Anthony Esolen examines how modern secular philosophies undermine the Catholic Church's teachings on human nature, marriage, and family. He emphasizes that Catholic Social Teaching offers a unified worldview, where insights on family life are interconnected with teachings on the poor, the Eucharist, education, and governance. Esolen advocates for a return to these authentic teachings to address societal ills and foster a culture rooted in love of God and neighbor.

Episode 183 - Contemplative Spaces What stands in your way to go deeper with the Lord? We believe that growing in silence and our ability to contemplate is of supreme importance, but to actually respond to that is undoubtedly gonna be very very hard as well. So, how do we do this practically? Today, we're going to talk about how actual behavior change happens and how we can set ourselves up for success to truly grow in silence and make our contemplative spaces.

Contemplative Spaces

Episode 283 - Franciscan Jubilee What do we do when the Church invites us to slow down and then calls us to go deeper? In this episode, the friars reflect on the newly announced Jubilee Year of St. Francis and what it means not just for Franciscans, but for the whole Church. They share why this moment feels like a continuation of grace rather than a reset, an invitation to keep living the Jubilee spirit of holiness, simplicity, and trust. They talk about St. Francis not as an unreachable saint, but as a brother who shows us how to follow Jesus with clarity and freedom. This conversation explores holiness as something concrete and lived: simplifying our lives, returning to prayer, falling in love with the Eucharist, and letting ourselves be captivated by Christ again. Join us as we begin this Jubilee year together, learning, little by little, how to follow Jesus more simply and more fully.

Franciscan Jubilee

Political Spin Class, Pt. 2

Episode 74 - A Holy Hiding For 30 years, Jesus lived quietly in Nazareth with Mary and Joseph; his "hidden" years. Through his normal day-to-day living of going to school and having friends and putting in a hard day's work, Jesus made sacred the hidden space. That hidden space is where most of us live most of our lives—out of the public eye, going about our everyday without much notice by others. Hidden from the world, but absolutely seen by the Father in that uniquely silent space that is set apart. In our busyness, we need to follow Jesus into that place with his Father. It's different than running away. It's not hiding from our problems… it's hiding with the Lord. It's a holy kind of hiding. What does this mean for mission? During those private decades, Jesus knew his mission and was patient in waiting for it. He didn't rush. And so for us, Nazareth gives us permission to let the Lord lead; to let the Lord form us. It's ok that this takes time. Starting next week: a series on the Litany of Trust (from the Sisters of Life).

A Holy Hiding

&quot;Nothing is far from God&quot; Have you ever heard the quote &quot;You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our heart is restless until it rests in you.&quot;? Or what about &quot;To fall in love with God is the greatest romance; to seek Him, the greatest adventure and to find Him, the greatest human achievement&quot;? These beautiful quotes are from the incredible Saint, Augustine of Hippo. And before he was a saint, Augustine was nothing short of a ruffian and rebel. It was only by the grace of God that he went on to become saint and doctor of the church! And we will tell his story...but! Not yet. First, we have to start with the story of the one that prayed Augustine into the arms of God, the woman who wept and fought for his holiness: Augustine&apos;s mother, Saint Monica.Saints Alive is brought to you by the #1 Catholic Prayer App, Hallow!

Dr. Taylor Marshall examines how clandestine societies, including Modernists and Marxists, have infiltrated the Catholic Church since the mid-19th century. He argues that these groups aimed to subvert the Church's doctrine, liturgy, and mission by strategically placing their members within seminaries, the priesthood, and the episcopacy, ultimately seeking to influence the election of popes. Marshall contends that many contemporary Church scandals result from this orchestrated plot, rather than cultural changes or the outcomes of the Second Vatican Council. He discusses topics such as the role of Freemasonry, the warnings of Our Lady of La Salette, and the implications of the Third Secret of Fatima, providing a perspective on the challenges facing the Church today.

