In Which the Queen Continues Her Search for Consolation and the Countess of Scaith Makes a Dreadful Discovery

Thunder and Consolation, de 1989, é um dos álbuns mais aclamados do New Model Army, marcando uma virada na sonoridade da banda. O disco combina o post-punk característico do grupo com fortes influências de folk rock, especialmente pela presença marcante do violino de Ed Alleyne-Johnson. As letras de Justin Sullivan seguem afiadas e politizadas, mas aqui ganham uma dimensão mais poética e introspectiva, abordando temas como identidade, espiritualidade, pertencimento e resistência - um amálgama entre intensidade emocional e crítica social. O álbum foi a escolha do nosso amigo Cláudio Borges, na estreia do quadro O Som do Convidado.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Tuesday morning, the 15th of April, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We go straight to the Gospel of Luke 2:25: “And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon, and this man was just and devout, waiting for the Consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.” You don't hear much about Simeon, do you? No, he is one of the ordinary people. There are millions of ordinary people in the world. He was not a high priest, he was not one of the inner circle. No, but I will tell you one thing, he saw and recognised Jesus before any of the high priests or the Pharisees did. The Lord showed him and he said, “Lord, now You are letting Your servant depart in peace,…” You will see that in verse 29, when he recognised the baby Jesus, who had been brought to the temple. We need to understand something. It's not about education, and there is nothing wrong with that, by the way, it's a relationship with the Lord. I had a man working on the farm. You have probably seen him in the movie, Faith like Potatoes. Yes, his name is Simeon. Simeon is illiterate, he can't read, he can't write, but I want to tell you, he became one of my best friends when I was a young farmer. Some of the holiest times we used to have together were in the workshop early in the morning before the staff arrived. When I used to travel a lot and Jill was on the farm with the children and they were young, I used to call him in, we used to sit together and I would say, “Please look after the family till I get back”, and he would say to me, “Don't worry, I will look after them.” And he did - Jill said to me, often in the middle of the night, she would hear him walking around, just checking that everything was okay, and he was the one man that when he laid his hands on my head and prayed for me, he made me cry. I don't know why. Yes, like Simeon of the Bible. Let us not judge a book by it's cover. Let us be very slow to judge one another because I want to tell you, I have seen so many godly men in my life who don't hold any public office, but they have seen Jesus. Have a wonderful day, God bless you and goodbye.

"Consolation" refers to the sense of comfort or relief that helps someone feel better after experiencing sadness, disappointment, or distress. Life is filled with painful moments that can arise unexpectedly, but it also brings many opportunities for second chances. Do not lose hope in yourself; God has not given up on you! Blessings,Presiding Elder Barbara HayesBe Still & Know

Sometimes, hope is a virtue that has to be lived in the darkness. But in this Jubilee Year of Hope, we strongly believe that there will be light. Today, Fr. Bob McConaghy, an elderly priest representing the Pilgrims of Hope for Consolation, narrates a very touching story of how God works to bring comfort to His children, most especially in the times of the crossroads of uncertainty.

There were many aspects of Rakhi McCormick's upbringing as a Hindu that uniquely prepared her to be open to the ideas she would encounter in Christianity, from the value of feasting and fasting, to the idea of the Communion of Saints. Rakhi shares how her encounters with Christians throughout her life helped prepare her for a Eucharistic encounter with Jesus, and how she leans on the friendship of the saints today as she seeks to grow in her relationship with God.

