Went to a Garden Party. In this episode, we read a homily by St. Aelfric of York for Midlent Sunday. Aelfric sermonizes about the earthly and heavenly meaning of Jesus' feeding of the five thousand — its symbolism, historical import, and how loaves and fishes exegete the Old Testament books themselves. This and many, many wilderness wanderings in this episode of the podcast.

“If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities, Lord, who could stand? But there is forgiveness with you, so that you may be revered.” Psalm 130: 3-4 Submit a Podcast Listener Question HERE! Podcasts by Series Level One Book Study Level Two Book Study “To ‘build the house' which morality will inhabit, some mastery of the body is necessary” (Spontaneous Activity in Education, 7: Will, 147 “We must always give the children “the big picture” that informs and sustains immediate behaviors. Bracketing for a moment all we have said up to this point about presenting the kerygma, what foundation would moral exhortation rest upon without kerygma? If moral exhortation were left to stand alone, if good behaviors were taught for their own sake, it would be like preparing robots who know and follow rules instead of persons who participate in God's plan for the fullness of life.” (RPCII, 94) “We must remember that Christian morality is a morality of “you can.” Through the grace of God and the power of the Holy Spirit, “we can”; or, in the words of St. Paul, “I can do all things through him who strengthens me” (Philippians 4:13).” (RPCII, 88) Carolyn joins the conversation today to walk us through how morality evolves and progresses in a child's life and how we can meet those needs in all levels of the atria. Carolyn Kohlhaas is a nationally recognized Formation Leader for CGS at all three levels of formation. She received her Bachelor of Arts Degree in Theology and in Religious Education from Franciscan University of Steubenville and her AMI Primary (3-6) and Elementary (6-12) Level Certifications from the Montessori Training Center of Minnesota.

Cosmic Debris. In this episode, we read Dr. John Kleinig on Christ and cosmic restoration. We then discuss how and why Christians confuse mysteries with secrets, what happened to the mystagogues, and why the mystery of the Christian faith has to do with the hidden presence of Christ with us here on earth and our restoration by his restoration of all creation. This episode, as Kleinig himself writes, is about how we can best commend the Christian faith to post-modern people, which is when we ourselves are captivated imaginatively by the wonder of it and live in the mystery of it.

Is Mary the New Eve in Scripture? In this episode of YouTube Catechesis, we examine the biblical case for Our Blessed Mother as the New Eve, parallel to Christ as the New Adam. Rather than relying on later theological development, this episode turns directly to Scripture in its original languages: Hebrew, Greek, and Latin, to examine the grammatical precision embedded in the text itself. We walk through three scriptural anchors: • Genesis 3:15 the Protoevangelium and the promise of the Woman and her seed • Romans 5:19 St. Paul's Adam, Christ typology and reversal through obedience • John 19:26 “Woman, behold your son” at the foot of the Cross By examining the specific use of “woman” in Genesis and John's Gospel, and by following St. Paul's typological method in Romans, we consider whether the New Eve parallel is revealed in the structure of Scripture itself. This episode is explanatory and scriptural in focus, grounded in the language of the biblical text rather than later speculation. In the Patreon-only deep dive, we explore how the earliest Christians recognized and spoke about this New Eve typology long before the Reformation.

Music Credit: 3MDEHDDQTEJ1NBB0 Welcome back to another episode of YouTube Catechesis, where we look to scripture for corroboration on the titulos languages. Pontius Pilate inscribed "jesus christ" on the cross in "biblical hebrew", "koine greek", and Latin, highlighting their sacred use. This episode emphasizes the grammatical precision of these ancient languages, offering insights for "language learning" and a deeper understanding of "new testament" contexts. #neweve #Genesis315 #CatholicScripture #Typology #blessedmother

The Theology of the Body (Continued)
Fr. Evan is joined by show producer Mike once again to answer your questions on if the Eucharist is a re-sacrifice, whether or not the Orthodox consider Mary a mediator between God and the faithful, if non-Orthodox are considered Christians by the Church, what makes a council "Ecumenical," clergy attending Liturgy at parishes undercover, Fr. Evan's thoughts on A.I., and postponing Catechesis until kicking a nicotine habit on this Mailbag edition of Orthodoxy Live!
EVERYTHING is religious! That's not a problem; that's the world God created. The problem is when we don't see it. Just because we fail to take interest in the spiritual doesn't mean the spiritual fails to take an interest in us. And over the course of time, 6 days of work and television and socials and friends and culture will overcome an hour on Sunday every single time. The way of Christ requires a choice.
Fr. Mike emphasizes that God did not have to do anything for us after the Fall, yet he sent us his only Son, and through his Son, we have received grace upon grace. We learn that the transmission of the Christian faith consists of proclaiming Jesus Christ to lead others to faith in him. If we are called to teach him, we must first have a relationship with him. Just as the Apostles burned with a desire to spread the Good News, we too are called to catechize and deliver the word of Christ as his spokesmen on Earth. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 422-429. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/ciy Please note: The Catechism of the Catholic Church contains adult themes that may not be suitable for children - parental discretion is advised.

