"The Little Season" refers to a brief period mentioned in the Book of Revelation (Revelation 20:3, 7-8) after Satan is released from his imprisonment for 1,000 years. During this time, he will deceive the nations for a final time before being defeated and cast into the lake of fire. Interpretations vary, with some believing this season is a future event, while others, known as preterists, suggest it has already occurred, possibly tied to the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD. A fringe interpretation, sometimes linked to conspiracy theories, suggests that our current history is a deception orchestrated by Satan during this "Little Season," with ancient architecture being evidence of a past, hidden reign of Christ.  Follow Joel down a Jesuit path to the origins of Preterism the fundamental foundation of the Little Season ideology. He starts with a hermeneutical breakdown of Matthew 16:28 and if it really meant that some of Jesus's disciples would actually see Him during His Second Coming. He then looks at Revelation 1 and several “proof” verses that Little Seasonists say prove that Jesus already came back in AD70 and if there is a deeper meaning to what John was prophesying. He looks at the writings of Josephus and Tacitus and the mysterious arial phenomenon that Little Seasonists claim was Jesus returning in the clouds. Lastly, Joel unravels the mystery of Preterism, the psychological operation created by the Jesuits to infiltrate the Protestant Reformation which setup many offshoots including the newest form of eschatology, The Little Season.

If you want to grow spiritually, should you go to a monastery and withdraw from the world, or look for greater meaning, connection, and purpose in the loud messiness of life?  In other words, do you heal the world by working in it or praying for it? Philosophers and spiritual thinkers have debated it for centuries, but perhaps finding the right balance is the answer. On this episode of How God Works, we'll talk with journalist Sigal Samuel, about the centuries old debate over the spiritual life and how best to pursue it - through contemplation or activity. We'll also talk with Father Greg Boyle, a Jesuit priest and founder of the world's largest gang intervention, rehabilitation and prison reentry programs about how he finds a balance between an inner- and outer-focused life. Sigal Samuel is a Senior Reporter at Vox and Co-Host of Vox's Future Perfect podcast, she also writes the advice column Your Mileage May Vary, which offers a framework for thinking through your ethical dilemmas and philosophical questions.

Today our guest is Dr. Dan Watkins, associate professor of history and co-director of the digital humanities initiative at Baylor University.  Dan's work sits at the crossroads of religion, culture, and politics in early modern Europe. His first book examines how the Jesuits engaged with and responded to the intellectual debates of the French Enlightenment. Dan is currently pursuing two exciting new projects: a digital history study on how missionary writings shaped European views of the wider world, and a monograph on religion and emigration in the borderlands of eastern France during the French Revolution. In addition to his research, Dan is deeply invested in pedagogy and the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, where he explores how we teach history and how students engage with it. We are delighted to have Dr. Watkins on the show to discuss teaching empathy through history, bringing historical documents to life, and gamifying the less-exciting elements of your course.

The Jesuit Border Podcast has just launched its ninth season, and to commemorate the event, we're featuring the first episode of season nine here on AMDG. You'll hear stories, reflections and an interview from hosts Fr. Brian Strassburger, SJ, and Joe Nolla, SJ, of Del Camino Jesuit Border Ministries. Bishop Michael Pham of the Diocese of San Diego is today's guest. Bishop Pham was the first U.S. bishop appointed by Pope Leo XIV. He shares the harrowing story of fleeing Vietnam as a young boy on a small boat that nearly capsized in the sea. Bishop Pham also talks about an experience this summer attending immigration court to walk with migrants. He calls out our immigration enforcement approach that is criminalizing migrants and separating families, when our country should be a place of refuge, as it was for him and his family decades ago. Fr. Brian and Joe open up the new season talking about what it means to find refuge. Brian shares the story of Naomi, a single mom from Honduras with a five-month old son. They were denied refuge in the U.S. when they crossed the border and were rapidly sent back into Mexico. At the local shelter, the women rallied to support this young mother, showing her what it means to provide refuge. Joe shares the story of Marialex, a young girl in Matamoros, who showed how small actions can speak loudly in offering welcome and inclusion.