Meditations for Lent

I'll share with you why I started a Catholic lofi channel. We'll also look at what St Thomas Aquinas says are 4 characteristics of joy. 🎧 Catholic Lofi: <a href="https://youtu.be/FbsO3bgyH84">https://youtu.be/FbsO3bgyH84</a> 😊 Locals (Morning Coffee podcast): <a href="https://mattfradd.locals.com/">https://mattfradd.locals.com/</a> Aquinas on the four characteristics of joy: Anyone who desires to make progress must have spiritual joy: "A cheerful heart is a good medicine" (Prov. 17:22). The Apostle touches on four characteristics of true joy; First, it must be right, this happens when it concerns the proper good of man, which is not something created, but God: "But for me it is good to be near God; I have made the Lord God my refuge" (Ps. 73:28). Therefore, it is right, when there is joy in the Lord; hence he says, in the Lord: "'Me joy of the Lord is your strength" (Neh.,8:10). Secondly, it is continuous; hence he says, always, "Rejoice always" (1 Thess. 5:16). This happens when it is not interrupted by sin, for then it is continuous. But sometimes it is interrupted by temporal sadness, which signifies the imperfection of joy. For when a person rejoices perfectly, his joy is not interrupted, because he cares little about things that do not last; that is why he says always. Thirdly, it should be multiple, for if you rejoice in God, you will rejoice in His incarnation: I bring you good news of a great joy, which will come to all the people; for to you is born this day in the city of David a Savior" (Lk. 2: 10); and in your own activity: "When justice is done, it is a joy to the righteous" (Prov. 21:15); and in your contemplation: "Companionship with her has no bitterness" (Wis. 8:16). Again, if you rejoice in your good, you will be prepared to rejoice in the good of others; if you rejoice in the present, you are prepared to rejoice in the future; hence he says, again I will say, rejoice. Fourthly, it should be moderate and not flooded with pleasures, as happens in worldly joy; hence he says, let all men know your forbearance. As if to say: Your joy should be so moderated that it will not degenerate into dissoluteness: "The people continued feasting in Jerusalem before the sanctuary" (Judith 16:20). He says, let all men know, as if to say: Your life should be so moderate in externals, that it offends the gaze of no one; for that would hinder your manner of life. Learn more about your ad choices.

Why I Started a LOFI Channel 🎧😊

Fr. John reminisces with Fr. Mike on an experience he had hiking Little Bear Peak, one of the most challenging 14ers in Colorado. This experience along with many others has inspired Fr. John to write a book this summer giving the perspective of how a person can rebuild a Christian worldview and rediscover God and themselves in the backcountry.

Episode 197 - Marian Posture, Series on "Mary and the Interior Life" by Fr. Jeremiah Shryock (Part 2) Is your prayer and your life two separate realities? Mary gives us a ton of hope that the grace of God and the Holy Spirit meet us in reality. The Marian posture at the core of it is about the reality of the fullness of God. Mary teaches us that The best place to live your spiritual life is in reality—in where you are right now in this moment. It's about living one reality in the presence of God. This episode is an invitation for us to have confidence in the daily bread and the grace given to us here and now. Let's not spend our time fantasizing about the change out there but try and respond as best as possible to what's currently there. Let's engage every part of our reality with the Lord while having a deep sense of his love and attentiveness as we respond in those moments.

10/6 - St. Bruno

Fr. Sean and Fr. Jacob dive into the four senses of Scripture—literal, allegorical, moral, and anagogical—and explore how they impact the way we interpret and pray with the biblical text.

That's So Typical

This week Fr. Mike and Dcn. Jacob wax poetically about chaos and order. In context of the Companions own self reflections, they discuss the interplay of stability and uncertainty, and the important harmonies of life that allow for healthy growth and adventure.

