TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ https://www.bastabugie.it/8660I MARTIRI SPAGNOLI DI BARBASTRO Il 20 luglio del 1936, durante la guerra civile spagnola, circa sessanta uomini della milizia irruppero, armati, nel seminario dei Missionari Figli del Cuore Immacolato di Maria (o Clarettiani) di Barbastro. Catturarono e incarcerarono tutta la comunità missionaria e senza giudizio la condannarono a morte per il solo motivo che i suoi membri erano religiosi. Fu proposta loro la libertà in cambio della rinuncia alla fede. Tutti preferirono rimanere fedeli anche se sapevano che questa scelta sarebbe costata la vita. Morirono in 51, esclusi due studenti di nazionalità argentina e sette fratelli coadiutori (sei anziani e uno scambiato per un laico), uccisi in cinque gruppi nei giorni 2, 12, 13, 15, 18 del mese di agosto. Sono stati beatificati il 25 ottobre 1992 da san Giovanni Paolo II. Le loro reliquie sono venerate dal 1939 nella chiesa che i Missionari Claretiani hanno dedicato al Cuore Immacolato di Maria, nella stessa casa in cui vissero.La congregazione dei Missionari Figli del Cuore Immacolato di Maria, o Clarettiani dal nome del fondatore, sant'Antonio Maria Claret y Clarà, aveva instaurato nel 1869 una casa nella cittadina di Barbastro, presso Huesca, nell'omonima diocesi, suffraganea di quella di Saragozza, in Aragona.All'inizio dell'insurrezione in Spagna, che diede poi avvio alla guerra civile, i Clarettiani avevano trasferito a Barbastro gli studenti di teologia dell'ovest del paese, allo scopo di procurare ad essi un posto sicuro nei difficili momenti che tutti ritenevano inevitabili.Iniziarono, difatti, ben presto, in diverse città della Spagna, atti di vandalismo contro chiese e conventi, sotto lo sguardo indifferente delle deboli e indecise autorità della repubblica.A Barbastro fu proibito l'uso delle campane, la consuetudine di portare le salme dei defunti in chiesa, e di intonare pubblici canti funerari. Il cimitero, proprietà del capitolo, fu sequestrato, e distrutto il seminario con la sua cappella.Il 18 giugno 1936 la comunità dei Clarettiani era composta da 60 religiosi, di cui 9 sacerdoti, 39 studenti e 12 fratelli coadiutori. Di essi furono risparmiati 2 studenti perché di nazionalità argentina, 6 fratelli coadiutori perché molto vecchi e malati, 1 fratello coadiutore cuoco perché, vestendo in borghese, fu ritenuto un operaio.I superiori, conforme alla legge vigente, per fare abbreviare di tre mesi agli studenti il servizio di leva, avevano cominciato a farli addestrare da due militari in pensione, con l'uso, però, soltanto di fucili di legno.Il governatore militare della piazza aveva assicurato che non avrebbero avuto fastidi, invece, quando il 19 luglio 1936 ebbe inizio la rivoluzione a Barbastro, diretta dal comitato centrale di Barcellona, cominciarono le inquietudini.UN MARTIRIO COMUNITARIONella mattina del 20 i religiosi fecero, in chiesa, un'ora di adorazione davanti al SS. Sacramento per ottenere protezione dal cielo e, nella serata, circa 60 miliziani, armati, invasero l'Istituto con il pretesto di cercare le armi che vi erano nascoste. Accorsero padre Felipe de Jesús, superiore, padre Juan Diaz, prefetto del teologato e padre Leonzio Pérez, economo.Nonostante le accurate ricerche e il mancato ritrovamento delle armi, i religiosi furono perquisiti e poi trasferiti nel collegio degli Scolopi, e sistemati a pian terreno, nel salone degli atti accademici, cosicché uomini e donne poterono vomitare contro di loro i più volgari insulti attraverso le finestre prospicienti la piccola piazza del municipio.Padre Luis Masferrer, sacerdote da pochi mesi, aveva approfittato di una circostanza propizia per salire alla cappella, e prendere con sé il SS. Sacramento onde evitarne la profanazione. Durante la perquisizione erano, difatti, rimaste aperte le porte di casa e, mentre i religiosi erano costretti a restare uniti nel cortile interno dell'Istituto, la plebaglia si era già impadronita della casa.Dal salone degli atti, nel quale i Clarettiani subirono indicibili torture morali, essi uscirono in quattro schiere per essere trasportati in camion, legati con le mani incrociate dietro le spalle, e a due a due per le braccia con corde e fili di ferro, sul luogo della fucilazione senza un processo, senza una difesa, senza una sentenza, ma soltanto in seguito a un appello nominale dei vari gruppi.Più volte i miliziani, prima di farli salire sul camion, promisero loro la libertà se avessero accettato di andare a combattere contro i fascisti, cioè gli insorti nazionalisti militari. Nessuno degli studenti accettò la proposta. I comunisti li fucilarono, tra la mezzanotte e le 4 del mattino, al lume dei fari del camion, senza la presenza di testimoni.Di mano in mano che scendevano dal camion li mettevano in fila, prima nel cimitero, di fronte alla fossa aperta, e poi sul ciglio della strada che conduceva a Berbegal. Dopo qualche minuto li mitragliavano e davano loro con la rivoltella il colpo di grazia.I Clarettiani che restavano nel salone-prigione in attesa del martirio, durante la notte si abbracciavano, si baciavano vicendevolmente la fronte e i piedi, piangevano di gioia al pensiero che sarebbero stati fucilati presto, e si raccomandavano a coloro che li avevano preceduti nella gloria.Morirono al grido di «Viva Cristo Re!», «Viva il Cuore di Maria!», pregando, con nelle mani il crocifisso e la corona del rosario, per i loro nemici e perdonandoli. Prima di farli seppellire, coperti di calce viva, da zingari e da becchini, i miliziani ebbero cura di strappare i denti d'oro dalla bocca di coloro che li avevano.IL SACRIFICIO DEI SUPERIORII primi a dare la vita per Dio furono i tre superiori già nominati, rinchiusi prima nel carcere del Municipio e poi in quello delle Cappuccine. I comunisti poterono così mandare ad effetto il loro piano di «tagliare la testa ai capi della fabbrica dei corvi». Il loro martirio ebbe luogo all'alba del 2 agosto 1936, nel cimitero vicino all'ospedale.In seguito alle proteste dei medici, le fucilazioni furono fatte anche sulla strada di Berbegal. I malati rimanevano scossi al crepitio dei fucili e al gemito dei condannati a morte.Padre Felipe de Jesús Munárriz era nato in Allo (Navarra) il 4 febbraio 1875 da una famiglia profondamente cristiana. Aveva fatto la prima professione dei voti tra i Clarettiani di Cervera nel 1891, era stato ordinato sacerdote in Vitoria nel 1898 e, per oltre 20 anni, si era dato alla formazione dei giovani aspiranti alla vita dei Missionari Claretiani. Morì in qualità di superiore, carica che egli esercitò molto paternamente. Fu un fratello coadiutore di fervente carità, di eminente pietà, di tenera devozione alla SS. Vergine secondo il metodo di san Luigi Maria Grignion de Montfort.Padre Juan Diaz Nosti era nato nelle Asturie il 18 febbraio 1880. A 13 anni era entrato nel postulantato di Barbastro, nel 1897 aveva emesso i voti a Cervera e, nel 1906, era stato ordinato sacerdote nel duomo di Saragozza. Ebbe esimie doti di oratore, che esercitò nella predicazione, nonché di re, che esercitò nell'insegnamento. Morì, difatti, mentre faceva scuola di teologia morale agli studenti del 5° corso.Padre Leoncio Pérez Ramos era nato il 12 settembre 1875 in Muro de Aguas (Logrono), aveva fatto il noviziato e la professione religiosa nel 1893 a Cervera, ed era stato ordinato sacerdote in Miranda de Ebro, nel 1901. Per tutta la vita andò soggetto a frequenti emorragie, motivo per cui fu costretto a limitare la sua attività al ministero delle confessioni.I miliziani avevano separato i tre superiori dagli studenti con la speranza di riuscire più facilmente nell'intento di farli apostatare. Invece nessuno rinnegò la propria vocazione, benché non mancassero loro allettamenti, promesse, minacce e, persino, la profferta di prostitute nude.Essi attribuirono a una speciale Provvidenza del Signore il fatto che i comunisti non tolsero loro gli oggetti di devozione che portavano con sé: il breviario, il crocifisso, la corona del rosario, le medaglie.Fino al 26 luglio furono persino in grado di fare, di nascosto, la comunione con le ostie che venivano loro distribuite insieme al pane e alle stecche di cioccolato. Quando agli Scolopi non fu più permesso di celebrare la Messa, si limitarono a farla spiritualmente.AL MARTIRIO CANTANDOIl seminarista Faustino Pérez Garcia, venticinquenne, il 12 agosto 1936 lasciò scritto, sopra uno sgabello di legno: «Trascorriamo il giorno in fratello coadiutore silenzio e preparandoci a morire domani. In questa sala, testimone delle nostre dure angustie, si sente soltanto il mormorio delle orazioni. Se parliamo lo facciamo per animarci a morire come martiri; se preghiamo, lo facciamo per perdonare ai nostri nemici. Salvali, Signore, non sanno quello che fanno».Quei candidati al martirio soffrirono, senza lamenti e in conformità a quello che Dio permetteva, della scarsezza del cibo, della privazione del vino, del razionamento dell'acqua, dell'afa estiva, della più assoluta mancanza di biancheria, di cattivi odori e del riprodursi dei parassiti.Di notte furono costretti a dormire per terra o sui banchi essendo stati privati dei letti, dei materassi e dei cuscini forniti loro dagli Scolopi. Di essi beneficiarono i miliziani giunti di rinforzo alle guardie.Il 13 agosto il gruppo condannato a morte era formato da 19 studenti, sotto i 25 anni, e da padre Luis Masferrer, di 24 anni. Nell'uscire dall'improvvisato carcere, il seminarista Juan Echarri, ventitreenne, disse ad alta voce a

