La información de Vigo, desde primera hora de la mañana, en la Cadena SER.Comenzamos hablando de la intensa jornada en el juicio por el crimen de Coia, que experimentó incidentes como la suspensión matutina por indisposición del acusado y el cambio de un jurado popular que tenía vínculos con el implicado, mientras que varios testigos declararon haber presenciado amenazas relacionadas con el caso. La Fiscalía mantiene su solicitud de veintiún años y diez meses por asesinato, si bien la defensa argumenta legítima defensa o, subsidiariamente, la reclasificación a homicidio. En el ámbito educativo, sindicatos de la enseñanza media han convocado una huelga de cuarenta y ocho horas que abarca desde educación infantil hasta Formación Profesional, reclamando fundamentalmente la reducción de las ratios en las aulas y la recuperación de las horas lectivas recortadas. El alcalde de Vigo, Abel Caballero, presentó el presupuesto de educación para el próximo año, enfatizando una partida de dos millones y medio de euros para becas de comedor, cuyo coste el Ayuntamiento de Vigo asumirá ante la falta de pago por parte de la Xunta de Galicia. Paralelamente, en el pleno municipal se debatió la acuciante preocupación por el precio de la vivienda, con peticiones para aumentar el parque de vivienda de protección en alquiler, aunque la concejala de Urbanismo defendió la creación de una empresa municipal de vivienda. Además, los padres de una niña víctima de acoso escolar criticaron duramente la falta de respuesta de la Consellería de Educación tras la activación del protocolo, proponiendo un plazo máximo de veinticuatro horas para notificar a la inspección educativa. Finalmente, el programa destacó actividades como una jornada sobre transición energética y recursos minerales y la inminente celebración de la segunda edición del festival Hematofest, con artistas confirmados como Luz Casal e Ignatius.

Last Saturday, our parish retreat was an astounding success! It was a day that will long be remembered, not merely for the crowd it drew, but for the spirit that filled the air. Nearly two hundred and fifty souls came together, united by joy and fellowship, as we launched our new parish Mission Statement: “To be faithful like Mary.”It was not an ordinary hunger that stirred among us. It was a deeper kind; it was the hunger of hearts longing to know the truth that nourishes the soul. We desired to understand why the Blessed Virgin, whose name adorns our parish walls and whose fiat still echoes through the centuries, holds such a luminous place in the life of the Church.Together we journeyed back into the early dawn of Christianity, walking beside the voices of our ancestors in the faith, the saints and scholars who bore the torch of truth when the world was just starting to hear the Good News of the Gospel. We listened to St. Ignatius of Antioch, who once knew St. Peter himself—a single heartbeat away from the words of Christ. And in that closeness, that living chain of witness, we discovered what the earliest Christians knew beyond doubt: that the Church was, from the very beginning, deeply and thoroughly Catholic.During the time of questions, one of our newest parishioners, a convert from Protestantism, raised a tender yet courageous question. “Why,” she asked, “do so many non-Catholic Christians accuse us of worshiping Mary? When we pray the rosary or sing to her, they say we take away from Jesus.”Our speaker, Joshua Charles, himself a convert and a man whose intellect burns with zeal for truth, answered with great clarity. He explained that since the 16th century, much of Protestantism has turned away from the Holy Mass as a true sacrifice. To them, it became a mere symbol, a sacred reenactment but not the very reality of Calvary made present again.Here lies the key to so much misunderstanding. For Catholics, the highest form of worship is sacrifice—the self-offering of Jesus Christ to the Father upon the altar. It is in this divine act that all our praises, prayers, and devotions find their meaning and their end. But if one no longer sees worship as sacrifice, then song and prayer become the summit. Anything else, like love for Mary, can seem a rival to Christ rather than a reflection of Him.Yet Mary's glory is no rival to His. She magnifies the Lord. Her faithfulness is the clear mirror that catches the sunlight of her Son. To be faithful like Mary is to let that same light pass through us, so that others, too, might see Christ shining more clearly in the world.And so, our retreat was more than an event; it was a quiet awakening—a rediscovery of what it means to be Catholic, to be faithful, to be, like Mary, utterly surrendered to the will of God. --- Help Spread the Good News --- Father Brian's homilies are shared freely thanks to generous listeners like you.