Harmonies

<ol><li>Summary:  In this episode I discuss the crucial role of the right kinds of corrective and healing experiences in our lives.  I then offer you three inner experiential exercises to help you understand three questions: 1) In what ways do you not love yourself (with a special focus on inner critics); 2) your inner tension between connection and protection; and 3) your internal battles with rigidity and chaos.</li><li>Lead in:  <ol><li>Experience.  </li><li>I have been wanting for a long time to offer you some experiential exercises <ol><li>In episodes 89, 90, and 92, I gave you a lot of conceptual information about polyvagal theory, about interpersonal neurobiology, some more about Internal family systems, but something has been missing</li><li>And what's been missing, in my opinion, is the experiential part of this for us.  <ol><li>Julius Caesar "Experience is the teacher of all things"  De Bello Civilli</li><li>John Stuart Mill:  There are many truths of which the full meaning cannot be realized until personal experience has brought it home.  -- On liberty</li></ol></li></ol></li><li>Experience.  There is no substitute for experiential learning  <ol><li>Otherwise it can stay all in the conceptual realm, all in your head, all in your mind.  <ol><li>Michael Smith:  The major problem is that we tend to live our life in our head, in our thoughts and stories, cut off from our actual experience.</li></ol></li></ol></li><li> <ol><li>What I want for you is much more than that.  I want you to be able to change for the better in the deepest ways.  <ol><li>And you can't think or study your way there</li></ol></li></ol></li><li> <ol><li>Not the same experiences over and over -- some people have that kind of life.  <ol><li>Rather, a capacity for experience -- the ability to take in, process, and integrate new experiences as part of your human formation.  </li><li>George Bernard Shaw:  Men are wise in proportion, not to their experience, but to their capacity for experience.</li></ol></li></ol></li><li> </li><li>What holds us back?  <ol><li>Many would say fear.  Fear of the unknown.  Fear of putting ourselves out there.  Fear keeps us from new experiences and for the corrective effects of new experiences.  And I think that's true.  But I don't think fear is the primary obstacle.  There's some thing deeper than fear that holds us back.</li></ol></li><li> <ol><li>What is it that really holds us back from new experiences?  What goes deeper than our fear?  [Drum roll]</li><li>Our Shame.  It is our shame that holds us back from new experiences and the healing that new experiences can bring to us.</li><li>The fear is a secondary reaction.  We wouldn't have the fear if we didn't have the shame, the gnawing sense of inadequacy or not being good enough.  Too much shame makes us fragile, way to concerned about protecting ourselves</li><li>And in the natural realm, it's shame that most often keeps us from taking in the love from God, from others, and from ourselves -- it's shame that generates our fear, the desire to protect our wounds, that shuts us off from ourselves and other people  <ol><li>Shame generates fear -- fear fuels our self-protection and shuts down the openness to experience.  The shame to fear to self-protection progression builds walls around our hearts.  We see vulnerability as dangerous.</li></ol></li><li> <ol><li>Brené Brown, Daring Greatly  Vulnerability is the core, the heart, the center, of meaningful human experiences.</li></ol></li><li> </li></ol></li><li>Shame is so important, I spent 13 episodes of this podcast just on that one topic.  Those 13 episodes, episodes 37 to 49 on it  <ol><li>Those episodes on shame are foundational -- they are the most fundamental episodes of this podcast.  So many of our problem go back to shame, and nearly all psychological dysfunction in the natural realm has its root and origin in shame.  </li></ol></li><li> <ol><li>If you haven't listened to those episodes, or if it's been a long time, go back and listen to them.  </li></ol></li><li> </li><li>So now, in this episode, I am bringing to you the kinds of experiential exercises, the kind of experiential learning that can help you understand yourself so much better and get you started toward a more solid natural foundation for your spiritual life, much better human formation.</li><li>And what I want for you most of all is for you to experience love.  To be able to receive love -- to receive love from others, from yourself, from God.  And to love.  To join those men and women who are on an adventure of love  <ol><li>1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear.</li></ol></li><li> <ol><li>How does it do that?  How does perfect love cast out fear -- does it just numb fear while leaving your shame intact?  No, I really don’t think that's how it works for me and you. </li></ol></li><li> <ol><li>Love is the antidote for shame.  Love cures shame.  Three kinds of love.  <ol><li>Love from God</li><li>Love from others, including the saints, especially our Mother Mary</li><li>Love from ourselves to ourselves.  </li></ol></li></ol></li><li> </li><li>I invite you to join me on this great adventure of loving, especially in this episode, right now, this episode number 93 of this podcast, Interior Integration for Catholics, let us journey together</li><li>I am Dr. Peter Malinoski, clinical psychologist and passionate Catholic and together, we can have the relational encounters we need to learn to be loved and to love.  </li><li> Interior Integration for Catholics is part of our broader outreach, Souls and Hearts.  Souls and Hearts brings you the best of psychology and human formation grounded in a Catholic understanding of the human person to you and the rest of the world through our website soulsandhearts.com</li><li>We are continuing our series on how the best of secular psychological approaches define mental health, psychological well-being.  We started with Episode 89 on Polyvagal Theory and covered Positive Psychology, Psychodynamic Psychotherapy and Internal Family Systems in Episode 90.  </li><li>Today's episode, number 93 is entitled "Three Experiential Exercisesx"  and it's released on May 2, 2022 and today, I am offering you</li></ol></li><li>Three longer experiential exercises today, about 20 minutes each  <ol><li>Informed by IFS -- can check out episode 71 of this podcast to find out more about IFS -- A new and better way of understanding yourself and others.  Great preparation for these exercises.  <ol><li>Grounded in a Catholic understanding of the human person</li></ol></li></ol></li><li> <ol><li>Three experiential exercises  <ol><li> In what ways do you not love yourself?

