In this episode of Ascend, The Great Books Podcast, host Deacon Harrison Garlick is joined by Fr. Justin Brophy, a Dominican friar and Assistant Professor of Political Science at Providence College, to dive into the first half of Plato's Apology. Check out thegreatbookspodcast.com for our reading schedule.Check out our collection of guides on the great books!The discussion explores Socrates' defense speech at his trial in 399 BC, set against the backdrop of post-Peloponnesian War Athens. The conversation delves into key themes, including the role of Aristophanes' The Clouds in shaping Socrates' negative reputation, the tension between philosophy and politics, and the influence of Alcibiades on the charges of impiety and corrupting the youth. Fr. Brophy and Deacon Garlick examine Socrates' claim of divine wisdom from the Oracle of Delphi, his distinction between human and divine wisdom, and his refusal to charge fees, distinguishing him from sophists. They also discuss the broader implications of Socrates as a threat to the democratic polis, the conflict between philosophy and poetry, and the natural antagonism between the demos and the great-souled man. The episode highlights Socrates' pedagogical approach and the relevance of his trial to modern questions of truth, virtue, and societal stability.Guest Introduction: Fr. Justin Brophy is a Dominican friar and Assistant Professor of Political Science at Providence College, where he has taught for five years. Holding a PhD in political theory from the University of Notre Dame, his teaching interests include ancient and contemporary political theory, philosophical conceptions of the human psyche, and thinkers such as Plato, Augustine, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Freud, and those in the modern Catholic intellectual tradition like Romano Guardini, Joseph Pieper, and Walker Percy. Fr. Brophy also serves as the director of the Center for Catholic and Dominican Studies at Providence College, fostering mission integration and intellectual exploration. His current research focuses on the political significance of Plato's Symposium, a dialogue he considers his favorite for its exploration of Eros and its historical context tied to Athens' decline.Key Discussion Points:Historical Context: The Apology is set in 399 BC, after Athens' defeat in the Peloponnesian War (404 BC) and Alcibiades' assassination (404 BC). The charges of impiety and corrupting the youth may indirectly target Socrates for Alcibiades' role in Athens' downfall, constrained by a post-war amnesty (23B-C).Aristophanes' The Clouds: Socrates addresses old accusations (18a) that he “can make the worst argument the stronger” and “does not believe in the gods,” rooted in Aristophanes' caricature of him as a sophist and atheist in The Clouds, which shaped public perception and fueled the trial's charges (19C, 31B-C).Philosophy vs. Politics: Socrates' philosophical questioning challenges the polis' laws and cultural norms, making him a political threat. Fr. Brophy notes, “Philosophy… forces you to reevaluate… the regime… the principles of law and… your culture. And that can be dangerous” (17B).Alcibiades' Influence: Alcibiades, a charismatic figure linked to Socrates, is seen as a key example of corrupting the youth due to his role in the disastrous Sicilian Expedition and defection to Sparta, amplifying fears of Socrates' influence (23B-C).Socratic Wisdom and the Oracle: Socrates recounts the Oracle of Delphi's claim that he is the wisest man (20E), leading him to...

In a heated segment, BT and Sal dissected the Mets' leadership, focusing on Francisco Lindor and a comment from Juan Soto about Starling Marte being the "actual captain" of the team. Sal argued that Soto's remark was a direct jab at Lindor's leadership, while caller Elvin offered a fiery perspective on the cultural rivalry between Dominican and Puerto Rican players that could be at play. The hosts and callers debated whether Lindor's massive contract and perceived lack of accountability have led to him being knocked around and undermined in the clubhouse, ultimately raising serious questions about the Mets' overall team dynamic.

Father Nathan Castle Talks About Doing Spirit Rescue Work Father Nathan Castle is a Dominican priest who lives and works in a community of Dominican men and women serving the University of Arizona in Tucson. He is a lovely, gentle, and very spiritual man, and About thirty years ago, he was recruited by elevated beings not in bodies to do spirit rescue work with them. As Roberta has only lately become willing to admit, almost twenty-five percent of people who die will go off-track for a time, and they often do that by their own choice. Which is where our wonderful friend Father Nathan often comes in! He is one of those who are trusted to help to rescue some of those off-track people, once they feel ready to complete their afterlife journey. Father Nathan's terrific first book in which he describes his rescue process came out several years ago. It was called Afterlife, Interrupted – Helping Stuck Souls Cross Over. And everything in it was completely consistent with what Roberta has learned during all her five decades of doing afterlife research. Then that book was followed by books two and three, with similar titles. Father Nathan's books are all wonderful and entirely consistent with the afterlife evidence, and he has become a regular on Seek reality. This is his eleventh time with us. His website is Father Nathan Castle, O.P. Learn more about Roberta here: http://robertagrimes.com https://seekreality.com