Today is day 297 and we are studying The Fourth Commandment. 297. Why does the Church worship on the first day of the week rather than the seventh? The earliest Christians came to observe Sunday as “the Lord's Day” (Revelation 1:10)for their primary day of worship in remembrance of Jesus' resurrection on the first day of the week. (Luke 24:1–7; Acts 20:7; 1 Corinthians 16:2; Didache 14.1; Ignatius of Antioch, Letter to the Magnesians 9) We will conclude today by praying a Collect for Strength to Await Christ's Return found on page 22 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).

Bourbon Review: Jack Daniel's Single Barrel Heritage Barrel Topic: Deacons Follow us on all your podcast platforms and: Instagram: @manhoodneat X: Manhood Neat (@ManhoodNeat) / X Youtube: Manhood, Neat Podcast - YouTube Reach out: manhood.neat@gmail.com Show Notes: History of the Role of Deacons  Biblical Origins: The role traces back to the early church in Acts 6:1-7, where the apostles appointed seven men to handle practical needs amid church growth. This addressed complaints about neglected widows in food distribution, allowing apostles to focus on prayer and preaching. By the time of Paul's letters, deacons are a formal office (e.g., Philippians 1:1). Early church fathers like Ignatius of Antioch (c. 100 AD) referenced deacons as servants alongside bishops and presbyters. "In those days when the number of disciples was increasing, the Hellenistic Jews among them complained against the Hebraic Jews because their widows were being overlooked in the daily distribution of food. So the Twelve gathered all the disciples together and said, 'It would not be right for us to neglect the ministry of the word of God in order to wait on tables. Brothers and sisters, choose seven men from among you who are known to be full of the Spirit and wisdom. We will turn this responsibility over to them'" (Acts 6:1-3, NIV). John Calvin on the early church structure: "As we have stated that three classes of ministers are set before us in Scripture, so the early Church distributed all its ministers into three orders. For from the order of presbyters, part were selected as pastors and teachers, while to the remainder was committed the censure of manners and discipline. To the deacons belonged the care of the poor and the dispensing of alms." While not explicitly called "deacons" in Acts, this is seen as the prototype. John Calvin in Geneva reformed the diaconate, emphasizing care for the poor through institutions like the general hospital. Who Can Be a Deacon  Biblical Qualifications: 1 Timothy 3:8-13 outlines character requirements, emphasizing integrity over skills. Deacons must be tested and proven blameless. "Deacons, likewise, are to be worthy of respect, sincere, not indulging in much wine, and not pursuing dishonest gain. They must keep hold of the deep truths of the faith with a clear conscience. They must first be tested; and then if there is nothing against them, let them serve as deacons" (1 Timothy 3:8-10, NIV). "A deacon must be faithful to his wife and must manage his children and his household well" (1 Timothy 3:12, NIV). Key Verse: Categories: Personal (dignified, not double-tongued, not greedy); Spiritual (hold faith with clear conscience); Family (husband of one wife, good manager of home). John Calvin on testing: "Those men are to be chosen who are approved by their past life in such a manner that, after what may be called full inquiry, they are ascertained to be well qualified." Additionally: Similar to elders but without teaching requirements (Titus 1:7-9 for comparison). Full of the Spirit and wisdom (Acts 6:3). Charles Spurgeon on deacons' character: "If deacons cannot be trusted they ought not to be deacons at all, but if they are worthy of their office they are worthy of our confidence." What They Do in/for the Church  Core Role: Deacons are servants who provide practical support, freeing elders for spiritual leadership. They meet material needs, promote unity, and handle logistics. Key Verse Quote: From Acts 6:2-4: "It would not be right for us to neglect the ministry of the word of God in order to wait on tables... We will turn this responsibility over to them and will give our attention to prayer and the ministry of the word" (NIV). John Piper on deacons' purpose: "It would seem, then, that the deacon office exists to assist the leadership of the church by relieving the elders of distractions and pressures that would divert them from the ministry of the Word and prayer and the general, visionary oversight of the church." Specific Duties: Manage benevolence (aid to poor), facilities, finances; address complaints; support missions and community service. They act as "shock absorbers" for church harmony. Charles Spurgeon on faithful deacons: "The deacons of my first village pastorate were in my esteem the excellent of the earth, in whom I took great delight. Hard-working men on the week-day, they spared no toil for their Lord on the Sabbath; I loved them sincerely, and do love them still." Benefits to the Church: Prevent division (Acts 6), enable gospel growth, and model Christ-like service (Philippians 2:5-8). Are Deaconesses Biblical? Biblical Evidence: The debate centers on 1 Timothy 3:11 and Romans 16:1. Phoebe is called a "deacon" (diakonos) of the church in Cenchreae. "In the same way, the women are to be worthy of respect, not malicious talkers but temperate and trustworthy in everything" (1 Timothy 3:11, NIV). This may refer to deacons' wives or female deacons. "I commend to you our sister Phoebe, a deacon of the church in Cenchreae" (Romans 16:1, NIV). Key Verses: John Piper on women deacons: "Probably yes. There are four observations that incline me to think that this office was held by both men and women. 1. The Greek word for deacon can be masculine or feminine in the same form." Arguments For: Women can serve as deacons since the role is service-oriented, not authoritative (unlike elders). Early church history includes deaconesses for tasks like baptizing women. From the era of John Chrysostom (third-century Constitutions of the Holy Apostles): “For deaconesses were appointed, not to soothe God by chantings or unintelligible murmurs, and spend the rest of their time in idleness; but to perform a public ministry of the Church toward the poor, and to labour with all zeal, assiduity, and diligence, in offices of charity.” John Calvin on including women: "This meant, as one of the church's essential ministries, it had to call men and women to serve in the spiritual office of deacon." Arguments Against: 1 Timothy 3 specifies "husband of one wife" (v. 12), implying men; "women" in v. 11 likely means wives. No explicit "deaconess" term exists, and eldership is male-only.

