Saint John Chrysostom, Archbishop of Constantinople The Paschal Sermon The Catechetical Sermon of St. John Chrysostom is read during Matins of Pascha. If any man be devout and love God, let him enjoy this fair and radiant triumphal feast. If any man be a wise servant, let him rejoicing enter into the joy of his Lord. If any have labored long in fasting, let him now receive his recompense. If any have wrought from the first hour, let him today receive his just reward. If any have come at the third hour, let him with thankfulness keep the feast. If any have arrived at the sixth hour, let him have no misgivings; because he shall in nowise be deprived thereof. If any have delayed until the ninth hour, let him draw near, fearing nothing. If any have tarried even until the eleventh hour, let him, also, be not alarmed at his tardiness; for the Lord, who is jealous of his honor, will accept the last even as the first; He gives rest unto him who comes at the eleventh hour, even as unto him who has wrought from the first hour. And He shows mercy upon the last, and cares for the first; and to the one He gives, and upon the other He bestows gifts. And He both accepts the deeds, and welcomes the intention, and honors the acts and praises the offering. Wherefore, enter you all into the joy of your Lord; and receive your reward, both the first, and likewise the second. You rich and poor together, hold high festival. You sober and you heedless, honor the day. Rejoice today, both you who have fasted and you who have disregarded the fast. The table is full-laden; feast ye all sumptuously. The calf is fatted; let no one go hungry away. Enjoy ye all the feast of faith: Receive ye all the riches of loving-kindness. let no one bewail his poverty, for the universal kingdom has been revealed. Let no one weep for his iniquities, for pardon has shown forth from the grave. Let no one fear death, for the Savior's death has set us free. He that was held prisoner of it has annihilated it. By descending into Hell, He made Hell captive. He embittered it when it tasted of His flesh. And Isaiah, foretelling this, did cry: Hell, said he, was embittered, when it encountered Thee in the lower regions. It was embittered, for it was abolished. It was embittered, for it was mocked. It was embittered, for it was slain. It was embittered, for it was overthrown. It was embittered, for it was fettered in chains. It took a body, and met God face to face. It took earth, and encountered Heaven. It took that which was seen, and fell upon the unseen. O Death, where is your sting? O Hell, where is your victory? Christ is risen, and you are overthrown. Christ is risen, and the demons are fallen. Christ is risen, and the angels rejoice. Christ is risen, and life reigns. Christ is risen, and not one dead remains in the grave. For Christ, being risen from the dead, is become the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep. To Him be glory and dominion unto ages of ages. Amen.

Send us a text by clicking this link!The sacred stillness of Holy Saturday holds a unique place in our spiritual journey - that profound pause between the Crucifixion and Resurrection, where we are invited to contemplate the mystery of Christ's rest in the tomb. Through ancient liturgical texts and thoughtful meditation, we explore this day not as empty waiting, but as fertile ground where the seed of Resurrection quietly germinates."Today I am plunged in anguish, but tomorrow I will break my bonds." This powerful antiphon sets the tone for our reflection on what appears as defeat but secretly harbors victory. We join Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus at the hasty burial of Jesus before walking through the profound symbolism of the Easter Vigil ceremonies—the blessing of new fire, the lighting of the Paschal candle representing Christ risen, and the gradual illumination of darkness as this light spreads throughout the congregation.The beautiful paradox of Holy Saturday emerges as we contemplate both loss and anticipation. "The sleep of death will be of short duration, followed by a glorious triumph," reminds us that beneath apparent defeat, God's redemptive work continues unseen. We offer practical spiritual resolutions for the day: spending time in recollection with Mary, seeking confession, praying for catechumens awaiting baptism, and remembering souls in purgatory. If you're journeying with us through Lent toward Easter glory, join our community in prayer for those entering the Church tonight, and prepare your heart for the magnificent celebration of Resurrection that awaits us all tomorrow.Support the showSponsored by Recusant Cellars, an unapologetically Catholic and pro-life winery from Washington state.

