Podcasts about Purgatorio

As we have done throughout PURGATORIO, let's read through a chunk of the canticle to get the plot down so that we can then focus on the many moving parts that comprise it.Here are cantos XXX and XXXI, in many ways the climax of the first part of COMEDY: the arrival of Beatrice, long awaited since INFERNO, Canto II.Her arrival is like nothing we can expect. In fact, it's her second coming . . . like Christ, in judgment. Get ready. She's not one to be toyed with![01:29] A read-through of PURGATORIO, Cantos XXX and XXXI.

The pilgrim has found the perfect perch to see the full scope and length of the parade of allegories at the top of the Mount Purgatory in the garden of Eden.After the griffin and its chariot come seven merry women and seven more somber men. They are complex allegories that have inspired much debate.More than that, they are also an atemporal moment, something outside of chronological time, the way revelation most often happens.Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as we look more closely at the end of the (first half of the) apocalyptic parade our pilgrim witnesses from across the river Lethe.If you'd like to help with the many costs of this podcast, please consider a very small monthly stipend or a one-time gift, using this PayPal link right here.Here are the segments for this episode of WALKING WITH DANTE:[01:13] My English translation of PURGATORIO, Canto XXIX, Lines 121 - 154. If you'd like to read along or continue the conversation with me, please find the entry for this episode on my website: markscarbrough.com.[04:34] The three theological virtues (or colors)--which cause a rereading of previous moments in the great parade.[09:02] The four cardinal or philosophical virtues, clothed in purple, a deep, imperial red.[12:00] The seven men who end the parade as seen through the now standard (or consensus) interpretation: the latter books of the New Testament.[16:06] Alternate interpretations: the allegories as a parade of revelation, rather than strictly the books of the Bible.[20:38] The metapoetics of living, walking books.[21:24] The temporal anomaly of the grand parade.[24:11] Rereading the entire parade: PURGATORIO, Canto XXIX, lines 43 - 154.

The parade goes on to include a Roman, two-wheeled, victory chariot between the four animals. It's a brilliant moment, a chariot better than even famous Roman conquerors got, pulled by a griffin, a legendary two-natured creature . . . yet with a curious moment of emptiness right in all of the victory.Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as we continue deeper into the allegory of the parade of revelation at the top of Mount Purgatory.Here are the segments for this episode of WALKING WITH DANTE:[01:32] My English translation of PURGATORIO, Canto XXIX, lines 106 - 120. If you'd like to read along or continue the conversation about this passage with me, please find its entry on my website, markscarbrough.com.[03:13] The changing nature of allegory at the top of Mount Purgatory.[09:38] The poetics of the passage: extreme concision and more of Guido Cavalcanti's pastoral poetry.[13:26] Roman military history in the passage: Scipio the Younger and Caesar Augustus.[17:41] Roman (or Ovidian) mythology in the passage: Phaëthon and the sun's chariot.[21:39] The griffin: ancient, medieval, and allegorical (but of what?).[27:20] The great aporia: the chariot is empty![28:51] Rereading the passage: PURGATORIO, Canto XXIX, lines 106 - 120.

The parade goes on, now that the pilgrim, Dante, is in a good spot to see it.After the twenty-four lords in white come four animals with green fronds as crowns. They are like the Cherubim in both the prophecies of Ezekiel and in the Apocalypse of St. John (or the book of Revelation).Except not really. Or sort of. Well, the poet doesn't have time to explain. Go read the text yourself. And especially the one that doesn't quite agree with what I saw.Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as we find Dante's irony alive and well, even during the grand parade of divine revelation.Here are the segments for this episode of WALKING WITH DANTE:[01:20] My English translation of PURGATORIO, Canto XXIX, Lines 88 - 105. If you'd like to read along or continue the conversation with me, please find the entry for this episode on my website, markscarbrough.com.[02:56] The naturalistic, lush landscape à la Guido Cavalcanti's pastoral poem.[04:49] The constellations, Argus, and the peacock.[06:35] The four "animals" from Ezekiel and the Apocalypse of St. John (or the New Testament book of Revelation).[09:19] Allegorical interpretations of the four animals.[11:19] "Unmoored" allegories in COMEDY: here and with the three beasts in INFERNO, Canto I.[14:02] Dante, the Biblical text, and questions of its inerrancy.[16:25] The direct address tot he reader, perhaps a wild bit of Dantean irony even here in the divine parade.[21:34] Rereading the passage: PURGATORIO, Canto XXIX, lines 88 - 105.

