Podcasts about Happy Easter

Happy Easter! Bishop Parkes blesses the faithful and shares 5 ways to keep the Easter season going through Pentecost.  He also gives an update on the Million Acts of Mercy Challenge, state of vocations in the diocese, faith traditions, and coming clergy reassignments.

Happy Easter! There are nine days until Pentecost—meaning today marks the beginning of the original and most powerful novena: the Pentecost Novena.   In this episode of Rise Up, Father Jonathan Meyer invites you to join Mary, the apostles, and the early Church in the Upper Room as we pray for a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit.   Discover the beauty and power of novenas, the importance of writing down your intentions, and the simple invitation: “Come, Holy Spirit.”  

Happy Easter and welcome to Rise Up with Fr. Jonathan Meyer! Today's Gospel reminds us of a powerful truth: the ruler of this world has been condemned. Jesus has triumphed over sin and death—He has won! And because of that, we are called to live with joy, hope, and encouragement, even in a broken world. So… do you really believe He's victorious? Let this be a reminder: We know how the story ends. We know who wins. Hallelujah!  

“He takes away every branch in me that does not bear fruit.” (John 15:2)   In this Easter reflection, Fr. Jonathan Meyer challenges us to look at our lives honestly and ask: What branch in me needs to be pruned? Is it a habit? A distraction? A dependency? Even the things that seem “alive” may be draining your spiritual energy.   Just like shrubs need pruning to thrive, we too must cut away what doesn't lead to fruitfulness—so we can grow stronger in faith, freedom, and joy.  

Happy Easter! Hello St. Mary Magdalene,  Blessed Good Friday and Happy Easter! How good God is! He allows His heart to be pierced today and the font of grace and mercy flow forth. But this also means that there's room in His pierced heart for each of us! I can't help but think about this during these most sacred days. Christ chooses each of us, Christ chooses you and He makes room for us in His heart so that we might dwell with Him forever. For this we can always give thanks and look to any crucifix with love, gratitude, and hope in the debt that He paid for our salvation. We adore you O Christ, and we praise you! Because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world.  God bless,  Fr. Chris Visit us: https://www.smarymag.org Support us online: https://membership.faithdirect.net/AZ754

There is room for you in the pierced heart of Jesus! Hello St. Mary Magdalene,  Happy Easter! This weekend we celebrate Divine Mercy Sunday, that wonderful feast where we celebrate and give thanks for the victory of Christ over sin and death!  Also I share a bit on Pope Francis and what I take away the most from his pontificate and legacy.  Come join us for our Divine Mercy holy hour on Sunday April 26, 2025 from 3 to 4pm in the church!   God bless,  Fr. Chris Visit us: https://www.smarymag.org Support us online: https://membership.faithdirect.net/AZ754

Happy Easter! ✝️ He is Risen—Alleluia! As Christians, we believe in one God in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. But do we truly pray and relate to each person of the Trinity? In today's Rise Up reflection, Fr. Jonathan Meyer unpacks the relational love at the heart of the Trinity and invites us to deepen our prayer life by entering into that divine relationship. Jesus reminds us: “Whoever receives the one I send receives me” (John 13:20).

How will you honor your mother today? On this 4th Sunday of Easter—Good Shepherd Sunday—and Mother's Day, Fr. Jonathan Meyer reflects on the beautiful connection between shepherds, sheep, and the ultimate sacrificial Lamb. Drawing inspiration from the childhood rhyme Mary had a little lamb, he invites us to see both Mary, the mother of Jesus, and all mothers as shepherds leading their children in love and sacrifice.   Let today be a celebration of motherhood, femininity, and the Blessed Virgin Mary—who once held the Lamb of God in her arms and guided Him through life.  

“When was the last time you went to daily Mass?”   In today's Rise Up reflection, Fr. Meyer challenges us to rediscover the gift of daily worship. Just as God fed the Israelites with manna every day, He now offers us the true Bread from Heaven—Jesus Himself—in the Eucharist, every single day.   Daily Mass isn't just for priests or religious. It's for you. It's for all of us. Let it change your life.   Amen. Hallelujah. Happy Easter!   #RiseUp #Catholic #DailyMass #Eucharist #FultonSheen #CatholicLife #BreadFromHeaven

Happy Easter! In today's Rise Up, Fr. Jonathan Meyer invites us to reflect on a joyful and powerful question: What is your favorite church hymn?   Music is a vital part of our Christian life, not just at Mass, but every day. Fr. Meyer encourages us to build playlists of sacred music, dive into the lyrics of our favorite hymns, discover their biblical roots, and share them with others.   Today's Gospel reminds us: “I am the Bread of Life.” And one hymn beautifully echoes this truth: “You satisfy the hungry heart with gifts of finest wheat…”   Let your heart be filled with joy this Easter season through the gift of sacred music! #RiseUp #FavoriteHymn #FrMeyer #BreadOfLife #CatholicMusic #SacredMusic #EasterSeason #CatholicFaith

