Lumière sur le Festival international Les écrans de l'aventure, le plus ancien festival de films et de livre d'aventure, né à Dijon, qui souffle cette année ses 35 bougies. Du 30 septembre au 4 octobre prochains, ce rendez-vous de l'automne nous invitera à explorer le monde à travers les regards de celles et ceux qui le parcourent, l'observent et le racontent. Un événement d'exception bien ancré à Dijon, qui avait rassemblé 15 000 spectateurs l'an dernier. On se penche sur le programme de cette nouvelle édition avec le coordinateur du festival, Éric Carpentier, au micro de Charlie Chevasson et ensuite, nous partirons en road-trip avec une famille dijonnaise qui a parcouru pendant près de 3 mois 10 000 km autour de l'Adriatique avec sa fille de 8 ans, dont le handicap n'a pas contrarié ses plans mais les a au contraire rendu plus riches. Un témoignage aussi émouvant que souriant et inspirant. Aline Dureux présentera le film de ce road-trip familial à travers l'Europe, intitulé « Charlotte & Co - toujours plus haut », au Cellier de Clairvaux samedi 03/10 à 17h30. Le programme du festival est à retrouver sur www.lesecransdelaventure.com

The homily celebrates the Most Holy Name of Mary, emphasizing her role as our spiritual guide and protector. I highlight St. Bernard of Clairvaux's imagery of Mary as the "Star of the Sea," a radiant light that navigates believers through the turbulent storms of life and temptation. Beyond mere invocation, the homily stresses that the highest form of devotion is the imitation of her virtues, as she is considered the pinnacle of God's creation. By following her example and seeking her intercession, the faithful find a secure path to divine grace and salvation. Ultimately, the reflection encourages a deep, personal connection with the Virgin Mother to transform one's life and ensure a joyous entry into heaven.
Kris McGregor reflects on St. Bernard of Clairvaux's stages of contemplation and how standing firmly on Christ, honest self-knowledge, and trust in God's goodness help us discern his will.

Dr. Tom Curran asks Fr. Kurt Nagel to respond to several quotes by saints, such as: St. Bernard of Clairvaux, St. Pius X and St. Rose of Lima. Tom talks about developing an at-home penitential pilgrimage, inspired by hiking The Camino de Santiago. Fr. Nagel shares insights on the secret of life, the ultimate end, the challenge of modernism, and the danger of unregulated curiosity.Referenced Book:Self-knowledge And Self-discipline by Basil William Maturin
At 22, St. Bernard of Clairvaux showed up at a monastery gate with thirty friends who all wanted to become monks. St. Bernard gave up wealth and comfort to found the monastery of Clairvaux, bringing thirty companions with him. He grew close to Jesus through Lectio Divina — slowly praying with Scripture until it opened like a door — and through a tender devotion to Our Lady, whom he called the aqueduct of God's grace. He went on to found 68 monasteries and became known as the "honey-sweet Doctor." "We want to become monks." ⭐Following St. Bernard's example doesn't have to end when the episode does.

Today’s Topics: 1, 2, 3, 4) William discusses all about the great Saint Bernard of Clairvaux (1090 – 1153), Abbot and Doctor of the Church
Friends of the Rosary,We honor today Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, Abbot and Doctor of the Church (1090-1153).He was a Cistercian abbot known for deep prayer, love for Jesus and Mary, and his teaching on loving God.The monastic rule, which he perfected at Clairvaux, became the model for 163 monasteries of the Cistercian reform. He was a theologian, poet, orator, and writer. He is one of the last Church Fathers, the apostle of the Crusades, the reconciler of kings, and a counselor of popes. The celebrated Memorare prayer is ascribed to him.In the Gospel today (Matthew 22:1–14), Jesus compares the Kingdom to a wedding feast, inviting us to accept God's invitation with a changed heart.The invitation is wide and generous, but it must be received seriously. We cannot come to God casually, distracted, while refusing to be changed by grace.We pray to the Lord, with the intercession of St. Bernard, to cleanse our hearts and make them new, removing what is hard and fill us with His Spirit.Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

Fr. Chris Alar, MIC reflects on the remarkable life and spirituality of St. Bernard of Clairvaux, Abbot and Doctor of the Church—a mystic and contemplative who was also deeply involved in the political and Church affairs of his time. Known for his profound Marian devotion, St. Bernard even appears in Dante's Paradiso as the final spiritual guide who leads Dante through Mary toward his vision of God and eternity. Fr. Chris also highlights the powerful devotion associated with the Shoulder Wound of Christ, traditionally connected with St. Bernard. We are invited to contemplate the hidden suffering Jesus endured on His shoulder while carrying the heavy Cross for us. This devotion reminds us that following Christ means accepting our own crosses with faith and love, trusting that our suffering, united with His, can lead us closer to God and ultimately to the joy of eternal life.

