Here's 81-year-old Father Ron Knott in a wide ranging conversation with Terry Meiners on Heaven, humor, the impact of prayers, sin, loneliness, and living life as a Catholic priest.bio from his website at fatherknott.comI am a priest of the Archdiocese of Louisville, Kentucky. Ordained May 16, 1970, I have served as a home missionary, college teacher, campus minister, pastor, cathedral rector, traveling evangelist, homiletics instructor, archdiocesan vocation director, founding director of the Saint Meinrad Seminary Institute for Priests and Presbyterates and a weekly columnist for 15 years.I have given major addresses at national conventions on church renovation, parish revitalization, homiletics, presbyteral unity and vocations. I have presented more than 80 parish missions and retreats and led more than 150 presbyteral convocations around the US and nine countries abroad.I have a Master of Divinity degree from Saint Meinrad School of Theology in Indiana and a Doctor of Ministry degree from McCormick Presbyterian Seminary in Chicago. I have authored several books for clergy and published several collections of my homilies and fifteen volumes of my For the Record book series. A few of my books for clergy are available in Spanish, Vietnamese and Swahili.In my retirement, besides the things listed above, I had been volunteering in the Diocese of Kingstown in the island country of St. Vincent and the Grenadines and serving as the founder of the Catholic Second Wind Guild (a volunteer organization for retired priests and lay people wanting to volunteer their time, expertise, connections in the Caribbean missions). After six years and twelve trips, I recently ended that organization due to COVID and travel restriction. With a major volcano eruption, it has become obvious that I need to make a wise and timely decision to find a cause closer to home. Long distance travels seem to be a “thing of the past” at least for the foreseeable future.In April of 2021, I decided to focus my attention on my home parish of Saint Theresa of Avila an hour away from where I now live. I have the dream of turning my old grade school building, Saint Theresa School which was closed in 1993, into a new Saint Theresa Family Life Center to serve the whole area.  My third cousin, Father Bob Ray, another priest from the same parish, is partnering with me by founding the Saint Theresa Heritage Partners, an alumni organization of the parish and school, to support this effort. I will lead the remodeling project of the Saint Theresa Family Life Center. Click on St. Theresa Heritage Partners and St. Theresa Family Life Center in the menu bar for more information.

We're exploring the Interior Castle, Sixth Mansions Chapter 1, in part 2 of this two-part podcast on stages of mystical prayer life. Saint Teresa explains the importance of the prayer stage of the Sixth Mansions. She uses the analogy of a spiritual engagement to describe the depths of the relationship of our heart and soul to Jesus. And of course, this deep interior prayer relationship is accompanied by trials.Timeline:00:00:00 Opening Scripture Numbers 24:18-16 00:01:35 Episode 149 Intro00:03:00 Sixth Mansions Chapter I Topical Outline00:04:10 Section I - Sixth Mansions Prepares the Soul for Spiritual Betrothal00:04:25 1.

Send us a textThis episode reviews findings from a cross-sectional study at SickKids on health literacy in pediatric VTE patients and caregivers (Res Pract Thromb Haemost, 2025). Among 101 participants, 74% of adolescents and 59% of parents/caregivers demonstrated low general health literacy using REALM, HAS-A, and eHEALS instruments. Communication with providers was the most affected domain, and fewer than half of participants were satisfied with their thrombosis knowledge. Adolescents frequently overestimated their understanding, underscoring the need for simplified educational resources and a “universal precautions” approach to health literacy in pediatric thrombosis care.AboutKidsHealth Thrombosis Hub: https://www.aboutkidshealth.ca/thrombosisBastas, D., Mancini, A., Wong, G., Brandão, L.

The readings for this Sunday's Mass relate the fruits of humility.  Growth in humility is worth the effort.  St. Theresa of Avila offers sound advice on how to advance in this essential Christian virtue. 

