Continuing our examination of the fifth commandment, we look at various ways in which one may sin against this commandment as it relates to homicide.

There is plenty puzzling about the doctrine of the resurrection, no matter which way you slice it. But it's extra puzzling if you prioritize the immortality of the soul over the resurrection of the body, and if you prioritize the resurrection of the body over the resurrection of the dead. In this episode Dad and I warmly invite Cappadocian father Gregory of Nyssa and his accomplished sister Macrina the Teacher to show us all the good impulses toward a doctrine of the resurrection, along with all the bad ways to defend it. Sometimes theology is best helped by bold mistakes! We're in our SEVENTH year! Show your support by becoming a Patron! 1. Gregory of Nyssa, On the Soul and Resurrection 2.

He clarifies that there is a crucial difference between discipline and destruction, and emphasizes that disciplining children should always be grounded in love and oriented towards their success in the future. Today's readings 1 Maccabees 12, Sirach 30-31, and Proverbs 23:13-16. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.

Is there ever a time where legitimate defense is justifiable? The Catechism answers this question and how it relates to honoring the dignity of the human person as we dive deeper into the fifth commandment. We learn about defense of ourselves and others, principles of crime and punishment, and capital punishment. Fr. Mike also explains the Church's current teaching on the death penalty and why it has changed over time. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 2263-2267.

As we continue our journey in 1 Maccabees, Fr. Mike explains that this book of the Bible is unlike others because it narrates stories and events without providing any interpretation. In Sirach, Fr. Mike stresses the teaching on the power of our words and the gravity of gossip and slander. Today's readings are 1 Maccabees 11, Sirach 28-29, and Proverbs 23:9-12.

We begin exploring the fifth commandment: “you shall not kill”. The Catechism reminds us that human life is sacred, and we must not take the life of another innocent human. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus takes this commandment even further as he calls us to avoid anger, hatred, and vengeance in addition to loving our enemies. By forgiving and extending to others the same love and mercy we are willing to extend to ourselves, we are respecting the dignity of that person. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 2258-2262.

We take a look at what the Catechism teaches about the Church in relation to political communities. Every institution has their own vision of what it means to be human, which shapes their policies. Because the Church knows the truth, that every person is made in the image and likeness of God, the Church must weigh in to ensure that the dignity of the human person is at the forefront of political decisions and policies.

While family is important, the Catechism states, “The first vocation of the Christian is to follow Jesus.” This means that parents should support Christ's call for their children. Fr. Mike explains that when we deny Jesus or his teachings for the sake of our families, we are making an idol of the family. We also learn the duties of civil authorities. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 2232-2237.

Fr. Mike explains the importance of wisdom in our everyday lives when we face temptations to gossip, encouraging us in the battle for virtue, wisdom, and goodness.

Being a parent is far more than just having kids. As the Catechism reminds us, the fruitfulness of married love extends to the moral and spiritual education of a couple's children.

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOMIn this episode, we finally dive into the writings of the Church Father who "red pilled" me on the Catholic Church while I was still a protestant: St. Ignatius of Antioch. He was ordained by the Apostles, and barely 70 years after Christ's Ascension wrote astoundingly Catholic things about: the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist, apostolic succession, the authority of the priesthood, the Christian altar, the necessity of unity, the greater authority of the Roman Church, and even the very name of the one true Church: the "Catholic Church."

Jesus Christ . . . has gone into heaven and is at God's right hand—with angels, authorities and powers in submission to him. — 1 Peter 3:21-22 Years ago, I attended an air show. A military jet flew low over the runway and then turned its nose skyward and flew straight up until the clouds hid it from sight! The sound of its engines faded when we could no longer see the jet. But we all knew it would come back! And it did. The disciples were gathered with Jesus when suddenly he rose up from the ground, and “a cloud hid him from their sight.” While the disciples were staring up intently, two angels assured them—and us—that this same Jesus would one day return in the same way. Where is Jesus now? He is seated at God's right hand, reigning over all creation. Before he left, Jesus promised his followers that he would send his Holy Spirit to be with them. In the power of the Spirit they would bring the good news of Jesus to the nations and teach people what it means to live as followers of the Lord. And one day he will return, and we will live with the Lord forever in a renewed creation! Right now, Jesus, in his resurrected human body, is in heaven, and in his divinity he fills the entire universe. As the King of kings and Lord of lords, he is building his kingdom, preparing for the day when he will return. Heavenly Father, we thank you for the joy, peace, and comfort we have in knowing that your Son, our Lord, is reigning over all creation. Help us to carry out the work you give us as loyal followers of Jesus. Amen.