St. Ignatius of Antioch, Bishop, Martyr (Memorial)

Friends of the Rosary,Today, we honor Ignatius of Antioch, the third bishop of Antioch in Syria, who suffered martyrdom in the Roman Amphitheater around 107, for unambiguously proclaiming the apostolic faith.About the Eucharist, he said, The Eucharist is 'the flesh of Christ' and the 'medicine of immortality.'Related to the immortality of the soul, in today's reading (Luke 12:1-7), Christ Our Lord is revealing to us:"I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body but after that can do no more. I shall show you whom to fear. Be afraid of the one who, after killing, has the power to cast into Gehenna; yes, I tell you, be afraid of that one.Aren't five sparrows sold for two small coins? Yet not one of them has escaped the notice of God. Even the hairs of your head have all been counted. Do not be afraid. You are worth more than many sparrows."Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

St. Ignatius of Antioch, facing martyrdom with unwavering courage, expressed a profound desire to be "ground by the teeth of wild beasts, that I may be found the pure bread of Christ." In this powerful image, he saw suffering not as defeat, but as a sacred offering—his very life becoming a Eucharistic sacrifice. For Ignatius, to die for Christ was not tragedy, but triumph. It was a way to be fully united with the One he loved. His words inspire us to embrace our own trials with faith, knowing that even in pain, we can be transformed into something holy, something that nourishes others with love and purpose. --- Help Spread the Good News --- Father Brian's homilies are shared freely thanks to generous listeners like you.

