Podcasts about Aragon

Constanza de Sicilia y Pedro de Aragón estuvieron casados más de 20 años, desde 1262 a 1285, cuando la muerte de Pedro puso fin a un matrimonio que pasó separado los últimos años, él en la península, ella en Sicilia. Entre ellos hubo, según cuentan las crónicas, un clima de entendimiento y confianza mutua a lo largo de los años y de hecho, Constanza tendría un papel clave en el día a día del reino. El matrimonio tuvo como fruto al menos seis hijos que han pasado a la historia: Alfonso, que reinaría como Alfonso III de Aragón, Jaime que sucedería a su hermano como Jaime II, Federico que fue rey de Sicilia, Isabel, Violante y Pedro. Pero además, Pedro tuvo una larga lista de hijos fuera del matrimonio que los historiadores han rastreado e identificado. De ellos y de vida íntima en la corte hablamos en este capítulo de Reinas, Damas y Señoras, mujeres en las sombras de la Casa Real de Aragon.

Here it is, the finale to the wild life of Margaret Pole, Countess of Salisbury and last great Plantagenet. What a rollercoaster it's been. We jump back into Henry VIII's chaos: Catherine of Aragon cast aside, Anne Boleyn crowned (and gone), Thomas Cromwell on the rise, and our fiercely Catholic Margaret trying to keep her head We follow Reginald Pole's “turbo treason” across Europe and watch as the Exeter Conspiracy brings down Margaret and her family. From skipped coronations and pointed petitions to house arrest and the Tower, we unpack how a 60-something noblewoman became the poster child for Tudor paranoia, and why her 1541 execution by bill of attainder stunned Europe.

With so much money and power, royals were able to invent some pretty unique and creative ways to slay their enemies, or accidentally seal their own doom. From a Chinese Emperor's deadly elixir of life to a steamy Roman romance that got a little too scalding hot.

