On behalf of this most auspicious occasion of Easter Sunday, celebrating the resurrection of Christ and the upsurge of spring-time energy in nature, we reflect a little bit on Christ as Solar Deity. Importantly, I wanted to compare the Christ's resurrection to the resurrection of Osiris in Egyptian mythology and how that might mirror not only the Tantrik understanding of Shakta Peethas (i.e the natural world as a metaphor for spiritual themes in the soul's journey) but also the reverence for the Sun that we see in Vedic and Saurya-Tantrik context! This lecture follows closely on the heels of the discussion had earlier this week on Why We Worship the SunIt is after all Easter Sun-day!Mainly though, we spend some time reflecting on the Christ's innovation on spiritiuality: that of learning to regard God as your very own, your intimate Master, Friend, Parent, Child and Lover.Christ expressly stressed the first three relationships with a strong emphasis on the third. In this class, using Swami Vivekananda's Bhakti Yoga book, we say a few words about "God as Divine Child" having already discussed "God as Master" and "God as Friend" in the How To be God's Friendand How To Be Powerful Like Hanumanlectures respectively. Jai Christ ji! May this be an offering at the lotus feet of that great master, embodiment of purity and incarnation of love. May he arise in all our hearts today! May we all become Christ-like by his grace!Here is a playlist on all things Tantrik Christianity. Support the show
I was so excited and honored to welcome Franco Romero, a beloved spiritual teacher, near death experiencer, and best selling author. We go deep into an enlightening conversation, where he shares his profound near-death experience (NDE) and the impact it has had on his spiritual evolution. We explore topics like spiritual awakening, the role of cosmic events such as solar and lunar eclipses, and the mystical nature of reality. I LOVED when the conversation veered into the importance of viewing life as a game or an illusion and how we can reclaim our divine intelligence. There is SO much to this part of the conversation, so don't miss it! Tune in for an inspiring discussion that bridges the gap between the metaphysical and the everyday, offering insights into how current astrological activity is influencing our collective spiritual journey.

In episode six, I delve into the deep presence I felt of a female lineage I never knew. I longed to uncover their lost stories. I recall moving to New York in my 20s, where I worked in publishing and retraced my ancestors' steps. After falling in love, I left NYC to join my husband, whose training and career prompted moves around the country. The importance of creativity dulled as I focused on work, linear thinking, and fitting in. Eventually, I encountered a graduate program in Jungian-oriented Depth Psychology, which exposed my long-forgotten, soul yearnings. By sharing my stories of vulnerability and also beginning to pen FBI Girl, I felt vitality return. I was reconciling with my own feeling heart, writing my own myth. Many people today yearn to embrace their unique wisdom. What we do with that yearning becomes a gift, an anchor into our original belonging. We don't need to look to external sources for meaning as we tap into that inner “Divine Child” archetypal energy. Accessing this inner wisdom leads to liberation. New paths open up as we challenge old silences and begin to create a new life narrative. Being with my parents as they transitioned revealed hidden stories from their first 14 years of life and inspired this podcast series! I invite listeners to consider the childhood events that shaped their lives as sources of healing and also as gifts for life transformation. This treasure trove of embodied remembrance is a reflection of our mythic uniqueness, a reminder of why we are here, and what is ours to offer the world during these times of transition.Honoring Mary Ann Hogan ConlonMother, Activist, Writer, Advocate/Intellectual Disabilities Movement, Thinker & EducatorTopics Covered:(03:52) The reckoning of our divine assignment(11:18) Sixth-grade poem about divine nature (16:04) Love's tidal wave(23:48) “Maybe I felt too much.”(27:36) Creative momentum returns (34:43) Mythmaking to anchor purpose (39:51) Purpose beyond achievement (44:07) Vital aliveness of your first 14 years (50:49) Thank you, Joe and Mary Conlon(54:45) Liberated by the Divine Child archetypeStay Connected:mauraconlon.com @orginalbeloning on Instagram Maura Conlon on Facebook Credit:Podcast series production by Media Midwife Ahri GoldenPodcast series launch by The Wave PodcastingAbout: In this series, I explore how the significant influences and archetypal events experienced in our first 14 years of life set the stage for what is most meaningful throughout our adult years. In times of transition, a voice wonders: who am I at the soul level, at my essence? Our earliest resonant moments of awe–what lit us up–offer direct access into the root system of our original belonging.