The episode revolves around understanding how thoroughly and holistically believers and church communities are adhering to the commands of Jesus. The speaker initiates the discussion by posing several reflective questions, emphasizing the potential neglect of specific commands either individually or within church groups. He highlights the Great Commission, which instructs disciples to obey all of Jesus' teachings, not selectively. A significant portion of the talk explores Jeff's sabbatical experiences, including his exploration of different Christian traditions such as the Jesuits, Desert Fathers and Mothers, and other historical church movements. These observations lead him to identify strengths and weaknesses in various church eras, such as the evangelical zeal of the early church and the doctrinal clarity but occasional superficial faith in later periods. Jeff advocates for a balanced approach to following Jesus' commands, cautioning against the common tendency to focus on preferred teachings while ignoring others. He stresses the importance of maintaining a holistic discipleship that includes personal spiritual practices, community life, and mission work. Practical implications for churches and individuals include reading the Gospels continuously, journaling to enhance obedience, focusing on the application of teachings rather than mere accumulation of knowledge, and consistently seeking guidance from the Holy Spirit. Church programming should prioritize biblical exposition of the Gospels and foster a culture of obedience and testimony sharing. The episode concludes with suggestions for churches to evaluate their practices and leadership structures. A collaborative team approach informed by Ephesians 4:11-16 can help ensure a balanced ministry. Churches should develop new metrics to measure success in spiritual growth holistically, rather than simply numerical growth or attendance. Finally, Jeff encourages listeners to stay vigilant about their devotion to Jesus' teachings and praises the potential for varied expressions of obedience across different times, cultures, and communities. He invites feedback and ongoing conversation on achieving comprehensive obedience to Jesus' commands in both individual and church life.

Friday of the 27th Week in Ordinary Time Saint of the Day: St. Francis Borgia, 1510-1572; a member of the Spanish nobility, but when his wife died, he became a Jesuit priest; he had to help the cook, gathering wood for the fire and sweeping the floor, but never complained; the only time he became angry was when anyone treated him with respect as if he was still a Duke; he preached everywhere, and spread the Society of Jesus all over Spain and Portugal; under his guidance, the Jesuits grew to be a very great help to the Church in many lands Office of Readings and Morning Prayer for 10/10/25 Gospel: Luke 11:15-26

In this jaw-dropping episode, Michael Jaco and Leo Zagami unravel the latest spectacle from Rome — where Pope Leo publicly attacked President Trump and his administration, only to follow it with a bizarre “blessing ceremony” over a block of ice alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger. Leo exposes the deep symbolism and hidden messages behind this event, connecting it to the Vatican's long-standing manipulation of politics, religion, and global power structures. Michael adds his intuitive perspective on how these spiritual and political battles intertwine with the worldwide awakening that's now accelerating. From the Jesuit influence and the rise of globalist agendas to the spiritual war for humanity's consciousness, this conversation delivers shocking revelations and grounded wisdom for anyone ready to see beyond the illusion.

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.

Fr. George Drance, SJ, is a great example of the fact that Jesuits can do and be anything. Fr. George is a theatre artist, which, in his case, encompasses acting on the stage, directing, teaching acting classes at Fordham University in New York, and writing and adapting his own shows. He's also the artistic director for the Magis Theatre Company, which he founded. His work takes him all over the world: he has performed and directed in more than 25 countries on five continents. This past summer, Fr. George's work took him to his ancestral homeland: Ukraine. Ukraine, of course, has been facing wartime conditions since 2014, and the full-scale invasion of the country Russia launched in February 2022 has disrupted or destroyed countless lives. In that context, Fr. George visited a former Fordham student of his who is now living in the city of Kyiv and running an experimental theatre company there. Fr. George ran a workshop with Ukrainian actors and was involved in some performances in the city. Host Mike Jordan Laskey asked him to talk about the experience of doing theatre in a war-torn land and why he thinks it's so vital to keep making art in a world that's on fire. It was a powerful conversation about his experiences in Ukraine and the inspiring artists he met there who are bringing beauty within a heartbreaking, enraging situation.

