    Fr. Mike reflects on how Isaiah's prophecies in chapters 49-50 point to the immediate reality of God's promise of redemption for Israel, as well as to the distant reality of Jesus Christ as the Messiah. In our reading of Ezekiel, we also learn how the glory of God departed from the temple, and how God's presence is often hidden from us as well. Today's readings are Isaiah 49-50, Ezekiel 10-11, and Proverbs 12:17-20. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.

    Fr. Mike touches upon the prophecy of judgment against Babylon and Israel, and how God still promises to be Israel's redeemer despite their disobedience. We also read about Ezekiel's vision of the temple and how the markings on the foreheads of the Israelites symbolizes the mourning of true worship, and also foreshadows Jesus' death on the Cross.

    Patrick brings listeners through childhood Beatles memories, uncanny coincidences, and the ripple effects music has on family life while fielding questions about Catholic prayer, door-to-door missionaries, and engaging stories of faith discovery. Stories move quickly from John Lennon collectibles and quirky mobile ads to practical apologetics and lively advice about handling unexpected guests intent on conversion.

    Fr. Mike highlights the works of King Cyrus, who we met yesterday, and how he is able to contribute to the will of God without actually knowing him. Cyrus not only shows us that no soul is ever too far for God's grace, but that God makes all things new, and is able to bring beautiful blessings from the most desperate situations.

(29:11) Patrick shares more bible versus in response to God being outside of time (39:23) Mark - I agree and have trouble with bad language. Can it be good in story telling for adults?

Send us a text by clicking this link!This episode dives deep into a controversial topic that's increasingly dividing Catholic circles: Is it acceptable to criticize post-conciliar popes? We examine how modern Church leaders often seem reluctant to boldly proclaim traditional Catholic teachings, instead offering apologies for historical Church actions like the Crusades and Inquisition.The cultural divide between cradle Catholics and converts becomes evident as we discuss how differently they perceive papal criticism. Many who entered the Church under Pope Francis's pontificate struggle with the concept that one can question certain papal statements while remaining faithful to the Church herself. This dynamic creates fascinating tensions in how Catholics understand their relationship with Church authority.Between theological discussions, we explore broader cultural phenomena that reflect similar themes of institutional weakness. From a woman wanting to divorce her "perfect" husband because she "can't find herself," to fitness influencer Joey Swoll's groveling apology for commemorating Hulk Hogan, we witness how quickly people abandon reasonable positions when faced with criticism or emotional discomfort.Whether examining Cardinal Tagle leading jean-clad influencers in prayer at the Vatican or the differences between traditional and progressive Catholic approaches, this episode provides a thoughtful, nuanced exploration of how to remain faithful while engaging critically with Church leadership. Join us as we navigate the delicate balance between respectful obedience and necessary critique in today's complex Catholic landscape.Support the showSponsored by Recusant Cellars, an unapologetically Catholic and pro-life winery from Washington state.

    Fr. Mike emphasizes our title as children of God as we read about the tragedy of the Babylonian exile. Even in our lowest moments, God wants us to know that he has called us each by name and has called us his, because a good Father does not abandon his children.

    Today, we're doing a deep dive into Catholic and Protestant views on Mary. We break down the four Catholic dogmas — mother of God, Immaculate Conception, perpetual virginity, and Assumption — explaining their traditional foundations. We contrast these with Protestant beliefs, rooted in sola scriptura, viewing Mary as a faithful, humble servant without divine status. Did Mary have children after Jesus, and was she assumed into heaven? We take a look at these questions and more. Share the Arrows 2025 is on October 11 in Dallas, Texas!

    Greg Smith responds to a listener's email expressing shock at perceived anti-Semitism in Catholic online spaces. He clarifies the Catholic Church's official teachings on Judaism and the State of Israel, emphasizing respect, shared roots, and a balanced call for peace amid the ongoing Gaza conflict. Greg distinguishes between binding doctrines on faith and morals versus prudential political judgments, critiques inconsistencies in how some Catholics approach these issues, and draws lessons from St. Augustine's City of God for navigating earthly complexities. He also contrasts Catholic nuance with Protestant evangelical affinities for Israel, reassuring converts that the Church rejects all prejudice.

The signs are unmistakable – devalued currency, collapsing birthrates, cultural decay, and the fading remnants of once-Christian institutions. But what does this mean for faithful Catholics trying to navigate these turbulent times?Theo Howard of the Two Cities podcast joins us for a profound conversation about the coming collapse of Western civilization and the Catholic response. Rather than another doomer analysis, this discussion offers a roadmap for hope and renewal through what Howard calls "the Little Way of Christendom" – building parallel structures that can weather the storm while preserving authentic faith.We explore how the modern world isn't merely post-Christian but apostate – having received divine grace and deliberately rejected it – making our sins far more grievous than those of pre-Christian pagans. Howard compellingly argues that we're living through the Passion of the Church, a mysterious parallel to Christ's own suffering that will ultimately lead to resurrection.The conversation takes us through the failures of political solutions, including the false promise of electoral politics that functions as a "counterfeit liturgical calendar," distracting Catholics from living according to the Church's authentic rhythms. We examine how COVID served as a warning and test of faith, separating those willing to sacrifice for principle from those who surrendered for convenience.Most importantly, we discuss practical steps for building resilient Catholic communities – from agriculture to education to economic networks – that can function outside corrupted systems. This isn't about withdrawal but about creating the seeds of a renewed Christendom that will flourish after the inevitable chastisement runs its course.For anyone concerned about the future of faith and civilization, this conversation offers not just analysis but a genuinely Catholic path forward.

