We're back with another listener AMA, and this one might be our most heartfelt yet. I sit down with my wife, Alyson Charles Storey, and our conversation weaves through themes of grief, forgiveness, and family legacy as I share the story of honoring my father's life and final wishes. From the surreal experience of his memorial to an unexpected pilgrimage up Snowmass Mountain to spread his ashes, I open up about the lessons loss has taught me: how relationships shift, why priorities sharpen, and what it really means to let go with grace.Along the way, Alyson brings her shamanic perspective to the conversation, offering insight on how to hold both the pain and the beauty of these moments without bypassing the deeper truths they carry.Thank you to everyone who submitted a question—your curiosity and courage continue to shape these conversations. We're honored to walk beside you in both the challenges and the celebrations of being fully alive.

In this episode of Fatima Today, hosts Barb Ernster and Katie Moran reflect on the incredible power of intercessory prayer, drawing from the lives of St. Monica and St. Rita. Their perseverance and patience remind us never to give up praying for the conversion of loved ones, as God rewards faithful hearts in ways beyond imagination—just as Monica's prayers led to the conversion of her son, St. Augustine, who became one of the great doctors of the Church.   We also invite you to join us for our Pilgrimage to Fatima this December—a grace-filled journey to deepen your devotion and experience the heart of the Fatima message. Don't miss this opportunity to walk where Our Lady appeared and to strengthen your faith in a profound way.   And stay tuned for our next episode, where we'll highlight the lives of Bl. Pier Giorgio Frassati and Bl. Carlo Acutis, and the exciting path toward their canonization.

Imagine being remembered not just as a bishop, diplomat, and court insider… but also as the student who annoyed a future martyr with your recorder practice! That was Thomas Thirlby, a man whose life saw the reigns of Henry VII, Henry VIII, Edward VI, Lady Jane Grey, Mary I, and Elizabeth I. He supported Henry VIII's marriage to Anne Boleyn, helped suppress the Pilgrimage of Grace, became the very first Bishop of Westminster, rose high under Mary I as Bishop of Ely, and yet ended his life under house arrest in Elizabeth's reign. In this video, I explore: - Thirlby's rise under Cromwell and Cranmer - His role in diplomacy and religious change - Why he had to degrade his old friend Thomas Cranmer before his execution - How his Catholic faith cost him dearly under Elizabeth I - And of course, that quirky Cambridge anecdote about annoying reformer Thomas Bilney with his recorder playing!

This Sunday, Bobbi explores pilgrimage as a sacred practice, distinguishing it from mere habit. She shares her personal journey to Iona, a sacred island off Scotland, and discusses the historical significance of pilgrimage in various cultures and faiths, including the Christian tradition and the Camino de Santiago.Bobbi contrasts her transformative experience in Iona with a less impactful visit to Fatima, Portugal, highlighting the difference between being a pilgrim and a tourist. The talk also delves into labyrinths as an accessible form of pilgrimage, emphasizing their embodied, symbolic, and enjoyable nature, and encourages listeners to seek out local labyrinths for their own spiritual journeys.The sermon concludes by reflecting on the idea that while intentional pilgrimages are valuable, some of the most profound spiritual encounters can happen unexpectedly in everyday life. Drawing from Hebrews 12, Bobbi encourages listeners to approach life with the light and persevering spirit of a pilgrim, keeping their eyes fixed on Jesus, the "pioneer and perfecter of faith." The ultimate message is that whether planned or spontaneous, pilgrimage is a path that always leads us home to God. ★ Support this podcast ★

This month's theme is DELIGHT!Isaiah 62:4"No more shall you be called “Forsaken,”nor your land called “Desolate,”But you shall be called “My Delight is in her,”and your land “Espoused.”For the LORD delights in you,and your land shall be espoused."(NAB Translation)***2 SPOTS LEFT!

"Holy Pilgrimage," delivered by Pastors Spencer and Wade, emphasizes the sacred journey of believers as we strive to live a life set apart for God. This message draws from passages like 1 Peter 1:13-19 and 2 Timothy 2:20-21, urging the congregation to embrace holiness not as moral perfection but as being distinct and dedicated to God's purposes. By referencing the Tabernacle and its holy nature, this sermon illustrates that holiness involves being set apart for divine use, much like the sanctuary and its furnishings. The call to holiness is a call to reject former passions and to live in a manner that reflects God's character, ultimately leading to a closer relationship with Him.