Podcasts by Series Level One Book Study Level Two Book Study “The religious needs and capacities of older children are no less great or essential than those of younger children. Their religious potential is no less strong; rather, it is expressed through the new capacities of their own stage of development.” - Sofia Cavalletti, The History of the Kingdom of God, Part 1, Pg. 173 Rebekah joins us on the podcast today to discuss the Spiral Method and how it applies to our work in CGS. Rebekah Rojcewicz is a catechist and formation leader in the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd having completed her training in 1981 in Rome with Dr. Sofia Cavalletti and Gianna Gobbi. She has translated several of their books and articles from the original Italian and has written and edited various parts of the CGS core texts. She is also the author of Life in the Vine: The Joyful Journey Continues. Rebekah is a catechist at her parish, St. Patrick Catholic Church, and for the Missionaries of Charity atrium in Memphis, Tennessee. She serves on the formation advisory council for CGSUSA, as well as on the International Board for the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd. Characteristic #3 - The atrium is a community in which children and adults live together a religious experience which facilitates participation in the wider community of the family, the church, and other social spheres. The atrium is a place of prayer, in which work and study spontaneously become meditation, contemplation, and prayer. The atrium is a place in which the only Teacher is Christ; both children and adults place themselves in a listening stance before his Word and seek to penetrate the mystery of the liturgical celebration. “The pilgrimage of faith is not a journey in a straight line with death waiting at the end, but a kind of spiral through which progress is made only in successively deeper experiences of death and rebirth.” - Mark Searle Books you might be interested in: The Religious Potential of the Child 6 to 12 Year Olds History of the Kingdom of God Part 1: Creation to Parouisa History of the Kingdom of God Part 2: Liturgy and the Building of the Kingdom Life in the Vine: The Joyful Journey Continues Podcast Episodes you might be interested in: Episode 42 – The Mystery of Time Episode 57 – Celebrating the Life of Tina Lilig TINA LILIG MEMORIAL FUND During the month of February, we remember our first national director, Valentina Lillig, and we honor her legacy by encouraging generosity to the Tina Lillig Memorial Fund.

Salvation History, Part 1 | Catechesis by Fr. Kris Schmidt
Catechesis is an intentional process that forms us as disciples of Christ. But it's not a "smorgasbord" of spiritual options, but a path that we walk in the way of Christ. It reminds us of our identity with Christ, and enables us to live like Christ lived. This Lent, set out on this intentional journey to follow Jesus!
In this Lenten catechesis, Father Peter George Flynn explores Psalm 50 (Miserere), the greatest of the Seven Penitential Psalms.

A Church as Big as the Cosmos! In this episode, we enter into Lent with a reading from C.S. Lewis' The Discarded Image. We discuss the medieval understanding of life, the universe, and everything— how it can help the churches today deepen their "vision" of how God orders the universe, the church, and the human being. We converse about the Grail legend, how God's Word encounters and changes people, being lost in the Garden, how Christ ministers through others, and being annoyed by death.

In this episode of our German Reformation series, Dr. James Spencer and Dr. Greg Quiggle pivot to one of the defining features of Protestant tradition: the Reformation Solas—and why they still matter for Christians today. Rather than beginning with a list of “five solas,” Greg frames the Reformation around three theological questions that generated the solas: What is the Church? (ecclesiology) How am I saved / how do I stand before God? (soteriology) Who or what has ultimate authority to define belief and practice? (authority) From there, Greg explains the contrast between 16th-century Roman Catholic and 16th-century Protestant answers—especially the difference between church-as-organization (a hierarchical structure) and church-as-organism (the priesthood of all believers). That “priesthood” isn’t only about rights; it also includes responsibility—the idea that ministry is not a spectator sport, and that clergy exist chiefly to equip the saints through the Office of the Word. The conversation then traces how the solas flow from these questions: Sola Scriptura (Scripture alone as final authority) Sola Fide (justification by faith alone) Solus Christus (Christ alone) and how these reshape Protestant ideas of salvation, grace, and the church’s mediating role. James also presses into a key modern confusion: “Bible alone” does not mean “my interpretation alone.” Both hosts argue that the Reformation assumed a teaching office, catechesis, and doctrinal boundaries—something many modern churches have lost. They connect this to contemporary debates about faith as mere intellectual assent versus faith as a way of lifemarked by trust, repentance, and fidelity. This episode includes discussion of: The three Reformation questions behind the solas Church as organism vs. church as organization Priesthood of all believers: rights and responsibilities The “Office of the Word” and why it still matters Catholic sacramental mediation vs. Protestant justification by faith Why authority (Sola Scriptura) is the “non-negotiable” dividing line Faith as lived trust and repentance—beyond a one-time decision Why modern American Protestant individualism isn’t the same as Reformation Protestantism Quotelos Travel offers small, expert-led “Tours for Ten” that provide an intimate and unforgettable way to explore church history and culture with guides who truly know the locations.

