Matthew 16:13-19When Jesus went into the region of Caesarea Philippihe asked his disciples,“Who do people say that the Son of Man is?”They replied, “Some say John the Baptist, others Elijah,still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”Simon Peter said in reply,“You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”Jesus said to him in reply, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah.For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my heavenly Father.And so I say to you, you are Peter,and upon this rock I will build my Church,and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it.I will give you the keys to the Kingdom of heaven.Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven;and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.”
Though each of the Twelve Apostles has his own Feast day, on this day they are commemorated together. Of the Twelve, only St John the Theologian died in peace; the rest met a martyr's end. Following are their individual feast days and the manner of their end. Roman citizens could not be crucified: crucifixion was considered a shameful death unworthy of a citizen. For this reason the Apostle Paul was 'privileged' to be beheaded. Peter: June 29, January 16. Crucified upside down. Andrew: November 30. Crucified. James the Son of Zebedee: April 30. Beheaded. John the Theologian: September 26, May 8. Died in peace in a wondrous way. Philip: November 14. Crucified. Bartholomew: June 11, August 25. Crucified, then flayed and beheaded. Thomas: October 6.

What if a simple touch could change not only our health, but our entire way of living?Bio-Touch is a simple touch-healing technique, but it's also a profound shift in how we relate to life and each other.Bev & Paul share how Bio-Touch Healing is putting Love into action. It's about recognizing the equality of ALL humanity. It's about a new way of living.
Krishnamurti said: "The truth is denied when you follow somebody. Don't follow anybody, just observe yourself”Bev & Paul share how Bio-Touch Healing is dedicated to self-awareness. How Bio-Touch was expressed to be a revolution of Love. So is Bio-Touch of Truth?
Ralph May, Executive Director from the Society of St. Vincent de Paul of SW Idaho, returns to Morning Light with updates on: the Subaru Car Raffle (about 900 tickets left), Summerfest is NEXT Friday, and stories about the recent prison visit with Vincentians from the Mountain Region.
Inspired by a talk we heard about the magical nature of birthing, Bev & Paul talk about personal experiences with birthing and how Bio-Touch gives us the opportunity to help in that process.Here is a writing from a Doula Instructor:https://www.justtouch.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Musing-from-A-Doula-Instructor.pdf
This week we are inspired by Yurong Jian Juanna's Oration at Harvard Commencement. “We are bound by something deeper than belief, we are bound by our shared humanity…”Bev & Paul talk about what we as a humanity hold in common and how Bio-Touch gives us the opportunity to share in that humanity with simple touch. And let the healing begin!

Today, we're concluding our series, "Everyone Has a Story Worth Telling," with a powerful message about the significance of your personal story. You might think your story is too messy or insignificant to share, but it's precisely these stories that can connect, inspire, and offer hope. When Jesus transforms our lives, our stories become beacons of light in a dark world. Don't hide your light; let your story shine. Even the Apostle Paul, despite his past and ongoing struggles, shared his journey openly. Embracing our brokenness allows Jesus' grace to work through us, showcasing His power in our weaknesses. So, get real, be vulnerable, and share your story. Your journey, with all its thorns, is a testament to the transformative power of Jesus' love and grace.

Paul Terrell - Exidy Part 2 Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/FloppyDays Sponsors: 8-Bit Classics Arcade Shopper Hello, and welcome to episode 129 for August, 2023 of the Floppy Days Podcast, with your host, Randy Kindig! If you're a regular listener, you'll know that we're in the middle of a series of episodes where we talk with Paul Terrell. Paul has been credited with essentially jump-starting the personal computer industry in many ways, not the least of which was by buying the original Apple I computer from the just-getting-started Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak and selling it in his equally-famous computer store, The Byte Shop. This was one of the first personal computer retail store chains in existence. Paul was also a member of the legendary Homebrew Computer Club and attended the West Coast Computer Faire. He was involved in the development of both the Exidy Sorcerer and BYT-8 computers and he later went on to start ComputerMania Inc. which was a chain of computer stores created with the purpose of renting computers and software. The first episode with Paul (June 2023's episode) was a sort of overview before Paul's time being involved with Exidy and the Exidy Sorcerer computer. Last month was segment 1 of 2 focusing directly on Exidy and the Sorcerer. And, this month is segment 2 of 2; again focusing on Exidy and the Sorcerer. You'll hear more about how the Sorcerer came about, hear Paul's insight into why certain design decisions were made, and what mistakes were made. The Sorcerer was truly an early, important machine, and had impressive features for the timeframe that it came out. As a reminder, if you want to hear additional information about the Sorcerer and about Exidy, there are 2 other Floppy Days Podcasts you'll want to listen to: Episode 17, where the Sorcerer is covered in detail - https://floppydays.libsyn.com/floppy-days-episode-17-the-exidy-sorcerer-live-from-vcfse-20 Episode 114, which features an interview with Howell Ivy. Howell was the principal designer of the Sorcerer and recollects his time at Exidy. - https://floppydays.libsyn.com/floppy-days-114-howell-ivy-exidy-sorcerer-and-exidy Paul decided he would really like to be able to talk about his incredible career in its entirety, including an amazing number of industry-impacting contributions, more than just the time with Exidy, and I of course was ecstatic that he decided my humble podcast could be a good medium for that. What that means for the listener, is that you can expect an even broader series of continued podcasts with Paul in the near future, interspersed with other computer-based and interview episodes along the way. I really hope you enjoy the Paul Terrel series in general, and this episode should give you a nice wrap-up on his involvement with Exidy and the Sorcerer!