There is something oddly invigorating about discovering that one is not the center of the universe. It is rather like opening a window and discovering, to your astonishment, that the world goes on quite well without your personal supervision. This, I believe, is the beginning of wisdom – and the birthplace of humility.Now, humility is not what the modern man imagines it to be. He thinks it a sort of sad apology for existing, a miserable muttering of “I'm not good enough”. But true humility is not thinking less of oneself – it is thinking of oneself less, because one is too busy being stunned by the glory of God. It is precisely in the Catholic spiritual life, that narrow path which twists like a mountain road where humility is not merely a virtue but a necessity. We are attempting the unthinkable: union with God. And in this adventure towards Him, self-importance and our “machismo” ego is not only ludicrous; it is lethal.Saint John of the Cross, that severe and splendid mystic, understood this with mathematical precision. In his Ascent of Mount Carmel, he teaches us that the soul must be stripped of every attachment. One must walk, he says, nada, nada, nada – nothing, nothing, nothing. A man cannot be filled with God if he is already full of himself.St. Teresa of Avila, for all her heavenly visions, was hilariously human. She once complained to God, when thrown from her donkey, “If this is how You treat Your friends, no wonder You have so few.” And yet, in her Interior Castle, she tells us that humility is the mortar that holds the whole soul together. It is not in the ecstasies or raptures that the soul grows, but in the quiet, daily acceptance of its littleness. In knowing, quite simply, that we are creatures and that God is not.It is the great paradox of Christianity that as a man shrinks, he grows. The ladder to heaven begins with a step down. The saints are not giants of will, they are beggars of grace. They have ceased to build Babels and have instead begun to whisper in prayer. The devil fell by pride; the angels rose by obedience. We do not ascend to God by building towers, but by descending into ourselves and finding there – not thrones – but dust.The modern world is filled with slogans urging us to believe in ourselves. But the saints urge us to believe in something far greater: in Him who believed in us first, while we were yet sinners. They urge us to laugh at our own egos and to bend our knees, not as slaves, but as lovers. --- Help Spread the Good News --- Father Brian's homilies are shared freely thanks to generous listeners like you.

How do the three types of prayer, vocal, meditative and contemplative, connect with each other. (20:02) Rosemary - My mind is either blank many times or I start thinking about things going on in my day and get discouraged. (25:41) Break 1 How can you rest in the Lords presence by blanking your mind. (32:02) Carlos - First time practicing contemplation this morning. Amazed at what he received from the Lord. Glad you're talking about this today. Terri - When I try contemplative prayer, I almost feel like it's offensive to God like not giving it all. (39:13) Break 2 Monica - Has 8 kids. Homeschooled. Very busy and really longing to grow in prayer. It started with sleeping, washing dishes, being with children and coming into union with God. (46:52) Anna - Prayer also begins with what we do before or after prayer. How much time to we spend being stimulated by the world? Resources: Fr.

2025 Aug 24 SUN: TWENTY-FIRST SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME Is 66: 18-21/ Ps 117: 1. 2/ Heb 12: 5-7. 11-13/ Lk 13: 22-30 I remember, from about 20 years ago, being at a meeting with a number of non-Catholic Christian pastors and I was explaining to them what the Second Vatican Council had to say about the possible salvation of people who've never heard of Jesus Christ. And Vatican II, in the Constitution on the Church, says that such people, if they are seeking what is true and good, they can be granted entrance into the heavenly kingdom. And I remember one of the pastors objecting to this. He says, "That's universalism." Universalism traditionally has been the idea that everybody is saved. And I suppose that it kind of tore at his idea of religion. I guess he had this idea that there are winners and losers. I don't know. But we have this question posed today. It says that someone asked Jesus, "Lord, will only a few people be saved?"  Well, Jesus does not give an answer -- a numerical answer. He does tell us that we need to pay close attention because this is a relationship we are talking about. A relationship into which every one of us has been invited. He says it isn't enough to say yeah we knew you, you taught in our streets, you should know us. That is not sufficient. We are called to cultivate a truly personal relationship with the Son of God who came among us truly human as well as truly God -- in order to bear on our behalf all that we find ourselves having to bear in this often painful mystery of our earthly existence. Saint Teresa of Avila wrote that Jesus is our best friend precisely because he chose to take upon himself what we find ourselves having to suffer in a sinful world. The pastor I remember from 20 years ago could be confronted today with what we hear from just about the very end of the prophet Isaiah. There is universalism being expressed here. You heard all those unfamiliar place names. In fact there's one in there that is so unfamiliar that nobody can identify it with anything. They don't know which nation Isaiah is talking about but they are converging from the east and the west and from the north and the south.   And those are Jesus' words today in the Gospel. Yes, there is something universally offered. We have the responsibility of really accepting this gift of the God who became one of us and we hope that, by the way we live our lives, many others will be attracted to this Kingdom of God announced by Jesus.  Of course we might talk about these things in ways that do not open themselves to relationships. We've heard it in the news over the past week about people reflecting and worrying, I guess you could say, about whether they would get to heaven. And that's a very American way of putting things. We can find it if we pick up a great American novel, Huckleberry Finn, and discover that Huck is being taught about the "good place" and the "bad place." Well, it's not so much a place; it is a relationship. It is coming to love the God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit who first of all created us and then recreated us through the sacrifice of Jesus. So Jesus, when he speaks about the narrow way, is talking about what the Letter to the Hebrews is illustrating. Yes, we find ourselves disciplined, but this is so that we may be strong. He refers to our hands and our knees. Hebrews is saying you can keep traveling this path because you are on a path in which you discover that you are being healed.

