It is time to get back to New France and the exploration of the middle of this beautiful country of ours. Our vehicle will René-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle, known to both his contemporaries and to history as “La Salle.” You’ve heard his name, especially if you live within driving distance of the Mississippi, but do you know what he actually did? This and the next few episodes tell La Salle’s remarkable story. We are back in New France, along the St. Lawrence River, now in the 1660s. The episode begins with an introduction to the geopolitics of North America from the French perspective, then pivots to La Salle’s early life and first years in New France, where he had received a grant of land on roughly the site of Montreal’s international airport. Finally, we conclude with his first journey of discovery, an attempt – perhaps fulfilled – to discover the Ohio River, of which he had heard from Seneca Iroquois who wintered with him in 1668-69. This voyage mattered, because it might have established French claims to the Pittsburgh area, the ambiguity of which was, along with George Washington, the catalyst for the French and Indian War. Sadly, those claims were ambiguous because the French national archives had misplaced the relevant narratives, and they only resurfaced in the 19th century. Archivists matter!

Lluís Alejandre: la memòria viva d'un menorquí entre la història, la milícia i la marDel port de Maó a la cúpula de l'Exèrcit: un viatge vital de vuit dècades marcat per l'arrelament a la seva terra i el servei públic"Decidir és seleccionar; seleccionar és renunciar."Amb aquesta contundent màxima comença la conversa amb el nostre convidat d'avui, una d'aquelles figures que condensen la història recent de Menorca i d'Espanya. Parlem de Lluís Alejandre, un maonès de 84 anys (nascut el 1941) que ha recorregut el món com a militar i historiador, però que mai no ha perdut el cordó umbilical que el manté unit de forma visceral a la seva illa natal. Un home de trajectòria intensa que avui presideix la Fundació de l'Illa del Rei i que repassa, amb lucidesa i enyorança, el seu periple vital.El port de Maó com a mirall de la pròpia identitatSi fos un indret de Menorca, Alejandre ho té claríssim: triaria sense dubtar-ho el port de Maó. I no és una elecció casual o merament estètica, sinó profundament històrica i sentimental. Amb arrels familiars il·lustres —entre els seus antecessors hi ha la saga de pintors Hernández Sanz o constructors navals com els Monjo—, entén el port com el veritable motor que va situar Menorca al mapa del món.Des de la seva visió com a historiador, remarca com els britànics van saber valorar la importància estratègica d'aquesta rada natural per damunt d'altres rutes de cabotatge, traslladant-hi la capitalitat i escrivint la història moderna de l'illa. Aquesta passió per la mar i les arrels va ser la seva brúixola durant els llargs anys que va viure lluny de casa. Després de residir quatre anys a Amèrica, tres a França i voltar per mig planeta, l'enyorança de la terra es convertia en una constant. Trobar un altre menorquí a la Cinquena Avinguda de Nova York, com li va ocórrer amb el pintor Joan Ponç, era l'excusa perfecta per connectar immediatament amb la seva essència.Una vocació de servei nascuda de la muntanya i l'esportNet i fill d'advocats, a casa seva no hi havia cap antecedents militars directes. Tanmateix, la influència del pare d'un amic, a qui considerava un model exemplar, i un esperit actiu lligat a la muntanya i a l'atletisme el van portar a ingressar a l'Acadèmia Militar als 17 anys. El jove que feia voltes a l'illa a peu va trobar a la milícia una sortida per a la seva energia física i la seva disciplina.L'educació rebuda al col·legi de La Salle de Maó —un espai que recorda amb un orgull especial per la seva obertura i les seves instal·lacions esportives— va ser el fonament de la seva joventut. Anys més tard, visitant una escola de La Salle a Santiago de Cuba on havia estudiat Fidel Castro, Alejandre reconeixia amb emotivitat la mateixa estructura arquitectònica i l'esperit dels frares francesos que el van formar a la Menorca dels anys cinquanta.De la transició militar a la diplomàcia de pauLa trajectòria d'Alejandre és un fidel reflex de la transformació d'Espanya. Format durant la dictadura, quan el concepte de defensa era estrictament intern i de fronteres cap endins, va viure en primera persona la gran obertura cap a l'exterior amb l'arribada de la democràcia i l'ingrés a les Nacions Unides i l'OTAN.De la seva etapa inicial a les tropes de muntanya i deu anys als paracaigudistes —fent servei a la Península i al Sàhara—, va passar a l'Estat Major i a la diplomàcia internacional. Va participar activament en missions de pau en escenaris tan complexos com Nicaragua, El Salvador, Colòmbia o l'Havana. La seva brillant carrera el va portar a ser director de l'Acadèmia d'Infanteria de Toledo, cap del Gabinet Tècnic del ministre Eduardo Serra a l'any 2000, capità general de Barcelona com a tinent general i, finalment, a culminar la seva professió com a cap de l'Estat Major de l'Exèrcit de Terra (JEME).Un recorregut vital completíssim que demostra que, per molt lluny que un viatgi o altes que siguin les responsabilitats assumides, les arrels maoneses sempre acaben marcant el camí de retorn a casa.

BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE is available from Bridwell Press. James's ROMANTIC COMEDY is available from Four Way Books. Notes: Tim Dlugos was born in Springfield, Massachusetts and grew up in Arlington, Virginia. From 1968 to 1970, he was a Christian Brother at LaSalle College in Philadelphia. He left LaSalle and moved to Washington, DC, but later lived in New York City where he was a contributing editor to Christopher Street magazine and on the Poetry Project staff.Dlugos's books of poetry include High There (1973), Je Suis Ein Americano (1979), Incredible Risks (1980), Entre Nous (1981), A Fast Life (1982), Strong Place (1992), Powerless: Selected Poems 1973–1990 (1995), and the posthumous A Fast Life: Poems of Tim Dlugos (2011), edited by David Trinidad. Marked by witty observation, narratives that recount life's daily minutia, and heavily enjambed lines, Dlugos's poetry shares its immediate, offhand style with the work of Frank O'Hara and James Schuyler.

The son of an assassinated senator, Iván Cepeda has spent much of his public life focused on victims' rights, historical memory, and Colombia's long internal conflict. Over four terms in Congress, he became one of the country's most prominent left-wing politicians and a central figure in some of its most consequential political and legal battles. But as he seeks the presidency, a key question remains: how would a politician whose career has been built in activism and legislation govern the country from the executive branch?SOURCES & ACKNOWLEDGMENTSKey La Silla Vacía pieces referenced: - Profile of Iván Cepeda (life, Manuel Cepeda's assassination, MOVICE, the Uribe case, “truth as a program”) - “La cuota de Cepeda en el fracaso de la paz total” — Cepeda's share of responsibility in the failure of Total Peace - “Cepeda lleva una década de silencio frente a la opresión del chavismo” — Cepeda's silence on Chavismo - Reyes' computers investigation - Profile of Abelardo de la Espriella (Montería, La Salle, Ralito/Fipaz, the client list, the brand, the religious conversion, the tiger campaign) - “El universo empresarial de la Espriella: socios cuestionados, saldos en rojo y bienes raíces” — https://www.lasillavacia.com/silla-nacional/el-universo-empresarial-de-la-espriella-socios-cuestionados-saldos-en-rojo-y-bienes-raices/Race facts verified (June 2026): - First round (May 31, 2026): De la Espriella ~43.7%, Cepeda ~40.9%; runoff June 21; winner inaugurated August 7.

Iván Cepeda has built his political career around peace, social justice, and advocacy for victims of Colombia's armed conflict. In this segment, we examine the strongest arguments in his favor, from his focus on neglected regions and marginalized communities to his commitment to implementing the peace accords, his ideological consistency, and his reputation as a disciplined and experienced political operator. Whether you agree with his vision or not, these are the qualities that make Cepeda a serious contender in Colombia's 2026 presidential race.SOURCES & ACKNOWLEDGMENTSKey La Silla Vacía pieces referenced: - Profile of Iván Cepeda (life, Manuel Cepeda's assassination, MOVICE, the Uribe case, “truth as a program”) - “La cuota de Cepeda en el fracaso de la paz total” — Cepeda's share of responsibility in the failure of Total Peace - “Cepeda lleva una década de silencio frente a la opresión del chavismo” — Cepeda's silence on Chavismo - Reyes' computers investigation - Profile of Abelardo de la Espriella (Montería, La Salle, Ralito/Fipaz, the client list, the brand, the religious conversion, the tiger campaign) - “El universo empresarial de la Espriella: socios cuestionados, saldos en rojo y bienes raíces” — https://www.lasillavacia.com/silla-nacional/el-universo-empresarial-de-la-espriella-socios-cuestionados-saldos-en-rojo-y-bienes-raices/Race facts verified (June 2026): - First round (May 31, 2026): De la Espriella ~43.7%, Cepeda ~40.9%; runoff June 21; winner inaugurated August 7.

