Gospel John 1:19-28 This is the testimony of John.  When the Jews from Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to him to ask him, “Who are you?” he admitted and did not deny it, but admitted, “I am not the Christ.”  So they asked him, “What are you then? Are you Elijah?”  And he said, “I am not.”  “Are you the Prophet?” He answered, “No.”  So they said to him, “Who are you, so we can give an answer to those who sent us?  What do you have to say for yourself?” He said: “I am the voice of one crying out in the desert, ‘Make straight the way of the Lord,' as Isaiah the prophet said.”  Some Pharisees were also sent.  They asked him, “Why then do you baptize if you are not the Christ or Elijah or the Prophet?”  John answered them, “I baptize with water; but there is one among you whom you do not recognize, the one who is coming after me, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to untie.”  This happened in Bethany across the Jordan, where John was baptizing. Reflection It's hard to underestimate the importance of understanding John the Baptist. He's the transition. He occupies the liminal space between the Old Testament and New Testament, and he's using such an interesting image here. He's saying, the things that I've done for you are symbolic of what's to come. I've had a ritual of baptizing you with water, which is an image of being cleansed. But then he reveals one is coming after that will not baptize simply with water, but with fire. And Holy Spirit. It's interesting, there's so many things in the Old Testament we can see as symbols of what is coming, and nothing is more clear than John the Baptist's role of pointed out that there is something so much more powerful than any prophet or any temple leader. Closing Prayer Father, it's hard for us to make the radical change that the New Testament invites us to believe in and live. And perhaps is because the things that are promised are so extraordinary, so beyond our imagining, that we can be transformed, radically transformed by grace, not by our own efforts, but by gifts that flow from the life of God. It comes to us regularly in his presence, blesses us with openness to that. And we ask this in Jesus' name, Amen. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Today’s Topics: 1, 2, 3, 4) Father Charles Murr joins Terry Gospel – John 1:1-18 – In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God.  All things came to be through him, and without him nothing came to be. What came to be through him was life, and this life was the light of the human race; the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. A man named John was sent from God. He came for testimony, to testify to the light,  so that all might believe through him. He was not the light, but came to testify to the light. The true light, which enlightens everyone, was coming into the world. He was in the world, and the world came to be through him, but the world did not know him. He came to what was his own, but his own people did not accept him. But to those who did accept him he gave power to become children of God, to those who believe in his name, who were born not by natural generation nor by human choice nor by a man's decision but of God. And the Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us, and we saw his glory, the glory as of the Father's only-begotten Son, full of grace and truth. John testified to him and cried out, saying, “This was he of whom I said, ‘The one who is coming after me ranks ahead of me because he existed before me.'” From his fullness we have all received, grace in place of grace, because while the law was given through Moses,  grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. No one has ever seen God. The only-begotten Son, God, who is at the Father's side, has revealed him. Memorial of Saint Sylvester I, Pope Saint Sylvester, pray for us! Bishop Sheen quote of the day