Friends of the Rosary,Today, August 23, the Catholic Church of Christ honors St. Rose of Lima (1586-1617), the first canonized saint in the Americas.She was a contemplative, who, inspired by the example of St. Catherine of Siena, became a Dominican lay tertiary devoted to works of charity while living a life of extreme austerity. Hers was a life heroic in virtue and penance.St. Rose of Lima suffered repeated attacks from the devil, painful physical illness, and from her family, scoldings and calumnies, accepting all of this serenely, remarking that she was treated better than she deserved.For fifteen years, she patiently endured the severe spiritual dryness. In reward, she experienced heavenly joys, the companionship of her guardian angel, and of the Blessed Virgin.She died at the age of 31, praying, “Lord, increase my sufferings, and with them increase your love in my heart.”Through constant prayer and mortification, she proclaimed the beauty of divine grace.Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!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!

Full Text of ReadingsMemorial of the Queenship of the Blessed Virgin Mary Lectionary: 423The Saint of the day is Queenship of the Blessed Virgin MaryThe Story of the Queenship of Mary Pope Pius XII established this feast in 1954. But the Blessed Virgin Mary's queenship has roots in Scripture. At the Annunciation, Gabriel announced that Mary's Son would receive the throne of David and rule forever. At the Visitation, Elizabeth calls Mary “mother of my Lord.” As in all the mysteries of Mary's life, she is closely associated with Jesus: Her queenship is a share in Jesus' kingship. We can also recall that in the Old Testament the mother of the king has great influence in court. In the fourth century Saint Ephrem called Mary “Lady” and “Queen.” Later Church fathers and doctors continued to use the title. Hymns of the 11th to 13th centuries address Mary as queen: “Hail, Holy Queen,” “Hail, Queen of Heaven,” “Queen of Heaven.” The Dominican rosary and the Franciscan crown as well as numerous invocations in Mary's litany celebrate her queenship. The feast is a logical follow-up to the Assumption, and is now celebrated on the octave day of that feast. In his 1954 encyclical To the Queen of Heaven, Pius XII points out that Mary deserves the title because she is Mother of God, because she is closely associated as the New Eve with Jesus' redemptive work, because of her preeminent perfection, and because of her intercessory power. Reflection As Saint Paul suggests in Romans 8:28–30, God has predestined human beings from all eternity to share the image of his Son. All the more was Mary predestined to be the mother of Jesus. As Jesus was to be king of all creation, Mary, in dependence on Jesus, was to be queen. All other titles to queenship derive from this eternal intention of God. As Jesus exercised his kingship on earth by serving his Father and his fellow human beings, so did Mary exercise her queenship. As the glorified Jesus remains with us as our king till the end of time (Matthew 28:20), so does Mary, who was assumed into heaven and crowned queen of heaven and earth.

Do you feel disconnected from your cultural heritage or identity? Tami did - even though she wasn't adopted. She was determined her daughter who was born in Ethiopia would feel connected with her heritage. Listen in as we dive into cultural heritage, identity and more.Here's a bit about Tami from her website:I grew up disconnected from my Dominican and Jamaican roots, always feeling like I wasn't “enough” of anything—not Latina enough, Caribbean enough, not even Black enough. I carried shame, confusion, and uncertainty about whether I even had the right to claim a heritage I barely knew. When I began exploring my roots, there were no guides, no roadmaps, or no one to show me where to start. I had to find my own way—slowly, and in a way that felt authentic to me.When I adopted my Ethiopian-born daughter, I promised she wouldn't grow up with that same disconnection. That promise became my purpose.I'm living this work every day—raising an Ethiopian daughter, caring for my aging mother, and navigating my own Dominican/Jamaican identity, all under one roof in Mexico. I know what this journey really looks like—and I'm here to walk it with you.Now, as a Cultural Heritage Reconnection Coach, I offer the support I once needed. I guide people to rediscover their roots, reclaim pride in who they are, and create a legacy so future generations never have to wonder where they belong.You don't need permission to reconnect.You just need a place to begin—and you don't have to do it alone.https://www.instagram.com/tamideegarcia/https://www.tiktok.com/@tamideegarciahttps://www.tamigarcia.com/https://www.facebook.com/TamiDeeGarcia Guests and the host are not (unless mentioned) licensed pscyho-therapists and speak from their own opinion only.

“I radiate the hope of the Holy Spirit, instead of the fear of condemnation.” Rose Folsom, a Lay Dominican, received God's transformative healing. After growing up in a home affected by alcoholism, Rose dated a young man who struggled with drug and alcohol addiction. In her journal, Rose compared herself to a “shattered mirror.” She experienced intense anxiety and looked for others' approval to build her sense of identity.  When Rose started attending Al-Anon, she began to experience the healing and transformation she longed for. “Al-Anon is a mutual support program for people whose lives have been affected by someone else's drinking.” Rose was gifted with the blessings of conversion and new life. Listen and develop greater trust and surrender to God. Discover, through God's grace, how to radiate love!

What happens when life ends suddenly, without warning or time to say goodbye? Few people have confronted that mystery as closely as Father Nathan G. Castle, O.P., a Dominican priest with an extraordinary ministry. For more than three decades, Father Nathan has been called in dreams to help souls who died traumatically or abruptly. Over 600 individuals who passed through accidents, violence, or sudden events have appeared to him seeking peace, healing, and a way forward. With prayer partners beside him, Father Nathan guides these souls through what he calls Interrupted Death Experiences™. His role is not about chasing the supernatural but about offering pastoral care and helping the departed release trauma so they can move into the light. In this powerful conversation with host Margaret Mary O'Connor, you'll hear how: Souls can become “stuck” after sudden death and what helps them move on Truth and compassion bring healing, even in the afterlife Families sometimes witness near-death visitations that ease the transition A young baseball player nicknamed “Iron Mike” found freedom after decades of guilt and confusion Speaking openly about mystical encounters helps others share their stories without shame Father Nathan also draws a clear line between his ministry and necromancy, explaining how his Dominican leadership recognizes this unique calling as part of his vocation. His stories reveal the profound variety of afterlife experiences and the hope that peace is always possible. Resources Mentioned: Father Nathan's website: nathan-castle.com Afterlife Interrupted series A conversation filled with faith, mystery, and compassion, offering a rare glimpse into what may await on the other side of life's most sudden endings. www.YourRadicalTruth.com/42-Father-Nathan

The atrium is a community in which children and adults live together a religious experience that facilitates participation in the wider community of the family, the church, and other social spheres. • The atrium is a place of prayer, in which work and study spontaneously become meditation, contemplation, and prayer. • The atrium is a place in which the only Teacher is Christ; both children and adults place themselves in a listening stance before his Word and seek to penetrate the mystery of the liturgical celebration.” - 32 Points of Reflection of The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd    Submit a Podcast Listener Question HERE!    Podcasts by Series  Level One Book Study  Level Two Book Study    Beate and Ann discuss the variety of meanings and the importance of de-schooling as it pertains to our work in catechesis.  Ann Garrido has been a catechist of the Good Shepherd since 1996.  She currently serves as a Level One catechist at her parish while she also serves as a formation leader for the US Association at all three levels.  Ann is an Associate Professor at Aquinas Institute of Theology, a graduate school of theology and ministry in the Dominican tradition.  She is the author of multiple works, including her newest book Redeeming Power about the healthy and holy exercise of leadership.  Ann Garrido's website HERE     Beate Buescher is a wife, mother, Omi, and catechist who began her journey with Catechesis of the Good Shepherd in 2003.

Instead it offers a glimpse into the religious life of the atrium, a specially prepared place for children to live out their silent request: “Help me come closer to God by myself.” Here we can see the child's spiritual capabilities and perhaps even find in our own souls the child long burdened with religious information. This book serves as a companion to the second volume, The Religious Potential of the Child 6 to 12 Years Old. The desire to have this essential text available in audio has been a long-held goal for many. The work of many hands has combined to bring this release to life as an audiobook.    Find out more about CGS:       Learn more about the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd     Follow us on Social Media-  Facebook at “The United States Association of the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd”  Instagram-  cgsusa  Twitter- @cgsusa  Pinterest- Natl Assoc of Catechesis of the Good Shepherd USA  YouTube- catechesisofthegoodshepherd

