Today we're diving into a major prophecy headline: Pope Leo is continuing Pope Francis's legacy of so-called “openness,” pushing LGBTQ inclusion deeper into the Catholic Church.   Jesuit priest James Martin says the Pope is committed to this agenda—and many believe it's laying the groundwork for the prophesied One World Religion. Revelation warns of a False Prophet who looks like a lamb but speaks like a dragon, and these moves sound eerily familiar.  Add to that Macron's war rhetoric, Jordan's stance against Israel, and the UN's globalist agenda—it all points to the rise of the end-time system.   📱: It's never been easier to understand.

The Jesuits, officially known as the Society of Jesus, are one of the most influential religious orders in the Catholic Church. Founded in 1540 by St. Ignatius of Loyola, they have played a central role in education, missionary work, science, and global history. This video explores who the Jesuits are, their origins, their impact on the Counter-Reformation, and their lasting influence on culture, politics, and spirituality.Find me and my music here:https://linktr.ee/filipholmSupport Let's Talk Religion on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/letstalkreligion Or through a one-time donation: https://paypal.me/talkreligiondonateSources/Recomended Reading:Freidrich, Markus (2023).

There's a group of sisters that I have admired for over 50 years since I was a Jesuit novice, the Little Sisters of The Poor. Today is the day that they honor their foundress, St. Jeanne Jugan. To learn more about this great saint and how she recognized Christ, listen to this reflection from Fr. Kubicki.

We tend to think that reflection upon the Word of God, upon the Work of God, is something solemn, serious, and private. But, sometimes, we should be ready to hear the Word in the hustle and bustle of our lives, in the symposium of eating, drinking and gabbing that is our daily life.About the Speaker: Father William J Grimm is a Maryknoll Missioner of 40 year's experience in Asia-mostly Japan, Hong Kong and Cambodia.For news in and about the Church in Asia, visit www.ucanews.com  For news in and about the Church in Asia, visit www.ucanews.comTo contribute please visit www.ucanews.com/donateOn Twitter Follow Or Connect through DM at : twitter.com/ucanewsTo view Video features please visit https://www.youtube.com/@ucanews

How do you build a church in a land that doesn’t want you? In this episode, we follow the early development of the Catholic Church in the United States—from Maryland’s founding as a Catholic refuge to the challenges of worship in secret and organizing without bishops. At the center of it all is John Carroll, a Jesuit priest who would become the first bishop in American history. Through political suspicion, missionary improvisation, and internal conflict, Carroll and his fellow Catholics carved out space for faith in a revolutionary new republic. #CatholicHistory #JohnCarroll #AmericanCatholics #PapacyPodcast #HistoryPodcast #FoundingEra #ChurchAndState #USHistory #ReligiousFreedomSupport the show:Buy me a coffee! https://buymeacoffee.com/historyofthepapacyPatreon: http://patreon.com/historyofthepapacyBuy me a book: http://bit.ly/40ckJ8EHave questions, comments or feedback?

THANKS TO ANDREW FOR MAKING THE INTRO SONG. (soundcloud.com / andoryukesuta)@andoryukesuta In the early morning hours on November 13, 1974, Ronald DeFeo Jr. murders his entire family with a rifle at their home of 112 Ocean Avenue in Amityville, New York. One year later, middle-class newlyweds George and Kathy Lutz move into the house with Kathy's three children from a prior marriage: Greg, Matt, and Amy. Despite George's irreligiousness, Kathy, a nominal Roman Catholic, requests Jesuit priest Father Frank Delaney to bless the home. Delaney arrives while the family is out boating. Upon entering the house, Delaney is swarmed by flies upstairs and hears a hostile voice ordering him to leave, causing him to flee. The next day, Kathy's aunt Helena, a nun, visits the house but becomes violently ill and leaves abruptly, confounding Kathy. The Lutzes' domestic life begins a sharp decline over the ensuing weeks: George becomes uncharacteristically volatile and abusive, and obsesses over keeping the home warm with firewood, despite Kathy's insistence that it is not cold. George recurrently awakens at 3:15 a.m.—the same time the DeFeos were murdered—while Kathy suffers disturbing nightmares. Before Kathy's brother Jimmy's engagement party one night, $1,500 cash to be paid to the caterer inexplicably goes missing in the house. Meanwhile, Jackie, the babysitter watching Amy for the evening, is locked inside a bedroom closet by an unseen force. Further unexplained incidents occur when one of the two boys suffers a crushed hand when a sash window falls on it, and Amy has an imaginary friend, Jody, who seems to be of a malevolent nature. One night, Kathy glimpses two red, swine-like eyes outside Amy's second-story bedroom window. Delaney makes several attempts to intervene that seem to be thwarted by unusual accidents and occurrences: His phone calls to the home are frequently experienced by Kathy as static noise, and on one occasion his car malfunctions en route to the house, nearly causing a fatal crash. Convinced there are demonic forces at work, Delaney grows frustrated by the lack of support from his superiors in the diocese. Meanwhile, George's land surveying business begins to suffer due to his lack of attendance, concerning his business partner, Jeff. Jeff's wife, Carolyn, who has psychic proclivities, is both repulsed and intrigued by the things she feels when at the house.