Il regalo di Natale di PDR è un approfondimento su uno dei più importanti libri della tradizione italiana: la Divina Commedia. Parlo con Claudio Giunta – medievalista e saggista – dell'importanza di Dante: la bellezza della lingua, il realismo nei personaggi, le tecniche narrative che per alcuni aspetti anticipano il romanzo moderno, e la distanza tra la sua visione del mondo (aldilà, libero arbitrio) e la nostra. Leggiamo e commentiamo passaggi meno noti di Purgatorio e Paradiso, Dante osservatore di fenomeni fisici, e alcuni luoghi dell'Inferno (da Maometto e Fra Dolcino alla celebre immagine delle lucciole). Entriamo nel laboratorio dantesco: come studiava, perché non esiste un manoscritto autografo della Commedia, come funziona la filologia del testo dantesco, che aspetto aveva il manoscritto, e come Dante lavorava da “editor” del suo poema. Parliamo di ricezione e di canone, poi ci spostiamo sul rapporto classici/pop: dal Dark Romance a Taylor Swift passando per Clerks e I Soprano's e Succession— con una deviazione sulla ginnastica come fenomeno popolare. Chiudiamo con il progetto di Giunta sui commenti alla Commedia: perché oggi vale la pena leggere Dante.

The parade goes on! Our pilgrim, Dante, turns back from Virgil's amazement and finds more of the parade coming toward him . . . at least, he does so after he's reprimanded by the lady who stands across Lethe.In this passage, the poet's craft heightens to reveal gorgeous poetry that comes from the apocalyptic tradition but far exceeds its beauty with both the Easter eggs Dante puts in the text and the ways the poetry itself enhances the wonder of the parade at hand.Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as we work through our second passage on the parade of revelation in the Garden of Eden at the top of Mount Purgatory.Here are the segments for this episode of WALKING WITH DANTE:[01:19] My English translation of PURGATORIO, Canto XXIX, lines 58 - 87. If you'd like to read along or continue the conversation with me, please find the entry for this podcast episode on my website, markscarbrough.com.[04:09] The tradition of apocalyptic literature and Dante's use of it.[08:44] Biblical references in this part of the apocalyptic parade.[13:54] Contemporary cultural references in the parade.[16:01] Surprises: Dante's changes to Biblical imagery, his Easter eggs to his own text, and his idiosyncratic word choices.[20:07] Possible allegorical interpretations for the twenty-four lords (or elders) and the distance of ten paces between the lights.[25:20] The poetry of the parade: colorful brushwork and gorgeous (if incomplete) reflections in Lethe.[28:43] More on emergent revelation.[31:47] Rereading PURGATORIO, Canto XXIX, lines 58 - 87.

As the pilgrim, his poets, and the beautiful lady continue to stand beside Lethe, they see the approaching parade of the apocalypse, which is an example of emergent revelation, the truth coming in slowly and even deceptively.Our poet has set up a poetic space that leaves even Virgil speechless as we witness the first of the parade of multiple, open-ended meanings proliferate in the Garden of Eden.Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as we catch our first glimpse of Dante's answer to St. John's Apocalypse.If you'd like to help underwrite the many fees associated with this podcast, please consider a one-time donation or a very small monthly stipend, using this PayPal link right here.Here are the segments for this episode of WALKING WITH DANTE:[01:16] My English translation of PURGATORIO, Canto XXIX, Lines 31 - 57.

