The month of July is dedicated to the Precious Blood of Our Lord, Jesus Christ. Join Father Anthony and Sister Catherine as they explore the history of this feast and reflect on a meditation from the Franciscan Meditations. The prayer Sister read for us: Out of infinite love for us, O Divine Savior, You crucified Your Blood and Your Life. How could I resist such love! How can I dare to forfeit it! Keep me in Your love, O Jesus, source of my salvation and bliss.

Good morning! On today’s show, Matt Swaim and Anna Mitchell welcome Dr. Jim Papandrea to share more about the most famous ancient churches of Rome. Other guests include Karlo Broussard from Catholic Answers, and canon lawyer Fr. Philip-Michael Tangorra. Plus news, weather, sports, and a whole lot more… ***** Newman’s Fragrance Prayer Dear Jesus, help us to spread your fragrance everywhere we go. Flood our souls with your spirit and life. Penetrate and possess our whole being, so utterly, that our lives may only be a radiance of yours. Shine through us, and be so in us, that every soul we come in contact with may feel your presence in our soul. Let them look up and see no longer us but only Jesus! Stay with us, and then we shall begin to shine as you shine; so to shine as to be a light to others. The light, O Jesus will be all from you. None of it will be ours; it will be you shining on others through us. Let us thus praise you in the way that you love best by shining on those around us. Let us preach you with preaching: not by words but by our example, by the catching force, by sympathetic influence of what we do, the evident fullness of the love our hearts bear to you. Amen. ***** Fr. Patrick Riviere is online at ascensionpress.com. Christopher Carstens is online at christendom.edu. Cincinnati Right to Life is online at cincinnatirighttolife.org.

The loss of the spirit of contrition can take place whenever our hearts become hardened; when we grow sluggish in the spiritual life or our attention shifts off of our own sin and need for God‘s mercy and is redirected towards the things of the world or to the sins of others. The desert fathers pull back the veil on the human heart and reveal the motivation for our actions and thoughts. We often become very skilled at satisfying our morbid delight for seeing others weaknesses and their natural flaws and defects. Rather than keeping our focus upon contrition for our own sins and seeking purity of heart, we become preoccupied with our neighbor; judging them, becoming frustrated and irritated with them, pushing our opinions upon them, becoming upset when we do not receive what we believe we deserve or when we feel that we have been misjudged and slandered. Rather than having an eye for the needs of the other and instead of being tender and gentle in our attitude, we often see others as an obstacle to our happiness or our freedom. When we could be a source of peace and healing we become rough to the point that our interactions with others is akin to rubbing up against sandpaper. Those closest to us often elude us. Sometimes we do not know what to give and even what we do give may not be helpful or wanted. But we can still love them - we can love them completely. A human being is not someone we are called to fix, correct or judge, but rather one we are called to embrace with the same love and to offer the same consolation as we have received from Christ. --- 00:14:14 Bob Čihák, AZ: P. 245 first paragraph on this page 00:14:24 Janine: Suzanne..that sounds awful…I will pray for you! 00:14:41 Suzanne Romano: Thank you Janine!!!! 00:37:10 Catherine Opie: This is like being a parent as well 00:56:21 Lindsey Funair: thank you, that helps a lot 00:56:35 Bob Čihák, AZ: An invitation to be nosey? When an acquaintance once said something about a third person like "Yes, I know why he left that job but I'm not going to say why" it sounded like an invitation to get nosey, so I simply didn't respond at all, and went on my way. 00:57:44 Joseph: St. Maximos the Confessor writes, “Cut off the passions, and you will soon silence the senses. Restrain the senses, and you will easily calm the passions.” The goal of ascetic struggle, through repentance and bodily hardship, is not to reject the senses, but to purify them. The senses are not the cause of sin; rather, sin arises from the passionate response to the representations that the senses convey. The desert (silence) is a means of purification, to restore our noetic vision to health, so we can perceive sense data, sight, sound, touch, etc., without passion. This is the what we aim for anyway! 00:58:35 Joseph: From Second Century on Love, 2.15 01:03:34 Myles Davidson: The Litany of Humility springs to mind From the desire of being approved, Deliver me, O Jesus. From the fear of being humiliated, Deliver me, O Jesus. From the fear of being despised, Deliver me, O Jesus. et. al 01:06:35 Catherine Opie: St Teresa of Avila would say that anyone who slandered her was probably right. That really struck me when I read it. Because it is really the antithesis of what I was brought up to believe. 01:06:37 Myles Davidson: Rafael Cardinal Merry del Val y Zulueta 01:06:41 Lorraine Green: Marie del  val 01:14:08 Rebecca Thérèse: Thank you☺️ 01:14:26 Catherine Opie: Thank you Fr. God bless. 01:14:31 Julie: God bless 01:14:34 Lindsey Funair: thank you! 01:14:37 Suzanne Romano: Pax! 01:14:37 Lorraine Green: God bless