Podcasts by Series Level One Book Study Level Two Book Study Rebekah joins us on the podcast today to discuss chapter 2 of The Religious Potential of the Child 6 to 12 year Olds on the Mystery of Time. Rebekah Rojcewicz is a catechist and formation leader in the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd having completed her training in 1981 in Rome with Dr. Sofia Cavalletti and Gianna Gobbi. She has translated several of their books and articles from the original Italian and has written and edited various parts of the CGS core texts. She is also the author of Life in the Vine: The Joyful Journey Continues. Rebekah is a catechist at her parish, St. Patrick Catholic Church, and for the Missionaries of Charity atrium in Memphis, Tennessee. She serves on the formation advisory council for CGSUSA, as well as on the International Board for the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd. Characteristic #3 - The atrium is a community in which children and adults live together a religious experience which facilitates participation in the wider community of the family, the church, and other social spheres. The atrium is a place of prayer, in which work and study spontaneously become meditation, contemplation, and prayer. The atrium is a place in which the only Teacher is Christ; both children and adults place themselves in a listening stance before his Word and seek to penetrate the mystery of the liturgical celebration. “The pilgrimage of faith is not a journey in a straight line with death waiting at the end, but a kind of spiral through which progress is made only in successively deeper experiences of death and rebirth.” - Mark Searle Books you might be interested in: The Religious Potential of the Child 6 to 12 Year Olds History of the Kingdom of God Part 1: Creation to Parouisa History of the Kingdom of God Part 2: Liturgy and the Building of the Kingdom Life in the Vine: The Joyful Journey Continues Podcast Episodes you might be interested in: Episode 42 – The Mystery of Time Episode 57 – Celebrating the Life of Tina Lilig TINA LILIG MEMORIAL FUND During the month of February, we remember our first national director, Valentina Lillig, and we honor her legacy by encouraging generosity to the Tina Lillig Memorial Fund.

The Religious Potential of the Child is not a “how-to” book, complete with lesson plans and material ideas. Instead it offers a glimpse into the religious life of the atrium, a specially prepared place for children to live out their silent request: “Help me come closer to God by myself.” Here we can see the child's spiritual capabilities and perhaps even find in our own souls the child long burdened with religious information. This book serves as a companion to the second volume, The Religious Potential of the Child 6 to 12 Years Old.

Hungry Like The Wolf. In this episode, we read a sermon from 11th-century bishop Wulfstan. The main themes in the Sermon of the Wolf to the English (also often referred to by its Latin title, Sermo Lupi ad Anglos) are corruption and sin. These themes are apparent as Wulfstan chastises the English people for their corruption and warns of God's anger and wrath, which is sure to come: "Understand also well that the Devil has now led this nation astray for very many years." He sees that the devil has played a huge part in influencing the English to sin ("Wulfstan"). Wulfstan also strongly believes that the people need to repent, as God is extremely upset and disappointed by the people's actions on Earth.

On this episode of 2414, Shane and Pastor Dan center the conversation on the comfort and confidence found in the LCMS confession that Jesus Christ is true God and true man.They explore what it means to confess that the eternal Son of God took on real human flesh at the Incarnation, remains both God and man after the resurrection and ascension, and reigns even now for our salvation. The discussion unpacks the communication of attributes, clarifies why the church rejects errors such as adoptionism and subordinationism, and shows how Scripture, the Apostles' Creed, and Luther's Small Catechism safeguard the biblical teaching about who Jesus is and what He has done.Rather than treating doctrine as abstract theory, Shane and Dan emphasize doctrine as clear, life-giving teaching meant to give Christians assurance: only God could bear the sins of the world, and only as man could Christ suffer, die, and rise in our place. This is the heart of our comfort—Jesus chose to save, keeps His promises, and remains “one of us” who understands human suffering.Along the way, they share a few everyday highlights and play a light game featuring songs with U.S. cities in the title, but the focus remains on slowing down, listening well, and speaking clearly about the faith we confess.Want to talk about your faith, share your story, or ask questions on a future episode?Book a recording time with us here:https://outlook.office.com/book/Ge29a5d453add4d478471a0c1bf208af9@stlukes-church.com/?ismsaljsauthenabledDon't forget to continue the conversation at home, in the car, at work, or anywhere you can find someone to talk to!

