Read Online“My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord; my spirit rejoices in God my Savior for he has looked with favor on his lowly servant. From this day all generations will call me blessed: the Almighty has done great things for me and holy is his Name.” Luke 1:46–49Today we celebrate one of seventeen different memorials, feasts and solemnities in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary that are found on the Roman Liturgical Calendar. Today's celebration is one of the four great Solemnities by which our Blessed Mother is honored. Obviously, no other person other than our Lord is honored and celebrated with as much solemnity as the Mother of God.The Solemnity of the Assumption honors the fact that when the Blessed Virgin Mary completed her life on earth, she was taken body and soul into Heaven to be with her resurrected Son so as to adore the Most Holy Trinity forever. It's an amazing fact to consider that she retains her body and soul, united as one in Heaven, in anticipation of that glorious day when the new Heavens and Earth will be created and when all the faithful will rise so as to live in a new bodily form forever with God.Though this dogma of our faith had been held and believed by the faithful from the earliest times of our Church, especially since it was witnessed by those closest to our Blessed Mother at the time of her glorious Assumption, it wasn't until November 1, 1950, that Pope Pius XII solemnly proclaimed it to be so, raising this teaching of our faith to the level of a dogma, meaning, it must be held and believed by all. In part, the Holy Father declared, “...we pronounce, declare, and define it to be a divinely revealed dogma: that the Immaculate Mother of God, the ever Virgin Mary, having completed the course of her earthly life, was assumed body and soul into heavenly glory.”The Gospel passage quoted above comes from the beginning of Mary's song of praise, her Magnificat, by which she not only gives the greatest glory to God but also reveals who she is. She is the one whom “all generations” will call “blessed.” She is the one for whom “the Almighty has done great things.” She is the one who will eternally proclaim “the greatness of the Lord” and whose spirit will forever rejoice in God her Savior. And she is that lowliest of servants whom God has raised up to the greatest glory.Reflect, today, with the whole Church, upon the Most Glorious Ever-Virgin Mary who was conceived without sin, remained sinless throughout her life, and was taken body and soul into Heaven where she now adores the Most Holy Trinity and intercedes for you and for the whole Church. This is a Solemnity of great rejoicing! Share in this joy with the whole Church and with all the saints in Heaven! Most glorious and Ever-Virgin Mary, I rejoice today with you and with the whole Church for the most glorious things that God has done for you. You are beauty beyond beauty, Immaculate in every way, and worthy of our deepest love. As you now share body and soul in the glories of Heaven, please pray for me and for all your dear children on earth. Cover us with your mantle of love and pour forth the mercy of God upon us always. Mother Mary, assumed into Heaven, pray for us who have recourse to thee. Jesus, I trust in You.

You don't have to check your religion at the door at the Science Museum of Tennessee. You also don't have to suspend your scientific knowledge to enter its portals. In fact, both your faith and your intellect will be stimulated by the intense marriage of the two. And not only that, but their meeting will also have a profound effect on both. And you may realize that science and faith come from the same source: God Almighty. David Rives, founder of the Wonders Center & Science Museum in Dickson, Tennessee, explains how science, if understood correctly, can enhance faith, not destroy it. The Bible's Psalm 19 says, "The Heavens declare the glory of God... that day after day they pour forth speech." To Rives, the Psalm simply presents in poetry what his scientific mind has discovered materially. Since God created both our mind and the universe, they communicate with each other, providing us with a complete picture of the wonders of creation. Learn more about your ad choices.

Brian Watson preached this sermon on Mark 1:9-13 on July 13, 2025.
When an organization is trapped in survival mode, it doesn't just face external pressure. It suffers an internal collapse of energy, creativity, and coherence. Chronic stress becomes the culture, innovation dries up, and people burn out trying to keep the lights on. But just as individuals can heal from trauma, so can organizations, if leaders are willing to shift from constant doing to conscious being. In this episode of the Happiness Squad Podcast, Ashish Kothari and Mieke Jacobs explore how energy mastery and systemic intelligence can help leaders break free from the freeze response, reconnect to purpose, and restore wholeness to their teams and systems, unlocking the kind of flourishing that outlasts any crisis.Mieke Jacobs is a Belgium-based leadership advisor serving as Transformational Faculty and Senior Executive Coach at Mobius Executive Leadership. Drawing on two decades at DuPont in operations and large-scale change, she now guides executive teams worldwide with systemic intelligence and energy mastery. Mieke is also the author of Poet Assassin and co-author of Emergent: The Power of Systemic Intelligence to Navigate the Complexity of M&A.This episode is your invitation to lead differently by slowing down, tuning in, and trusting that wisdom lives not in doing more, but in being fully present.Things you will learn in this episode:• What happens when leaders create space for silence and stillness• Practical energy mastery tools for leaders and facilitators• Why systemic intelligence is essential for modern leadership• Rituals to shift team energy—songs, silence, and charged fields• How to spot invisible dysfunctions hidden in your company's “order”• Ways to create workplaces that energize rather than depleteStop chasing productivity and start leading with presence, energy, and wholeness.