“What does it mean to receive Jesus in Holy Communion? It's like Jesus is giving us a big hug, saying, ‘I love you so much. I want you to be close to me always,'” says Russell Pollitt, S.J., pastor of Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Johannesburg and chaplain to Catholic elementary and middle schools, to the children preparing for their First Communion. Russell uses vivid, everyday examples—birthdays, friends, hugs and gifts—to help children grasp God's particular love for them. His First Communion homily avoids the often abstract sacramental and Eucharistic theology, inviting all in the parish community—children, parents, guardians and catechists—to “imagine Jesus giving you a big hug today” and encounter God's love in the Eucharist. Part of the Preaching for the Sacraments series, in this episode “Preach” host Ricardo da Silva, S.J., talks with Russell about how this accessible approach helps the entire community experience Jesus as a friend. By engaging the congregation as a whole in deepening their faith alongside the children, “we can together form future disciples whose hearts are on fire with the love of Jesus.” 00:00 – Why first communion is really about God's love 01:30 – Meet Father Russell Pollitt, Jesuit priest in Johannesburg 03:39 – How kids see God—and how we can help them see love 04:01 – First communion is for those in need, not the perfect 06:42 – Sacraments are about community, not checking boxes 08:37 – Should you focus on the sacrament, scripture, or the feast? 11:11 – A first communion homily that actually connects with kids and adults 19:53 – Talking directly to kids: why it matters 25:21 – Do we celebrate sacraments or receive them?

Ep. 202 (Part 1 of 2) | In this rich, delightful, and profound conversation, integralist Father David McCallum, SJ, currently serving the Vatican 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. Recorded July 10, 2025.“No secular, material, and empirical path is going to satisfy the longing we have for a transcendent purpose, for meaning, for existential belonging, in the ways that a healthy spirituality can.”Topics & Time Stamps – Part 1Introducing Fr.

On October 4 and 5, the Catholic Church will observe the 111th World Day of Migrants and Refugees. Today's guest, who recently stopped by our studio in Washington, DC, is a perfect guest for the occasion. His name is Michael Petro, SJ, and he's a Jesuit of the American East Coast province who is currently in the regency stage of his formation. Michael's regency has been quite far from the norm, though – he's working in Beirut, Lebanon with Jesuit Refugee Service (JRS). Michael has worn a lot of hats in his time in the country, including setting up and running an emergency shelter for men, women and children who were displaced by the war between Israel and Hezbollah. During a visit home to the U.S., Michael stopped by to share stories from his work in Beirut and to talk about his Jesuit vocation. It's safe to say he never imagined he would be running a temporary emergency shelter in Lebanon when he joined the Jesuits in New York not long after he graduated college. Host Mike Jordan Laskey loved hearing from Michael about the people he has met and why it's so important for the church to keep accompanying and serving migrants and refugees, even and especially when it's not politically popular to do so. We think you'll be moved by Michael's stories and inspired by his faith in action.

The Voynich Manuscript This week is all about the strange Voynich Manuscript. We explored how this mysterious 240-page medieval book, written entirely in an unknown language and filled with bizarre illustrations, has baffled scholars for over a century. From its discovery by rare book dealer Dr. Wilford M. Voynich in 1912 at a Jesuit college near Rome to its current home at Yale University, we traced the manuscript's fascinating journey through the hands of alchemists, occultists, and royalty. The book features drawings of unidentifiable plants, unusual star charts that don't quite match Earth's perspective, and peculiar images of naked women bathing in colored liquids—all accompanied by elegant, flowing text that no one has ever been able to decipher. We discussed the leading theories about the manuscript's origins, from the possibility that it was an elaborate hoax created by medieval forger Edward Kelly to sell to Holy Roman Emperor Rudolph II, to the idea that it's simply a coded language whose key has been lost to time. We also explored the most intriguing theory: that this could be an alien travel journal, documenting unfamiliar plants, star charts from another vantage point, and perhaps even the abduction process involving those mysterious liquid-filled tubes.

Ryan Duns is back on the podcast to talk about his provocative new book exploring horror and theology, and boy does he deliver some counterintuitive insights. He argues that horror is actually the most conservative film genre—and that's precisely why it works so well for theological reflection. Think about it: to be scared, you first have to believe there's something worth protecting. Ryan walks us through how horror films function as underground spaces where transcendence has been displaced and distorted, creating what he calls "frag events" that shatter our comfortable assumptions about reality. From The Purge and mimetic desire to The Black Phone and eucatastrophe, he shows how these films operate as photographic negatives of divine transcendence, revealing both our metaphysical vulnerability and our deep hunger for meaning. We dive into concepts like the "dark transcendent," the porosity of being, and why feeling horror is actually a sign of soul. Plus, Ryan shares stories from his Theology of Horror class—including angry parent emails and a student who ended up joining the Jesuits. If you've ever wondered what a philosophical theologian is doing teaching about chainsaw massacres and demonic possession, this conversation will blow your mind while making you rethink everything about faith, fear, and what it means to be human. Check out the book, Theology of Horror: The Hidden Depths of Popular Films. You can WATCH the conversation on YouTube Ryan G. Duns, SJ, (twitter) is a Jesuit priest and an assistant professor of theology at Marquette University. His locates his work the intersection of philosophy and systematic theology and is interested in regarding theology as practice or “way of life.” He has published on Karl Rahner, Jean-Luc Marion, René Girard, and his most recent work has involved a sustained engagement with William Desmond's metaphysics. His monograph “Spiritual Exercises for a Secular Age: Desmond and the Quest for God” argues that, when read as a form of spiritual exercise (Pierre Hadot), Desmond's philosophy can re-awaken a sense of the Transcendent.

Ian Auzenne and Coach Lou Valdin co-hosted the WWL's weekly Prep Football Roundup live from The Shrine on Airline for a Catholic League showdown between Archbishop Rummel and John Curtis.

They spoke to winning coaches after the games concluded.

We start with the on-going invasion of many Wisconsin communities by energy and water sucking data centers. While profiting Silicon Valley, Wall Street, and Big Utilities these projects threaten to accelerate runaway climate change and spike already unaffordable utility prices. While state and local economic development boosters, including the Evers Administration, throw public money at data centers without considering the massive environmental costs and limited economic impact, a few brave communities are standing up in places such as Menomonie and Caledonia. We need to refocus public policy on addressing the climate crisis, not economical development boondogles that light the planet on fire. We encourage people to attend this Sunday's Climate March at the Capitol in Madison at Noon. Meanwhile Trump, Vance, and their minions rush to politicize the violent attack on ICE office in Dallas before the facts are in, blaming Democratic and left wing truth-telling about the abuses of Trump's immigration crackdown. There is a problem with political incendiary language, that it come from the President, Vice President, and MAGA, not elected progressives and mainline Democrats. We talk about the potential of a government shutdown, and the Trump Regime impact in Wisconsin this week, including Derrick Van Ordin's demand to cut off federal dollars to the City of Eau Claire, Ellsworth, and Mayo Clinic in retaliation for social media posts. Citizen Action Board member and former state Representative Sandy Pasch joins us to warn our listeners about a terrible new bill in Madison that restricts free speech in the name of fighting antisemitism by making legitimate and First Amendement protected cricism of Israel into hate speech. The bill is yet another authoritarian attempt to empower governmet crackdowns against civil society groups and free speech. Sandy calls for our listeners to reach out to their state representative and senators to oppose AB 446, and support alternative legislation that meaningfully addresses antisemitism. Finally, we welcome Chris Gooding, Theology professor and union leader at Marquette University, to update our listeners on the Jesuit university's union busting in the name of God. We discussed how this anti-union strategy spread this month to Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, where the university walked away from negotiations with their workers, prompting outrage on campus and a strike vote.