Mary Stenson goes back to Fr Thomas O'Flynn's life of Frank Duff for a chapter on where Duff's spirituality came from: a man who read a book on the dangers of mystical experience and then prayed, with absolute fervour, that nothing of the kind would ever come his way. The discovery of de Montfort happened on a trip to Mount Melleray with a friend who drank, and the Legion itself began on the eve of Our Lady's birthday in 1921 with fifteen young women in Myra House. The second half is a recording of Venerable Fulton Sheen on parents whose children have left the Church, and on the difference between speaking to your children about God and speaking to God about your children.

Greg Willits joins the Son Rise Morning Show to explore the fourth and final means St. Louis de Montfort presents for obtaining Eternal Wisdom: receiving Jesus through His Blessed Mother, Mary. Drawing from God Doesn’t Hate Me After All: Discovering Louis de Montfort’s Love of Eternal Wisdom, Greg explains why entrusting ourselves completely to Mary is not about taking anything away from Jesus, but allowing her to lead us more perfectly to Him. He also unpacks de Montfort’s challenging language about becoming Mary’s servants and how Marian consecration can help us recognize the ways Jesus and Mary have been working in our lives all along.Support the show: https://www.sacredheartradio.com/donate-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Greg Willits joins the Son Rise Morning Show to continue exploring his book God Doesn’t Hate Me After All: Discovering Louis de Montfort’s Love of Eternal Wisdom. Together, they unpack St. Louis de Montfort’s challenge: What are we waiting for? Greg explains the two first means de Montfort gives for obtaining Eternal Wisdom—an ardent desire and continuous prayer—and why seeking Jesus Himself is the key to growing in virtues like humility, patience, and charity. They also discuss praying with strong, pure, and persevering faith, trusting God even when we don't receive immediate consolations or answers. The conversation offers an encouraging reminder to follow Jesus even when we don't yet feel His presence or understand where He is leading us.Support the show: https://www.sacredheartradio.com/donate-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