13 You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt lose its savour, wherewith shall it be salted? It is good for nothing any more but to be cast out, and to be trodden on by men.Vos estis sal terrae. Quod si sal evanuerit, in quo salietur? ad nihilum valet ultra, nisi ut mittatur foras, et conculcetur ab hominibus. 14 You are the light of the world. A city seated on a mountain cannot be hid.Vos estis lux mundi. Non potest civitas abscondi supra montem posita, 15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under a bushel, but upon a candlestick, that it may shine to all that are in the house.neque accedunt lucernam, et ponunt eam sub modio, sed super candelabrum, ut luceat omnibus qui in domo sunt. 16 So let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.Sic luceat lux vestra coram hominibus : ut videant opera vestra bona, et glorificent Patrem vestrum, qui in caelis est. 17 Do not think that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets. I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill.Nolite putare quoniam veni solvere legem, aut prophetas : non veni solvere, sed adimplere. 18 For amen I say unto you, till heaven and earth pass, one jot, or one tittle shall not pass of the law, till all be fulfilled.Amen quippe dico vobis, donec transeat caelum et terra, jota unum aut unus apex non praeteribit a lege, donec omnia fiant. 19 He therefore that shall break one of these least commandments, and shall so teach men, shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven. But he that shall do and teach, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.Qui ergo solverit unum de mandatis istis minimis, et docuerit sic homines, minimus vocabitur in regno caelorum : qui autem fecerit et docuerit, hic magnus vocabitur in regno caelorum.[17] "To fulfill": By accomplishing all the figures and prophecies; and perfecting all that was imperfect.[18] "Amen": That is, assuredly of a truth. This Hebrew word, amen, is here retained by the example and authority of all the four Evangelists. It is used by our Lord as a strong asseveration, and affirmation of the truth.St Bernard was born of noble Bergundian parents. He was a monk of the Cistercian Order, a branch of the Benedictine Order. He became Abbot of a famous monastery of Clairvaux, which he founded. He produced writings and sermons and letters that rendered invaluable services to the Church. He also preached the second crusade and died at Clairvaux in 1153.
Courtney Brown, Executive Director of the Ruah Woods Institute, joins the Son Rise Morning Show to explore the influence of St. Bernard of Clairvaux on the Church's understanding of the Song of Songs and its connection to St. John Paul II's Theology of the Body. They discuss the profound bridal imagery of Christ and His Church, the meaning of the human body as a sign of God's love, and the connection between the Song of Songs and Ephesians 5. Courtney also explains how St. Bernard's emphasis on the gift of self helps illuminate John Paul II's teaching on marriage, human sexuality, and ultimately Christ's total self-gift on the Cross.Support the show: https://www.sacredheartradio.com/donate-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Inspired with this confidence,I fly unto thee,O Virgin of virgins, my Mother,to thee I come,before thee I stand sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate!despise not my petitions,but, in thy mercy, hear and answer me. Amen. ***** RECIPES FROM RITA: ZUCCHINI BREAD Double chocolate zucchini bread/cake Ingredients:1 -1/2 cups shredded zucchini1 cup all purpose flour – I use King Arthur unbleached1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted1 teaspoon baking soda1/4 teaspoon baking powder1/4 teaspoon salt1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon1/4 teaspoon allspice1/2 cup canola oil1/2 cup sugar1/2 cup light brown sugar2 large eggs1 teaspoon vanilla3/4 cup semi- sweet chocolate chips Instructions:Preheat oven to 350. Spray 9 x 5 loaf pan. Set aside shredded zucchini. Whisk together flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and allspice. Set aside. Beat oil, sugars, eggs, and vanilla until well blended and fold in zucchini. Add flour mixture, mixing just until combined. Fold in chips. Bake until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, about 55 to 65 minutes. Place on wire rack to cool 10 minutes, then remove and finish cooling. Large Batch moist and marvelous zucchini bread with Chai essence Ingredients:3 cups grated unpeeled zucchini (squeeze moisture out before measuring and pack zucchini firmly into measuring cups)3 cups sugar1-1/2 cups vegetable oil – I used canola4 large eggs2 