Read Online“Look, all these years I served you and not once did I disobey your orders; yet you never gave me even a young goat to feast on with my friends. But when your son returns who swallowed up your property with prostitutes, for him you slaughter the fattened calf.” Luke 15:22–24This was the reaction of the faithful son in the Parable of the Prodigal Son. Recall that after squandering his inheritance, the Prodigal Son returns home humiliated and poor, asking his father if he will take him back and treat him as if he were a hired hand. But the father surprises him and throws a huge party for the son to celebrate his return. But the father's other son, the one who remained with him throughout the years, would not join in the celebration.Was it fair that the father killed the fatted calf and threw this large party to celebrate his wayward son's return? Was it fair that that same father apparently never even gave his faithful son a young goat to feast on with his friends? The right answer is that this is the wrong question.It's easy for us to live in such a way that we always want things to be “fair.” And when we perceive that another receives more than us, we can get angry and bitter. But asking whether or not this is fair is not the right question. When it comes to the mercy of God, God's generosity and goodness far exceed what is perceived as fair. And if we are to share in the abundant mercy of God, we too must learn to rejoice in His superabundant mercy.In this story, the act of mercy given to his wayward son was exactly what that son needed. He needed to know that no matter what he had done in the past, his father loved him and rejoiced in his return. Therefore, this son needed an abundance of mercy, partly to reassure him of his father's love. He needed this extra consolation so as to become convinced that he made the right choice in returning.The other son, the one who had remained faithful throughout the years, was not treated unfairly. Rather, his discontent came from the fact that he himself lacked the same abundant mercy present in the heart of his father. He failed to love his brother to the same extent and, therefore, failed to see the need to offer this consolation to his brother as a way of helping him understand he was forgiven and welcomed back. Mercy is very demanding and far exceeds what we may at first perceive as rational and just. But if we desire to receive mercy in abundance, we must be ready and willing to offer it to those who need it the most. Reflect, today, upon how merciful and generous you are willing to be, especially toward those who do not appear to deserve it. Remind yourself that the life of grace is not about being fair; it's about being generous to a shocking extent. Commit yourself to this depth of generosity toward all and look for ways that you can console another's heart with the mercy of God. If you do, that generous love will also bless your heart in abundance. My most generous Lord, You are compassionate beyond what I can fathom. Your mercy and goodness far exceed what any of us deserve. Help me to be eternally grateful for Your goodness and help me to offer that same depth of mercy to those in most need.

A sermon delivered by C.H. Spurgeon, Thursday Evening, May 23rd 1867.The preacher refers to David and his son Absalom. Spurgeon tells us of the terrible grief we can feel if our children grow up to reject God's way, and distance themselves from Christ. Then Spurgeon takes us on a journey. He leads us by the hand to examine the beauty and permanence of God's everlasting Covenant with His people. Such glorious promises should be to us a constant source of consolation and blessing.Read by: Gavin Childress

Episode 164 - In part two of the Ignatian rules of discernment, Fr Sean Danda and Nathanael Rea focus on the concepts of spiritual consolation and desolation. They explore how to navigate these experiences, emphasizing the importance of patience, reflection, and community support. The discussion highlights the nature of the enemy, the significance of confession, and the need for self-awareness in spiritual growth. The speakers encourage listeners to engage in daily examination to foster a deeper connection with God and to recognize the patterns of consolation and desolation in their lives.Takeaways: Spiritual consolation is a sense of closeness with God.Desolation can be a time for purification and growth.Patience is key when experiencing desolation.Consolation is a gift from God, not something we earn.Strengthening oneself during times of consolation prepares us for desolation.Reflection on relationships helps during low times.The devil operates like a bully, exploiting our weaknesses.Community and confession are vital for spiritual health.Recognizing our weaknesses allows for healing and growth.Daily examination of conscience is essential for spiritual awareness.

Today, we embark on a perilous journey into the world of Grimdark fantasy, where heroes are fools, victories are tragic, and morality is as murky as a tavern's back alley. After years of avoiding the genre, I finally took the plunge and read Joe Abercrombie's Before They Are Hanged—the second book in The First Law trilogy. And what did I discover? A failed quest that somehow became one of the most unexpectedly profound fantasy narratives I've encountered. Why do we need failed quest narratives? How do they console us in a world obsessed with relentless achievement? And what does this mean for epic fantasy, The Hero's Journey, and even my own book, The Song of the Sirin? Let's discuss.   ⏰ Timestamps: 0:00 – Welcome to the Studio: My Grimdark Adventure Continues 2:15 – Why I Avoided Grimdark for So Long 4:38 – Before They Are Hanged and the Quest That (Gloriously) Failed 8:22 – Giselle Dan Luthor: A Fool's Journey to Something Like Wisdom 12:47 – The Unexpected Consolation of Grimdark 17:02 – Lord of the Rings as a Failed Quest (And Why That's Brilliant) 20:10 – My Own Novel's Failed Quest and Why It Matters 22:01 – Final Thoughts & What's Next in the Grimdark Discussion