fWotD Episode 3392: Siege of Brest (1342) Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Tuesday, 18 August 2026, is Siege of Brest (1342).The siege of Brest took place in 1342 during the Breton Civil War. When John III, the Duke of Brittany, died childless in 1341 the title was contested by Charles of Blois and John of Montfort. Charles was the nephew of the French king, Philip VI (r. 1328–1350), who supported him with a large army. Charles invaded Brittany, making good progress and taking John prisoner. John's wife, Joanna of Flanders, took up the Montfortist cause and fought on. As France and England had been fighting the Hundred Years' War since 1337 Joanna appealed to Edward III, the English king, for military assistance, which was promised.It was slow in coming and the Montfortist forces were pushed back across Brittany. By July 1342 Joanna was besieged in Brest, the last Breton fortification held for the Montfort cause, by Charles and a large army. The town was blockaded from the sea by 14 mercenary Genoese galleys. On 18 August an English fleet of 260 ships, commanded by William of Northampton, sailed into the Brest Roads and overwhelmed the galleys, burning 11. The English ships carried only 1,350 fighting men, a force far smaller than that of the French army. But seeing so many English ships crowded into the Brest Roads and the English vanguard disembarking onto the beach, the French anticipated an attack by a vast host. Charles promptly broke off the siege and withdrew, abandoning western Brittany. The historian Jonathan Sumption describes this reaction as extraordinary. The English were reinforced over the next two months and held Brest until 1362. The Breton Civil War continued until 1365, the Hundred Years' War until 1453.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:14 UTC on Tuesday, 18 August 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Siege of Brest (1342) on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Stephen.

Send us Fan MailA boy kneels in a parish church, and Mary changes the trajectory of his life with one question. Two crowns are held out, one for purity and one for martyrdom and twelve-year-old Raymond answers with a courage that doesn't make sense unless grace is real: “I choose both.” That boy becomes St. Maximilian Kolbe, and his story is far more than a heroic moment at Auschwitz. It's a roadmap for Catholic life when faith feels pressured, distracted, or costly.We walk through Kolbe's spirituality at its center: total consecration to Mary, the Immaculata, as the sure path to belonging entirely to Jesus Christ. Drawing on the Catholic tradition and the influence of St. Louis de Montfort's True Devotion to Mary, we explain what consecration actually means in practice: entrusting your prayers, work, joys, and suffering to Mary's maternal care, living with Marian confidence, and letting her form Christ in you through the Eucharist, the Rosary, and daily virtue.Kolbe also challenges the way we think about mission. He founds the Militia Immaculatae and uses modern tools of his day printing, publishing, and radio to evangelize through Mary. From Poland to Japan, his global apostolate shows how Catholic evangelization can be both traditional and inventive. Then the story tightens into its hardest and most luminous scene: Auschwitz, where Kolbe steps forward for a condemned father and simply says, “I am a Catholic priest,” turning total consecration into total gift.If you've ever wondered whether Marian consecration is “too much,” or what it looks like when devotion meets real suffering, this conversation brings clarity and hope. Subscribe, share with a friend, and leave a review so more people can discover Kolbe's path of Eucharistic faith, Marian devotion, and courageous love.Open by Steve Bailey Support the showJourneys of Faith brings you Super Saints PodcastsVisit our blog for full text of our podcasts https://journeysoffaith.com/blogs/eucharist-mary-saintsDownload Journeys of Faith App for Iphone or Android FREE https://journeysoffaith.com/pages/download-our-appPlease consider subscribing to this podcast or making a donation to Journeys of Faith Help us Grow!Journeys of Faith is blessed to provide Catholic media, including podcasts and inspirational content, free of charge across multiple media platforms for viewers and listeners around the world.

We had a guest walk in with gooey butter bars, so you already know it was a good night. Deacon Michael Halbrook is back, his fourth trip to Tulsa (one more and Dave's putting him in a green jacket), and Lady Pamela's baking came with him. Adam's oldest, Luke, was in studio too, which almost never happens, because mom was away and there were no rules. Luke's been out most nights hunting the raccoon that's been picking off the family chickens. No kill yet. But he knows what he's after now, and that's half the hunt.This week's pour was fitting: Hazel Baker Kentucky Straight Bourbon, six years old, bottled-in-bond at 100 proof, family owned out of Louisville. It came from a barrel the dads at Father McGivney Catholic High School picked out in Kentucky. Full strength, real caramel, nothing watered down.-------------------------------This episode is brought to you by the Amen app from the Augustine Institute, the free app Adam's family uses to pray the Sunday readings on the way to Mass. No paywall, no subscription trap, just Scripture, prayer, and audiobooks like Divine Mercy in My Soul and True Devotion. And by Select International Tours, the group Adam and Dave trust for pilgrimages. Whether you want to lead one or join one, that's who you call.-------------------------------Then it got serious. Michael spent 18 years in corporate tech and walked away from it to build something for the Church. Not on a whim. He built it nights and weekends for years while the paycheck was still coming, took the business plan to his wife and sons like a board of directors, and only leapt when the runway made sense. But the moment that broke him open happened kneeling in the back pew before Mass. He asked our Lord for the certainty he could keep providing for his family, and he heard back, unmistakably: You've never been the one who provided. I've always been the one who provided.That's the whole episode in one line.Bishop Paprocki gave him the order of operations: pray for clarity first, then courage. Most men flip it and go charging into the dark. Michael talks through the discipline of saying no to good things so you can say yes to the right one, and then walks us through what he built, the &Altar app from Domus Formation. One reading, five minutes, a launch pad for your holy hour instead of a replacement for it. Pray, fast, give. A track for every season of life: the man, the woman, the family, the teen, the young adult, the elder.The back half is fatherhood. Michael's second son, Matthew, is at Air Force basic training right now (pray for him), and Michael's living the Establish pillar in real time. Protect and Provide, most of us understand. Establishing a son (raising him to walk on his own, then actually letting him go) is the hard one. They get into the father wound, the men who never had an example to copy, and the way out: be a good husband first and the father will follow. Because the office of father never ends, and neither do your prayers for your kids.Raise your glass.Topics covered in this episode:Deacon Michael Halbrook's fourth visit, Lady Pamela's gooey butter bars, and Luke's ongoing raccoon huntHazel Baker Kentucky Straight Bourbon, a bottled-in-bond barrel pick from Father McGivney Catholic High SchoolLeaving 18 years in corporate tech to build a ministry, without doing it recklesslyBuilding the thing on nights and weekends while the secure paycheck was still comingTaking the business plan to your wife and kids and making them the boardThe back-pew moment: "You've never been the one who provided.

