The Benedictus, or Canticle of Zechariah, is a prophetic hymn from Luke's Gospel, chanted daily at Lauds. In this deep dive, we unpack the Benedictus line by line, one of the longest and most theologically rich Latin Learning Guides we've produced. This canticle, spoken by Zechariah after regaining his voice, reveals a sweeping vision of salvation history: from Abraham's covenant to the coming Messiah. The Benedictus is not only a lyrical masterpiece but also a catechetical summary of God's mercy, covenant fidelity, and the dawning of redemption. Each Latin phrase is paired with memory hooks and etymological cues to help you or your children learn and reflect deeply. We'll explore the symbolic power of terms like "cornu salutis" (horn of salvation), "oriens ex alto" (the dawn from on high), and how Latin reveals the heart of Catholic theology. Whether you're praying the Divine Office or deepening your scriptural devotion, this episode offers clarity and context. Help us restore sacred tradition and bring timeless prayers to new ears.

She had a sister named Mary, who was sitting at the Lord's feet and was listening to his Word. But Martha was distracted with all her serving. She came over and said, “Lord, don't you care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her to help me.” The Lord answered and told her, “Martha, Martha, you are worked and upset about many things, but one thing is needed. In fact, Mary has chosen that better part, which will not be taken away from her.” (EHV) - Devotion - Did You Think to Pray: Ere you left your room this morning, Did you think to pray? In the name of Christ our Savior, Did you sue for loving favor, As a shield today? [Chorus] O how praying rests the weary! Prayer will change the night to day; So when life seems dark and dreary, Don't forget to pray. When your heart was filled with anger, Did you think to pray? Did you plead for grace, my brother, That you might forgive another Who had crossed your way? When sore trials came upon you, Did you think to pray? When your soul was bowed in sorrow, Balm of Gilead did you borrow At the gates of day? - Neil Harmon / M.A. Pepper Kidder - The Collect (p. 108) - The Canticle: p. 108 - Hymn 182 - One Thing Needful!

The $740,000 question is a podcast from Plain Talk producer Matt Fern. Making movies in North Dakota is hard. Unless you're one company with powerful connections. In the premiere episode of The $740,000 Question, filmmaker Matt Fern unpacks how a single production company, Canticle Productions, received $700,000 in taxpayer-funded film grants from the North Dakota Department of Commerce. With no state film office, no tax incentives, and virtually no infrastructure, how did this happen and why? Matt traces the timeline of payments starting with a $40,000 stock footage deal in 2017, a $100,000 grant in 2021 with no public process, and a $600,000 grant in 2023 awarded after just six business days of competitive bidding. The eligibility criteria? What looks like a copy-paste of Canticle's website. Through public records, media reports, and insider interviews, this podcast reveals a process marked by secrecy and a total lack of accountability. With little answers from state officials, the governor's office, or Canticle Productions itself, Fern asks the question no one in power seems willing to: How is all of this legal?
