This week we learn about the healing powers of the Rosary with author Gary Jansen. We also receive Aid to the Church in Need updates from Pakistan; Sr. Marie-Paul Curley, fsp has a window to the soul of an academy-award-winning animated film, and we reconnect with singer/songwriter, Will Hickl, of the Novum Collective.
Gary Jansen, the author of “The Healing Power of Praying the Rosary,” discusses how an encounter at the gym led him to new insights about the rosary, how meditative prayer can improve our physical and spiritual well-being, and why a good prayer life can help us make the kingdom of God more present to others.
The communion of saints is an integral part of the Catholic faith—and I don't just mean in a theological sort of way. What's the name of your parish? Chances are, it's a saint's name. Have you looked closely at that prayer card on your shelf? I bet there's a saint attached to it. How about the stained glass windows or the name of the local Catholic school or that prayer you mutter when you've lost something? The communion saints is engrained in our daily lives, names and half-remembered stories that float just at the outskirts of our memory. It's understandable. There are a lot of saints. We all have our favorites, our go-to team for prayer and inspiration. But for every saint we know well, I'll be there are dozens more we've never even heard of from places we probably can't even find a map. All this to say, the lives of the saints—these great tales of mysticism, faith and works of justice—can be fuel for our spiritual lives for days and weeks and months to come, if we but take the time to delve into their stories. That's why our friend Gary Jansen is back on the pod today. Gary's the director and executive editor at Loyola Press. And he's the author of so many books it's hard to keep track—one literally dropped while we're having this conversation. But today, Gary is here to talk about his encyclopedic book on the saints, aptly called "Saints, Angels and Demons: An A-to-Z Guide to the Holy and the Damned." And hey—if you like what you here, pick up Gary's latest book, "The Healing Power of Pray the Rosary." One more thing: Lent begins next week. As part of our 40-day journey, we're dropping a new and limited podcast series right here in this feed called The Work of Lent. Every Friday, you'll hear me talk with a professional Catholic—someone who makes it their life's work to work on Lent. These are conversations about vocation, about balancing the professional and the personal and ultimately, how all these things can and do conspire together at Lent to give us an opportunity to grow deeper in our spiritual lives and help others along the way.

In this engaging conversation, Kimberly and Gary Jansen explore the profound themes of spirituality, the significance of the heart as a center of intelligence, and the transformative power of small acts of love. They delve into the complexities of grief, the dark night of the soul, and the role of saints and angels in our spiritual journeys. Through personal anecdotes and insights, they highlight the importance of spiritual practices in navigating life's challenges and fostering emotional resilience. They explore the profound roles of angels and saints in spiritual guidance, the importance of forgiveness, acceptance, and living in gratitude. They also delve into how these themes intersect with personal growth and the mystical experiences that shape our understanding of the divine.
Gary Jansen, the author of “Saints, Angels, and Demons: An A-to-Z Guide to the Holy and the Damned,” discusses the seeds of his interest in the saints, why we need to remember the saints were “imperfect individuals,” how actor Bill Murray is linked to St. Catherine of Siena, and the enduring legacies of the two Francises: de Sales and of Assisi.

In honor of National Poetry Month - which is currently underway during April 2024 - author and editor Gary Jansen returns to the podcast to talk about his latest book, "Meditations at Midnight: Poetry and Prose." Gary lives at the intersection of faith and art. He's worked in publishing a long time—both at secular publishing houses editing Catholic authors, and now at Loyola Press, acquiring and mentoring authors that are writing for a Catholic publisher. Gary is an author himself; he's been on this podcast before talking about his ghost-ridden memoir, “Holy Ghosts,” and his self-help book called “MicroShifts.” In 2023, he won the Christopher Award for the children's book “Remember Us With Smiles,” that he co-wrote with his wife. And those are just a few of his books. He's back today to talk about his latest book and to reflect on the lasting impact that good writing can have on our souls. If you want to learn more about Gary, visit garyjansen.com.
Christopher Award-winning author Gary Jansen discusses his latest book “Meditations at Midnight,” in which he creatively explores the many ways he has encountered God through the years – and in which he uses poetry to revisit Jesus's passion and crucifixion.
In this episode, Antony Barone Kolenc speaks with editor, author, and lecturer Gary Jansen about developing spiritual practices in little steps with our youth, and we review his award-winning family picture book, Remember Us With Smiles.
This is a spooky episode. And that makes sense, right? We're in that time of year when both secular and spiritual calendars invite us to reflect on the supernatural, the unknown, those spirits at work in our lives in ways we can't quite put our finger on. We celebrate and remember our beloved dead—but first we masquerade as ghosts and goblins For many of us, the more secular ghost stories that Halloween represents—hauntings and the like—are kept separate from our belief in Heaven and the afterlife, all that All Saints and All Souls Days point to. But for our guest today, Gary Jansen—Director for New Products and Acquisitions at Loyola Press and author of the book, “Holy Ghosts: Or How a (Not So) Good Catholic Boy Became a Believer in Things that Go Bump in the Night—ghosts, spirits, souls and the afterlife all come together in his own story and his own faith. A number of years ago, he found himself living in a real haunted house. He writes about it in his book, and he shares some reflections on the matter with us today. In the end, what Gary really drives home is that any supernatural occurrences ultimately serve to lift our gaze upward at the supernatural world in general—in that world, we encounter angels and demons, miracles and hidden whispers, and ultimately, we come closer to God as we delve more deeply into the mysteries of our faith.

Lent is only a few weeks away. But before you panic about what to do during these upcoming forty days of prayer, fasting and almsgiving, listen to the advice of spiritual author Gary Jansen. Gary is the author of several spirituality books, including his latest, “MicroShifts: Transforming Your Life One Step At A Time.” Throughout his career as a writer, editor and publisher, Gary has devoted a lot of writing and thinking to the intersection of spirituality and human potential. In “MicroShifts,” Gary grapples with the question: What would our lives look like if we lived fifteen minutes out of each day for something beyond ourselves? What changes could we make – in our lives and in the lives of those around us? The act of microshifting, as Gary explains, can affect any and all aspects of our lives – and so, this conversation spans all sorts of things, from Daoism to ghosts, from social media to Ignatian spirituality. Ultimately, this conversation will help you get ready for Lent, and the spiritual disciplines and opportunities it presents. And, as a bonus, throughout the month of February, you can download Gary's book, "MicroShifts," for free.

With the rise of low-carb diets, including Paleo and ketogenic approaches, grains have come under fire as a food source. They are wrongly accused of being responsible for everything from indigestion to weight gain. Fortunately, science doesn’t support the notion that all grains are bad; at best, the research shows that we simply need to be selective about our grain consumption—and that good grains can be part of a healthy, balanced diet for most people. Next, we have my very special guest Gary Jansen, who is the director of Image Books, a senior editor at Penguin Random House, and best-selling author. For the last ten years Gary has been writing about spirituality and human potential. Listen in, as Gary shares how making small changes in your life, if done consistently, can bring fulfillment and connection into your overall health and wellbeing.
This week Jen talks about: - Why "homechurch" doesn't take it far enough (she wants "bedchurch") - Her new patron saint for the year, chosen at random (it was a surprising choice!) - How making her bed in the morning changed her life And she has a great chat with Gary Jansen, author of The 15 Minute Prayer Solution.