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to have back on the show for a third time: Satanic ritual abuse, mind control, Stargate, Freemason, Jesuit, and organized abuse survivor, overcomer and whistleblower, loving mother, founder, content creator, and host of ‘The Quickening Project', faithful servant to the most high, gardener, floral design extraordinaire, singer and songwriter, poetry reader and creative writer: KadayaIn case you missed either of Kadaya's incredible episodes she did here on this show, here is a brief synopsis of her testimony as well as some things we will be talking about today: From infancy, Kadaya endured Illuminati and MONARCH trauma-based mind control programming involving electroshock, drowning, and ritualistic abuse to create dissociative identities. Taken to Masonic lodges, churches, the Vatican, and even a movie theater basement for Stargate programming, her intelligence and spiritual gifts were exploited by Freemasons, Jesuits, and royal bloodlines for dark agendas. Despite a “happy childhood” facade, her hidden alters suffered heinous abuse disguised as legitimate operations.Her escape cost her dearly - betrayal by family, friends, and her husband, who secured a protection order, taking her children, home, and livelihood. Gang-stalked and targeted, she found refuge with a righteous family and Restoration in Christ Ministries, working to deprogram and integrate memories. Despite losing her children to a corrupt system, Kadaya fights for their freedom and exposes systemic abuse.Through The Quickening Project on Spotify, YouTube, and Instagram, Kadaya shares 444 Hz worship music, offering survivors healing. A gardener, floral designer, singer, songwriter, and poet, she transforms pain into anthems, exposing trafficking networks in churches, pizza chains, and amusement parks. Her upcoming book and affidavit aim to reveal the cult's secrets, seeking justice and salvation.Kadaya's courage is a clarion call: you are not alone, and your pain is not your identity. An absolute warrioress and passionate purveyor of truth, she invites all to join her crusade for a world where no child is enslaved, and love triumphs over evil. Kadaya's journey is a radiant melody of healing, redemption, and restoration, an unyielding flame of hope that pierces through the darkest shadows, inspiring all to rise and reclaim the light.DONATE TO KADAYA'S GOFUNDME: https://gofund.me/cb63137dCONNECT WITH KADAYA:-YouTube: @thequickeningproject - https://www.youtube.com/@thequickeningproject-Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6OmNqqtVj3GC91wUqdHAgo?si=KEgkSw9sSUGUtIHheuY3Hg&nd=1&dlsi=0fc9bed697ac4cef-IG: https://www.instagram.com/thequickeningproject/CONNECT WITH THE IMAGINATION: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@imaginationpodcastofficialSubstack: https://emmakatherine.substack.com/BUY ME A COFFEE: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/theimaginationAll links: https://direct.me/theimaginationpodcastRIFE TECHNOLOGIES:https://realSupport the show

In this teaching George explores the underrated spiritual value of lightheartedness. Far from being shallow or unserious, lightheartedness is a sign of joy, resilience, and trust in God. Scripture, psychology, and even medicine remind us that laughter heals, strengthens, and connects us. When we recover a lighthearted spirit, we rediscover what it means to live fully, truly, and holy.SLIDES GEORGE READ IN OUR GATHERING“A lighthearted spirit is an essential element of a healthy spiritual life and a healthy life in general. When we lose sight of this serious truth, we cease to live life fully, truly, and wholly. Indeed we fail to be holy.”  - James Martin, Jesuit priest“A good laugh is a sign of love. It may be said to give us a glimpse of, or a first lesson in, the love that God bears for everyone of us.” - Karl Rahner