“The Enduring Consolation of Philosophy” is the keynote lecture delivered by Dr Stephen Blackwood at the 2024 Symposium of Medieval and Renaissance studies. In this talk, commemorating the 1500th anniversary of Boethius' The Consolation of Philosophy, Dr Blackwood shows why this work is more relevant than ever. After takinging stock of the “meaning crisis” and our dire need for depth, Dr Blackwood meditates on the first great insight of the Consolation: that the remedies of the self must emerge from the self. The complex and intricate structures and patterns of Boethius' work are powerful, beautiful, and therapeutic precisely because its harmonies reflect the reality of both the world and the world within. Both the order of the cosmos and the order of the self unfold, for the reader of the Consolation, by way of the book's carefully calibrated pedagogical dimension. Its therapies for the soul consist of tenderness and tough love alike, because the sight, insight, and assent that it seeks to instill cannot be induced by any other means. Instead, the liberating power of consciousness to which this work so insistently points depends on the innate freedom that we all possess—the very freedom to which the example of Boethius endures, to this day, as a singular witness.

St. Anicius Manlius Severius Boethius's book The Consolation of Philosophy, which he wrote in prison while awaiting martyrdom around the year 524, is one of the single most influential works for medieval philosophy and theology. But Boethius also owed much to the pagan philosophy that came before him.  Thomas Ward has just written a commentary on Boethius's dialogue for Word on Fire, entitled After Stoicism: Last Words of the Last Roman Philosopher. Topics discussed include: Boethius's debt to Stoic ethics and how he critiques the Stoic view of happiness The influence of neo-Platonist philosophy on Boethius Questions about the account of deification given by Lady Philosophy - is it more Platonist than Christian?

There are eyewitnesses during every phase when Jesus walked this earth.I. The Focus of Eyewitnesses - 1:1-4 1. Eyewitnesses of His birth - 2. Eyewitnesses of His life (Mt 2,14,28; I John 1:1-4) 3. Eyewitnesses of His death - many 4. Eyewitnesses of His resurrection - I Corinthians 15:1-8 5. But many eyewitnesses didn't believe! True and the Scriptures readily admit that fact usually included with a sharp rebuke! 6. All will witness His return - Matthew 24:15-31 7. We may not be eyewitnesses of His birth, life, death, & resurrection, but we are eyewitnesses of how Jesus has changed our hearts, our minds, our passions, our priorities - Never underestimate your testimony about the changed life that came from coming to faith in Christ!Longevity / Fidelity in spiritual disciplines - worship, fasting, prayer because of their impact on our relationships with/ God and man. Break down Matthew 6 after Anna II. The Gospel Message (we all share) 1. The Consolation of Israel - Simeon keeps us thinking of Jesus at Christmas 2. The Redemption of Jerusalem—Anna keeps us thinking about Jesus at Christmas. Thank you, Luke, for all the reminders that the Savior saves, the Redeemer redeems, and the Lord leads. Don't lose the reasons why Jesus came. We gather because God saved us. We serve because God saved us. We send because God saved us. We share because God saved us. 3. The Theme of Redeemer & Redemption - • Job said • David said • Isaiah said • Peter said • Paul said • John said MATTHEW 6:1-18Galatians 3:13-14 - redemption connected to the cross

In this programme, Rosa Hunt, explores the experience and journey of grief, consolation and faith as a fellow Pilgrim walking with our contributors. Ruth McDonald lost her son Ben when he collapsed after running the Cardiff Half Marathon six years ago. Kathy Richards, who lost her son to cancer over four years ago, now runs a bereavement course. These two mothers speak to us out of their personal experience of grief. We also talk to Professor Wynn Thomas, who published 'The Art of Losing' this month. Wynn provides us with a different angle, using his literary expertise to help us see how poetry can articulate the journey of grief.

The SSPX Podcast is produced by Angelus Press, which has as its mission the fortification of traditional Catholics so that they can defend the Faith, and reaching out to those who have not yet found Tradition.  - - - - - - What is the SSPX? The main goal of the Society of Saint Pius X is to preserve the Catholic Faith in its fullness and purity, to teach its truths, and to diffuse its virtues, especially through the Roman Catholic priesthood. Authentic spiritual life, the sacraments, and the traditional liturgy are its primary means of bringing this life of grace to souls. Although the traditional Latin Mass is the most visible and public expression of the work of the Society, we are committed to defending Catholic Tradition in its entirety: all of Catholic doctrine and morals as the Church has always defended them. What people need is the Catholic Faith, without compromise, with all the truth and beauty which accompanies it.
