In this episode, Sr. Alicia Torres, Tanner Kalina, and Archbishop Joseph F. Naumann (Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas) look at Eucharistic mission practically. What does evangelization really look like in our lives? How do we actually go about it?We have to anchor any sort of evangelization in genuine friendship and trust -- just as Jesus did with his apostles.

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast (04/17/25), Hank resumes his overview of Holy Week with Holy Thursday, the epicenter of the divine narrative. A narrative that begins with the Tree of Life in the Garden of Eden. If Adam and Eve had rejected the serpent, they would have eaten from the Tree of Life, and the Tree of Knowledge would not have been withheld from them. Instead, they were exiled from the Edenic garden and from traversing the slope leading upward toward the peak of deification. Thankfully, the narrative does not end there. For in the panoply of history, a Second Adam clothed himself in fallen humanity. It was above all in his death on the cross and resurrection from the dead that Christ returned humanity to the life of Eden. This then, is the great arc of the biblical narrative. From the tree of life in the Edenic garden to the tree of life in the eternal garden. An arch that finds its apex with the Eucharistic bounty spilling forth from the trodden grapes of Golgotha's hill. The Last Supper that we commemorate on Holy Thursday constitutes the central mystery of the Church. It is the source and zenith of Church life. By it, we are changed from human multiplicity to one body in Christ, the temple of the Holy Spirit. Within the Eucharistic assembly, divine life flows into us and penetrates the fabric of our humanity. The future life is infused into the present one and is blended with it, so that our fallen humanity may be transformed into the glorified humanity of the new Adam, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Preaching for Holy Thursday, Kathleen Dorsey Bellow offers a reflection on being drawn into the Paschal Mystery through the Triduum: "During the sacred passage through the Triduum, we will encounter God through powerful word, symbol and ritual in the retelling of humanity's redemption. During the three-day celebration, may we come to know that full, conscious and active participation with Christ in the Eucharistic liturgy is a share in his resurrection for our salvation and the deliverance of the world."Kathleen Dorsey Bellow is the director of the Institute for Black Catholic Studies of Xavier University, where she also holds the Drexel Society Endowed Professorship in Black Catholic Studies. A pastoral theologian she writes, consults and presents on several aspects of Catholic ministry, including worship, evangelization, and faith formation.

This weekend is, of course, the Easter Bank Holiday weekend. A host of events across the Catholic Church and Church of Ireland will be taking place over the coming days. For example, Holy Thursday will have the Mass of the Lord's Supper, which is a commemoration of the first Eucharist. It finishes with a special Eucharistic procession to the altar of repose. To find out more, Alan Morrissey was joined by Bishop of Killaloe, Fintan Monahan, and Church of Ireland Bishop of Tuam, Limerick, and Killaloe, Michael Burrows.

La Porta | Renungan Harian Katolik - Daily Meditation according to Catholic Church liturgy
Delivered by Bella from the Parish of Kristus Raja in the Diocese of Surabaya, Indonesia. Exodus 12: 1-8.11-14; Rs psalm 116: 12-13.15-16bc.17-18; 1 Corinthians 11: 23-26; John 13: 1-15MEANINGFUL HOLY THURSDAY Our meditation today is entitled: Meaningful HolyThursday. The Thursday in the Holy Week is called also “White Thursday” becauseobviously white is the color of the liturgical tools and clothing in today'scelebration. This color symbolizes joy and celebration. Today's celebrationcenters on Jesus Christ with its emphasis on Jesus' actions that manifestglory, joy, power and feast. In this celebration there is a ceremony where Jesuswashes the feet of His apostles. This act of Jesus teaches us to serve oneanother with humility. This is a great joy. The atmosphere of joy and glory oflove among us can be revealed through mutual services. So Jesus says that weshould love one another as He Himself has loved us. He teaches us that Hisgreatest commandment is to love our neighbors. The Lord exists in our neigboursand fellow brothers and sisters. The celebration of the evening reminds us of theEucharist, the great sacrifice of the holy Mass ordained by Jesus Christ. Wordsand deeds of love are indeed the manifestation of joy and the presence of theglory of God. The celebration of the Eucharist is definitely the joy of theincarnation of God's word to become His own body that we share together as one holyChurch. Along with the Eucharist, Jesus instituted the Sacrament of thePriesthood. This is an important joy for the entire Church because this Priesthoodis to minister the Eucharistic celebration in the Church. The priesthood is toexercise the power of the Lord to lead the Church and bring her members to thelight and truth of the Lord Himself. In this celebration we also remember the criticalmoments of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane, where the sweat of His blood are flowingand dripping to bring Him to the glory of the cross that is already soon to becelebrated. The atmosphere of Gethsemane describes the trials and difficultiesthat make this life uncomfortable and insecure. But like God Himself, we mustpass through it with confidence. Between Gethsemane and Golgotha are the crucialmoments called the threshold of sufferings. Usually temptation always comeswith the intention of leading us away from bitter reality, as shown in Jesus'own expression: Father, let this cup be taken away from me. But we must followour Master Jesus Christ to overcome that temptation, and to be willing to drinkthe cup of suffering. This is truly our joy. On this morning in general, the Diocesan Bishoptogether with his priests celebrate the Chrism Mass. In this feast, the Bishopblesses the holy oils, namely oil for chrism, oil for catechuments, and oil foranointing the sick. These three kinds of oil are the tools in the priesthood orderto minister the sacraments to God's people. Let us pray. In the name of the Father... Lord Jesus Christ,strengthen our faith to remain faithful to the Eucharist as the means of oursalvation. Our Father who art in heaven... In the name of the Father ...
A listener named Alex asks Father Dave about the Eucharistic Prayer. Alex says, “In the Mass, Eucharistic Prayer I has a lengthy list of saints. How is this list determined, and can the presider add or subtract names to the list?”