This podcast is focused on Inner Child Work. It explains the role of Inner Child Work in psychological healing and emotional wellbeing. Inner Child work is also related to shamanic concept of Soul Loss and the spiritual concept of the Divine Child. Most of our negative emotions or self-limiting beliefs are formed during our childhood and adolescence years. Because of that, our emotional wellbeing is directly related to the emotional health and wellbeing of our Inner Child. If you are a wounded healer or in a spiritual awakening journey, finding and healing your Wounded Inner Child in all its ages should be your foremost and primary mission. This is the Part 2 and is focused on Inner Child Meditation. In Part 1, we focused on the concept of Inner Child and its relationship to emotional wellbeing. We also learned how our Inner Child becomes emotionally wounded, and what we need to do to heal it. Part 2 here is an experiential inner child meditation, designed to cultivate a compassionate connection to your Inner Child. If you have not listened to Part 1, consider doing so using the link provided in the description below, and return to this part later. Alternative, if you are only interested in doing an Inner Child Meditation, you are in the right place. Meditations like the one we are about to do is an effective way to initiate a compassionate inner dialogue with your Inner Child in different ages. I use first person in this meditation, so when you listen in, try to embody the words as if they come from somewhere deeper within you. This also helps your Inner Child notice your love and compassion, and realize that you want them to heal and reclaim their true nature, which is pure, inspired, and full of life energy.

This podcast is focused on Inner Child Work. It explains the role of Inner Child Work in psychological healing and emotional wellbeing. Inner Child work is also related to shamanic concept of Soul Loss and the spiritual concept of the Divine Child. Most of our negative emotions or self-limiting beliefs are formed during our childhood and adolescence years. Because of that, our emotional wellbeing is directly related to the emotional health and wellbeing of our Inner Child. In other words, the emotional state of our Inner Child largely dictates the emotional state of our mind as adults. If you are a wounded healer or in a spiritual awakening journey, finding and healing your Wounded Inner Child in all its ages should be your foremost and primary mission. The topics are organized in two parts. Part 1 focuses on what causes our Inner Child to become wounded, and what we need to do to heal our Inner Child. We also see how Inner Child is related to the shamanic concept of Soul Loss, and the spiritual concept of the Divine Child. Part 2 is an experiential inner child meditation, designed to cultivate a compassionate connection to our Inner Child. In Part 1, we cover on the following topics:- How our Inner Child became Wounded (Inner Child Needs) - Relationship between the Inner Child and Soul Loss- Relationship between the Inner Child and the Divine Child- Working with our Wounded Inner Child - Self-Guided Inner Child Work for Wounded Healers This podcast is produced by Aion Farvahar, who is a Life and Spirituality Mentor, and a Psychoshamanic and IFS Self-Leadership Practitioner.

Thinking about the priesthood and nervous about the next steps? Three priests dispel myths about what it's really like in seminary(0:05) Fr. Jeremy Schupbach, 27, a newly ordained priest of the Archdiocese of Detroit serving at the Church of the Divine Child in Dearborn, talks about the moment he first heard the call to the priesthood from an early age. The narrator introduces the topic of the episode.(3:35) Fr. Schupbach talks about his first experience of life as a seminarian — a very human moment in which he found himself three hours late for orientation.(8:30) Fr. Schupbach talks about some of the misconceptions he had about seminary life, and how they were quickly dispelled when he moved into the dormitories of Sacred Heart Major Seminary.(10:45) Fr. Clint McDonnell, director of undergraduate seminarians at Sacred Heart, and Fr. Craig Giera, director of priestly vocations for the Archdiocese of Detroit, dispel the myth that seminary life is boring and monastic. Fr. Schupbach emphasizes the fun elements of life in communion with other seminarians, including Sacred Heart's best-kept secret: a bar called O'Berg's.(16:09) Fr. Schupbach addresses the sacrifices priests make when they're ordained — particularly the sacrifice of marriage and children. He talks about how the seminary encourages seminarians to pray about and wrestle with these sacrifices, and how the life of priesthood is a gift unto itself.(19:12) Fr. Giera and Fr. McDonnell talk about the process of discernment that happens inside the seminary walls. Both priests emphasize that the seminary isn't a place where men go only once they're 100% sure they want to become priests, but a place to ask questions and receive answers. And sometimes the answer is that God isn't calling a man.(25:12) All three men talk about how much they love the priesthood, and how seminary life prepared them to fulfill the calling they felt from God. They offer advice for listeners — particularly young men who think they might also be called to the seminary.Reporting and narration by Michael Stechschulte; script by Casey McCorry; production by Ron PangbornThe love of family is forever. A lasting gift of love is preplanning your final resting place. Preplanning your burial site brings comfort to those you love. It ensures that your wishes are met and that no financial burden or unnecessary stress remains for those you leave behind. Give yourself and those you love the gift of peace of mind.