Simó IV de Montfort

Adam's about to be Coweta's biggest celebrity. Porter and Prairie Farm's SEO game has worked so well that a Tulsa news station called wanting an interview about egg prices and how they're crushing family farms. Problem is, Adam has no idea what egg prices are doing anywhere else. He just knows what he charges, and that they've lost 35 chickens in two weeks. Lady Haylee, in her prudence, said maybe skip the interview. Adam already said yes. The real debate of the week: overalls or no overalls for the camera. Overalls, obviously. Carhartt, not blue jean, collared shirt underneath. Now both guys want branded farm overalls, Niles Ranch and Fecundity Farm for Dave, Porter and Prairie Family Farm for Adam.Sponsor: Amen app (from the Augustine Institute) The Amen app is the free Catholic prayer app the guys use to walk through the Sunday Gospel with their kids on the way to Mass, plus free access to classics like Divine Mercy in My Soul and True Devotion to Mary. No paywall, no subscription trap. Download the Amen app right now.Sponsor: Select International Tours When Adam and Dave planned their first pilgrimage, Select International Tours is who everyone pointed them to, and having used them, the guys can vouch for it. Wherever you want to go, head to selectinternationaltours.com and see what they offer.Dave's week wasn't any calmer. He harvested and shucked 500 to 700 ears of corn with the whole family, then blanched all of it late into the night while Lady Pamela held down a house full of unexpected company. His exact line on the way out the door: "I gotta go drink with my buddy for Jesus. It's a ministry, babe." Piglets are due any day, and this time he's praying they're born alive.The pour is a revisit: Salterra 14-Year Single Malt Scotch, finished in an Oloroso barrel, 48% ABV. Warm, not hot. Worth going back to.The prayer request is Mary. She's got an eye procedure Thursday, lasers, to make sure her retina stays attached so she doesn't go blind. She needs to put on weight first. Some days she gains 70 grams, some days she loses it. Thank you for praying. Keep it up.Then the real topic: what actually happens to your soul between the moment you die and the resurrection of your body. Can fire really burn something with no body to burn? Pulling from Aquinas's Summa, the guys walk through it. Your body dies, your soul doesn't, and it faces judgment immediately, heaven, hell, or purgatory on the way to heaven. The senses go dark since they run through bodily organs, but the intellect and the will, the parts that never needed a body to operate, stay fully awake. Aquinas's answer to the fire question: it doesn't burn the soul like a stove burns wood. It binds it. In sin, you subjected your higher self to a lower appetite, so in justice, a lower thing, fire, now holds your higher self captive. It's God's instrument, not chemistry.Then the bonus round: limbo. The limbo of the fathers, emptied by Christ at the Harrowing of Hell. The limbo of infants, never defined as dogma, still debated, and Dave's new coinage for where he thinks it actually belongs: limburgatory. A place with no suffering doesn't belong bolted onto hell.Protect what you love. Provide the truth even when it costs you something. Establish your kids in what's actually at stake.