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOMIn this episode, we finally dive into the writings of the Church Father who "red pilled" me on the Catholic Church while I was still a protestant: St. Ignatius of Antioch. He was ordained by the Apostles, and barely 70 years after Christ's Ascension wrote astoundingly Catholic things about: the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist, apostolic succession, the authority of the priesthood, the Christian altar, the necessity of unity, the greater authority of the Roman Church, and even the very name of the one true Church: the "Catholic Church."

These are the words of a few martyrs as they were being killed for not renouncing their faithLawrence of Rome (258 AD) – When being grilled alive on a gridiron, he reportedly joked:“Turn me over; I'm done on this side.”Ignatius of Antioch (c. 107 AD) – As he was led to the arena to face the lions, he said:“I am God's wheat, and I shall be ground by the teeth of beasts, that I may become pure bread.”And so it is today that any Pastor that concedes that the Bible is changing will be figuratively boied in oil. Your denomination your congregation your family your children your lifelong friends people that you've walked with to the house of God will turn on you like rabid dogs You will be treated with no respect there will be no attempt to try to understand how you could have come to the conclusion that you have And all the while that this is happening You will be selling everything to buy the field which has the pearl of great price So do not be afraid but understand that this is your hour visitation You are being confronted with the Rich Young Ruler principle The Pride of man that he has accumulated enough Doctrine to know who God is When God has made it clear that he is the unknowable god And he consistently colors outside the lines and speaks in prophetic bizarre ways that you purposely can understand Jesus is a stumbling block and a rock of offense And God uses the foolish things of the world to confound the wise The supernatural Bible changes are along the same lines so get over it your Doctrine is terribly wrong you can read the 26th theological arguments of why the Bible can change and be set free Once you're set free you'll be able to consider the evidence And when you consider the evidence you will know without a shadow of a doubt that the Bible is changing but at this point most Christians aren't even willing to look into it and if they do look into it their arms are folded their ears are stopped they have eyes but they cannot see And this video is an announcement that you're running out of time because God is about to unleash this Outreach on the entire body of Christ And all of your donors are going to hear about it and they don't have an agenda like you do and they're going to agree that the Bible's changing and then they're going to come to you and they're going to know that you are either totally incompetent or complicit in a co-conspirator slew foot I don't know which one is worse But if you humble yourself and realize that this is happening and you go public with it then you can salvage something From the Ashes and then you can build a new ministry featuring the power of God You can still have all of your sound Doctrine but you'll also have the fire and it'll be better than everSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-conspiracy-theorist-survival-guide-podcast/donations

Predigt zum 50jährigen Bestehen der Gemeinschaft Christlichen Lebens (GCL) im Bistum Passau

Matt Ehret and Ghost team up with Eric Rice for a deep dive into the shadowy history of the Jesuits and their influence on world power. From their origins in the 1500s under Ignatius of Loyola to their hidden hand in modern geopolitics, the trio unpacks how this religious order became one of the most powerful and secretive forces on Earth. They explore the Jesuits' role in education, banking, and empire-building, connecting historical missions to present-day influence within governments and intelligence networks. With Matt's historical precision, Ghost's strategic lens, and Eric's philosophical perspective, this episode connects centuries of spiritual warfare, political manipulation, and global control, challenging listeners to rethink what they know about the Vatican's most enigmatic order.