Abelardo de la Espriella presents himself as a tough-on-crime, pro-growth outsider, but his candidacy also raises significant questions. In this segment, we examine concerns about his admiration for strongman politics, his long history as a defense attorney for controversial figures, his opposition to key elements of Colombia's peace process, and the absence of a governing track record. We also explore criticisms of his approach to press freedom, social policy, and public image, offering a balanced look at the risks and uncertainties surrounding one of Colombia's most talked-about presidential candidates.SOURCES & ACKNOWLEDGMENTSKey La Silla Vacía pieces referenced: - Profile of Iván Cepeda (life, Manuel Cepeda's assassination, MOVICE, the Uribe case, “truth as a program”) - “La cuota de Cepeda en el fracaso de la paz total” — Cepeda's share of responsibility in the failure of Total Peace - “Cepeda lleva una década de silencio frente a la opresión del chavismo” — Cepeda's silence on Chavismo - Reyes' computers investigation - Profile of Abelardo de la Espriella (Montería, La Salle, Ralito/Fipaz, the client list, the brand, the religious conversion, the tiger campaign) - “El universo empresarial de la Espriella: socios cuestionados, saldos en rojo y bienes raíces” — https://www.lasillavacia.com/silla-nacional/el-universo-empresarial-de-la-espriella-socios-cuestionados-saldos-en-rojo-y-bienes-raices/Race facts verified (June 2026): - First round (May 31, 2026): De la Espriella ~43.7%, Cepeda ~40.9%; runoff June 21; winner inaugurated August 7.

Iván Cepeda presents himself as a champion of peace, social justice, and human rights, but his critics see a very different picture. In this segment, we examine concerns about his ties to controversial political figures, his approach to guerrilla groups and the failed Total Peace strategy, his economic agenda, and his vision for expanding the role of the state. We also explore questions surrounding investor confidence, healthcare reform, political alliances, and his long-standing ideological commitments, offering a critical look at the risks many Colombians associate with a potential Cepeda presidency.SOURCES & ACKNOWLEDGMENTSKey La Silla Vacía pieces referenced: - Profile of Iván Cepeda (life, Manuel Cepeda's assassination, MOVICE, the Uribe case, “truth as a program”) - “La cuota de Cepeda en el fracaso de la paz total” — Cepeda's share of responsibility in the failure of Total Peace - “Cepeda lleva una década de silencio frente a la opresión del chavismo” — Cepeda's silence on Chavismo - Reyes' computers investigation - Profile of Abelardo de la Espriella (Montería, La Salle, Ralito/Fipaz, the client list, the brand, the religious conversion, the tiger campaign) - “El universo empresarial de la Espriella: socios cuestionados, saldos en rojo y bienes raíces” — https://www.lasillavacia.com/silla-nacional/el-universo-empresarial-de-la-espriella-socios-cuestionados-saldos-en-rojo-y-bienes-raices/Race facts verified (June 2026): - First round (May 31, 2026): De la Espriella ~43.7%, Cepeda ~40.9%; runoff June 21; winner inaugurated August 7.

Retired biologist Mark LaSalle joins the Mississippi Outdoors Podcast to talk about something almost every Mississippian has wondered — how do you get more hummingbirds in your yard?Mark explains which native plants attract hummingbirds and why they work better than feeders alone: cross vine, red buckeye, coral honeysuckle, coral bean, trumpet creeper, cardinal flower, and salvias. He talks about when hummingbirds arrive in Mississippi, why they return to the same yards year after year, and what most people don't know — that 80% of a hummingbird's diet is insects, not nectar.He also breaks down the one key rule for native plants: get them through the first year, and they'll largely take care of themselves after that. Good episode for anyone with a yard, a feeder, or a curious neighbor who keeps getting all the hummingbirds. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Father Jacques Marquette is celebrated on May 18, which marks the anniversary of his death in 1675. In the Roman Catholic Church, particularly within the Jesuit order, he is memorialized as a dedicated missionary and explorer. Marquette does not have an official universal feast day in the Church because he has not been canonized as a saint. He is currently recognized by the Church as a "Servant of God," meaning a formal cause for his canonization is underway. The Great Lakes and the Upper Mississippi regions were explored by young Jesuit clergyman, such as Jacques Marquette, known as ‘God’s Soldiers’ who evangelized indigenous peoples throughout the vast territories of 17th century New France.

May 15th, 2026: The Sacrament of Penance Casts Out All Uncleanness; Disney's Agenda is Contrary to the New Commandment of Jesus; St John Baptist De La Salle & Spiritual Childhood
1 At that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying: Who thinkest thou is the greater in the kingdom of heaven?In illa hora accesserunt discipuli ad Jesum, dicentes : Quis, putas, major est in regno caelorum? 2 And Jesus calling unto him a little child, set him in the midst of them,Et advocans Jesus parvulum, statuit eum in medio eorum, 3 And said: Amen I say to you, unless you be converted, and become as little children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.et dixit : Amen dico vobis, nisi conversi fueritis, et efficiamini sicut parvuli, non intrabitis in regnum caelorum. 4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, he is the greater in the kingdom of heaven.Quicumque ergo humiliaverit se sicut parvulus iste, hic est major in regno caelorum. 5 And he that shall receive one such little child in my name, receiveth me.Et qui susceperit unum parvulum talem in nomine meo, me suscipit :St John Baptist studied theology at the Sorbonne. Inspired by God to give a Christian education to the poor, he founded the Brother of the Christian Schools which soon spread throughout the world. In private life he treated himself with extreme rigour, and died full of merits and years in A.D. 1719.
Few public servants in Louisiana history have worn as many hats, or told as many stories, as Jay Dardenne. Having served as State Senator, Secretary of State, Lieutenant Governor, and Commissioner of Administration under John Bel Edwards, Dardenne has spent decades shaping and promoting the state. But in this conversation, we explore a different dimension of his life: historian, storyteller, and documentarian. Dardenne is the creator and host of Why Louisiana Ain't Mississippi or Any Place Else, a production of Louisiana Public Broadcasting that brings Louisiana's complex history to life. What began as a live presentation he started developing in the 1990s has evolved into a widely viewed documentary, what Jay calls “a gumbo of culture, politics, music, and storytelling.” His goal is simple but profound: to help people understand not just what happened in Louisiana, but why it shaped who we are today. His personal connection to Acadiana runs deep. “It is always good to come to Lafayette,” he shares. “I spend a lot of time here growing up because my mother was born here. It's like a second home.” Dardenne's passion for public service began early. Reflecting on his time as student body president at Louisiana State University, he admits the decision to run came “in a moment of weakness,” but it set the stage for a lifelong commitment to leadership. “I think I did want to serve from a young age. I always wanted to be president of this or that. It was kind of a natural move for me to decide to get into politics.” Even today, he remains active in the legal field, working as a mediator and maintaining a practice focused on business matters and estate planning. “I don't want to retire,” he says candidly. At the heart of this episode is Dardenne's deep dive into Louisiana's identity. He emphasizes that Louisiana's influence far exceeds its size: “We punch above our weight as a state. Our influence and our impact on sports, music, politics, art and literature is disproportionate to our size.” His storytelling traces the state's origins from Indigenous civilizations at Poverty Point, a site he notes was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site during his tenure as Lieutenant Governor, to the layered cultural influences of French, Spanish, African, Acadian, and immigrant communities. He walks listeners through the founding of New Orleans by Jean-Baptiste Le Moyne de Bienville and the early French explorers like René-Robert Cavelier de La Salle, highlighting how these forces combined to create what he repeatedly describes as a uniquely Louisiana “gumbo.” The conversation also captures his appreciation for the state's colorful political past. Figures like Huey Long and Dudley LeBlanc loom large in his storytelling, representing a brand of larger-than-life leadership that he believes has faded over time. “We have characters still,” he says, “but we don't have the color that Huey Long and Dudley LeBlanc brought.” Why Louisiana Ain't Mississippi… or Any Place Else! Documentary Companion Book showcases the photography of visual documentarian photographer Carol Highsmith. The book takes you on a visual journey across Louisiana, revealing hidden beauty and startling new perspectives of iconic images. It can be purchased at LPB’s website here. Dardenne's work is not just about history, it's about connection. Through humor, he makes complex narratives memorable: “People do remember things that entertain them.” That philosophy has helped his presentation resonate with audiences across generations, even leading to curriculum-based lesson plans for students in grades 6 through 12. Educators, students, and parents now have access to new digital resources that complement learning across multiple areas of study and put Louisiana history and culture center stage! Developed by LPB Education, these free educational resources offer entertaining and informative content for twenty-four curriculum supports. This effort was funded through a dedicated percentage of membership revenues raised by Why Louisiana Ain't Mississippi… or Any Place Else! Visit https://whylouisiana.lpb.org/Classroom.html for more information. He also shares insight into his latest documentary project, focused on LSU legend Billy Cannon. The film explores Cannon's life beyond football, including his later work at Louisiana State Penitentiary. “It'll be a football story,” Dardenne explains, “but it'll also be about redemption, what he did at Angola after he was released from prison.” When asked what he is most proud of, Dardenne's answer is deeply personal: “My two sons.” Professionally, however, his guiding principle has remained constant: “I like to leave a place better than I found it.” That ethos extends to his love for Louisiana itself. Despite its challenges, he believes the state's culture and sense of identity keep people rooted here. “We're very self-critical, but nonetheless, this is a place where people want to live. They love the lifestyle. They love who we are.” In this episode, Jay Dardenne reminds us that Louisiana is not easily defined, and that's exactly the point. Through history, humor, and heartfelt reflection, he invites us to see the state not just as a place, but as a living story worth preserving.