Happy feast of St. Isidore the Farmer! On today’s show, Matt Swaim and Anna Mitchell discuss his simple and profound witness of faith. Guests include Rita Heikenfeld with Bible Foods, Gary Michuta from Hands On Apologetics, and Courtney Brown from Ruah Woods with reflections on the Theology of the Body. ***** Prayer for God’s Mercy by Padre Pio O Lord, we ask for a boundless confidence and trust in Your divine mercy, and the courage to accept the crosses and sufferings which bring immense goodness to our souls and that of Your Church. Help us to love You with a pure and contrite heart, and to humble ourselves beneath Your cross, as we climb the mountain of holiness, carrying our cross that leads to heavenly glory. May we receive You with great faith and love in Holy Communion, and allow You to act in us as You desire for your greater glory. O Jesus, most adorable Heart and eternal fountain of Divine Love, may our prayer find favor before the Divine Majesty of Your heavenly Father. ***** RECIPES FROM RITA: GRILLED CARNE ASADA Ingredients 2 pounds skirt steak – can use flank or flat iron if necessary Carne Asada Marinade 1 jalapeño seeded and minced – or more to taste 4 cloves garlic minced – nice large ones 1/2 cup cilantro leaves chopped – Matt would use way more…. Juice from 1 of each: orange, lime and lemon 2 tablespoons cider vinegar 1/3 cup olive oil or bit more 1 teaspoon ground cumin 1 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper Instructions In a large glass baking dish whisk together Carne Asada marinade ingredients (jalapeño through black pepper) until combined. Add skirt steak in a single layer, turning to coat with marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, but no longer than 8 hours (longer will begin to break down the meat – if using flank or flat iron steak it can stay up to 12 hour or so). Grill steaks on medium high for 7 to 10 minutes per side (if they are each about 1 pound; if they are thinner they will take only a few minutes per side so take this into account), turning once for medium-rare. Remove steaks and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Slice thinly across the grain and serve. Great go withs: Blistered tortillas, guacamole, pico de Gallo, sour cream, salsa, Cotija cheese, lime wedges, etc. ***** Dr. Benjamin Reinhard, author of The High Hallow: Tolkien’s Liturgical Imagination Full list of guestsSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

O Bate-Pronto de hoje debaterá a nova recusa de Carlo Ancelotti à Seleção Brasileira. A CBF encontrou dificuldades para conseguir a liberação do italiano junto ao Real Madrid a tempo da próxima Data-Fifa. Somado a isso, um interesse milionário do futebol saudita fez o treinador sair definitivamente do radar da confederação brasileira. Jorge Jesus e Abel Ferreira são os nomes da vez?

You have come into the light of His Face. You are conscious of His Everlasting Arms.You are conscious of what was hidden. It says in the Gospel of Philip that Jesus is His hidden Name.It's been revealed to you.Call on It, sing It, shout It, share It. "I heard their voices and I treasured their faith in my heart. And I sealed My Name upon their foreheads. For they are free men and they are mine." -Odes of Solomon, John Davidson Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah.I love you, nik nikki@curlynikki.comPlease support the show: ▶▶https://www.patreon.com/goodmornings▶▶ Cash App $NikWalton __________________________________________Surrender Novena Day 9 - Father Dolindo Ruotolo"Pray always in readiness to surrender, and you will receive from it great peace and great rewards, even when I confer on you the grace of immolation, of repentance and of love. Then what does suffering matter? It seems impossible to you? Close your eyes and say with all your soul, “Jesus, you take care of it”. Do not be afraid, I will take care of things and you will bless my name by humbling yourself. A thousand prayers cannot equal one single act of surrender, remember this well. There is no novena more effective than this: O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything! (10 times)Mother, I am yours now and forever. Through you and with you I always want to belong completely to Jesus.Amen""See thoughts and feelings like a train that enters a station and then leaves; be like the station, not like a passenger." ~ Rupert Spira"Jesus" is a hidden name; "Christ" is a revealed name. So "Jesus" is not translated, but he's called by his name "Jesus." But the name "Christ" in Syriac is "Messiah," in Greek "Christ, and all the others have it according to their own language. "The Nazarene" reveals what's hidden. Christ has everything within himself, whether human or angel or mystery, and the Father."- Gospel of Philip "Take a deep breath, put a hand on your heart and repeat out loud: "It is safe for me to re-member who I was before I learned to hide." Deep breath. Thinking the world is not ready for your light is most likely your ego's way to rationalize your self repression. The earth has not only been ready for your light... now she demands it. If you think expressing your pain is vulnerable, try expressing your brightness without holding back." - @xavier.dagba