In January of 2022, a shocking case out of New Mexico stunned the nation. Surveillance cameras captured 18-year-old Alexis Avila tossing her newborn baby into a dumpster... alone, wrapped in a dirty towel, and left for dead. The footage went viral, sparking outrage, heartbreak, and fierce debates about teen pregnancy, mental health, and justice. Miraculously, the infant was later found alive by chance, but the story of how this happened, and what came next, would haunt an entire community. Today, we're diving deep into the disturbing case of Alexis Avila: the night she abandoned her child, the trial that followed, and the questions that remain about accountability and survival.Support Our Patreon: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/themiserymachine⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠PayPal: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.paypal.me/themiserymachine⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join Our Facebook Group: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://t.co/DeSZIIMgXs?amp=1⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: miserymachinepodcastTwitter: misery_podcastDiscord: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://discord.gg/kCCzjZM⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠#themiserymachine #podcast #truecrimeSource Materials:https://people.com/crime/mother-who-threw-baby-new-mexico-dumpster-sentenced/https://www.courttv.com/news/alexis-avila-to-be-released-from-prison-pending-appeal/#:~:text=Avila%20was%2018%20when%20she,35%2C%20survived%20the%20incidenthttps://www.koat.com/article/hobbs-new-mexico-alexis-throwing-baby-dumpster-verdict/43754813#:~:text=Police%20said%20a%20group%20of,until%20police%20and%20paramedics%20arrivedhttps://www.kob.com/archive/hobbs-police-group-of-3-people-found-newborn-baby-alive-in-dumpster/https://www.fox13news.com/news/new-mexico-woman-defends-teen-daughter-accused-of-throwing-baby-in-dumpsterhttps://www.krqe.com/news/new-mexico/teen-father-of-baby-thrown-in-dumpster-releases-statement/https://www.hobbsnews.com/avila-released-from-prison-in-baby-in-dumpster-case/#:~:text=%E2%80%A2%20No%20Weaponshttps://www.kcbd.com/2023/05/01/alexis-avila-speaks-after-receiving-16-years-throwing-newborn-dumpster/https://www.cbsnews.com/news/alexis-avila-sentenced-prison-tossing-newborn-baby-trash-dumpster-new-mexico/#:~:text=Jurors%20convicted%C2%A0Alexis%20Avila%2C%2019%2C%20of,health%20disorder%20played%20a%20rolehttps://www.yahoo.com/news/mexico-supreme-court-consider-inmates-225958935.htmlhttps://www.yahoo.com/news/state-supreme-court-rule-hobbs-021506740.htmlhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Ps3DP_GztIhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFQRfYfYBfchttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7acSLb4V4hw