teaspoons vanilla3-1/4 cups all purpose flour1 teaspoon cinnamon2-3 teaspoons dry Chai tea blend – 2 will give a mild taste; 3 a more robust taste2 teaspoons baking powder1 teaspoon baking soda1/2 teaspoon salt1-1/4 cups chopped nuts – optional – I used toasted pecans InstructionsPreheat oven to 350.Spray 2 large loaf or 3 regular loaf pans.Mix zucchini, sugar, oil, eggs and vanilla. Beat on medium speed 2 minutes.Combine flour, cinnamon, Chai blend, baking powder, baking soda, salt and nuts together. Add to zucchini mixture and blend well.Pour into prepared pans. Bake on middle rack 45 minutes to one hour or until done. A toothpick inserted deep into center will come out clean. My 2 large loaf pans took 55 minutes to bake. Tips:Ball bat sized zucchini works great If you grow zucchini, you know it can go from slender to ball bat size seemingly overnight. Overgrown zucchini has good flavor and shreds up just fine. Can you peel zucchini? I don’t, but Cheryl Bullis, a professional baker from Clermont County, does peel her zucchini before measuring. Squeeze hard to get moisture out. Zucchini is notorious for a high moisture content which can make batter too runny. Add nuts to dry ingredients; This insures that the nuts stay suspended throughout the bread and prevents them from sinking to the bottom of the loaf. ***** Full list of guestsSupport the show: https://www.sacredheartradio.com/donate-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Full Text of Readings Memorial of Saint Bernard, Abbot and Doctor of the Church Lectionary: 422 The Saint of the day is Saint Bernard of Clairvaux Saint Bernard of Clairvaux's Story Man of the century! Woman of the century! You see such terms applied to so many today—“golfer of the century,” “composer of the century,” “right tackle of the century”—that the line no longer has any punch. But Western Europe's “man of the twelfth century,” without doubt or controversy, had to be Bernard of Clairvaux. Adviser of popes, preacher of the Second Crusade, defender of the faith, healer of a schism, reformer of a monastic Order, Scripture scholar, theologian, and eloquent preacher: any one of these titles would distinguish an ordinary man. Yet Bernard was all of these—and he still retained a burning desire to return to the hidden monastic life of his younger days. In the year 1111, at the age of 20, Bernard left his home to join the monastic community of Citeaux. His five brothers, two uncles, and some 30 young friends followed him into the monastery. Within four years, a dying community had recovered enough vitality to establish a new house in the nearby valley of Wormwoods, with Bernard as abbot. The zealous young man was quite demanding, though more on himself than others. A slight breakdown of health taught him to be more patient and understanding. The valley was soon renamed Clairvaux, the valley of light. His ability as arbitrator and counselor became widely known. More and more he was lured away from the monastery to settle long-standing disputes. On several of these occasions, he apparently stepped on some sensitive toes in Rome. Bernard was completely dedicated to the primacy of the Roman See. But to a letter of warning from Rome, he replied that the good fathers in Rome had enough to do to keep the Church in one piece. If any matters arose that warranted their interest, he would be the first to let them know. Shortly thereafter it was Bernard of Clairvaux who intervened in a full-blown schism and settled it in favor of the Roman pontiff against the antipope. The Holy See prevailed on Bernard of Clairvaux to preach the Second Crusade throughout Europe. His eloquence was so overwhelming that a great army was assembled and the success of the crusade seemed assured. The ideals of the men and their leaders, however, were not those of Abbot Bernard, and the project ended as a complete military and moral disaster. Bernard of Clairvaux felt responsible in some way for the degenerative effects of the crusade. This heavy burden possibly hastened his death, which came August 20, 1153. Reflection Bernard's life in the Church was more active than we can imagine possible today. His efforts produced far-reaching results. But he knew that they would have availed little without the many hours of prayer and contemplation that brought him strength and heavenly direction. His life was characterized by a deep devotion to the Blessed Mother. His sermons and books about Mary are still the standard of Marian theology.Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media