"You will succeed in all you do, and light will shine on your path." - Job 22:28 You know how when you walk into a Cathedral it's so quiet, that the quiet echoes? The silence echoes. That's how it is here right now. It's as quiet as His tomb, as empty as His tomb. Match My empty. Match My Silence. Feel His Love there. The air you think you're breathing is Love. Love that inhale. Love that exhale. He loves you. You can trust him. Tell Him you're scared. Tell Him to help you. Pray, 'save me, I need you. This is hard." And then linger in the Silence. Listen for Him in the Silence. Tell Him you're listening for Him in the Silence. I feel for Him in and AS the Silence, and I find Him every time.

Repose in me, believing in my goodness, and I promise you by my love that if you say “You take care of it” I will take care of it all; I will console you, liberate you and guide you.O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything! (10 times)Mother, I am yours now and forever. Through you and with you I always want to belong completely to Jesus.Amen"In fact, Mary is so silent that the evangelists say little about the Mother of God. She is entirely absorbed by contemplation, adoration, and prayer. She hides herself in Her Son; She exists only in Her Son. She disappears in Her Son (.) The attitude of Mary is that of listening. She is completely turned to the word of the Son. Mary does not speak. She simply wants to submit to God like a trusting child. Her fiat is tot a I and joyful. She intends to receive God's will through Jesus." - Robert Cardinal Sarah, The Power of SilenceIsaiah 43"God's timing might be sooner than you think. Be ready." - Unknown

"In My Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also." -John 14:1-3 What you thought was dead, look again.What you thought was impossible, He disagreed with you--feel the Promise of It. All you have to do is keep facing the Son, and letting these words water you, letting your practice work the soil, while you face the Son. While you feel the blooming, the flowering, the fruiting, the Law of Love. It must be. Whatever it is... it must be.

I sow treasure troves of graces when you are in the deepest poverty. No person of reason, no thinker, has ever perform miracles, not even among the saints. He does divine works whosoever surrenders to God. So don't think about it anymore, because your mind is acute and for you it is very hard to see evil and to trust in me and to not think of yourself. Do this for all your needs, do this all of you and you will see great continual silent miracles. I will take care of things, I promise this to you. O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything! (10 times)Mother, I am yours now and forever. Through you and with you I always want to belong completely to Jesus.Amen""I Come to Him Running The Prophet said, God Most High has said: When my worshipper's thoughts turn to Me, there am I with him. And when he makes mention of Me within himself, I make mention of him within Myself. and when he makes mention of Me in company, I make mention of him in a better company. Ifhe draw near to Me a hand's breadth, I draw near to him an arm's length; and if he draw near to Me an arm's length, I draw near to him the length of both arms wide outstretched; and if he come to Me walking, I come to him running. And if he meet Me with sins equivalent to the whole world, I will greet him with forgiveness equal to it." - The Mishkat Al- Masabih

You're seeing your lack of faith from Faith. You're seeing your lack of love from Love. Who is seeing?What is seen?The eyes report rock, tree, wall, person. But My Spirit is seeing Love, Love, Love, Love. It's seeing Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus. It's all His.That's why we pray, 'take care of it.'It's His anyway. Give it back.

Oh how much I wish from you this surrender, to help you and how I suffer when I see you so agitated! Satan tries to do exactly this: to agitate you and to remove you from my protection and to throw you into the jaws of human initiative. So, trust only in me, rest in me, surrender to me in everything. O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything! (10 times)Mother, I am yours now and forever. Through you and with you I always want to belong completely to Jesus.Amen"**********************************"Why do I not call on God? Why do I worry and invent plans?" -Charles Spurgeon"There is something within you that knows your true destiny, your very reason for being, the very masterpiece that you are in the midst of creating." -@saralandonlife"Open, open your hearts to the delightful joy of the Lord, and let your love overflow from the heart to the lips, to bring forth fruits to the Lord, living and holy, and to walk with watchfulness in His light. Rise up and stand straight, you who were once brought low. You, who were silenced, speak, for your mouth has been opened. You, who were cast down, be henceforth lifted up, for the Righteous One has brought you back to life. For the Right Hand of the Lord is with you, and will be your Helper. And peace was prepared for you, before your war began. So hear the Word of Truth, and receive the Knowledge of the Most High." - Ode 8, Odes of Solomon by John Davidson