Full Text of Readings Tuesday in the Octave of Easter Lectionary: 262 The Saint of the day is Saint John Baptist de La Salle Saint John Baptist de La Salle's Story Complete dedication to what he saw as God's will for him dominated the life of Saint John Baptist de La Salle. In 1950, Pope Pius XII named him patron of schoolteachers for his efforts in upgrading school instruction. As a young 17th-century Frenchman, John had everything going for him: scholarly bent, good looks, noble family background, money, refined upbringing. At the early age of 11, he received the tonsure and started preparation for the priesthood, to which he was ordained at 27. He seemed assured then of a life of dignified ease and a high position in the Church. But God had other plans for Saint John Baptist de La Salle, which were gradually revealed to him in the next several years. During a chance meeting with Monsieur Adrien Nyel, he became interested in the creation of schools for poor boys in Rheims, where he was stationed. Though the work was extremely distasteful to him at first, he became more involved in working with the deprived youths. Once convinced that this was his divinely appointed mission, Saint John Baptist de La Salle threw himself wholeheartedly into the work, left home and family, abandoned his position as canon at Rheims, gave away his fortune, and reduced himself to the level of the poor to whom he devoted his entire life. The remainder of his life was closely entwined with the community of religious men he founded, the Brothers of the Christian School (also called Christian Brothers or De La Salle Brothers). This community grew rapidly and was successful in educating boys of poor families, using methods designed by John. It prepared teachers in the first training college for teachers and also set up homes and schools for young delinquents of wealthy families. The motivating element in all these endeavors was the desire to become a good Christian. Yet even in his success, John did not escape experiencing many trials: heart-rending disappointment and defections among his disciples, bitter opposition from the secular schoolmasters who resented his new and fruitful methods, and persistent opposition from the Jansenists of his time, whose moral rigidity and pessimism about the human condition John resisted vehemently all his life. Afflicted with asthma and rheumatism in his last years, he died on Good Friday at age 68, and was canonized in 1900. Reflection Complete dedication to one's calling by God, whatever it may be, is a rare quality. Jesus asks us to “love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength” (Mark 12:30b, emphasis added). Paul gives similar advice: “Whatever you do, do from the heart…” (Colossians 3:23).Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media
