I know Holy Saturday was almost a week ago now, however, I felt this video would be a beneficial meditation while we are still within the Octave of Easter. It will also give us a nice transition into one of the next episodes, where I'll be reading more visions from Anne Catherine Emmerich, on the days and events around Easter Sunday, and Our Lord's resurrection. I hope you enjoy! Remember, private revelations are not obligatory to the faithful, we as Catholics are free to believe in them or not. The choice is yours.

So you can pray along. ;) Don't forget to subscribe!] Today is March 19th, The Solemnity of St Joseph!!!! In honor of this great and powerful Saint, my middle namesake, and Terror of Demons, I put together a scriptural form of the St. Joseph's Rosary!

(Hey! This episode can be watched on YouTube!!! Go check it out!!! And while you're there hit that subscribe button!) In this episode we pick up where we left off talking about Lent, and the development of our tradition. Mainly focusing this episode on the development of fasting and how we got to where we are today. Also, before that I explain a little bit about some of the things the Church requests us to do during the Lenten Season, while we prepare to celebrate the death and resurrection, of Our Lord, on Good Friday and then Easter Sunday. I hope to upload a few more Lent themed episodes covering a few practices that hopefully you can use for the rest of our time during Lent to help you contemplate about the reason we partake in these observances, such as fasting. Also be on the lookout on the 19th I'll be releasing a St. Joseph's Rosary recitation in honor of our celebration of this great Saints feast day. In part of the episode I mention my Pillars; Here's a refresher in updated terms (seeing as I glossed over them and didn't reiterate): 1) Meditation (Contemplative Prayer) 2) Conformity to God's Will (Abandonment to Divine Providence) 3) Understanding that Sin Causes Suffering 4) Offering/Uniting Our Suffering with Christ on the Cross 5) Memento Mori (Contemplation on The Last Four Things; Death, Judgement, Heaven, Hell) Don't forget to subscribe!

[Hey! This episode is also a video on youtube! Go check it out! Link below.] In this episode, I explain the Buddhist tradition of "Khao Phansa", or also known as the Buddhist Lenten season, and figured I would take the opportunity to show the differences between it, and the history of the development of the Catholic Lenten Season and show why saying "Buddhist Lent" is not accurate.. To do it, I read from the Catholic Answers website, for a brief timeline of the Catholic Churches Lenten history. Mainly focusing on the development of the forty days of the Lenten season from as early as we can go, to the present day. In the next episode we will pick up where we left off and go over the development of the Lenten Fast. I will include the link to the Catholic Answers website I used below in case you would all like to go and read for yourself. Until then enjoy the history of this incredibly important penitential season. God Bless!!!

(Hey! This podcast is in video format on youtube as well! Click the link in the bottom of the description, head on over to youtube and check it out!) In this podcast episode we talk about St. Joseph, the Terror of Demons. With this year being declared by the Holy See as the year of St. Joseph, and March being the month typically dedicated too, and associated with, veneration of this most powerful Saint. I felt it would be a good time for us to talk about the protector of the Holy Family and Terror of Demons. To present a few prayers and devotions dedicated to him, as well as how one might be able to gain a plenary indulgence throughout the rest of this year, by meditation on this great and Blessed Saint. Below I have provided a grouping of links to various websites I used to put this episode together, as well as a few resources for prayers, novenas, and devotions associated to St Joseph.

In this, we start our "Know Thyself" episodes back up, Starting off with a quote from St. Therese of Lisieux. We discuss and read about the difference of being humiliated and taking it in bad stride, versus being humiliated and using it to further one's own humility and personal growth towards Christ, and his example on the Cross. (Go to the youtube link below and WATCH instead of listen! =] ) Also we talk for a brief few moments about the Litany of Humility, known to some as being the "Toughest Prayer." https://everydayprayerco.com/blogs/news/the-toughest-prayer(Check out EveryDay Prayer Co's online store and take a look at the wallet rosary cards!

(Hey! this episode is also a video on youtube! Go check it out now! Link below) In the first episode recorded and uploaded in quite a while, I ruminate some on the season of Lent. Also why it's been a while since I've brought an episode to all of you, and I lay out my plans for the show moving forward. Will Catholic With a Zen Mind cease to exist? Will I still focus on meditative Catholicism and contemplation on the Saints and their wisdom? Will we still analyze Buddhism in an effort to help keep people from falling into the traps of synchronization that so many seem to be ensnared within? Listen and find out!

Merry Christmas from me to you! In honor of this lost holy celebration I wanted to remind you all of the reason for the season, to help me do that I will enlist the help of one of my favorites, Fulton Sheen. Enjoy! And again Merry Christmas!!!