Today’s Topics: 1) Gospel – Mk 4:1-20 – On another occasion, Jesus began to teach by the sea. A very large crowd gathered around Him so that He got into a boat on the sea and sat down. And the whole crowd was beside the sea on land. And He taught them at length in parables, and in the course of His instruction He said to them, “Hear this! A sower went out to sow. And as he sowed, some seed fell on the path, and the birds came and ate it up. Other seed fell on rocky ground where it had little soil. It sprang up at once because the soil was not deep. And when the sun rose, it was scorched and it withered for lack of roots. Some seed fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it and it produced no grain. And some seed fell on rich soil and produced fruit. It came up and grew and yielded thirty, sixty, and a hundredfold.” He added, “Whoever has ears to hear ought to hear.” And when He was alone, those present along with the Twelve questioned Him about the parables. He answered them, “The mystery of the Kingdom of God has been granted to you. But to those outside everything comes in parables, so that they may look and see but not perceive, and hear and listen but not understand, in order that they may not be converted and be forgiven.” Jesus said to them, “Do you not understand this parable? Then how will you understand any of the parables? The sower sows the word. These are the ones on the path where the word is sown. As soon as they hear, Satan comes at once and takes away the word sown in them. And these are the ones sown on rocky ground who, when they hear the word, receive it at once with joy. But they have no roots; they last only for a time. Then when tribulation or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away. Those sown among thorns are another sort. They are the people who hear the word, but worldly anxiety, the lure of riches, and the craving for other things intrude and choke the word, and it bears no fruit. But those sown on rich soil are the ones who hear the word and accept it and bear fruit thirty and sixty and a hundredfold.” Memorial of Saint Francis de Sales, Bishop and Doctor of the Church Saint Francis, pray for us! 2, 3) Father Robert Nixon on his translation of Cardinal Armand Jean du Plessis’ (Cardinal Richelieu) writings in Treatise of Perfection (TAN Books) 4) Catholic convert says same-sex attracted people need to hear “the hard truth” https://catholicvote.org/catholic-convert-says-same-sex-attracted-people-need-to-hear-the-hard-truth/

Welcome to provocative conversations from Twice 5 Miles Radio. I'm your host, James Navé. In this episode, I record on location in Taipei, Taiwan, tracing a single day as it unfolds—from morning rain and quiet memorial grounds to crowded streets, shared meals, and a luminous night market. What emerges is a listening-based travelogue: part reportage, part reflection, part improvisation. The episode moves through the scale and symbolism of the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial, galleries dedicated to art, democracy, and human rights, and parks where qigong, tai chi, birds, and water slow the pace of the day. Along the way, ordinary moments take on meaning: standing in line for noodles, watching a heron fish, noticing alleyways, scooters, fabric, sound, and gesture. As evening arrives, the city gathers in the night market—dense, bright, kinetic—before the day closes in a quiet listening room and a hotel window overlooking the turn from 2025 to 2026. Throughout the episode, questions surface about disruption and order, impermanence and continuity, attention and belonging. This is not a guidebook or a debate. It's an invitation to listen closely—to place, to movement, and to the way meaning forms when we slow down enough to notice what's already there.

Jn 1:19-28This is the testimony of John. When the Jews from Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to himto ask him, “Who are you?”he admitted and did not deny it, but admitted,“I am not the Christ.” So they asked him,“What are you then? Are you Elijah?” And he said, “I am not.” “Are you the Prophet?”He answered, “No.” So they said to him,“Who are you, so we can give an answer to those who sent us? What do you have to say for yourself?”He said:“I am the voice of one crying out in the desert,‘Make straight the way of the Lord,'as Isaiah the prophet said.” Some Pharisees were also sent. They asked him,“Why then do you baptizeif you are not the Christ or Elijah or the Prophet?” John answered them,“I baptize with water;but there is one among you whom you do not recognize,the one who is coming after me,whose sandal strap I am not worthy to untie.” This happened in Bethany across the Jordan,where John was baptizing.

In this episode of The Box of Oddities, Kat and Jethro Gilligan-Toth begin the new year by pulling apart something we all use but rarely question: the calendar. From Julius Caesar's ego-driven timekeeping decisions to the leap year, misplaced months, and how entire civilizations quietly agreed on when the year should begin, it's a surprisingly strange history of how humans try — and often fail — to organize time itself. But once the clock runs out, the episode takes a much darker turn. Jethro dives into the true story of the Memorial Mound in Bessemer, Alabama — an underground burial mausoleum inspired by ancient Roman catacombs and Indigenous burial traditions, designed to last for centuries. Instead, it became one of the most disturbing cases of abandonment in modern funeral history. After the site quietly closed, human remains were left behind for years. Caskets stacked like warehouse inventory. Bodies decomposing in sealed darkness. An infant among them. When urban explorers finally entered the structure in 2014, what they found triggered a federal investigation and raised troubling questions about oversight, neglect, and how easily the dead can be forgotten. Along the way, you'll hear:• The strange origins of month names and New Year's Day• How calendars slowly drifted out of reality• A “Thing in the Middle” packed with bizarre machine and technology facts• And a documented case of human remains abandoned inside an American mausoleum It's a story about time, memory, and what happens when systems fail — quietly, slowly, and out of sight.

