Hope for Right Now Podcast – Trust in the Impossible: An Advent Series, Mary While Walking with Purpose founder Lisa takes time to write our next women's Bible study, Laura is keeping the Hope for Right Now podcast going strong with a four-week series: Trust in the Impossible: An Advent Series. Advent is meant to be a time of interior reflection—the weeks we prepare our hearts and homes to receive the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. But with the secular world's demands and distractions, keeping our eyes on what matters can be challenging, and the season of quiet we dream about feels impossible. What if this Advent, we said no to the overwhelm of the secular world and yes to the overshadowing of the Spirit? Each week, Laura introduces a Biblical figure from the Gospel of Luke, whose story reveals the secret to a simple, peace-filled Advent—one where we yield to God's will, respond in faith, and trust in the impossible.  Today's Biblical figure: Mary. Discover what happens when we learn to stop our human activity and allow the Spirit to move us. Open your Heart to our key Scripture. Luke 1:26–38 Open your Bible to other Scriptures referenced in this episode. Genesis 3:15: I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel. Luke 2:19: But Mary kept all these things, pondering them in her heart. Invite Him in with this episode's questions for reflection. Spend a few minutes practicing mental prayer using Luke 1:26–38 for your Scripture passage. Our presenting sponsor is CB Jewelry. Faith is beautiful—and it's your best accessory.

The Scripture readings for this homily: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/120525.cfmTo encounter Christ is to encounter the One who heals—physically, spiritually, supernaturally. Today's Gospel reminds us that miracles are not mythology but reality. Two blind men cry out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on us.” Their plea becomes the seed of what the Church would later cherish as the Jesus Prayer—“Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.”The Fathers of the Church teach us that Scripture works on multiple levels. Historically, the miracle happened. Allegorically, the story unveils the drama of the spiritual life. We, too, are often blind—moving through seasons of darkness, dryness, and desolation. St. John of the Cross calls this the “dark night of the senses,” a purification God permits so that we learn fidelity beyond feelings.Yet God does not leave the faithful in darkness. For those who persevere, He leads them into illumination, contemplation, even the grace of infused prayer—where, as St. Teresa of Avila describes, the soul is “invaded by the supernatural.” Prayer shifts from something we do to something God does in us.This is the heart of the Jesus Prayer. Slowly, reverently, breathed in rhythm with the heart, the soul becomes accustomed to the presence of Jesus. The Eastern saints tell us that one can reach the place where even in sleep the heart continues to pray.This is our call: not merely to “say prayers,” but to become prayer. To carry Jesus in every breath. To let His name shape our thoughts, our conversations, our interior life. When we invoke His Holy Name, He draws near—because He desires intimate communion with us.To go deeper in your spiritual life, visit DivineMercyPlus.org, our free, ad-free Catholic streaming platform.

Gamboa-Avila v. HHS

Victor Avila, Assistant Director at ONDCP–OELA and former HSI agent, joins Pags with a jaw-dropping look inside the fight against international drug runners — and what he reveals will shock you. Avila breaks down what's really happening off the coast of Venezuela, why War Secretary Pete Hegseth is under fire, and why some on the left seem more concerned about “protecting” narco traffickers than protecting Americans. He explains how intel operations work, how drug-running boats are intercepted, and why certain groups are suddenly demanding due process for narco terrorists. Avila also exposes the staggering amounts of money these networks generate and what's at stake if the U.S. pulls back. This is insider, on-the-ground truth you won't hear anywhere else.

In this episode of EMRA*Cast's "Bridging Health and Humanity," host Natalie Hernandez interviews Dr. Jailyn Avila about the importance of gender-affirming care in the emergency department. Dr. Avila highlights the significant health disparities and challenges faced by LGBTQIA+ patients, including a reluctance to seek care in the ED due to fear of discrimination and past negative experiences. The conversation covers the critical aspect of treating trans patients with the same respect and care as cis patients, avoiding irrelevant medical questions, and implementing small changes in practice to create a supportive environment. Dr. Avila shares personal experiences as a transgender woman, emphasizes the necessity of advocacy, and provides actionable steps for clinicians to improve the care and trust of LGBTQIA+ patients. The episode also addresses the impact of recent restrictive policies on the health care of trans individuals and calls for education, advocacy, and systemic change to support this vulnerable population.

