Teatime with the Mystics

Today I talk about worldly relationships with friends, family, and romantic partners. Are your friends getting you into heaven? Is your romantic partner helping you to be the best saint you can be? When should we let people go from our lives? Today we read from St John of the Ladder and his spiritual advice on Godly vs worldly relationships, and why detachment is always the best policy ;)Hope you enjoy!Instagram: @MysticalTeatimeYoutube: @Jacob RagozzineVenmo: @Jacob-Ragozzine

Hey, y'all I recorded this episode a while back, but decided not to publish it because I thought it might be too controversial or doomsdayish. However, with the way things are going I feel like its fitting to finally publish it. Bl. Anne Catherine Emmerich lays out the fall of the west and the near destruction of the church, however in her messages there also rings hope! Christ's church will never fail!

Howdy y'all this week we're getting the tea from St Faustina! She's one of my favorite mystics and one of my best pals in heaven. I talk a little bit about how Faustina's intercession brought me to the faith, as well as the five ways she's impacted me and my spiritual life. We take a look at several passages from her spiritual life and try and apply it to our lives!

Catholics are all about praying the rosary! But do you know the story of the rosary? Many of us probably know that Our Lady gave the rosary to St Dominic. But do you know why she gave him the rosary? Or do you know what happened after St Dominic's death and how Our Lady revived the practice of the rosary one hundred years after it had been forgotten? And what does Our Lady of Fatima say about praying the rosary? In this episode I hope to show you that the rosary is more than just a couple of beads but rather a gift from heaven!

In this episode we talk about viewing our interior lives as a garden. Full of the most beautiful flowers, but also some weeds. Why is it important to maintain this garden, spend time in this garden, and find peace in this garden.

In this episode we talk about how trying to control our lives without the Lord ultimately leads to anxiety and pain. However when we abandon our will to God's we find freedom and liberation. This is best exemplified by Mary when she says "yes" to bear the God of the universe within her womb.

This week we talk about Jesus' commandment to love one another as he loves us and the many challenges that this demands. How can we love those we view as enemies, or those sinners we just can't stand. Our main mystic this week is my favorite saint, St Francis of Assisi and diving into how he loved both the Sultan and the Prostitute. If you like the episode subscribe.

"She fell on her face weeping at His feet, her hair flowing loosely around her. Jesus comforted her."Mary Magdalene is the ideal penitent. Being only mentioned a handful of times in scripture, she has inspired countless people of the unfathomable mercy of God. Today we look at her hidden life as seen by the mystic Bl. Anne Catherine Emmerich. An Augustinian sister, stigmatic and mystic. If you enjoy this episode please share! Praying for all of you!

We are called to imitate Jesus. But without specific goals or ideals in the spiritual life, pursuing Jesus is no more that a vague and meaningless statement. This we talk about how to set goals for ourselves in the spiritual life so that we can be the best saints that we can be!

We have so much potential to be great saints but what are we willing to do to bring that potential into actuality? How often do we allow ourselves to slack and become lukewarm. Jesus has strong words fro the "lukewarm" when he speaks to Faustina. We'll be talking about all this and more!

In 1916 an angel started appearing to three children in Portugal. By 1917 Mary had begun appearing to the three children! Journey into the wild world of Fatima as we discuss the timeline of events as well as the global political scene leading up to these appearances.

In this first episode we discuss the goals of this podcast, trying to live a spiritual life in an increasingly secular world, how the mystics can help guide us, New Age spirituality, as well as my own personal testimony and journey and how I fell in love with the mystical and contemplative tradition of Catholicism.*Also PS Teresa of Avila lived in the 1500s not the 14th century ;)
