The St. Paul Center's daily scripture reflections from the Mass for Friday of the Seventeenth Week in Ordinary Time by Dr. John Bergsma. Alphonsus Liguori, Bishop, Religious Founder, Doctor Obligatory Memorial First Reading: Leviticus 23: 1, 4-11, 15-16, 27, 34b-37 Responsorial Psalm: Psalms 81: 3-4, 5-6, 10-11ab Alleluia: First Peter 1: 25 Gospel: Matthew 13: 54-58   Learn more about the Mass at www.stpaulcenter.com

Gospel Matthew 13:54-58 Jesus came to his native place and taught the people in their synagogue. They were astonished and said, "Where did this man get such wisdom and mighty deeds? Is he not the carpenter's son? Is not his mother named Mary and his brothers James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas? Are not his sisters all with us? Where did this man get all this?" And they took offense at him. But Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor except in his native place and in his own house." And he did not work many mighty deeds there because of their lack of faith. Reflection The kingdom of God invites us to let go of so many limitations in our minds, in terms of how things work. And here we're seeing the resistance to something they might call, the scandal of ordinariness. Who would have ever dreamt that the Messiah of the world would not come from the temple? Would not come from one of the great Pharisees? Instead came from a nobody in a small town that wasn't a very important place. What is all this saying? I think it's saying very simply that when we have faith, real faith, we let it override our minds, our logic. We realize that we're living in a world that is beyond our imagining and what God can do is more than we could ever imagine. That's entering the kingdom. That's what we're called to do. Closing Prayer Father, Jesus was powerful, but he didn't come from a system of great power. The temple was known for its power over people, the laws that they had to follow. But what Jesus, I think teaching us is that there is a way in which power is not what we think it is. It is infusing one with wisdom, not burdening them with something that they must do or be punished. And we ask this in Jesus' name, Amen. Learn more about your ad choices.

St. Alphonsus Liguori, Bishop, Doctor of the Church (Memorial)

St. Alphonsus was rejected like our Lord

Day 9 St. Alphonsus you have said: “Think of what the Saints have done for their neighbor because they loved God. But what Saint's love for God can match Mary's? She loved Him more in the first moment of her existence than all the Saints and angels ever loved Him or will love Him... Just as there is not one among all the Blessed who loves God as Mary does, so there is no one, after God, who loves us as much as this most loving Mother does. Furthermore, if we heaped together all the love that mothers have for their children, all the love of husbands and wives, all the love of all the angels and Saints for their clients, it could never equal Mary's love for even a single soul.” The post Novena to St. Alphonsus Liguori – Day 9 – Discerning Hearts Podcast appeared first on Discerning Hearts Catholic Podcasts.

Day 8 St. Alphonsus you have said:St.-Alphonsus-8 "Loving souls can find no greater delight than to be in the company of those whom they love. If we, then, love Jesus Christ much, behold we are now in his presence. Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament sees us and hears us; shall we, then, say nothing to Him? Let us console ourselves in His company; let us rejoice in His glory, and in the love which so many enamoured souls bear Him in the Most Holy Sacrament. Let us desire that all should love Jesus in the Holy Sacrament, and consecrate their hearts to Him; at least let us consecrate our affections to Him. He should be all our love and our whole desire." The post Novena to St. Alphonsus Liguori -Day 8 – Discerning Hearts Podcast appeared first on Discerning Hearts Catholic Podcasts.

Day 6 St. Alphonsus you have said: There can be no greater Lord than God; neither can there be a more ardent lover than He. Far from despising our confidence in Him, He rejoices that we have it—confidence and familiarity and affection like that which little children show toward their mothers. .... Just as a mother finds pleasure in taking her little child on her lap, there to feed and caress him, in like manner our loving God shows His fondness for His beloved souls who have given themselves entirely to Him and have placed all their hope in His goodness. The post Novena to St. Alphonsus Liguori – Day 6 – Discerning Hearts Podcast appeared first on Discerning Hearts Catholic Podcasts.

St. Alphonsus you have said: You are not asked to apply your mind continually to the thought of God and lay aside the fulfillment of your duties and your recreations. ... Your God is ever beside you—indeed, He is even within you. “In Him we live, and move, and have our being.” (Acts 17:28). Not only is there no need of an intermediary through whom He would want you to speak to Him, but He finds His delight in having you treat with Him personally and in all confidence. Speak to Him often of your business, your plans, your troubles, your fears—of everything that concerns you. But above all, converse with Him confidently and frankly; for God is not wont to speak to a soul that does not speak to Him..

Day 4 St. Alphonsus you have said: “If you wish to strengthen your confidence in God still more, often recall the loving way in which He has acted toward you, and how mercifully He has tried to bring you out of your sinful life, to break your attachment to the things of earth and draw you to His love. With such thoughts in your mind, now that you have resolved to love Him and please Him with all your strength, your only fear should be to fear God too much and to place too little confidence in Him.” The post Novena to St. Alphonsus Liguori – Day 4 – Discerning Hearts Podcast appeared first on Discerning Hearts Catholic Podcasts.