What if you could transform your rushing and impatience into peace, clarity, and real accomplishment? This week on Love University, we explore how to do exactly that. In a world addicted to speed and urgency, many people are unknowingly ruled by what Dr. Avila calls the Rush Weakness—the inner pressure to do more, faster, all the time. But rushing rarely leads to real progress. Instead, it drains energy, clouds thinking, and invites mistakes. The good news is that this mental habit can be transformed into a deeper strength known as the Mind of Patience. Drawing from his class book, Invincible You (https://tinyurl.com/3y3szh27), Dr. Avila teaches you how to replace reactivity with calm direction so you can stop racing against time and start living with purpose. Here's how transformation begins:   Recognize the Rush Weakness as a fear-based habit Rushing feels productive, but it's often driven by fear—fear of falling behind, missing out, or not doing enough. It masquerades as urgency but creates inner tension and impulsive decisions. Transformation begins with awareness: noticing when the Rush Weakness is controlling your pace, and realizing that calm action often leads to better results.   Train your patience like a mental muscle Patience is not passivity. It's a deliberate, focused mindset that brings clarity under pressure. A key tool in building this strength is the “Choose the Longer Line” exercise: intentionally standing in the slower queue to recondition your tolerance for waiting. By facing down the discomfort, you gain control over your impulses and strengthen emotional resilience. Shift from rushing to rhythm When guided by the Mind of Patience, your actions become more grounded. You stop chasing time and start managing energy. This shift leads to fewer mistakes, less stress, and greater clarity. Results come not from moving faster, but from aligning thought with purpose—and trusting that the right outcomes will unfold when approached with steadiness and focus. Learn how to break free from the Rush Weakness and step into a new pace of life—one built on patience, presence, and sustainable achievement.

Wir brauchen Menschen, die uns darauf aufmerksam machen, dass wir in Gott sind und Gott in uns ist. Gott ist uns viel näher als jede Not. Auch Teresa von Avila hatte die Glaubensgewissheit, dass Gott in ihr ist. Friede und Befreiung von Angst und Sorge wurden ihr geschenkt. Wir laden zum Hineinhören herzlich ein. (Radio Maria Aufzeichnung vom 15.10.2025

A New Mexico teen who gave birth and threw her newborn baby into a dumpster has had her conviction appeal denied. Alexis Avila was convicted of attempted first-degree murder and child abuse involving great bodily harm. On appeal, her attorneys argued that jury instructions on mental health were confusing and claimed ineffective assistance of counsel for not pursuing an insanity defense. Law&Crime's Jesse Weber breaks down the disturbing case, the arguments on appeal, and why the court upheld Avila's conviction.PLEASE SUPPORT THE SHOW:Join CROWDHEALTH and say goodbye to insurance headaches.

Last week I was joined by French born Dutch star Lauren Holmey before she set off for Malaga for Andalucia Costa Del Sol Open de Espana which was gained on merit for topping the Santander Golf Tour standings winning4 times this season as well as 3 Top 10's & 7 Top 25's on LETAS. Lauren was born in Sevres, France to French & Dutch parents and resides in Paris. Started playing the game of golf at an early age and would win multiple Dutch National titles at all levels as well as play in the Youth Olympics in 2018 for The Netherlands one of Lauren's favourite experiences. At amateur level Lauren has had some great success with participating at 2022 Espirito Santo with Mayka Hoogeboom & Anne Sterre den Dunnen at her hometown course Le Golf National as well as playing in 4x European Girls' Team Championships, 2x European Ladies' Team Championships & a 2019 European Nations Cup winner. In 2022 on LET Access Series at Flumserberg Ladies Open Lauren Holmey would win the event as an amateur at -8 by 1 shot to Patricia Isabel Schmidt a brilliant achievement. In 2022 Lauren would finally turn pro after the win and would have 3 runner up finishes on tour at Hauts de France, Trust Golf Links & Big Green Egg Swedish Matchplay (lost to Schmidt in final) which would gain her card to LET in 2023 where she finished 49th at Lalla Meryem Cup in Morocco in her first ever start but as the season goes on Lauren would openly admit about struggling to come to terms with the relentless nature of tour life but comes with experience. Fast forward to 2025 Lauren would have 3 Top 10 & 7 Top 25 finishes on LET Access Series finishing 15th overall & would win 4x Santander Golf Tour events in Avila, La Coruna, Girona & Sevilla with Vanessa Knecht. With Final Stage LET Q School just around the corner this week at Real Guadalhorce is ideal preparation for the talented 22 year old.