In this Bonus Bri episode, Brian Beckner delivers a free preview of this week's Patreon-exclusive content—starting with one of the strangest and most unintentionally profound traditions in modern American sports: the Pop-Tarts Bowl. Joined by friend of the show and official Pop-Tarts Bowl Correspondent Zach Xavier, Brian breaks down the surreal pageantry, evolving lore, and outright ritual sacrifice of Pop-Tarts mascots—including toaster cremations, memorial jackets for fallen pastries, and a jacked “protein Pop-Tart” who refuses his destiny and escapes execution. But that's only the beginning. The episode takes a sharp turn into darker territory with a disturbing true story out of Austria: a mountain climber accused of manslaughter after allegedly leaving his exhausted, ill-equipped girlfriend to freeze to death near the summit of the country's highest peak. Brian unpacks the case, the prosecution's allegations, and what it says about responsibility, masculinity, and abandoning someone who trusted you with their life. Along the way, Brian riffs on: Why Pop-Tarts may be the straightest food ever invented The ethics of survival stories and cutting the rope The difference between “feeling bad” and being accountable The unspoken social contract of not leaving women vulnerable Bonnie Blue, Bali, and disrespecting national flags for clout The Monster Mash paradox (a song about a song that never existed) JonBenét Ramsey, new “evidence,” and why some mysteries never die This episode is funny, unhinged, uncomfortable, and very on-brand. Key Topics & Highlights The Pop-Tarts Bowl as the “People's National Championship” Mascot death count: now officially three Memorial ceremonies for previously toasted Pop-Tarts BYU vs. Georgia Tech (almost irrelevant, by design) Protein Pop-Tart with jacked arms escapes the toaster Why Pop-Tarts want to be eaten The Austrian mountain climbing case and manslaughter charges Gross negligence vs. tragic accident Why some survival stories are defensible—and others aren't Masculinity, responsibility, and not abandoning people Bonnie Blue's Bali controversy and flag disrespect The Monster Mash as a cultural copy with no original JonBenét Ramsey updates and enduring skepticism Episode Segments / Rough Timestamps Note: Exact timestamps may vary depending on platform 00:00 – Bonus Bri intro & Patreon preview 03:00 – What exactly is the Pop-Tarts Bowl? 07:30 – Mascot lore, toaster deaths & memorial jackets 14:00 – Protein Pop-Tart escapes execution 20:00 – Why Pop-Tarts want to be eaten 25:00 – Austrian mountain climber leaves girlfriend to die 38:00 – Survival ethics & masculinity 52:00 – Bonnie Blue, Bali & national disgrace 58:00 – Monster Mash theory 1:05:00 – JonBenét Ramsey updates 1:10:00 – Closing thoughts & Patreon plug Quotes from the Episode “The Pop-Tarts Bowl is the only championship with a confirmed death toll.” “Feeling bad isn't the same as doing the right thing.” “There are certain things you just don't do as a man—like leaving someone to die on a mountain.” Support the Show Bonus episodes available on Patreon:patreon.com/TheBallerLifestylePodcast Subscribe, rate, and review on Apple Podcasts—it helps the show more than you think.

Today’s Topics: 1) Gospel – Luke 2:22-35 – When the days were completed for their purification according to the law of Moses, the parents of Jesus took Him up to Jerusalem to present Him to the Lord, just as it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that opens the womb shall be consecrated to the Lord, and to offer the sacrifice of a pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons, in accordance with the dictate in the law of the Lord. Now there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon. This man was righteous and devout, awaiting the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him. It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he should not see death before he had seen the Christ of the Lord. He came in the Spirit into the temple; and when the parents brought in the Child Jesus to perform the custom of the law in regard to Him, he took Him into his arms and blessed God, saying: “Lord, now let your servant go in peace; Your word has been fulfilled: my own eyes have seen the salvation which You prepared in the sight of every people, a light to reveal You to the nations and the glory of Your people Israel.” The Child’s father and mother were amazed at what was said about Him; and Simeon blessed them and said to Mary His mother, “Behold, this Child is destined for the fall and rise of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be contradicted (and you yourself a sword will pierce) so that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.” Memorial of Saint Thomas Becket, Bishop and Martyr Saint Thomas, pray for us!

