In this hour, Matt Pauley talks with Rob Rains, getting his thoughts on Chaim Bloom's end of season presser yesterday. Then he talks with Stu Durando to get the latest on the Robbie Avila saga. All that and more during this hour of Sports Open Line!
Today, on the feast day of St. Thérèse of Lisieux, we reflect on her spiritual journey and the pursuit of holiness in everyday life. I highlight how the young Carmelite nun clarified to a visiting Jesuit priest her ambition to become a saint like St. Teresa of Avila. She eventually became a celebrated Doctor of the Church through her renowned "little way." Drawing parallels, the discourse encourages ordinary believers to embrace their own divine calling by relying entirely on God's grace in their daily routines. Listeners are reminded that, much like the disciples Jesus sent out, they act as instruments of faith who must actively share Christ's teachings in society. Ultimately, the message urges individuals to appreciate their unique life circumstances, recognize their personal vocation, and spread divine love and peace through humble, everyday actions.

Send us Fan MailPrayer can feel like one more thing to “get done,” but that mindset quietly drains it of power. We sit down with Father Stephen Sanchez, a Discalced Carmelite priest, and walk through the Carmelite tradition to recover what prayer actually is: a living relationship with Jesus Christ that changes your desires, your choices, and the shape of your life.We connect the dots from the Rule of St Albert and the early hermits of Mount Carmel to the church's struggle through war, famine, and the Black Death, including why the Carmelite rule was mitigated in 1432. From there we follow the fire that refused to die out, especially in the “Institution of the First Monks,” with its two aims for the spiritual life: purity of heart and real experiential awareness of God's presence. That thread leads straight to St Teresa of Avila's reform, her insistence on smaller communities, and her longing for friends of God who are truly “good ones.”Then we bring it home with the core of Carmelite spirituality today: contemplative prayer as relationship, not a checklist. We talk about the practical marks of healthy Christian spirituality, including concrete love for the poor, community life, vulnerability, and the hard work of letting go of control. We also unpack why Teresa and John of the Cross lean on bridal and friendship language and how desert spirituality forces a choice between comfort and conversion.If you're hungry for a deeper interior life, this conversation is for you.

Lisa Avila spent fifteen years in the wine industry, left to do migrant Head Start and advocacy work with families the system was failing, quit when COVID made the impossible impossible, and built a business strategy and nonprofit strategy practice on the other side of all of it. She works mostly with women. The question they all arrive with is the same one she had to answer for herself: now what?In this conversation, Ashley and Lisa talk about the nonprofit trap — the idea that wanting to make an impact means you have to be a martyr about it — why women who help people deserve to make real money doing it, what it's like to be sandwiched between kids and aging parents at the same time, and what the next right step looks like when you've spent decades outpouring and finally have some space to ask what you actually want.In This EpisodeMom of three boys, fifteen years in the wine industry, migrant Head Start director — how Lisa got hereThe COVID moment that made her quit — and why her boss didn't understand until she had kids of her ownThe nonprofit trap — why women who want to make an impact keep being told it has to be unprofitableWhy you can make a lot of money and still help people — and why we need to stop acting like those are oppositesThe golden handcuff — when the organizations saying “we support women” require them to be nonprofits to qualifyWhat migrant Head Start actually looks like — and what happens to student records when families move across the countryThe political reality of advocacy in a conservative agricultural town in CaliforniaRed cards, rights, and what's changed for immigrant families since COVIDThe Panini generation — being sandwiched between kids and an eighty-one year old mother, in perimenopauseThree boys 17, 19, and 20 — what it's like when two come home from college for the summerThe client going global with her nonprofit — four years from a Facebook group to international impactThe client who sat on her cancer journey poems for seven years and finally published themWhat the “now what” looks like — the question every woman Lisa works with is askingNon-negotiables: a bath every night, coffee, a walk, girlfriends who keep it realThe airstream barbecue and dive bar tour — her plan for empty nest lifeQuotes From This Episode“Why can't we make a lot of money and still help people?

Just outpour, outpour, outpour. And what did it get me?”— Lisa Avila“Your impact can't just be outpouring. It has to be self-sustaining.

Blessed Anne of Saint Bartholomew (1550–1626) was a Carmelite mystic and as a close companion of Teresa of Ávila, her right-hand woman. Her extraordinary encounters with Christ began in childhood and continued through religious wars in France. From visions of the Infant Jesus when she was a child tending sheep to serving as Teresa's nurse, secretary, and companion, Anne's life straddled profound mystical contemplation and the demanding realities of founding and governing convents. Her autobiographies and hundreds of letters reveal a woman who endured spiritual darkness, ecstasy, visions, and intense experiences of God's presence while carrying the Carmelite reform far beyond Spain.If you would like to order a copy of Dr. Carlos Eire's latest book, "They Flew: A History of the Impossible," you can order a copy HERE (Yale University Press) or HERE (Amazon).