A reading for meditation of the St John of the Cross poem - "I Entered the Unknown."John of the Cross (1542 -1591) was a Spanish Catholic priest, mystic, and a Carmelite friar of converso origin. John became a priest in 1567 and considered joining the Carthusian Order where monks lived cloistered in individual cells. He was attracted by the simple and quiet life. However, he encountered Theresa of Avila, a charismatic Carmelite nun. On Nov. 28, 1568, Theresa founded a new monastery. The same day, John changed his name again to John of the Cross. Within a couple years, John and his fellow friars, relocated to a larger site for their monastery. He remained at this location until 1572.

Dr. Tom and Kari Curran explore hot topic issues: 5 popular bio-hacks, the USCCB's video on immigration and transgender ideology in schools. The Currans share insights on the gospel reading for the Feast of Christ the King [Luke 23:35-43] and a shocking story of St. Teresa of Avila.

Do you ever feel like your prayer is pointless? You show up, but you feel nothing, "know" nothing, and it seems like you're just talking to the void. This experience of spiritual dryness is one of the most common and difficult challenges in the spiritual life, and it's the number one reason many people stop praying altogether. In this episode, we explore the practical and profound antidote to this dryness: faith and hope. We dive into John Henry Newman's powerful distinction between "notional assent" (simply knowing and explaining facts about God) and "real assent" (letting those truths radically change how you live). This shift is the key to understanding what to do when your prayer feels empty. We discuss how this concept, combined with St. Teresa of Avila's "determined determination," responds to dryness. It's not a sign of failure or God's absence; it's a critical training ground to build a faith that isn't dependent on feelings. In this episode, you will learn: The crucial difference between "notional assent" and "real assent" and how it impacts your prayer.Why looking for God in your feelings or natural understanding is like trying to "force God into something that would make him not God."How to understand dryness as the training ground St.John of the Cross calls "naked faith."Practical ways to apply "determined determination" and use hope as the fuel to persevere, even when prayer feels pointless.

In episode 157, we explore Saint Teresa of Avila's classic manuscript on prayer, The Interior Castle, in the Sixth Mansions chapter 6.

​​In today's episode, I am sitting down with Darshana Avila for a truly fascinating and important conversation about the intersection of sexuality, somatic work, and trauma healing. As therapists, we often talk about the mind and body connection, but many of us shy away from exploring how that connection relates to our clients' sexuality, intimacy, and sense of pleasure. Darshana brings a deeply trauma-informed and culturally sensitive approach to this work, helping clients reconnect with their bodies, navigate consent, and move beyond shame into embodied wholeness. In our discussion, we explore what sexological bodywork actually looks like, how it differs from traditional sex therapy, and why somatic awareness is essential for both healing trauma and deepening intimacy. We also touch on how therapists can hold space for these conversations within private practice and why it is so important to bring curiosity, consent, and compassion to this part of the human experience.

Pope Leo XIV has recently formally declared St. John Henry Newman—who was canonized only in 2019 by Pope Francis—a doctor of the Catholic Church, a recognition given only to 37 other saints in Catholicism's over 2000 year history. This places Newman among great figures like St. Augustine, St. Gregory the Great, St. Jerome, St. Thomas Aquinas, St. Theresa de Avila, St. Catherine of Sienna, and the Little Flower, St. Therese of Lisieux. What is the significance of giving St. John Henry Newman—an Englishman and Anglican convert to Catholicism who was born over 200 years ago—this title? What is it about Newman's approach to communicating the faith that earned him this great honor—and why now?  Equally important, how can contemporary evangelists draw inspiration from his work to proclaim the Gospel in a drastically different world, religiously and morally, from Newman's 19th century Victorian England? A listener asks for advice on how to give better homilies at Mass. 00:00 | Introduction 01:26 | Bishop Barron's recent domestic travels 03:20 | Defining "Doctor of the Church" 04:55 | Distinguishing doctors from saints 05:50 | John Henry Newman's brief biography 12:18 | Understanding the development of doctrine 17:41 | Safeguards against corruption 22:33 | The wholeness of the truth 25:34 | Newman: "To live is to change" 29:28 | The "illative sense" of the mind's assent to propositions 34:10 | Difficulties vs. doubt 35:54 | How Newman speaks to England now 37:55 | Listener question: How can priests improve preparation for homilies? 39:58 | Join the Word on Fire Institute   Links: Word on Fire Institute: https://institute.wordonfire.org/ NOTE: Do you like this podcast? Become a Word on Fire IGNITE member!