After Completing the First 5 Weeks of Lent: Preparing for the Actual Mystery of Holy Week: Lenten Conference #6: Part 2 In Silence and Fire: Encountering Christ in the Holy Days This is Part 2 of this conference, given just before Holy Week. This conference continues by capturing a rich and passionate reflection on the liturgical depth and spiritual symbolism of the Good Friday and Easter celebrations within the Catholic Church. We are led within a powerful journey through the Paschal Triduum, beginning with the veiling and gradual unveiling of the crucifix during the Good Friday liturgy. This ritual highlights the unfolding mystery of Christ's passion, encouraging believers to first understand, pray, and unite their hearts with Jesus' sacrificial love before visually encountering the cross. The Good Friday Liturgy The Good Friday liturgy is marked by solemn intercessions for all humanity, affirming the universal reach of Christ's redemptive act. The veneration of the single crucifix serves as a profound moment of communal reverence, underscoring the singularity of Christ's sacrifice. The Easter Vigil is celebrated with grandeur and symbolism—starting with the blessing of a new fire and the lighting of the Paschal candle, representing the risen Christ. Through light, scripture, and sacramental renewal, the liturgy transitions the faithful from darkness to light, death to resurrection. This includes the renewal of baptismal vows and the sprinkling with holy water, symbolically cleansing the ashes of Lent and marking spiritual rebirth. The Church also reflects on the value of sitting in silence before an empty tabernacle on Holy Saturday morning, recognizing the rare spiritual weight of absence. The entire experience is portrayed as an invitation to deeper renewal, awareness, and joyful participation in the mysteries of faith.

We kick off a new series about why Jesus had to die. This week's discussion questions are below: April 6 Discussion Questions 1. Why do you think the question “If God can do anything, why did Jesus have to die?” is such a powerful or challenging one? 2. Dallas Willard suggests that God's goal is to create a community of free, loving beings. How does that help explain why God allows our current world with its suffering and sin? 3. How does redefining omnipotence as “limitless power to live out God's unchanging character and promises” help us understand why God couldn't simply “snap his fingers” and remove sin? 4. Can you think of something that sounds logical in theory (like the “rock God can't lift” question), but breaks down when applied to a personal God? Why do abstract puzzles fall short in describing God? 5. Why does sin require death as a consequence? How does the “electricity” analogy help explain what sin does to our relationship with God? 6. What role did animal sacrifice play in the Old Testament? How was it a foreshadowing of Jesus' death? 7. How is Jesus described as the ultimate “Paschal lamb”? Why is the timing of his death (at Passover) important? 8. How would you define sin in your own words after hearing this sermon? Has your definition shifted? 9. Why do you think some people ask, “If Jesus forgave me, why can't I just sin as much as I want?” How would you respond to that? 10. In what ways does sin still carry consequences, even if it's forgiven? 11. The sermon describes God's commands not as arbitrary rules but as paths to joy. Do you find that view helpful? Why or why not? 12. What might it look like for you to grow into being a “person of peace and an agent of love like Jesus”?

Fr. Mike begins his examination of the Paschal Mystery of Christ's passion, death, and ultimate Resurrection. He emphasizes that all of Scripture points to this Paschal Mystery, and that through our faith, we can try to examine the circumstances of Jesus' life to fully understand our own redemption. We also explore Jesus' relationship with Israel and our own relationship with our Jewish forefathers. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 571-576.