What sets the Catholic Church apart from other faiths? We explore the historical, theological, and spiritual reasons to choose Catholicism, along with questions about evolution and the conditions for a valid Eucharistic consecration. Join The CA Live Club Newsletter: Click Here Questions Covered: 17:00 – I'm a convert. If a priest walked into a bakery and said the words of consecration, would the bread become Jesus? 21:54 – Why Catholicism over any other religion? 46:01 – How do Catholics approach evolution?
The intensive sensory experience of today's Gospel might obscure the context of a meal. This is especially poignant in a gospel that has no institution narrative, but offers a rich Eucharistic interpretation through themes of memory, community, and ethics. Mary's act of anointing Jesus symbolizes memory, recalling Jesus' command to remember Him. The community aspect is highlighted by Mary's role as a full disciple, reversing social hierarchies. The ethical message challenges Judas' insincere concern for the poor, urging the community to embody Christ's love in service to the world. Isaiah 43:16-21 Philippians 3:4b-14 John 12:1-8 Psalm 126 Lent 5C

"We'll never age, we'll never die, and all our dreams come true the instant that we have them." "Yeah, it's just not enough, is it?" This profound insight launches us into a wide-ranging exploration of human nature and modern Catholic challenges.We dive deep into the controversial case of Blessed Carlo Acutis and the troubling evolution of the Church's canonization process. Since Pope John Paul II removed the adversarial "devil's advocate" role, canonizations have exploded in number, with one priest lamenting, "We're becoming a factory here." Friends of Carlo share surprising revelations that cast doubt on the narrative around his extraordinary sanctity, raising uncomfortable questions about manufactured devotion versus authentic veneration.The conversation shifts to examining how Jesus is portrayed across different media, comparing scenes from The Chosen, Jesus of Nazareth, and The Gospel of John. Each presents a radically different Christ figure—from a hesitant, uncertain teacher to a bold, confrontational messiah challenging the religious establishment. These portrayals matter profoundly, as they shape how believers conceptualize Christ himself.We also examine a viral social media clip of a woman contemplating divorce despite having a "perfect on paper" husband, revealing deeper truths about modern marriage expectations, the challenges of working mothers, and what it means to feel "seen" in relationships.Throughout, we weave scriptural insights, particularly from the Gospel of John, revealing how its rich symbolism of "the hour," bread, and wine points toward the Eucharistic kingdom Jesus established. Join us for this thought-provoking conversation that challenges comfortable assumptions and invites deeper reflection on faith, relationships, and the media that shapes our spiritual imagination.Support the showSponsored by Recusant Cellars, an unapologetically Catholic and pro-life winery from Washington state.

Want to reach out to us? Want to leave a comment or review? Want to give us a suggestion or berate Anthony? Send us a text by clicking this link!The mystery of the Eucharist stands at the heart of Catholic faith and worship—yet how deeply do we truly understand it? Diving into the rich theology of Christ as the Bread of Life, we explore the profound reality that in receiving Holy Communion, we encounter Jesus Himself—body, blood, soul, and divinity.Starting with the Gospel account of the multiplication of loaves and fishes, we uncover how this miracle foreshadowed the even greater miracle of the Eucharist. When Jesus declared, "I am the living bread that has come down from heaven," He wasn't speaking metaphorically but revealing a truth that would become central to Christian worship for millennia. Through careful examination of both Scripture and Catechism teachings, we explore the three-fold reality of the Eucharist: making present the sacrifice of the Cross, imparting grace to nourish our souls, and pledging future glory.Throughout history, Eucharistic belief has faced challenges—from medieval disputes to Protestant Reformation denials of the Real Presence. Yet God consistently raised up defenders like Thomas Aquinas and inspired Eucharistic miracles to reaffirm this central truth. We consider practical ways to deepen our Eucharistic devotion during Lent, including spending time in thanksgiving after Mass and revisiting catechetical teachings. As St. John Vianney reminds us, "If we realize the value of Holy Communion, the three divine persons dwell in our soul. It is a miniature heaven." Join us in rediscovering the transformative power of recognizing Christ truly present in the Blessed Sacrament.Support the showSponsored by Recusant Cellars, an unapologetically Catholic and pro-life winery from Washington state.

Send us a textHow did the practice of Eucharistic Adoration begin? This question launches us into a fascinating journey through Church history, tracing the development of this profound devotional practice from its earliest roots to modern expressions.The story begins in the early Church, where consecrated hosts were first "reposed" for the sick around the third century. While formal adoration as we know it wouldn't emerge until much later, these early practices revealed a growing understanding that Christ's presence remained in the Eucharist even after Mass concluded. The pivotal moment came in 1226 when King Louis VII of France requested the Blessed Sacrament be exposed in celebration of military victory—marking what many consider the first formal instance of Eucharistic Adoration.The practice truly flourished with the establishment of the Feast of Corpus Christi and through St. Thomas Aquinas' beautiful Eucharistic hymns and prayers. Throughout our conversation, we explore how adoration complements rather than competes with Mass attendance, creating a spiritual rhythm that nurtures our relationship with Christ. For those unfamiliar with adoration, we offer practical guidance on how to pray in silence, suggesting different forms of prayer—adoration, thanksgiving, contrition, and supplication—that can deepen this encounter.Perhaps most moving are the stories of transformation, where young people discover Christ's real presence not in theological concepts but in the profound silence of adoration. In our distracted, noise-filled world, these moments of intentional disconnection provide spiritual nourishment many desperately need. Whether you're a lifelong adorer or curious newcomer, this episode provides historical context, practical guidance, and spiritual encouragement for encountering Christ in the Blessed Sacrament.What might the Lord say to you in those moments of sacred silence? There's only one way to find out.
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.

"Medjugorje, to me, is the holiest place on earth. I've been to Lourdes, which was beautiful, but I cannot wait to go back with you, Trapper and Elizabeth, to Medjugorje." ---------- If you're searching for a place to begin again in your spiritual life—a place of renewal, restoration, and undeniable fruit—look to Medjugorje. Elizabeth and I will be leading a pilgrimage to Medjugorje, October 6th through the 13th. Here is a link to get the details: https://www.cognitoforms.com/CorporateTravelService2/CorporateTravel60thAnniversaryPilgrimageToMedjugorje The Church has acknowledged the profound impact of this place: families reconciled, countless conversions through confession, miraculous healings, and hundreds, if not thousands, of men answering the call to the priesthood. Millions of pilgrims have left transformed, drawn closer to Christ through Eucharistic adoration. At a time when Christianity is shrinking, especially among the young who leave faith behind for nothing, Medjugorje stands as a model for the Church. It is a reminder of what works, what revives faith, and what calls hearts back to God. Our Lady, the Queen of Peace, has given us five stones: daily Scripture reading, praying the Rosary, monthly confession, fasting, and receiving the Eucharist at Mass. These are the weapons against the enemy, the tools for our renewal. If only we had a role model in the world to follow—and yet, here it is. Do we see it? Do we embrace it? Begin again. Medjugorje is the place to begin again.

In this episode of On Mission, Sarah Harrigan Scalfaro, Chris Pierno, and Fr. Frank Donio, S.A.C. are joined by Deacon Mark Krejci of the Diocese of Crookston to discuss the third year of the Eucharistic Revival, Year of Mission. This is an exciting new season of the Revival movement. The Holy Spirit has enkindled a missionary fire in the heart of our nation, and now he is sending out every member of the Church to spread the Good News—sharing the gift of our Eucharistic Lord with those on the margins. And YOU are invited to be a part of it! Download the Year of Mission Playbook here. We are all called to evangelize, and thanks to the gift of the Holy Spirit, we are well-equipped for this mission. It may not mean spreading the Gospel in a foreign land or going door-to-door with the Good News—and it may require overcoming some fears—but the Lord is asking each of us to step out of our comfort zone and evangelize one-on-one. There is someone in your life right now whom Jesus longs to call to himself. He wants to spark a relationship with them and bless them with his sacraments. In this Year of Mission, Catholics across the U.S. are saying “yes” to a special form of heart-to-heart accompaniment called the Walk With One initiative. This is your opportunity to be God's instrument in the life of another person. Imagine how our families, neighborhoods, and country will be transformed if every active Catholic answers this call!

If the writings of the Church Fathers aren't part of the Bible, why do they matter? We explore their authority and role in understanding the faith, plus tackle questions about God’s omniscience, Eucharistic miracles, and why Mary doesn’t appear more often in Scripture. Join The CA Live Club Newsletter: Click Here Questions Covered: 04:15 – I constantly hear that God knows everything that’s going to happen, but in the Old Testament He changed His mind. It sounds like a contradiction. 10:02 – How seriously should I take the ancient church fathers given that they are not sacred scripture? 13:50 – How do I get atheists/agnostics to recognize the bible as a legitimate source? 16:00 – On the assumption that God is all-powerful, merciful, etc. Then why would he make us if he knew we were going to go through all this suffering and anguish? 22:52 – Is heaven empty until Jesus returns? If not, then how can Catholics believe that we all go to sleep and enter heaven until the second coming? 30:59 – In the Our Father, what is the true meaning of” thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven?” 35:14 – How is it possible for Satan to stand in the presence of God in Job if evil can’t withstand the presence of God? 41:00 – Why doesn't Mary appear more in the Bible for all the reverence we give her? 46:01 – Debating with a Christian who claims Eucharistic miracles are demonic; how do I respond to them? 51:46 – Why should I care if there is a God?

Is the Didache good proof of the Early Church being Catholic? Should the Annunciation be considered the "real" Christmas? Is it necessary to believe that St. Joseph was chaste his entire life? Why would God have to be mindful of his Passion like mentioned in the Divine Mercy prayers? During the Eucharistic prayer the priest sometimes says "we may merit to be co-heirs to Eternal life". How can we by ourselves merit heaven? What does it mean to be in communion with the pope? Can I go to my sister's non-Catholic parish to avoid creating strife?

No thanks!), and medical advances that while AMAZING (using a person's own stem cells to reverse Type 1 Diabetes, yes, please!) also lead us closer and closer to the unthinkable, the stuff we thought of as only crazy Sci-Fi back when we were kids is becoming a reality. Kolenc explores the idea by looking at it through the lens of trying to clone Jesus. I mean, if it's wrong to try to clone God incarnate, is it right to clone His creation? OR... are those two very different things? And if one is okay and the other isn't, how long would it be before the "okay" slipped down a slope into the heretical? Don't miss the final book (for now) in the Harwood Mysteries, The Devil's Ransom. Incarnate by Antony Barone Kolenc October, 2007. Joshua Christiansen thinks he's just an ordinary teen, ready to graduate high school and infatuated with his best friend Rachel...until Agent Samson shows up and tells him who he really is. Now, while dodging ruthless zealots and evading government plots, he must test the limits of his mind and body as he seeks the truth about himself. Was he truly cloned from the blood of a Eucharistic miracle? Does he really have the power to trigger the End of Days? Or will he be killed, captured, or brainwashed by one of the many people who want to use him for their own ends before he can learn the truth?