7/7 - Bl. Benedict XI

<ol><li>Dr. Peter brings you inside the inner world of so many parents, spouses, children, and siblings of those who died by suicide.  Through an imagination exercise, research, quotes from family members, and the Internal Family Systems model of the person, he invites you to a deeper understanding of other others experience a loved one's suicide.  </li><li>Lead-in  <ol><li>The world is full of ‘friends’ of suicide victims thinking ‘if I had only made that drive over there, I could have done something.’ —Darnell Lamont Walker  an artist; a writer, photographer, painter, and filmmaker.</li></ol></li><li> <ol><li>Ok, so we're continuing to discuss suicide here, we're taking on the tough topics</li></ol></li><li> <ol><li>And I want to start with a caution -- if you have lost a loved one to suicide, this episode may be really healing but it also may be really difficult.  If you are raw and struggling with a death, be really thoughtful about when and how you listen to this.  Pay attention to your window of tolerance and if it's too much right now, know that I respect that and I invite you to approach this topic in a way that is right for you, with help from a counselor, a spiritual director, a trusted friend, somebody you know.  </li></ol></li><li> <ol><li>Also, this imagination exercise will be hard to really get into if you're driving or engaged in other activities.  You can try it, but it's going to be really emotionally evocative for many people.  I suggest that you create a good space to engage with </li></ol></li><li> <ol><li>Imagine looking through your front window and seeing a police cruiser pull up.   One uniformed police officer gets out and a woman in plainclothes and they slowly walk to your door.  They ring the doorbell.  You open the door.  The officer removes his hat and tucks it under his arm.  The man seems nervous and clears his throat.  The woman introduces herself and tells you she is the victims' assistance coordinator or something like that for your county.  She asks your name.  You give it.  She asks if they can come inside and talk with you.  "We have very difficult news for you," she says with sympathy in her brown eyes.  Your heart stops beating.  The officer looks away, he looks like he'd be anywhere else, rather than here with you.  You let them in, now only vaguely aware of your surroundings, the shape your living room is in right now.  </li></ol></li><li> <ol><li>From the couch, in a gentle, matter-of-fact and very calm manner , the victim service coordinator tells you that the one you so love, you so cherish in the world is dead.  She names the name.  Yes, it's verified.  Yes, there is no mistake.  How, how did this happen you ask.  The officer explains the details of the citizens' reports called in earlier in the day. He was the first law enforcement officer on the scene, got there just before the EMTs, he had photographed the body, taken notes, conducted the brief investigation.  His throat catches.  There are tears in his eyes.  He hates this part of the job.  He tells a few details of the suicide scene.  You need to know this, he says, I'm required to tell you.  The woman reaches out her professional hand to you, offering her version of compassion.  </li></ol></li><li> <ol><li>Observe what's going on inside you right now, as you enter into this scene in your imagination.  What is happening in your body, your thoughts, you emotions, your impulses, your desires? Let yourself enter into this experience</li></ol></li><li> <ol><li>The victims' assistance coordinator is discussing a few details "Things I have to tell you" she says.  Standard protocols in situations like this.  Something about confirming the identity in the morgue, something else about an autopsy.  