Would you like to live like a champion—someone who consistently wins in life, not just occasionally, but day after day, in every area that matters most? On this week's episode of Love University, we explore three key principles that can help you step into your greatness—starting now. Whether you want more success in your relationships, career, finances, health, or mindset, these three simple steps can help you live with more confidence, power, and joy: Step 1: Turn “Little Bads” into “Little Goods” Many people are weighed down by self-defeating thoughts: “I don't have enough time,” “Life is difficult,” or “I can't find someone to love.” These are the little bads—small, self-defeating messages that accumulate in your thinking and drain your emotional and psychological energy. The key to living like a champion is to notice these patterns and change them for little goods: positive, believable affirmations like “There's plenty of love and opportunity for me,” or “I have all the time I need.” At first, the negative voices will resist—after all, they've lived in your head for years. But, with daily repetition, you will crowd them out and replace them with encouraging, life-affirming thoughts that fuel your actions and elevate your mood. Step 2: Start with the Easy. Champions don't wait for the perfect moment. They begin with what they can do right now. This might mean reading a short article about a new career path, writing the first sentence of a book, or spending just 20 minutes at the gym. Psychologists call these early actions successive approximations to the goal—small steps that build confidence and momentum as you reach your larger objectives. With each completed action, you develop a rhythm of success. As you go from short walks to longer ones, from brief study sessions to deep dives, and from quality conversations to meaningful relationships, you prove to yourself that growth is possible—and that you're the kind of person who follows through to achieve what you desire. Step 3: Practice the Power of Discard. Living like a champion isn't just about doing more—it's about letting go of what holds you back. That includes old clothes that don't fit, obsolete equipment, and cluttered paperwork. Discarding isn't just physical; it's psychological. When you clear your external space, you begin to free your internal space. As you throw away objects that no longer serve you, you create mental clarity, self-respect, and room for new, empowering beliefs to take root. The more you let go of what you don't need, the more power you have to attract what truly matters.

The October 23 edition of the AgNet News Hour was packed with innovation, insight, and a deep look at the future of farming — from fertilizer and fungicides to fully autonomous sprayers. Broadcasting from the FIRA USA Ag Automation Show in Woodland and the CAPCA Conference in Reno, hosts Nick Papagni and Josh McGill spotlighted some of the biggest players in ag technology, including TK, Bayer Crop Science, and GUSS, now part of John Deere. The show opened with Alex Avila, Central California representative for TK (Tessenderlo Kerley), who shared updates from the crop protection side of the business. “California is so unique — every region grows something different,” Avila said. “What we do in the Central Valley is totally different from the coast or Oregon.” TK provides fertilizers, insecticides, and fumigation solutions tailored to each region's unique needs. Avila noted that California's mild growing season in 2025 produced some of the best fruit quality and yields in years, but warned that market pressures remain tough. As winter approaches, Avila said the focus shifts to fumigation. “This is when we prep the soil for the next season,” he said. “We're getting ready for fumigation with products like Sectagon to make sure next year's crops start strong.” He also predicted another wet winter — a welcome change for water storage and dormancy cycles. “Cold, wet weather is good for trees,” he said. “They're staying dormant longer and recharging.” Next, Papagni sat down with Sabih Javid, fungicide product manager for Bayer Crop Science, who discussed emerging threats like Red Leaf Blotch in almonds, first identified in 2024. “It's taking 30 to 40 percent of yields in some orchards,” Javid warned. “Our fungicides with FRAC 3, 7, and 11 codes — like the Luna and Adamant lines — are showing the strongest results.” Bayer is also preparing for EPA approval of new Adamant and Xivana formulations, designed for aerial and drone applications. “We're ready for drones — the future is targeted spraying,” Javid said. Javid urged PCAs and retailers to plan early for next season. “Spray at bloom and post-petal fall,” he advised. “Once Red Leaf Blotch sets in, it's too late.” He emphasized that three straight wet winters could increase disease pressure, making timing and precision more important than ever. Finally, Papagni spoke with Gary Thompson, co-founder of GUSS (Global Unmanned Spray System), now a John Deere company based in Kingsburg. Thompson, who grew up in the dairy industry, described how GUSS was born from necessity. “The CEO, Dave Crinklaw, couldn't find enough tractor drivers,” he said. “So he built a tractor that didn't need one.” GUSS machines are now spraying millions of acres across California, using sensors and GPS-guided autonomy to eliminate overspray, reduce labor strain, and improve precision. “Growers can now run fleets of sprayers from a tablet,” Thompson said. “It's about empowering workers — turning tractor drivers into fleet managers.” He announced that John Deere has fully acquired GUSS, giving the company access to nationwide dealer support and expanded manufacturing capabilities. “We started with one model and now have three — GUSS, Mini GUSS, and a herbicide version that spot-sprays weeds to save chemicals,” he said. “The technology is only getting smarter from here.” Papagni wrapped up the program by connecting the dots between these innovators: “Whether it's fertilizers from TK, fungicides from Bayer, or automation from GUSS, California farmers are leading the world in adapting, innovating, and feeding the future.”