(00:03) Join Fr. Craig Giera and Fr. David Pellican as they welcome Fr. John Dudek to this episode of "Men of the Hearts." They discuss current events, upcoming weddings, and graduations, sharing personal stories and creating a sense of community. (10:35) Short Vocation Story: Fr. John Dudek was previously married, and has two daughters. After an annulment, he entered seminary and has been assigned to Divine Child parish for two years, serving the school and the parish. He was recently asked by Archbishop Vigneron to transfer to St. Regis Parish. They discuss Fr. John's time at Pope St. John XXIII National Seminary in Boston, a school for “late in life vocations” to the priesthood. (25:15) After 26 years as a teacher, when Fr. John entered seminary, he believed he would never be back in the school system. “Those days are behind me.” He was surprised to feel joy at being stationed at a parish with an elementary school and realized that “God uses everything.” During his time in seminary, he felt the Lord telling him when he stood at the altar, “This is your new classroom.” They discuss Camp Sancta Maria, a Catholic summer camp Fr. John attended in 8th grade and returned to this summer as the priest chaplain. (31:27) Living a time of lasts: the three priests reflect on the reality of being moved to new assignments and living in obedience to the Archbishop. They talk about living close to God's heart as they leave behind communities they've poured themselves into, projects they've started, and relationships they formed. They share stories of simple or practical mistakes they've made during sacraments or Mass. They share a conversation about community life and sharing a rectory at Divine Child. The episode ends with Fr. David Pellican sharing about what his life will look like in Rome, living arrangements, studies, and wisdom from priests friends. (56:05) A word of encouragement: “You go off to the seminary wandering if you're worthy to serve as a priest. And then you're ordained, and you realize you're an instrument God is using to help His people. It's humbling and it's beautiful.” Fr. John shares, “If you've ever thought or wondered what it would be like to be a priest, you need to reach out to Fr. Craig, the vocations director.”

Today, what wants to come through me is an inner child meditation. Each of us has a part or parts rather that live inside of us that could be dubbed the inner child. Specifically today, we are going to be working with that female inner child inside of you and the male inner child inside of you, little boy and the little girl that live inside of you and govern your life subconsciously.There's a lot of healing that needs to come through this space today for those parts, those aspects of yourself, and I could not be more thrilled to be a guide on this journey today. Please enjoy!***Instagram: @thisismariyaofficialWebsite: thisismariya.comYoutube: @thisismariyaofficial***If you enjoyed the podcast, would you please consider living a short review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify?

Mandeville, LA - Today is the day we celebrate the Feast of The Holy Family, given to us by God as The example to model our lives by and for the young to aspire to begin families in their image. In a world gone mad and given to the most hideous practices of "family-life" e.g. the obsession with helping 5 year olds to "transition", the Holy Family's example deservedly shines as a beacon to illuminate this age of familial sacrilege. The Holy Family by Juan Guiterrez The recognition of The Holy Family has roots that extend all the way back to the writing of the Gospels when Saint Luke tells us that after finding Our Lord in the temple “he went down with them and came to Nazareth and was subject to them”. Bishop Fulton Sheen. In his speech titled Obedience and Love, Bishop Fulton Sheen takes this passage and explains the beauty and humility of Our Lord and the holiness of his family as the greatest example there ever was. “What adds particular emphasis to the fact of His obedience was that Our Blessed Lord was subject to parents so much His inferiors --- even as a creature is far below a Creator. One day the sun in the heavens, in obedience to the voice of a Man, stopped in its course. So, obedient to the voice of Mary, the Light of the World submitted for thirty years --- I might almost say that it stopped in full midday to illumine, embrace, and enrich her for all eternity.” And that Our Lord was subject to the greatest model of fatherhood God ever created, the Bible's only “just man”, Saint Joseph. Bishop Sheen continues. “If Joseph ever bade Him search for a tool that was lost, it was the Wisdom of God and the Shepherd in search of lost souls who was actually doing the seeking. If Joseph taught Him carpentry, He Who was taught was One Who had carpentered the universe and Who would one day be put to death by the members of His own profession. If He made a yoke for the oxen of a neighbor, it was He Who would call Himself a yoke for men —-- and yet a burden that would be light.” Raimundo de Madrazo Garreta - The Holy Family I have spoken of the fact that the entire civilization of Man can be brought into existence and made to flourish through the Divine prose of the 4th Commandment, that is the Family, made Holy by God's Grace, contra the example of the Prince of this world; Bishop Sheen concurs. But there is no evidence that Jesus limited Mary and Joseph to the mere nominal right to command. The Gospel says: "He lived there in subjection to them." Two great miracles of humility and exaltation are involved --- God obeying a woman, and a woman commanding her God. The very fact that He makes Himself subject endows her with power. By this long span of voluntary obedience, He revealed that the Fourth Commandment is the bedrock of family life. For, looking at it in a larger way, how could the primal sin of disobedience against God be undone except by the obedience in the flesh of the very God Who was defied? The first revolt in God's universe of peace was the thunderbolt of Lucifer: "I will not obey!" Eden caught up the echo, and down the ages its infraction traveled, winging its way into the nook and crevices of every family where there were gathered a father, a mother, and a child. By making Himself subject to Mary and Joseph, the Divine Child proclaims authority in the home and in public life to be a power granted by God Himself. The Life of Saint Joseph, available in paperback! In her one of a kind work, Maria Cecilia Baij, O.S.B., The Life of Saint Joseph, Our Lord manifested revelation to Sister Cecilia about the life of Saint Joseph. In one of them, the fining of Our Lord in the temple is revealed in detail. The divine youth, meanwhile, had concluded his expositions. And everyone applauded. Jesus now hastened to his mother who was lovingly waiting for him, and who declared: “son, why have you done this to us? Your father and I have sought you amid great sorrow.

