Podcasts about feast days

In this enlightening episode of Sermon Brainwave, hosts Karoline Lewis, Matt Skinner, and Rolf Jacobson delve into the theological significance of the Ascension of Our Lord, which falls on May 29, 2025. The conversation explores why this often-overlooked feast day is crucial for understanding Jesus' ongoing authority and presence in the world today. The hosts discuss how the Ascension serves as the pivotal bridge between Luke and Acts, connecting Jesus' earthly ministry to the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, and its importance for Trinitarian theology. Drawing from the lectionary texts (Acts 1:1-11, Psalm 47, Ephesians 1:15-23, and Luke 24:44-53), the hosts unpack how the Ascension of Our Lord is not merely about Jesus' location but about his authority and power. They explore the connection between Christ's ascension and the church's mission, explaining that Jesus' enthronement isn't about distant rule but about his continued embodied presence and activity through the Spirit. This episode offers valuable insights for preachers and teachers seeking to communicate the relevance and importance of the Ascension in contemporary Christian faith. *  *  * Don't forget to like, subscribe, and share to stay connected with more insightful lectionary discussions!

Liturgical Calendar 101 is in session. In this episode, we break down the seasons of the Episcopal church.

Appointed by the Romans as king of Judaea, King Herod's reign was defined by great architectural projects, canny diplomacy, and tyrannical behavior. Herod even appears as an unlikely and unlikeable character in the Christmas tale; the king who ordered the execution of children in an effort to kill Jesus. But did this really happen?

Welcome, Catholic Pilgrims. We've got a bit of a longer reading today, so I don't want to take too much of your time here on the front end.  Today in the readings, it's the feast day of St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, who is widely known for her devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. This would be why Mother Cabrini most definitely mentions her, because Mother's order is the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart.  So, today, we are going to hear about St. Margaret Mary, we are going to get some spiritual guidance, and we are also going to hear just about what is going on, on board the ship.  Without further ado, let's turn to page 66.

Welcome, Catholic Pilgrims. It's October 15th, 1891 and it's the Feast Day of Season Three's saint—St. Teresa of Avila.  As I've been doing these five seasons now, it's been so wonderful to see Saints talk about Saints. Mother Cabrini valued what insights and witness St. Teresa brought to the world and I think that shows her great humility.  The steamer that Mother Cabrini and her Sisters are on is getting closer and closer to the equator which means it's hot and if you are a religious sister, its not like you can just go put on some shorts and a tank top. This is just another example of the way these holy women suffered for the sake of souls.  Let's open to page 63 and begin.

Welcome to a Brain Wrinkling Wednesday with Fr. Tom Koys.  Today Father Koys enlightens us regarding St. Joseph.  He shares his history and his works.  He then wrinkles our brain with a discussion regarding the things that occur behind the scenes that impact the forefront, yet we are unaware of them. He correlates how St. Joseph was a behind the scenes person during his time but yet had much impact in his role.  Father Koys continues looking behind the scenes as he discusses events from the gospel. St. Stanislaus Kostka Parish

“BRETHREN, my heart's desire and prayer to Elohiym for Yashar'el is, that they might be saved. For I bear them record that they have a zeal of Elohiym, but not according to knowledge. For they being ignorant of Elohiym's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of Elohiym. For Mashiach is the goal of the Torah for righteousness to everyone that believes. For Mosheh describes the righteousness which is of the Torah, That the man which does those things shall live in them. But the righteousness which is of faith speaks on this wise, Say not in your heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Mashiach down from above:) Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Mashiach again from the dead.) But what says it? The word is nigh you, even in your mouth, and in your heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; That if you shall confess with your mouth Adonai Yahusha, and shall believe in your heart that Elohiym has raised him from the dead, you shall be saved. For with the heart man believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto yeshu`ah. For the Scripture says, Whosoever believes on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Yahudiy and the Yavaniy: for the same Yahuah over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of Yahuah shall be saved. How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the Besorah of peace, and bring good news of good things! But they have not all obeyed the Besorah. For Yesha`yahu says, Yahuah, who has believed our report? So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of Elohiym. But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world. But I say, Did not Yashar'el know? First Mosheh says, I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are no people, and by a foolish nation I will anger you. But Yesha`yahu is very bold, and says, I was found of them that sought me not; I was made manifest unto them that asked not after me. But to Yashar'el he says, All day long I have stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people.” ROMANS 10 www.linktree.com/wilsonryan__