Ep. 203 (Part 2 of 2) | In this rich, delightful, and profound conversation, Integral Theory informed Father David McCallum, SJ, currently serving the Catholic Church as executive director of the Program for Discerning Leadership, leads us into a world filled with mission, purpose, and service, foundational to which is the practice of discernment. David describes discernment as the capacity to exercise good judgment, hold complexity, and wait for clarity. This is not only a practice for individuals, he explains, but also a communal one, providing a way for communities to discern and design together the future they want to create—through listening, dialoguing, participating. Discernment is a way of knowing and making sense of reality, David continues, and especially important now in this era of changes and choices to be made.David enlightens us as to the beautiful and far-sighted reforms proposed by the late Pope Francis, who was all for changing the balance of authority and participation in the Church; for people to have direct experience of Presence and the capacity to practice discernment; who also advocated for taking swift action on behalf of our planet, even calling out the part in the Bible that says man has dominion over the Earth. From David's description of “the journey worth making”—surrendering, opening, accepting divine grace and love—to using Otto Scharmer's U Process to help find the courage to change and simplify our lives for the benefit of all, to the Church's relationship with A.I., David provides us with an extraordinarily mind-broadening, motivating, and spiritually fulfilling perspective.

This week, we check in on the CIA and how it’s faring in the age of AI. Oz sits down with David Ignatius, a foreign affairs columnist for The Washington Post to discuss his article, “A Band of Innovators Reimagines the Spy Game for a World with No Cover.” Ignatius has been covering US foreign policy and the CIA for almost four decades and he recently had a realization – that the “future of intelligence was going to be written in zeros and ones.” Which means the intelligence community needs to adapt and adapt quickly. But how does a government agency do this and what happens if it doesn’t? And who is responsible for dragging the bureaucracy-addled CIA into the AI future?

In this episode of the Eyes on Jesus Podcast, Drew and Tim dive into one of the most sobering yet inspiring themes in the history of the church—martyrdom. From the earliest disciples to modern believers still facing persecution today, the stories of those who gave everything for Christ challenge us to examine our own faith. What does it mean to live with boldness instead of fear? And how can we honor the legacy of martyrs in the way we live today?The Testimony of Martyrs Through the AgesDrew and Tim highlight the lives of powerful witnesses like Polycarp, Perpetua and Felicity, Ignatius of Antioch, William Tyndale, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, and Jim Elliott. Each story reminds us of the cost of discipleship and the unshakable hope found in Christ. Polycarp's famous words still echo across time: “Eighty and six years I have served Him, and He has done me no wrong. How can I blaspheme my King who saved me?” These voices form a “cloud of witnesses” that continues to inspire faith today.Martyrdom in the Modern WorldWhile many of us live in places of relative freedom, persecution and martyrdom are still very real in countries like Nigeria, China, and North Korea. Drew and Tim explore how the church often grows strongest in places where faith is tested most. They also reflect on what it looks like to stand boldly in contexts where persecution is more subtle—social, cultural, or ideological.Boldness Over FearOne of the key takeaways from Acts is that the disciples didn't pray for protection—they prayed for boldness. That same spirit is needed now. Whether facing public hostility, workplace pressure, or even the quiet temptation to compromise, believers today are called to live courageously and keep their eyes fixed on Jesus.Living as WitnessesThe stories of martyrs are not just historical records; they are ongoing testimonies that shape how we live as disciples in our own time. Drew and Tim challenge listeners to ask: What kind of legacy are we leaving? Are we living as bold witnesses, or letting fear and comfort dictate our choices?ConclusionThis conversation is both convicting and inspiring. The blood of the martyrs has indeed been the seed of the church, and their faith continues to call us higher. May we embrace boldness, honor their witness, and keep our eyes on Jesus in a world still desperate for His light.Get the most comfortable shirts we've ever worn!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://kingdomandwill.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Use code: EYESONJESUS for 15% off Get all our links in one easy place! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/eyesonjesuspodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Get the Eyes on Jesus 90 Day Discernment Devotional⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://a.co/d/3v8963s⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join our Group on Facebook- Eyes on Jesus podcast community ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/groups/eyesonjesuspodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email feedback, questions or show topic ideas to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠eyesonjesuspodcast@outlook.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠For more information on Drew Barker: Follow Drew on ⁠Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/pastordrewbarker⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Drew's church's website ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://yes.online/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠For more information on Tim Ferrara: ⁠ ⁠ Get all his links in one place- to his social media, all 3 of his books, and more ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/discerning_dad⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
