Daily Study: Jesus died on the cross for our sins so that we could be reconciled to God as His children. Jesus' calling was to save us, and He did it well, but to accomplish His calling, He had to "take up His cross." Similarly, Jesus instructs us to "take up our cross" and follow Him. But what does this really mean? To achieve the calling God has given us, taking up our cross represents going in a different direction than normal society and being considered foolish for following the dream God has given us. It is the complete surrender of our will to achieve the calling God gave us, until we leave this earth through death or rapture.

This week Fr. Michael reflects on the Gospel from the feast of the Exaltation of the Cross. He discovered that the root word means both shame and exalt or lift up, and he compares those in relation to how we live out our lives. He talks about bringing shame to Christ by our actions and inactions, and what it means that Christ will be ashamed of us if we shame Him.Follow and Contact Us!Follow us on Instagram and FacebookWe're on YouTube!Join our Goodreads GroupFr.

We were off last week, Tim took a trip up to Jacksonville, Frank hit Disney, and Andrew apparently got “caught” visiting someone in a nursing home. Frank preached at Lakeview this Sunday and is somehow taking half the church with him to plant Cross & Crown. It's not a split, it's a strategic expansion. It's Episode 306 of The Morning After Ministry Show, where we unpack Sundays, laugh at Mondays, and try to remember what day it actually is.
Worship Coordinator Kristin Groene reflects on God's initiating love in Christ and calls us to mirror Jesus' teaching by loving even difficult people. She reminds us that as we abide in God, the Spirit grows the character needed to love well.

Friends of the Rosary,Today, October 15, the Catholic Church celebrates the Memorial of St. Teresa of Avila (1515-1582).Born in Avila, Spain, in the year 1515, this sixteenth-century Spaniard saint is honored as the "seraphic virgin," virgo seraphica, doctrix mystica, doctor of mystical theology, and teacher of the spiritual life.She reformed the Carmelite Order, with the help of St. John of the Cross, changing most of the Carmelite convents and founding thirty-two reformed convents.She reached the highest degree of prayer and, through prayer, obtained such knowledge of divine things that in 1970 Pope St. Paul VI named her the first woman Doctor of the Church. Her writings are still the classic works on mysticism. Autobiography of St. Teresa, Interior Castle, and Way of Perfection.Through her mystical union with God, she reached a climax when her heart was transfixed (transverberatio cordis),St. Teresa composed the following well-known lines:Let nothing affright thee,Nothing dismay thee.All is passing,God ever remains.Patience obtains all.Whoever possesses GodCannot lack anythingGod alone suffices.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!

This week, Doug Colkitt, Founder Ambient Finance & Founding Contributor at Fogo, joins us as one of the wildest weekends in crypto history drags us back on air: a record $19B+ in liquidations, gas spiking toward $400, exchange APIs wobbling, and ADL ripping through perps as hedges vanished. We unpack what ADL actually does, why delta-neutral farmers got nuked, and how Binance's USDe and staked ETH/SOL pegs snapped amid index design and mint/redeem gaps—followed by refunds. We get into HLP vs. LLP (vaults vs. winning traders), the Hyperliquid “whale” short ahead of the tariff tweet, cross-margin reflexivity that torched alts, and why market makers wore outsized pain.

Tax planning strategies can fall flat if financial advisors and CPAs aren't working together. Miscommunication, timing issues, and a lack of context can create friction—or worse, lead to missed opportunities or costly mistakes. Steven Jarvis is the CEO of Retirement Tax Services, a tax education and preparation firm that partners with financial advisors across the country to better serve their clients. Listen in as Steven explains how advisors can build trust with CPAs through proactive communication—not just sending over forms during tax season, but also giving context to planning decisions, providing year-end summaries, and getting ahead of major moves like Roth conversions or Qualified Charitable Distributions. You'll learn how aligning with CPAs as collaborative decision-makers can lead to better returns for clients and the potential for cross-referrals, and why timing conversations around a CPA's calendar matters.