EPISODE SYNOPSIS:This episode of The Brilliant Body Podcast features host Ali in an in-depth, compassionate conversation with Darshana Avila, a trauma-informed somatic educator, practitioner, and sexological bodyworker known for her appearance on Sex, Love & Goop. Together, they explore the intersections of sexuality, embodiment, grief, and healing, discussing how slowing down, attuning to one's body, and embracing vulnerability can lead to deeper connection and erotic wholeness. Darshana explains her integrative approach to sexological bodywork—helping clients safely explore pleasure, boundaries, and self-awareness—as well as the broader cultural conditioning that fuels shame, inhibition, and disconnection. Touching on topics from trauma and consent to the cultural devaluation of grief and sensuality, the conversation becomes a profound reflection on how reclaiming our embodied erotic selves is both personal healing and social activism, ultimately a journey toward fuller, freer, and more loving humanityFOR MORE ALI MEZEY:ALI - WebsiteALI - LinkTreeFOR MORE DARSHANA AVILA:BIO:Darshana Avila is a trauma-informed somatic educator, practitioner and international speaker who helps people reconnect with the most essential aspects of themselves — their truth, their desires, and their capacity for authentic connection. Known for her grounded, candid, and relational approach, she bridges the worlds of embodiment, emotional intelligence, and personal agency with depth and accessibility.Darshana's work has been featured on Netflix's Sex, Love & goop, The Guardian, The New Yorker, and numerous leading podcasts including the most downloaded episode of Shameless Sex Podcast in 2024, the goop Podcast and the Sexology Podcast. PROMO LINKdarshanaavila.com (depending on the release date, we might ask that you feature her upcoming retreat darshanaavila.com/radical-rejuvenation)SOCIAL HANDLESinstagram.com/darshana_avilayoutube.com/@darshana-avilalinkedin.com/in/darshana-avilaskool.com/galgasmOTHER RESOURCES, LINKS AND INSPIRATIONS:Betty Martin's The Brilliant Body Podcast episode: The Receiving and Giving Body with Dr Betty Martin, Creator of The Wheel of ConsentLike A Pro: Training for touch professionalsTHE WHEEL OF CONSENT explainedGwyneth Paltrow's SEX, LOVE and GOOPSexological BodyworkCis-women definition: a woman whose gender identity aligns with the sex she was assigned at birth, which was female.

The fear of Chronos' time is a metaphor for being enslaved by deadlines and schedules, while Kairos is the critical moment for decisive action or significant change. It represents a fleeting window of opportunity for decisive action, a "light bulb moment" where conditions are perfect for a crucial act, such as an archer taking a perfect shot or a weaver working through a narrow gap in their loom. The concept is used in various fields to describe the importance of timeliness and seizing the right moment, such as in rhetoric, advertising, journalism, and religious contexts. Vaginismis: Involuntary spasms of the vaginal muscles that make penetration difficult or impossible.[From time to time, a word or phrase goes wonky.

Friends of the Rosary,Today, October 15, the Catholic Church celebrates the Memorial of St. Teresa of Avila (1515-1582).Born in Avila, Spain, in the year 1515, this sixteenth-century Spaniard saint is honored as the "seraphic virgin," virgo seraphica, doctrix mystica, doctor of mystical theology, and teacher of the spiritual life.She reformed the Carmelite Order, with the help of St. John of the Cross, changing most of the Carmelite convents and founding thirty-two reformed convents.She reached the highest degree of prayer and, through prayer, obtained such knowledge of divine things that in 1970 Pope St. Paul VI named her the first woman Doctor of the Church.  Her writings are still the classic works on mysticism. Autobiography of St. Teresa, Interior Castle, and Way of Perfection.Through her mystical union with God, she reached a climax when her heart was transfixed (transverberatio cordis),St. Teresa composed the following well-known lines:Let nothing affright thee,Nothing dismay thee.All is passing,God ever remains.Patience obtains all.Whoever possesses GodCannot lack anythingGod alone suffices.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!