Adam took the family on his parents' annual vacation this week, and Grandpa rented four jet skis. With a house full of kids, four turned out to be exactly the right number. Adam threw Luke off the back four times, which he's counting as a win. But the real event was the card game. If you've never played spoons with the Minihan family, know this going in: it ends in blood. Sheetrock has been broken. Tables have taken damage. Adam came home with a scratch, a bruise, and a loss he's still sore about. His sister Kaylin was his rival, so he spent the whole game yanking the spoons to the far end of the table just to make her fly for one. Then Grandpa broke out the karaoke machine after the kids went down, and Adam lassoed Lady Haylee into a duet of "Jackson." Every man should have a go-to karaoke song ready for when the moment finds him. Adam jokes, God help him, is "My Heart Will Go On."Dave, by his own admission, has no fun stories. He spent the weekend working himself to the bone, finished cutting his wheat, and pulled a good harvest. Adam brought up while his family was away, something got into the coop. A fox or a coyote, most likely, because a raccoon doesn't kill a dozen birds. They lost the four new chicks and the brooding hens. Chicken math giveth, and this week it took away.The pour is 1792 Full Proof, a single-barrel store pick from Broken Arrow Wine and Spirits, a Catholic-owned shop. It's barrel strength and it drinks hot. Jim, keeper of the yummy scale, gave it a 5.99 out of 6, then shrugged and told the guys to be indifferent to it. Which, as it happens, is the whole show.Because tonight the topic is holy indifference, and Adam frames it first through ordering your day. Reading Sertillanges' The Intellectual Life, he lands on a hard truth: you are not at the mercy of your mood, and the man who waits until he feels like it never starts. Order gets carried out precisely when you don't feel like it, because the hierarchy of what matters doesn't shift with how you feel. Decide what a good day looks like before the day begins. Get your three to five things done no matter what the highs and lows throw at you. Kill the second alarm. Don't become a slave to the pillow. Small time used faithfully beats big time used erratically. And guard your silence, because a scattered mind can't go deep, and the first place you feel the noise is in adoration.Then the turn. Holy indifference isn't apathy. It's the opposite. It's a hyper-preference, wanting the will of God so completely that you stop caring whether He sends riches or poverty, health or sickness, a long life or a short one. St. Ignatius calls it indifference to all created things. St. Francis de Sales sharpens it: the resigned man accepts God's will but still quietly prefers his own, while the indifferent man has let go of the preference itself. Wax in the hand. Clay in the potter's grip. Dave brings it home with the night a car stopped short in front of him and he thought, what if I'd just died? His first panic was, who takes care of my family? And the answer he heard was, do you think you're the one who takes care of them? Have they not always been Mine first? Protect, provide, establish, and then hold it all loosely. You can't abandon yourself to a God you don't trust, so build the faith that lets you trust Him. Raise your glass.TOPICS COVEREDAdam's family vacation and Grandpa renting four jet skis for a house full of kidsThe Minihan family spoons tournament that draws blood and breaks sheetrock, with Adam's sister Kaylin as his rivalWhy every man needs a go-to karaoke song, and Adam roping Lady Haylee into a "Jackson" duetDave working himself to the bone all weekend with no story to show for itDave finishing the wheat harvest and losing a dozen chickens to a predator while the family was away"Chicken math," and why your flock is a moving number and never a static oneBourbon of the week: 1792 Full Proof, a single-barrel store pick from Broken Arrow Wine and SpiritsJim's yummy scale verdict: a 5.99 out of 6, delivered with a shrugOrdering your day so you're not at the mercy of your moods, from Sertillanges' The Intellectual LifeDeciding what a good day looks like before the day even beginsKevin O'Leary, Steve Jobs, and getting your three to five things done regardless of the highs and lowsGuarding your focus: the Brick, one alarm, no snooze, and refusing to be a slave to the pillowWhy small time used faithfully beats big time used erraticallyWhy living well for your family is harder than dying for itRecollection over noise, guarding silence, and why you feel a scattered mind first in adorationCatholic freedom as the ability to choose the good, not the license to do whatever you wantHoly indifference as a hyper-preference for God's will, not apathySt. Ignatius on indifference to health or sickness, riches or poverty, honor or dishonorSt. Francis de Sales on the difference between resignation and indifference, and the image of wax in the handThe daily offering, and Adam's "Lord, take it all from me" prayer in adorationThe detachment exercise: if a tornado took your house, would you still trust Him?Dave's near-death moment and the words he heard: do you think you're the one who takes care of your family?"Hold on loosely, but don't let go," and why you can't abandon yourself to a God you don't trustREFERENCED IN THIS EPISODEBooks & Writings:The Intellectual Life by A.G.

An Adoration and A Special Rosary with Reflections Pilgrimage Take a special spiritual pilgrimage and join several dozen pilgrims in Eucharistic Adoration and the praying of the Rosary. Each decade of the Rosary is accompanied by thoughtful reflections designed to deepen your meditation and prayer. At the beginning of this pilgrimage, St. Louis de Montfort speaks about what he considered the single greatest mistake made by many who pray the Rosary. Listen carefully to his words and discover how this timeless wisdom can enrich your own devotion. As the pilgrims at the Shrine kneel before the Blessed Sacrament exposed in the Monstrance, we invite you to create a prayerful atmosphere in your own home. If possible, place a crucifix or cross nearby as you pray the Rosary. You may also wish to light a candle, provided it can be done safely, as a visible reminder of Christ's presence and the light of faith. For those who wish to proceed directly to specific portions of the pilgrimage: Gospel and Homily: approximately 13:40 Rosary and Reflections: approximately 24:27 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- This bilingual evening of Eucharistic Adoration and Rosary at the Shrine . . . . . . centers on the Blessed Virgin Mary as the one who leads souls to Jesus Christ, the source of all grace. Drawing from the Gospel of the Annunciation (Luke 1:26-38), the Homily reflects on Mary's title as “Full of Grace” and presents her as the Mediatrix through whom Christ entered the world and through whom believers continue to encounter Him. The Homily also emphasizes St. Louis de Montfort's teaching that Christians should begin the Rosary by identifying the particular grace they most need, entrusting their intentions to Our Lady with confidence. Against the backdrop of gathering darkness, the candlelit prayer becomes a symbol of faith, hope, and Christ's victory over sin and death. A recurring theme throughout the evening is Mary's role as the “Star of the Sea,” guiding pilgrims safely through the changing seas of life toward the eternal harbor of salvation. The Rosary includes reflections before each decade. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Art Work Madonna di Foligno: Italian Painter: Raphael: 1511 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Why was this Painting Selected: Mary appears enthroned in glory with the Christ Child while serving as an intercessor between heaven and earth. The painting beautifully reflects the homily's theme of Mary as Mediatrix of Grace, bringing souls to Christ. On the left are the kneeling are St. Francis of Assisi and St. John the Baptist.

Storing Up Treasures in Heaven In this Homily, Jesus calls His disciples to store up treasures in heaven rather than on earth. The Homily explains that during biblical times people commonly measured wealth through fine clothing, gold and silver, abundant harvests, honor, and power. Yet all these earthly treasures are temporary. Clothes wear out, food decays, wealth can be stolen, and worldly achievements eventually pass away. Through examples such as the rich man and Lazarus and the parable of the rich fool, Jesus reminds His followers that material possessions cannot provide lasting security or eternal life. The Homily emphasizes that the true treasure of heaven is Jesus Christ Himself. Quoting Saint Louis de Montfort . . . “To have Jesus is to have everything” . . . and Saint Augustine's teaching to love God above all things and love everything else for God's sake, the Homily invites us to examine our priorities. What Occupies Our First Thoughts What occupies our first thoughts in the morning and our final thoughts at night? God asks not only for our love, but for our supreme love. When God becomes the highest good in our lives, all other gifts . . . family, friendships, work, talents, and possessions . . . find their proper place. The challenge of Christian discipleship is to make God our greatest treasure so that our hearts remain fixed on Him. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Art Work Painting: Sermon on the Mount: Carl Bloch (1834 -1890) -------------------------------------------------------------------- Gospel Reading: Matthew 6:19-23 First Reading: 2 Kings 11:1-4, 9-18, 20 -------------------------------------------------------------------- Why this Image Was Selected: This painting portrays Christ teaching the very principles that form the foundation of the Homily. It captures Jesus instructing His followers about heavenly values, spiritual priorities, and the eternal kingdom.