I have the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Greg Bottaro, a Catholic psychologist and founder of the Catholic Psych Institute. We delve into the complexities of identity, particularly in the context of gender dysphoria, and explore the importance of compassion in addressing these sensitive issues. Dr. Bottaro emphasizes the need for a blueprint for understanding the human person, which he believes is rooted in Catholic teachings. For a deep dive into this blueprint check out our other conversation in episode 152.We discuss how the Catholic vision of the human person can inform our approach to mental health and well-being. Dr. Bottaro shares insights on the unity of body and spirit, and how this understanding can help individuals who feel at odds with their identity. We also touch on the historical role of the Catholic Church in preserving knowledge and culture, and how this legacy can guide contemporary discussions about ethics and psychology.Throughout our conversation, we aim to explore critical questions: How can we approach those struggling with their identity with both compassion and truth? What does it mean to have a healthy understanding of personhood? And how can the principles of Catholicism provide a framework for healing and thriving in today's complex world? Join us as we navigate these profound topics and seek to understand the intersection of faith, reason, and mental health.Dr. Greg Bottaro is a Catholic psychologist, founder of the CatholicPsych Institute and creator of the CatholicPsych Model of Applied Personalism (CPMAP). He received his Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from the Institute for the Psychological Sciences, and works to integrate Catholic philosophy and theology with relevant psychology. He leads the CatholicPsych Institute's mission to, "Create a Catholic Standard for Mental Health."Before becoming a psychologist, Dr. Bottaro discerned a religious vocation with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal (CFRs). He lived in the Bronx for four years following the footsteps of St. Francis of Assisi. Under the mentorship of Fr. Benedict Groeschel, this experience formed him in the spirituality of Abandonment to Divine Providence, which he now integrates with his model of psychology, along with the discernment of God's will he learned from Fr. Benedict.In 2012, Dr. Bottaro returned to New York as a psychologist and founded the CatholicPsych Institute, which has continued to grow and serve clients around the world. Most recently he launched the CPMAP Certification to train others in their model of integrated accompaniment.He lives in Connecticut with his wife Barbra and their seven children. 00:00 Start[00:00:10] Compassion in identity struggles.[00:05:37] Civilization saved by Catholic Church.[00:10:03] Resurrection and its implications.[00:12:33] Eucharistic miracles and their significance.[00:19:40] Catholicism and Human Understanding.[00:22:12] Faith versus science paradox.[00:26:22] The ideal human person.[00:30:29] Fatherlessness and its impact.[00:34:02] Compassion in conservative approaches.[00:37:03] Spiritual identity and personhood.[00:40:18] Identity and body connection.[00:45:00] Complexities of therapeutic relationships.[00:49:39] Eternal communion with divinity.ROGD REPAIR Course + Community gives concerned parents instant access to over 120 lessons providing the psychological insights and communication tools you need to get through to your kid.

What if you could recalibrate your life to hear God's voice above the noise and chaos of this world? From the 2nd Sunday of Lent, Fr. Dom dives deep into the heart of Lent, a season that's not just about giving up chocolate or coffee, but about repositioning yourself to know, love, and serve God in a way that changes everything.We start with a piece of Scripture that echoes through Lent: “If today you hear the Lord's voice, harden not your hearts.” It's a call to action, brothers, and I'm breaking it down for you—why it matters, where to find His voice, and what happens when we tune out. From Abram's 4,000-mile journey of faith 4,000 years ago to the transfiguration of Jesus on Mount Tabor, I connect the dots to show how these ancient stories aren't just history—they're blueprints for us today. You'll hear about Abram's covenant with God, a wild ritual with split animals that proves God's promises are unbreakable, and how Jesus' disfigured body on the cross leads to our glorified future.But here's where it gets real: Lent isn't just a 40-day slog through the desert. It's a chance to meet Jesus where you're at—messy, broken, or doubting—and let Him work miracles in your life. I'll walk you through the power of the Eucharist, where science meets faith (yes, every Eucharistic miracle studied points to the flesh of Jesus' wounded heart), and why submitting to God—tough as it is—unlocks a strength you didn't know you had.Your Challenge: This week, carve out 15 minutes a day to sit in silence and listen for God's voice. No phone, no distractions—just you and Him. Journal what you hear, even if it's just a whisper. Then, hit Mass and receive the Eucharist with intention, asking God to transform your heart as you consume His. It's not easy, but it's worth it. Listen now to discover how to make this Lent your turning point—because when you give your heart to the Lord, He doesn't just take it; He transfigures it. Push play and let's journey into the desert together.3 Powerful Quotes“If you want to give your heart over to the Lord, you eat his heart. Every Eucharistic miracle, when it's given to scientists, just a piece of that Eucharistic miracle that has changed into the body and blood of God, when it's dissected and studied, it's always the flesh of Jesus' heart.” “God makes his covenants with us and he holds himself accountable. That's how much he loves us and wants to redeem us.” “He climbs Mount Calvary and on Mount Calvary his body is not transfigured but his body is greatly disfigured. Scourged, beaten, bruised, bloodied, whipped. You can't even know who he is. And he did that for you.”Submit to God's voice daily, even when it's hard. Start by listening in silence for 15 minutes—tune out the world and trust He'll meet you there. It's not about control; it's about surrender that builds unshakable faith.Send us a text Support the showPlease prayerfully consider supporting the podcast on our Buy Me A Coffee page. to help grow the show to reach as many men as possible!