In this episode we dive into some topics I don't touch much on this show. Mainly because they aren't part of our “shtick.” But we go over the Marian Apparitions in Fatima Portugal in 1917. We read an account of the apparitions, it's emphasis on the daily rosary, the visions and messages given to our previous Warrior of the Rosary Sister Lucia. This is the story of Fatima, and some of the things that have ensued since. Remember Marian apparitions are not obligated to the faithful. These are free for you to reject if you should so choose. But still, take the message, pray your rosary.

In this episode we lead up to our Fatima episode by introducing three more Warriors. These three will lead us into the 20th century champions and Warriors of the Rosary. One of the Warriors will lead us into our next episode as a matter of fact, on The apparitions of Our Lady of Fatima. Hope you enjoy.

In this episode of Warriors of the rosary we read about two Warriors, or “Champions” of the rosary, who both have a relatively important hand in the development of the dogma of the Church, of the Immaculate Conception of our Lady. We also have somewhat of a “cameo” appearance by another saint who as well had a large hand in the development of the Immaculate Conception Dogma. Enjoy! Please, share, subscribe, review, and God Bless

In this episode we do a Warriors double header! I wanted to bring you all daily episodes of the Warriors but October ended up being a busy month, so we'll do a few multi warrior episodes along with two more later this month, on the Rosary as a spiritual weapon, and our recitation of the original 15 decades given to Saint Dominic by Our Lady.

In this episode we take a look at the founder of the Dominican order, and the founder of the rosary as we know it today, Saint Dominic.

Calloway. We'll go over the brief history of conflicts leading up to the battle, the people, places, vessels, key battle points, and new naval warfare strategical developments. We'll briefly reveal the name of a famous author who fought on the bows of the ships at Lepanto, and we will even have a brief mention of how Our Lady was present amidst the fight, and then at the end as an added treat, a poetry reading of “Lepanto” by G.K. Chesterton.

In this episode; We kick off our October in honor and celebration of the Holy Rosary. I've been waiting to do this episode for a while, and after this month I hope you'll see why. History and the origins, the spiritual warfare side, the meditative side, the champions who made this Holy weapon what it is today, and the victories the faithful have won by unsheathing this spiritual sword. Join me this whole month as we unpack as much as we possibly can about the beauty of the Most Holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary. (Next episode: the battle of lepanto and the military resume of the Rosary) ————- here are a number of articles for your rosary exploring pleasure including some on the seven sorrows rosary, I encourage you to listen to my episode on that devotion after this one. Enjoy!!!

In this episode of Know Thyself, we discuss pride, and the contradictory nature of exalting ones own humility. Enjoy! God Bless!

In this episode I present the topic of mental prayer as a whole instead of just meditative prayer. Mental Prayer itself is a giant of a topic and one I plan to revisit again in the future. This episode I read and go over the book “the Catechism of Mental Prayer.” In addition I read and discuss a little extra about Mental Prayer from some online articles, and read what some of the Saints had to say on mental prayer, including St. Teresa of Avila, and St Alphonsus Ligouri, to name a few. I hope this episode helps you to cultivate a more intimate and peaceful prayer life and to connect more fully with God. Here's the links to the articles as well as how to reach me, God Bless!

Another installment of Know Thyself! Today we discuss the unrealistic aspect of never doing any wrong, and being hard on oneself for it.

So I took the weekend off so to speak. After uploading quite a few episodes this past week I decided to let a few of you catch up. so, for now, I'll leave you with my rumination on a quote from Venerable Fulton J Sheen on advertising the business world and how the effect of these two put our spiritual life in jeopardy and causes us many frustrations, adds to prior frustrations, and further breaks the broken minds of our times. I'll be back Wednesday with a new episode know thyself, and then back again next weekend when we go over the catechism of mental prayer!

In this episode we briefly explore the concept of the Bodhisatva, and we explore the idea, (and common claim) that Jesus was a Bodhisatva. Using Alan Watts, and the Fundamentals of Catholic Dogma, I aim to shed some light on this claim. ——Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/JMartinCatholicZenMind/ Twitter: @KoC_Crusader Email: catholiczenmind@yahoo.com.

In this installment of “Know Thyself” we have a quote from St. Francis de Sales, and a meditations about how our sins put Jesus on the cross. Enjoy! And stay humble!

Not to be confused with my “Know Thyself” short series of weekly meditations, this episode of Scriptures and Parables we use Luke chapter 9 23-26 and the parallel idea of denial of self in Buddhism in a quote from Buddhist scripture, and the concept of no mind in a parable from the Gate-less Gate. Enjoy!!!

In this episode we go over our very first installment of Catholic History. I read about 20-30 mins worth of Catholic history at a time of my own notes taken from various Catholic history books. In this episode we have the early church. First I give a brief overview of the gospels, very brief... and then I move on discussing an overview of the early church until Paul. We discuss a bit about Paul and his travels and accomplishments. After that we move on to the first council of Jerusalem and then on to the Jewish Christians and their plight. Enjoy!