Is God in the Temple? Or in the Heavens?
Psalm 19 is a beloved Psalm that answers three essential questions we humans must answer. The questions are: 1. Is there a God? 2. Has He revealed his will for his creation? 3. How am I to respond to His disclosure. Let's discover David's answers to these questions and be amazed and then follow his example of examination of his heart and words.
TODAY'S TREASUREThe heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge. They have no speech, they use no words; no sound is heard from them. Yet their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.Psalm 19:1-4 NIVSend us a comment!Support the show
You're a Christian, and that's a good thing? Something we should all aspire to become??Those of us who disagree, do so because you, CHRISTian, walk a paradoxical lyfe! Preach but don't perform, judge by but do not abide by the same..?Some would also purport then, that you don't truly LOVE [a supreme] God. Lemme guess, you wholeheartedly disagree? Ok well, l

Haggai promised Zerubbabel that God would endorse his leadership against all future enemies. The Lord declared He would shake the heavens and overthrow opposing kingdoms and install Zerubbabel like a signet ring. The unredeemed world will always resist God. As God shook the heavens in defense of Zerubbabel, He will do once more in a day yet to come. When Jesus comes as Judge of the world, every mountain and island will be moved out of their place. One day, every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus is Lord. All will do this unto Him as their Savior or as their Judge. Which will it be for you?HAGGAI 2:20-23PSALM 2:1-3PSALM 2:4-6HAGGAI 2:21HAGGAI 2:6HEBREWS 12:25-29REVELATION 6:12-17HAGGAI 2:23PSALM 2:10-12

In The Heavens Declare, the first message in the Psalms of Summer series, we explore Psalm 19 and discover that God is glorious, so we don't have to fear others. Through the beauty of creation and the power of Scripture, God reveals Himself to us and invites us to respond with repentance. David shows us that the fear of the Lord frees us from the trap of people-pleasing and the idol of approval. Ultimately, God's revelation leads to redemption through Jesus—the Word made flesh—who was rejected so we could be accepted. When we see His glory, we live in true freedom.

Look to the Heavens: Faith in God's Promise Today's Homily centers on the dramatic and symbolic covenant scene between God and Abraham, . . . . . . emphasizing Abraham's deep faith despite his childlessness. God showed Abraham the stars in the sky and made a covenant with him. This faith was counted as righteousness. The Homily draws a parallel between this Old Testament covenant and the new covenant brought by Jesus, whose sacrifice offers complete forgiveness and eternal life. Jesus' Covenant Unlike the promise of a physical homeland, Jesus' covenant offers a heavenly one. The Homily encourages listeners to trust in God's promises, especially during fear or uncertainty, by figuratively “looking to the heavens” and believing in God's faithful presence, even when the fulfillment of His promises may not align with our expectations. Listen more to this Meditation Media. Listen to Look to the Heavens: Faith in God's Promise ----------------------------------------------------------- Quote From The Homily Look to the heavens and believe that God is there. Look to the heavens and believe that in Jesus God's promises will come true. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow. Certainly not in the exact way you want them. Sorry Charlie. It isn't going to be that way because his plan is so much bigger. But for us to have trust to hope. ----------------------------------------------------------- God‘s Covenant with Abraham . . .

Generative AI refers to a recent approach in artificial intelligence that involves the creation of AI-generated art. This innovative technique utilizes a potent AI computer to generate images based on textual prompts or instructions. The resulting output is an AI-generated image, representing one interpretation of a given concept, such as God Showing Abraham the Stars in the Sky in this particular instance. ----------------------------------------------------------- Gospel Reading: Matthew 7: 15-20 First Reading: Genesis 15: 1-12, 17-18

I must fixate on my mistakes and even point them out to others. 2. I must disbelieve compliments. They're just being nice. Or they want something. 3. I must constantly feel like I don't fit in. 4. I must avoid burdening anyone with my requests for help and support. 5. I must stay in perpetual busyness to avoid irrelevance. 6. I must avoid rest and relaxation – or at least feel twisted with guilt whilst doing it. 7. I must be excellent, but never enjoy or celebrate any wins. Next! 8. I must find constant fault with my appearance and fixate on my flaws. 9. I must put myself under extreme pressure to be exceptional, to outrun ordinariness and mediocrity. But (see 7) it's a game I'll never win. 10. I must find others' shares of vulnerability endearing and human, but the same rules do not apply to me. Heavens, no! 11. I must defer happiness to the future, for when I've earned it. That's code for ‘never,' but yeah, tough... 12. I must avoid the frivolity of feelings, especially anger (so unbecoming.) 13. I must constantly compare myself to others and obsess on all the ways in which I'm losing. And a loser.