Today’s Topics: 1, 2, 3, 4) Gospel – Luke 1:57-66 – When the time arrived for Elizabeth to have her child she gave birth to a son. Her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had shown his great mercy toward her, and they rejoiced with her. When they came on the eighth day to circumcise the child, they were going to call him Zechariah after his father, but his mother said in reply, “No. He will be called John.” But they answered her, “There is no one among your relatives who has this name.” So they made signs, asking his father what he wished him to be called. He asked for a tablet and wrote, “John is his name,” and all were amazed. Immediately his mouth was opened, his tongue freed, and he spoke blessing God. Then fear came upon all their neighbors, and all these matters were discussed throughout the hill country of Judea. All who heard these things took them to heart, saying, “What, then, will this child be? For surely the hand of the Lord was with him.” Memorial of Saint John of Kanty, Priest Saint John, pray for us!

La ONG Memorial, prohibida en diciembre de 2021 en Rusia, recibió el Premio Nobel de la Paz 2022 por su defensa de las libertades políticas en ese país. Su rama en Francia sigue activa para preservar la memoria de las violaciones de los derechos humanos y defender los derechos actuales en Rusia. Cada mes, sus voluntarios se reúnen en París para escribir cartas destinadas a prisioneros políticos rusos y bielorrusos. RFI ha podido hablar con la responsable del proyecto. Desde 2024, la ONG Memorial organiza un encuentro mensual para enviar cartas a personas detenidas por motivos políticos en Rusia y Bielorrusia. Acompañan a los voluntarios en el proceso, les dan consejos y les traducen al ruso. Una correspondencia que permite a la entidad mantener un registro de los prisioneros políticos y mostrarles el apoyo del exterior. “Las palabras son muy importantes para los prisioneros. Son personas que no han cometido delitos graves, no han asesinado a nadie, pero que fueron encarcelados por razones estrictamente políticas. Muchas veces están en un cuadro depresivo, aunque no sé si es la palabra adecuada, pero una simple carta con palabras de apoyo, con historias de la vida cotidiana, pueden reconfortar y ser vitales para un prisionero”, dice Katia Zhdanova, coordinadora del proyecto. El perfil de los prisioneros a quienes Memorial envía las cartas es diverso, desde minorías religiosas hasta disidentes rusos. “Hay ciudadanos rusos que se han opuesto a la guerra en Ucrania, ya sea manifestándose en la calle o por internet. También hay opositores al régimen de Putin: periodistas, investigadores. También hay ucranianos ex soldados o civiles que fueron arrestados en territorios hoy ocupados por los rusos”, añade la coordinadora. En su página web especifican recomendaciones sobre los temas que se deben evitar. Para que las cartas lleguen a los presos, es fundamental no incluir contenidos que puedan ser censurados. No se debe criticar el sistema judicial ni el Estado ruso, preguntar sobre el caso del preso o su vida antes de la detención, mencionar temas LGBTQ+, dar un apoyo demasiado explícito ni usar palabras extranjeras. “Todas las cartas son leídas por alguien que se encarga de la censura, entonces hay ciertos temas que hay que evitar: las críticas al régimen de Putin, la guerra en Ucrania…”, enumera Katia Zhdanova. La ONG Memorial invita a todo el mundo a participar en esta tarea para poner de manifiesto el apoyo a la oposición democrática en Rusia y mostrar a los centros penitenciarios que, para cada preso, hay personas que se preocupan por él.