Send us Fan MailIn the explosive series finale of this arc (Episode 266 of Werewolf the Podcast: A Serial (Killer) Drama), Fairy Foxglove delivers a chilling, unhinged monologue about the death of belief, the kidnapping of children's belief factories, and her vengeful transformation from a creature of wonder into a sadistic killer. Trapped in her reality-warping fairy bubble on a kitten-infested battlefield, she attempts to permanently murder the immortal Professor Simon de Montfort—only for Lucifer (the Devil herself) to intervene with a clever domain twist. Watch (or listen) as Wil/Fen the giant black werewolf charges in, the Wing Commander and Lady Luck join the fray, horror kittens rampage, and swords fly in a brutal, darkly hilarious climax. Featuring Foxglove bisected, the collection of the mysterious Law of the Rings (via Amazombies), and Wil's naked demand for more murder—this episode blends supernatural horror, fairy mythology, Hell politics, sharp British banter, and over-the-top violence with laugh-out-loud absurdity. Perfect for fans of dark fantasy audio dramas, horror comedy like What We Do in the Shadows or Good Omens, werewolf stories, Neil Gaiman-style myths, and chaotic supernatural battles. Is this truly "The End of the Law of the Rings"? The Lunatics know the chaos never truly stops.Written by Fenrir Thorvaldsen and Gregory Alexander-Sharp.

Adam's on the front porch watching one of those Oklahoma sunsets that make you forgive the state for everything else. Dave pulls up. Walks toward the house, chest out, confident, ready to record. Adam asks the only question that matters: did you bring the equipment? He did not. New baby syndrome. Joshua got his first bath that night, Lady Pamela's still on the mend and bending over a tub isn't on the menu yet, and somewhere between bathing the kids and getting out the door, the recording gear stayed home. So Dave logged a solid hour of windshield time driving back and forth across town to fetch it. The baby's worth it. Six days old and already back to birth weight, sleeping three hours at a stretch, an almost unfairly easy kid for a man who's had colicky ones before.The pour is a curveball: Saltire, a 14-year independent bottling distilled at Tomar, a first-fill Oloroso sherry cask. It's a Speyside, but nobody at the table would've guessed it. It drinks salty, like saltwater taffy, like it grew up near the ocean. The notes promise polished leather, dried cherries, tobacco, and, if you add water, burnt sugar, hazelnut, and "speckled chocolate milk," a phrase that derailed the conversation for a solid minute because nobody could agree what speckled chocolate milk is supposed to be. Cheers to Jesus. We're on the winning side.Then Adam reaches past the planned backbiting episode, grabs Francis Weiser's Handbook of Christian Feasts and Customs off the shelf, and lands on something better: the Solemnity of the Nativity of St. John the Baptist, June 24th.Here's the hook that got him. The Church only celebrates three birthdays. Jesus. Our Lady. And John the Baptist. Everybody else gets honored on the day they die, because for a saint that's the real birthday, the day they enter eternal life. So why John? The tradition says all three were born free from original sin. John wasn't conceived without it like Jesus and Mary, but he was sanctified in the womb when he leapt at the sound of Our Lady's voice at the Visitation. Born clean. St. Augustine treats it as a settled tradition, and if the Fathers are in, the guys are in.The logic of the date is the part that'll stick with you. June 24th rides the summer solstice, the longest day of the year, and from there the light starts to wane all the way down to Christmas and the winter solstice, when it turns and climbs again. John said it himself: I must decrease, so that He must increase. That's not just a calendar coincidence. It's a map of the soul. The more room you take up in your own heart, the less there is for Christ. If you want Him to be king there, you've got to get out of the way.Then the fun: how to actually live it. Put it on the calendar and get to Mass. Pray the Benedictus as a family and light a candle. Build a bonfire on the eve, John the Baptist is one of the three fires on the Catholic year. Feed the kids honey sticks and, if you're brave, dried crickets, locusts and wild honey, desert food. Make it the anchor of your summer. This is the Establish pillar in the flesh, the small traditions that hand your kids an identity they'll carry for life. Catholic spice. Raise your glass.TOPICS COVEREDDave forgets the recording equipment thanks to "new baby syndrome," and logs an hour of windshield time driving back for itJoshua Niles at six days old, back to birth weight and sleeping three hours at a stretch, an unfairly easy babyLady Pamela still recovering, and a dad bathing the kids to take the load offThe aside on Irish twins, baby formula, and why breastfeeding affects fertilityElizabeth Niles getting blessed by Pope Leo, and which popes "bless with their kisses"Whiskey of the week: Saltire 14-year, an independent bottling distilled at Tomar, first-fill Oloroso sherry caskA Speyside that drinks salty, like saltwater taffy, and the mystery of "speckled chocolate milk"Dave's wheat experiment, tripling the planting and cutting it by hand with a scythe, and the open call for a small-scale wheat-farming expert to email the showThe broody-hen saga, abandoned eggs, four surprise chicks, and Adam's "apartment" trick for relocating broody hens at nightWhy the episode pivoted from a planned backbiting topic to living liturgicallyFrancis Weiser's Handbook of Christian Feasts and Customs as a source for feast-day livingThe Solemnity of the Nativity of St. John the Baptist on June 24thWhy the Church celebrates only three birthdays: Jesus, Mary, and John the BaptistThe tradition that all three were born free from original sin, and John sanctified in the womb at the VisitationWho John was: son of Zechariah and Elizabeth, Zechariah struck mute, "no one greater born of women"The small-t tradition that John's parents died young and he was raised in the desert by angelsJohn as the forerunner and the "best man" escorting the bride to Christ the BridegroomFifteen churches dedicated to John the Baptist in ancient Constantinople aloneJohn as patron of tailors, shepherds, and masons, and why each one fitsWhy June 24th: the summer solstice and "I must decrease so that He must increase" as a map of the soulThe real reason it's the 24th and not the 25th: the Roman calendar counting backward from the kalendsWeiser's pushback on the idea that the feast was a baptized pagan partyJust how high this feast ranked in the early Church: three Masses, abstaining from servile work, and a 14-day fast prescribed by a German synod in 1022The other two feasts of John: the Decollation (Aug 29) and the East's celebration of his conception (Sep 23)St. John Paul II on Christ as door, vine, mother hen, and actual BridegroomTier-one celebration: put feast days on your calendar and get to Holy MassJoseph Pieper on a true feast requiring the divine and abundanceFamily traditions like pierogies, and how they hand kids a Catholic and ethnic identityPraying the Benedictus (Luke 1:68-79) as a family and lighting a candleTier-two celebration: a bonfire on the eve, the three fires of the Catholic year, and feeding the kids crickets and honey sticksTier-three celebration: making the feast the anchor of your family's summer vacationREFERENCED IN THIS EPISODEBooks & Writings:Handbook of Christian Feasts and Customs by Francis X.