“And so I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it.” Matthew 16:18 The Church, throughout the ages, has been hated, misunderstood, slandered, ridiculed, and even attacked. Though sometimes ridicule and rebuke come as a result of the personal faults of Her members, most often the Church has been and continues to be persecuted because we have been given the mission of clearly, compassionately, firmly, and authoritatively proclaiming, with the voice of Christ Himself, the truth which liberates and sets all people free to live in unity as children of God. Ironically, and sadly, there are many in this world who refuse to accept the Truth. There are many who instead grow in anger and bitterness as the Church lives out Her divine mission. What is this divine mission of the Church? Her mission is to teach with clarity and authority, to pour forth God's grace and mercy in the Sacraments, and to shepherd God's people so as to lead them to Heaven. It is God who gave the Church this mission and God who enables the Church and Her ministers to carry it out with courage, boldness and fidelity. Today's Solemnity is a very appropriate occasion to reflect on this sacred mission. Saints Peter and Paul are not only two of the greatest examples of the Church's mission, but they are also the actual foundation upon which Christ established this mission. First, Jesus Himself in today's Gospel said to Peter, “And so I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this Rock I will build my Church, and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it. I will give you the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven. Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in Heaven; whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in Heaven.” In this Gospel passage, “the Keys to the Kingdom of Heaven” are given to the first pope of the Church. St. Peter, the one entrusted with the divine headship of the Church on Earth, is given the authority to teach us all we need to know in order to attain Heaven. It's clear from the earliest days of the Church, that Peter passed these “Keys to the Kingdom,” this “ability to authoritatively bind and loose,” this divine gift that today is called infallibility, on to his successor, and he on to his successor and so forth until today. There are many who get angry at the Church for clearly, confidently and authoritatively proclaiming the liberating truth of the Gospel. This is especially true in the area of morality. Often, when these truths are proclaimed, the Church is attacked and called every sort of slanderous name in the book. The primary reason that this is so sad is not so much that the Church is attacked, Christ will always give us the grace we need to endure persecution. The primary reason this is so sad is that most often those who are the angriest are, in fact, those who need to know the liberating truth the most. Everyone needs the freedom that comes only in Christ Jesus and the full and unaltered Gospel truth that He has already entrusted to us in Scripture and that He continues to make clear to us through Peter in the person of the Pope. Furthermore, the Gospel does not ever change, the only thing that changes is our ever deeper and clearer understanding of this Gospel. Thanks be to God for Peter and for all of his successors who serve the Church in this essential role. St. Paul, the other Apostle we honor today, was not himself entrusted with the keys of Peter, but was called by Christ and strengthened by his ordination to be an Apostle to the Gentiles. St. Paul, with much courage, traveled throughout the Mediterranean to bring the message to all he met. In today's Second Reading, St. Paul said of his journeys, “The Lord stood by me and gave me strength, so that through me the proclamation might be completed and all the Gentiles might hear” the Gospel. And though he suffered, was beaten, imprisoned, ridiculed, misunderstood and hated by many, he was also an instrument of true freedom to many. Many people responded to his words and example, radically giving their lives over to Christ. We owe the establishment of many new Christian communities to St. Paul's tireless efforts. When facing the opposition of the world, Paul said in today's epistle, “I was rescued from the lion's mouth. The Lord will rescue me from every evil threat and will bring me safe to his heavenly kingdom.” Both St. Paul and St. Peter paid for their faithfulness to their missions with their lives. The First Reading spoke of Peter's imprisonment; the epistles reveal Paul's hardships. In the end, both became martyrs. Martyrdom is not a bad thing if it is the Gospel for which you are martyred. Jesus says in the Gospel, “Fear not the one who can bind your hand and foot, rather fear him who can throw you into Gehenna.” And the only one who can throw you into Gehenna is yourself because of the free choices you make. All we ultimately need to fear is wavering from the truth of the Gospel in our words and deeds. The truth must be proclaimed in love and compassion; but love is not loving nor is compassion compassionate if the truth of the life of faith and morals is not present. On this feast of Saints Peter and Paul, may Christ give all of us, and the entire Church, the courage, charity, and wisdom we need to continue to be the instruments that set the world free.Lord, I thank You for the gift of Your Church and the liberating Gospel it preaches. Help me to always be faithful to the truths You proclaim through Your Church. And help me to be an instrument of that truth to all in need of it. Jesus, I trust in You.Source of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2022 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved. Used with permission via RSS feed.

Friends of the Rosary: As we pray the first Luminous mystery today and commit to cultivate our openness to the Holy Spirit, we rejoice with the upcoming feasts of June: Pentecost (June 5), Mary Mother of the Church (June 6), Trinity Sunday (June 12), Corpus Christ (June 19), the Sacred Heart of Jesus (June 24), and the Immaculate Heart of Mary (June 25). In addition, we commemorate the solemnities of the Nativity of St. John the Baptist (June 24) and Sts. Peter and Paul (June 29), along with the memorials of other great saints. Overall, the month is dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, present on earth in the Blessed Sacrament, as human manifestation of God's Love for men. This is a great month to increase our spiritual richness and accumulate treasures in Heaven for eternity. Meanwhile, the secular world, influenced by darkness, reacts by inventing other type of celebrations. Be awake and invoke St Michael the Archangel for the spiritual battle of June! Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! + Mikel A. | RosaryNetwork.com, New York [ Second Year Anniversary | In the Memory of María Blanca ] • June 2, 2021, Today's Holy Rosary on YouTube — Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET
