POPULARITY
Tonight in Homily 6 Saint Isaac did not merely instruct us. He set fire before us. In the first six homilies he has laid the foundations of the spiritual life with uncompromising clarity. No romance. No shortcuts. No sentimentality. If you have no works, do not speak of virtues. If you have not sweat in the arena of repentance, do not theorize about purity. Virtue without bodily toil he calls premature fruit. Stillborn. And yet what he unfolds in these paragraphs is not severity alone. It is hope so luminous that it borders on holy intoxication. Affliction suffered for Christ, he says, is more precious than sacrifice. Tears are incense. Sighs during vigil are offerings more fragrant than any liturgical perfume. The righteous cry under the weight of their frailty, and heaven bends low. The angelic orders stand close at hand. They are not distant observers. They are partakers in the sufferings of the saints. What a vision. The struggler who feels alone in the cell, alone in illness, alone in interior battle, is surrounded. The angels strengthen. They encourage. They console. There is a communion not only with the saints of the earth but with the hosts of heaven who draw near to the one who cries out in humility. This is the first movement. Deep contrition. Tears. Vigil. Labor. The long work of purification. But Isaac does not leave us in mourning. He telescopes the whole journey. Rightly directed labors and humility make a man “a god upon the earth.” Faith and mercy speed him toward limpid purity. And then something changes. Fervor begins to burn. Contrition and fervor cannot dwell together indefinitely. Mourning gives way to fire. Wine has been given for gladness, he says, and fervor for the rejoicing of the soul. The word of God warms the understanding. The one inflamed by hope is ravished by meditations of the age to come. Isaac dares to speak of spiritual drunkenness. Not the stupor of the world, but intoxication with hope. The soul so seized by the promise of God that it becomes unconscious of affliction. Not because suffering disappears, but because the heart is fixed elsewhere. The gaze has shifted. The future age presses upon the present. The Beloved draws near. This is not fantasy. It comes, Isaac says, “in the very beginning of the way” for those who have labored long in purification and who walk with simplicity and faith. And here he gives us one of the most liberating images of the night. Those who hasten onward with hope do not examine the perils of the road. They do not stand calculating every gorge and precipice. They do not sit on the doorstep of their house, forever deliberating, forever preparing, forever fearing. They go. Only after crossing the sea do they look back and give thanks for dangers they never saw. God protected them from unseen obstacles. He led them over crags and through ravines while they were fixed on Him. Hope keeps the gaze steady. Rumination keeps the soul seated at the threshold. Isaac is not advocating recklessness. He is exposing the paralysis of excessive self-consciousness in the spiritual life. The one who constantly measures, analyzes, anticipates every fall, often never sets out. But the one who loves God, who girds his loins with simplicity, who meets the sea of afflictions without turning his back, finds the promised haven. This is the arc of the homily. From sweat to sweetness. From tears to intoxication. From contrition to fervor. From trembling to exultation. And all of it rests on hope. Hope that Christ Himself guards the path. Hope that angels stand near. Hope that affliction is not wasted. Hope that beyond the sea there is a haven already prepared. Isaac places before us not merely discipline, but joy. Not merely purification, but intimacy. Not merely endurance, but ravishment in the meditations of the age to come. The call tonight is clear. Do not speak of virtue. Live it. Do not fear affliction. Meet it. Do not sit on the threshold. Set out. Do not ruminate on precipices. Fix your gaze on Christ. And as we walk, we will discover that we are not walking alone. --- Text of chat during the group: 00:03:11 Fr. Charbel Abernethy: Page 177 bottom of the page 00:03:34 Fr.

Nuestro compañero Claudio Caballero entrevista en el Mirador al alcalde de Abanilla, José Antonio Blasco y es que el pasado domingo 1 de febrero, el municipio de Abanilla dio inicio oficial a su Año Jubilar 2026 con una solemne misa de inauguración que contó con la presencia del obispo, el presidente de la Región de Murcia y diversas autoridades institucionales. Este evento, que se extenderá hasta el 8 de diciembre, tiene como eje central la veneración de la Santísima Cruz, una reliquia con 500 años de historia que, según la tradición local, ha sido un refugio espiritual para los vecinos durante siglos.Más allá de su carácter litúrgico y religioso, el Ayuntamiento busca aprovechar esta festividad para potenciar el atractivo turístico de la zona, invitando a los visitantes a recorrer el camino del "Indum Cruci" desde el santuario de Mahoya, así como a descubrir parajes naturales emblemáticos como el río Chícamo y el desierto de Mahoya, conocidos como la "Palestina Murciana". El programa jubilar se complementará con conferencias sobre la historia de las fiestas de Moros y Cristianos, exposiciones fotográficas en la Casa de la Encomienda y una variada oferta gastronómica autóctona.

Haber encontrado a Dios y seguir buscándolo es una paradoja del amor, desdeñada por el religioso conformista pero justificada por la experiencia de quienes arden de amor. San Bernardo de Claraval expresó esta santa paradoja en un poema musical de cuatro versos que toda alma devota comprenderá al instante: Te gustamos, oh Pan de Vida, Y anhelamos seguir deleitándonos en Ti. Bebemos de Ti, Fuente de la Vida, Y nuestras almas sedientas de Ti se sacian. Acércate a los santos y santas del pasado y pronto sentirás el fervor de su anhelo por Dios. Deja que la búsqueda de Dios de A. W. Tozer te impulse también a sentir una auténtica hambre y sed de conocer verdaderamente a Dios. Acerca el autor Entre los más de 40 libros que ha escrito, al menos dos son considerados clásicos cristianos: La búsqueda de Dios y El conocimiento del Dios Santo. Sus libros transmiten al lector la posibilidad y la necesidad de una relación más profunda con Dios.

In episode 157, we explore Saint Teresa of Avila's classic manuscript on prayer, The Interior Castle, in the Sixth Mansions chapter 6. The doctor on prayer explains the trials she experienced from raptures. And she teaches us how to discern whether tears during prayer are from Jesus or from our emotions.

Ballooning became a huge fad starting in the late 18th century, and there was a surprising amount of rioting associated with it. Fervor, excitement, and intoxication in some instances, meant that balloon events were prone to get out of control.

Today on the Daily Nugget Podcast, Mike talks about Romans 12:9–13, focusing especially on the verses “Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord,” and “Honor one another above yourselves.” He shares how real transformation shows up in a believer's passion, humility, and purpose — not just in what we know, but in how we live. God calls us to a faith that's alive and energized by the Holy Spirit, not cold or routine. Mike encourages listeners to stay spiritually alert, to keep their fire for God burning even in difficult seasons, and to show genuine honor and care for others, remembering that true zeal and love flow from a heart centered on serving the Lord.

Read OnlineJesus said to his disciples: “Suppose one of you has a friend to whom he goes at midnight and says, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread, for a friend of mine has arrived at my house from a journey and I have nothing to offer him…'” Luke 11:5–6Unless your friend were truly a very close friend, you may hesitate in waking them and their family at midnight to ask to borrow some food. And even if it were a very close friend, you would probably hesitate for fear of disturbing them. But in this parable, the “friend” is God. Jesus just finished giving His disciples the “Our Father” prayer, and now He adds this parable as a way of expressing the great confidence and determination with which we must pray to the Father. The parable concludes by stating that even if the person in bed does not get up to meet the request, they will do so “because of his persistence.” And though God always is attentive to our prayer, our persistence is an essential quality we must have.When we pray to God with persistence, never doubting the goodness and generosity of God, God will pour forth upon us everything that is good. Of course, if our prayer is for something that is selfish or not in accord with the will of God, then all the begging in the world will not be effective. But when we pray as the “Our Father” prayer teaches us, then we can be certain that our fidelity to that prayer, prayed with the utmost trust and persistence, will effect the good gifts of the will of God in our lives.One of the seven petitions of the “Our Father” prayer is “Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.” This is a truly beautiful petition that requires not only ongoing persistence but also detachment from our preference in life. To pray that “God's” will be done and that “His” Kingdom come is a way of also saying that you surrender all of your preferences to God. You come to God acknowledging that your will may not be God's will. Thus, this petition expresses detachment in a powerful way. Reflect, today, upon the importance of praying with the utmost fervor and persistence to God. Reflect, also, upon the importance of doing so with detachment. What does God want of you? What is His holy will for your life? Seek that will and that will alone with all your heart and you will discover that His will truly will come to be in your life. My perfect Lord, Your will and Your will alone is what I want and seek. I seek it with all the powers of my soul. Help me to grow in confidence in You and Your goodness. May I trust in You and believe with all my heart that You truly will bring forth Your holy will in my life if I only persist in prayer and trust. Jesus, I trust in You.