John 8:31-36Jesus said to some of the Jews who had believed in him, “If you continue in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth and the truth will make you free.” They said to him, “We are descendant of Abraham, and have never been slaves to anyone. What do you mean by saying, ‘You will be made free.'?”He answered them, “Very truly I tell you, anyone who commits sin is a slave to sin. The slave does not have a permanent place in the household, but the son has a place there forever. So, if the son makes you free, you will be free indeed.” Did you hear the breaking news this week about King Charles praying with Pope Leo in the Sistine Chapel on Thursday? It was breaking news because a Pope hadn't shared space in worship with an English monarch since Henry VIII broke up with Rome in 1534 because, among other things, the Pope at the time refused to annul Henry's first marriage to Catherine of Aragon.Anyway, on Thursday, King Charles, who's considered the supreme governor of the Church of England, sat near the altar in the Vatican as Pope Leo led worship that included two English royal choirs sharing space and song with the Sistine Chapel Choir. It was apparently, quite an occasion.The fact that this was “breaking news” at all – in light of everything else going on in the world these days – was as fantastic as it was frustrating for me to hear in the week leading up to Reformation Sunday, which I never heard mentioned, by the way.For one thing, it's a good reminder that Martin Luther never meant for his beef with the Roman Catholic Church to split or divide or start new denominations of Christianity. Luther's hope was to merely, but profoundly, change – to REFORM – the church he loved by expanding the way it practiced, proclaimed, and promised God's grace to believers. It's good to know that 508 years later, some the Pope and the King seem to be getting on board. Fantastic.But it's frustrating, too, because, if I weren't a believer – let alone a Lutheran-flavored believer – I'd wonder what the heck was up with those Christians?They believe in this Jesus who gave his life for the sake of the world, but it's breaking-freaking news when two of his followers share space in worship? They preach a Gospel of grace, but they disagree about who's allowed to receive it at the communion table? They say we're all God's children, but they have different sets of rules about which men or women are allowed to preach that Good News – or not? They say and sing “they will know we are Christians by our love” but they police that love when marriage isn't “traditional?” All of this is to say, things haven't changed much – and certainly not enough – since that day Jesus reminded some of the Jews who believed in him about what it meant to be slaves to sin. The willful ignorance or spiritual amnesia evident in their response to him is shocking – “We're descendants of Abraham and have never been slaves to anyone…”Their Jewish identity as descendants of Abraham … and Isaac … and Jacob … and MOSES, too, was wrapped up in, and very much defined, by their historical slavery in Egypt, under Pharaoh. Sure maybe THEY, THEMSELVES, generations later, had never been slaves in the same way. But for them to forget about or to deny that piece of their history and – even more – to deny the freedom that was also theirs because of God's deliverance, was part of Jesus' point.If it was that easy for them to forget or to deny the historical status of their ancestors as enslaved people, how easy was it for them to forget or to deny their own spiritual enslavement to the sin Jesus came to redeem? And, are we the same … or better … or any different?On days like today – and very often as progressively Lutheran-flavored people on the planet – we like to see ourselves as being on the right side of history, as ones who “get it,” as the faithful ones who do grace with no strings attached, in ways others don't. And I think that's true a lot of the time, when we get it right.But when we get too comfortable in that skin… when we blow our own proverbial horn too proudly… when we forget to look in the mirror and to the cross every now and then… we risk forgetting – like our ancestors in this morning's Gospel – that, just like everybody else, we are slaves to sin, and need to be set free by the same mercy, grace, and love we know in Jesus.This is Martin Luther's understanding of grace that the Reformation set loose in the world … that we are all sinners, all beggars, all broken, all in need of forgiveness and redemption … in order to experience the fullness of life on this side of heaven and the next. But too many haven't heard this good news. Too many deny the fullness of it for all people. And too many refuse to accept it for themselves and to share it quite so fully with others.President Trump seems to be wrestling with a spiritual, existential crisis of sorts these days. More than once, recently, I've seen him imply that he's not sure he's getting into heaven. I've heard him ask reporters if they thought he was getting into heaven. I'm aware of what a lot of people might say, or desire, or even pray for in that regard. But I think Jesus would say, simply, “If the Son makes you free, you will be free, indeed.” Free from the sins you think will keep you from heaven. Free from the Sin that keeps you bound by fear and concern, right where you live. And free from the sins so many believe to be insurmountable and unforgiveable.I had a couple of conversations this week about whether someone who dies by suicide is worthy of God's heaven. Someone I care a great deal about was curious and concerned about a friend. Another person I know is sure that suicide is an unforgiveable sin. I'm certain Jesus would say, “If the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.” Free – on this side of heaven – not to be bound or afraid or ashamed or enslaved – outside of clinical depression, of course – by whatever might tempt a person to such a fate. And free – on the other side of eternity, too – if all else fails – free to be redeemed, saved, and showered with a love you couldn't find or feel on this side of it all.And I'm convinced, if we could embrace and buy the good news of this kind of grace – in all of its fullness for all of God's people – our concerns and conversations could change the world. I mean, if we could see in all people the common ground we share where our sinfulness is concerned – EVERYONE WHO COMMITS SIN IS A SLAVE TO SIN, remember – then we would live and move and breathe and support policy and promote laws and do justice and share the Gospel and do God's bidding – with more of a WE and US mission, than a THEY and THEM mentality.And if we could see in all people the common ground we share where our promised redemption is concerned – IF THE SON SETS YOU FREE, YOU WILL BE FREE INDEED (yes, you and him and her and them, too) – than we might live with such astonishment and so much gratitude at the abundance of this gift, that we would live more generosity, more humility, more selflessness, more of the same kind of grace that has first been given to us. And wouldn't that be a change, a transformation, a reformation the world could use right about now?As part of the festivities at the Vatican last week, King Charles was gifted a special chair – for him to use during his visit and that will be reserved for use only by British monarchs in the future. It's decorated with the king's coat of arms and a phrase in Latin which means, “That they may be one,” which is a lovely gesture of hospitality, welcome, and Christian unity.May we all imagine – not just popes and kings – but ourselves and each other – our neighbors and the strangers who surround us – sinners, all – sharing such a seat of welcome, hospitality, mercy, and forgiveness.And may that change us for the better, change us for the sake of the world, and transform us into the saints God calls each of us to be in response to the savior we know in Jesus – the Son who has a permanent place in the household, who sets the table for the sake of the world, and who saves us all a seat, by way of his amazing grace.Amen