fWotD Episode 3319: Siege of Hennebont Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Saturday, 6 June 2026, is Siege of Hennebont.The siege of Hennebont took place between late May and late June 1342 when the forces of Charles of Blois conducted an unsuccessful siege of the fortified port of Hennebont, commanded by Joanna of Montfort. The conflict was a part of the Breton Civil War, a dynastic dispute between two claimants to the Duchy of Brittany which had broken out the previous year. A complicating factor was the pre-existing Hundred Years' War between France and England. Philip VI of France was supporting Charles of Blois, his nephew; Edward III of England had promised military assistance to Joanna, the wife of the rival claimant, John of Montfort. A truce between France and England was in place when the siege started, but it expired in June.Charles's French army overran eastern Brittany and captured John of Montfort. Joanna took up the cause and concentrated her resources in Hennebont. In late May 1342 Charles moved on the town. On arrival, part of his army advanced against orders and attacked some of the town's defenders who were formed up outside its gate. More troops were pulled into this fight before the French were pushed back in a disorderly retreat. The Montfortists pursued, inflicting many casualties and burning the French camp. Two days later the French launched a series of better-planned assaults, but all were repulsed. The main French force moved on, leaving a detachment to attempt to starve the town into surrender. In late June, after a small English force had reinforced the town by sea, this too left. In July Charles was strongly reinforced and returned; the Montfortists abandoned Hennebont and redeployed further west, hoping for English reinforcements.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:57 UTC on Saturday, 6 June 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Siege of Hennebont on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm long-form Ruth.

Childlike Trust and the Path to Holiness Today's homily reflects on the message of Our Lady of Fátima apparitions and its enduring relevance for the modern world. The homily emphasizes that in the midst of the turmoil of 1917, during the First World War, Heaven chose not worldly leaders but three humble shepherd children to receive Mary's message. We are reminded that childlike trust and openness to God are essential for entering the Kingdom of Heaven. The central themes of the homily include praying the Rosary daily for peace, offering penance and repentance for sinners, and cultivating devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. True Devotion to Mary Must Come from the Heart, and … Drawing heavily from the teachings of Saint Louis de Montfort, the homily explains that true devotion to Mary must come from the heart, be rooted in trust, strive toward holiness, remain consistent through hardships, and move beyond self-interest into a genuine relationship with Mary that leads souls to Jesus Christ. The Gospel passage from Gospel of Luke is presented as confirmation that Mary's greatness lies in her perfect obedience to the Word of God, making her the model disciple for all Christians. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Art Work Song of the Angels: French Painter: William Adolphe Bouguereau: 1881

What is the Rosary—and where did it actually come from?In this episode of FACTS, Stephen Boyce and Pat May break down the real history behind one of the most misunderstood devotions in Christianity. Was the Rosary invented in the Middle Ages? Did Saint Dominic really receive it in a vision? And how do the The Gospel According to Luke, early monastic prayer, and centuries of Christian tradition all come together to form what we know today?We walk through the development step-by-step—from the Desert Fathers and repetitive prayer, to the formation of the Hail Mary, to the rise of the mysteries, and the global spread of the Rosary through figures like Pope Pius V and Saint Louis de Montfort.This isn't surface-level history. This is the making of the Rosary.If you'd like to donate to our ministry or be a monthly partner that receives newsletters and one on one discussions with Dr. Stephen Boyce, here's a link: https://give.tithe.ly/?formId=6381a2ee-b82f-42a7-809e-6b733cec05a7#Rosary #ChurchHistory #Catholic #FACTSPodcast #StephenBoyce #PatMay

Today’s Topics: 1) Gospel – John 10:22-30 – The feast of the Dedication was taking place in Jerusalem. It was winter. And Jesus walked about in the temple area on the Portico of Solomon. So the Jews gathered around Him and said to Him, “How long are You going to keep us in suspense? If You are the Christ, tell us plainly.” Jesus answered them, “I told you and you do not believe. The works I do in My Father's Name testify to Me. But you do not believe, because you are not among My sheep. My sheep hear My Voice; I know them, and they follow Me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish. No one can take them out of My Hand. My Father, Who has given them to Me, is greater than all, and no one can take them out of the Father's Hand. The Father and I are one.” Memorial of Saint Louis Mary de Montfort, Priest Memorial of Saint Peter Chanel, Priest and Martyr Saints Louis and Peter, pray for us!