Father Robert J. Spitzer, S.J., is a Jesuit priest, philosopher, educator, author, and the President of the Magis Center of Reason and Faith. Born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii, he went on to study at Gonzaga University, the Gregorian University in Rome, and the Catholic University of America, where he earned a PhD in philosophy. He later served as President of Gonzaga University, where he became known for blending academic excellence with faith formation. Today, Father Spitzer leads the Magis Center, which produces resources on the intersection of faith, science, and reason, and he continues to write and speak globally on subjects ranging from metaphysics to moral theology to spiritual warfare. In this episode, Brad sits down with Father Spitzer at Christ Cathedral in Garden Grove, California, for a candid conversation about his book Christ vs. Satan in Our Daily Lives and the reality of spiritual battle. Father Spitzer shares formative stories from his upbringing in Hawaii, his Jesuit formation, and the pivotal moments when challenges like vision loss became turning points for deeper faith. He unpacks the eight deadly sins, the tactics of the evil one, and the role of prayer, confession, and the Eucharist in resisting temptation. Along the way, he offers practical wisdom on discernment, the power of gratitude, and why the rosary remains one of the strongest weapons in spiritual life. “To live without thankfulness is the most self-centered way to live.” – Father Spitzer “Lord, you are the just judge. You take care of it.” – Father Spitzer “Nip temptation in the bud early. Don't wait until it grows into something that can destroy you.” – Father Spitzer This Week on The Wow Factor Growing up in Honolulu and how his parents shaped his faith and values Discovering proofs of God's existence in philosophy and science during college How his mother's prayers and wisdom steadied him in seasons of doubt The diagnosis of retinitis pigmentosa and how it reshaped his calling Discernment of spirits: learning to reject the “rhetoric of damaged goods” Why the devil's greatest lie is convincing people he doesn't exist The eight deadly sins, their tentacles in modern life, and how to resist them Practical tools for spiritual resilience: Eucharist, confession, daily prayer, and the rosary Why 90% of the fruit of prayer comes outside of prayer Encouragement for parents: the power of modeling prayer and faith for their children Father Spitzer's Word of Wisdom Bring every temptation and struggle to God. Don't fight it in your own strength. Dependence on Him, daily prayer, and trust in His unconditional love are the surest path to freedom and joy.

In this episode of The Biggest Table, host Andrew Camp engages in a discussion with theologian Paul Schutz about the intersection of food, the table, and the experience of God's love. Paul, who has a background in systematic theology and research on creation in the Christian tradition, talks about his book 'A Theology of Flourishing.' The conversation covers Paul's multicultural upbringing, his journey into theology through ministry and liturgy, and the significance of food and table in spiritual and communal life. They delve into concepts such as radical hospitality, attunement, and listening as foundational steps for fostering individual and collective flourishing. The dialogue also explores how a theology centered on flourishing challenges current social and ecological injustices, emphasizing that true flourishing involves systemic transformation and deep engagement with suffering. Paul and Andrew conclude by discussing the role of food in community building and sharing personal reflections on memorable meals.Paul Schutz Bio:Born and raised in Evansville, IN, Paul Schutz received his B.A. in English from Boston College and his M.A. and Ph.D. in Systematic Theology from Fordham University. After teaching on Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, he served for several years as Director of Worship at St. Mary Catholic Church in Evansville. His time working as a musician and liturgist was his gateway into the study of theology. His research focuses on the meaning and significance of creation in the Christian tradition, with an emphasis on how scientific research might inform religious accounts of humanity's relationship with other creatures. His recent publications apply the theological writings of the Jesuit astrophysicist William Stoeger to questions of gender, race, and interreligious dialogue, as well as prayer, liturgy, and ministry. His book, A Theology of Flourishing—which we'll be discussing—explores the potential of "flourishing" to serve as a starting point and center of gravity for Christian theology and spirituality and a basis for cultivating a robust praxis of ecological and social justice. In his free time, Paul enjoys reading, music, travel, hiking, cooking, baking, and eating. He lives in San Jose, CA, with his partner and dog, Albert.Buy A Theology of FlourishingConnect with PaulThis episode of the Biggest Table is brought to you in part by Wild Goose Coffee.