What would it feel like To Run the World? The Soviet rulers spent the Cold War trying desperately to find out. In To Run The World: The Kremlin's Cold War Bid for Global Power, Sergey Radchenko provides an unprecedented deep dive into the psychology of the Kremlin's decision-making. He reveals how the Soviet struggle with the United States and China reflected its irreconcilable ambitions as a self-proclaimed superpower and the leader of global revolution. This tension drove Soviet policies from Stalin's postwar scramble for territory to Khrushchev's reckless overseas adventurism and nuclear brinksmanship, Brezhnev's jockeying for influence in the third world, and Gorbachev's failed attempts to reinvent Moscow's claims to greatness. Perennial insecurities, delusions of grandeur, and desire for recognition propelled Moscow on a headlong quest for global power, with dire consequences and painful legacies that continue to shape our world. Sergey Radchenko is the Wilson E. Schmidt Distinguished Professor at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies. He has written extensively on the Cold War, nuclear history, and on Russian and Chinese foreign and security policies. He has served as a Global Fellow and a Public Policy Fellow at the Woodrow Wilson Centre and as the Zi Jiang Distinguished Professor at East China Normal University (Shanghai). Professor Radchenko's books include To Run the World: the Kremlin's Cold War Bid for Global Power (Cambridge UP, forthcoming in 2024), Two Suns in the Heavens: the Sino-Soviet Struggle for Supremacy (Wilson Center Press & Stanford UP, 2009), and Unwanted Visionaries: the Soviet Failure in Asia (Oxford UP, 2014). Professor Radchenko is a native of Sakhalin Island, Russia, was educated in the US, Hong Kong, and the UK, where he received his PhD in 2005 (LSE). Before he joined SAIS, Professor Radchenko worked and lived in Mongolia, China, and Wales. Sidney Michelini is a post-doctoral researcher working on Ecology, Climate, and Violence at the Peace Research Institute of Frankfurt (PRIF).

"Nike Sneakers and Poison: The Mass Suicide That Shocked the World"Thirty-nine bodies. Purple shrouds. Nike sneakers. And a charismatic leader who convinced his followers that death was their ticket to an alien spaceship. This is the chilling story of Heaven's Gate – the most shocking mass suicide in American history, orchestrated by a castrated madman who transformed lonely souls into willing corpses. Marshall Applewhite didn't just lead a cult; he engineered the perfect death machine, using space-age mythology and twisted religious doctrine to convince intelligent people to drink poison and die with smiles on their faces. We'll expose the horrifying psychological manipulation that turned computer programmers into suicide volunteers, the bizarre castration rituals that preceded the final act, and the methodical planning that turned a mansion into a death factory. From the group's origins as UFO believers to their final video messages recorded hours before mass death, discover how Applewhite weaponized hope itself, promising salvation through self-destruction. Featuring never-before-released police footage from inside the death house, the cult's own recordings documenting their descent into madness, and expert analysis of how seemingly rational people chose mass suicide over earthly existence. This episode reveals the terrifying truth about how easily the human mind can be reprogrammed for death – and why some monsters don't need to pull the trigger when they can convince others to do it themselves.
Welcome to the Grace in Focus podcast. Bob Wilkin and Phillipe Sterling are beginning a short series about angelology; angels, demons and Satan.

Yes! You are in! Just like Mother's Day, Father's Day can be a tough time for most. For many of you did not have the best parents. How do I know that? I ask...plus Rom 3:23. Yet there is a solution that some of you leverage that can guarantee you have the Ultimate Father. Here you go...If you dig that opening hook that is Marcus Rogers, best life. Ok, reflection time. Good dad or bad dad? Probably somewhere in the middle. Here's a good test. When you walk down the card aisle, can you pick any of those cards? The sappiest of the sappiest. Oh Dad, you are the greatest! #1 Dad! If you can't, you are not alone. In fact, I would say you are in the majority of this broken planet. Survey of FriDudes says that about 75% did not have the best dad. You see that's the key fact. We live on a broken planet. Even if your parents were good, they weren't perfect. How do I know that? Rom 3:23. So when my kids take something to me (I have 3 kids with my wife Lori of 30+ years), if I have my A game, I'll ask them, did you take this to your Ultimate Father first? As for me, I'm far from perfect. I've dug many holes. Granted, I can also teach them what not to do (avoid my mistakes). On top of that, my mood can vary. That can swing advice. No matter what your earthly Dad was/is, you do have a perfect Heavenly Father. The Ultimate Power Source. The Creator of Heavens and Earth. You don't think He knows best? My best decisions came when I put Him first. My worst decisions came when I put myself first. It is that simple of an equation.Your choice and freedom to who you put First. My earthly Dad got that. He didn't have the best earthly dad. In fact, he had a violent alcoholic dad. How did my dad change course? You can actually hear his story. Click here in the show description for that link...https://www.fridudes.com/podcast/episode/4a190612/fathers-flaws-jon-denzel-maya-and-the-way-what-works-and-doesnt-in-lifeNow go love, your Ultimate Heavenly Father and Guide. Next, love others, such as your flawed parents. So if they need mercy and grace, surely I say, you will need grace and mercy too.