Hoy por Hoy Zaragoza y el Rastrillo Aragon (24/10/25)

Carmelo Jordá y Kelu Robles nos llevan a destinos marcados por la tranquilidad, el silencio y la posibilidad de desconectar del ajetreo del día a día. El capítulo de esta semana de El placer de viajar nos lleva a dos destinos muy lejanos pero que tienen algo importante en común: ser esencialmente lugares solitarios. El primer está en buena medida en eso que se ha dado en llamar la España vacía: la Ruta del Silencio que está en la provincia de Teruel, pero que en el programa se expande para completar un viaje de tres días. Y el segundo destino es el Cabo Polonio, en Uruguay, un paraíso natural de curioso nombre que, tal y como se cuenta al inicio del episodio no tiene nada que ver con el peligroso mineral, sino que está vinculado al naufragio, en 1753, de un barco cuyo capitán se llamaba Joseph Pollony.. Isaac Vizcaíno, el experto en viajes en moto de esRadio, es quién nos narra su versión de la Ruta del Silencio, en realidad un tramo de sólo 63 km en el Maestrazgo y la Sierra de Arcos, ideal para recorrer en moto, aunque también apta para otros vehículos. Isaac ha expandido el viaje para crear una ruta de tres días desde Madrid, que incluye parada en Calatayud, visitas al Cañón del Río Mesa y al Monasterio de Piedra, y también pasa por la capital de Teruel, destacando su belleza y ambiente, así como su tesoro mudéjar. La ruta, tranquila y pintoresca, es muy recomendable en primavera u otoño, atravesando paisajes verdes y con escaso tráfico. La hospitalidad de la gente local es uno de sus grandes atractivos, y se aconseja visitar también Albarracín en el regreso.El Cabo Polonio En al segunda parte del podcast es Kelu Robles la que nos lleva al Cabo Polonio, un destino de desconexión radical en el que se vive incluso sin tendido eléctrico y, por tanto, sin cobertura móvil. Todo es peculiar en Cabo Polonio ya desde el primer momento: se accede en un singular camión 4x4 o a pie a través de dunas. El paisaje incluye un faro histórico –el único lugar con electricidad–, dos extensas playas y una pequeña cala. Los alojamientos son sencillas cabañas de pescadores que mantienen su estética original. Además del paisaje y de ese insólito aislamiento, el atractivo principal del lugar es la reserva de lobos marinos que se asienta en la zona y que, acostumbrados a la presencia de los humanos, se dejan ver y fotografía desde unos pocos metros. Otro momento especial son, por supuesto, esas noches sin electricidad en las que hay que iluminarse con velas y en las que la única luz constante es la del faro, que pasa cada doce segundos, creando un ambiente mágico bajo el cielo estrellado. Por supuesto, la vida en un lugar así es peculiar y descubrirla es una parte muy importante del viaje: hay que visitar el supermercado rudimentario y disfrutar de la posibilidad de comprar pescado fresco directamente a los pescadores que viven en la zona. Un dato curioso es que los lugareños votaron a favor de mantener la desconexión eléctrica, valorando la autenticidad del lugar sobre la comodidad.Un hotel Finalmente, en el espacio dedicado a los hoteles en este episodio se presenta una propuesta de lujo en la capital de Tailandia: el hotel Dusit D2 Samyan en Bangkok. Este hotel, inaugurado en 2023, ofrece una experiencia de alta gama con un edificio de 25 plantas. Las habitaciones cuentan con ventanales que ofrecen vistas impresionantes del skyline de la ciudad. El hotel dispone de una espectacular piscina infinita en la planta 16 con vistas panorámicas, y un desayuno buffet muy variado que incluye una extensa oferta asiática y tailandesa, todo a un precio accesible para un hotel de su categoría.