Are you racing through life and still feeling like you're falling behind? On this week's episode of Love University, Dr. Avila introduces Micro-Patience, the art of being calm and steady in small moments until patience grows into an unstoppable force. Micro-Patience helps you calm Inner Rush, the negative inner voice that says you must move faster because time is running out. As you develop pockets of serenity throughout your day, you begin living according to the natural rhythm of your loving energy. You calmly accomplish all that needs to be done each day. Here are three ways Micro-Patience can elevate your life: Defeat Inner Rush One Moment at a Time Instead of constantly rushing to beat the clock, Micro-Patience shows you another way to live. By being relaxed and unhurried in the present moment, you focus more clearly on what actually needs your attention. You also become more empathetic toward others because you take time to listen and understand them. As the pressure to rush diminishes, you discover that Micro-Patience can actually make you more effective because your actions are more focused and your decisions are more precise. Trust the Loving Timing of Your Life Micro-Patience gives you the confidence to wait for the right opportunity instead of rushing into the wrong relationship, career move, or financial decision because you're afraid of missing out. You recognize that your life has its own rhythm and that your progress does not have to match anyone else's timetable. Whether you move quickly or require more time to reach an important goal, you remain confident in your path. Ultimately, Micro-Patience becomes an expression of your self-love because you trust that what you truly need will arrive at the proper time as you continue doing your part. Embrace the Flow of Patience Micro-Patience teaches you to move with life instead of constantly trying to overpower its timing. Like a river naturally finding its way to the ocean, you learn to harmonize with circumstances while continuing toward your goals. When your mind is no longer clouded by the urgency of Rush, answers that once seemed hidden suddenly become clear. You recognize when to act decisively and when to allow events to develop. Living in this peaceful rhythm gives you greater freedom to love yourself and others while pursuing your dreams with steady determination. All you have to do is embrace Micro-Patience and let your dreams unfold in their perfect time.

Todas crecimos creyendo que las mariposas en el estómago eran la señal. Que la intensidad era amor. Que si dolía, era porque valía la pena.En este episodio, Ale Ávila —autora de "El amor es la llave"— cuenta cómo después de 11 años de matrimonio y un divorcio entendió que eso que sentía no siempre era amor: muchas veces era su herida buscando repetirse.Hablamos de por qué tantas mujeres nos perdemos a nosotras mismas por sostener una relación, por qué queremos "salvar" a nuestra pareja, y de cómo el control es, en el fondo, miedo al abandono. También de lo que casi nadie dice en voz alta: la sexualidad que nos vendieron Hollywood y la pornografía, el sistema que nos enseñó que calladitas nos vemos más bonitas, y cómo Ale encontró después de su divorcio una versión de sí misma mucho más salvaje, más conectada con su cuerpo y más deseosa.Si alguna vez dijiste "jamás vuelvo a dejarme sentir así" y desde entonces solo metes el dedo a la alberca, este episodio es para ti.En este episodio:Por qué las mariposas pueden ser la herida y no el amorDescentralizar al hombre sin cerrarte al amorEl papel de "salvadora" y por qué destruye la relaciónSoltar el control: la historia de sus dos partosLo que haces en la cama lo haces en la vidaSexualidad después del divorcio: placer, cuerpo y libertadSexo, amor y conciencia: la trinidad del tantraCapítulos00:00 Lo que vas a escuchar01:22 "El amor es la llave": por qué escribió el libro04:50 Las relaciones como catalizador de transformación06:00 El divorcio después de 11 años de matrimonio07:00 Descentralizar al hombre: lo que casi nadie entiende08:54 Para que exista amor, tiene que haber orden09:58 El síndrome de la salvadora: salvar no es amar11:28 Tu pareja no es tu hijo, ni tu proyecto15:06 Disney, Hollywood y la sexualidad falsa que nos vendieron19:37 Control: la historia de sus dos partos25:18 Lo que haces en la cama lo haces en la vida28:25 El control es miedo a que te abandonen30:12 "Si se va, voy a estar bien"31:45 Meter el dedo a la alberca vs. echarse el clavado34:04 Por qué abrir el corazón siempre vale la pena40:10 El amor propio mal entendido42:06 Sexualidad después del divorcio44:23 Sexo, amor y conciencia: la trinidad45:12 Rapid fireCuéntanos en comentarios: ¿qué es el amor para ti y qué es lo que más trabajo te cuesta en este espacio?