Laurie Huston from News the Heart is talking with Tracy McBurney on New Immune System. We began this discussion because I had been under the weather for over 10 days and Tracy had just worked with someone similarly that also required this New Immune System Energy. This is an important Healing for those who need it. We requested a Divine Hug and Divine Compassion and also our Divine Child joined it to make it even more important. It combined a way to connect Playfully - which is something we tend to forget that life doesn't have to be serious. All we need to do is to set our intention and Willingness to Accept, Allow and Receive our New Immune System. Also, we shared the numbers that Lloyd Mear wrote in the book Energy Balancing by Numbers as explained in the show 3.6-1.1.9.4-4.8-1-0-2.2-1.5-8. This was another powerful show. Join us for this fascinating discussion! We're Getting to the Heart of what Matters!

“Find Jesus in the Eucharist. If you want to know what God wants, go to Him.” Fr. Craig Giera and Fr. David Pellican are joined by Fr. Perrin Atisha who shares his journey to ordination at age 26 for the Chaldean Eparchy of St. Thomas the Apostle. Through a powerful retreat in high school, time in Eucharistic Adoration, his father's approval of his vocation, and a trip to Iraq, God showed Fr. Perrin that he was called to the priesthood. Now Director of Vocations, Fr. Perrin gives valuable insight into the heart of a priest and discernment 101. “We don't need perfect men. We need men who are in love with God.” Show Notes: (00:03) Fr. Craig Giera and Fr. David Pellican welcome us to this episode of Men of the Hearts. This episode's guest serves as the Director of Vocations for the Chaldean Eparchy of St. Thomas the Apostle. He recently attended a national conference for vocation directors. Fr. David shares that he has finally finished remodeling a private chapel in the Divine Child rectory. (9:09) Fr. Perrin shares his vocation story: He has two brothers and a sister, and they were raised as devout Chaldean Catholics. At age five, Fr. Perrin started altar serving and, a year later, told his mother, “I want to do what the priest does.” But in high school, he fell into “living a double life.” He describes it as, “I wasn't truly living for the Lord.” In Mass, he marveled at the priesthood and felt a desire to pursuing a priestly vocation. But outside of Mass, he felt “distracted by the world.” (16:40) A Kairos Retreat in high school changed Fr. Perrin's relationship with God. And in the Eucharistic Adoration chapel at his high school, Fr. Perrin experienced “the presence of God” as he began to visit the chapel during his lunch period. Later at Wayne State University, a priest welcomed him to the Newman Center with such intentionality and joy, and he was drawn into college ministry even leading Bible studies. After feeling ready to enter seminary after college, he was asked to wait a year. While hurt and angry then, he looks back and says, “If I didn't have that year, I don't think I would be a priest.” (32:02) Prayer life in discernment: Fr. Perrin attended Eucharistic Adoration daily and Mass during the week. He also prayed with scripture regularly and read the lives of the saints. Fr. Perrin shares how he overcame struggles with his father's attitude towards him pursuing a priestly vocation. He felt the time he most struggled with his vocation was between the time he was accepted into seminary and the time he entered. He can see in retrospect that those doubts for himself and his vocation were not from God but from the evil one. (44:16) Adjustments in the seminary: Fr. Perrin shares how his relationship with his father and mother changed as he journeyed through seminary. His father grew in approval of his vocation and their relationship improved, and his mother grew in allowing Fr. Perrin to have independence in his discernment. “Just because there are struggles, doesn't mean God isn't calling us.” (51:42) Ordination: “I always knew I would love being a priest, but I didn't know it would be this beautiful.” He shares that the theme of his priesthood is, “God takes care of me.” He enjoys offering Mass and preaching. He talks about his discernment deciding whether to become a Chaldean or a Roman Rite priest and what went into making his decision, especially a trip to Iraq in 2017. Fr. Perrin offers some advice to men discerning, “Find Jesus in the Eucharist. If you want to know what God wants, go to Him. Be in love with the Lord.” He closes the episode in prayer.

