Nato a Parigi nel 1929 ma emigrato negli Stati Uniti in seguito alle leggi razziali, George Steiner è stato una delle figure di primo piano a livello internazionale nel campo della critica. Nella sua attività ha scritto numerosi saggi e studi di grande valore su molti temi: dalla linguistica all'etica, dalla teoria della traduzione alla letteratura, dalle arti figurative alla scienza. L'Università di Bologna gli ha conferito la laurea ad honorem in Linguistica italiana e civiltà letterarie durante la cerimonia tenuta martedì 30 maggio 2006 presso l'Aula Absidale di Santa Lucia.

Got a question? Let us know!Where do you tend to lose your patience—at home, online, or in traffic? In this episode, we talk about how having a “long fuse” can help us respond differently when things get heated. It's not about pretending things don't bother us but learning how to stay steady in a culture that's quick to cancel and slow to forgive. We also unpack practical ways to grow in patience—with others and with ourselves.#MadeForMondays #Patience #CancelCulture #EmotionalHealth #FaithAndLife #GospelCulture #FruitOfTheSpirit #BelieversChurchWant a simple way to slow down and focus on Scripture each day?

WELCOMEWelcome to the Everyday Disciples podcast, where we discuss what it means to follow the way of Jesus in everything, everywhere, every day.  This month, we are talking about what it means to be purposeful in prayer.WHAT IS PRAYEROur English word prayer derives from the Latin word precarious, which is fitting since we tend to most often pray in the precarious moments of life. But it is not just the precarious moments that cause us to pray. It is also those moments of wonder and awe that move us toward our Creator. A FEW FORMS OF PRAYERLiturgical - Wrote prayers such as scripture or written prayers passed through generations.Intercession - Praying on behalf of another person or for another person.Tongues/Praying in the Spirit - A gift of the Holy Spirit that we are directed has a time and place to be used (1 Cor.14:27).Worship (music or otherwise) - Adoration, confession, supplication, thanksgiving.Prophetic - Praying out what the Lord is speaking to you for someone else or people groups. WHAT WAS JESUS PATTERN OF PRAYER?Jesus modeled patterns and practices of prayer by prioritizing it in his life:At His baptism, He was praying (Luke 3:21-22)In the midst of popularity, He would withdraw and pray (Luke 5:16)Before major decisions, he would prayer, like when calling the disciples. (Luke 6:12)In times with his disciples, He prayed. (Luke 9:18)He would take close disciples away with Him to pray (Luke 9:28)Before Jesus was betrayed, He was praying (Luke 22:39-41)As Jesus was praying, His disciples asked Him to teach them to pray. (Luke 11:1)RWHERE TO START“Pray as you can, not as you can't” - Dom ChapmanPRAY THE LORDS PRAYER - Matthew 6:9-13PRAY THROUGH A PSALMJOURNAL YOUR PRAYERSPRACTICES FOR THE MONTH:1.   SET A TIME AND A PLACE TO PRAY2.  TRY A NEW PRAYER PRACTICE:Pray Scripture, Pray with others, Meditative Prayer, Read a book of prayers, Write your prayers, use Lectio 365 guided prayer, etc. 3.   MID-DAY PRAYERPause in the middle of your day and prayer through the Lord's prayer. Matthew 6:9-13RESOURCES:Praying the Bible by Donald WhitneyPrayer: Finding the Hearts Home by Richard FosterHow to Pray: A Simple Guide for Normal People by Pete GriegPray Like Monks Live Like Fools by Tyler StatonA Praying Life by Paul E.

lectio divina Agora, ao entrar em oração, faço uma pausa para ficar quieto, respirar devagar e recentrar os meus sentidos dispersos na presença de Deus. (pausa) leitura e silêncio Palavra: Isaías 50.4b-5 Cada manhã ele me faz estar atento para que eu aprenda como bom discípulo. O Senhor ensinou-me a escutar e eu não resisti nem recuei. escreve a tua oração (resume a tua Lectio numa palavra ou frase) Oramos para que este tempo com Deus te encoraje e inspire.

We begin by recapping this year's seminary basketball tournament and deciding whether or not Fr. Garett is the right coach for the future of the St. Joseph Joey's basketball program. Then we share our reflections on a powerful passage from the Gospel of John recounting the Risen Lord's appearance to the disciples on the shore of the sea. 