The teaching of the Fathers on vengeance and anger does not allow us to linger in the comfortable ambiguities of human justice. It tears at the fabric of self-justification. Their words bring us face to face with the scandal of divine love—the Cross as the only standard by which we are to measure our dealings with others. The heart that desires retribution, or even to “set things right,” cannot bear the full light of that Cross without trembling. St. Diadochus unmasks the subtle ways we clothe self-interest in piety. We say we fear becoming “a cause of sin” for those who wrong us, but in truth we simply wish to protect our possessions, our security, our image of control. Once we let go of blessing and guarding the heart, we begin to move toward the vestibules of the law courts; our concern for righteousness becomes indistinguishable from the world's hunger for vindication. To stand before such courts is already to have abandoned the tribunal of mercy. The law of God cannot be kept by means of the laws of men, because mercy does not seek the restoration of things but of persons. The one who endures injustice praying for his oppressor becomes an image of the Crucified, who desired not the return of what was taken from Him but the return of those who took it. Abba Isaac pushes the wound even deeper: to fight over what gives comfort after renouncing the world is blindness. The one for whom the world has died accepts insults with joy, not because they are pleasant, but because they reveal how little of the old self remains to defend. It is not the act of being wronged that kills the soul, but the refusal to see in it a call to die before death. Only those who have lost every hope of worldly consolation can bear this pain without resentment. Such poverty of spirit is rare, but in it the mind shines with tranquil radiance. The Gerontikon illustrates the same wisdom through living examples. Blessed Zosimas warns the generous Dionysia that zeal to avenge an insult can destroy every virtue she possesses. Her almsgiving, though abundant, is nothing if it is not shaped by meekness. To lose composure over a trifling thing is to become a slave of that thing; even a needle or a book can master the heart that has not been freed. The true servant of God has one Master alone. All these sayings converge on the Cross. There, vengeance dies and love is revealed in its purest form. Christ prays for His murderers, not from sentiment but from truth; He alone sees that their real torment is not what they do to Him, but what they do to themselves. The disciple who bears wrongs without retaliation participates in this same divine sight. He no longer divides the world into victims and oppressors, but into the healed and the unhealed. To forgive is to choose the side of healing. To live by this ethos is to live cruciformly. It is to judge nothing and no one, to accept every wound as a summons to prayer, and to see in every thief a brother whose salvation God has entrusted to our mercy. The Cross does not destroy reason; it stretches it until it becomes translucent with grace. In that light, vengeance appears not only impossible but absurd. Only love remains—terrible, meek, and eternal. --- Text of chat during the group: 00:02:23 Fr. Charbel Abernethy: Philokaliaministries.blogspot.com 00:10:43 Fr.

Friends of the Rosary,The Miracle of the Sun, performed by Our Lady on October 13, 1917, was understood by the people as confirmation that the three children were telling the truth about the Marian apparitions and the messages of the Secret of Fatima, which consisted of three parts.The first part was a frightening vision of hell, "where the souls of poor sinners go," and contained an urgent plea from Our Lady for acts of prayer and sacrifice to save souls, with particular emphasis on praying the rosary and devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.The second part of the “Secret” prophesied the outbreak of World War II and contained the prediction of the damage that Russia would do to humanity by abandoning the Christian faith and embracing Communism's totalitarianism.The third part was revealed in 2000, coinciding with the beatification of Francisco and Jacinta. It did not contain any striking or cataclysmic prediction, but, instead, affirmed the immense suffering endured by witnesses of the faith in the last century of the second millennium.Sister Lucia, the surviving member of the Fatima visionaries, confirmed that in the vision “the Bishop clothed in white,” who prays for all the faithful, was the Pope. As he was making his way with great difficulty towards the Cross amid the corpses of those who were martyred (bishops, priests, men and women religious, and many lay people), he too fell to the ground, apparently dead, under a hail of gunfire.That vision could have predicted the 1981 attack on Pope John Paul II's life. The Pope had always credited the Virgin for his survival.Or it may be a portrayal of the Church's ongoing struggle against secularism and anti-Christian movements, as well as a continuing call to prayer, sacrifice, and devotion to Our Lady of Fatima.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!

