None of it will be ours; it will be you shining on others through us. Let us thus praise you in the way that you love best by shining on those around us. Let us preach you with preaching: not by words but by our example, by the catching force, by sympathetic influence of what we do, the evident fullness of the love our hearts bear to you.

Tell my soul that so longs for you what else you are besides what it has already understood, so that it may see you clearly. It stands on tiptoe to see more, but apart from what it has seen already, it sees nothing but darkness. Of course it does not really see darkness, because there is no darkness in you, but it sees that it can see no further because of the darkness in itself… If I fail to see this light it is simply because it is too bright for me… O supreme and inaccessible light, O complete and blessed truth, how far you are from me, even though I am so near to you! How remote you are from my sight, even though I am present to yours! You are everywhere in your entirety, and yet I do not see you; in you I move and have my being, and yet I cannot approach you; you are within me and around me, and yet I do not perceive you. ***** Full list of guestsSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Other guests include Steve Ray on coins and money in the Bible, and Kris McGregor to reflect on a selection from the Office of Readings. Plus news, weather, sports, and more… ***** Prayer for priests O Jesus, I pray Thee for Thy faithful and fervent priests; for Thy unfaithful and tepid priests; for Thy priests laboring at home or abroad in distant mission fields; for Thy tempted priests; for Thy lonely priests; for Thy dying priests; for the souls of Thy priests in purgatory. But above all I commend to Thee the priests dearest to me; the priest who baptized me; the priests who absolved me from my sins; the priests at whose Masses I assisted, and who gave me Thy Body and Blood in Holy Communion; the priests who taught and instructed me, or helped and encouraged me; all the priests to whom I am indebted in any other way, particularly N. O Jesus, keep them all close to Thy Heart, and bless them abundantly in time and in eternity. Amen. ***** Deacon Steven Greydanus’ 16-panel salvation story, Hand to Hand, can be found here.

This week, Jake and Bob conclude their series on deliverance and healing by welcoming Fr. Boniface Hicks, OSB to the show. Together, they explore deliverance, not as a fixation on removing darkness, but as the ongoing work of living in the freedom of God's love. Fr. Boniface reframes spiritual warfare using the analogy of relationships and stories, and how our identities are shaped by our understanding of truth and love. They address common fears and misconceptions about spiritual warfare that have been fueled by culture and the practical role of prayer in helping us find the freedom Christ desires for us.   Key Points: Deliverance is fundamentally about freedom in God's love, not removing evil. Every person carries a story that deserves to be heard and healed. Evil spirits try to limit our story but God seeks to bring it to its fullness. Deliverance is an ongoing process, not a one-time event. True deliverance draws us deeper into the love story of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Spiritual warfare is primarily a battle over truth, belief, and identity. Love has the power to loosen spiritual oppression and restore freedom. Prayer is most powerful when it is relational rather than formulaic. Belief is not merely intellectual—it is lived, embodied trust.   Resources: Fr. Boniface's Website   Chapters: 00:00 Introduction 03:10 The Basics of Deliverance 08:58 Deliverance is the Process to Freedom 16:00 Our Fascination with the Spiritual World 24:01 The Subtle Movements Away from Good Lead to Disintegration 34:27 The Battle for Our Stories 43:46 Do Our Prayers Have Power?   Connect with Restore the Glory:  Instagram: @restoretheglorypodcast  Twitter: @RestoreGloryPod Facebook: Restore the Glory Podcast   Never miss out on an episode by hitting the subscribe button right now!