On today's program, we're talking to Columbus Community School District Activities Director Michael Aragon about the post-renovation debut of the school's football field.

Before Henry VIII, there was another heir. Prince Arthur Tudor, Prince of Wales, married to Katharine of Aragon, and dead at fifteen. In this interview, Gareth Streeter (author of Arthur, Prince of Wales: Henry VIII's Lost Brother and founder of Royal History Geeks) explores the prince's real life beyond the footnotes. We discuss: - Why Arthur, not Henry, was central to Henry VII's vision & propaganda - Reconstructing the Arthur–Katharine marriage - The big one: consummation, weighing contemporary evidence vs later “Great Matter” claims - Education, character & the king Arthur might have become - Illness and cause of death: what we know, what remains mystery - Gareth's research process, sources that changed his mind, and advice for new history writers Find Gareth & the book: Arthur, Prince of Wales: Henry VIII's Lost Brother - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Arthur-Prince-Wales-Henry-Brother-ebook/dp/B0C6NLT7NJ/, https://www.amazon.com/Arthur-Prince-Wales-Henry-Brother-ebook/dp/B0C6NLT7NJ/ Royal History Geeks - https://www.royalhistorygeeks.com/ If you enjoy deep dives into Tudor history, please like, subscribe, and tell us in the comments: What kind of king do you think Arthur would have been, and why? #ArthurTudor #PrinceOfWales #TudorHistory #HenryVII #KatharineOfAragon #WarsOfTheRoses #GarethStreeter #HistoryInterview

En Aragón DJ's seguimos demostrando, semana tras semana, que en nuestra tierra hay talento de sobra. Y hoy traemos un caso que lo confirma con letras mayúsculas: los Cence Brothers, los hermanos Pablo y Alex Cencerrado, que este verano han llevado el nombre de Aragón y Alcañiz hasta el festival más importante del mundo: Tomorrowland. En este episodio, grabado desde el precioso taller floral La Fleur de L'Homme en Zaragoza —un espacio donde las flores y la música electrónica se fusionan con alma berlinesa—, conocemos la historia de cómo estos dos jóvenes aragoneses consiguieron cumplir un sueño que parecía imposible y hacemos nuestro particular homenaje floral en el día del Pilar a la Virgen. Nos cuentan cómo recibieron la llamada, cómo prepararon su sesión, qué se siente al compartir cartel con gigantes como Martin Garrix o David Guetta, y cómo vivieron ese momento en el escenario de Tomorrowland... Además, descubrimos la importancia de sus producciones, su relación con la DJ B Jones, y lo que viene después de un hito así. Y atención, porque en este episodio estrenamos en primicia una sesión exclusiva con material inédito de los Cence Brothers. Prepárate para cerrar los ojos y viajar a Bélgica sin moverte de casa.

King James II of Aragon and Sicily attempts to hold on to both his crowns in the face of insurmountable difficulties. 

Imperial ambassador Eustace Chapuys spent nearly two decades at Henry VIII's court, recording the gossip, arguments, and scandals that defined the Tudor age. Fiercely loyal to Catherine of Aragon and Princess Mary, and famously hostile to Anne Boleyn, his letters give us some of the most vivid snapshots of Henry's reign.Plus, a Tudorcon recap (the first of what will be many, I'm sure!) Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

