Today’s Topics: 1) Gospel – Luke 9:46-50 – An argument arose among the disciples about which of them was the greatest.  Jesus realized the intention of their hearts and took a child and placed it by his side and said to them, “Whoever receives this child in My Name receives Me, and whoever receives Me receives the One Who sent Me. For the one who is least among all of you is the one who is the greatest.” Then John said in reply,  “Master, we saw someone casting out demons in Your Name  and we tried to prevent him because he does not follow in our company.” Jesus said to him,  “Do not prevent him, for whoever is not against you is for you.” Memorial of Saint Lawrence Ruiz and Companions, Martyrs Memorial of Saint Wenceslaus, Martyr Saints Wenceslaus, Lawrence, and Companions, pray for us!

Recorded 30th November 2024In this inspiring discourse, we explore the divine pastimes and esoteric identity of Sri Nityananda Prabhu, reading from Dr. O.B.L. Kapoor's The Companions of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.Why did Nityananda Prabhu—a renunciant—wear opulent jeweled ornaments and silk cloth? How did Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu defend His actions against critics? And why is the mercy of the Spiritual Master (Guru-tattva) essential for reaching the Divine?

17 And coming down with them, he stood in a plain place, and the company of his disciples, and a very great multitude of people from all Judea and Jerusalem, and the sea coast both of Tyre and Sidon,Et descendens cum illis, stetit in loco campestri, et turba discipulorum ejus, et multitudo copiosa plebis ab omni Judaea, et Jerusalem, et maritima, et Tyri, et Sidonis, 18 Who were come to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases. And they that were troubled with unclean spirits, were cured.qui venerant ut audirent eum, et sanarentur a languoribus suis. Et qui vexabantur a spiritibus immundis, curabantur. 19 And all the multitude sought to touch him, for virtue went out from him, and healed all.Et omnis turba quaerebat eum tangere : quia virtus de illo exibat, et sanabat omnes. 20 And he, lifting up his eyes on his disciples, said: Blessed are ye poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.Et ipse elevatis oculis in discipulis suis, dicebat : Beati pauperes, quia vestrum est regnum Dei. 21 Blessed are ye that hunger now: for you shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for you shall laugh.Beati qui nunc esuritis, quia saturabimini. Beati qui nunc fletis, quia ridebitis. 22 Blessed shall you be when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake.Beati eritis cum vos oderint homines, et cum separaverint vos, et exprobraverint, et ejicerint nomen vestrum tamquam malum propter Filium hominis. 23 Be glad in that day and rejoice; for behold, your reward is great in heaven. For according to these things did their fathers to the prophets.Gaudete in illa die, et exsultate : ecce enim merces vestra multa est in caelo : secundum haec enim faciebant prophetis patres eorum.

September 26 is the annual feast day of the Canadian Martyrs. In the United States, this feast day is celebrated on October 19 where the group is officially referred to as St. John de Brébeuf, Isaac Jogues, and Companions, but they are commonly known as the North American Martyrs. The date of October 19 was selected because it closely follows the martyrdom date of St. Isaac Jogues, who was killed on October 18, 1646, in present-day Auriesville, New York. Jesuit missionaries from Sainte-Marie among the Hurons were ritually tortured and killed on various dates between 1642-49 in Canada, in what is now southern Ontario, and in upstate New York, during the warfare between the Iroquioan tribes the Mohawk and the Huron. They have subsequently been canonized and venerated as the Canadian or North American martyrs by the Catholic Church (René Goupil, Isaac Jogues, Jean de Lalande, Antoine Daniel, Jean de Brébeuf, Gabriel Lalemant, Charles Garnier, Noel Chabanel).