Today in Politics on Trial David tells the tale of the Dreyfus Affair that split France down the middle at the turn of the last century and revealed the grip of a whole host of conspiracy theories. Across a series of courts martial, libel trials, treason trials and parliamentary commissions, the story of a letter found in a wastebin turned into a saga about who really controlled the country. Was it the Jews? The Jesuits? The Freemasons? The army? The Germans? Or nobody at all? Why did Alfred Dreyfus find himself at the centre of it all? And what does all this madness tell us about the paranoid state of American politics today? Tickets are available now for our autumn film season at the Regent Street Cinema in London, starting on 5th September with a screening of Alfred Hitchcock's Rope followed by a live recording of PPF with special guests Nicci Gerrard and Sean French, aka the best-selling husband-and-wife crime-writing duo Nicci French.

This week on the show is Dylan Weniger.Dylan is a graduated senior from Sherwood High School in Oregon and will be running for Gonzaga under Pat Tyson this fall.Dylan is the most underrated runners in the Pacific Northwest. This man flies under the radar like no other. Yet somehow, he is a 4:06 miler, he ran 8:14 for 3K, and is a 2x Oregon 6A State Champ (1500m & 3K).How can a two-time state champ fly under the radar?Dylan flies under the radar partially because he only has come on as a dominating high schooler in Oregon late in his career. As you will learn today, Dylan had the worst luck (at least that I have ever heard of) in a postseason during his senior cross season, where he pulled his oblique in a fall at Districts, got sick the next week, right before State. And then, NXR… it's a crazy story. You will be shocked to listen to it today.Today, Dylan and I chat all about his thoughts of his narrative of flying under the radar, what it means for him to leave Oregon and continue his career is Spokane, developing under Coach Tyson at Gonzaga. We also discuss Dylan's stunning and memorable track season, where he went from bombing the Oregon Relays 2-mile, to finishing THIRD at the Jesuit mile as the LAST SEED.Dylan and I also discuss the lowest point of career in that aforementioned senior cross-country season, and the road to redemption, completing the double in the 1500 and 3K at the State meet.There's a lot of athletes who let bad luck and misfortune become the narrative that defines their career. But to learn about the tenacity, resilience, and quick, yet powerful mental shifts that Dylan is able to employ, it's impressive, to say the least. I don't want to give too many spoilers, but this was a good one. Lots to learn from Mr. Underdog himself.Please consider leaving a follow and a five-star review on Apple Podcasts and Spotify!I hope you enjoy this episode of The Sunday Shakeout!