“Never be afraid to accept your vocation. Because God will supply what we need.” Fr. Craig Giera and Fr. David Pellican are joined by Fr. Matthew Hood. Together they discuss Fr. Matt's journey from asking big questions about the Faith in high school to being ordained a priest. After spending eight years in seminary, Fr. Matt has served the Archdiocese of Detroit in parish and school ministry. He offers advice for men discerning: “If God has given you even the smallest desire for the priesthood, pursue it. That doesn't happen often.” Show Notes: (00:03) Fr. Craig Giera and Fr. David Pellican welcome us to this episode of Men of the Hearts. This month's guest is Fr. Matthew Hood, the chaplain for Detroit Catholic Campus Ministry which serves Wayne State University and the University of Michigan – Dearborn as well as the surrounding campuses. He shares about his summer abroad in Brazil on a mission trip with FOCUS, Fellowship of Catholic University Students. (10:40) The Costco King: the hosts and Fr. Matt play a game related to opinions about Costco. Fr. Craig announces the winner of the competition will be announced at the end of the episode. (16:33) Fr. Matt's vocation story: In high school, Fr. Matt found himself asking many big questions about faith while attending St. Joseph Parish in Lake Orion. He found that the Catholic Church offered the answers to every question he proposed in a more profound manner, allowing him to trust and surrender. He began to desire not just to know God but also to develop a relationship with Him. Spending time in the local Eucharistic Adoration chapel is where he first felt a desire for the priesthood. (20:15) While before the Lord in Eucharistic Adoration, Fr. Matt began praying with Scripture, particularly the passage of Jesus calling the disciples on the Sea of Galilee in which he felt the Lord telling him “To follow Him, throw down my nets, put out into the deep” as a priest. But he pushed the thought to the side. (25:51) From questions to his vocation: Fr. Matt explains in more detail the journey from asking questions to considering the priesthood. In encountering Jesus as the Way, the Truth, and the Life, he felt the Lord kept placing the call to the priesthood on his heart. Fr. Matt enrolled at Central Michigan University his freshmen year and participated in Catholic Campus Ministry which helped to further confirm his vocation to the priesthood. (31:34) The process of entering seminary: joy, friendship, and fraternity played a pivotal role for Fr. Matt. He applied and was accepted to the seminary, where he found the first year challenging. He was tempted to feel “I'm not holy enough, I'm not worthy enough.” He was challenged by doubts and an experience of feeling undeserving of the priesthood. (43:25) Life as a priest: The priests talk about Fr. Matt's experience of working at Divine Child parish and school. He then describes how he lives out his priesthood walking with college students, including hosting events for exploring the Faith and deepening one's conversion. Fr. Matt recommends finding a priest as a spiritual director to help guide a man considering a vocation to the priesthood. “What might be the next step?” They discuss key advice for how to discern if God is calling a man to the priesthood. “God speaks to us in silence. If there is a small desire for priesthood, pay attention to it, have courage, don't be afraid, and seek it.” Fr. Matt closes the episode in prayer.

Friends of the Rosary: Today, June 27, the Universal Church of Christ, celebrates the feast of Our Lady of Perpetual Help. This Marian advocation revolves around the icon of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, painted on wood, with background of gold, in the thirteenth century. It is Byzantine in style and it represents the Mother of God holding the Divine Child while the Archangels Michael and Gabriel show the instruments of His Passion. Our Lady appears full of sorrow, expressing compassion and sympathy for us in our fears. The icon was brought to Rome towards the end of the fifteenth century by a pious merchant. Since then, crowds, including Popes, have venerated the icon, and many graces and marvelous healings were obtained through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin. Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! Our Lady of Perpetual Help, Pray for Us! + Mikel A. | RosaryNetwork.com, New York [ Second Year Anniversary | In the Memory of María Blanca ] • June 27, 2021, Today's Holy Rosary on YouTube — Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET
In the inaugural edition of Open Door Policy “mini-sodes,” listen to some of our favorite moments from past shows, where guests share why they love the Eucharist and how it has changed their lives. Hear how Sr. Maria Veritas encounters Jesus as her spouse daily, in the Blessed Sacrament, how Melissa Florian's desires that fueled addiction were transformed into a hunger for the Eucharist, and how Fr. David Pellican's love for the Eucharist is propelling his dream of cultivating a love for the Eucharist among young people. Show notes: (00:16) Reflecting on why the Eucharist is powerful for Catholics, we reflect on the fact that so many guests on Open Door Policy have shared about their deep love for Jesus' presence in the Blessed Sacrament and introduce Sr. Maria Veritas, a Dominican Sister of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist. (01:17) Sr. Maria Veritas shares how she treasures the opportunity to encounter Jesus as her spouse in Adoration. She shares how, even in periods of dryness, she still depends on this time spent daily with Jesus in adoration. (02:39) We revisit the episode featuring Melissa Florian, who had spoken about a transformative encounter with Jesus on Father's Day, which was closely followed by an intense desire to go to Mass. (03:03) Melissa shares what it was like to respond to her encounter with Christ, by going to Mass, where she was overcome with a desire to receive the Eucharist. She discusses how, while she had sought fulfillment through her addiction previously, she finally found her desires satisfied through Jesus. Co-host Emily then speaks from her own experience about how the Eucharist led her to Confession and, even when going to Confession was difficult, she desired the Eucharist more than she feared going to Confession. (07:10) Fr. Patrick invites Melissa to pray with listeners to increase their desire for the Eucharist and she passionately intercedes on behalf of all listeners. (08:00) We introduce Fr. David Pellican whose life and work has been marked by a love for the Eucharist. Fr. David shares about his encounters with Christ throughout his whole life, looking all the way back to his First Communion, and the intense sense of Jesus' love he experienced. (09:41) Fr. David goes on to share what spiritual growth looks like for him these days, emphasizing Mass, adoration, and spiritual reading. He especially highlights the value of visiting Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament chapel many times each day (a habit which developed from a penance he was given), and what a source of life that is for him. (11:38) Fr. David shares about his dreams, from his vantage point as the Associate Pastor of Divine Child Parish. He discusses how important it is for him that the students at Divine Child encounter Jesus authentically. He also shares how the high schoolers, in particular, have responded to the opportunity to spend more time with Jesus in adoration. (15:06 ) Reflecting on the power of these Eucharistic testimonies listeners are encouraged to seek out opportunities to spend time with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. Thanks for listening to Open Door Policy!