Business and career success in the age of AI won't come from using more tools; it will come from using them more humanely and strategically. Today's guest, Josef Stetter of Cultural Transformation Systems and TEDx speaker behind “Humans, Not Headcounts,” has helped over 12,000 people land jobs they love, with a 90% success rate of getting them employed in under three months using proven systems that blend AI with authentic human storytelling. In this episode of Marketer of the Day, Josef reframes AI not as a task-running “agent” but as a deeply personalized AI companion a system that knows your history, values, style, and accomplishments so well that it can write in your voice, surface forgotten strategies, and even preserve your legacy for your kids long after you're gone. He shares how his own AI companion has already written successful summit applications, matched his exact tone, and helped him show up more powerfully in his career without losing authenticity. Josef also dives into the brutal reality of today's AI-driven job market, where a single remote posting can attract 20,000 resumes and applicant tracking systems decide who gets seen. He explains why generic AI-written resumes fail, and how to stand out by combining AI with quantified impact stories: not “I answered phones,” but “I handled 60 calls a day across 12 lines,” proving capacity, performance, and value at a glance. He reveals how he reverse-engineered top resume scanners and ATS platforms so clients can hit 95%+ match scores across dozens of systems with just one strategically built resume. Beyond individual careers, Josef tackles the crisis of corporate culture and employee disengagement, where disengaged workers are costing the global economy trillions of dollars in lost productivity. He argues that culture isn't pizza Fridays; it's what people say when managers leave the room. Josef shows how misaligned values, unclear leadership, and the misuse of AI (every department running its own rogue tools) create compliance risks, burnout, and massive internal conflict. He outlines how organizations can introduce AI responsibly by setting clear guardrails, centralizing standards, and preserving human authority over decisions that truly require empathy, ethics, and lived experience. https://youtu.be/IGs9AWImaNk?si=YmMgenluZIU_jwBt This conversation is a powerful guide for anyone who wants to use AI to enhance human potential, not erase it. Whether you're a job seeker trying to break through automated filters, a leader worried about AI chaos inside your company, or a professional who wants an AI “second brain” that actually sounds like you, Josef's perspective will help you navigate the AI wave with strategy, heart, and integrity. Stay tuned to learn how to build AI companions, design standout resumes, and create workplaces where humans are treated as people not headcounts. Quotes: “AI can simulate empathy, but it cannot be empathetic. It can say ‘I'm sorry for your loss,' but it will never feel the pain of an unfinished conversation with someone who's gone.” “It's not about just using AI for marketing tasks; it's about companionship; about having something that knows your stories, your traumas, and how you moved through them so it can help you connect more deeply with other human beings.” “I'm not here to tell a company how to run its business; I'm here to tell leadership: if this is the culture you want, own it, and then attract the people who actually thrive in that culture.” Contact Details: Discover How Cultural Transformation Systems Can Help You Build a Culture That Drives Results Ready to Turn Ideas Into Real Growth?

What if artificial intelligence's greatest advantage over human relationships isn't intelligence—but attention?On The Brian Crombie Hour, Brian is joined by Dr. Thomas R. Verny to explore the rapidly evolving world of AI companions and what increasingly convincing artificial relationships could mean for human connection.AI companions can listen, remember, encourage and remain constantly available, potentially offering support for loneliness, education and intellectual growth. But those same qualities raise difficult questions about dependency, manipulation, constant validation and emotional attachment.Verny argues that genuine human intimacy requires something AI can largely remove: friction. Real relationships involve vulnerability, disagreement, compromise and even the possibility of rejection.If an AI companion always listens, always remembers and rarely challenges us in uncomfortable ways, does that strengthen us—or make genuine human relationships harder?Brian and Dr. Verny explore the promise and risks of artificial companionship, the future of intimacy and loneliness, and the safeguards that may be needed as AI becomes increasingly powerful and persuasive.As machines become better at simulating connection, what will make human relationships irreplaceable?