In this episode, I take you with me on my live pilgrimage to Lourdes, the sanctuary of Mother Mary in France. Lourdes is a place where millions travel for healing, hope, and miracles but what I discovered here went far beyond holy water and candlelight. I share what it felt like to walk into the energy of the grotto, the lessons I learned waiting for hours in line (yes, including a bathroom incident that turned into a teaching on forgiveness), and the raw emotions that surfaced after bathing in the sacred waters.

I'm coming to you live, raw, still in the thick of my spiritual pilgrimage to Lourdes, the sanctuary of Mother Mary in France. It's a very personal journey for me that's still unfolding in the present day as I'm recording live here in France. I wanted to bring you along and have a sacred heart to heart. Honestly sounds like a personal diary rather than poddy ep! If you haven't heard of Lourdes in 1858, a young peasant girl named Bernadette had a series of visions of the Virgin Mary. Since then, millions of pilgrims have come each year, seeking healing, peace and connection with the divine. You see people from every corner of the world — some arriving in wheelchairs, some carrying heavy burdens and some simply searching for a quiet moment of faith. What struck me most about Lourdes is that it's not just about Catholicism. Yes, it is deeply Catholic in its roots and traditions, and very much like an adult Catholic Disneyland where old ladies go crazy for (a story about that later on). But when you are there, what you feel goes beyond religion. It feels like a universal mother energy. It feels like the presence of unconditional love itself, waiting to embrace you. The Energy of Sacred Places I've always believed there are certain places on Earth that simply hold energy. You step into them, and you know something is different. Sometimes it's in nature, like a mountain or a forest, and sometimes it's in sanctuaries like Lourdes. When I arrived, I could feel it immediately. The air was thick with prayer and it happens the year I've gone in 2025 is the Jubilee year marking the universal theme of hope. There were candles flickering everywhere. It was extremely busy, and what's so powerful is that this energy isn't just historical — it's alive. You can feel the devotion of millions of people here. For me, being there wasn't about worshiping a figure from my childhood faith. It was about standing in a place where the Divine Mother energy is so tangible, so present. Returning to My Roots I should share a little background. I grew up Roman Catholic. Mary was always present in my childhood — her statues in churches, rosaries in the hands of family members, prayers before bed. In fact, I had a memory flashback to being in kindergarten or year one. My first school play, I randomly got chosen to play Mother Mary in a Christmas play. My dad was religious and said if I had a Western name it would be Mary, so I would be Mary Dang to you! Like many of us, I drifted as I grew older for various reasons (which you can read about in my book The Great Unlearning). My spiritual path expanded, I explored other traditions, and Mary became more of a symbol in the background. Yet when I walked into Lourdes, something in me remembered. It wasn't about dogma or rules or religion. It was about the deep comfort of the mother figure I had known all along. She was waiting there for me, not asking me to prove anything — just to receive.

069 The heart is not just a pump, it is also the tender center of our being we most often guard and long to liberate.  As young children we got to experience the wonders of life through an open heart, but also the pain of separation and in some cases, betrayal. The process of adulting in a materialistic culture necessitates constructing elaborate strategies and conceptual shells to navigate the chaos of life and keep us safe.  However, the more we identify with our thoughts and live life from head, the more disconnected we become from our true nature and sense of aliveness. The desire for wholeness demands an inner journey into the deep heart.In this episode of Awake In Relationship I speak with Dr John J Prendergast, non dual spiritual teacher, psychotherapist and author of The Deep Heart: Your Portal into Presence and Your Deepest Ground about the archetypal spiritual journey of restoring connection with the subtle and profound wisdom of the heart. In this conversation we also discuss the intersection of psychotherapy and a grounded approach to spirituality in working through trauma and internal blocks to loving more fully.Follow Awake In Relationship on Instagram and LinkedinIf you have been loving what you are hearing on AIR  please rate, review and subscribe to get the latest content fresh to your device.  Sign up for our newsletter at awakeinrelationship.com to learn about upcoming programs and events.Do you have suggestions for guests or feedback on the show?  Send us an email at awakeinrelationshippodcast@gmail.comCredit: Music used in this episode intro by Orangery

Blessed are those whose strength is in you, whose hearts are set on pilgrimage. [NIV]