En este episodio especial de Aragón DJs en Aragón Radio nos trasladamos a la sala Supernova para hablar de una fiesta que está marcando a toda una generación: La Noche 1990-2010. Un reencuentro mágico con los DJs y locales que definieron la escena zaragozana durante dos décadas inolvidables, y que ahora vuelven a unir fuerzas en un evento que lo está revolucionando todo. Charlamos con protagonistas de lujo: Santiago Mármol, Iván Martínez, Igor Acedo (responsable de Supernova) y el mítico Santi B, el DJ que marcó a toda una generación. Juntos recordamos aquellos años donde la música era oro puro, los vinilos se compartían como tesoros y las pistas de baile eran auténticos templos de cultura y diversión. Un programa lleno de recuerdos, comparativas con la escena actual, anécdotas divertidas, reflexiones sobre cómo ha cambiado el ocio nocturno y una mirada hacia el futuro de estas fiestas que ya son un fenómeno en Zaragoza.

Dejamos Talayuelas y Cuenca detrás y vamos a hacerle el rodaje al 131 supermirafiori para conducir hacia el noreste casi dos horas y media para llegar a un pueblo que está dentro de la provincia que arquetípicamente más ejemplifica lo barbaciado. Llegamos a la provincia de Teruel y al municipio de Puertomingalvo. Este municipio cuenta con 141 habitantes y está a 1456 metros de altitud. Yo he estado allí, y hace taco de frío. Su gentilicio parece un nombre de pila antiguo: Puertomingalvino y Puertomingalvina. Geográficamente está situado en la sierra del Maestrazgo, en la comarca de Gudar-Javalambre. dos nombres claramente inventados. Hay vestigios, gran palabra, de poblaciones íberas ya habitando la zona, y más tarde llegaron los romanos ¿qué han hecho por nosotros los romanos?...pues se ve que allí una necrópolis y poco más. Más tarde llegan los musulmanes, y gracias a ellos se tienen las primeras referencias escritas. A mi me gusta pensar que era una pintada que ponía “Mohamed el que lo lea”. Pero eso solo pasa en mi imaginación. Etimologicamente parece que el nombre proviene de “puerto” por estar situado en una zona estratégica entre montañas, y Mingalvo, que pare provenir del caballero musulman Ben Galvón. De hecho se dice que este caballero fue un aliado en las peripecias del Cid Campeador. Se reconquista en 1181, y se estableció como villa en 1202. En el siglo XIX toda la zona estuvo involucrada en las guerras carlistas, siendo toda l azona del Maestrazgo un gran bastión carlista. En 1982 fue declarado Bien de Interés Cultural, y está dentro de los llamados pueblos más bonitos de España, la mayor estafa turística de este país. A mi me gusta añadir como parte de su historia que en 2002 fue subcampeón del Gran Prix de Verano, cuando el Gran prix le gustaba a Mariló Montero porque se soltaba una vaquilla. En cuanto a su patrimonio son un gran ejemplo del llamado Gótico Aragonés, y pasear por sus calles es una delicia. Destacan la Casa de la Villa, realizada en sillería con sus arcos de medio punto, y todo rematado con un alero de madera. Yo que he estado allí decir que lo que más llamaba la atención eran los blasones esculpidos en piedra en casi todas las casa, y esos alerones de madera que recorrían toda la casa. Muy importante es su castillo, que llegó a estar prácticamente en ruinas, pero que está totalmente recuperado, asi como todo el recinto amurallado del municipio. En sus alrededores estaban pueblos también pintorescos como Mosqueruela, Iglesuela del Cid, Linares de Mora, y los dos mejores, Rubielos de Mora y Mora de Rubielos. En cuanto a las fiestas, el sábado más próximo al 17 de enero, se celebra San Antonio con su tradicional tranza, subasta popular o rifa comunitaria, donde los vecinos del pueblo ofrecen productos caseros, alimentos, objetos artesanales o incluso animales, que luego se sortean o subastan entre los asistentes. Esta actividad tiene un carácter solidario y comunitario, ya que lo recaudado suele destinarse a fines sociales o a la organización de futuras fiestas del pueblo. Como les gusta lo del sábado más próximo a una fecha, el sábado más próximo al 11 de junio se celebra San Bernabé.