"Think of yourself in a concert hall listening to the strains of the sweetest music when you suddenly remember that you forgot to lock your car. You are anxious about the car, you cannot walk out of the hall, and you cannot enjoy the music. There you have a perfect image of life as it is lived by most human beings." There, Jesuit priest Anthony de Mello reminds us to focus on the magic in front of us. What are you doing to switch off, and if you cannot do so, how can you do it? That's why we're looking at this week.  You can subscribe to this podcast on:  Podbean | Apple Podcasts | Stitcher | Spotify | TUNEIN   Links: Email Me | Twitter | Facebook | Website | Linkedin The Time-Based Productivity Course Get Your Copy Of Your Time, Your Way: Time Well Managed, Life Well Lived The Time Sector System 5th Year Anniversary The Working With… Weekly Newsletter Carl Pullein Learning Centre Carl's YouTube Channel Carl Pullein Coaching Programmes Subscribe to my Substack  The Working With… Podcast Previous episodes page   Script | 381 Hello, and welcome to episode 381 of the Your Time, Your Way Podcast. A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development, and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show.  How often do you completely switch yourself off from tasks, projects, emails and messages?  And not just professional emails and messages and tasks, it includes all the WhatsApp messages from friends, strangers and the home projects you promised yourself that you would do this weekend, but never did?  It seems we've found ourselves caught in the to-do trap. Where the only thing on your mind is all the things you've listed somewhere that you think you must do.  It's a horrible existence. As soon as we sit down to relax, our phone reminds us there's more to do. More emails and messages come in, task manager reminders pop up on the screen with a bing telling us we're supposed to call this person or that one.  And given that we now carry our phones around with us everywhere we go, it's as if the phone no longer serves us, but we serve it: jumping to its every whim and beep.  The problem here is that it's not something you suddenly start doing. It's a gradual creep. It begins with waiting for your daughter to text you the time her train arrives at the railway station, to suddenly worrying about whether a customer or your boss sent you last minute Teams message before the end of your work day. You'e got to check right?  And before long, you feel intensely uncomfortable if your phone isn't in your hand or near you. It's then when you have gone beyond experiencing a healthy relationship with your digital devices. It's time to unravel all those now ingrained impulses.  And that's where this week's question comes in. And that means it's time for me to hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice for this week's question.  This week's question comes from Maggie. Maggie asks, hi Carl I see all these productivity YouTube videos, and listen to a lot of podcasts, but very few of them ever talk about how to switch off at the end of the day and relax. This is something I am really struggling at the moment with.  Hi Maggie, thank you for your question.  You're right, I rarely see videos or hear podcasts talking about switching off and relaxing. I do sometimes hear people saying to stop and relax, but not how to do it.  As I mentioned a moment a go, this is not something we just stop doing. It creeps up on you. One moment you're a child without any digital devices, being curious, running around, trying new hobbies then falling asleep to suddenly being held hostage by task lists, projects and long lists of thing you think you should do.  Not to mention the anxiety of responding quickly enough to a friend's text message or your boss's email.  If you think about it, while we seem to have adapted well to this new phenomenon, and appear to just accept this as the way of life, it's really a horrible existence.  Last week, I mentioned that I had embarked on a 13 hour autobiographical TV series on Lord Louis Mountbatten.  The series was recorded in and around 1969, so was shot before the dawn of home computers.  What I noticed was how people in those pre-home computer days relaxed. There were family board games, book reading and going out for walks and having picnics by the river.  Because the only way you could be contacted was via a letter, telegram or land line phone, once you left the house you were free. And “free” in a real sense. If you were to take a walk by the river or pond or lake, you could fully engage with your surroundings and the people you were with.  And family meals were important.  The aristocracy in the UK would dress for dinner, and even as we went into the post-war years, there would be a ritual of adults and children washing their hands before sitting down to dinner.  I rarely see that with people today. I should point out that it's still a good practice to do—you know, washing your hands before eating your meals.  Currently, I am reading the enormous series of books by historian Dominic Sandbrook, the co host of the excellent podcast The Rest is History.  Sandbrook begins this series of books in 1950s UK and I am currently up to 1970, having just finished reading his excellent book Mad As Hell: The Crisis of the 1970s and the Rise of The Populist Right, a book about how US culture changed in the 1970s.  The books have chapters on how families lived and the activities they did in their spare time and as I was reading these chapters I felt a sadness that many of these activities seem to have disappeared.  For instance, in the UK, there was in almost every town and village a working mens club. Yes, today that would be considered sexist, but when these clubs started they were established for the men who worked down the mines or in the factories.  