For 26 December 2025, Memorial of St. Stephen, Protomartyr, based on Acts 6:8-10; 7:54-59

In this special 2025 memorial broadcast, Cat81 Radio honors the life and legacy of Chris Manguso, aka Goose. This tribute reflects on a profound friendship built over 31 years of working together, during which Goose served for many years as my driver engineer, a role he carried out with professionalism, trust, and heart. After retirement, Goose was diagnosed with cancer and, following a courageous journey, eventually succumbed to his illness.The program also honors Goose as a devoted father to Paulie Manguso, and the deep friendship he shared with Dave Dorsette, who knew him better than anyone other than Paulie. In a final act of brotherhood and respect, I had the honor of driving Goose in the caisson unit to his final resting place here on earth. This 2025 memorial stands as a reflection of love, service, and faith—and a testimony of hope, as I look forward to seeing Goose once again in heaven.

The Menorah was the most adopted symbol in the Jewish world. But where is the original?   We know of a Menorah in Rome in 70CE. The Talmud tells us it was examined. But what follows is centuries of silence    What does History tell us? What do eyewitnesses report? What has the Church said? And what role does the 2nd Temple Menorah have, in the redemption of the Jewish People?   This episode is the outcome of the most up-to-date research and analysis and includes a recently recorded conversation with a Rabbi who entered the Vatican cellars 55 years ago accompanied by Pope John Paul II.   Timestamps: - 0:00 — Opening:    - 0:38 — Podcast intro (host & Rabbi Hersh).   - 1:14 — Memorial/announcements.   - 2:17 — Episode topic introduced: “Where is the menorah?”   - 4:00 — Menorah as Jewish symbol; historical significance.   - 8:00 — Arch of Titus / Josephus / early Roman display.   - 10:00 — Fire in 191 CE and disappearance possibilities.   - 15:00 — Jews in ancient Rome / social context.   - 20:00 — Constantine/Byzantine period and relocation theories (312 CE).   - 25:00 — Christian adoption/use of menorah imagery.   - 30:00 — Vatican holdings, openness, and inventories.   - 34:30 — Eyewitness claims overview; Rabbi Stencil letter exchange.   - 40:00 — Oscar Goldman 1962 account (electrician shown items).   - 41:30 — 1970s rabbi's underground Vatican visit description.   - 52:40 — Testimony analysis: credibility issues and scholarly skepticism.   - 1:03:47 — Theological point: first‑ vs. second‑Temple vessels and redemption.   - 1:10:00 — Halachic notes on making/holding menorah replicas; closing.

The three also share some thoughts on the first-ever "Golf Channel Games" and find that the format might be the best "alt-golf" viewer experience yet. Unfortunately for the broadcast and its advertisers, no one was suckered into wagering on the event. Andy departs for his own mega-podcast session with Tom Doak, leaving Brendan and PJ to carry the baton for this look back at May and June. PJ begins with the Charles Schwab Challenge, a week where the olds took over both Colonial (on the PGA Tour) and Congressional Country Club (on the Senior Tour). He recaps his drive to DC to take in the Senior PGA in-person and provides plenty of Don Rea content for those wanting more from Part 7. Brendan then heads to "Jack's Place," now a proper noun on big letter hats, for the Memorial presented by Workday. Ben Griffin couldn't go back-to-back starts with a win as he was chased down by - who else? - Scottie Scheffler. Rickie Fowler also used his sponsor exemption for good, qualifying for The Open with a top-ten finish! Joseph LaMagna then joins the recording as PJ shares Cameron Young's triumph at U.S. Open Sectional Qualifying and his ensuing close call at the Canadian Open. The Canadian Open also featured the pro debut of Luke Clanton, who was being treated like Cooper Flagg by the PGA Tour ahead of this momentous occasion. Finally, Brendan, PJ, and Joseph recap the third men's major of the year, the U.S. Open at Oakmont Country Club. They discuss the first-ever episodes of Lunch With The Boys, so much "Championship Rain," and J.J. Spaun's movies of choice, among other amusements from the week. Monday's episode will be a mega-recording as we attempt to finish the Open Championship ahead of Christmas!