As the daughter of Henry the Eighth and Catherine of Aragon, Mary Tudor was a committed Catholic who tried to turn the clock back on England's religious reformation during her reign. 

Aitziber Lanza, directora general de Calidad y Seguridad Alimentaria del Gobierno de Aragón, mantenía esta mañana una reunión con representantes del sector avícola aragonés con el objetivo de actualizar las medidas de prevención y protocolos de actuación frente a la gripe aviar. La CHE cierra el año hidrológico. Miguel García Vera, jefe de planificación de la CHE, ha destacado que 2024 cierra como un buen año hidrológico. La DO Aceite del Bajo Aragón celebra 25 años con una cosecha que espera alcanzar los 8 millones de litros.

Margaret Pole Part II: Countess of Salisbury, Catherine of Aragon's Bestie & Mary Tudor's Mentor In this episode, we track Margaret from a broke widow and Catherine of Aragon's confidante to a savvy court operator who's made a Countess in her own right. But, this is the Tudor era so something wild is always lurking right around the corner. We're talking messy divorce scandals, treasonous dukes and just a whole lot of drama. Listen for: Wars of the Roses fallout, early King Henry VIII of England vibes (pre–axe era), Queen Mary Tudor's childhood, sweating sickness, and how one woman's patronage and grit shaped a future queen.

On today's WorldSBK show we'll review the action from the Aragon Round of WorldSBK where the wins were split but the action was intense! Toprak Razgatlioglu and Nicolo Bulega have been the story of the season but what do Steve and Gordo think of their title battle? Is it exciting or inevitable? Both of our Paddock Insiders weight in on the topic while also looking forward to future regulations and whether this weekend showed us the impact of harder tyres on the series. Having made his full-time debut in at Kyalami in 1999 this weekend also marked Gordo's 750th WorldSBK race start. It's a great achievement and one that the paddock were keen to mark. Alex Lowes called Gordo a "legend" for all that he's achieved while Gordo questioned Steve's sanity to have taken the time to count up his starts! On Sunday the debriefs Jonathan Rea and Lowes handed Gordo a replica helmet signed by the grid to mark the occassion and the Scotsman was, for the first time, lost for words!

Young King Alfonso III of Aragon faces existential threats to his rule as he attempts to hold onto his crown.

Game of Thrones may have wrapped up on that streaming site, but for the Tudor-obsessed, it really never ends. Which brings Alicia to the run-up to the year 1553. King Henry VIII has been succeeded by his son with Jane Seymour, King Edward VI. Having taken the throne at the tender age of nine, the battle among the court's more ruthless players for a regent-like role is intense; the Seymour brothers, Edward and Thomas, and John Dudley, Duke of Northumberland, are constantly scheming against each other to advance their ambitions, which is all well and good until it becomes clear that the young King is not long for the world. This presents a world of trouble for the now-Protestant English court, because the next logical successor is Henry VIII's first daughter, Mary, an avowed and unrepentant Catholic like her mother, Catherine of Aragon. Desperate to head off her ascension, the Privy Counsel and King Edward (probably) revise the 15-year-old's last will and testament to put the throne in the hands of a Protestant cousin, Lady Jane Grey - by then the daughter-in-law of John Dudley. But England's Catholic population, sensing an opportunity to regain the status they lost when Henry VIII broke with The Vatican, isn't going to take the snub gracefully. But that's a story for Part Two. Listen ad-free at patreon.com/trashyroyalspodcast. To advertise on this podcast, reach out to info@amplitudemediapartners.com. Learn more about your ad choices.