One of the clubs I used to go to would have a guest act on every Sunday night. Sometimes the act was a musician other times it might be a comedian. These clubs would be full of husbands and wives having a drink, playing bingo between the act's sessions.  It was a wonderful evening. I remember never once worrying about work, or even talking about work. It was families talking about where they were going on holiday, playing bingo and watching the acts.  I never experienced what we called in the UK “Sunday night blues”—that depressing feeling of knowing you had to go back to work tomorrow.  I only ever experienced that when I stopped going to the club on a Sunday and instead sitting at home watching TV.  Somehow, we've sacrificed human activities—going out with friends and family three or four times a week—to sitting on sofas watching TV or scrolling through endless feeds in social media. Often feeling jealous of the fake lives people put on there.  And certainly not engaging with other human beings in the same room as you.  And the word “Hobby” seems to have become a quaint old-fashioned word. I mean, who's got time for hobbies today?  And that to me is where people need to start. Have a hobby that does not involve a digital tool.  One of my rediscovered hobbies is collecting books. Real books. I've always enjoyed reading. It's been a big part of my life.  I remember before I got an iPad in January 2011, I would spend weeks deciding which book to take with me on the plane when I travelled. It became an annual ritual. A week or two before I was due to fly I would spend a Saturday afternoon at the bookstore in the local shopping centre looking for something I could read while I was on holiday.  After January 2011, I no longer went to a bookstore. I downloaded books from Apple Books or Amazon. Accidentally, something I had found immensely pleasurable—spending an afternoon wandering around a bookstore, to simply hearing about a book, finding it on a digital bookstore and buying it.  The pleasure of aimlessly wandering around a bookstore was ripped away from me for the sake of convenience.  I can fully understand why the sales of vinyl records and record players have exploded in recent years. The lack of convenience and a limited record collection makes listening to music a genuine pleasure.  Those of a certain age may remember creating something called a “Mix tape”. This was where you recorded from a hi-fi system records to a tape cassette that you could play on a cassette walkman or in the car when going on a long journey.  There was was something deeply pleasurable in make those tapes. I used to do this when going on family holidays. It didn't require a lot of brain power. Just looking through your records (and later CDs) for songs and then recording them, in real time, to a cassette.  You had to sit and listen the whole song before pressing pause on the tape and choosing the next song. Completely inconvenient by today's standards, but that wasn't the point. It was relaxing, enjoyable and there was a sense of pride when finished of a job well done.  And that's where I think we should be looking for activities that help us to switch off at the end of the day or at weekends. Activities that take us away from the digital noise. For example, this year, I've made it a habit to spend a minimum of thirty minutes reading a real book after I finish my evening coaching calls.  I close down my office, grab the book I am currently reading, and go through to the living room, settle down on the sofa with the book and read. While I will read for at least thirty minutes, I often find myself still reading after an hour. During that time, it's just me and little Louis lying next to me.  It's quiet and incredibly relaxing.  Another “hobby” I began this spring was to have a bedding box on the terrace outside my office. In this box I've been growing flowers. It needs watering and the occasional weed needs pulling out. This had led me to want to add more flower boxes for next year.  I've been sketching out on paper ideas of where I'll put these boxes and what flowers I could grow in them. I've even considered growing my own vegetables too.  All non-tech hobbies that have brought some real enjoyment with them.  Other activities you may wish to consider are knitting and needlework. I've remember teaching myself to sow buttons onto shirts and jackets—great fun but can be equally frustrating.  Water colour painting. There's an initial cost in paints and paint books, but again great fun when you get going. This is a particularly good hobby if you like to get out into the countryside.  Winston Churchill used painting as a way to destress at weekends and on holidays.  While I'm not a big fan doing digital detoxes or restricting use of digital tools, that's just a waste of time because you end up finding excuses to check your digital devices.  What I have found, though, is if you have a hobby or activity that is non-digital, you lose the temptation to “check” for messages and notifications. You become engrossed in the activity you engaged in.  Perhaps you could have a Saturday or Sunday morning family walk. Give it some added interest by including some bird spotting or trying to find new routes around the park or woods.  When to comes to switching off, look for activities that don't involve phones or computers. Puzzles are good, learning to detail a car (my current hobby) or some gardening—which can large or small.  I hope that has helped, Maggie. Try to use things to switch off that do not involve a screen and you'll find yourself relaxing and rediscover some lost pleasures in life.  Thank you for your question and thank you to you too for listening.