Day 3 St. Alphonsus you have said: “The more a person loves God, the more reason he has to hope in Him. This hope produces in the Saints an unutterable peace, which they preserve even in adversity, because as they love God, and know how beautiful He is to those who love Him, they place all their confidence and find all their repose in Him alone.” The post Novena to St. Alphonsus Liguori – Day 3 – Discerning Hearts Podcast appeared first on Discerning Hearts Catholic Podcasts.

Day 2 St. Alphonsus you have said: “Acquire the habit of speaking to God as if you were alone with Him, familiarly and with confidence and love, as to the dearest and most loving of friends. Speak to Him often of your business, your plans, your troubles, your fears— of everything that concerns you. Converse with Him confidently and frankly; for God is not wont to speak to a soul that does not speak to Him.” The post St. Alphonsus Liguori Novena – Day 2 – Discerning Hearts Podcast appeared first on Discerning Hearts Catholic Podcasts.

Day 7 St. Alphonsus you have said:St.-Alphonsus-7 The more a person loves God, the more reason he has to hope in Him. This hope produces in the Saints an unutterable peace, which they preserve even in adversity, because as they love God, and know how beautiful He is to those who love Him, they place all their confidence and find all their repose in Him alone. The post Novena to St. Alphonsus Liguori – Day 7 – Discerning Hearts Podcast appeared first on Discerning Hearts Catholic Podcasts.

Day 1 St. Alphonsus you have said: "If we would completely rejoice the heart of God, let us strive in all things to conform ourselves to His divine will. Let us not only strive to conform ourselves, but also to unite ourselves to whatever dispositions God makes of us. Conformity signifies that we join our wills to the will of God. Uniformity means more. Uniformity means that we make one will of God's will and our will. In this way we will only what God wills. God's will alone is our will.

Chapter III: How We Should Converse With God; In General Pray in Your Trials Pray in Your Joys Pray After a Fault Pray in Your Doubts Pray For Your Neighbor Speak To God of Heaven

from St. Alphonsus Liguori.

Fr. Andrew Walsh joins the podcast to defend himself against accusations of grumpiness and to explain his love for both St. Alphonsus Liguori and disc golf before sharing his vocation story. 

In this episode of Fatima Today, hosts Barb Ernster and Katie Moran explore the rich Marian devotions of the Eastern Church. They discuss the Akathist Hymn to the Theotokos and the deep veneration of the Mother of God under the title of “Protection.” The conversation highlights the miraculous Icon of Our Lady of Mariapovch, which began shedding tears in 1670 and now resides in the Cathedral of St. Stephen in Vienna, with copies in Hungary and at a shrine in Cleveland, Ohio. Katie also shares the story of the apparitions of Our Lady of Hrushiv in Ukraine on May 12, 1914, where the Blessed Mother warned of Russia becoming godless and pleaded for the rosary—drawing a powerful connection to the message of Fatima. The episode concludes with a reflection on four beloved icons traditionally attributed to St. Luke: Our Lady of Vladimir in Russia, Our Lady of Czestochowa in Poland, Salus Populi Romani in Rome's Basilica of St. Mary Major, and Our Lady of Perpetual Help in the Church of St. Alphonsus Liguori. These sacred images testify to the enduring love and protection of the Blessed Mother across East and West.  

Send us a textWhat does the devil know about Mary… that we don't?In this powerful reflection, we explore a chilling moment from an exorcism recorded by St. Alphonsus Liguori. When a priest asked the demon, “What is Mary doing?” the response was shocking: “She is descending and ascending.” What does that mean? And what does it reveal about her role as the Mother of Mercy?Support the showSupport this show and get all future episodes by email atwww.kenandjanelle.com

From the works of St. Alphonsus Liguori.

The two guarentees in life are death and taxes. Maybe not today, but death is out there, real and heavy. Who's in your corner when the end closes in? St. Joseph, Patron of the Dying, the guy who died with Jesus and Mary at his side, offering you a happy death if you lean on him. In this Lenten Reflection, we tackle the unavoidable head-on. Joseph's not just a saint for the cozy moments but he is the steady hand turning fear into peace. St. Alphonsus Liguori and Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich back it up: he left this world surrounded by holiness, showing us how to die in God's grace. Our culture dodges death; Joseph embraces it, teaching us to live better by facing it. Your challenge: take one minute today. Reflect on your death: who is there, and what matters? It's not about more shifts or cash but about relationships with God and family. Hit play, grab your coffee, and let's stare down the end with St. Joseph's grit.Keywords: St. Joseph, Catholic men, Patron of the Dying, Lent reflection, memento mori, death, faith, Manly Catholic podcast  Products/References:  Catechism: Paragraph 1014  Book: The Comfort Crisis by Michael Easter  Tradition: St. Alphonsus Liguori, Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich (Life of the Blessed Virgin Mary)  Contact: themanlycatholic@gmail.com  Powerful Quotes:  “When we reflect on death more and more throughout our day... it changes how we behave in the here and the now.”  “St. Joseph is the patron of the dying because he gets the struggle... he's that man to go to for a happy death.”  “At the end of the day, that's all that matters—our relationship first and foremost with God... and then with the people that God entrusted to us.”Key Takeaway:Take one minute today to think about your death—what you'd regret, who you'd want near. It'll sharpen your focus on what's real: God and family.  Call to Action: Share this episode with a brother, and drop us a line at themanlycatholic@gmail.com or a comment on YouTube/X.