Patrick Madrid takes a call from Matt in Huntington Beach, who asks a very relatable question: How do I keep prayer intentional when I have so many intentions that it feels like a checklist? Patrick admits right away that he’s not speaking as a prayer “expert,” but as a fellow traveler who wrestles with the same distractions. He encourages you to pray at times and in places where the noise of life is quieter -- whether that’s at home in the early morning or during a visit to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. But he also affirms that prayer doesn’t have to be limited to those moments; it can happen anywhere -- in the car, at the grocery store, or in the middle of a busy day. What matters most, Patrick says, is not the absence of distractions but what you do with them. He suggests offering those distractions to God directly: “Lord, I’m trying to pray, but my mind is scattered. I give you these distractions too.” That effort, he says, is pleasing to God because it shows love and persistence. Patrick also draws on Ignatian spirituality, recommending a prayer method that involves putting yourself into the scene of Scripture or the mysteries of the Rosary. For example, while praying the Sorrowful Mysteries, you can imagine yourself standing at the pillar as Jesus is scourged, which helps stir gratitude and deepen prayer. He goes on to outline the stages of prayer: -Discursive prayer -- the “shallow end,” made up of spontaneous prayers or rote prayers like the Our Father -Meditation -- a deeper form, where the mind and heart actively engage with the truths of the Faith -Contemplation -- the “deep end” of prayer, described by saints like Teresa of Avila as gazing on God with love, much like beholding a beautiful sunset in awe On the specific problem of prayer becoming a long “laundry list,” Patrick introduces the idea of virtual intentions. Instead of naming every single person or need individually each time, you can entrust categories of people or petitions to God: “Lord, I pray for all those I promised to pray for” or “I pray for all who have died.” This way, prayer remains heartfelt without being mechanical. Finally, Patrick recommends two spiritual classics to grow in prayer: Introduction to the Devout Life by St. Francis de Sales and The Interior Castle by St. Teresa of Avila. Both provide wisdom on moving from simple, everyday prayer to deeper intimacy with God. Patrick reminds you: the key is not perfection, but intention. As long as you’re sincerely engaging with God rather than just “clickety clacking” through words, your prayer life will bear fruit.

Fr. Elias Mary Mills, F.I. served as Rector of the Shrine Church at the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Lacrosse, Wisconsin from 2016 to 2021. He was ordained in May of 2000. In Today's Show: When would the quality of penance be excessive or lax? What would be useful advice for knowing what penance(s) are apt for someone? What is your take on Catholic AI as a ministerial tool? Should we start a modern crusade by converting AI to Catholicism so that it will then be compelled to convert the whole world? What does this say about the training and prayer lives of most priests if AI does a better job at answering questions about the spiritual life? Our Lady of Fatima told the children that souls would go to Hell for sins of the flesh. Can you please elaborate on that? I'm looking for a recommendation for a good book on the Holy Spirit. Can you help? Why can't any Pope successfully consecrate Russia the way Our Lady requested? If someone is murdered on holy ground and is not a practicing Catholic but overall a good person, do they receive a special grace sparing them from eternal damnation? There seems to be tension between the ascetic demands of traditional Catholicism and the emphasis on emotional well-being in modern psychology. How can we avoid both stoicism and self-indulgence, and where do spiritual direction and therapy intersect responsibly? Do I really have to deny myself of everything in the world just to follow God? I've been reading the works of St. Teresa of Avila and St. John of the Cross. Is it still possible, or even appropriate, for laypeople to aspire to the mystical path in a world so noisy, fast, and disordered? How can we safeguard against deception in this pursuit? I'm a newer convert and I really want to read the Bible more, but it's a bit overwhelming. Where should a Catholic beginner start, and are there any books I should avoid reading out of context? How can a traditional Catholic single person navigate dating when most people, even Catholics, don't seem to share these values?

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”What happens when our deepest desires for connection and love become twisted by a pornographic culture? Father Thomas Morrow joins us to explore how we can reclaim authentic sexuality in a world that has reduced it to mere pleasure-seeking.Father Morrow, author of "Achieving Chastity in an Unchaste World," shares powerful insights about transforming our hearts rather than merely suppressing desires. Drawing from his decades of pastoral experience, he offers practical wisdom for those struggling with pornography addiction—including the story of a man who overcame a 20-year daily habit through prayer and intentional heart conversion.The conversation delves into Pope John Paul II's profound teachings on human love, explaining how we can move beyond mere attraction and desire toward authentic goodwill and self-gift. When temptation strikes, Father Morrow suggests simple but effective practices: repeating "Jesus" in your heart, redirecting thoughts, and transforming attraction into gratitude by mentally thanking God for the beauty He created.Purchase: Achieving Chastity in An Unchaste WorldPrayer emerges as the essential foundation for chastity. As Father Morrow explains, "Those who pray are saved, those who don't pray are damned"—not as a threat, but as a simple truth about relationship. Even when prayer feels boring (as it did for St. Teresa of Avila), perseverance leads to transformation. The Divine Mercy devotion offers particular strength, with Jesus's promise that those who venerate the image will not perish.For anyone struggling with sexual temptation, Father Morrow leaves us with this comforting truth: "The difference between a saint and a sinner is that a saint is a sinner who never stopped trying." No matter how many times we fall, God's mercy awaits our return—inviting us to a love infinitely more fulfilling than anything this world can offer.Read Jacks latest Blog on Substack: "Awakened by Beauty, Commissioned for Battle, Seeking Adventure"Support the show