Patrick engages with a variety of fascinating topics, starting with his responses to listener emails, where he discusses the implications of Christian nationalism and the allure of communism, particularly among young students. Patrick addresses the false promises of communism and shines a light on the pervasive influence of media messaging, with a focus on historical context and current social media trends. The episode also features discussions on ideologies, media manipulation, and dynamics within the Church. Mary (Email) - Do you think The Communist Manifesto is appropriate for a 13-year-old to read? (00:40) Audio: KGB defector Yuri Bezmenov's warning to America (1984) (11:16) Audio: This is Dangerous to our Democracy (17:29) Audio: Brought to you by Pfizer (24:01) Greg - What is a good book about Confession? I bring Communion to nursing homes and one of the residents is a fallen away Catholic. (27:42) Carmen - I worked for mainstream media and left it about 4 months ago. It is funny because everything is scripted by the producer. We HAVE to follow the script. (36:32) Margaret – I disagree with you. I think the priest should have given her communion. Why does Biden get communion if women in nursing homes don’t get to receive Jesus? (42:59) Kim - If you have been annulled in the Catholic Church 4 times, can you be a Eucharistic minister? (49:02)
Richard G. DeClue, Jr., S.Th.D. is the Professor of Theology at the Word on Fire Institute. In addition to his undergraduate degree in theology (Belmont Abbey College), he earned three ecclesiastical degrees in theology at the Catholic University of America. He specializes in systematic theology with a particular interest and expertise in the thought of Joseph Ratzinger / Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI. His STL thesis treated Ratzinger's Eucharistic ecclesiology in comparison to the Eastern Orthodox theologian John Zizioulas. His doctoral dissertation expounded and evaluated Ratzinger's theology of divine revelation. Dr. DeClue has published articles in peer-reviewed journals on Ratzinger's theology, and he taught a college course on the thought of Pope Benedict XVI. He is also interested in the ecclesiology of Henri de Lubac, the debate over nature and grace, and developing a rapprochement between Communio (ressourcement) theology and Thomism.

Tim Francis, who grew up Catholic but drifted away, shares his journey of faith with John-Henry Westen, telling the story of how he found himself in a mega-church environment but later rediscovered Catholicism through apologetics debates and, most notably, a miraculous video his mother sent him which documented supernatural evidence: a woman experiencing stigmata and receiving divine messages. This evidence led him back to Catholicism, inspiring him to attend daily Mass, pray the Rosary, and fully embrace his faith.Tim now travels across the country speaking about faith, Eucharistic miracles, and the importance of the Mass, emphasizing that many Catholics lack awareness of the supernatural reality of their faith. His work is aimed at deepening faith through both intellectual and supernatural proofs, encouraging devotion to the sacraments, and helping fallen-away Catholics return to the Church.U.S. residents!

Jimmy Akin tackles fascinating Catholic questions, from Sunday obligation at Eastern liturgies to Eucharistic reverence, and the best Bible translation.…
"To be eucharistic souls" was a great ideal proposed by St. Josemaria. Having our lives and hearts shaped by what we celebrate in the eucharist has various manifestations in our spiritual life. Adoration, receptiveness to God's love, imitating Christ's charity, joy, and thanksgiving are among the characteristics of truly eucharistic souls. https://comeawaybyyourselves.com
Is the Marxism infiltrating the Church? Our daily lives? Bobby Angel, a Catholic author, speaker, and co-host of The Jackie and Bobby Show, warn about the possible infiltration into modern ideologies, particularly in gender theory and radical feminism, and highlights the importance of faith, sacred art, and traditional values in countering these influences. He shares his journey of faith, from being a cradle Catholic who drifted in his teenage years to experiencing a powerful reawakening through Eucharistic adoration and a Steubenville youth conference.Bobby discusses his background in philosophy and theology, highlighting how his time in seminary and teaching at an all-boys Catholic high school shaped his understanding of the faith. His new book, The Postmodern Predicament, explores the cultural decline caused by postmodernism and Marxist influences, offering a Catholic perspective on reclaiming truth and order in society. The conversation covers topics like the dangers of moral relativism, the loss of classical education, and the impact of pornography and utilitarianism on human dignity. Bobby emphasizes that philosophy is crucial in shaping one's worldview, influencing how society perceives truth, beauty, and human worth.U.S. residents!
