In today's readings and with the celebration of today's feast of the North American Martyrs, we are called to see the divine law and the precepts of the Church as freeing us and guiding us to Our Lord, to our heavenly home. The Pharisees of Jesus' day couldn't see this as they were too legalistic, but the martyrs who we commemorate today show how to live by the spirit of the law, that is to have a relationship with God, to die to self, to be freed from bondage to a purely strict observance of letter of the law and to be set on the way to freedom, to Heaven by both the spirit and the letter of the law of God.

In this episode, the dogs discuss the movie Devotion (1:00) and what it takes to become a saint (6:10). They pull from the Office of Readings (7:29), Bishop Barron (10:14), and Cardinal George (27:30), all while making too many baseball references. Mike closes the episode with a reference to the North American Martyrs (35:35) and his modest rebellion against becoming a semi-pro therapist (30:30). Quotes: "It's not morality that makes someone a saint." (Rob, 6:15) “God desires for us to be saints. It's not enough for us to behave properly; He wants a transformation of the heart.” (Mike, 7:50) “The desire on our hearts is that someone will crash land for us or that I will crash land for someone else… it calls to a deeper part of our humanity.” (Mike, 8:45) “What makes a saint is not moral virtue, but union with God.” (Connor, 11:25) “You become who you are and who you are meant to be in the measure that you receive your being from Him.” (Connor, 12:15) "You've been set free as children of God." (Connor, 12:40) “What God wants is to simply enjoy you, to enjoy being with you” (Connor, 22:50) “He can be anywhere He wants to be and He wants to be with us.” (Connor quoting Cardinal George, 27:50) “God's desire for us is to be with us.” (Connor, 28:35) "He continues to crash land to get me… it's often in those disasters that I feel least abandoned because I have to completely rely on grace and ask for His help and He provides it.” (Connor, 41:20) Media Mentions: Devotion (2022)Top Gun: Maverick (2022)Matthew 5:17 (fulfill the law)Matthew 5-7 (The Sermon on the Mount)Matthew 7:13 (narrow gate)Galatians 2:11- 3:14 (The just man shall live by faith)Genesis 37:3 (Joseph)Luke 15:11-32 (Prodigal Son)3DN S11 E32- The fourth port (2022 Three North Hangout)3DN S11 E27- Invitation to joy (Connor gets a dumb phone) References: Glen PowellJesse BrownOffice of ReadingsBishop Robert BarronFr.

The North American Martyrs are some of the most amazing men in history. They are 8 Jesuits who gave their lives to bring eternal life to the Hurons and other Native Americans. While they all have incredible stories, Fr. Charles Garnier (1606-1649) is known to have died because he stayed behind with a group of Petuns who were surely going to be massacred. The way he died highlights the importance of baptism and eternal salvation.

Le Pape François se rend au Canada, du 24 au 30 juillet 2022, pour une visite très attendue par les populations autochtones (plus de 50 nations, Amérindiens, Inuits, métis) : il devrait à nouveau présenter ses excuses, cette fois sur les terres canadiennes. Début avril 2022, il avait demandé pardon pour la première fois au nom de l'Église catholique à des délégations autochtones canadiennes qu'il avait reçues au Vatican, pour la responsabilité de l'institution dans les sévices, mauvais traitements et décès de nombreux enfants autochtones placés dans des pensionnats gérés en majorité par des catholiques. De 1830 à 1996, plus de 150 000 enfants autochtones y avaient été envoyés pour les évangéliser, en faire des petits Canadiens et « tuer l'Indien dans le cœur de l'enfant ». Environ 6 000 ne seraient jamais rentrés chez eux. La mise au jour, en mai 2021, de tombes anonymes d'enfants près d'anciens pensionnats autochtones a créé une onde de choc dans le pays. Malgré ces souffrances, de nombreux autochtones sont restés attachés à l'Église catholique. D'autres la rejettent, la considérant comme l'Église des Blancs et de la colonisation, et revendiquent désormais les spiritualités autochtones. Participants : Marie-Pierre Bousquet, professeure en Anthropologie, directrice du programme en Études autochtones à l'Université de Montréal Projets et publications : - « Savoir d'où l'on vient pour savoir où l'on va : l'histoire des Simo Sagihiganiwinnik mise en exposition ». - « La blessure qui dormait à poings fermés ; l'héritage des pensionnats autochtones au Québec »(avec la participation de Marie-Pierre Bousquet et de Jean-François Roussel) - « Dynamiques religieuses des autochtones des Amériques » (sous la direction de Marie-Pierre Bousquet et Robert Crépeau), (Ed.