Send us a textIn the latest episode of *2 Giants Goofballs: New York Giants News & Updates*, Drew and Rob dive deep into the biggest stories surrounding the New York Giants as the team continues its search for a quarterback. With speculation swirling about Rodgers' future, the latest free-agent visits, and key roster moves, there's plenty to break down.  One of the biggest questions looming over the NFL right now is whether Aaron Rodgers will retire. According to Diana Russini of *The Athletic*, Rodgers is holding out hope that the Minnesota Vikings will make a move for him. If that doesn't happen, he might opt for retirement rather than playing for the Steelers or Giants. That's a major twist in the offseason, as New York had been linked to Rodgers, but now they may have to look elsewhere.  One of those alternatives could be Jameis Winston, who is set to visit the Giants. According to Tom Pelissero of *NFL Network*, Winston will meet with the team as they continue to explore veteran quarterback options. Winston, the former No. 1 overall pick, has expressed interest in joining the Giants and has a history of both big plays and costly mistakes. In 2024, he posted a 61.1% completion rate with 13 touchdowns and 12 interceptions, but his turnover issues have followed him throughout his career.  Another player visiting the Giants is wide receiver Zach Paschal. While he has had minimal impact as a receiver over the last few years—catching zero passes in 2023 and just 19 in the last three seasons combined—he brings value as a special teams player. Paschal has ties to Giants WR coach Mike Groh from their time together in Indianapolis, which could influence his chances of landing a roster spot.  On the defensive side, the Giants made a move by signing linebacker Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles. The 28-year-old, who spent the last five seasons with the 49ers, is known for his special teams contributions. In 2024, he played in 12 games with two starts, recording 17 tackles, an interception, and two passes defended. With 73 career games under his belt, he adds depth to a Giants defense that continues to evolve.  Meanwhile, former Giants pass rusher Ojulari is heading to a division rival. The Philadelphia Eagles signed Ojulari to a one-year, $4 million deal, ending his tenure in New York. Injuries hampered Ojulari's time with the Giants, but when healthy, he showed flashes of being a difference-maker. Now, he'll be looking to revitalize his career in Philly.  One of the biggest stories surrounding the Giants this offseason was their rumored interest in moving up to the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL Draft. According to Jordan Raanan of *ESPN*, that plan is now dead. The Giants had also reportedly targeted Matthew Stafford earlier in the offseason, but with both options off the table, they are left searching for alternative solutions at QB.  With all these moving parts, the question remains: are the Giants just a quarterback away from contention? Fox Sports' Peter Schrager thinks so, stating that the Giants have pieces in place but lack the most important position. Whether it's Rodgers, Winston, or someone else, the Giants must figure out their quSupport the showAll Episodes are shot LIVE with fan interactions on Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, & TwitchSponsor the show at: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/2giantgoofballsInterested in starting a podcast.

How Do We Prepare for the Evangelion of The Christ?Fr Symeon is busy now with the activities of Great Lent in his parish & so Jim is solo hosting a series of short reflections on the structure of the Paschal cycle. This first episode will examine the four pre-Lenten Sundays:  - The Publican & The Pharisee - The Prodigal Son - The Last Judgement - ForgivenessHe is choosing to frame this under the question how do we prepare for the Evangelion of The Christ because it was at the feast of Pentecost, which was originally the Jewish feast on which they celebrated the giving of the covenant through Moses to the people of Israel, at which St Peter & the other apostles first preached Jesus' victory over death, setting all humanity free from the power of sin. This five month season of the year sets in motion a process of preparation which culminates in our renewal of our commitment to the life of the way of faithfulness to this declaration of a military victory. Reference materials for this episode: St Gregory Palamas on The Sunday of The Last Judgement - https://www.johnsanidopoulos.com/2018/02/homily-on-christs-second-coming-st.htmlEpisode about St Gregory - https://www.buzzsprout.com/1443073/episodes/13986560Scripture citations for this episode:Exodus 19-31: The covenant with MosesMatthew 6:9-13: The Lord's prayerMatthew 7:1-5: We will be judged as we judge othersActs 2: The preaching of the evangelion of Jesus The ChristRomans 2:1-11: By judging others we condemn ourselves because we do what they do First Sunday - The publican & the pharisee - 2 Timothy 3:10-15 - Luke 18:9-14Second Sunday - The prodigal son - 1 Corinthians 6:12-20 - Luke 15:11-32Third Sunday - The Last Judgement - 1 Corinthians 8:8-13; 9:1-2 - Matthew 25:31-46Fourth Sunday - Forgiveness Sunday - Romans 13:11-14; 14:1-4 - Matthew 6:14-21The Christian Saints Podcast is a joint production of Generative sounds & Paradosis Pavilion with oversight from Fr Symeon KeesParadosis Pavilion - https://youtube.com/@paradosispavilion9555https://www.instagram.com/christiansaintspodcasthttps://twitter.com/podcast_saintshttps://www.facebook.com/christiansaintspodcasthttps://www.threads.net/@christiansaintspodcastIconographic images used by kind permission of Nicholas Papas, who controls distribution rights of these imagesPrints of all of Nick's work can be found at Saint Demetrius Press - http://www.saintdemetriuspress.comAll music in these episodes is a production of Generative Soundshttps://generativesoundsjjm.bandcamp.comDistribution rights of this episode & all music contained in it are controlled by Generative SoundsCopyright 2021 - 2023

Is AI the savior or the destroyer of journalism? As media outlets grapple with dwindling trust and audiences, could artificial intelligence be the key to revitalizing the industry, or is it the final nail in its coffin? In this episode of The Trending Communicator, host Dan Nestle sits down with seasoned journalist turned AI consultant, educator, trainer, and founder of the popular Media Copilot newsletter, Pete Pachal. Together, they dissect the complex relationships between communications professionals and journalists as media becomes more fractured and AI's advance continues. Pete shares his journey from engineering to journalism, recounting his experiences at influential digital media outlets like Mashable and Coindesk. As the conversation unfolds, Dan and Pete examine the current state of media, the challenges faced by both journalists and PR professionals and how AI is reshaping the entire landscape. Pete offers invaluable insights on how newsrooms and PR teams can adapt to this new reality, emphasizing the importance of transparency, ethical frameworks, and maintaining the human touch in an increasingly automated world. He also shares his predictions for the future of media and communications, painting a picture of an industry that's both challenged and empowered by AI. Whether you're a journalist, PR professional, or simply interested in the future of media, this episode provides a balanced and nuanced look at how AI is reshaping the way we create, consume, and distribute information. Don't miss this opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the opportunities and pitfalls that lie ahead in the brave new world of AI-assisted communications. Listen in and hear about... AI's transformative impact on media and journalism Challenges and opportunities for PR professionals in the AI era Evolving strategies for earning attention in a fragmented media landscape Ethical considerations of AI-generated content and transparency Innovative AI tools reshaping content creation and distribution The enduring value of human creativity and critical thinking in storytelling Balancing AI assistance with maintaining authentic voice and expertise Notable Quotes On the Evolution of Digital Media: "Mashable was trying to be kind of like the millennial version of CNN at some point. So really, you know, struck gold with its strategy, which very few people were doing at the time, in the late 2000s, early 2010s of going all in on social media." - Pete Pachal [07:47 → 08:09] On AI's Impact on Journalism: "AI is affecting everything with regard to media at every layer, like the distribution, the production, just the story ideas even. And that idea of doing something quick and easy and employing whether it's interns or junior level people to just fire out those posts, that's a job for a robot now." - Pete Pachal [12:52 → 13:11] On the Changing Media Landscape: "Media itself is on its own hero's journey and now they're going through these trials and tribulations and they need to pass through them to get to the other side where they will be welcomed with open arms and redeemed if they follow the cycle." - Dan Nestle [13:53 → 14:11] On the Role of AI in Journalism: "The quick, the quick application, I guess a statement I would say about applying AI to journalism is it's like super easy to abuse and harder to use." - Pete Pachal [16:42 → 17:07] On the Future of AI-Generated Content: "I don't know a single journalist now who doesn't at least use perplexity or something like it every now and then, at least. Right. And there's other ways to improve that. Chief among them is essentially using AI with your own data, whether it's your stories or in the case of say, a legal reporter, using it on all these sort of legal documents around a case, which is a relatively easy thing to set up." - Pete Pachal [17:28 → 17:54] On the Future of AI in Media: "I think there's actually a better reason to do this kind of thing. And I think that the reason other orgs may want to start doing this for basically stories they don't have people for but are still relevant to their beat or their area of expertise is to make sure their corpus of content includes those stories." - Pete Pachal [22:32 → 22:50] On the Importance of Human Touch in Writing: "Writing is thinking. And he's right. The act of writing is not separable from the storytelling phase of it. And I think every writer knows this. As you're writing a story and you're, you know, you're figuring out transitions and things, you're like, oh, right, I should say this or I should say that." - Pete Pachal [46:28 → 46:48] Resources and Links Dan Nestle Inquisitive Communications | Website The Trending Communicator | Website Communications Trends from Trending Communicators | Dan Nestle's Substack Dan Nestle | LinkedIn Dan Nestle | Twitter/X Pete Pachal Pete Pachal | LinkedIn The Media Copilot Website The Media Copilot | Substack AI for PR & Media Professionals - Course Pull to Open | Pete's Dr. Who Podcast Timestamped key moments from this episode (as generated by Fireflies.ai)