"The writer has to have patience, the perseverance to just sit there alone and grind it out. And if that's not worth doing," Leonard said, "then he doesn't want to write." Leonard wanted to write from a young age, and write he did, first producing western stories and western novels before moving toward the crime novels that made his reputation. His is the career of a working writer the likes we don't see much of anymore. About COOLER THAN COOL, Pulitzer Prize winner Dave Barry writes that "If you love Elmore Leonard-and who doesn't?-you'll love this fascinating, richly detailed account of how one of our greatest storytellers lived his life and learned his craft."Over the course of his sixty-year career, Elmore Leonard published forty-five novels that had enduring appeal to readers around the world. Revered by other writers such as Martin Amis, Margaret Atwood, Raymond Carver, and Stephen King, his books were innovative in their blending of a Hemingway-inspired noirish minimalism and masterful use of dialogue over exposition-a direct evolution spurred by his years as a screenwriter.When C. M. Kushins was fifteen he worked up his courage and wrote a fan letter to Elmore and included one of his own short stories. Elmore proofread it and wrote an encouraging letter back. Years later, Kushins finally got a short story published and Elmore sent him a congratulatory note. When he first started thinking about writing this book, Kushins went nosing around the University of South Carolina archives-and found his own letters going back to when he was fifteen. Elmore had saved all their correspondence. It was this story that helped him get the Leonard family on board with the book. Indeed, the Leonard family has fully participated, contributing original interviews, additional personal correspondence, exclusive photographs, as well as access to Leonard's unfinished final novel. The biography also includes unpublished, loose memoir excerpts. These are included here for the first time to illuminate key passages of importance throughout Leonard's life in his own words.Leonard's fiction contained many layers, and at the heart of his work were progressive themes, stemming from his years as a student of the Jesuit religious order, his personal beliefs in social justice, and his successful battle over alcoholism. He drew inspiration from greats like Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett, but the true motivation and brilliance behind his crime writing was the ongoing class struggle to achieve the American Dream-often seen through the eyes of law enforcement officers and the criminals they vowed to apprehend.COOLER THAN COOL is not just a biography for fans of Leonard's fiction. His is work was also the source material for many movies including 3:10 to Yuma, Hombre, Jackie Brown, Get Shorty, Out of Sight-as well as the TV series Justified-and influenced American filmmaking, especially the western and crime genres.Definitive and revealing, COOLER THAN COOL shows Leonard emerging as one of the last writers of the "pulp fiction" era of midcentury America, to ultimately become one of the most successful storytellers of the twentieth century, whose influence continues to have far-reaching effects on both contemporary crime fiction and American filmmaking.One more thing: 2025 also marks Elmore Leonard's centennial. In September, Mariner Books will bring a never-published novella by the author, Picket Line, with an introduction by Kushins, timed to Leonard's October birthday.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Father Jack Bentz, SJ, is a Jesuit priest who works in campus ministry at Gonzaga University in Spokane, Washington. He also has a new podcast called “Catholics in Ordinary Time,” which is just an awesome title. The podcast was inspired in large part by his work during the Synod on Synodality at Blessed Sacrament Parish in Hollywood, where he served before moving to Spokane. The parish conducted a whole bunch of listening sessions, just as thousands of parishes around the country did, and Fr. Jack liked that approach. So his new podcast is centered on conversations with all different sorts of Catholics, with him serving as the interviewer and listener as his guests share their stories of faith. Host Mike Jordan Laskey really likes the idea behind his show, because while there are so many different Catholic podcasts out there hosted by members of the clergy, podcasting priests are usually in the position of explainer, apologist or teacher. There's certainly a place for those types of shows, but in this flipped format, Fr. Jack models how a synodal church is a listening church. Fr. Jack and Miked talked about the things Fr. Jack has learned about today's young adults through his work at Gonzaga and at Blessed Sacrament, not to mention his decades of ministry in settings like theatre and other university campus ministry locations. Fr. Jack also shared a bit about his own vocation story, and how a kid growing up on a cattle ranch in rural Oregon came to be a Jesuit.