"But me, I'm not giving up. I'm sticking around to see what GOD will do. I'm waiting for God to make things right. I'm counting on God to listen to me." - Micah 7:7This is how you know God is listening to you right now-pray the words, 'Jesus, you take over',and just hear those words.'Jesus, you take over.'If you heard only those words inside,even if there are ambient sounds,even though you're hearing my voice,even if there's a car alarm going off outside,if there are no other words inside, no other thoughts in you, but, 'Jesus, you take over',if your whole being is in agreement, meaning no secondary train of thought. Not praying, 'Jesus, I surrender myself to you', while thinking about what you need to do as soon as you're done praying.No, when your whole soul is praying,'Jesus, you take over', and you hear only that,the hearing is Him hearing.It's Him listening.It's Him answering.

(pray these words for countless blessings) "Prayers win battles. Prayer changes things. If words have power, imagine a prayerTalk to God, He misses you." - @betteryouliving "Jesus only performed miracles under one condition. From the water turned to win, to the healing of the paralytic, you cannot find a single example of a miracle without this. Of course, every miracle requires faith, but there also had to be one circumstance present in the persons life. Desperation. So if you feel like the situation is hopeless, if you feel too far gone, if you don't feel worthy, you are primed for a miracle! His heart is one of a Father in search of a prodigal child, a shepherd in search of a lost sheep, a physician in search of the sick, and a Savior who has come not for the righteous, but the sinners." - @dudewithgoodnews

"Until now you have not asked for anything in My Name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete."- John 16:24 You may say My Name at the end of your prayers,throughout your prayers, but you don't feel It. Up until now, It's just been a word to you. Up until now, you've asked for nothing in My Name.

Do not worry. Close your eyes and say to me with faith: "Thy will be done, You take care of it". I say to you that I will take care of it, and that I will intervene as does a doctor and I will accomplish miracles when they are needed. Do you see that the sick person is getting worse? Do not be upset, but close your eyes and say "You take care of it". I say to you that I will take care of it, and that there is no medicine more powerful than my loving intervention. By my love, I promise this to you.O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything! (10 times) Mother, I am yours now and forever. Through you and with you I always want to belong completely to Jesus. Amen""The world tells you many lies about who you are, and you simply have to be realistic enough to remind yourself of this. Every time you feel hurt, offended, or rejected, you have to dare to say to yourself: 'These feelings, strong as they may be, are not telling me the truth about myself. The truth, even though I cannot feel it right now, is that I am the chosen child of God, precious in God's eyes, called the Beloved from all eternity, and held safe in an everlasting belief." II Henri Nouwen"Once you find peace within yourself, you can find peace in the world. If you have equality within yourself, you will see equality in all lives. If you have purity in yourself, you will see purity in all lives. If you have love in yourself, you will see love in all lives. Whatever is in your heart is what you will see in the faces of others. When you look at them, you will see only your own reflection. Whatever fault you see in them really lies within you. When vou look at others, you only see your own reflection, not what is truly there. So correct yourself, and then you will see all lives as one. This is what Jesus (AS), Moses (AS), and Muhammad (Sal.) told us." -Muhammad Raheem Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Questions of Life-Answers of Wisdom, Volume One, pp. 181-182"There is no greater fortune than peace. There is no greater force than peace." -Ramana Maharshi.

'I' didn't bring you here to leave you.Do you trust that?Do you trust Me?Then show me. Relax enough to feel Me. That Feeling IS My Name. Call It."Become conscious of Being Conscious. Eventually, the false 'I' will vanish, leaving only the unbroken awareness of the real, immanent 'I', Self-Consciousness Itself." - Ramana Maharshi******I call It Jesus. I call It Christ. I call It Love, still. Only Love is here.But when I say, 'Only Jesus is here',there is a dimension of feeling that has yet to be experienced. It feels more personal.It makes me take things less personally.It makes me more humble.I live in a posture of bowing,of worshiping everything,of seeing Him everywhere. Which is why one prayer is not better than another one.One religion is not better than another.Love is Love,and it does not belong to any one religion.This body goes into a Catholic church daily and serves as often as possible.It receives the Eucharist as often as possible.But the Spirit,this Awareness, that's Here, the church is in It,the temples,the ashrams are all in Here.I can't fit in them.Nikki goes to them.She likes to visit them,but I can't fit in any box.I Am That, and You are That.And every time you remember that,"All the saints salute you.