Las llamas han obligado a evacuar a más de un millar de personas en Zamora y en León en las últimas horas. Lo más complicado se está viviendo en el Bierzo, donde se está quemando el entorno del paraje de las Médulas, que es patrimonio de la Humanidad de la UNESCO. Lo peor está en Castilla y León, con incendios en cuatro provincias: León, Avila, Palencia y Zamora. Mientras en Galicia, en Ourense, dos incendios dejan más de 1.300 hectáreas quemadas. En el exterior, el ejército de Israel ha bombardeado una carpa en la que trabajaban varios periodistas. Este ataque ha dejado, al menos cuatro informadores de la cadena Al Jazeera muertos.

Full Text of ReadingsSaturday of the Eighteenth Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 412The Saint of the day is Saint Teresa Benedicta of the CrossSaint Teresa Benedicta of the Cross' Story A brilliant philosopher who stopped believing in God when she was 14, Edith Stein was so captivated by reading the autobiography of Teresa of Avila that she began a spiritual journey that led to her baptism in 1922. Twelve years later she imitated Saint Teresa by becoming a Carmelite, taking the name Teresa Benedicta of the Cross. Born into a prominent Jewish family in Breslau, Germany—now Wroclaw, Poland—Edith abandoned Judaism in her teens. As a student at the University of Göttingen, she became fascinated by phenomenology–an approach to philosophy. Excelling as a protégé of Edmund Husserl, one of the leading phenomenologists, Edith earned a doctorate in philosophy in 1916. She continued as a university teacher until 1922, when she moved to a Dominican school in Speyer; her appointment as lecturer at the Educational Institute of Munich ended under pressure from the Nazis. After living for four years in the Cologne Carmel, Sister Teresa Benedicta moved to the Carmelite monastery in Echt, Netherlands, in 1938. The Nazis occupied that country in 1940. In retaliation for being denounced by the Dutch bishops, the Nazis arrested all Dutch Jews who had become Christians. Teresa Benedicta and her sister Rosa, also a Catholic, died in a gas chamber in Auschwitz on August 9, 1942. Pope John Paul II beatified Teresa Benedicta of the Cross in 1987 and canonized her 12 years later. Reflection The writings of Edith Stein fill 17 volumes, many of which have been translated into English. A woman of integrity, she followed the truth wherever it led her. After becoming a Catholic, Edith continued to honor her mother's Jewish faith. Sister Josephine Koeppel, O.C.D., translator of several of Edith's books, sums up this saint with the phrase, “Learn to live at God's hands.” Saint Teresa Benedicta of the Cross is a Patron Saint of: Converts to ChristianityEurope Learn more about Saint Benedicta of the Cross!

She died in a gas chamber in Auschwitz on August 9, 1942.Pope John Paul II beatified Teresa Benedicta in 1987 and canonized her in 1998.Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!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!

We live in a time when many people believe that the existence of God is unknowable, that human reason is incapable of knowing whether God exists or that God does not exist.  This is not something new. Edith Stein, the towering intellectual saint and martyr the Church honors today, lost her faith in God during her teenage years, despite being brought up in a devout Jewish home. She was the youngest of eleven children. Her widowed mother encouraged all her children to think critically and encouraged them in their studies.  Edith's studies were interrupted by World War I. She became a volunteer nurse at an infectious disease hospital in her home town in Germany. Confronting the suffering of her patients must have been a major factor in choosing the topic of empathy for her doctoral thesis. Even with graduating summa cum laude from the University of Freiburg, she was denied a teaching certificate due to her gender. Instead, Edith became a teaching assistant to her university professor, the renowned philosopher and mathematician, Edmund Husserl. .  Edith was constantly writing and studying, but it was not until she read the autobiography of St. Teresa of Avila that her life changed dramatically. She was moved to convert to Catholicism and, eventually, to enter into the convent of the Discalced Carmelites. She took the name, St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross, honoring her patron saint.  Her sister, Rosa, also converted and became a tertiary of the Carmelites, living outside the convent, but assisting the sisters in their mission. During the turbulent years of World War II, the leadership of the Carmelites grew concerned for the safety of St. Teresa Benedicta and her sister. They transferred them from Cologne to the Netherlands, thinking that their Jewish backgrounds would not under as much scrutiny. Soon after their transfer, however, the Dutch bishops wrote a strongly worded public letter condemning the abuses of the Nazi regime. Edith Stein also wrote a letter to Pope Pius XI, pleading that Pope must make a similar public statement against the Nazis. It is not known whether the Pope read the letter or not.   It was not long after the Dutch bishops letter that the Gestapo rounded up 244 people of Jewish descent in the Netherlands, including Sister Teresa Benedicta of the Cross and her sister, Rosa. They were sent to Auschwitz and murdered just a week later in the gas chambers, probably on August 9th, 1942. In a statement to her Carmelite superiors, Edith wrote: “I beg the Lord to take my life and my death…as atonement for the unbelief of the Jewish People, and that the Lord will be received by his own people and his kingdom shall come in glory, for the salvation of Germany and the peace of the world…”  Even after her arrest, she was offered an escape plan, but refused, stating: “If somebody intervened at this point and took away (her) chance to share in the fate of (her) brothers and sisters, that would be utter annihilation.” The writings of St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross fill 17 volumes. A woman of integrity, she followed the truth wherever it led. She was canonized by Pope John Paul II in 1999 and is one of six patrons saints of Europe.  St. Teresa Benedicta, pray for us. Blessings, Fr. Kevin MacDonald, C.Ss.R.

There's a certain kind of quiet that lives in grief — especially when you're young.Especially when you're already feeling like the outsider.Especially when no one's listening.This week on Come Back To Earth, I talk with singer-songwriter Alexia Avila, who started writing music as a teenager — not for fame or attention, but for survival. After losing her father, navigating bullying, and dealing with mental health struggles that left her feeling misunderstood and alone, she turned to songwriting not just as expression… but as reclamation.Her first finished song, “My Way,” became an anthem. A declaration. A musical letter to herself that said: “You're allowed to be here. You're allowed to speak.”Before our conversation, I reflect on “Lose You to Love Me” by Selena Gomez — a song about stepping back into your own light after the world tries to dim it. It's not about triumph. It's about truth. And Alexia's story holds that same softness and strength.In this episode, we explore:* How music gave her a voice when the world refused to listen* The emotional weight of being excluded and unseen as a young person* Her grief journey after losing her father* What it means to create from a place of pain — and still find beauty there* And how she continues to support others by sharing her own healing out loudThis episode is for the ones who've ever had to write their way back to themselves.About Alexia:Alexia Avila is a singer-songwriter whose music is rooted in personal truth and emotional resilience. Her single “My Way” speaks to her journey through loss, mental health, and the power of using art to reclaim your story. You can find her music and more on Instagram at @songsbyalexia.If this episode gave you something to hold onto:Send it to someone who's learning to speak again.Or better yet — send them a song.Mentions & Links:* “Lose You to Love Me” by Selena Gomez* Alexia's music: @songsbyalexia* Theme music by: Lincoln Parish* Subscribe to the show: comebacktoearth.substack.com Get full access to Come Back To Earth at comebacktoearth.substack.com/subscribe

In this follow-up episode, Barb Ernster and Katie Moran share Fulton Sheen's simple but powerful way to make a Holy Hour. He taught that prayer is a conversation, first we speak to God, then we listen as He speaks to us. They explore how to enter into meditation, with help from saints like Teresa of Avila and Mother Teresa, and modern guidance from Fr. Timothy Gallagher. Even in spiritual dryness, like the saints experienced, God is still working.  These insights are drawn from The Holy Hour Prayer Book by Fulton Sheen, available at fultonsheentoday.com.