Eucharistic processions have been a tradition in the Catholic Church for countless years. Recently, the Church in the United States celebrated the National Eucharistic Congress, which culminated four national Eucharistic processions and pilgrimage routes. This blogcast explores “Pilgrimage and the Eucharist as Food for the Journey" from the Ad Infinitum blog, written and read by Fatima Monterrubio Cruess.As you may know, we are in the final phase of the National Eucharistic Revival, “a three-year initiative sponsored by the Bishops of the United States to inspire and prepare the People of God to be formed, healed, converted, united, and sent out to a hurting and hungry world through a renewed encounter with Jesus in the Eucharist – the source and summit of our Catholic faith”. This initiative is a response to the Holy Father's call for a “pastoral and missionary conversion which cannot leave things as they presently are” so that the Church in the United States might be “permanently in a state of mission” (Evangelii Gaudium, 25). This final phase known as the “Year of Mission” is a response to the preceding stages of diocesan and parish revival as well as the National Eucharistic Congress that was held July 17-21, 2024.One beautiful expression of this missionary dimension of the Eucharistic Revival was the National Eucharistic Pilgrimage that took place leading up to the National Eucharistic Congress. The first of its kind, and one of the largest Eucharistic processions in history, consisted of four routes beginning at the northern, southern, eastern, and western parts of the United States. The routes formed the shape of a cross as pilgrims journeyed with the Blessed Sacrament across the whole country, blessing over 6,000 miles of our nation.Participants in the pilgrimage attended Mass every day of their journey and had regular evenings of reflection and adoration. After traveling for about two months, all four branches of the Pilgrimage met in Indianapolis for the National Eucharistic Congress. I was privileged to join a moment of the National Eucharistic Pilgrimage along the northern route, known as the Marian route, which began at the headwaters of the Mississippi and wound its way through the midwestern United States.As the pilgrimage passed through Notre Dame, IN over the course of a weekend, I was able to attend a couple of the specially planned events. One was a musical entitled “Behold God's Love: A Eucharistic Musical,” which drew inspiration from mystery plays performed on the feast of Corpus Christi (the Body and Blood of Christ) in the Middle Ages. These plays presented moments from salvation history. The other special event was Sunday Mass in the Basilica of the Sacred Heart followed by a procession around the university's campus, culminating in Benediction offered from the steps of the Main Building.It was such a gift to join pilgrims, some of whom had been part of the route from the beginning, in a tangible manifestation of our life as “the pilgrim Church on earth”, the people of God on their way to their heavenly homeland. It provided an opportunity to reflect in a special way on one of the many names with which we refer to the Eucharist, one that evokes a certain aspect of the “inexhaustible richness of this sacrament” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1328). Viaticum, a Latin word that means provision for the journey, is a particularly fitting name to contemplate in the context of this pilgrimage, as the Eucharist is the spiritual food which sustains and nourishes us. Certainly, it was the source of sustenance for those making the cross-country journey over the course of several weeks. Yet this pilgrimage (and all pilgrimages) was undertaken to call to mind our common human condition as those marching onward “ ‘following the narrow way of the cross,' toward the heavenly banquet” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1344), when we can all be seated at the table of the Kingdom of God. ​The Eucharist as viaticum gives us the graces we need for each day as we advance along our earthly pilgrimage. Each step of the National Eucharistic Pilgrimage reminds us that our entire lives and every place in which we find ourselves can be holy, consecrated by the presence of our Lord. When we receive the Lord in the Eucharist and accept the call to be sent forth on mission to every part of the world, we experience “a foretaste of that heavenly liturgy which is celebrated in the Holy City of Jerusalem toward which we journey as pilgrims, where Christ is sitting at the right hand of God, Minister of the sanctuary and of the true tabernacle” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1090). The National Eucharistic Pilgrimage, whether or not you were able to join it, shows a visible bond of communion that assures “the unity of the pilgrim Church” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 815) and reminds us that we do not  have to journey to far-off holy places to go on mission. Every place our feet touch can be holy ground if, as we tread it, we seek to draw ever closer to our Eucharistic Lord, who longs to make himself present to us and to all, not only in the Mass, but in every moment. Author:Fatima Monterrubio Cruess is the Resource Coordinator for the Catholic Apostolate Center.