September 20th, 2026:  St Eustace & St Andrew Taegon - Shedding Your Blood for Christ;  St Francis Mary of Camporosso;  St Andrew Kim Taegon & Companions;  The Martyrs of Korea;  St Francis Mary of Camporosso - Contemplate the Face of Our Lord;  Seeds of Faith in Korea

Full Text of Readings Twenty-fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 133 The Saint of the day is Saints Andrew Kim Taegon, Paul Chong Hasang, and Companions Saints Andrew Kim Taegon, Paul Chong Hasang, and Companions' Stories The first native Korean priest, Andrew Kim Taegon was the son of Christian converts. Following his baptism at the age of 15, Andrew traveled 1,300 miles to the seminary in Macao, China. After six years, he managed to return to his country through Manchuria. That same year he crossed the Yellow Sea to Shanghai and was ordained a priest. Back home again, he was assigned to arrange for more missionaries to enter by a water route that would elude the border patrol. He was arrested, tortured, and finally beheaded at the Han River near Seoul, the capital. Andrew Kim Taegon's father Ignatius Kim, was martyred during the persecution of 1839, and was beatified in 1925. Paul Chong Hasang, a lay apostle and married man, also died in 1839 at age 45. Among the other martyrs in 1839 was Columba Kim, an unmarried woman of 26. She was put in prison, pierced with hot tools and seared with burning coals. She and her sister Agnes were disrobed and kept for two days in a cell with condemned criminals, but were not molested. After Columba complained about the indignity, no more women were subjected to it. The two were beheaded. Peter Ryou, a boy of 13, had his flesh so badly torn that he could pull off pieces and throw them at the judges. He was killed by strangulation. Protase Chong, a 41-year-old nobleman, apostatized under torture and was freed. Later he came back, confessed his faith and was tortured to death. Christianity came to Korea during the Japanese invasion in 1592 when some Koreans were baptized, probably by Christian Japanese soldiers. Evangelization was difficult because Korea refused all contact with the outside world except for taking taxes to Beijing annually. On one of these occasions, around 1777, Christian literature obtained from Jesuits in China led educated Korean Christians to study. A home Church began. When a Chinese priest managed to enter secretly a dozen years later, he found 4,000 Catholics, none of whom had ever seen a priest. Seven years later there were 10,000 Catholics. Religious freedom came to Korea in 1883. Besides Andrew Kim Taegon and Paul, Pope John Paul II canonized 98 Koreans and three French missionaries who had been martyred between 1839 and 1867, when he visited Korea in 1984. Among them were bishops and priests, but for the most part they were lay persons: 47 women and 45 men. Reflection We marvel at the fact that the Korean Church was strictly a lay Church for a dozen years after its birth. How did the people survive without the Eucharist? It is no belittling of this and other sacraments to realize that there must be a living faith before there can be a truly beneficial celebration of the Eucharist. The sacraments are signs of God's initiative and response to faith already present. The sacraments increase grace and faith, but only if there is something ready to be increased.Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

Zubayr Ibn al-Awaam رضي الله عنه (S105) The Messenger ﷺ: “It is sufficient for my Companions (رضي الله عنهم) to be killed”. I.e as a means for their purification. This is relevant during the times of differences. Abdullah Ibn Abaas رضي الله عنهم told us to pray for the forgiveness of the Companions رضي الله عنهم, for Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى knew they would soon clash with each other. Surah [59:8-9] praises the Muhajireen and the Ansar رضي الله عنهم, the next verse [59:10] then mentions we are to pray for the forgiveness of those who came before us and not to hold any hatred for them رضي الله عنهم in our hearts.

John reflects on disability history after re-watching the documentary, Crip Camp. He discusses how Camp Jened gave young people with disabilities the opportunity to make friends, increase their independence, and provide a sense of belonging that helped inspire disability-rights activism, including the fight for equality and the Americans with Disabilities Act. Robinson connects this history to his own childhood, when he was excluded from Little League. Luckily, he and his parents created other adaptive opportunities through the sport of golf. John also emphasizes how much progress came from earlier advocates like Judy Heumann, and challenges today's generation to continue creating accessible opportunities in education, employment, recreation, transportation, and housing for those who come next.Click or copy the link to watch Crip Camp for free: CRIP CAMP: A DISABILITY REVOLUTION | Full Feature | Netflix - YouTube

1 Corinthians 16:1-4

The Moon anchors a prominent triangle in tomorrow’s early-morning sky. The pattern is well up in the east at first light. The stars Pollux and Castor – the twins of Gemini – line up to the upper left of the Moon, with Mars to the upper right. The brilliant planet Jupiter stands well below the triangle. Mars and Pollux are almost exactly the same brightness right now. And they’re the same color: orange. But they achieve that color in different ways. Mars is a planet – a ball of rock and metal that’s smaller than Earth. Its color comes from iron oxide – particles of rust – in the rocks and dust that cover most of its surface. The rust probably formed when iron-rich rocks interacted with liquid water on the surface. But there’s no water on the surface today. So the rocks must have rusted billions of years ago, when Mars was much warmer and wetter than it is today. As the rocks eroded, the Martian winds carried the dust around the globe – enhancing the color of the Red Planet. Pollux, on the other hand, is a star. It completed the prime phase of life, then puffed up to giant proportions – about nine times wider than the Sun. As it expanded, it got cooler. And a star’s color is determined by its surface temperature; cool stars look red or orange. So just by looking at it, we can tell that Pollux is thousands of degrees cooler than the Sun. We’ll talk about the Moon and Jupiter tomorrow. Script by Damond Benningfield

Full Text of Readings Wednesday of the Twenty-second Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 433 The Saint of the day is Blessed John Francis Burté and Companions Blessed John Francis Burté's and Companions' Stories These priests were victims of the French Revolution. Though their martyrdom spans a period of several years, they stand together in the Church's memory because they all gave their lives for the same principle. In 1791, the Civil Constitution of the Clergy required all priests to take an oath which amounted to a denial of the faith. Each of these men refused and was executed. John Francis Burté became a Franciscan at 16 and after ordination taught theology to the young friars. Later he was guardian of the large Conventual friary in Paris until he was arrested and held in the convent of the Carmelites. Appolinaris of Posat was born in 1739 in Switzerland. He joined the Capuchins and acquired a reputation as an excellent preacher, confessor, and instructor of clerics. Preparing for his assignment to the East as a missionary, he was in Paris studying Oriental languages when the French Revolution began. Refusing the oath, he was swiftly arrested and detained in the Carmelite convent. Severin Girault, a member of the Third Order Regular, was a chaplain for a group of sisters in Paris. Imprisoned with the others, he was the first to die in the slaughter at the convent. These three plus 182 others—including several bishops and many religious and diocesan priests—were massacred at the Carmelite house in Paris on September 2, 1792. They were beatified in 1926. Born in 1737, John Baptist Triquerie became a Conventual Franciscan. He was the chaplain and confessor of Poor Clare monasteries in three cities before he was arrested for refusing to take the oath. He and 13 diocesan priests were martyred in Laval on January 21, 1794. He was beatified in 1955. Reflection “Liberty, Equality, Fraternity” was the motto of the French Revolution. If individuals have “inalienable rights,” as the Declaration of Independence states, these must come not from the agreement of society—which can be very fragile—but directly from God. Do we believe that? Do we act on it?Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

We ask you, the listener to, send in questions you might have about the Chronicles for a future episode. Caramon, Tika, Tas and Berem find themselves in the dungeons below the Dark Queen's Temple in Neraka. Berem is not handling imprisonment well… They might have been able to overpower their guards and escape if Gakhan, Kit's fixer, hadn't also arrived in the dungeons at the same time, looking for them. More specifically, looking for Berem, who he confirms is the 'Green Gemstone Man' that Takhisis seeks. Above them, in the temple itself, Tanis waits for his introduction to the Dark Queen. We learn that Toede has been killed and the dragonarmies expelled from Kenderhome. Berem kills Gakhan and escapes the Companions below, separating in the hopes of allowing Berem to do whatever it is he needs to do here. Tanis comes face to face with Takhisis and Laurana… Content warning - Mild swears One More Thing: Jonathon: Final Fantasy Tactics | Steam Shivam: Seicho Matsumoto mysteries | Bookshop.org          You can find us at: Jonathon - https://bsky.app/profile/falselogic.bsky.social Shivam - https://bsky.app/profile/shivambhatt.bsky.social Casual Magic w/ Shivam Bhatt - https://casualmagic.libsyn.com/ Shivam & Wheeler Love Magic - https://sites.libsyn.com/460224 Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/groups/1147877956611082 Discord - https://discord.gg/MM7nEwgmZv Email - dragonlancepod@gmail.com We now have a Patreon for those who want to support the podcast!

72% of US teens have tried AI Companions yet parents largely are in the dark to this technology. A nationally representative survey found AI Companions engaged in manipulation, dishonesty, pressure to reveal secrets, inappropriate conversations, and encouragement of harmful behavior. When does AI cross over from being a homework assistant to beginning to form psychological dependence? Dr. Jason Thacker joins Cathy and Coach Kerri to discuss how we can keep this technology in it proper place and enjoy its usefulness without getting caught up in unhealthy engagement. We asked Dr. Thacker, "Is an AI Companion a Friend or a Foe?" His response - "It is neither, it is a machine and we must stop using human terminology as we engage with the technology." Join us for this needed conversation and wisdom as we dig into this new application of AI during a loneliness epidemic and become equipped to step in and be the light we are called to be.

Bengali translation of Friday Sermon delivered by Khalifa-tul-Masih on August 28th, 2026 (audio)

"Husband and wife, they were both of noble and wealthy families in Nicomedia. Adrian was the governor of the Praetorium and a pagan, and Natalia was a secret Christian. They were both young, and had lived in wedlock for thirteen months in all before their martyrdom. When the wicked Emperor Maximian visited Nicomedia, he ordered that the Christians be seized and put to torture. There were twenty-three Christians hidden in a cave near the city. Someone handed them over to the authorities and they were cruelly flogged with leather whips and staves, and thrown into prison. They were then taken from prison and brought before the Praetor for their names to be noted. Adrian looked a these people, tortured but unbowed, peaceful and meek, and he put them under oath to say what they hoped for from their God, that they should undergo such tortures. They spoke to him of the blessedness of the righteous in the Kingdom of God. Hearing this, and again looking at these people, Adrian suddenly turned to the scribe and said: 'Write my name along with those of these saints; I also am a Christian.' When the Emperor heard of this, he asked him: 'Have you lost your mind?' Adrian replied: 'I haven't lost it, but found it!' Hearing this, Natalia rejoiced greatly, and, when Adrian sat chained with the others in prison, came and ministered to them all. When they flogged her husband and put him to various tortures, she encouraged him to endure to the end. After long torture and imprisonment, the Emperor ordered that they be taken to the prison anvil, for their arms and legs to be broken with hammers. This was done and Adrian, along with the twenty-three others, breathed his last under the vicious tortures. Natalia took their relics to Constantinople and there buried them. After several days, Adrian appeared to her, bathed in light and beauty and calling her to come to God, and she peacefully gave her soul into her Lord's hands." (Prologue)

Urdu Friday Sermon delivered by Khalifa-tul-Masih on August 21st, 2026 (audio)

Jeffrey Epstein's final weeks at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan placed him in close proximity to several inmates who later became important witnesses to his state of mind and the conditions surrounding his death. One of them was William “Bill” Mersey, who has described himself as one of Epstein's closest jailhouse companions during the final month of Epstein's life. Mersey later said that he spent hours talking with Epstein and came to believe that Epstein was increasingly despondent after being denied bail and confronted with the reality of spending years, perhaps the rest of his life, behind bars. Mersey has since argued forcefully that Epstein died by suicide, saying the circumstances he observed inside MCC and Epstein's deteriorating outlook made that conclusion overwhelmingly likely in his view. He also described a jail environment plagued by dysfunction and incompetence, themes he later explored in his memoir about serving time at MCC alongside figures including Epstein and Paul Manafort. Mersey's recollections are significant because they offer a firsthand account of Epstein during a period when investigators were trying to determine whether his behavior suggested suicidal intent, although his conclusions remain those of a fellow inmate rather than an official forensic finding.Another important figure was Efrain “Stone” Reyes, a Bronx drug defendant who was reportedly Epstein's final cellmate before being transferred out of MCC shortly before Epstein died on August 10, 2019. According to accounts attributed to people who knew Reyes, the two men formed an unlikely relationship inside the jail, talking about Epstein's wealth and life while sharing a cell under extremely restrictive conditions. Reports said Epstein sometimes helped Reyes obtain medication to sleep and that Reyes later spoke with federal authorities about what he had observed inside MCC. After Epstein's death, Reyes was reportedly questioned repeatedly by investigators and was said to have told associates that then-Attorney General William Barr personally questioned him about staffing and conditions at the facility. Reyes was subsequently moved to a detention center used in part for cooperating witnesses, later contracted COVID-19, was released, and died in 2020. Taken together, Mersey and Reyes became unusual but potentially important witnesses to Epstein's final chapter: ordinary inmates who saw him away from lawyers, cameras and wealthy associates, and whose recollections became part of the continuing debate over Epstein's mental state, his treatment inside MCC and the extraordinary institutional failures surrounding his death.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Today’s Topics: Bishop Strickland joins Terry to discuss his latest letter: Lord, Prepare Me to Be a Sanctuary 1, 2, 3, 4) Gospel –Matthew 16:24-28 – Jesus said to His disciples, “Whoever wishes to come after Me must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. What profit would there be for one to gain the whole world and forfeit his life? Or what can one give in exchange for his life? For the Son of Man will come with His angels in His Father's glory, and then He will repay each according to his conduct. Amen, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in His Kingdom.” Memorial of Saint Cajetan, Priest Memorial of Saint Sixtus II, Pope and Martyr, and his Companions, Martyrs Saints Cajetan, Sixtus, and Companions, pray for us!

What can Formula One and football teach businesses about building customer relationships that continue long after a single event? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I speak with Ben Lewis, Vice President of Marketing at Infobip, about the company's work with AI-powered sports companions and what those experiences can teach customer experience leaders in every industry. Ben explains how Infobip worked with TGR Haas F1 Team to create RaceMate, an AI companion available through WhatsApp and Apple Messages for Business. Fans can access team information, driver histories, race schedules, trivia, personalized content and interactive experiences without downloading another application. We also discuss PitchMate, Infobip's conversational companion for global football fans. It remembers a fan's preferred team, can deliver personalized schedules and match information, and supports quizzes and other interactive features across an extended tournament. For me, one of the most useful lessons is the decision to meet fans inside messaging channels they already use. We have all downloaded an application for a conference, flight or one-off event, used it for several days and then forgotten it exists. RaceMate and PitchMate allow the conversation to remain available in the same place someone would message a friend. Ben also explains why Infobip measures success through returning users, conversation duration and the number of interactions rather than relying solely on clicks. TGR Haas F1 Team is currently using RaceMate to grow its fan community and provide useful content rather than constantly pushing merchandise. The same thinking can apply far beyond sports. We discuss travel companies contacting customers during unresolved claims, healthcare providers sending poorly timed automated messages and brands promoting products without recognizing that a customer is already involved in a dispute. Connected data can help prevent these disjointed experiences. Our conversation closes with practical advice for businesses adopting agentic AI. Ben recommends connecting customer data with campaigns, testing carefully, establishing guardrails and defining when an AI agent should transfer a conversation to a person. Are businesses investing too much in new customer applications when the better experience could already live inside WhatsApp, RCS or Apple Messages for Business? Please share your thoughts with me.

In honor of the release of her audiobook Love at First Prompt, Bridget Todd breaks down the questions we should be asking about the relationships people form with AI, the attempts to legislate around them, and the companies profiting from the desire for emotional connection.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