Happy Easter! In today's Rise Up reflection, Fr. Jonathan Beyer invites us into a powerful moment of gratitude. What prayers has God answered in your life — big or small, recent or long ago? From novenas to desperate cries for help, today is a chance to reflect and give thanks. Jesus tells us in the Gospel, “I am the Bread of Life.” He is the answer to our deepest prayers — always present, always faithful. ✍️ Take a moment today: write down the prayers God has answered and rejoice in His goodness. He hears you. He loves you. He provides. Hallelujah! #RiseUp #EasterJoy #AnsweredPrayers #FrJonathanBeyer #CatholicReflection #Gratitude #BreadOfLife #DailyFaith

Happy Easter! ✝️ As we step into a new workweek, today's Rise Up reflection challenges us to ask two important questions: What do I work for? Who do I work for?   Jesus reminds us in today's Gospel, “Do not work for food that perishes, but for the food that endures for eternal life.” Are we busy chasing success, grades, and money—or are we working for love, for people, for eternal life?   Let's take time today to slow down, reflect, and reorient our lives toward what truly matters: the Eucharist, community, friendship, and love. Let's start a revolution of joy this Easter season!  

Happy Easter! During this time of joy and celebration, it's all too easy to forget the intense period of reflection and prayer we just experienced during Lent. We might be tempted to return to the old habits or vices that we spent the last 40 days working to overcome. Don't let your life return to “normal.” Through daily prayer, fasting, and small everyday acts of self-giving love, continue allowing yourself to be transformed by the Holy Spirit until the day you are called home.

We see clearly within the struggles of the desert fathers how difficult it can be to avoid extremes in thought and action. We see in them those filled with desire for God and striving for purity of heart; maintaining watchfulness and fostering a hatred of sin. Yet, how is one form and develop a sensitive conscience and awareness of the power of our own appetites and desires as human beings, concern with demonic provocation, and yet to hold on to a true view of the beauty of creation and the dignity of the human person? As fully invested as the desert fathers were, and as psychologically and spiritually astute as they could be, this was no small task. We find in their language at times a tendency to project their fear of sin or temptation onto others. This can be uniquely the struggle of religious people; rather than humbly acknowledging the truth within our own hearts and the power of our own desires we will blame temptation upon others – on the things they say or do. Saint Philip Neri once said: “Man is often the carpenter of his own crosses”. We do not like to acknowledge the truth of that fact; that we are the source of our own temptation or that it arises out of our own imagination and memory. Despite this, however, they did see very clearly that the Evil One can use every pretext to provoke a person into sin. The devil can appear as an angel of light, and the desert fathers would have us never forget this. Even that which is good - those bonds of love and familial affection, nostalgia for those relationships that have been so powerful - all of these things, the evil one will work on to distract us or pull us in a particular direction. One might argue, somewhat convincingly, that such a concern is extreme or neurotic. In this we do not want to defend the indefensible. However, we want to understand the changeableness of the human heart and mind, its fickleness and treachery. Demonic provocation can turn the mind and the heart toward things that we never imagined we would ever consider or do. May God have mercy on us and guide us. --- Text of chat during the group: 00:19:49 Wayne: page  again 00:20:09 Myles Davidson: Pg 230 L 4 00:20:30 Wayne: thnx 00:28:58 Anthony: This actually makes a lot of sense if we consider pagan myth. Monks strove to be like the descriptions of angels. But that desire to be "heavenly" can be perverted if we let the pagan myths distort our minds of the heavenly since sex was so often part of myth: like the relationship of Uranos and Gaiea, or the Olympians. We need a right view of God and creation and created things if we will truly strive to the true God. 00:52:05 Anthony: I saw it. Very good.  Also has scenes of temptation to love a woman who was attracted to him when they were young. 00:57:34 Catherine Opie: Being a new convert and coming from a non Catholic, mostly atheist family, and having a friend base who are not Christian I can relate in a small way how that might feel. I have had both friends and family become vitriolic over my change in belief. It can be challenging because I am no longer their ally in viewpoint. 01:03:01 Ashton L: I'd say a lot of people get fanatic and someone with genuine zeal confused 01:04:11 Anthony: Honest, not being a fanatic is a serious concern because some kinds of fundamentalism and truly nuts and malformed.  I don't want to be that guy.  I don't want to blow out of proportion stories of demons or private visions.  Then you're almost a solupsist, and insufferable. 01:07:29 Kate : There are a number of Western saints, men and women, who were great friends.  For example, Sts. John of the Cross and Teresa of Avila, Sts. Francis and Clare, Sts. Francis de Sales and Jane Frances de Chantal, among others.  I wonder if you could comment on how to understand these great spiritual friendships in light of these writings. 01:08:02 Forrest Cavalier: Reacted to "There are a number o..." with