Friends of the Rosary,Today, Tuesday of the Fourth Week of Tuesday, is the feast of St. Louis-Marie de Montfort (1673-1716), whose life is inseparable from his efforts to promote genuine devotion to Mary.Totus tuus (completely yours) was his personal motto; Karol Wojtyla chose it as his episcopal motto, too.Born in the Breton village of Montfort, near Rennes (France), Louis was a diocesan priest who preached throughout western France, ministered to the poor, and led a simple life, which sometimes got him into trouble with church authorities.In his preaching, which attracted thousands of people back to the faith, Father Louis recommended frequent, even daily, Holy Communion (not the custom then), and imitation of the Virgin Mary's acceptance of God's will.Louis founded the Missionaries of the Company of Mary (for priests and brothers) and the Daughters of Wisdom, who cared especially for the sick.His two books, The Secret of the Rosary and True Devotion to the Blessed Virgin, have become a classic explanation of Marian devotion.Louis died in Saint-Laurent-sur-Sevre, where a basilica has been erected in his honor. He was canonized in 1947.Alleluia!

April 28th, 2026:  St Louis de Montfort's True Devotion to Mary 

Send us Fan MailA barefoot missionary priest walks muddy roads with almost nothing, and somehow his message reaches popes, saints, and ordinary families centuries later. That's the kind of spiritual staying power St. Louis Marie de Montfort has, and we're taking you step by step through why his Marian devotion still feels surprisingly practical for daily life.We talk about who de Montfort is, what France is like at the dawn of the eighteenth century, and why his preaching lands like a “revolution of the heart” in a time of spiritual coldness, weak catechesis, and the spread of Jansenism. From there we move into the heart of his teaching from True Devotion to Mary: “to Jesus through Mary” as a real plan for discipleship, not a religious catchphrase. We unpack what “true devotion” means as an interior relationship of love, trust, and imitation, and why total consecration is about handing over our prayers, works, joys, and sufferings so Mary can purify them and present them to Christ.You'll also hear us explain the traditional 33-day preparation, the startling phrase “holy slavery of love” as freedom through surrender, and why humility and hiddenness matter so much in Catholic spirituality. We spend time on the Rosary as a school of Marian devotion, Mary's intercession in seasons of struggle, and the role of the Holy Spirit as the hidden fire behind every authentic Marian life.If you're exploring Marian consecration for the first time or trying to return to prayer with new seriousness, come walk this path with us.

28 DE ABRIL – SAN LUIS Mª GRIÑÓN DE MONTFORT, PRESBÍTERO

Full Text of Readings Monday of the Fourth Week of Easter Lectionary: 279 The Saint of the day is Saint Louis Mary Grignion de Montfort Saint Louis Mary Grignion de Montfort's Story Louis's life is inseparable from his efforts to promote genuine devotion to Mary, the mother of Jesus and mother of the Church. Totus tuus (“completely yours”) was Louis's personal motto; Pope John Paul II chose it as his episcopal motto. Born in the Breton village of Montfort, close to Rennes, France, as an adult Saint Louis Mary Grignion de Montfort identified himself by the place of his baptism instead of his family name, Grignion. After being educated by the Jesuits and the Sulpicians, he was ordained a diocesan priest in 1700. Soon he began preaching parish missions throughout western France. His years of ministering to the poor prompted him to travel and live very simply, sometimes getting him into trouble with Church authorities. In his preaching, which attracted thousands of people back to the faith, Father Louis recommended frequent, even daily, Holy Communion—not the custom then!—and imitation of the Virgin Mary's ongoing acceptance of God's will for her life. Saint Louis Mary Grignion de Montfort founded the Missionaries of the Company of Mary, for priests and brothers, and the Daughters of Wisdom, who cared especially for the sick. His book True Devotion to the Blessed Virgin has become a classic explanation of Marian devotion. Saint Louis Mary Grignion de Montfort died in Saint-Laurent-sur-Sèvre, where a basilica has been erected in his honor. He was canonized in 1947, and his liturgical feast is celebrated on April 28. Reflection Like Mary, Saint Louis Mary Grignion de Montfort experienced challenges in his efforts to follow Jesus. Opposed at times in his preaching and in his other ministries, Louis knew with Saint Paul, “Neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who causes the growth” (1 Corinthians 3:7). Any attempt to succeed by worldly standards runs the risk of betraying the Good News of Jesus. Mary is “the first and most perfect disciple,” as the late Sulpician Father Raymond Brown described her.Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

The readings for this homily: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/041826.cfmFather Matthew Tomeny, MIC confronts our natural fears, from spiders to the darkness of a prison cell, by sharing the harrowing story of a Marian priestwho survived Auschwitz and a Soviet Gulag. He reveals that the true terror is not physical suffering, but the separation of our hearts from Christ through mortal sin. While the world fears death and hardship, the Easter season reminds us that Christ has conquered both. Father Matthew urges us to fear only the loss of our union with God, which is the only thing that brings true death. He cites St. Bonaventure and St. Mother Teresa, emphasizing that the secret to a fruitful apostolate lies not in brilliance or busyness, but in the quiet power of prayer at the foot of the Cross.The homily highlights the wisdom of Fr. George Machaj-Otis, who prayed to fear only dying without having toiled for the Church. Father Matthew explains that when we are united with God through prayer, we gain His perspective, seeing the loss of souls as the only true danger. He also celebrates the protective power of the Blessed Virgin Mary, quoting St. Louis de Montfort and the story of King John Sobieski at the Battle of Vienna. Just as Mary shelters her children like a hen with her chicks, she surrounds us with her imperial forces in our spiritual battles. Father Matthew encourages us to nestle close to Our Lady'sImmaculate Heart, where we find the peace to trust in her Son Jesus and the courage to fight for the salvation of souls without fear. ★ Support this podcast ★