In this episode, Pete is joined by Fr. Steve Pullis, the Director of Evangelization and Missionary Discipleship for the Archdiocese of Detroit. They remember attending classes together at Sacred Heart Seminary, then discuss what it actually means to unleash the Gospel, the seemingly small number of Catholics who would say they know Jesus, and some profound lessons from the North American Martyrs. Fr. Steve gets pretty pumped talking about these amazing missionaries. Then Pete concludes with Jeremiah 29:11 and unpacks, what he considers to be, a sweet line about God's faithfulness.

Father David Dufresne, a Parochial Vicar at the Basilica of Saint Mary, reflects on the North American Martyrs. Six Jesuit priests (John de Brébeuf, Isaac Jogues, Noel Chabanel, Anthony Daniel, Charles Garnier, and Gabriel Lalemant) and two lay assistants (René Goupil and Jean de la Lande) evangelized native peoples in North America and were martyred between 1624 and 1649 - five in present Canada and three near Auriesville, New York. This was recorded on October 19, the Memorial of the North American Martyrs. Founded in 1795, the Basilica of Saint Mary in Old Town Alexandria is the first Catholic parish established in Virginia. Pope Francis named the church a minor basilica on December 6, 2017 due to its important role in the growth of the Catholic Church in North America.

Martyrdom, writes Emma Anderson, is anything but random. In beautiful prose and spectacular historical detail, The Death and Afterlife of the North American Martyrs (Harvard University Press, 2013), takes readers on a journey of more than 300 years, exploring how a group of eight Frenchmen were selected from the amongst the thousands of victims of a brutal seventeenth-century encounter between natives and Europeans to become celebrated martyrs. Anderson explores the details of the deaths themselves, as well as the meaning of ‘good deaths’ in Iroquois and European cultures, before turning to the saints’ afterlives, their continual remembering and reinvention in the “popular, protean collective imagination from their time to our own.” Myriad voices come together in the book’s pages, each one claiming and contesting the meaning of the Jesuits’ deaths, continually refashioning the religious and national identities bound up in the politics of martyrdom.