The Chair of St. Peter: A Seat of Authority and Faith The Church emphasizes the significance of the Chair of St. Peter, . . . . . . on this Feast Day, which symbolizes the authority and witness of the Apostle Peter and his successors. It explores the meaning of a chair as a place of rest, stability, and authority, linking it to the role of Peter as the foundation of the Church. The homily highlights Peter's confession of faith—“You are the Christ, the Son of the living God”—as the rock upon which Christ built his Church. The Gospel reading also draws attention to the role of faith as a gift from God, the authority of the Church in proclaiming Christ, and the symbolic power of the keys of the kingdom. The message concludes by connecting this authority to the Eucharist, where the priests, through apostolic succession, calls Christ to be present on the altar, affirming the Church's unbroken mission of showing forth Jesus Christ. Listen also to the end of the Homily which paints an image on how we should pray to the Lord immediately after communion. Hear more within this Meditation Media.

In this week's Sabbath Lounge discussion, we examine the complex relationship between modern Christianity and Torah observance, specifically focusing on Exodus 23:10-33. Jeff Schwarzentraub's message on the keys to spiritual growth. Rest and worship are explored in depth, but we also address the ongoing debate about what it truly means to observe the Torah in the context of today's church. While we admire Jeff's passion for the Scriptures, we also respectfully disagree with his view on how the Sabbath, and how the Feast Days should be observed. The conversation around Israel and the Torah is more than just historical it's deeply relevant to our spiritual walk today. Join us as we unpack these vital topics, challenge conventional views, and explore how the principles of rest, worship, and trust can help deepen our relationship with Yeshua. A quote from Jeff Schwarzentraub "That's the universe. "And he rested on the seventh day." Why did God rest? He wasn't tired, He wasn't stressed, He wasn't exhausted, He wasn't worn out. He was providing an example to all of us for how to live our lives. And to this day, if you go to Israel, from Friday night at sundown until Saturday night at sundown, it's called the Sabbath or Shabbat and nobody works. If you're staying in a hotel, in all likelihood, the elevator won't work. It'll open at every single floor and close at every single floor. And as an American it will drive you absolutely crazy, right? Because they don't want you to have to push the button because pushing the button is considered work. So on the Sabbath, the elevator goes automatically. And this was God's design for Israel. Now why would God say that they need to rest in Him? Because when you rest, you get replenished. Let me just ask by show of hands, just this week, even if it was for five minutes or less, how many of you experienced just a little bit of anxiety or stress of any kind this week? Okay. That's why God gave us the Sabbath. That's why God gave us the Sabbath. Now for Israel, God had them set aside from Friday night till Saturday night. There are some people today that say, "It doesn't even count as a Sabbath unless you do that." But we know as believers in Christ that that is not the case, because God in the book of Romans, through the apostle Paul, who was inspired by the Spirit tells us this. In Romans chapter 14 in verse five, he's talking about food and he's talking about dates. And when he talks about dates he says this, Romans 14:5, "One person regards one day above another, another regards every day alike. Each person must be fully convinced in his own mind." What we know to be true is that after Jesus rose from the dead and He rose on a Sunday, the early church began to meet on Sunday. So they didn't keep the Sabbath the way that the Jews met the sabbath. Why? Because Jesus Christ was the fulfillment or the end of the law. So here's what he tells us about Sabbath. He tells us that we're in the Sabbath rest when we're in Christ. So God doesn't specifically tell us that there's one specific day that we must set aside, but the principle of it remains. The principle of it remains. The fact that so many of you raised your hands and talked about stress or anxiety. And the ones who didn't, it was because you were too stressed and anxious to raise your hand, shows that we need time set aside in our life to refresh in the Lord."

Ordinary Time might not get as much attention as Advent or Lent, but what if it's actually the hidden gem of the liturgical year? In this episode, we're diving into why this liturgical season matters, how to celebrate Valentine's Day with intention, and simple ways to live well now as we prepare for Lent.