Full Text of ReadingsSaturday of the Eighteenth Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 412The Saint of the day is Saint Teresa Benedicta of the CrossSaint Teresa Benedicta of the Cross' Story A brilliant philosopher who stopped believing in God when she was 14, Edith Stein was so captivated by reading the autobiography of Teresa of Avila that she began a spiritual journey that led to her baptism in 1922. Twelve years later she imitated Saint Teresa by becoming a Carmelite, taking the name Teresa Benedicta of the Cross. Born into a prominent Jewish family in Breslau, Germany—now Wroclaw, Poland—Edith abandoned Judaism in her teens. As a student at the University of Göttingen, she became fascinated by phenomenology–an approach to philosophy. Excelling as a protégé of Edmund Husserl, one of the leading phenomenologists, Edith earned a doctorate in philosophy in 1916. She continued as a university teacher until 1922, when she moved to a Dominican school in Speyer; her appointment as lecturer at the Educational Institute of Munich ended under pressure from the Nazis. After living for four years in the Cologne Carmel, Sister Teresa Benedicta moved to the Carmelite monastery in Echt, Netherlands, in 1938. The Nazis occupied that country in 1940. In retaliation for being denounced by the Dutch bishops, the Nazis arrested all Dutch Jews who had become Christians. Teresa Benedicta and her sister Rosa, also a Catholic, died in a gas chamber in Auschwitz on August 9, 1942. Pope John Paul II beatified Teresa Benedicta of the Cross in 1987 and canonized her 12 years later. Reflection The writings of Edith Stein fill 17 volumes, many of which have been translated into English. A woman of integrity, she followed the truth wherever it led her. After becoming a Catholic, Edith continued to honor her mother's Jewish faith. Sister Josephine Koeppel, O.C.D., translator of several of Edith's books, sums up this saint with the phrase, “Learn to live at God's hands.” Saint Teresa Benedicta of the Cross is a Patron Saint of: Converts to ChristianityEurope Learn more about Saint Benedicta of the Cross!

Did you catch part 1 last week? if not run to the episode asap so you aren't behind. this episode is a continuation of last weeks conversation with Alex, Joose and BIG Fo

Friends of the Rosary,Today, August 8, is the Memorial of St. Dominic of Guzman, who received the devotion of the Holy Rosary from the Blessed Virgin Mary. To St. Dominic is attributed the origin and spread of the holy rosary.As many Popes have historically stated, St. Dominic received the Rosary as a gift from the Blessed Virgin Mary during a vision in a forest near Toulouse, France, in 1206, on the feast of Saint Mary Magdalene, to help combat the Albigensian heresy, which denied the goodness of the material world and the divinity of Christ.The saint and his Dominican Order, which he founded in 1215, actively promoted the Rosary, encouraging its use for both personal prayer and communal practice. He used it as a tool for evangelization and spiritual growth.Since the 15th and 16th centuries, many Dominicans have spread this devotion and remain to this day the chief promoters of the devotion around the world.For example, it was a Dominican pope, St. Pius V, who promoted the Rosary and instituted the Feast of Our Lady of Victory in 1571 (later renamed the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary in 1573 by Pope Gregory XIII).The Rosary remains a staple of Roman Catholic piety and is a favorite of many Catholics around the world.Alongside the Franciscans, the Dominicans became the most powerful Order in medieval times, giving the Church illustrious preachers, St. Vincent Ferrer, and contemplatives, Sts. Thomas of Aquinas and Pius V, and contributing immeasurably to maintaining the purity of the faith.Through the example of apostolic poverty and the preaching of the word of God, the Dominican Order was to lead men to Christ.Today, it's also important to remember that St. Dominic's mother, Blessed Jane (Joan or Joanna) of Aza, was beatified by Pope Leo XII in 1828, recognized for her example of motherly holiness, her charity to the poor, and miracles.As preserved in the Breviary: "During pregnancy, Dominic's mother dreamed she was carrying in her womb a little dog that held a burning torch between its teeth; and when she had given birth, it set the whole world on fire. By this dream, it was made manifest beforehand how Dominic would inflame the nations to the practice of Christian virtue through the brightness of his holy example and the fiery ardor of his preaching." The second son of Blessed Jane (Joan or Joanna) of Aza, Mannes, would follow his younger brother in the Order of Preachers, and later beatified.Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!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!
