This week, Brandon mentions the idea of everyday Christians adopting monastic, and specifically Benedictine, approaches to life, and AJ talks about the relationship between the monastic, contemplative life and the active, evangelistic life.
Though the Catholic Church is not new nor immune to scandals and corruption, the premise of an action-filled thriller, Vatican Daughter is sure to stir some controversy.Author Joni Marie Iraci's novel is sure to shock and entertain readers with a story that is based on little-known facts that take us into a cauldron of secrecy, hypocrisy, and power. “When you write about what goes on behind the walls of the Vatican, you realize that, like any corporation, leadership will go to great extent to protect their organization from the public exposure of a scandal, even when the price involves deadly violence.”When the first American pope is about to ascend the throne of St. Peter, he confesses his affair with a female journalist who's about to give birth to his child. The confession given to a corrupt traditional cardinal, sparks a murderous spree as the baby is taken and kept sequestered behind the walls of the Vatican. The injured mother is taken to Venice where she is kept in a Benedictine convent secretly guarded by an unscrupulous Vatican spy.Twelve-years pass before the mother fully recovers. The child, shielded from the outside world, is wise beyond her years and at great risk. She challenges the hypocrisy around her. Under the tutelage of the kindly Bibliotheca of the Vatican Archives, she gains access to hidden Vatican documents and begins to question the validity of Vatican teachings.With vivid detail, Vatican Daughter takes the reader on a suspenseful journey through the cities of Rome and Venice as one woman attempts to expose Vatican treachery and retrieve her kidnapped daughter from behind the walls of the most powerful entity on earth.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Full Text of ReadingsMemorial of Saint Clare, Virgin Lectionary: 413The Saint of the day is Saint Clare of AssisiSaint Clare of Assisi's Story One of the more sugary movies made about Francis of Assisi pictures Clare as a golden-haired beauty floating through sun-drenched fields, a sort of one-woman counterpart to the new Franciscan Order. The beginning of her religious life was indeed movie material. Having refused to marry at 15, Clare was moved by the dynamic preaching of Francis. He became her lifelong friend and spiritual guide. At 18, Clare escaped from her father's home one night, was met on the road by friars carrying torches, and in the poor little chapel called the Portiuncula received a rough woolen habit, exchanged her jeweled belt for a common rope with knots in it, and sacrificed her long tresses to Francis' scissors. He placed her in a Benedictine convent, which her father and uncles immediately stormed in rage. Clare clung to the altar of the church, threw aside her veil to show her cropped hair, and remained adamant. Sixteen days later her sister Agnes joined her. Others came. They lived a simple life of great poverty, austerity, and complete seclusion from the world, according to a Rule which Francis gave them as a Second Order. At age 21, Francis obliged Clare under obedience to accept the office of abbess, one she exercised until her death. hbspt.cta.load(465210, '696def14-21e8-4eb1-857d-6eca58078dc1', {"useNewLoader":"true","region":"na1"}); The Poor Ladies went barefoot, slept on the ground, ate no meat, and observed almost complete silence. Later Clare, like Francis, persuaded her sisters to moderate this rigor: “Our bodies are not made of brass.” The greatest emphasis, of course, was on gospel poverty. They possessed no property, even in common, subsisting on daily contributions. When even the pope tried to persuade Clare to mitigate this practice, she showed her characteristic firmness: “I need to be absolved from my sins, but I do not wish to be absolved from the obligation of following Jesus Christ.” Contemporary accounts glow with admiration of Clare’s life in the convent of San Damiano in Assisi. She served the sick and washed the feet of the begging nuns. She came from prayer, it was said, with her face so shining it dazzled those about her. She suffered serious illness for the last 27 years of her life. Her influence was such that popes, cardinals, and bishops often came to consult her—Clare herself never left the walls of San Damiano. Francis always remained her great friend and inspiration. Clare was always obedient to his will and to the great ideal of gospel life which he was making real. A well-known story concerns her prayer and trust. Clare had the Blessed Sacrament placed on the walls of the convent when it faced attack by invading Saracens. “Does it please you, O God, to deliver into the hands of these beasts the defenseless children I have nourished with your love? I beseech you, dear Lord, protect these whom I am now unable to protect.” To her sisters she said, “Don't be afraid. Trust in Jesus.” The Saracens fled. Reflection The 41 years of Clare's religious life are scenarios of sanctity: an indomitable resolve to lead the simple, literal gospel life as Francis taught her; courageous resistance to the ever-present pressure to dilute the ideal; a passion for poverty and humility; an ardent life of prayer; and a generous concern for her sisters.