Hello, Catholic Pilgrims. Welcome to the Feast Day of the Patronage of St. Joseph in 1890. Mother Cabrini really laments not having a priest on board. If you are a priest listening, just know how much we need you.  The rest of Mother's letter today could be written about our times today. She pulls no punches. We often think that our faith life and the way we talk about Jesus must be super sugary and nicey-nice, but, no. People need to hear that their actions and behaviors aren't gaining them anything other than a soul dead in sin.  Just as a FYI, Mother uses the word Belial and its a Hebrew word that means wicked or is used as a synonym for Satan. I just wanted you to have that context.  Let's hear Mother's admonishment of those who have “forgotten their Catholic Religion.” Please open your book to page 32. Download: Reading List

William Shakespeare never mentions the celebration of Candlemas by name in his works, but we know Shakespeare was involved in the celebration of Candlemas in 1602 from a diary entry written by a man named John Manningham, who wrote about attending a performance of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, on February 2 of that year, the traditional Feast Day of Candlemas.This 1602 performance took place at Middle Temple Hall, one of the ancient and prestigious training and education establishments for lawyers in the heart of London. Shakespeare also spent Candlemas in other years with his acting troupe at the royal court, producing plays for Elizabeth I and James I.What was Candlemas? How was it celebrated? Why was Shakespeare involved in staging plays for the Queen and King? What did they look like, and why were they performed on Candlemas? Who was there? And what do we know about how the plays were received?To answer these questions, and to introduce us to the holiday of Candlemas, and to Shakespeare as a court performer, welcome to our guest Brett Dolman, historian and curator at Hampton Court Palace, where Shakespeare himself once performed.

There is always an excuse for not exercising, a religious prohibition, some hereditary syndrome that makes you feel desperate when you breathe hard, an allergic reaction to your own perspiration, but these can be overcome with help. My excuse is that I hated high school phy-ed with a passion, the chin-ups, the rope climb, the running somersault, the running dive over the horse, the wrestling, the ridicule and the bullying, and I despised walking naked into a shower with other young men. I still do. After I graduated, I made it a point not to join other naked men to take showers. When invited, I have declined. If this is a favorite activity of yours, I do not judge. For some men, this may be the high point of the week. Don't say this is self-loathing on my part because it isn't: it's the other men I loathe, not myself. And it's not homophobia. I have many gay male friends and they do not undress when they come to my home. I am perfectly okay taking a shower by myself or with my wife on very rare occasions such as my 70th and 80th birthdays, the Feast Day of the Assumption in August and on October 27, the day on which Jack Morris pitched the Minnesota Twins to a 1-0 victory in the 7th game of the 1991 World Series.

It's just Bishop Caggiano and me this week on Let Me Be Frank, and we're talking about… well, stuff. There are a few feast days on Bishop's mind this month: the Presentation of the Lord & Candlemas, Our Lady of Lourdes, and the Chair of St Peter. Our Lady of Lourdes relates to World Day of the Sick, and Bishop Caggiano points out that both days remind us that this life is not going to be easy. On the topic of suffering, may I humbly present to you this short video on suffering we (Veritas) released last year? I'll also mention that, on Feb 11th, the Order of Malta is hosting a Mass and blessing at St Aloysius for Our Lady of Fatima & World Day of the Sick. We wrap up this week's discussion with thoughts on Catholic schools and how to make them even more effective for students & families. And then Bishop Caggiano's tip for evangelization.

Friends of the Rosary, Today, January 28, is the Feast Day of St. Thomas Aquinas, an Italian Dominican priest from the thirteenth century and Doctor of the Church, known for this insightful Summa Theologiae, a masterful presentation of the sacred doctrine. He also wrote liturgical texts like the Pange Lingua Gloriosi, Tantum Ergo, and Salutaris Hostia.At the end of his life, a sacristan in Naples witnessed an exchange between Christ and Thomas praying before a crucifix: "You have written well of me, Thomas; what is your reward to be?" Thomas replied, "Nothing but yourself, Lord."

Homily given on the Solemnity of St. Thomas à Becket at STB (December 29, 2024).

On December 21st, the Church celebrates the feast day of St. Thomas, the Apostle. Known widely as "Doubting Thomas," we hear today how Christ loveed Thomas, filled with unbelief, and with the Word restored him to the faith, to the point where tradition holds that Thomas brought the Gospel from Jerusalem to India, where he was martyred.   Bulletin: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rYLjyu-HZCboRFRIFVG_dlgxEtl2Mr8P/view?usp=sharing  

A shadow of things to come, familiar words to many believers when speaking about the feast days and sabbaths. Paul's teachings on these things in Colossians 2:16-17 are among the more popular verses used to prove the Torah doesn't apply today.  But is this claim true? What is the context of Paul's letter here? What are the "things to come" that the festivals and sabbaths are shadows of? 