Friends of the Rosary,Historically, today, September 25, is the commemoration of Our Lady of Ransom. The Blessed Virgin appeared in separate visions to St. Peter Nolasco, St. Raymond of Penafort, and James, King of Aragon, in 1218, asking them to found a religious order dedicated to freeing Christian captives from the barbarous Saracens, also known as Moors, who at the time held a significant part of Spain.On August 10, 1218, King James established the royal, military, and religious Order of our Lady of Ransom, first known as the Order of St. Eulalia, now known as the Mercedarian Order, with most of the members being knights. Many became heroes of charity who collected alms for the ransom of Christians, and often gave themselves up in exchange for Christian prisoners.This feast was extended to the whole Church by Innocent XII in the 17th century.Additionally, in England today, the Feast of Our Lady of Walsingham is observed. In 1061, the lady of the manor of Walsingham, Richeldis de Faverches, was instructed by a vision of the Virgin Mary to build in her village an exact replica of the house in Nazareth in which the Annunciation had taken place.The original house was destroyed by Henry VIII, but by 1897, the chapel had been reconstructed, and pilgrimage was restored for both Anglicans and Catholics.On March 29, 2020, England was rededicated as the “Dowry of Mary,” with Our Lady of Walsingham being the central Marian devotion around the rededication.Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

16 And one of the multitude, answering, said: Master, I have brought my son to thee, having a dumb spirit.Et respondens unus de turba, dixit : Magister, attuli filium meum ad te habentem spiritum mutum : 17 Who, wheresoever he taketh him, dasheth him, and he foameth, and gnasheth with the teeth, and pineth away; and I spoke to thy disciples to cast him out, and they could not.qui ubicumque eum apprehenderit, allidit illum, et spumat, et stridet dentibus, et arescit : et dixi discipulis tuis ut ejicerent illum, et non potuerunt. 18 Who answering them, said: O incredulous generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me.Qui respondens eis, dixit : O generatio incredula, quamdiu apud vos ero? quamdiu vos patiar? afferte illum ad me. 19 And they brought him. And when he had seen him, immediately the spirit troubled him; and being thrown down upon the ground, he rolled about foaming.Et attulerunt eum. Et cum vidisset eum, statim spiritus conturbavit illum : et elisus in terram, volutabatur spumans. 20 And he asked his father: How long time is it since this hath happened unto him? But he said: From his infancy:Et interrogavit patrem ejus : Quantum temporis est ex quo ei hoc accidit? At ille ait : Ab infantia : 21 And oftentimes hath he cast him into the fire and into waters to destroy him. But if thou canst do any thing, help us, having compassion on us.et frequenter eum in ignem, et in aquas misit ut eum perderet : sed si quid potes, adjuva nos, misertus nostri. 22 And Jesus saith to him: If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.Jesus autem ait illi : Si potes credere, omnia possibilia sunt credenti. 23 And immediately the father of the boy crying out, with tears said: I do believe, Lord: help my unbelief.Et continuo exclamans pater pueri, cum lacrimis aiebat : Credo, Domine; adjuva incredulitatem meam. 24 And when Jesus saw the multitude running together, he threatened the unclean spirit, saying to him: Deaf and dumb spirit, I command thee, go out of him; and enter not any more into him.Et cum videret Jesus concurrentem turbam, comminatus est spiritui immundo, dicens illi : Surde et mute spiritus, ego praecipio tibi, exi ab eo : et amplius ne introeas in eum. 25 And crying out, and greatly tearing him, he went out of him, and he became as dead, so that many said: He is dead.Et exclamans, et multum discerpens eum, exiit ab eo, et factus est sicut mortuus, ita ut multi dicerent : Quia mortuus est. 26 But Jesus taking him by the hand, lifted him up; and he arose.Jesus autem tenens manum ejus elevavit eum, et surrexit. 27 And when he was come into the house, his disciples secretly asked him: Why could not we cast him out?Et cum introisset in domum, discipuli ejus secreto interrogabant eum : Quare nos non potuimus ejicere eum? 28 And he said to them: This kind can go out by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.Et dixit illis : Hoc genus in nullo potest exire, nisi in oratione et jejunioThe September Ember Days are found in the Roman Missal after the seventeenth Sunday after Pentecost. At the present time, they fall always after the third Sunday in September. (Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross). This date nearly coincides with the end of summer, which for the ancients was the 12th of September, and with the opening of autumn on September 13th. The Ember Days of winter, spring and summer do not coincide so exactly with the beginning of the respective seasons. The Blessed Virgin Mary by repeated visions inspired St Peter Nolasco and St Raymond of Pennafort to found with the aid of King James of Aragon the Order of Our Lady of Ransom for the redemption of Christian captives from the infidels. The Church commorates today this incomparable work of charity.

