Communists across history have tried their best to destroy the Catholic Church, but no power has ever taken down the Catholic Church — despite violence, forced lockdowns, mainstream media hijacking, fake news, and more.

The Diary of Saint Gemma, gives me great pause for reflection. I always admire young saints ability to be so certain, or rather to listen so obediently to God's call to them from a young age. Saint Gemma Galliani's life is no exception. Her diary has all the rantings of a young Catholic, living the struggle of attempting to live in perfect love and union with Christ. To choose to leave the worldly life and enter into a deep spiritual life, full of its pain and grace, heartbreak and loneliness, longing and desire for heaven and sanctity. It is striking and inspiring to read about the intimate conversations she has with Jesus, or lady of sorrows and her Guardian Angel. Sometimes i even felt a bit too close while reading this book, almost a voyeur into what the saints must endure to purge themselves of sin while still lining in a human body and striving for the beatific vision immediately after this life ends. In the case of Saint Gemma, who died at just 25 years of age, we really get a sense of how much the stigmatist wanted to enter into Christs sufferings, to gladly wear and feel the pain of his crown of thorns and write about the experiences at the request of her spiritual director. In her diary we have a raw an honest document of what it took for her to become a saint. Here to talk about the book is Kristen van Uden.

KRISTEN VAN UDEN, a spokesperson for Sophia Institute Press, is currently writing a book about the persecution of Catholics under Communism. About THE ANTICHRIST: THE FINAL CAMPAIGN AGAINST THE SAVIOR. FR. VINCETN MICELI (Sophia Institute Press) Fiction and nonfiction books and movies speculate about end-of-the-world scenarios, proposing a rogue's gallery of corrupt leaders and a host of chilling, apocalyptic theories. Disillusioned by the crippled state of our Church and our world, people are increasingly placing faith in prophecies that claim to know details and dates about upcoming chastisements. Will the “final confrontation” include unprecedented bloodshed or the subtle trickery of seduction (or both)? Have the current intellectual, political, and sexual “liberation” movements — including within the Church — created the platform required for the Antichrist to emerge? In an age of diabolical disorientation, this captivating book provides much-needed clarity on relevant biblical prophecies — from Old Testament times to St. Paul and Revelation — and writings of early Church Fathers and Doctors of the Church, including Sts. Augustine, Gregory the Great, Jerome, and Thomas Aquinas. This prescient book will enlighten you on whether there is more than one Antichrist, the types of leaders and societies that Cardinal Newman believed would be forerunners of the Antichrist, and how long the Antichrist will reign. You will also explore the Church's teaching on millenarianism and the prospect that the reign of the Antichrist is drawing closer. A valuable and timely resource, this book will aid you in understanding views on the Antichrist through history and how they are linked to predictions about the end of the world, the Second Coming of Christ, the role of false prophets, and the devices the evil one uses to cultivate apostasy. You will also discover: What the persecution of the Antichrist will entail and events foretelling his coming How to avoid being deceived by the Antichrist Our Lady's role in the End Times The significance of sacrilege, idolatry, and the “abomination of desolation” The consequences of attacks on the Holy Eucharist, the Sacred Liturgy, and the Blessed Mother The correlation (if any) between Rome and the Antichrist How contemporary heresies, occultism, and immorality plant the seeds for evil This book will empower and encourage you to hold fast to your beliefs, bear witness to the truth, and defend against false teachings that subvert the fortitude of the faithful. https://www.sophiainstitute.com/products/item/the-antichrist --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/john-aidan-byrne0/support

Peace be with you. That is the name of the book and the sentiment of our show today here on The Way is Love Podcast. Who isn't searching for peace daily in these times? It seems that less and less of what we are presented with involves the peace and tenderness of heart that humanity needs in the times we are living through. The book "Peace be with you" by Father Narcisco Irala is just what one might be looking for. If you like manuals and books that give you concrete instructions on helping yourself and other people then revisit this volume originally published in 1969. But we have evolved so much since then you might be saying? Reading through this volume I really felt a call back to action. I like a book that has a pragmatic approach and a Formula for Happiness at its onset. It's refreshing to read a book that has quotes like this one. “Every morning,” says the Doctor of Gentleness, St. Francis de Sales, “prepare your soul for a tranquil day.” Peace be with you is published by Sophia Press and our guest is Kirsten Van Uden.

There are three Lenten practices that Christ and the Church invite us to really lean into - prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. I don't know about you, but I usually fall into two traps when it comes to fasting. Either I decide that this Lent is going to be the most challenging Lent for me ever - like the Lent where Joseph had to talk me out of fasting on just bread and water for the full forty days. OR I go into the other ditch and think that I actually don't need to fast at all since my life as a mom is already sacrificial enough (hello, kids waking up at 3am). There is a virtuous middle when it comes to fasting and that's what we're here to talk about today. Today, I'm sitting down with Kristen Van Uden. Kristin works at Sophia Institute Press and in this episode, we're talking about a new book that Sophia just released called “The Lenten Cookbook.” But we're not just talking recipes (and don't worry, we are talking recipes). We're also talking about fasting joyfully (yes, that's possible), the history of fasting and Lent in the Catholic Church, and how to approach fasting if you've struggled with an unhealthy relationship with food. Whether you're listening in on this episode because fasting is something that comes easily for you or maybe it's one of the most challenging aspects of Lent and you want to grow in joy surrounding your fasting, sister, this letter is for you. Topics we talked about in this episode: The inspiration behind "The Lenten Cookbook," a collaboration between Vatican chef David Geisser and Catholic author Scott Hahn The history of Lent within the Catholic tradition and how has Lent evolved to what we have today as Catholics All of the “letter of the law” questions around fasting, but also how to fruitfully go deeper and enter into a spirit of self-denial in a healthy was as Catholic women today The difference between fasting and dieting How fasting can be joyful (in Lent and year-round) Ways to approach fasting if you've struggled with a healthy relationship with food in your story The recipes Kristen is looking forward to making from “The Lenten Cookbook” The beauty of creativity in our lives as Catholic women living out the feminine genius Resources you should check out after listening to this episode: “The Lenten Cookbook",” published by Sophia Institute Press If you struggle with understanding food and receiving it as a gift, I highly recommend “The Catholic Table” by Emily Stimpson Chapman.

WATCH ON YOUTUBE HERE! “If you do not know how to feast, you do not know how to feast.” -GK Chesterton Not gonna lie… as a teen I usually weighed my Lenten resolution options against how good I'd look in a swimsuit by Easter.

I still don't know if I do, but this year I've received a few great new books that completely transformed my outlook on Lent and fasting and, dare I say, made me look forward to this penitential season!?
