Send us a textJoin us in keeping a Holy Lent! The theme for this year's Lenten series is Growing Up in Christ! We get to this theme in response to the opportunity and necessity of us all becoming more mature Christians. Our marriages, families, vocations, state, nation and world all will be better when we decide, with new resolve, to Grow up in Christ! Above all, Growing up in Christ is an active friendship with Jesus that changes us and points us toward the world that he loves. For the next five weeks, we'll offer a video meditation on this theme with a study companion for you to make the meditations as personal and useful as possible. In today's episode, Melissa and Bishop Wright have a conversation about the Jesus' temptations in the wilderness and how Bishop Wright landed on Settled as the opening meditation to the series. In a time filled with anxiety and external pressures, it's vital to ground ourselves in the truth of who we are as beloved children of God. Are we truly settled in our self-worth? Listen in for the full conversation.Learn more about this year's series, watch the weekly videos, and download the reflection guides here.Support the show Follow us on IG and FB at Bishop Rob Wright.

Homily of the Sunday of the Cross From Bishop Nicholas (DOMSE Newsletter): The Church has placed the Cross in the middle of Great and Holy Lent, the third Sunday of the Fast, for a very specific reason!  The Church has placed the Cross in the middle of Great and Holy Lent, the third Sunday of the Fast, for a very specific reason!  By the third Sunday of the Fast, most of us have been abstaining from eating prescribed sumptuous foods for three weeks, participating in many services each week at inconvenient times of the day after having worked long hours, expanding our prayer rules, and reading spiritual books. Having done ascetical deeds, some of us are weary, tired, and may feel unsettled. Prior to Christ being crucified, the cross was a sign of disobedience, a sign of unlawful activity, a sign of damnation, and a sign of condemnation. Thieves and criminals died on the cross so that society was “cleansed.” Jesus was considered one of those unlawful people despite the fact He had healed the sick, raised the dead, and performed miracles that had not been done by anyone else prior to His incarnation. He did not fit their earthly expectations with His divine plan! Therefore, He was crucified. But after His resurrection, the Disciples, who effectively became apostles at Pentecost (Acts 2:14-42), began to change the common perception of the Cross as they began preaching the resurrected Jesus Christ. Having received the Holy Spirit, Peter's sermon (Acts 2:14-39) was emotionally moving and thought-provoking to the crowds. Thousands were baptized and started following Christ and His teachings through the words of the Apostles. The faithful's view of the Cross began to change from a condemnation interpretation to a salvational reality, from a discouraging truth to an encouraging certainty, from a despair mentality to a hope mindset, and from a life destroying event to a life-giving actuality. Such a change in demeanor toward the Cross urged the Church to utilize its power to inspire the faithful to take up the whole armor of God that they may be able to withstand in the evil day (Ephesians 6:13). That is why the Feast of the Cross has been celebrated on the third Sunday of Great and Holy Lent. May God bless you and may the Holy Trinity protect you all! + Bishop Nicholas

How to keep a Holy Lent

We picked up this evening with Step One “On Renunciation of the World”. St. John‘s focus is on entering into the spiritual life, the ascetical life, fully. We are not to make excuses out of our past sins or let them become impediments to our engaging in the spiritual battle. Psychologically they can become exactly that. Shame can make us hold back from opening ourselves to God and the healing that He alone offers. Likewise, fear of what lies ahead and the discipline involved can keep us from investing ourselves fully. Rather, we are to respond as if we were called by an earthly king; eagerly leaving everything to go to him and remaining alert lest he should call us day or night. We would never give ourselves over to sloth or cowardice knowing that we would find ourselves under the king's judgment. Thus, we are to enter into the spiritual life unfettered by worldly concerns. Whether one is a monk or living in the world, one must have God as the beginning and end of all things - the very center of our existence. He must be desired and loved above all things.  If this is true then we will charge into the “good fight” with joy and love without being afraid of our enemies, the demons. They know the movements of the mind and the heart, the patterns of behavior that they observe within us and whether or not we are scared. Therefore, John tells us, we must enter into the battle courageously for no one fights with a plucky fighter.  Naturally St. John begins by focusing on the early moments of the ascetical life. God by design protects the novice in the spiritual life in order to keep him from falling into despondency. He hides the difficulty of the contest. However, if God sees a courageous soul He will allow him to experience conflict and to be in embattled in order that he might be crowned all the sooner. Thus, God will allow us to be tested if it will perfect our love and virtue and if He sees our zeal for Him. --- Text of chat during the group: 00:09:34 Robyn Greco: i could listen to you preach anytime Father, because you're such an excellent teacher   00:18:20 Ren: The number of men who started chuckling just then was pretty fantastic.