St. Kevin is a 6th century Irish saint, best known, perhaps, for the monastery he founded at Glendalough, tucked deep into County Wicklow. Beyond the monastic community, Kevin has been immortalized by Irish poet Seamus Heaney in a poem called “St. Kevin and the Blackbird.” It's a poem that speaks of a legend, a peculiar moment of prayer and stillness. Our own communications team member, Eric Clayton, knew very little about St. Kevin until a statue was erected on the campus of his alma mater to honor his late friend and spiritual mentor, the Jesuit priest Jim Bowler. The statue depicted Kevin and his blackbird, and Eric wondered why. Today's episode tracks Eric's own pilgrimage from a Connecticut university library to a cave over an Irish lake. His guide is the pilgrimage expert, Irish Jesuit Fr. Brendan McManus. Brendan is an award-winning author who has penned multiple books on the life-changing pilgrimages he's made, most notably along the Camino de Santiago. Journey with Eric and Brendan as they set out into the spiritual heart of Ireland.

#sspx #suffering #cross #catholic“The two persons in the world whom God loved best were Jesus and Mary, and the advantages which they possessed over all creatures on account of their virtue were that they suffered more than all. No two persons were ever so tried as they. Let us console ourselves then in sorrow, for the more of it we have, the more like shall we be to Jesus and to His Blessed Mother.”By this quotation from a saint, the Jesuit brother St. Alphonsus Rodriguez, we are taught the Catholic spirit in the face of suffering: suffering is the greatest and best way for us to imitate God and His holy Mother.Does this mean that we have to be unhappy our entire lives, if we want to live as good Catholics and become saints? No!The word “suffering” is different from the word “unhappiness”. We have many words to indicate unhappiness, such as “sadness”, “sorrow”, and “depression”, but none of these means the same thing as suffering. What this means is that while suffering can cause unhappiness, it can also be borne without unhappiness. You can suffer and be happy at the same time.You know that each person has a different measure of suffering in his life, but nobody is without suffering in this life. Everyone has suffering but suffering is not a condemnation to unhappiness.What our Catholic faith offers us is the possibility of enduring the sufferings of our life while at the same time being happy. How is this the case?

The screenwriters Brian Gunn and Mark Gunn are cousins, and they grew up in the 1970s and '80s in a big Catholic extended family in St. Louis. The Gunns are an incredibly creative clan that has produced all sorts of actors and writers and directors, including Brian's brother James, who you might know as the director of the most recent “Superman” movie and the “Guardians of the Galaxy” franchise. Brian and Mark are both Jesuit educated twice over, alumni of St. Louis University High School and the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Massachusetts. It was during college that they started performing sketch comedy together, and they both moved to Los Angeles in the '90s to pursue Hollywood dreams. Since then, Brian and Mark have worked together on films and TV shows, including the family adventure movie “Journey 2: The Mysterious Island” starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and a 2019 superhero horror film called “Brightburn” featuring Elizabeth Banks. Their first project that made it big was a movie and series called “2gether,” which debuted on MTV in 2000. It was a hilarious parody of the boy band era of Backstreet Boys and *NSYNC and it was influential on the development of AMDG host Mike Jordan Laskey's sense of humor. The actors playing the boy band became an actual boy band themselves, opening for Britney Spears and hitting the Billboard charts with two different albums. If you are an elder millennial, all we have to say is, “I know my calculus,” and you'll sing back: “You plus me equals us.” Mike asked Brian and Mark about their family and their Jesuit education, how they work together as a writing team, and what it's like to work in the film industry. Mark and Brian also shared some creative tips they've learned in more than a quarter century in the trade. Finally, Mike couldn't let them go without reminiscing about “2gether” and marveling at the fact that 25 years after the movie's debut, the most popular film in the world right now is another movie about a fictional boy band. Though this new one is composed of demons and they're being hunted by a KPop girl group... Anyway, we think you'll enjoy this sneak peek into the lives of Hollywood screenwriters. www.jesuits.org/ www.beajesuit.org/ twitter.com/jesuitnews facebook.com/Jesuits instagram.com/wearethejesuits youtube.com/societyofjesus www.jesuitmedialab.org/

Preterism says prophecy is already fulfilled. Some even claim Jesus returned in 70 A.D. But the Bible says otherwise. In this episode, we expose how a Jesuit scheme from the 1600s twisted prophecy to protect Rome, why it doesn't align with Scripture, and what the Word of God actually says about the Antichrist, the Great Tribulation, and the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. 📱: It's never been easier to understand.

