It's not in seeking self-gratification, physical pleasure, wealth, possessions, esteem or power, like the culture often leads us to believe. Rather, it is in recognising our deepest identity in Christ and embracing His call to lay down our lives and become a sincere gift of self.

In this episode, Charbel sits down with Dr Robert Haddad as they discuss the presence of God among us through the Eucharist. His new book "We Have Seen His Glory” dives into how God has always dwelt among his people. Over the millennia he has walked and talked among us, appearing as cloud, fire, wind or dove. Today, God is among us in even more proximate and intimate ways.

God clearly condemns the use of any 'graven images', and yet Catholic churches, claiming to follow the will of God, are packed with statuary from the nave to the altar. Is there a difference between the idols of pagan rites and statues of Catholic religion? Do Catholics really worship or pray to them? Raymond De Souza journeys through the biblical foundations of statues in Hebrew and Catholic worship, from the Ark of the Covenant in the Old Testament to the will of Christ in the New Testament, conveyed to us through His Church.

Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers discusses what it means to be a Catholic man in today's society by exploring how contemporary culture speaks to men about truth, faith, and the meaning of life. Men who live their faith in fidelity to God's holy will become free to love and more open to receive the gift of grace in response to the Lord's call to “be perfect as the Heavenly Father is perfect” (Matthew 5:48). Deacon Harold shows how an authentic, Christ-centred male spirituality fosters and nurtures growth in holiness, encourages men to become defenders of the culture of life, and inspires men to become loving servants of their wives, families, and the Church.

With all his eloquence, Fr Jerry Gehringer tells the story of the Blessed Virgin Mary and examines Marian beliefs. While considering the phases of the life of Mary, Father Jerry Gehringer discusses various problems common to mankind of all times and in his inimitable manner reveals clearly that every problem, however difficult, may be resolved. Mankind's need of the Mother of God and her burning love for all her children are repeatedly stressed by Father Jerry Gehringer. The tremendous resurgence today of devotion to Mary is God's way of emphasising the worth and dignity of mankind as against false doctrines which have so confused the modern world. _________________   Join the Parousia mailing list at https://www.parousiamedia.com/mailing-list/ Parousia is committed to proclaiming the fullness of truth!

In this week's podcast, Charbel interviews Dr Edward Sri, author of 'When You Pray'. Do you ever hear Catholics talk about prayer but feel like you can't relate? You know prayer is important, but you still find it challenging. Perhaps it's hard to find time to pray, or you're unsure what to do when you do pray. Or maybe you feel restless and distracted and don't feel close to God. You might struggle to trust God and surrender to his will. What God did in countless saints, he wants to do in ordinary people like us. And that's what this book is about: the journey God wants to take us on in our prayer life. Inspired by the real example of the saints, we will learn how to pray with the same consistency, trust, peace, and passion that led to deep transformation in their souls. When You Pray: Surrender, and the Transformation of Your Soul will help you begin your journey of prayer, rejuvenate your prayer life, and strengthen your relationship with God so that you can give God your entire heart. __________________   Links: https://focus.org/ https://seek.focus.org/ https://edwardsri.com/ When You Pray - A Clear Path to a Deeper Relationship with God: https://store.parousiamedia.com/when-you-pray-a-clear-path-to-a-deeper-relationship-with-god-dr-edward-sri-ascension-paperback/ Join the Parousia mailing list at https://www.parousiamedia.com/mailing-list/ Parousia is committed to proclaiming the fullness of truth!