"It was Jesus. I was on my knees in front of Jesus. He looked at me with such love, love that I have never ever seen in this world." ---------- Happy Easter! Let's go back many years to a very special Easter weekend. It was episode 104. Melody was about to meet Jesus, a man she had no belief in. For decades, she had worshiped the Earth, in a pagan belief known as Wicca. Melody believed there was no God, no heaven or hell. Then, came her dream. In the dream, she saw a man with long hair, being led by a jeering crowd. She didn't know who he was, but something about his eyes—so full of love and understanding—pulled her in. When he looked at her, it felt like he saw everything… and still loved her. He spoke to her of his concern for her soul. That dream led her to a church on Easter Sunday, that she'd never visited before, and to a divine appointment she could never have planned, another unmistakable Touched by Heaven moment.

Happy Easter, friends. In this special episode, Thomas explores Jesus's words to marry when she recognizes Him risen from the tomb: “Do not cling to me.” From a contemplative perspective, what could this mean? What happens when we stop clinging to our wrong ideas, our limiting beliefs? With open mind and open heart, we can come to know the Living Presence that is already in our midst. Christ is risen, indeed! Enjoy this Easter meditation.    

Happy Easter to all! Lent is 40 days, Easter is 50. Let's CELEBRATE WITH HOPE AND JOY!

Healing Sexual Sin & Shame through the Cross (and Curiosity): Interview with Jay Stringer There is something so incredible about a story of redemption. And, dear reader, I believe this conversation will be a turning point for you, as it has been for so many in our community. I've walked alongside men and women wrestling with the deep pain of sexual brokenness- the battles they face in their marriage beds, their thought lives, their past, and the weight of shame. I've seen firsthand the power of God to restore what seemed utterly lost. And this conversation with Jay Stringer is an invitation to that very healing journey. Jay is a therapist, minister, researcher, and author of Unwanted: How Sexual Brokenness Reveals Our Way to Healing. His compassionate, curious approach offers a fresh lens: that the very behaviors we hate are not random. They are clues. And they point us to healing. On this Good Friday, as we reflect on the sacrifice of Jesus, there is no better time to consider what it truly means to lay our shame at the foot of the cross. Let's dive in. The Cross and Your Story of Healing We all carry wounds. Some we're acutely aware of, and others we've buried so deeply that they show up in our actions long before we recognize them in our hearts. Jay opened our conversation by pointing us to the profound truth of the cross. Jesus knew exactly what you would do. Every mistake. Every moment of shame. And yet, He chose to take it all upon Himself. He bore your sin and your shame. This is not a journey of trying harder to be good enough. It's about understanding how deeply Jesus loves you, even in your lowest moments, and choosing to respond to His love with a courageous step toward healing. Unwanted Behaviors: They Are Not Random One of the most freeing truths Jay shared is this: our unwanted behaviors are not random. Through his extensive clinical work and groundbreaking research, Jay discovered that the specific ways we struggle are deeply connected to our stories of origin. Jay explained that in his role as the sex addiction therapist for the city of Seattle, he began to see patterns. Men arrested for soliciting sex were not making random choices. Their actions were connected to predictable stories of pain and trauma. Whether you grew up in a home of neglect, where your heart longed for connection and was left empty, or in a home of rigid control, where you felt powerless and unseen, these early experiences shape the way you cope and the behaviors you pursue as an adult. Your brain, your body, your desires are all responding to unhealed wounds. Understanding the Root: Family Systems and the Power of Priming Jay described two primary family systems that often set the stage for future struggles: The Disengaged Family System: Parents were physically or emotionally absent. Your longing for connection was never fulfilled. When you first experienced the neurochemical bond of pornography or sex, it felt like the deepest connection you had ever known. The Rigid, Authoritarian Family System: Parents were hyper-controlling, using performance or religion to shape you. You felt powerless and suffocated. Pornography, in contrast, offered a false sense of control and power over your environment. Both systems prime you for certain temptations. And recognizing this isn't about blaming parents or excusing behaviors. It's about gaining understanding. Because understanding is what allows us to grieve. And grieving opens the door to healing. As Jay says, “You can't just try to stop an unhealthy behavior. You have to understand why you were drawn to that behavior in the first place.” Shame Keeps You Stuck. Curiosity Sets You Free. As Christians, we know the seriousness of sin. But too often, we try to hate our way to holiness. We believe that if we punish ourselves enough, we'll finally change. But, the Apostle Paul tells us that it is God's kindness that leads us to repentance (Romans 2:4). Not our contempt. Not our loathing. Not our self-hatred. Jay encouraged us to replace self-contempt with curiosity. Ask yourself: Why am I drawn to this behavior? What is the pain underneath my actions? What does this reveal about my longing to be seen, known, and loved? When we approach our story with curiosity, we give God space to reveal the roots of our pain. The Shark of Shame: Swim Toward It Jay also shared a fascinating metaphor that I just love: Professional shark diver Andy Casagrande was once asked what to do if a great white shark is swimming toward you. His answer? Swim toward it. If you swim away, you act like prey. But if you move toward the shark, it confuses the predator, and it backs away. Shame operates the same way. When we run from it, it devours us. But when we confront it — facing it head on, sharing vulnerably in trusted community, seeking counseling, and naming our wounds — we rob shame of its power. Swim toward the shark of shame. Face it. Name it. And watch as it loses its grip on your life. Jesus Took Your Shame to the Cross This is where our faith becomes not just helpful, but essential. The world offers coping strategies, but Jesus offers complete redemption. He didn't just take your sin to the cross; He took your shame. Through His death and resurrection, we are invited into freedom. If you've ever felt like your past disqualifies you from God's love, let me remind you: Jesus knew your struggles when He went to the cross. He went anyway. He has already made a way for you to live in righteousness, peace, and freedom. This is the hope of Easter. The hope of the Gospel. From Crisis to Calling: Your Story Matters So often, the crises of our lives — the shame, the addictions, the brokenness — are actually invitations to transformation. Jay shared that in the absence of elders to guide us through rites of passage, our souls will create crises that force us to confront our identity and our wounds. Rather than run from the crisis, we can see it as a holy opportunity. Your struggle is not the end of your story. It's the beginning of a new chapter. When you engage your story with honesty and curiosity, you step into the redemption God has for you. You become part of His story of restoration — not just for you, but for others. Final Encouragement: There Is Hope for You Dear friend, this journey is not about perfection. It's about progress. It's about engaging your story with curiosity, leaning into the kindness of God, and walking the path of healing, step by step. Jesus took your sin. He took your shame. And He rose again to give you new life. This Easter, may you embrace the truth that resurrection is possible for you, too. You are deeply loved. You are seen. You are not alone. Happy Easter.   With love,   Belah & Team   PS - Check out Jay's book here: Unwanted: How Sexual Brokenness Reveals Our Way to Healing PPS - If you want to take the first step into freedom and healing your marriage, schedule a free Clarity Call with us at delightyourmarriage.com/cc PPPS - Here is a quote from a recent graduate: “My husband and I lived parallel lives almost our entire marriage…The only thing he wanted from me in the relationship was sex. That was the last thing I wanted to give him because I was exhausted from trying to be the super mom and head of the household. This caused a rift in our relationship…After a separation in our own home we each began our own counseling…Both of our counselors questioned if a form of sex addiction might be part of the problem. I dove into trying to learn everything I could about sex addiction. I joined a 12 step group for spouses of sex addicts. That program is about avoiding unhealthy sexual behaviors. I didn't even know what healthy sexual behaviors were. After 4 years of marriage counseling and feeling stuck in a marriage that was barely hanging on, I discovered your program. I found hope for my marriage and began to see my husband in a different light”