The University of Notre Dame received a $50 million grant from the Lilly Endowment to work toward developing a faith-based approach to AI ethics. That grant landed in the university's Institute for Ethics and the Common Good, which is spearheading this work. My guest today is the institute's Director of Research and External Engagement—my good friend Adam Kronk.Our discussion is about establishing the kind of practice-based formation for promoting human flourishing in the AI age. It is about education, faith communities, and public engagement. It is about becoming ever more intentional about knowing what our ends are and judging our means accordingly. It is about setting the right conditions for responsible and creative agency.This is the first part of a two-part discussion with Adam, with the second focusing even more intently on issues related to education, under the looming promise of tacos.Follow up resources:Notre Dame's Institute for Ethics and the Common Good“The Next Wave of Artificial Intelligence and Our Humanity, with Stephanie DePrez,” podcast episode via Church Life Today“What is Man that AI is Mindful of Him,” by Jeffrey Bishop, journal article via Church Life JournalChurch Life Today is a partnership between the McGrath Institute for Church Life at the University of Notre Dame and OSV Podcasts from Our Sunday Visitor.

Fight the Power! In this episode, we learn from pastor and theologian Helmut Thielecke about the gods we worship, the God that encounters us, and what technology actually does to us. What do Satan's temptations teach us about Jesus, God's Word, piety, and making sense of mystery? Is Christianity supposed to be a sensible religion? What kind of "opium" does the evil one offer us to lead us away from the Truth? What is distinctive about the worshippers of the God of power? What happens when technology becomes a means of power rather than merely a tool? What does God's fight for the world look like, and how does it conclude?

Does the Bible really teach that souls go straight to Heaven with no purification after death? In this episode of YouTube Catechesis from The Latin Prayer Podcast, we take a new approach, not standard apologetics, but letting the Latin sources themselves make the case. Rather than arguing from modern summaries, this episode returns to the foundations: • Sacred Scripture in the Latin Vulgate • Prayer for the dead in the Latin tradition • The Roman Canon of the Mass We examine three key Latin witnesses: • 1 Corinthians 3:15 — salvation quasi per ignem, “as through fire” • 2 Maccabees 12:46 — prayer pro mortuis, for the dead • The Roman Canon — praying for the departed to receive a place of refreshment, light, and peace Taken together, these texts show that the Latin tradition does not teach only two destinations after death. Scripture, liturgy, and prayer all assume purification, and the Church has always prayed accordingly. This episode marks the beginning of a new format for YouTube Catechesis on this channel, moving beyond surface-level apologetics and asking a deeper question: What does the Latin itself say?

In this episode of The Catholic Man Show, Adam and David discuss the essential role of fathers in catechizing their children... not just by teaching information, but by forming habits, traditions, and a lived love for the Catholic faith.Adam shares a personal update about his family and the power of prayer and community during a time of serious medical uncertainty. From there, the conversation turns to what real catechesis looks like in the home: modeling prayer, creating a culture of beauty, building liturgical traditions, and making the Eucharist the center of family life.The guys explore why passing on the faith is less about producing kids who can pass a religion test, and more about raising children who know God is real and worth ordering their entire life around.Topics include:Why fathers are primarily responsible for catechesisThe difference between knowing the faith and loving the faithTeaching children how to pray by exampleUsing beauty, art, and the home to form soulsWhy habits and traditions matter more than programsMaking the Eucharist the source and summit of family lifeSupport The Catholic Man Show: www.patreon.com/thecatholicmanshowThank you to our sponsor: Select International Tours

The Religious Potential of the Child is not a “how-to” book, complete with lesson plans and material ideas. Instead it offers a glimpse into the religious life of the atrium, a specially prepared place for children to live out their silent request: “Help me come closer to God by myself.” Here we can see the child's spiritual capabilities and perhaps even find in our own souls the child long burdened with religious information. This book serves as a companion to the second volume, The Religious Potential of the Child 6 to 12 Years Old. The desire to have this essential text available in audio has been a long-held goal for many. The work of many hands has combined to bring this release to life as an audiobook.

The Hangman's Nous. In this episode, we read an excerpt from The Maniac, by G.K. Chesterton, followed by Myth Became Fact, from C.S. Lewis' book of essays, "God in the Dock." The primary question we discuss, then, is whether men and women can live a healthy and sane life with mystery, without myth, and without higher truth. What has happened to modern churches that exorcised mystery from preaching, teaching, evangelism, and worship? What anchors the Body of Christ when it's unmoored from Church history and tradition? What have been the consequences for churches that treat the Christian story as more fantasy than fact? What does Lewis mean that God is "mythopoeic"? What does it mean that Christianity is, according to Lewis, "perfect myth and perfect fact"?