Kris McGregor joins Anna Mitchell to reflect on the wisdom of St. Bernard of Clairvaux from the Office of Readings for his feast day. Drawing from Bernard’s reflections on the Song of Songs, they explore the truth that God is the source and fountainhead of love, why we can never love God as much as He loves us, and how our spiritual lives begin with simply returning to Him again and again.Support the show: https://www.sacredheartradio.com/donate-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send us Fan MailWerewolf the Podcast: Belphastus the Sorcerer Revealed | Ancient Evil, Dark Magic & Horror (Episode 273)Belphastus the Unclaimed finally reveals the horrifying truth about what he is — an ancient sorcerer who has survived for thousands of years by feeding on human fear, hatred, misery and despair.In this dark fantasy horror episode of Werewolf the Podcast, Belphastus tells his story in his own words. Long before modern civilisation, he discovered that human suffering could become a source of supernatural power. Fear made him stronger. Hatred gave him energy. But despair was the greatest nourishment of all.Over thousands of years, Belphastus learned that he did not need to create every war, plague or tragedy himself. He only needed to manipulate people. A suggestion placed in the right mind could turn neighbours against one another, transform fear into hatred and turn hatred into violence.But Christianity presented Belphastus with an unexpected enemy: love, forgiveness and hope.His encounter with Bernard of Clairvaux, the medieval Christian saint and Cistercian monk, becomes one of the most important moments in his long existence. Bernard does not respond to Belphastus with hatred or revenge. Instead, he offers compassion and forgiveness — something Belphastus finds far more dangerous.Now hiding in the ancient Brotonne Forest, Belphastus begins rebuilding his supernatural power. With the help of Pier, he prepares an ancient stone circle and uses a forgotten forest spirit to create something monstrous.His plan is simple.Create fear.Turn fear into anger.Turn anger into hatred.Turn hatred into violence.And turn violence into despair.Because despair belongs to Belphastus.Featuring ancient sorcery, dark magic, medieval horror, Christian mythology, forest spirits, supernatural monsters and the continuing mythology of Werewolf the Podcast, this episode reveals the origins and methods of one of the series' most dangerous characters.Belphastus has spent thousands of years manipulating humanity.Now he is ready to begin again.And somewhere in the ancient forest, something is waiting to be unleashed.Werewolf the Podcast: A Serial (Killer) Drama is a dark horror fiction podcast combining supernatural horror, dark fantasy, mythology, historical fiction and very British black humour.Written by Fenrir Thorvaldsen and Gregory Alexander-Sharp.

St. Hildegard of Bingen was one of the most remarkable women of the Middle Ages—a Benedictine abbess, mystic, theologian, composer, writer, and student of the natural world. But she also has an unexpected connection to something many people still enjoy today: beer.In this episode of FACTS, we explore the life of St. Hildegard, from her childhood visions and monastic formation to her rise as one of the most influential religious voices of the twelfth century. We'll look at her writings, her relationship with figures such as St. Bernard of Clairvaux and Pope Eugene III, her work in medicine and natural science, her music, and the remarkable influence she exercised over bishops, popes, and political leaders.We'll also examine the story behind “The Nun Who Changed Beer.” Hildegard did not invent beer or hops, but in her Physica she recorded one of the most famous medieval observations concerning hops and their ability to keep beverages from spoiling. At a time when monasteries were important centers of agriculture, medicine, hospitality, and brewing, Hildegard's writings give us a fascinating glimpse into the development of medieval beer.So how much did St. Hildegard actually change brewing? Why is she so closely associated with beer today? And how did a twelfth-century Benedictine nun eventually become a Doctor of the Church?If you'd like to donate to our ministry or be a monthly partner that receives newsletters and one on one discussions with Dr. Stephen Boyce, here's a link: https://give.tithe.ly/?formId=6381a2ee-b82f-42a7-809e-6b733cec05a7
The monthly series called "What Are the Sisters Reading?" continues with Sister Emily Beata Marsh, FSP, who shares about a book called "Saint Bernard's Three Course Banquet: Humility, Charity, and Contemplation in the De Gradibus" by Father Bernard Bonowitz as he reflects on Saint Bernard of Clairvaux's short classic, "The Steps of Humility and Pride" (De gradibus humilitatis et superbiæ).