Happy Easter. This podcast is for you if you need a boost in your faith.This is David Norrie, and I'll be honest with you, when I was young, maybe 10 years old, I had questions about faith and God and Jesus Christ. When I went to the people closest to me and asked "why do we believe in Jesus Christ," the answer I got was "just believe." That never sat well with me. So what better time than Easter week to sit down with my beautiful wife, who opened my eyes to the Word of God, and sit down to talk about reasons to believe in this man named Jesus Christ and the wonderful, incomparable word of God. It's as honest as it gets. I hope you enjoy it and share it.  SHOW NOTES:1. The clearest and most in depth explanation of where we got the Bible and how we can trust in it. This Mark Driscoll sermon will erase any doubts of how you can trust in the validity of the Bible.https://realfaith.com/sermons/john-17-woman-caught-adultery/2. In this episode we also made mention of books outside of the Bible, not included in the Apocrypha. We mention our friend Luke Rodgers who co-authored a book about the Book of Enoch. Here is the link for that. The Book of Enoch: With Commentary & Concept Art on the Book of the Watchers (Complete Edition, includes 1, 2, & 3 Enoch) Paperback - by Timothy Alberino (Author, Introduction), Luke Rodgers (Author), Nathan Henry (Authorhttps://www.amazon.com/Book-Enoch-Commentary-Watchers-Complete/dp/B0D7J15TXS3. We also spoke of the Shroud of Turin and referenced a Glenn Beck show featuring Jeremiah J. Johnston, President of Christian Thinkers Society, who guides Glenn through a scientific, historic, and theological exploration of the Shroud.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XfbQH7kK2Y&t=360s4. Not mentioned in this show but a highly suggested listen that Angelike and I suggest is the following.