Lyrics Below I wrote “Give Me Eyes to See” in the tradition of a simple folk song I wrote this song -we sang it my church it was written as a prayer to sing- a prayer with a melody, or as Teresa de Avila said, "singing is praying twice!"—direct, repetitive, and easy to sing—then expanded it with Mozart-style Classical orchestration. At its heart, the song is a prayer for spiritual clarity, obedience, and a heart surrendered to God. The repeated Hallelujahs form a simple call and response, leading into the central prayer: “Give me eyes to see, give me ears to hear, I want to do Your will.” As the song unfolds, the words turn toward praise of Jesus and the holiness of the Lord, while the orchestration grows around the simple folk foundation with classical guitar, flute, strings, woodwinds, horns, piano, timpani, counterpoint, ornamentation, and fully developed orchestral passages.

Send us Fan MailFive women saints. Five very different roads to God. One invitation that lands close to home: holiness is possible for ordinary Catholics, not just spiritual superheroes. We tell the stories of the Church's most beloved women saints because their lives don't float above real life they cut straight through it, lighting up what faithful prayer, courage, and love look like when circumstances get messy.We start with Saint Teresa of Avila, the Carmelite reformer and Doctor of the Church whose writing on interior prayer still reads like a roadmap for anyone battling distraction, dryness, or doubt. Then we turn to Saint Rita of Cassia, beloved as the Saint of Impossible Cases, whose life of suffering and forgiveness helps us bring our hardest relationships and most stubborn problems to God with hope. Saint Clare of Assisi shows how hidden faith can be fearless, especially through her trust in the real presence of Jesus in the Eucharist, while Saint Catherine of Siena models bold charity and truth telling as she serves the sick and speaks to leaders during a time of division. Finally, Saint Therese of Lisieux, the Little Flower, reframes sanctity with the Little Way: doing small things with great love until ordinary life becomes an offering.Journeys of Faith carries forward the tradition of Bob and Penny Lord by making the saints easier to know and easier to follow.

And with a case to be decided in Cook County, and a recent windfall for the Tigers down the road, what's next for the Billikens and their (former) star Robbie Avila.
Why does modern morality often feel like an exhausting, impossible burden rather than an inspiring way to live? Are we all required to be perfect "moral exemplars," or is there a strong philosophical case for simply living a decent life?Dr. Todd May, the Nielsen Professor of the Humanities at Warren Wilson College (Asheville, NC), joins host PJ Weary to discuss how we can rethink our moral obligations and expectations in a highly demanding world.Dr. May explores the realistic boundaries of human goodness in his book, A Decent Life: Morality for the Rest of Us. They examine how genuine decency doesn't demand extreme altruism or austere self-sacrifice—like donating a kidney to a stranger just to maximize utility—but rather requires a "moral gracefulness" that allows us to care for others while still enjoying rich, meaningful human lives.In this conversation they explore:

I first became aware of Mirabai because of her books about – and translations of – some of the pre-eminent Christian mystics—John of the Cross, Julian of Norwich, Teresa of Avila—and later interviewed her about her other excellent books, such as Wild Mercy, which is about female mystics from different traditions, Caravan of No Despair, which is about her own heart-wrenching loss and the transformation that can come from grief, a subject she's helped a great many people deal with in workshops and online programs, and Ordinary Mysticism: Your Life as Sacred Ground. She's back now with a revised and expanded edition of her 2012 book, God of Love: A Guide to the Heart of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. As always with Mirabai, the conversation offers much to learn and much to feel.

This week on the Son Rise Morning Show, Matt Swaim welcomes Catholic historian Kevin Schmeising, author of A Catholic Pilgrimage Through American History, for a look at two important moments in Catholic history. Kevin recounts how St. Teresa of Avila founded the Convent of St. Joseph in 1562, beginning the reform that would lead to the Discalced Carmelites and inspire the work of St. John of the Cross. He also looks at the Catholic history of Idaho and the establishment of the Diocese of Boise on August 25, 1893, including the work of the Jesuit missionaries who first brought the Catholic faith to the region. From the Catholic Reformation in 16th-century Spain to the growth of the Church in the American West, this episode highlights the people and events that helped shape the Catholic Church in history.Support the show: https://www.sacredheartradio.com/donate-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sister Loretta-Maria, a traditional Carmelite nun working to establish a new monastery in High Springs, Florida, joins John-Henry Westen to discuss the crisis facing the Church and the response of faithful Catholics who refuse to abandon tradition. She explains how the traditional Carmelite structure preserves the spirituality and practices handed down by St. Teresa of Avila, navigates present confusion with the support of Bishop Athanasius Schneider, and commits to contemplative prayer for priests and bishops.The conversation turns to the division between faithful shepherds and those she describes as "queer-minded bishops", a distinction she uses to highlight the growing conflict over homosexuality, Pope Leo XIV's direction, and the suppression of the Traditional Latin Mass. Sister Loretta-Maria argues that Catholics must remain obedient to God, Sacred Tradition, and authentic Catholic teaching—even when contemporary authorities demand the contrary.She describes the suppression of traditional Catholic practices as a form of modern-day "white martyrdom". She urges Catholics to pray, defend the faith, raise strong Catholic families, and preserve the Latin Mass. She also calls for the Pope and the world's bishops to consecrate Russia specifically to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, arguing that Russia's conversion remains the promised sign that Our Lady's request has been fulfilled.HELP SUPPORT WORK LIKE THIS: https://give.lifesitenews.com/?utm_source=SOCIAL U.S. residents!