Today on Ascend: The Great Books Podcast, Deacon Garlick invites you into a rich, methodical exploration of eros: the primal desire to satiate in beauty and be happy. What if the restlessness in your soul—the endless craving for more beauty, more fulfillment, more rest—is not a curse but a divine gift?Reclaiming Holy Eros https://www.theascent.io/p/reclaiming-holy-erosWomen as Icons of God, Beauty-itself https://www.theascent.io/p/the-beauty-of-woman-as-an-icon-ofPorn as a Poor Expression of Eros https://www.theascent.io/p/the-poor-erotics-of-porn Far from the pornographic or puritan distortions that dominate modern thinking, this ancient concept runs like a golden thread through Homer, Hesiod, Plato's Symposium, the Old and New Testaments, the Church Fathers, Dante, and even Pope Benedict XVI's Deus Caritas Est. Deacon shows how eros is the very question of the human condition—an upward call that moves the soul from lesser beauties to greater ones until it finds rest in Beauty itself.Drawing on his own spiritual labors, the host walks listeners through Plato's ladder of love, the marital imagery of God's covenant with Israel, the Song of Songs, Christ's union with the Church, and the harmony between erotic ascent and the self-giving love of agape. Along the way he recovers a lost grammar of desire that is both natural and supernaturally elevated by grace—one that produces virtue, fecundity, and genuine theosis. The result is not abstract theory but a living path: a latticework upon which your own understanding of restlessness, happiness, and the call to become more Christlike can grow.Whether you have wrestled with the restlessness of the heart, wondered how pagan wisdom and Christian revelation speak to one another, or simply want a deeper vision of love that orders the soul toward God, this conversation offers something rare: a beautiful, coherent tradition that answers the deepest questions of what it means to be human. Listen, and begin the ascent.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Eros and its significance in Christian spirituality01:54 Eros in Homer, Hesiod, and the primordial cosmos07:12 Plato's Symposium and the ladder of love15:07 Eros in the Old Testament: Marriage and divine love20:00 Eros in the New Testament: Christ and the Church30:06 Eros and the ascent to divine beauty40:11 Eros, virtue, and happiness in Christian thought50:02 Eros and grace: the divine ascent and participation in God01:00:10 The harmony of eros and agape in Christian life01:10:08 Practical implications: loving God and neighbor through eros01:20:01 Conclusion: recovering holy eros as the heart of human and divine loveKeywordsHoly Eros, Christian eros, Plato Symposium ladder of love, divine beauty, eros and agape, Deus Caritas Est Pope Benedict XVI, Song of Songs, marital imagery God and Israel, Christ bridegroom Church bride, Ephesians 5, St Augustine restless heart, Gregory of Nyssa, bridal mysticism, Bernard of Clairvaux, John of the Cross, Diotima, ascent to God, theosis, pagan and Christian erotics, Homer Hesiod Aristotle eros, natural and supernatural love, virtue and beauty, Ascend Great Books Podcast, Deacon Harrison Garlick, reclaiming holy eros, spiritual ascent, rest in God.