Summary of today's show: In anticipation of Cardinal Seán O'Malley's live town hall meeting on physician-assisted suicide later in the evening, Scot Landry and Fr. Matt Williams took a look back at this past weekend's Red Mass with the Catholic Lawyers Guild of Boston and the homily from Cardinal Seán in which he addressed the same topic, using examples from the Good Samaritan to Mother Teresa to proclaim that true compassion does not assist suicide but provides loving care and personal dignity to the dying. Listen to the show: Watch the show via live video streaming or a recording later: Today's host(s): Scot Landry and Fr. Matt Williams Links from today's show: Today's topics: Cardinal Seán addresses physician-assisted suicide at the Red Mass 1st segment: Scot Landry welcomed everyone to the show and said tonight on CatholicTV and WQOM will be the live town hall forum with Cardinal Seán, Janet BEnestad, Fr. Tad PAcholczyk, Dr. John Howland and Mary Ann . Scot asked Fr. Matt Williams about a birthday trip he took with his father to the Shrine of the North American Martyrs in Auriesville, New York. He said it was a wonderful, beautiful, peaceful shrine and place of pilgrimage. Scot said the martyrs at this particular location were three Jesuits, a priest, a brother, and a layman, martyred by native Americans: St. Isaac Jogues, St. Rene Goupil, and St. Jean de Lalande. St. Rene died on September 29, 1642, and Fr. Matt was there on the anniversary of that date. Scot said today's show will be a look at Cardinal Seán's homily from the Red Mass, the Mass at Holy Cross Cathedral with members of the Catholic Lawyers Guild of Boston last month. 2nd segment: Scot asked Rick to play the audio of Cardinal Seán's homily from the Red Mass. Scot said he began by saying the sovereignty of God comes before sovereignty of the state; that our rights come from God, not from the state. The lawyers' vocation is not just a job, but a calling to work for justice. He said our society values feeling over truth. Also he quotes de Tocqueville who said that individualism unrestrained would destroy our country. Laws are lifegiving and the laws of God give us eternal life. Cardinal Seán shared told a story about a pilot in World War II shot down over Germany who saw the face of love on those who found him and took him in and who would have seen him as an enemy. Fr. Matt said these lawyers the cardinal was addressing had the role—like all laity—to make holy the secular. They are called to a leaven of goodness, for the upbuilding of the kingdom of God. It should make every person ponder the meaning of our work and how that work is contributing to the building of the kingdom. Scot said sanctifying the world doesn't mean we're supposed to be praying aloud as we work, but to bring light to society through our work and uplift the dignity of the human person, make sure people are treated well. Fr. Matt recalled the example of Pope John Paul II in seeing every person as a unique gift. Scot and Fr. Matt then discussed the parable of the Good Samaritan as Cardinal Seán mentioned it in his homily. Forgiveness was brought up as was the idea that Jesus called the disciples to go beyond the minimum standard of not breaking the Commandments to doing everything one can to love. We are called to be compassionate to others, especially those who have hurt us. Now they listened to the second section of the Cardinal's homily. At the conclusion of the homily, Scot summarized what we heard: A call to defend those who are vulnerable, especially if physician-assisted suicide passes in the Commonwealth. Fr. Matt sad he can't recall that the cardinal has been more vocal about any other issue in his eight years here. Scot said the Cardinal said that Good Samaritan felt compassion for the victim of robbery, a person who was supposed to be his enemy. The Greek word used for compassion there is only used one other time in the Gospel: when Jesus had compassion on the crowds before the feeding of the five thousand. The sense of the word is that the need we see in others creates an obligation of love in us. Cardinal Seán talked about the witness of Mother Teresa, literally carrying the dying on her back to an abandoned former Hindu temple so they could die surrounded by the love of her sisters. The cardinal spoke about three close friends who are in the active dying process and said he speaks from firsthand experience. He said laws born out of emotion don't make the best laws. They are overly reactive. A good law must protect the vulnerable and this proposed legislation, Question Two, provides much more protection for those who assist others in taking their own life than it provides for the vulnerable. It doesn't require palliative care. It doesn't require them to consult a psychiatrist to ensure that their requesting suicide isn't born out of depression or other mental illness. It doesn't require that a spouse should be informed about the request for suicide. Fr. Matt said to have the heart of Christ is to have a heart for every person. He talked about how in youth ministry they do an exercise called the Lifeboat where the youth end up debating who deserves to stay in the theoretical lifeboat and who doesn't, rather than express that everyone deserves life. He then shared a conversation he had with a Buddhist about the value of every human being. Cardinal Seán finished his homily by talking about the epidemic of suicide in our culture. He said that the rate of suicide in the armed forces surpasses combat deaths. He said Oregon, where assisted suicide is legal, has a very high general suicide rate. How can a state that promotes suicide for one category of people and then say suicide is wrong for everyone else? the alternative is to build a civilization of love through palliative care and through hospice and other places where committed caregivers create love. Fr. Matt said as a priest it is a privilege to walk with families as the accompany a loved one on the journey at the end of life.