In this episode of the EMS One-Stop podcast, host Rob Lawrence revisits an issue close to the heart of every EMS professional: creating a permanent National EMS Memorial in Washington, D.C. Rob is joined by Tony O'Brien and James Robinson from the National EMS Memorial Foundation to provide a clear, candid update on where the project stands, why it matters, and what still needs to be done. From the Weekend of Remembrance to the dream of a year-round place of solace and reverence in the nation's capital, this conversation lays out the long road from idea to reality — and why EMS, as James puts it, truly deserves this. Tony and James walk listeners through the 24-step federal Commemorative Works Act process, the hard work of narrowing 312 potential sites down to three, and the current push to reauthorize the Foundation's federal authority through House Resolution 2196 and Senate Bill 2546. They explain the preferred site in front of the Hubert H. Humphrey Building (HHS), the partnership with MIT's School of Architecture and Urban Risk Lab on a powerful design, and the practical realities of funding, sponsorship and bureaucracy. Most importantly, they end with a clear call to action for the EMS community: contact your elected officials, donate what you can, and help spread the word so that a permanent memorial to EMS can finally take its place in Washington, D.C.

An extract from a soundwalk around this water feature in Hyde Park, London. It's an oval granite channel measuring between 6 and 10 meters wide, and about 50 by 80 metres in diameter. Water flows across a varied surface cut into the granite, creating calm ripple sounds, fast torrents, turbulent bubbling…  Recorded by Paul Wheeler.

Sunday morning message from Pastor Jonathan Barber. December 14, 2025

Gospel Matthew 17:9a, 10-13 As they were coming down from the mountain, the disciples asked Jesus, "Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?" He said in reply, "Elijah will indeed come and restore all things; but I tell you that Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him but did to him whatever they pleased. So also will the Son of Man suffer at their hands." Then the disciples understood that he was speaking to them of John the Baptist. Reflection In this gospel Peter, James and John have just witnessed the Transfiguration. Jesus turning into light. Enlightenment. And there on either side is Elijah, the prophets and Moses, the law. And what it's saying clearly to the disciples that there is a radical change coming where all that has gone before will be transformed into something radically new, called the Kingdom of God. It's important to recognize all the stages that went into this transition, because in a sense, we all go through something like that, leaving behind that which is not really productive and entering into a productive kingdom of God. Closing Prayer Father, we have this major story, and yet we today are living in the final times. We're living in the time of the Kingdom of God. Help us to discern the work that we are engaged in as we continue to move forward and not fall back into things that lead to violence, destruction. The Kingdom of God that is being established is about life, hope, love, connection. And we ask this in Jesus' name, Amen. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them goes astray, will he not leave the ninety-nine in the hills and go in search of the stray?

In just the same way, it is not the will of your heavenly Father that one of these little ones be lost.” Memorial of Saint Juan Diego Cuauhtlatoatzin Saint Juan, pray for us!

Today’s Topics: Father Raymond of the Blessed Sacrament joins Terry 1, 2, 3, 4) Gospel – Luke 1:26-38 – The angel Gabriel was sent from God to a town of Galilee called Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man named Joseph, of the house of David, and the virgin’s name was Mary. And coming to her, he said, “Hail, full of grace! The Lord is with you.” But she was greatly troubled at what was said and pondered what sort of greeting this might be. Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. Behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a Son, and you shall name Him Jesus. He will be great and will be called Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give Him the throne of David his father, and He will rule over the house of Jacob forever, and of His Kingdom there will be no end.” But Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I have no relations with a man?” And the angel said to her in reply, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. Therefore the Child to be born will be called holy, the Son of God. And behold, Elizabeth, your relative, has also conceived a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month for her who was called barren; for nothing will be impossible for God.” Mary said, “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. May it be done to me according to your word.” Then the angel departed from her. Memorial of Saint Saint , pray for us! Bishop Sheen quote of the day