Send us a textValidation Architecture, Not Validation Effort | Human Centered AI Ep 007Deloitte Australia delivered a $440,000 AI-assisted report. The client discovered fake citations, non-existent authors, and books that were never written.This isn't about criticizing Deloitte - they're tackling what we're all facing. How do you validate AI output without destroying the speed advantage?The Speed ParadoxAI generates a 100-page report in 3 hours. Human validation takes 2 weeks.You can't slow back to human speed (defeats the purpose). You can't trust blindly (Deloitte proved that costs $440,000).So what's the answer?In This Episode:→ What actually broke at Deloitte (and why it's a process problem, not a technology problem)→ Why LLMs are eloquence engines, not truth engines→ The validation architecture we use for AI-assisted reports→ How to build checkpoints that preserve speed advantage→ Why transparency about AI use becomes competitive advantage→ Managing AI agents vs. managing humans (completely different principles)→ Four implementation guidelines you can use immediatelyKey Insights:The validation bottleneck is real. If you're reading every word, you're back to human speed with added risk.Transparency must come first. The AI conversation happens before the project, not after someone finds hallucinations.Speed without checkpoints is just risk. Build validation milestones throughout creation, not just at the end.Our Approach:- Declare sources first (set boundaries or you'll get books that don't exist)- Cross-validate patterns, not sentences- Build checkpoints throughout (like data packets - check key milestones, not every byte)- Human expertise where it matters (evaluate output quality, not proofread words)Three Questions for Your Practice:- What's your validation framework that doesn't require reading every word?- Have you told clients HOW you use AI before they discover it themselves?- Are you validating during creation or only after?How you validate matters more than how much you validate.Deloitte paid $440,000 for this lesson publicly.

Fascinated by a 2000 unsolved local murder, Susan Galbreath decided to become a citizen sleuth. With the help of a British journalist, the Mayfield, KY homemaker identified Quincy Cross and five others of kidnapping and killing Jessica Currin, then raping her lifeless body and setting it on fire. While the press loved the story of an amateur detective cracking the case, serious problems were overlooked. The theory of the crime changed, evidence was circumstantial, and interrogation techniques were coercive. Witnesses have recanted their statements, and even Jessica's father thinks the wrong man is in prison. But what the world didn't know at the trial was that Galbreath had a reason to lead police to Cross and away from their original suspect.“Bone Valley Season 3 | Graves County” from Lava for Good asks whether the made-for-movie tale of an average citizen solving a murder is too good to be true and the consequences of that fiction. Host Maggie Freleng picks apart the inconsistencies in the investigation and actions of investigators and journalists too eager to believe the information Galbreath was selling.OUR SPOILER-FREE REVIEWS OF "BONE VALLEY SEASON 3 | GRAVES COUNTY" BEGIN IN THE FINAL 11 MINUTES OF THE EPISODE.In Crime of the Week: torts and treats.

They cover definitions (endocannibalism vs. survival cannibalism), prion diseases such as Kuru, criminal and paraphilic cases, and pop-culture touchpoints from Ravenous to The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, plus legend-tripping at Lovelock Cave and the “giants” folklore around the Mound Builder myth.Don't forget to grab Karen's latest: Bitch: The Journey of a Word
There are only two types of people: those who recognize their need for Christ's saving power and those who don't. The thief on the cross embodies this. Recognizing that he deserved to die and that Christ did not, he said, “Lord, remember me.” For this simple faith, Christ promised that he would be with Him in heaven that very day, making the thief on the cross His last earthly companion and His first heavenly companion.

Friends of the Rosary,On October 13, 1917, a crowd of 70,000 people — believers and skeptics alike — witnessed in Fatima, Portugal, the “Miracle of the Sun,” or “the day the sun danced.”Our Lady of Fatima had promised the children— Francisco, Jacinta, and Lucia, ages 10, 9, and 7 — that during the last of her six appearances, she would provide a sign so people would believe in the apparitions and in her message.On that day, the rainy sky cleared up, the clouds dispersed, and the ground, which had been wet and muddy from the rain, dried up. A transparent veil came over the sun and multicolored lights were strewn across the landscape. The sun then began to spin, twirling in the sky, and at one point appeared to plunge in a mighty zigzag course toward the earth.The crowd was terrified, fearing this was the end of the world. However, the sun reversed course and, retracing its zigzagging course, returned to its normal place in the heavens. All of this transpired in approximately ten minutes. After realizing they were not doomed, the crowd began ecstatically laughing, crying, shouting, and weeping. Many discovered their previously drenched clothing to be perfectly dry.The stunning event contradicted the atheistic regimes at the time, which is evidenced by the fact that the first newspaper to report on the miracle on a full front page was an anti-Catholic, Masonic newspaper in Lisbon, “O Seculo.”This last Marian apparition in Fatima showed that God is present in human history and doesn't abandon humanity.The miracle of the sun was understood by the people as confirmation that the three children were telling the truth about the Marian apparitions and the messages of the Secret of Fatima, which consists of three parts.The first part was a frightening vision of hell, “where the souls of poor sinners go,” and contained an urgent plea from Our Lady for acts of prayer and sacrifice to save souls, with particular emphasis on praying the rosary and devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.The second part of the “Secret” specifically prophesied the outbreak of World War II and contained the prediction of the immense damage that Russia would do to humanity by abandoning the Christian faith and embracing Communism's totalitarianism.The third part was not revealed until 2000. Its revelation coincided with the beatification of Francisco and Jacinta. It did not contain any striking or cataclysmic prediction, but, instead, the vision supported and affirmed the immense suffering endured by witnesses of the faith in the last century of the second millennium.Sister Lucia, the surviving member of the Fatima trio, confirmed that in the vision “the Bishop clothed in white,” who prays for all the faithful, is the Pope. As he makes his way with great difficulty towards the Cross amid the corpses of those who were martyred (bishops, priests, men and women religious, and many lay people), he too falls to the ground, apparently dead, under a hail of gunfire.That vision could have predicted the 1981 attack on Pope John Paul II's life. The Pope has always credited the Virgin for his survival. Or it may be a portrayal of the Church's ongoing struggle against secularism and anti-Christian movements, as well as a continuing call to prayer, sacrifice, and devotion to Our Lady of Fatima.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!

Dwight D. Eisenhower was born in Denison, Texas, in 1890. He was the President of the United States when I was born in Dallas, Texas, 68 years later.People called me “Little Roy.” People called him “Ike.”I worry that we have forgotten him.Ike Eisenhower graduated from the United States Military Academy in 1915 when he was 24 years old. His superiors noticed his organizational abilities, and appointed him commander of a tank training center during World War I.In 1933, he became aide to Army Chief of Staff General Douglas MacArthur, and in 1935 Ike went with him to the Philippines when MacArthur accepted the post of chief military adviser to that nation's government.On June 25, 1942, Ike Eisenhower was chosen over 366 senior officers to lead the Armed Forces of the United States in World War II.After proving himself on the battlefields of North Africa and Italy in 1942 and 1943, Ike Eisenhower was appointed supreme commander of Operation Overlord – the Allied invasion of northwestern Europe.Ike was now commanding the Armed Forces of all 49 Allied nations – including Great Britain, the Soviet Union, and China – in the war against Hitler and his minions. He personally planned and supervised two of the most consequential military campaigns of World War II: Operation Torch in the North Africa campaign in 1942–1943 and the invasion of Normandy in 1944.Ike Eisenhower never talked like a tough guy, but only a fool would call him “weak” or “woke.”This past July, Robert Reich – an eloquent and intelligent spokesperson on the left – quoted a passage from an anti-war speech that Ike Eisenhower made at the beginning of his presidency in 1953. Reich ended his quote just prior to Ike's unsettling reference to the crucifixion of Christ.Eloquent and intelligent people on the right refused to believe that a celebrated warrior had ever made a speech that could be classified as “anti-war.”Curious, I decided to get to the bottom of it.Here is a link to the complete transcript and original recording of the speech that President Dwight D. Eisenhower made before the American Society of Newspaper Editors on April 16, 1953, from the Statler Hotel in Washington, D.C.This is the passage from that speech that got everyone worked up:“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.This world in arms is not spending money alone.It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children.The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities.It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population.It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals, it is some 50 miles of concrete pavement.We pay for a single fighter plane with a half million bushels of wheat.We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people.This is, I repeat, the best way of life to be found on the road the world has been taking.This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.”The title of that speech was originally “Chance for Peace,” but due to the vivid mental image contained in the middle of the speech, it quickly became known as the “Cross of Iron” speech.Words have impact when they contain vivid mental images.I own guns, but I am not a hunter. Neither my family nor my friends have ever seen my guns. But in the unlikely event of a home invasion, I am adequately prepared to protect

In this sermon from Pastor John, we explore how Jesus places two things before His disciples: a set of keys and a cross. He gives His Church real authority—but then calls us to deny ourselves, take up our cross, and follow Him. Because life in the Kingdom isn't about grasping for control, but surrendering to the King. We naturally reach for the keys... but hesitate at the cross. Yet Jesus shows us that true life is found not in saving ourselves, but in laying everything down for His sake.Mission Church — www.missionlasvegas.com
Keith came to know about Jesus at a youth football camp. But it wasn't until he was much older that he developed a relationship with Him. From there, he wanted to world to experience the love he had felt. As a result, he accepted the call in 1985 to take God's love around the world in the form of a massive wooden cross. Over 40 years later, his passion for souls coming to know Christ is still just as strong.Want to become a partner:www.faithignite.us/donateWant to connect with Keith:www.kw.org

What does the cross mean to you?
Read Online“This generation is an evil generation; it seeks a sign, but no sign will be given it, except the sign of Jonah. Just as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so will the Son of Man be to this generation.” Luke 11:29–30Do you ever find yourself looking for signs from God? Often when we go through life, navigating through the ups and downs we all experience, we can easily find ourselves looking for signs from God about what we should do about this or that. And though God certainly communicates to us at times through special graces that are signs from Heaven, the passage above gives clarity to what sign we must be most attentive to.The simple message in this Gospel passage from our Lord is that we must discover the meaning of the most profound sign ever given and use that as the foundation of all our decisions in life. Jesus' life, death, and resurrection were not only the source of eternal life, they are also the clearest sign we need as we make all of our decisions in life.A sign is some action that reveals a deep and hidden mystery. One mystery that Jesus' life, death and resurrection reveals is that if we are to share in the new life won for us by His Cross, then we must follow the example He set by living a life of selfless sacrifice, laying down our lives for others, so that they will discover and embrace the new life of Christ's Resurrection. Practically speaking, if you find yourself looking for answers in life, seeking signs from God about what you should do at times, then turn your eyes to the life of Christ and ponder ways in which you can more fully imitate His life in every daily practical decision you make. This is true whether you are discerning some important decision in life or some small practical decision. It is common to engage in such a discernment by looking at ourselves in a more selfish way. It's difficult to move away from this line of thinking, but if we are to use the “sign” of the Son of Man, then we will discern our life decisions very differently. When we use the life, death and resurrection of our Lord as the source of our discernment and decision making in life, then we will end up making decisions that imitate His selfless sacrifice of love. So if you are faced with a decision, you will not ponder what is easier or what you prefer; rather, you will ponder what is more selfless and best for others. What is it that best imitates the sacrificial love of Jesus? Reflect, today, upon any decision you are trying to make. Then reflect upon how you are going about this decision. Do you use the witness Jesus gave to us as the foundation of your discernment? Do you reflect upon how you can lay your life down as a sacrificial gift for others? Do you look at love from the point of view of the Cross of our Lord and strive to imitate His glorious and selfless dedication to the salvation of those whom He loves? Seek to imitate our Lord, using the witness of His actions as the foundation of all of your discernment and decisions in life, and you will have discovered the only true sign you need to navigate the challenges of life. My perfect Lord, every decision You made in life was made out of love and was in accord with the perfect will of the Father. Give me the grace I need to make every decision in life in imitation of Your perfect example. May my life imitate You as You laid down Your life for others. I choose You and Your glorious sacrificial life as the sign by which I am directed in life. Jesus, I trust in You.Image by Dimitris Vetsikas from PixabaySource of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2025 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.

Job is a poetic book probably written in the fourth or fifth century BC, possibly written in Persia. The authors (there appears to be more than one) were almost certainly Israelites—but the story itself occurs outside of Israel and doesn't appear to have Jewish characters. The book is a poetic exploration of the problem of suffering and our response to it.