There's a new Niles in the world. Joshua Benedict Rex was born this week, and Dave wants you to know how stressful it all was. For the dad, that is. The pressure. The anxiety. All those things. None of which come to mind right now. Joke's on Dave, though, because Lady Pamela got to the birth center, the midwife offered to break her water, and Joshua arrived eleven minutes later. That's boy number three, bringing the count to three boys and four girls. Adam got the "we're going in" text at the hospital, stopped to pray, and barely beat the birth. The baby's a content little guy. A stereotypical Niles baby, the spitting image of baby Davy. Baptism's in a couple weeks with Uncle Father Sean, godparents are Sarah and Drew, and somewhere in there is a real theology question the guys throw to the priests who listen: can you name godparents after the fact for a baby baptized in a rush? Asking for a Mary.That birth set the whole table. Every time a baby comes into this circle of friends, the men pull their money, buy one nicer bottle of whiskey, sign it with the kid's name, and drink it together. They call it the "baby bottles" tradition. It blends friends into family. And it's exactly the kind of gift that makes you grateful, which is what this whole episode is about.They're recording on a Friday, the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart, the same day the bishops of America consecrated the entire country to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The pour is Glendalough, a pot still Irish whiskey the guys actually visited on pilgrimage. Triple distilled by law, smooth, no burn, and oddly cheap. The bottle shows St. Kevin in cruciform, a bird nesting in his open hand. The pious legend says he held that prayer posture so long the eggs hatched. Jim's scale (Irish edition): 3.96 out of 6.Then the meat: gratitude. Not the bumper-sticker kind. Gratitude is a virtue, a sub-virtue of justice, because it renders to another what's due, first to God who gave us everything. Aquinas lays out three degrees: recognition, expression, repayment. Most of us fail at the first one. We take the morning, the clothes, the breath for granted. St. Bernard calls ingratitude a scorching wind that dries up the streams of grace. God pours, the man doesn't return thanks, the flow stops.The hardest, most masculine turn in the episode is receiving. Men hate it. I don't need your charity. I can carry this cross. But refusing a gift graciously offered isn't humility. It's a wall. Adam's lived on the receiving end through Mary's time in the NICU, and he's learned the Christian paradox: the more graciously indebted you are, the richer your life, because the score is never even. That's not a debt to clear. That's a brotherhood.And the punchline ties it all together. Eucharist means thanksgiving. A man of gratitude is a Eucharistic man. You can't repay God for creating you, so He came down, became one of us, and offered Himself on your behalf. All you have to do is show up. Protect, provide, establish, and give thanks. Raise your glass.TOPICS COVEREDJoshua Benedict Rex Niles is born, baby boy number three, bringing the Niles count to three boys and four girlsDave's tongue-in-cheek case that the dad has it hardest in childbirthLady Pamela's eleven-minute birth at the birth center after the midwife broke her waterThe "kingship" theme running through the Niles boys' names: David, Joseph, and now Joshua Benedict RexWhy every Niles baby is a "cookie cutter" content baby, and Joshua looking just like baby DavyThe wonder that a child somehow looks like both mom and dad, "only God could make a baby look like both"Baptism plans with Uncle Father Sean and godparents Sarah and DrewThe open question for the priests who listen: can you name godparents after the fact for a baby baptized in a rush?The "baby bottles" tradition, the men pooling money for a signed bottle of whiskey to honor each new babyWhy this kind of tradition blends friends into familyRecording on the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart, and the U.S. bishops consecrating the country to the Sacred Heart of JesusWhiskey of the week: Glendalough pot still Irish whiskey, triple distilled and smoothThe legend of St. Kevin of Glendalough, the bird's nest in his hand and his love of all God's creaturesWhy Irish whiskey is the most approachable place to start, and surprisingly cheapJim's scale (Irish edition): 3.96 out of 6"Better than I deserve, I'm sure," Adam's go-to answer to "how are you?"The man at the pharmacy who'd just lost his wife, and never knowing what people are carryingGratitude as a virtue, and specifically a sub-virtue of justiceThe book of Job as the model of gratitude to the core: "the Lord has given and the Lord has taken away"Why a member of the Body of Christ is doing well no matter what else is going wrongAquinas's three degrees of gratitude: recognition, expression, repaymentWhy recognition is the weak spot for most people, the habit of taking things for grantedThe internal act of the will toward the benefactor as the heart of repaymentThe humility it takes to receive a gift, and why most men refuse charityHow receiving a gift graciously multiplies joy and binds a community togetherThe Christian paradox of being "graciously indebted," and why the score is never evenSt. Bernard of Clairvaux on ingratitude as a burning wind that dries up the streams of graceDeacon Garlick's prayer of thanks as a model for opening prayerMeditating on the magnitude of the Incarnation, the worm-and-the-man analogyWhy real men don't complain or "vent," and complaining as carrying the cross while griping about its weightDying for your family is easy; living for your family is hard, the