In pain you pray for me to act, but that I act in the way you want. You do not turn to me, instead, you want me to adapt your ideas. You are not sick people who ask the doctor to cure you, but rather sick people who tell the doctor how to. So do not act this way, but pray as I taught you in the our Father: "Hallowed be thy Name", that is, be glorified in my need. "Thy kingdom come", that is, let all that is in us and in the world be in accord with your kingdom. "Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven", that is, in our need, decide as you see fit for our temporal and eternal life. If you say to me truly: "Thy will be done", which is the same as saying: "You take care of it", I will intervene with all my omnipotence, and I will resolve the most difficult situations. O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything! (10 times)Mother, I am yours now and forever. Through you and with you I always want to belong completely to Jesus. Amen_______________________________"Once (people] let go of the reins and just kind of put their trust in the divine, in God - He will basically change your entire life the way He did mine." Jonathan Roumie"There are times when the burden of need and our own limitations might tempt us to become discouraged. But precisely then we are helped by the knowledge that, in the end, we are only instruments in the Lord's hands; and this knowledge frees us from the presumption of thinking that we alone are personally responsible for building a better world. In all humility we will do what we can, and in all humility we will entrust the rest to the Lord. It is God who governs the world, not we. We offer him our service only to the extent that we can, and for as long as he grants us the strength. To do all we can with what strength we have, however, is the task which keeps the good servant of Jesus Christ always at work: "The love of Christ urges us on" (2 Cor 5:14). - Pope Benedict XVI, God is Love: Deus Caritas Est"The Light you give off did not come from a pelvis. Your features did not begin in semen. Don't try to hide inside anger, radiance that cannot be hidden." - Rumi "People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centered; Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; Be kind anyway. If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies; Succeed anyway. If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; Be honest and frank anyway. What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; Build anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; Be happy anyway. The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; Give the world the best you've got anyway. You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and your God; It was never between you and them anyway." -Inscribed on the wall of Mother Teresa's children's home in Calcutta'Prayer is the natural outgushing of a soul in communion with Jesus. Just as the leaf and the fruit will come out of the vine-branch without any conscious effort on the part of the branch, but simply because of its living union with the stem, so prayer buds, and blossoms, and fruits out of souls abiding in Jesus' -Charles Spurgeon

Slow down today. That's the assignment.Every time you catch yourself going top speed to nowhere, STOP and slow down. And know that 'nowhere' will look like 'somewhere'...it will look like your office, or your home, or your room, whatever it is,stop in the midst of that stride,and slow down.Stop and listen for The Feeling. Stop and listen for The Feeling. Stop and listen for The Feeling. And then continue, slowly, very mindful, very peaceful,very God-like. You're closer than you think.

It is against this surrender, deeply against it, to worry, to be nervous and to desire to think about the consequences of anything. It is like the confusion that children feel when they ask their mother to see to their needs, and then try to take care of those needs for themselves so that their childlike efforts get in their mother's way.

I am the all of you, all that is real and eternal. Why do you seek the solution of your problems outside of yourself when you will find the Father's love and understanding within? I wait to share your every thought and desire, though I must remain silent and apart until you recognize My presence. On occasion I call gently hoping that you will hear and answer My voice. When you have found the safe shelter in Me, you will lose all thoughts of fear. All the outer circumstances of your life will be a true reflection of that perfection dwelling within you. Then will you live a life of security among the passing things of the world. Then we shall walk and talk untouched by the changes of time and limitation." - Eva Bell Werber "How truly important it is to follow the energy and to follow the light and to remember that it is all your energy, it is all your light." - Sarah Landon "When the Lord makes us promise.

When you're hidden away from all of the things that could corrupt your growth while the Lord waters you. What a beautiful process. The pain of growing is quite unbearable at times, but it won't compare to the blessings that come after. Silence is hard. The darkness is confusing, but the king of the world is in control. It's really going to be okay." @Godlywaiting"Moses waited a long time for God to speak to him, and you will find that you may have to wait a long time, too. But after you once hear the still small voice, it comes more frequently and then eventually it comes at will: You have only to close your eyes, wait a sec-ond, and whatever is necessary comes into your conscious awareness. From the moment that Moses made himself a servant of God, he was God-led, God-directed, God-sus-tained, God-fed; and then, through Moses. God could act to save the Hebrew people."- Joel Goldsmith

In pain you pray for me to act, but that I act in the way you want. You do not turn to me, instead, you want me to adapt your ideas. You are not sick people who ask the doctor to cure you, but rather sick people who tell the doctor how to. So do not act this way, but pray as I taught you in the our Father: "Hallowed be thy Name", that is, be glorified in my need. "Thy kingdom come", that is, let all that is in us and in the world be in accord with your kingdom. "Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven", that is, in our need, decide as you see fit for our temporal and eternal life.