Fr. Mauritius gives the sermon on the 6th gospel of Holy Lent, concerning the blind man.

Remembering is always the first step in turning to God. Man's first step away from God was a failure to remember. It doesn't sound nearly as hideous as it is, but what really lies at the root of all our sin, and all our woe, is forgetfulness. It's not so much what we have done that is man's great failure, but what we have failed to do. The on-going power of sin, even in our lives, those of us who have come to chirst and been baptized, is simple neglect. And a Holy Lent for us will consist of attentiveness and remembrance.

The prodigal son is a favorite parable of many. Partly, because if we are honest, we've at one point or another been the foolish young son, the loving father, or the resenting older brother. It is also because family strife is real, hard, and we all go through it at times in our lives. In this episode, Melissa and Bishop Wright have a conversation about all three of the family members in this story, and when it comes to love there is something more at stake than right and wrong. Listen in for the full conversation.This episode is based on Intimacy, the fourth of a 5-part Lenten video series from Bishop Rob Wright.

Before Moses becomes a deliverer of his people, he's a felon in the wilderness. Intimacy with God is what changes him from a rogue to a reformer. God says "I am" and this exchange of names is the beginning of knowing and being known.In this episode, Melissa and Bishop Wright have a conversation about practical ways to grow closer in intimacy with God and what gets in the way; not only in our relationship with but in our relationship with neighbor and family.

We are heavenly citizens living out our lives on earth. We are in this world, but striving to be not of this world. That's hard.

Lent has begun! And we are excited to share Lent with you over these next weeks. In this episode, Melissa and Bishop Wright have a conversation about Jesus in the Wilderness. He's fasting for 40 days and what happens out in the desert. Jesus is tempted by the devil. Not the devil that we might think of, but the Hebraic devil that comes to test Jesus with his knowledge of scripture; of God's very word.This episode is based on Clearer, the first of a 5-part Lenten video series from Bishop Rob Wright.

Today is the First Day of Lent, commonly known as Ash Wednesday Lent is a season of fasting, penance, prayer, and seeing some of the places where we all fall short of God's will for us, and were we love sin rather than love God. Father Blackburn preaches this sermon on Ash Wednesday Evening just before we are called to repentance and to have ashes imposed upon us.

If wars and rumors of them, rampant inflation which will lead to mass starvation, and the pestilences of both disease and evil governments weren't enough to try to make this Lent a holy offering to God... Well, then I don't know what to do for you.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/radiofreecatholic. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Cancel not! Rather Bear All Things, Love Your Enemies and Pray for Those Who Persecute You! MESSAGE SUMMARY: On Ash Wednesday we are invited to the observance of a Holy Lent. It is meant to include self-examination and repentance. We do not hear much about repentance. Here is a challenge. With the help of the Holy Spirit, examine how you respond to others who disagree with you. Examine not the content of the argument or disagreement. Examine your response. For we live in age where the culture teaches us to part ways, disassociate, and unfriend. The Cancel Culture is making its way into the life of all American churches in all denominations. So what if we have different opinions about vaccines, masks, homeschooling or the new store up the road. Are peacemakers meant to cancel others? Jesus followers are given the Holy Spirit precisely to make us more like Jesus, to think more like Jesus. How would Jesus respond? With love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control? Doesn't the love of Jesus always protect, always trust, always hope, always persevere? We are to love our neighbor as ourself! We can't control how others respond. We can control how we respond. Canceling ought not be the response of the Jesus follower. If we are meant to deliver good news, cancelling, unfriending, and disassociation cannot be on the table. You are invited to a Holy Lent, to self-examination and repentance.   TODAY'S PRAYER: Most merciful God I confess that I have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what I have done, and by what I have left undone. I have not loved you with my whole heart; I have not loved my neighbors as myself. I am truly sorry and I humbly repent. For the sake of your son Jesus Christ, have mercy on me and forgive me; that I might delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of Your Name. Amen.  TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, because of I am filled with the Holy Spirit, I will not be controlled by my Self-Centeredness. Rather, I will walk in the Spirit's fruit of Love. “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” (Galatians 5:22f).