She is patient, joyful and learning. All great things to embody. I sit down with Haley O'Connor for a conversation that's both lively and deeply grounded in faith. This is part one with part two airing next week.We talk about what she's watching these days (Paw Patrol, K-Pop, Somebody Feel Phil) and explore what it means to be a “spicy Christian woman.” For Haley it's living with quiet confidence, holding to her core beliefs, and navigating the very real struggle of people-pleasing which is something many women experience. It's a challenge for her, particularly in situations where she might need to speak up for her beliefs or hasn't fully thought through her commitments. Can you relate?Haley shares openly about her journey of faith and how she sees God in the everyday—through her children, supportive people in her life, and even in life's challenges. Rooted in her Jesuit philosophy of finding God in all things, she reminds us that even in difficult scenarios, there's an opportunity to experience His presence.Together, we unpack the courage it takes to speak up, the grace of flexibility, and the freedom that comes from trusting God in unexpected places.Haley is our first guest for the series, Spicy Christian Women - Becoming All that and a Bag of Chips.Thanks for being part of the UY conversation.The Unabashed You website has a page for each guest of photos, quotes and a blog with embedded audio at unabashedyou.com.

Sometimes a small step in the wrong direction can be magnified by factors such as greed and willful moral blindness. This was the case seventy years before St. Peter Claver was born to a farming family outside of Barcelona, Spain in 1580. King Ferdinand of Spain authorized the purchase of 250 African slaves in Lisbon for his territories in New Spain. One hundred years later, 10,000 African slaves were arriving every year to the New Kingdom of Granada, today known as Columbia. The king's small decision to supposedly help farmers and landowners in New Spain meet their need for laborers allowed the slave trade to grow to epidemic proportions throughout the Americas.  St. Peter's life's work as a Jesuit priest was helping the men and women who arrived sick, exhausted, and maltreated to the port city of Cartagena. He would meet the ships upon their arrival and go down into the holds where the human cargo was packed tightly together. It is estimated that one third of the men and women died in transit. Peter would carry medicine, food, bread, and lemons to those who survived. He attended to their human needs first and then, over time, tried his best to meet their spiritual needs.  Peter also preached the Gospel message to the merchants, sailors, and ship owners. He tried to impress upon them that we are all human beings and that we have a common need to be treated with dignity and respect. When he visited the plantations where the African slaves were working, he would stay with them rather than in the comfortable homes of the landowners. He preached in the city squares, country areas, and was often among the sick in the hospitals. Fellow Jesuit Fr. John Hardon could have been reflecting on the life of Peter Claver when he wrote: “Love is shown more in deeds than in words. Love does not mean that I like doing what I'm doing, love means that I do it, and the doing is your love.”    Over the course of his life, the conservative estimate is that Peter baptized 300,000 people - and he continued his instructions after they were baptized by distributing holy pictures and having translators help him to preach. He heard 5,000 confessions on a yearly basis. It should be no surprise that his last years were filled with ill health. Unable to leave his room, his community assigned an ex-slave to attend to his needs. Unfortunately, this man mistreated Fr. Claver and stole his food. Peter did not complain, seeing his ill treatment as a penance for his sins. When he died on September 8, 1654, word spread quickly. People came from all over the countryside to visit his room, which was soon stripped of everything that might be considered a relic. His life was such a heroic example of the Christian praxis of love and the exercise of human rights that September 9th, the day after Peter's death, is celebrated today in Columbia as Human Rights Day.  St. Peter Claver, friend of the marginalized and oppressed, pray for us.   Blessings, Fr. Kevin MacDonald, C.Ss.R.

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.