This episode of Men of the Hearts is full of priestly fraternity, two inspiring vocation stories, and encouragement against fears of inadequacy related to the priesthood. Join hosts Fr. Craig Giera and Fr. David Pellican as they welcome Fr. David's fellow Divine Child Parish clergy, Fr. Bob McCabe and Fr. John Dudek. Each shares his own vocation story, how to overcome “analysis paralysis” and fears related to returning to school in seminary, and how gifts are never wasted in a priestly vocation. “God is calling us to expand our comfort zone.” (00:31) Fr. Craig welcomes us to this episode. He reviews the previous episode with Fr. Tim Birney and insights into how to encourage priestly vocations. Fr. Craig then welcomes our episode's guests, the clergy at Divine Child Parish in Dearborn: Fr. Bob McCabe, Fr. John Dudek and Fr. David Pellican. They discuss recent blessings including overcoming health concerns, winning a sports bet, as well as excitement for the priesthood. Fr. David shares that he is working on building an altar for the private chapel at the rectory. (04:00) Fr. Bob is invited to share his vocation story with us. Fr. Bob is 68 years old and grew up in a Catholic family. In 10th grade, he wanted to be a movie director, but by his senior year in high school, he found an interest in photography. In college, Fr. Bob encountered a group that encouraged him to begin having a daily prayer life. Through living a sacramental life, Fr. Bob's heart was opened to becoming a priest. During this time he experienced “analysis paralysis.” He spent many years considering the priesthood. One misconception he had was that he thought he needed to be 100 percent certain that he was supposed to be a priest before entering the seminary. (15:36) Do we lose our gifts when we enter the priesthood? Fr. Bob highlights how he was able to use his photography skills as a priest, which included a 5-year project capturing photos of Detroit's homeless. Taking portraits of persons facing homelessness is something that brings him fulfillment. It is an expression of how Fr. Bob sees each person as unique – and everyone has their own story. (20:10) Fr. John Dudek shares his own experience of how God brought him to the priesthood. In high school, Fr. John's discussions with his chaplain lead him to enter seminary after high school. Following his departure from seminary, Fr. John got married and had two daughters. Afterwards, he received a degree in elementary education with a specialty in cognitive impairments and worked in special education for twenty-six years. After an annulment, Fr. John saw a “flame” in his heart for the priesthood. Through serving others and encountering a deacon, Fr. John felt the Lord calling him to enter the seminary after a 30-year gap in his seminary studies. (29:55) He mentions attending Pope St. John XXIII National Seminary in Boston, which was founded to serve men, 35-60 years old, who are discerning the priesthood. A nine-week program at the Institute for Priestly Formation helped Fr. John in his discernment. At times, he felt daunted by entering back into the classroom for his seminary studies. But he felt supported in his classes. “If God is calling you to be a priest, we'll make it happen.” The community of support in the seminary exists to help seminarians discern God's will and work through the necessary education. (39:00) The priests discuss the experience of living in a rectory together. They have recently started watching The Chosen. Fr. Bob describes the show as “life transforming, utterly brilliant.” The Divine Child rectory has four priests and they feel they are “stepping back in time” because of the community life they share. “There is so much gained by sharing rectory life. We pray together, we eat together.” Fr. Bob shares that he feels blessed to live with his fellow priests, grow, and minister together with them. (45:45) “The Ministry of Presence” is a way of life for the priests; they desire to be available to their parishioners and students. They find delight in encountering their flock and being accessible shepherds. “It's beautiful to build relationships.” They desire to be approachable and down to earth so that their spiritual children feel they can have a friendship with their priests. Both Fr. David and Fr. John detail different roles that they have taken on at Divine Child utilizing their unique gifts and talents with the students in the classroom. And Fr. Bob, Fr. John, and Fr. David discuss what liturgies they will be responsible for during Holy Week and the Triduum. (55:12) What advice would you give to a man considering the priesthood? “Always keep your heart open. Stay true to what you're feeling, what you're thinking. Going into the priesthood is a process. If you're true to the process and if you stay focused, you're know whether or not God is calling you to be a priest” is Fr. John's advice. Fr. Bob says, “Don't think you're too old; don't be afraid. A life of service to others is so fulfilling… and it also keeps you young.” Fr. Bob encourages men, “don't fall into the trap of thinking that you're not holy enough or not smart enough, or too nervous to speak in front of people.. You're invited to participate in the priesthood of Jesus Christ… that's where the Holy Spirit comes in. God is calling us to expand our comfort zone.” Fr. Bob used to be very nervous about public speaking but has learned to experience it as a fulfilling form of service. (59:07) “If you've ever thought about becoming a priest, give Fr. Craig a call” quips Fr. John. And Fr. Bob concludes “let that discernment unfold because God has a unique and unrepeatable vocation for each and every one of us. And we do well to search that out.” The episode is closed in prayer by Fr. Bob. And Fr. Craig thanks both Fr. Bob and Fr. John for being on the podcast. Links from this episode: Fr. Bob McCabe's YouTube channel, including his project with Detroit homeless “Winters on the Street” (https://www.youtube.com/user/frbobmccabe/videos)

(11:30) Fr. David transitions to discernment in the work of St. Ignatius, particularly his Spiritual Exercises. He also shares the fact that a parishioner at Divine Child painted (wrote) and presented him an icon of the holy saint, which sits on his desk. Fr. Craig mentions the importance of prayer in his past work creating art while he discerned the priesthood. (15:00) Fr. Craig explains who St. Ignatius is and how his life as a warrior and military man and love for reading tales of knights in shining armor was suddenly upended by a serious injury. While in his bed recovering, the only books available were those on the lives of the saints. And he shares that while reading these books, St. Ignatius, slowly but surely, became a warrior for Christ in his own conversion. (20:57) Fr. David introduces Fr. Timothy Gallagher's Discernment of Spirits and its connection to Ignatian Spirituality while talking about the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius. Both Fr. Craig and Fr. David explain how part of their seminarian formation included a 30-day silent retreat based on the Spiritual Exercises. They also delve deeper into the format of them and their experience on the retreat. (31:50) Fr. David introduces the Suscipe (from the Latin word “receive or accept”) prayer, which St. Ignatius recommended at the end of the retreat. Fr. Craig shares how the Lord spoke to him through the retreat, particularly the grace of belonging to a band of brothers, the winning team for saving souls as faithful priests. Fr. David, on the other hand, talks about how the Lord spoke to him through a meditation on particular judgment and the role of the Blessed Virgin Mary. (39:15) Fr. David talks about a few principles from the Spiritual Exercises about discerning or looking within at the heart: the thoughts, feelings, and desires. He focuses on consolation and desolation, according to the Rules of St. Ignatius. Both Fr. Craig and Fr. David explore moments of consolation and how they overcame times of desolation in their own lives. (50:20) Fr. David offers some tips from St. Ignatius for those who find themselves in moments of desolation. He emphasizes that times of desolation are a reminder that the graces of consolation are God's grace, not something we can earn. (55:20) Fr. David concludes with a prayer by St. Ignatius for desolation, and Fr. Craig thanks him for leading the discernment of spirits and talking about St. Ignatius.