little deathsAre you willing to get up, eat right, moderate your drinking, and put the phone down for your family?The Malcolm Gladwell mentorship lesson and the hidden cost of remote work, tribal knowledge not getting passed downWhy none of our best fatherhood or business "hacks" are original, and the duty to pass them onSt. John Chrysostom and St. Thérèse of Lisieux: gratitude as the superpower of the soulWhy you won't become holy without the habit of gratitude"People need to be reminded more than they need to be instructed"Keeping the right perspective so you don't live in a false reality the devil wants for youEucharist means thanksgiving, a man of gratitude is a Eucharistic manREFERENCED IN THIS EPISODEBooks & Writings:The Book of Job (the model of gratitude through suffering)The Summa Theologiae by St. Thomas Aquinas, Second Part of the Second Part (the three degrees of gratitude; ingratitude as sin)Malcolm Gladwell's work on mentorship and learning a craft (referenced by Adam)Saints & Church Fathers:St. Thomas Aquinas (the three degrees of gratitude; gratitude as a sub-virtue of justice)St. Bernard of Clairvaux (the "leaky vessel"; ingratitude as a burning wind that dries up the streams of grace)St. Kevin of Glendalough (the bird's-nest legend; love of God's creatures)St. John Chrysostom ("gratitude is the superpower of the soul")St. Thérèse of Lisieux (gratitude and the spiritual life)Simon of Cyrene (carrying the cross with Christ)People:Adam Minihan (host; founder of M6 Marketing; writes The Grounded Builder on Substack)Jim (in studio, keeper of the yummy scale)Lady Pamela Niles (delivered baby number seven)Joshua Benedict Rex Niles (newborn), David Jr., and Joseph Niles (the "kingship" names)Baby Mary Minihan (still in the NICU, the gifts and prayers received)Uncle Father Sean (baptizing Joshua); Sarah and Drew (godparents)Deacon Garlick (his prayer of thanks)Programs & Institutions:The Catholic Man Show pilgrimage (where the guys visited Glendalough)Glendalough Distillery, IrelandSPONSOR BLOCKSponsor: Select International Tours: selectinternationaltours.comWhen Adam and Dave decided to lead their first pilgrimage, one name kept coming up: Select International Tours.

Send us Fan MailA Taster Episode from my "History of The Christian Church Podcast". 2000 years of Christian thought told through the ideas of its greatest thinkers....This is my latest episode: No 37. Episode, Season 3 - The Medieval Church - Episode 9.Welcome:What happens when the church becomes too clever? What happens when faith is no longer something to be lived, but something to be analysed? That is the world we stepped into with Peter Abelard in our last episode. But not everyone welcomed that change, because, amid that rising tide of intellectual confidence, another voice began to speak. His name was Bernard of Clairvaux. And these two worldviews would collide. The world of the philosopher…. and the world of the monk. Their conflict would not just shape their own lives, but it would shape the direction of medieval theology itself. And this still matters because, at its core, this is not just a story about the twelfth century. It is a story about every generation of the church. So, join me in today's episode…. As we step into the life, the passion, and the fierce convictions of Bernard of Clairvaux.The man who stood against the rising tide of intellectualism and called the church back to what, well, maybe to the heart of the Christian faith.For a complete list of sources and references used in the production of this episode, please visit my FREE Patreon page.Support the showThis podcast is not associated with the Bible Project YouTube channel or any other associated podcasts that use the name 'Bible Project'.

What if sustainable leadership begins not with strategy but with fullness? In this episode, Gem Fadling reflects on Bernard of Clairvaux’s image of the reservoir and contrasts it with the canal model of leadership. Looking at the example of Jesus, who often withdrew to pray despite growing demands, this conversation invites leaders to rediscover depth, overflow, and spiritual sustainability. If you desire influence without burnout, this episode offers both inspiration and practical next steps. _________________________________________ Connect with Gem on Instagram and learn more on the Unhurried Living website and her new book, Hold That Thought: Sorting Through the Voices in Our Heads Learn about PACE: Certificate in Leadership and Soul Care Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.
“Medieval psychology” might sound nearly a millennium out of date, irrelevant to modern science, with its reassurances of cognitive data and peer-reviewed studies. But we often say that Shakespeare's 400-year old plays communicate the human condition, and that wouldn't be possible if the Bard didn't have a deep understanding of what makes our minds tick. Rewind the clock just 200 years further and you'll find, with the help of a Middle English glossary, that the autobiographical writings of Julian of Norwich and Margery Kempe—not to mention Chaucer—seem achingly familiar in their yearning, their humor, and their determination. We're not so different, mentally, from our forebears, and beyond literature, medieval writings on morality and psychology have a lot to offer us. But since cracking open a vellum manuscript to read cramped Latin text is beyond most of us, historian Peter Jones can be our guide in his new book, Self-Help from the Middle Ages. And the starting point for much medieval guidance on living a better life is quite familiar: the Seven Deadly Sins, which were less a catalog of forbidden behaviors than a path to self-knowledge. Just ask Dante.