Pentecost isn't just a feast—it's your call to mission. Deacon Mike Beauvais and Deacon Dan Lupo unpack how the Holy Spirit equips ordinary Catholics today. Listen for the biblical roots of Pentecost—from Babel to the Upper Room—and why the Church calls it her birthday. Deacon Dan shares his vocation story, the role his wife played in discernment, and how sacramental grace enables what we can't do alone. They connect confirmation with charisms, courage, and concrete service in parish and family life, and reflect on Joel's prophecy, apostolic boldness, and modern witness—even martyrdom.

É possível estar cheio de zelo e mesmo assim estar perdido. Em Romanos 10:2–3, o apóstolo Paulo fala sobre o povo de Israel — pessoas profundamente religiosas, sinceras e devotas, mas que rejeitaram a justiça de Deus por meio de Cristo. Neste episódio, refletimos sobre a tragédia de correr com determinação por uma estrada espiritual errada. Fervor não é suficiente. Sinceridade não salva. O único caminho para Deus é através da justiça que Ele mesmo provê em Cristo. Descubra por que a humildade de parar e confiar no Evangelho é a única maneira de chegar ao lar eterno.

Fervor for religious freedom and Biblical teaching started a great migration of believers to the American colonies during the 1600's.
Peter's journey during Holy Week reveals how faith can swing between bold confidence and paralyzing fear. Initially close to Jesus, Peter displayed remarkable courage, even attempting to walk on water and vowing never to deny Christ. However, when he began following at a distance after Jesus' arrest, his boldness crumbled into fear and denial. This pattern reflects how many believers today struggle with maintaining closeness to God, often due to social pressures or past hurts. The key to regaining spiritual boldness lies in restoring a close relationship with Christ, just as Peter did after the resurrection.

Read OnlineJesus said to his disciples: “Suppose one of you has a friend to whom he goes at midnight and says, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread, for a friend of mine has arrived at my house from a journey and I have nothing to offer him…'” Luke 11:5–6Unless your friend were truly a very close friend, you may hesitate in waking them and their family at midnight to ask to borrow some food. And even if it were a very close friend, you would probably hesitate for fear of disturbing them. But in this parable, the “friend” is God. Jesus just finished giving His disciples the “Our Father” prayer, and now He adds this parable as a way of expressing the great confidence and determination with which we must pray to the Father. The parable concludes by stating that even if the person in bed does not get up to meet the request, they will do so “because of his persistence.” And though God always is attentive to our prayer, our persistence is an essential quality we must have.When we pray to God with persistence, never doubting the goodness and generosity of God, God will pour forth upon us everything that is good. Of course, if our prayer is for something that is selfish or not in accord with the will of God, then all the begging in the world will not be effective. But when we pray as the “Our Father” prayer teaches us, then we can be certain that our fidelity to that prayer, prayed with the utmost trust and persistence, will effect the good gifts of the will of God in our lives.One of the seven petitions of the “Our Father” prayer is “Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.” This is a truly beautiful petition that requires not only ongoing persistence but also detachment from our preference in life. To pray that “God's” will be done and that “His” Kingdom come is a way of also saying that you surrender all of your preferences to God. You come to God acknowledging that your will may not be God's will. Thus, this petition expresses detachment in a powerful way.Reflect, today, upon the importance of praying with the utmost fervor and persistence to God. Reflect, also, upon the importance of doing so with detachment. What does God want of you? What is His holy will for your life? Seek that will and that will alone with all your heart and you will discover that His will truly will come to be in your life.My perfect Lord, Your will and Your will alone is what I want and seek. I seek it with all the powers of my soul. Help me to grow in confidence in You and Your goodness. May I trust in You and believe with all my heart that You truly will bring forth Your holy will in my life if I only persist in prayer and trust. Jesus, I trust in You.Source of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2024 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.