We're all here! It's not easy getting us all in the same room these days, with schedules, work, wildfires, and Brock going to Disneyland. But we did it. And we had a great conversation about our own spiritual rhythms and practices. It's not easy staying in tune with God when the world is in chaos and our lives are full of demands. But it's also not optional. How else will we survive these troubled times, and pass on healthy spiritual lives to our students?The goal: To be able to tell students, “Watch me, and do as I do.”Mentioned in this episode:Lectio 365https://www.24-7prayer.com/resource/lectio-365/Bible in One Year https://bibleinoneyear.orgDallas Willard Abraham Heschel DisneylandGive us a 5-star review on iTunes.https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/youth-ministry-sherpas-coast-to-coast/id1333665959We are proud members of the Download Youth Ministry Podcast Network https://www.downloadyouthministry.com Watch us on YouTube! https://www.youtube.com/@youthministrysherpasC2C Follow us on Instagram!Email us at youthministrysherpas@gmail.com

Send us a textHave you ever felt like life is too noisy to hear God's voice? Have you wondered what you would feel if you slowed down, embraced the quiet, and deepened your relationship with God?  In today's episode, Dr. Elaina Barron and Angie Elkins are diving into the contemplative life—what it means to truly be still and know that He is God. We'll explore practices like Lectio Divina, sharing resources such as John Mark Comer's Practicing the Way and the app Lectio 365 to help us embrace stillness and intentionality in our spiritual walk. Angie and Elaina delve into the concept of Holy Leisure—creating sacred moments to sit with God and receive His love. You'll hear personal stories and reflections of Elaina and Angie's own journey of resistance to this type of prayer and the freedom found in releasing control. This episode is an invitation to slow down, seek God's presence, and experience the sanctifying beauty of rest in Him. Together, let's uncover practical ways to create Holy Leisure in our lives, let go of control, and experience the transformative power of simply being in His presence. Let's take this journey of sanctification, one still moment at a time.SHOW LINKS: Connect with Angie Elkins Connect with Dr. Elaina Barron Practicing the WayLectio 365The Practice of the Presence of GodClick HERE to shop the Together Bible Study from Lifeway and Ben Mandrell

Revelation 12:11 says that “they triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony.” In today's episode, Stasi is joined by her dear friend Cyndi Fudickar, who bravely shares her story of brokenness, healing, and God's unshakable faithfulness—a conversation that will deeply resonate with each of us.

In this week's episode, we reflect on suffering and love. We all have deep and tender places in our hearts where we suffer. Sometimes we feel alone in these sorrows and because of this, turn inwards into our pain. But the reality is, we are never alone in our suffering; God is always with us. We also reflect on fear in suffering, suffering in isolation vs suffering in communion, and how to allow God's light to shine into these sorrowful places.   Heather's One Thing - The Liturgy of the Hours subscription from Word on Fire Heather's Other One Thing - Providential Co. (especially this Sacred Heart candle) Sister Miriam's One Thing - Magnificat (particularly a recent excerpt from Spe Salvi paragraphs 37-40) Sister Miriam's Other One Thing - Everyone who sent her birthday wishes and this tiny hands birthday card  Michelle's One Thing -  “Home: A Blessed Conversations Study on the Virtues of Mary” from Blessed is She and all the women in her small group   Announcement: Friends, we are excited to announce our 2024 Advent Study will be the book Encountering Emmanuel by Heather Khym!   Journal Questions: What suffering am I running from? Take some time to identify your current fears. How can you let these fears bring you into an encounter with Love Himself? Do I have a friend I can invite into my suffering? How can I be present to her suffering as well? How has Jesus transformed injury into compassion in my life?   Discussion Questions: Are you suffering in communion or in isolation? How can you suffer more like Jesus in this season? What habits in your spiritual toolbox protect your heart in moments of suffering and desolation? How can you love well when your heart is broken?   Quote to Ponder: “What really hurts is not so much suffering itself as the fear of suffering. If welcomed, trustingly and peacefully, suffering makes us grow. It matures and trains us, purifies us, teaches us to love unselfishly, makes us poor in heart, humble, gentle and compassionate toward our neighbor. Fear of suffering, on the other hand, hardens us in self protective defensive attitudes and often leads us to make irrational choices with disastrous consequences.” (Interior Freedom, Fr. Jacques Philippe)   Scripture for Lectio:  “For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; a time to throw away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; a time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to throw away; a time to tear, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; a time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace” (Ecclesiastes 3:1-8)   Sponsor - Laura-Anne: The world wants you to believe that marriage is little more than an exchange of “I do.” But this Sacrament is worth preparing for—and commemorating—with intention.