In Episode 32, we continue with St. Bernard of Clairvaux's On Loving God and reflect on the healing of love in God. Bernard teaches that the soul can be so purified by grace that even love of self is no longer anxious or self-seeking, but rightly ordered in God. In light of the Holy Rule of St. Benedict, this episode explores how humility, obedience, prayer and perseverance make room for this hidden restoration.

Nearly 30 anti-popes have risen across two millennia of Church history. In times of deepest confusion, even saints found themselves on opposing sides. St. Catherine of Siena confronted cardinals backing a false pope. St. Vincent Ferrer supported the wrong claimant during the Western Schism. St. Bernard of Clairvaux rallied kings against a rival. None remained silent.Dr. Ed Mazza joins to walk through these battles from his book Saints Versus Anti-Popes, drawing the line from medieval crises to the present. The question now is not whether a pope can be a bad man, history is full of them. The question is whether a pope can formally teach heresy while exercising his authority. No saint or major theologian ever taught that.The discussion moves through Marian apparitions at Akita, the warnings of Malachi Martin, and the possibility of apostasy "at the top." But the conclusion is not despair. The Church has survived anti-popes, schisms, and centuries of confusion. She will survive this.

Curiosity can be the opposite of self-centeredness—but only when it's paired with respect, trust, and appropriate vulnerability. In this episode, Joe Rockey and Father Boniface Hicks unpack the difference between “healthy and holy curiosity” and being “nebby” (nosy), and why that line matters in friendships, marriage, and sales. They also connect it to the life of faith: softening the heart so communion becomes possible under God.Key IdeasCuriosity builds relationships when it's rooted in genuine care, not extraction or control.Vulnerability is required for intimacy, but it must match the level of trust that exists.“Nebby” curiosity (nosiness) seeks power or gossip—without shared vulnerability or mutual goodwill.A curious, kind stance toward yourself (and your “parts”) can reduce contempt and grow calm, compassion, and communion.In sales, curiosity becomes a “cheat code” when it serves the person—not the commission—and when it respects boundaries.Links & References (official/source only) Judith Glaser / CreatingWE Institute (Transformational conversation article):https://creatingwe.com/news-blogs/articles-blogs/shifting-to-transformational-conversation-for-best-resultsIFS Institute (Internal Family Systems):https://ifs-institute.com/St. Bernard of Clairvaux (Steps of Humility and Pride – publisher preview PDF):https://tanbooks.com/content/3318_Preview.pdfCTA: If this helped, please leave a review or share this episode with a friend.

Friends of the Rosary,Saints are like anyone else, despite how we consider them as spiritual heroes preserved from our day-to-day activities. They struggled with the same things we do, and loved the same things we do. They are not simply models to be admired.There are saints in ordinary life, in art and poetry, in motherhood, psychology, and even politics. There is a huge diversity. Each one uniquely reflects some aspect of the divine reality.The only difference is that they were smart enough to understand that what finally matters is having a holy life by being the person that God wants us to be.Above all, the saints are friends of God.And we can find a saint who is like every one of us.Léon Bloy wrote, "There is only one sadness, and that is not to be saints."Let's keep in mind that only people in heaven will be saints.Bishop Barron wrote about the diversity of saints:"There is Thomas Aquinas, the towering intellectual, and there is the Curé d'Ars, who barely made it through the seminary. There is Vincent de Paul, a saint in the city, and there is Antony, who found sanctity in the harshness and loneliness of the desert. There is Bernard, kneeling on the hard stones of Clairvaux in penance for sins, and there is Hildegard of Bingen, singing and throwing flowers, madly in love with God. There is Peter, the hard-nosed and no-nonsense fisherman, and there is Edith Stein, secretary to Edmund Husserl and colleague to Martin Heidegger, one of the most famous philosophers of the twentieth century. There is Joan of Arc leading armies, and there is Francis of Assisi channeling peace. There is the irascible Jerome and the almost too sweet Thérèse of Lisieux. There is Catherine of Siena, who stood up to popes, and Celestine V, who only reluctantly became pope. There is the grave and serious Bruno, and there is Philip Neri, whose spirituality was based on laughter."Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!