St. André Bessette, Religious (Optional Memorial)

"Saint Seraphim was born in the town of Kursk in 1759. From tender childhood he was under the protection of the most holy Mother of God, who, when he was nine years old, appeared to him in a vision, and through her icon of Kursk, healed him from a grave sickness from which he had not been expected to recover. At the age of nineteen he entered the monastery of Sarov, where he amazed all with his obedience, his lofty asceticism, and his great humility. In 1780 the Saint was stricken with a sickness which he manfully endured for three years, until our Lady the Theotokos healed him, appearing to him with the Apostles Peter and John. He was tonsured a monk in 1786, being named for the holy Hieromartyr Seraphim, Bishop of Phanarion (Dec. 4), and was ordained deacon a year later. In his unquenchable love for God, he continually added labours to labours, increasing in virtue and prayer with titan strides. Once, during the Divine Liturgy of Holy and Great Thursday he was counted worthy of a vision of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who appeared encompassed by the heavenly hosts. After this dread vision, he gave himself over to greater labours.   "In 1794, Saint Seraphim took up the solitary life in a cell in the forest. This period of extreme asceticism lasted some fifteen years, until 1810. It was at this time that he took upon himself one of the greatest feats of his life. Assailed with despondency and a storm of contrary thoughts raised by the enemy of our salvation, the Saint passed a thousand nights on a rock, continuing in prayer until God gave him complete victory over the enemy. On another occasion, he was assaulted by robbers, who broke his chest and his head with their blows, leaving him almost dead. Here again, he began to recover after an appearance of the most Holy Theotokos, who came to him with the Apostles Peter and John, and pointing to Saint Seraphim, uttered these awesome words, 'This is one of my kind.'   "In 1810, at the age of fifty, weakened by his more than human struggles, Saint Seraphim returned to the monastery for the third part of his ascetical labours, in which he lived as a recluse, until 1825. For the first five years of his reclusion, he spoke to no one at all, and little is known of this period. After five years, he began receiving visitors little by little, giving counsel and consolation to ailing souls. In 1825, the most holy Theotokos appeared to the Saint and revealed to him that it was pleasing to God that he fully end his reclusion; from this time the number of people who came to see him grew daily. It was also at the command of the holy Virgin that he undertook the spiritual direction of the Diveyevo Convent. He healed bodily ailments, foretold things to come, brought hardened sinners to repentance, and saw clearly the secrets of the heart of those who came to him. Through his utter humility and childlike simplicity, his unrivalled ascetical travails, and his angel-like love for God, he ascended to the holiness and greatness of the ancient God-bearing Fathers and became, like Anthony for Egypt, the physician for the whole Russian land. In all, the most holy Theotokos appeared to him twelve times in his life. The last was on Annunciation, 1831, to announce to him that he would soon enter into his rest. She appeared to him accompanied by twelve virgins martyrs and monastic saints with Saint John the Baptist and Saint John the Theologian. With a body ailing and broken from innumerable hardships, and an unspotted soul shining with the light of Heaven, the Saint lived less than two years after this, falling asleep in peace on January 2, 1833, chanting Paschal hymns. On the night of his repose, the righteous Philaret of the Glinsk Hermitage beheld his soul ascending to Heaven in light. Because of the universal testimony to the singular holiness of his life, and the seas of miracles that he performed both in life and after death, his veneration quickly spread beyond the boundaries of the Russian Empire to every corner of the earth.