Something about who you can lean on in your support network family and friends.  Something about how hard this all is to take in at once.  And there are some government forms to fill out.  And a very nicely designed brochure entitled "Surviving the Loss of a Loved One to Suicide" that you get to keep for handy reference.  Do you have any questions at this point she asks?  Yes, we are sure it's your loved one.  The identification was very clear, there is no mistake.  </li></ol></li><li> <ol><li>Stay with this experience for just a minute if you can without losing your grounding.</li></ol></li><li> <ol><li>See if you can just accept what's going on inside -- and acceptance doesn't necessarily mean endorsement -- see if you can accept what's going on inside and really experience it -- the feelings, the impulses, the assumptions, the thoughts, the beliefs, the implications, whatever is coming up.   </li></ol></li><li> <ol><li>Do you notice different parts within you?  Different modes of being, maybe different messages coming to you?</li></ol></li><li> <ol><li>You may just have experienced a taste, a sip of the cup that 300,000 parents, siblings, children and spouses of those who die by suicide experience each year in the US, and millions worldwide.  Hang on to what you learned about your reactions, keep it in mind as we dive deep into suicides devastating impact on those left behind.  [Cue Intro Music]</li></ol></li><li> </li><li>Opening  <ol><li>Welcome to the podcast Interior Integration for Catholics, thank you for being here with me, it is good to be here with you, I am glad we are together as we face this difficult topic of suicide.  In episode I am clinical psychological Peter Malinoski and you are listening to the Interior Integration for Catholics podcast, where we take on the toughest topics, the most difficult and raw themes that many people want to avoid.  Interior Integration for Catholics is part of our broader outreach Souls and Hearts bringing the best of psychology grounded in a Catholic worldview to you and the rest of the world through our website soulsandhearts.com</li></ol></li><li> <ol><li>This is the fourth in our series on Suicide.  <ol><li>In episode 76, we got into what the secular experts have to say about suicide.</li></ol></li><li> <ol><li>In episode 77, we reviewed the suicides in Sacred Scripture, in the Bible.  </li></ol></li><li> <ol><li>In the last episode, number 78, we sought to really understand the phenomenological worlds of those who kill themselves -- what happens inside?  How can we understand suicidal behaviors more clearly, dispelling myths and gripping on to the sense of desperation and the need for relief that drives so much suicidal behavior.</li></ol></li><li> <ol><li>Today, in Episode 79, released on August 2, 2021 we will take a deep dive into the devastating impact of suicide on those left behind.  We'll go deep into the internal experience of the parents, spouses, children, siblings, and friends of those who killed themselves to see how they experienced suicide.  </li></ol></li><li> </li><li>Alison Wertheimer: A Special Scar: The Experiences of People Bereaved by Suicide said this: [Suicide] has often far-reaching repercussions for many others. It is rather like throwing a stone into a pond; the ripples spread and spread.  Now, Alison, with all due respect, I think you're totally wrong about that.  It's not just ripples from a stone in a pond. For the spouses, parents, children, siblings and friends who are left behind to deal with the impact of a suicide it's more like a tidal wave resulting from an underwater earthquake than ripples from a stone.  </li><li> Linda Lee Landon -- Author of Life after Suicide said this, which is much more on the money:  Suicide creates a monstrous emotional upsurge of sha...</li></ol></li></ol>