High school teacher of 27 years, Carrie Daily of Ohio speaks of her spiritual journey and how it has altered her teaching style and relationships with students. We then go into cell phones/technology and teens in the classroom. In the state of Ohio, a huge shift in phone policy guidelines has occurred which starts statewide Jan 1, 2026. Carrie's school has already started implementing -- they chose to put phones away throughout the school day. Other states in 2025 who implement an all-out ban/restriction of cell phones during school hours, there are 18 states including GA, TN, AL, TX. There are 19 states with no phone policies. Carrie gets down and dirty on the massive suicides her school experienced, big tech, social media, data collection, the anxious generation, fear, rewiring, the robotic glaze of the students, AI, teacher burnout and more.

Fr. Mike illustrates the story of Eleazar and the abandonment of peace terms between the Jews and the Greeks. He also recognizes the pain that children and family members who don't follow the Lord can bring about, and uses wisdom from Sirach to address this prevalent struggle.

Gratitude is the proper response of children toward their parents. Out of this gratitude comes respect. When we are children at home, this respect includes “true docility and obedience.” Fr. Mike emphasizes respect for parents doesn't expire when we leave home as adults. Grown children are responsible for caring for and supporting their parents in their old age. As Fr. Mike stresses, this can be the simple but often overlooked phone call to mom or dad. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 2214-2220.

He also discusses the importance of spending time with virtuous people to acquire their positive qualities and the need to seek good rather than evil to attain the riches of heaven.

The family is the foundational element of society. Fr. Mike explains how families initiate us into societal life and act as the foundation of freedom and community. Because of its indispensable importance, we learn that civil authorities are responsible for supporting and honoring the family. Familial relationships also enlighten those found in society; we see our neighbor not as an anonymous individual but as “someone.” Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 2207-2213.

Mike points out that chasing fame and glory in this world are not worth our time, because they will all fade away after we are gone.

In learning the core and fundamental definition of the family, we read today that a family is formed by a “man and a woman united in marriage, together with their children.” The Christian family is a communion of faith, hope, and love and an image of the Trinity. Fr. Mike shares how important he believes friendship and family are in spreading the Good News of the Gospel. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 2201-2206.

We invite you to look at all of the places in your personal history where you have yet to forgive yourselves for something you did or said, or perhaps, didn't do or didn't say. We invite you to let yourself off the hook by recognizing that if you knew then what you know now, you would have did or said things differently. And so, you can see how you have grown since that event, since that moment, in your history. And you can forgive the past you for not knowing better or for not making the choice that was the higher-vibrational one. Recognize that everyone in all of creation has these moments, has these events. You are not the only one. You are not the only one who has made what you would call mistakes, who has slipped up. You are not the only one who has ever operated at a lower-vibrational frequency. It's alright. If you can forgive yourself for all the times that you were not at your best, then you can forgive others as well. And you can recognize once and for all that we are all meant to have these slip-ups, these mistakes, these errors in judgment. They inform us as to how we would like to be in the future. They allow us to have the experience of growth from that moment, and they give us the opportunity to forgive ourselves and others. So why should you then be the only one in all of creation who was supposed to be perfect from the moment of your inception? Why would you be the exception to the rule? Why do you think you have to be perfect in every moment of every day that you've ever existed? Let yourselves off the hook, and feel the relief that you can feel by realizing that you were always meant to be this work in progress and that you are progressing. And the fact that you feel guilty enough to not forgive yourself for a while means that you are progressing.