El Castillo Interior or Las Moradas (trans.: The Interior Castle or The Mansions) was written by Saint Teresa of Ávila in 1577. After being ordered to write her autobiographical La Vida de la Santa Madre Teresa de Jesús (The Life of S. Teresa of Jesus), Teresa was hesitant to begin writing again on her views of the perfection found in internal prayer. In the hands of the Inquisition at that time, her Life was commonly believed to be the weight in the scale of whether to call her experiences heretical or not. Her humility and claims that, “I am not meant for writing; I have neither the health nor the wits for it,” almost prevented Teresa from composing The Interior Castle. However, according to a letter written by Fray Diego, one of Teresa's former confessors, Teresa was finally convinced to write her book after a she received a vision from God. Diego wrote that God revealed to Teresa,  "...a most beautiful crystal globe, made in the shape of a castle, and containing seven mansions, in the seventh and innermost of which was the King of Glory, in the greatest splendour, illumining and beautifying them all. The nearer one got to the centre, the stronger was the light; outside the palace limits everything was foul, dark and infested with toads, vipers and other venomous creatures."  With that, Interior Castle was born. It contained the basis for what she felt should be the ideal journey of faith, comparing the contemplative soul to a castle with seven successive interior courts, or chambers, analogous to the seven heavens. Teresa's consumption of chivalric romances as a child subsequently influenced such imagery, which is prevalent in many of her mystical works. It is also not unduly speculative that living in a walled city like Ávila must have influenced her thinking. The concept of an "interior" life is still important in Spanish thinking in the twenty-first century.  An English translation was published in London in 1852.

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

Full Text of ReadingsWednesday of the Fifteenth Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 391The Saint of the day is Our Lady of Mount CarmelThe Story of Our Lady of Mount Carmel Hermits lived on Mount Carmel near the Fountain of Elijah in northern Israel in the 12th century. They had a chapel dedicated to Our Lady. By the 13th century they became known as “Brothers of Our Lady of Mount Carmel.” They soon celebrated a special Mass and Office in honor of Mary. In 1726, it became a celebration of the universal Church under the title of Our Lady of Mount Carmel. For centuries the Carmelites have seen themselves as specially related to Mary. Their great saints and theologians have promoted devotion to her and often championed the mystery of her Immaculate Conception. Saint Teresa of Avila called Carmel “the Order of the Virgin.” Saint John of the Cross credited Mary with saving him from drowning as a child, leading him to Carmel, and helping him escape from prison. Saint Thérèse of the Child Jesus believed that Mary cured her from illness. On her First Communion day, Thérèse dedicated her life to Mary. During the last days of her life she frequently spoke of Mary. There is a tradition—which may not be historical—that Mary appeared to Saint Simon Stock, a leader of the Carmelites, and gave him a scapular, telling him to promote devotion to it. The scapular is a modified version of Mary's own garment. It symbolizes her special protection and calls the wearers to consecrate themselves to her in a special way. The scapular reminds us of the gospel call to prayer and penance—a call that Mary models in a splendid way. Reflection The Carmelites were known from early on as “Brothers of Our Lady of Mount Carmel.” The title suggests that they saw Mary not only as “mother,” but also as “sister.” The word sister is a reminder that Mary is very close to us. She is the daughter of God and therefore can help us be authentic daughters and sons of God. She also can help us grow in appreciation of being sisters and brothers to one another. She leads us to a new realization that all human beings belong to the family of God. When such a conviction grows, there is hope that the human race can find its way to peace.

In this week's Sunday Homily prep, Fr. Jonathan Meyer reflects on the Gospel of Luke 10:38–42 — the timeless story of Martha and Mary.   What does it really mean to “choose the better part”? Fr. Meyer shares powerful insights on silence, contemplative prayer, and the need to simply be with Jesus — just as Mary did.  

Many Catholics worry about praying the rosary “correctly.” But what if that's never what it was about? In this episode, we explore the two pillars the rosary was built on—loving repetition and meditation on Christ's life—and trace its roots back to the monastic Divine Office and Lectio Divina.The rosary is not a checklist. It's a spiritual love story, a rhythm of grace, and a doorway to contemplation.Learn how to pray it more deeply, debunk common myths, and discover how saints like Teresa of Avila can guide us toward a rosary that speaks back.