In this episode of Quakers Today, we consider the Bible. Co-host Peterson Toscano (he/him) speaks with Jesuit priest and best-selling author Father James Martin about the story of Lazarus and what it means to live a resurrected life in today's world. From a powerful visit to Lazarus's tomb in Palestinian territory to reflections on freedom and healing, Father Martin brings spiritual and historical depth to a story often overlooked. We also hear from Ollie, a British Quaker and creator of the popular YouTube channel Quake It Up. In conversation with Peterson, Ollie explores the role of the Bible in liberal Quakerism, what happens when scripture is weaponized, and how we can find spiritual grounding beyond the written word. This episode delves into the complications and possibilities of engaging with sacred texts, especially for those who have felt harmed by them. It also celebrates the boldness of Mary and Martha in the Gospels, and the courage it takes to step outside of cultural norms in pursuit of truth. Featured Guests Fr.

Full Text of ReadingsMemorial of Saint Alphonsus Liguori, Bishop and Doctor of the Church Lectionary: 405The Saint of the day is Saint Alphonsus LiguoriSaint Alphonsus Liguori’s Story Moral theology, Vatican II said, should be more thoroughly nourished by Scripture, and show the nobility of the Christian vocation of the faithful and their obligation to bring forth fruit in charity for the life of the world. Alphonsus, declared patron of moral theologians by Pius XII in 1950, would rejoice in that statement. In his day, Alphonsus fought for the liberation of moral theology from the rigidity of Jansenism. His moral theology, which went through 60 editions in the century following him, concentrated on the practical and concrete problems of pastors and confessors. If a certain legalism and minimalism crept into moral theology, it should not be attributed to this model of moderation and gentleness. At the University of Naples, Alphonsus received a doctorate in both canon and civil law by acclamation, at the age of 16, but he soon gave up the practice of law for apostolic activity. He was ordained a priest, and concentrated his pastoral efforts on popular parish missions, hearing confessions, and forming Christian groups. He founded the Redemptorist congregation in 1732. It was an association of priests and brothers living a common life, dedicated to the imitation of Christ, and working mainly in popular missions for peasants in rural areas. Almost as an omen of what was to come later, he found himself deserted after a while by all his original companions except one lay brother. But the congregation managed to survive and was formally approved 17 years later, though its troubles were not over. Alphonsus' great pastoral reforms were in the pulpit and confessional—replacing the pompous oratory of the time with simplicity, and the rigorism of Jansenism with kindness. His great fame as a writer has somewhat eclipsed the fact that for 26 years he traveled up and down the Kingdom of Naples preaching popular missions. He was made bishop at age 66 after trying to reject the honor, and at once instituted a thorough reform of his diocese. His greatest sorrow came toward the end of his life. The Redemptorists, precariously continuing after the suppression of the Jesuits in 1773, had difficulty in getting their Rule approved by the Kingdom of Naples. Alphonsus acceded to the condition that they possess no property in common, but with the connivance of a high Redemptorist official, a royal official changed the Rule substantially. Alphonsus, old, crippled and with very bad sight, signed the document, unaware that he had been betrayed. The Redemptorists in the Papal States then put themselves under the pope, who withdrew those in Naples from the jurisdiction of Alphonsus. It was only after his death that the branches were united. At 71, Alphonsus was afflicted with rheumatic pains which left incurable bending of his neck. Until it was straightened a little, the pressure of his chin caused a raw wound on his chest. He suffered a final 18 months of “dark night” scruples, fears, temptations against every article of faith and every virtue, interspersed with intervals of light and relief, when ecstasies were frequent. Alphonsus is best known for his moral theology, but he also wrote well in the field of spiritual and dogmatic theology. His Glories of Mary is one of the great works on that subject, and his book Visits to the Blessed Sacrament went through 40 editions in his lifetime, greatly influencing the practice of this devotion in the Church. Reflection Saint Alphonsus was known above all as a practical man who dealt in the concrete rather than the abstract. His life is indeed a practical model for the everyday Christian who has difficulty recognizing the dignity of Christian life amid the swirl of problems, pain, misunderstanding and failure. Alphonsus suffered all these things. He is a saint because he was able to maintain an intimate sense of the presence of the suffering Christ through it all.

Full Text of ReadingsMemorial of Saint Ignatius of Loyola, Priest Lectionary: 404The Saint of the day is Saint Ignatius of LoyolaSaint Ignatius of Loyola's Story The founder of the Jesuits was on his way to military fame and fortune when a cannon ball shattered his leg. Because there were no books of romance on hand during his convalescence, Ignatius whiled away the time reading a life of Christ and lives of the saints. His conscience was deeply touched, and a long, painful turning to Christ began. Having seen the Mother of God in a vision, he made a pilgrimage to her shrine at Montserrat near Barcelona. He remained for almost a year at nearby Manresa, sometimes with the Dominicans, sometimes in a pauper's hospice, often in a cave in the hills praying. After a period of great peace of mind, he went through a harrowing trial of scruples. There was no comfort in anything—prayer, fasting, sacraments, penance. At length, his peace of mind returned. It was during this year of conversion that Ignatius began to write down material that later became his greatest work, the Spiritual Exercises. He finally achieved his purpose of going to the Holy Land, but could not remain, as he planned, because of the hostility of the Turks. Ignatius spent the next 11 years in various European universities, studying with great difficulty, beginning almost as a child. Like many others, his orthodoxy was questioned; Ignatius was twice jailed for brief periods. In 1534, at the age of 43, he and six others—one of whom was Saint Francis Xavier—vowed to live in poverty and chastity and to go to the Holy Land. If this became impossible, they vowed to offer themselves to the apostolic service of the pope. The latter became the only choice. Four years later Ignatius made the association permanent. The new Society of Jesus was approved by Pope Paul III, and Ignatius was elected to serve as the first general. When companions were sent on various missions by the pope, Ignatius remained in Rome, consolidating the new venture, but still finding time to found homes for orphans, catechumens, and penitents. He founded the Roman College, intended to be the model of all other colleges of the Society. Ignatius was a true mystic. He centered his spiritual life on the essential foundations of Christianity—the Trinity, Christ, the Eucharist. His spirituality is expressed in the Jesuit motto, Ad majorem Dei gloriam—“for the greater glory of God.” In his concept, obedience was to be the prominent virtue, to assure the effectiveness and mobility of his men. All activity was to be guided by a true love of the Church and unconditional obedience to the Holy Father, for which reason all professed members took a fourth vow to go wherever the pope should send them for the salvation of souls. Reflection Luther nailed his theses to the church door at Wittenberg in 1517. Seventeen years later, Ignatius of Loyola founded the Society that was to play so prominent a part in the Catholic Reformation. He was an implacable foe of Protestantism. Yet the seeds of ecumenism may be found in his words: “Great care must be taken to show forth orthodox truth in such a way that if any heretics happen to be present they may have an example of charity and Christian moderation. No hard words should be used nor any sort of contempt for their errors be shown.” One of the greatest ecumenists was the 20th-century German Jesuit, Cardinal Augustin Bea.