Tony from Albuquerque calls in with some great questions about the upcoming Jubilee Year 2025. Special Guest Host Fr. Matthew Spencer explains its roots in the Old Testament, its significance in Christianity, and the symbolic "Holy Doors" that will open around the world. The discussion also covers why local churches should spread the word about this special time of grace. If you're curious about the Jubilee Year and want to make the most of it, don’t miss this enlightening conversation on The Patrick Madrid Show. Paul - Mark 10:18 - Jesus talked about 'why do you call me 'good, only God is good'. What does Jesus mean by this? (01:11) Yollie - I have a friend who is Catholic and wants to baptize her daughter, but her partner does not want that. (05:30) Carolyn - What happened to the gift of the Magi? (10:56) Mary – Why was the Immaculate Conception Day a Day of Obligation, but not on for Our Lady Of Guadalupe? (13:37) Alo – Did Mary have pain during childbirth? (18:40) Guadalupe – Yesterday, I went to a wake. The gentleman who lead Rosary did different mysteries for each decade. Are you bound to pray Rosary decades on certain days by the Church? How do we know someone is in Heaven? (22:15) Tony – What is a “Jubilee Year”? What is the significance of the doors that Pope Francis is going to open on Christmas Eve? (32:50) Christine - Our Church has a permanent store of religious items. Yesterday they brought out tables for the Feast Day to sell them. I think that Jesus doesn't like this. Isn't Church supposed to be a house of prayer? (42:43)

The Immaculate Conception: Rooted in Faith, Fulfilled in Grace Today, we celebrate the profound mystery of the Immaculate Conception of our Blessed Lady. Although formally proclaimed as doctrine less than 200 years ago, its roots run deep in the ancient traditions of Christian faith and practice. This belief flows naturally from what we profess about Jesus Christ, for everything we affirm about the Virgin Mary is ultimately derived from our faith in Him. Nothing we proclaim about Mary stands apart from or beyond our belief in Christ—it is, instead, the fruit of that faith. From the very beginning, the Church has boldly proclaimed Jesus as the Savior, the one who secures God's victory over sin and death. Jesus, the Word made flesh, came to us through the Virgin Mary. He is not merely a man or the highest of created beings but truly God, co-equal and co-eternal with the Father. This central truth of Christ's divinity compels us to ask deeper questions: What does it mean for our salvation? What does it mean for Mary, who bore Him? Salvation is not simply the restoration of paradise lost. It is far greater; a sharing in God's very life, a gift only God Himself can bestow. No created being, however exalted, can grant this. Only God can bring us into this divine life, and in His infinite love, He chose to do so by taking flesh in Mary's womb. Consequently, we honor her not merely as the mother of Christ or of His humanity, but as the Mother of God—a title that reflects the singular mystery of her role in salvation history. This Mystery also Highlights Mary's Unique Sanctity This profound mystery also highlights Mary's unique sanctity. As the one chosen to bear God Himself, she was prepared in a manner befitting her unparalleled vocation. Just as a worthy temple is built for the glory of God, so too was Mary created to be a sinless vessel, entirely pure from the moment of her conception. Early Christians recognized her as the “new Eve,” free from sin and full of grace, reflecting the dignity required for one who would bear the Savior of the world. Mary's perpetual virginity and motherhood are another testimony to her unique role in salvation history. Unlike any other, she remains both Virgin and Mother, emphasizing her singular relationship with God. Through her, the divine Word became flesh, not by earthly origin but by the Holy Spirit's power. Her virginity underscores the divine nature of her Son, while her motherhood reveals her intimate participation in God's redemptive plan. As we contemplate the Immaculate Conception, we recognize its significance for our salvation. Mary's sinlessness was not for her own sake but for ours. She was prepared to bring Christ into the world, and through Him, we receive the fullness of divine grace. Just as a fine wine poured into a clean glass retains its purity, so too did Christ's presence within Mary require a vessel free from corruption. Her immaculate state reflects the extraordinary nature of God's plan and invites us to marvel at His boundless love. Hear why this is important to understand on this special Feast Day. Understand what the Immaculate Conception means for our salvation.

Saint Martin of Tours' Feast Day was November 11 — also known as Veteran's Day (US) and Remembrance Day (UK). Advent (Celtic) begins November 15 — this season of 40 days preceding Christmas is a time of preparation and reflection. So what to talk about on the podcast that is sandwiched between the two? Today, on […]

Why do we bake cakes for Shrove Tuesday or use chalk to mark our doors on the Epiphany? Why do we crown statues of Mary with flowers or sing hymns to the biggest candle of them all, the Paschal Candle, on Easter Vigil? Steffani Aquila, author of Festive Faith, walks us through the liturgical year and explains some of the most cherished, and oddest, liturgical living traditions and practices to help us embrace living a festive faith in our somewhat odd Church.