Hello to you listening in Manassas, Virginia!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds (and a bit more for a story tip) for Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga.For over 30 years I've keynoted, written, taught and consulted on the “sorcery of stories.” Sounds rather magical and mystical, right? But there's no witchcraft here. Only good old-fashioned narrative and imagination at work to interpret events, assign meaning, configure our stories, communicate insights, explain Truths, and shape our perspectives.  At its best, the "sorcery of stories” offers us a means to explore, understand, and reframe old narratives about ourselves so that we might reframe our perspective to celebrate challenges overcome, doubts erased, and fears undone.If you are curious about how to reframe the old narrative you've been telling yourself and reframe your perception about that narrative, I have a simple 3-part story structure for you to work with.Think about an old story that's still rattling around in your brain. Complete each of these 3 phrases, in order:  If you had told me 20 years ago that I would [fill in the blank]I might have [fill in the blank]but instead if you could see me now I'm [fill in the blank].Here's my story: If you had told me 20 years ago that I would walk 500 miles across Spain estoy solo on pilgrimage I might have derided and dismissed that idea as one for foolish, time-wasting dreamers; but instead if you could see me now (having walked those 500 miles on foot) I'm set free to be me, walking into my own life, fully deserving of what I have loved all along.      Story Prompt: Now your turn to reframe your narrative, reframe your perspective. Write that story! And tell it out loud!You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!" Speaking of magic, I hope you'll subscribe, share a 5-star rating and nice review on your social media or podcast channel of choice, bring your friends and rellies, and join us!

While on retreats to pilgrimage sites in search of beauty and the contemplative life, from history, the monastics, the sense of community and conviviality that is a part of the every day life in Italy - Judith shares how we can create balance in our lives when we bring some simple pleasures into the every day, wherever we are in the world.If you would like to deepen your interior life or appreciate the sacred in daily life, Judith's book - The Italian Soul is a wonderful Invitation.

He shares his transformation through a spiritual crisis and, ultimately, his creation of a more meaningful life. He provides four intersecting maps to help guide readers through the experiential process of metaphoric death, reclaiming the soul, and sharing one's genius with others. These four maps—the cosmological map, psychological map, alchemical map, and mythopoetic map—draw on the mythological stages of Joseph Campbell, Carl Jung's process of individuation, the Tibetan Buddhist alchemy of conscious rebirth, and the astrological phenomenon of the precession of the equinoxes, offering a detailed philosophical underpinning for the soul's journey to immortality. He also provides in-depth visualization practices based on ancient Tibetan wisdom to support you on the path of self-realization.Integrating Tibetan Buddhism with psychology, trauma healing, neuroscience, and mythology, along with profound personal experience, Neale provides a step-by-step manual for spiritual rebirth, revealing how to reframe life's unrelenting challenges and transitions as opportunities for psychological growth.Dr. Miles Neale, PsyD is a psychotherapist in private practice, teacher of Tibetan Buddhism, founder of the Gradual Path for inner and outer journeys, author of Gradual Awakening, and co-editor of Advances in Contemplative Psychotherapy.His forthcoming book, Return with Elixir: Four Maps for the Pilgrimage of the Soul Through Death and Rebirth (Inner Traditions, 2025), integrates Joseph Campbell's mythology, Carl Jung's psychology, Tibetan Buddhist alchemy, and the precession of the equinoxes.Over the past twenty-five years, Miles has fused Eastern spirituality with Western psychology.

By David Marcum - Our pilgrimage as Christians starts on the day we are baptized and ends on the day that we die. The only human to ever complete that pilgrimage perfectly was Jesus Christ. The only way we will succeed is to follow Jesus. What was His secret? What did He do and how did He know the way and how can we

David & Barbara Leeman founded Hosanna Hymnals to preserve and introduce classic hymns of the church to a new generation. Barbara taught private piano and classroom music and served 23 years at a Christian school in Texas. David served over 40 years as minister of music and worship at churches in California, Oregon, Illinois & Texas. They are co-authors of Hosannas Forever: Hymns of Heaven and our Pilgrimage. To open the program, Jim noted the appreciation so many VCY listeners have for the traditional, sacred music played on the network. Such music is often comprised of hymns and spiritual songs that direct our hearts to the Lord as we praise Him for who He is and His wonderful works. So while Christian music can cover a broad range of doctrinal and theological topics, unfortunately in the church at large, hymnody has fallen out of favor in our day. Why is this? It may be because we have it so easy in our day whereas hymns were often written out of trials, suffering, longing and need. There's the fact that Christian music today is often derived primarily from the writer's emotions. Then there's the factor of commercialism. As these factors have affected Christian music, guess what got left out? It's the topic of heaven. Review this broadcast and find out what your personal and corporate worship may be missing as David and Barbara describe the tremendous blessing that comes from singing the hymns of heaven!

The effects of the Anointing of the Sick are numerous and deeply transformative. In times of great need and temptation, this sacrament brings us strength, courage, peace, and the forgiveness of sins. Fr. Mike explains that these effects aren't only for the individual recipient but for the whole ecclesial community. We learn that when a person approaches the threshold of death, joining this anointing with Reconciliation and the Eucharist as viaticum constitute “the sacraments that complete the earthly pilgrimage.” Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 1520-1525. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.