Friends of the Rosary,Today, July 31, is the Memorial of St. Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556).With nine companions—Francis Xavier, among them—Ignatius formed the Jesuits, a society for the service of Jesus, that embarked on missionary activities, the establishment of colleges and universities, and counter-Reformation preaching.The motto of the Company of Jesus: Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam—“For the greater glory of God.”Born in the Kingdom of Navarre, in Spain, after a wayward youth, Ignatius converted in his early thirties. He sought penance and solitude in Manresa, Spain, near Barcelona, where he began to compose his Spiritual Exercises.While he was convalescing, after a cannonball fractured his left leg at the siege of Pamplona, Ignatius read about Christ and His saints and thus turned wholly to God. He then equipped himself for Christ's service by acquiring a good classical and theological education.The members of the Society of Jesus became the shock troops of the Church in the battle against the spread of Protestantism in Europe, as well as one of the greatest foreign mission organizations that the world has known.Ignatius ever desired to suffer far more for the glory of his Lord.According to several pontiffs, God raised up Ignatius and the Society founded by him to oppose Luther and the heretics of his time.He devoted himself unweariedly to gaining souls for God. His power over the demons was wonderful. St. Philip Neri and others saw his countenance shining with heavenly light.He was celebrated for miracles and for his great services to the Church.Pius XI, in response to the prayers of the episcopate, declared him the heavenly patron of all Spiritual Exercises.Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!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!

Thursday of the 17th Week in Ordinary Time Memorial of St. Ignatius of Loyola, 1491-1556; severely injured his leg in a war injury, and while convalescing read a life of Christ and lives of the saints, and was deeply touched; he began a conversion, during which he began writing the material which later became "The Spiritual Exercises"; in 1534 Ignatius and six others vowed to live in poverty and chastity and go to the Holy Land, if possible, or to submit themselves to the apostolic service of the pope; the Society of Jesus was approved by Pope Paul III, and Ignatius became its first general; his spirituality is expressed in the Jesuit motto, "for the greater glory of God" Office of Readings and Morning Prayer for 7/31/25 Gospel: Matthew 13:47-53

In honor of the Feast of St. Ignatius of Loyola on July 31, we're taking a green look at his Spiritual Exercises. When today's host, Eric Clayton, was in college, he stumbled upon a book entitled “The Eucharist and Social Justice.” It's a small volume and was easily tucked into his bag when he went to Nicaragua on a service immersion trip. He remembers paging through that book with an excitement that rarely appeared when reading other theology texts. But something about this one, this invitation to consider how the source and summit of our Catholic faith was in fact a radical call to justice — that was formative. It's what he was looking for as an undergraduate who was very much searching for answers when it came to faith and God and the church. The author of that little book is Sr. Margaret Scott. She's a Handmaid of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and a renowned spiritual director and retreat giver. She's fluent in numerous languages, which has led her into ministries that have taken her around the world. She has a lived experience of the universal church and the needs and joys of God's people in many, many places. She has brought those insights into the classroom; she taught theology at Philly's own Jesuit university, St. Joe's. But most importantly for today, she's brought that same global perspective, that tender pastoral care, to a new book all about Ignatian spirituality and ecological conversion. It's called “Ignatius Was Green: Ecological Dimensions of the Spiritual Exercises” and it's available now from Paulist Press. Like “The Eucharist and Social Justice,” this is a small, approachable volume. And for those of us engaged in the ministry of the Exercises, it's quite helpful. Sr. Margaret invites us to deepen our own encounter with Christ through the Exercises by paying careful attention to those places in Ignatius' text that invite deeper ecological reflection.