    Messy Family Podcast : Catholic conversations on marriage and family

    “The two great commandments name the three loves – loving God, loving neighbor, and loving yourself. All three loves are necessary and central to our Faith.  All three.” - Dr. Peter Malinowski   Summary How can I learn to truly love my family?  The reality is that the degree to which you love yourself will be the maximum that you can love your family.  Ordered self-love is not an optional thing – it's essential.  This is especially true for spouses and parents because their love is tied intimately to the full flourishing of others, namely, their children!  We are made in God's image and likeness, which means that, like the Trinity, we are constantly in relationship with others and even with ourselves.  Learning to love ourselves directly affects how well we can love others.  Listen in for advice from Dr. Peter Malinowski, Catholic psychologist and teacher in the field of therapy using Internal Family Systems.  This podcast is essential to learn how to love your spouse and children well, by first learning to love yourself.     Key Takeaways We are made in the image and likeness of God, which means that like the Trinity, we have the capacity for relationship within ourselves. The primary human relationship that we have is with ourselves, then others.  90% of conflicts with your spouse are a reaction to unresolved issues from the past, not what is happening in the present.   The “innermost self” is the core of the person, who we really are.  Our “parts” are small personalities inside of us who battle within us.    Couple Discussion Questions How can you begin to see each other the way that God sees you?  Think about a conflict you had recently.  Ask your spouse, “Tell be about why you felt the way you did.” and be open to learning more.    Resources To find a therapist:  www.soulsandhearts.com/therapists Interior Integration for Catholics podcast:  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/interior-integration-for-catholics/id1503898046 Epidode 157 to 159 for an overview of IFS To learn more: https://www.soulsandhearts.com/

This isn't just ancient history—it's the story we're still living today.Discover how the early Church Fathers understood prophecy unfolding before their eyes as pagan temples fell and Christian altars rose across the empire. Learn why St. Thomas Aquinas identified "obedience to the Roman Church" as the mysterious restrainer mentioned in Scripture, and why this matters for our current moment.The conversation ventures into fascinating territory as Joshua addresses the recurring biblical motif of older and younger brothers—from Cain and Abel to Judaism and Christianity—and how this ancient rivalry appears headed toward an eschatological climax. What role will each "brother" play in the end times? The answers might surprise you.For those feeling anxious about world events, Joshua offers a perspective that's both sobering and hopeful: "When things appear worst here on earth, they're actually getting closer to the greatest triumph of all time." This understanding helps Catholics maintain peace amid turmoil, focusing on loving those directly before us rather than being consumed by distant events beyond our control.Support Eternal Christendom's mission of making the Church Fathers accessible to all at eternalchristendom.com, where over 1.3 million words of Catholic wisdom await you completely free.Support the showSponsored by Recusant Cellars, an unapologetically Catholic and pro-life winery from Washington state.

Bishop Schneider relates that faith, moral life, pastoral and clerical life, and the sacred liturgy are all under withering attack, including from within the Church. But don't lose heart! His Excellency urges believers to unite in imploring Our Lady to intercede for a new era of saintly popes and holy leadership to safeguard, renew, and uplift the Faith. Inspired by the victories wrought through fervent faith and the recitation of the Rosary, such as during the legendary Battle of Lepanto, these reflections illustrate how Marian devotion has the power to restore the Body of Christ — the Holy Catholic Church — and foster holiness in her members.

    Full Text of ReadingsSeventeenth Sunday in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 111The Saint of the day is Saint Titus BrandsmaSaint Titus Brandsma's Story Given the birth name Anno, Brandsma and his siblings grew up on their parents' dairy farm in rural Frisia. As devout Catholics, the family was in the minority among their Calvinist neighbors. From age 11 Anno was educated at a preparatory school for boys who were studying for the priesthood. He joined the Carmelite novitiate in 1898, taking the name Titus in honor of his father. In the years following his 1905 ordination, Brandsma received a doctorate in philosophy and initiated a project to translate the works of Saint Teresa of Avila into Dutch. One of the founders of the Catholic University of Nijmegen, he served as a professor of philosophy and the history of mysticism at the school. While there Brandsma was known more for his availability to faculty and students than for his academic achievements. Working as a journalist Brandsma served as ecclesiastical advisor to Catholic journalists. His long-standing opposition to Nazi ideology came to the attention of the Nazis when they invaded the Netherlands in 1940. In direct opposition to the Third Reich, the Conference of Dutch Bishops sent a letter ordering Catholic newspaper editors not to print Nazi propaganda. Fr. Brandsma was arrested while hand delivering the letter in January 1942. After being imprisoned in several other facilities, in June he was taken to the Dachau camp in Germany. During his brief time at Dachau Fr. Brandsma was well-known for his kindness and spiritual support of other prisoners. His death on July 26, 1942 was a result of the Reich's program of medical experimentation on prisoners. He gave a wooden rosary to the nurse who administered the fatal injection; she later became Catholic and testified to his holiness. In recent years Brandsma has been honored by both the cities of Nijmegen and Dachau. Titus Brandsma was beatified in 1985, and canonized in 2022. Reflection Conscience often creates martyrs. That was the case for Titus Brandsma. Many people “go along to get along,” not realizing that by doing so they are destroying themselves internally. In his homily at the canonization Mass Pope Francis said, “Holiness does not consist of a few heroic gestures, but of many small acts of daily love.” Saint Titus Brandsma is a patron saint of: Catholic journalistsFrieslandInternational Union of Catholic EsperantistsTobacconists Read: Touched by Death, Healed by the Catholic Saints Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media