Full Text of Readings Nineteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 115 The Saint of the day is Saint Teresa Benedicta of the Cross Saint 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, Teresa Benedicta of the Cross 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 Teresa Benedicta of the Cross 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 of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media
Jamie Smith is a Reformed philosopher — one of the first to put a Catholic mystic in the title of a book and then proceed to argue that it was the contemplative tradition that brought him back to a flourishing form of faith on the far side of a series of nerdy dead ends. Make Your Home in the Luminous Dark is his most personal and, I would argue, most beautiful book. It began the day, more than a decade ago, when Jamie was in the depths of a severe depression his analytical philosophical training could not think its way out of, and his wife came home from a garage sale with a battered used copy of The Dark Night of the Soul and told him he should read it. What that began — St. John of the Cross, Teresa of Avila, Meister Eckhart, Merton — is what this book bears witness to. It is a book about the mystics saving Jamie's faith. It is also a Reformed philosopher's argument that the cultural liturgies project he is best known for needs a prior undoing before its formative work can do anything at all. As I told Jamie in the hour, this is a book that made me feel uncomfortable about how much I enjoyed it. We covered the apophatic/cataphatic distinction with the twist Jamie puts on it, the way certainty is still Cartesian even when it calls itself pious, the trad-wife/manosphere as snorting modernity while claiming to have escaped it, Charles Taylor's Cosmic Connections as the real sequel to A Secular Age, and what to do when Distraction Inc. has fully occupied the inner room. The platform is the plantation. Come sit with this one and check out the book. You can WATCH the conversation on YouTube About our guest Dr. James K.A. Smith is Professor of Philosophy at Calvin University in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where he holds the Gary and Henrietta Byker Chair in Applied Reformed Theology and Worldview. He earned his PhD at Villanova University under John D. Caputo. He served as editor of Comment magazine (2013–2018) and as editor-in-chief of Imagejournal (2019–2024). His new book is Make Your Home in the Luminous Dark. His previous books include the Cultural Liturgies trilogy — Desiring the Kingdom, Imagining the Kingdom, and Awaiting the King — as well as You Are What You Love: The Spiritual Power of Habit, How (Not) to Be Secular: Reading Charles Taylor, On the Road with Saint Augustine, How to Inhabit Time, and his early philosophical work Speech and Theology.

Eric Avila quit racing, but he didn't quit the sport altogether.The 2021 USATF Road Mile champion spent eight years with Adidas before walking away in 2024. This included a torn plantar fascia, a contract offer attached to a marathon move he didn't want, and a competitive fire that quietly fizzled out. What surprised him wasn't missing the racing. It was losing the structure that had organized every morning of his adult life.Now he runs a sports group out of Southern California, and he's direct with Dominic about how the money actually works. They talk about why you have to be roughly top ten in your event before anyone pays you, why high school NIL deals are a separate marketing bubble most athletes are built to age out of, and why the scholarship (not the shoe deal) is the realistic prize for nearly every kid. He also guesses at Josh Kerr's world-record bonus and weighs whether the sport will ever shed its contract NDAs.The back half is a coaching clinic.Avila builds training backwards from racing, argues most high schoolers show up with exactly one pitch, and caps his senior boys near 45–50 miles a week while loading the quality inside it. He walks through the traffic-light plan he gives athletes mid-race, what he taught a young Hobbs Kessler about leaning into pain, and why he'd rather an athlete learn to win than learn to time trial.Underneath all of it is one idea borrowed from European soccer: a real academy pipeline, built here, for runners.Tap into the Eric Avila Special.

Full Text of Readings Monday of the Seventeenth Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 401 The Saint of the day is Saint Titus Brandsma Saint 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 Brandsma 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 of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media