Long before she was Queen Mary I, or more infamously to her detractors as Bloody Mary, there was a young girl, born a princess, the first born child of King Henry VIII to reach adulthood, Mary, by his first with, Katherine of Aragon, so what was Mary's young life like? Who was involved in her christening, spoiler, what were the many marriage prospects created, and did she ever blame her father rather than Anne Boleyn for what befell her? Well to discuss all of this and much more I am pleased to welcome back Dr Peter Stiffell onto the podcast for a discussion all about his favourite figure from history!

What if Prince Arthur, Henry VIII's elder brother, had survived? In this special interview, I sit down with novelist Leah Toole to talk about her fascinating book "The Rose and The Pomegranate" — an alternative history novel that asks one of Tudor history's biggest “what ifs.” In Leah's world, Arthur Tudor doesn't die in 1502 — and the ripple effects are enormous. Katherine of Aragon's destiny changes, Henry VIII's life takes a very different course, and familiar figures like the Boleyns, Wolsey, and Cromwell walk entirely new paths. In this conversation we explore: - Why Arthur Tudor and this “what if”? - How Leah balanced historical accuracy with imagination. - Arthur and Katherine's marriage — and how it might have unfolded. - A reimagined Henry VIII without the six wives we know so well. - Which events Leah chose to keep… and which to reshape. - How a single turning point could have reshaped England, Europe, and the Church. It's a thoughtful, imaginative, and meticulously researched take on Tudor history that fans won't want to miss!

Full Text of ReadingsMonday of the Twentieth Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 419The Saint of the day is Saint Louis of ToulouseSaint Louis of Toulouse’s Story When he died at the age of 23, Louis was already a Franciscan, a bishop, and a saint! Louis's parents were Charles II of Naples and Sicily, and Mary, daughter of the King of Hungary. Louis was related to Saint Louis IX on his father's side and to Elizabeth of Hungary on his mother's side. Louis showed early signs of attachment to prayer and to the corporal works of mercy. As a child he used to take food from the castle to feed the poor. When he was 14, Louis and two of his brothers were taken as hostages to the king of Aragon's court as part of a political deal involving Louis's father. At the court, Louis was tutored by Franciscan friars under whom he made great progress both in his studies and in the spiritual life. Like Saint Francis he developed a special love for those afflicted with leprosy. While he was still a hostage, Louis decided to renounce his royal title and become a priest. When he was 20, he was allowed to leave the king of Aragon's court. He renounced his title in favor of his brother Robert and was ordained the next year. Very shortly after, he was appointed bishop of Toulouse, but the pope agreed to Louis's request to become a Franciscan first. The Franciscan spirit pervaded Louis. “Jesus Christ is all my riches; he alone is sufficient for me,” Louis kept repeating. Even as a bishop he wore the Franciscan habit and sometimes begged. He assigned a friar to offer him correction—in public if necessary—and the friar did his job. Louis's service to the Diocese of Toulouse was richly blessed. In no time he was considered a saint. Louis set aside 75 percent of his income as bishop to feed the poor and maintain churches. Each day he fed 25 poor people at his table. Louis was canonized in 1317 by Pope John XXII, one of his former teachers. His liturgical feast is celebrated on August 19. Reflection When Cardinal Hugolino, the future Pope Gregory IX, suggested to Francis that some of the friars would make fine bishops, Francis protested that they might lose some of their humility and simplicity if appointed to those positions. Those two virtues are needed everywhere in the Church, and Louis shows us how they can be lived out by bishops. Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media