In this week's episode, Nina connects with her good friend and fellow Hypnotherapist, Candice Enriquez, over coffee and together they dive into Candice's journey and how as a brand new mom she found the world of hypnotherapy through HypnoBirthing. Candice fell in love with her own HypnoBirthing experience and went on to learn how to teach this to other women through classes and also as a private birthing doula. In working with women, Candice came to realize that most of her clients experienced a heaviness coming into motherhood due to fears that were often caused by childhood, sexual, and other traumas that were unresolved. As a result, Candice went on to get advanced training as a Clinical and Transpersonal Hypnotherapist to assist in these deeper areas and developed Higher Mind Birthing to help empower clients to work through these areas in order to break the cycle that so often gets passed along to following generations.

Fr. Craig and Fr. David discuss signs from God, how we can prepare for them, and what signs might indicate a calling to the priesthood. *Show notes: * (0:59) Fr. Craig and Fr. David share updates from the past month. Fr. David mentions the snow chapel Divine Child built and the outdoor Mass they held, and Fr. Craig shares that the Vocations Office has started making sweatshirts, mugs, water bottles, and other merchandise. Fr. Craig also talks about the idea he's had to use his artwork as a visual way to explain what vocations are. Fr. David also gives us a monthly Costco update! (8:14) Fr. Craig introduces this episode's topic: the signs we receive from God. He reflects on the goodness of a push in the right direction from God, but also the risk we run of almost testing him. Fr. David talks about the stories of Zachariah and Mary, the basis of the incredulity each one felt when visited by the angel, and, as a result, the different outcomes of their responses. (11:42) Fr. Craig reflects on Mary's fiat as a vocation and considers artistic depictions of the Annunciation in which she is always reading scripture, preparing herself for whatever is to come. He and Fr. David both share experiences of times in their lives when they'd been asking for signs, maybe even testing the Lord a little. (16:10) The two reflect on the need to, like Mary, be prepared when you receive a sign, because the sign is just a guide or instruction, not a full description of what's supposed to happen. Fr. Craig discusses the need for relationship in following the signs that God has set. (19:42) Fr. David talks about his life before applying to the seminary. He mentions his family praying the rosary together, jobs he worked in high school, and his relationship with the Bible helping him to hear God's voice. He also mentions choosing St. Matthew as his confirmation saint for Matthew's immediate response to Jesus's call. (22:30) Fr. Craig reflects on the small signs we tend to miss, and how common this is when men are considering priesthood. A notable sign that Fr. Craig and Fr. David mention is the frequency of others telling them they'd make a good priest. They share some of their reactions when people would say this. (29:28) Fr. David and Fr. Craig shares that individuals who want to support the mission of vocations can do so by telling men they'd make good priests, and that this action can help people share in the graces of those priests. They relate this to St. Therese of Lisieux, who never traveled but is the patron of missionaries because of her intercessory prayer. They swap stories of others who are praying for them and discuss the power of prayer not only for priests, but for vocations. (33:11) The two consider more signs that drew them to the priesthood, and Fr. Craig reflects on being attracted to the Church and being interested in being in and around her. They look at this especially through the lens of being altar servers. (37:10) Fr. Craig shares a story of a grand, miraculous sign the Lord showed him that led him to eventually apply to Sacred Heart Major Seminary. He affirms, too, that God can work in big ways, but he usually moves in the everyday. (42:42) Fr. David shares the sign God gave him in the form of complete peace that helped him fully realize that he wanted to be a diocesan priest rather than a religious order priest. The two discuss the joy of seeing priests as real people, and the grace that comes from being in the seminary with a hundred other men with the same interest. (46:38) Both Fr. Craig and Fr. David affirm that the seminary is still time for more discernment and no one has to have the whole plan figured out in order to take the next step, but that everyone they know who attended the seminary — whether they became priests or not — remembers the formation fondly. They reflect on the great faculty and formatters at Sacred Heart, and that the Church is discerning your vocation as well. *Links from this episode: * Divine Child snow chapel (https://detroitcatholic.com/news/daniel-meloy/chapel-of-divine-chill-divine-child-takes-advantage-of-snow-for-special-ice-mass) Support Vocations with the Luminous Mysteries (https://detroitpriestlyvocations.com/pray-luminous-mysteries/) CARA reports (https://cara.georgetown.edu/publication/the-cara-report/) Sacred Heart Major Seminary (https://www.shms.edu/)