2025 Maya Angelou Book Award winner Alison C. Rollins joins co-hosts Whitney Terrell and V. V. Ganeshananthan to discuss her 2024 poetry collection Black Bell. She explores the history and symbolism of a bell-laden iron device used to control and torture enslaved people and describes the replica she created after studying metalworking. She also recounts the story of Harriet Jacobs, who spent seven years hidden in her grandmother's attic before escaping slavery. Rollins talks about how her poems engage in call and response with other texts, including the music of Sun Ra and Stevie Wonder and images connected to ornithology, anatomy, Afrofuturism, and the history of slavery. She reflects on who has historically been granted the title of “poet” in America and discusses the archival research behind her writing. Rollins rings a glass bell and reads several poems from Black Bell.To hear the full episode, subscribe through iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher, Spotify, or your favorite podcast app (include the forward slashes when searching).

Our pilgrim, Dante, and the beautiful lady across Lethe walk on for a bit before the stream bends and the pilgrim ends up facing the right way to see the first flash of light that will signal the great apocalyptic parade in Eden.The opening of PURGATORIO, Canto XXIX, brings us back to the pastoral world of Guido Cavalcanti's poem before launching us into allegory, theology, morality, and even misogyny.If you'd like to help underwrite the many fees for this podcast, please consider a one-time donation or a small monthly stipend using this PayPal link right here.Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as we find ourselves at the front of the great parade in Eden.Here are the segments for this episode of WALKING WITH DANTE:[01:27] My English translation of PURGATORIO, Canto XXIX, Lines 1 - 30. If you'd like to read along or continue the conversation by dropping a comment, please find the entry for this episode on my website, markscarbrough.com.[04:07] An introduction to PURGATORIO, Canto XXIX.[06:59] The only canto in COMEDY that begins with a derivative of the word "canto."[08:24] More references to Guido Calvalcanti's pastoral poem.[11:44] A psalm retrofitted to become a beatitude, moving us from the classical world to divine revelation.[14:31] The symbolism (and allegory?) of their paces and the stream's bend.[18:00] Sight and hearing as the basis but not nearly enough, as with Guido Cavalcanti's poem.[19:02] The lady's reaction ("brother") and the pilgrim's reaction (a lack of fear).[21:45] The misogyny from the initial flash of light.[28:59] Rereading the passage: PURGATORIO, Canto XXIX, lines 1 - 30.

The beautiful lady winds up her discourse with a corollary that combines both revelation and reason to offer a fulcrum to COMEDY as a whole: The classical world dreamed of Eden.Redemption is a cul-de-sac, returning us to our primal state while also offering us a way to remain readers of the classical world's poetry.Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as we explore the end of the lady's discourse, the longest speech by a woman yet in COMEDY.Here are the segments for this episode of WALKING WITH DANTE:[01:15] My English translation of PURGATORIO, Canto XXVIII, lines 134 - 148. If you'd like to read along or drop a comment on this episode to continue the conversation, please find the entry for this episode on my website: markscarbrough.com.[02:55] Revelation and reason as coequals in scholastic theology.[06:52] The Golden Age and the Garden of Eden as overlapping spaces and the cul-de-sac of revelation.[09:14] The pilgrim (and indeed, the poem) in the cul-de-sac with the classical poets on one side and the beautiful lady on the other.[12:27] The longest speech by a woman yet in COMEDY.[16:57] Rereading this passage: PURGATORIO, Canto XXVIII, lines 134 - 148.

The lady across the stream continues her answer to the pilgrim Dante's question about the breeze and the water. In this case, she explains the ecology of Eden, offers an understanding of global botany, and finally layers the meaning thick over the rivers of Eden, one of which is the poet's utter invention.The landscape itself is becoming allegorical, moral, theological, even anagogical, all while remaining true to its pastoral form (and roots).Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as we delve deeper into the lady's capacious answers and the poet's ever-widening imagination.If you'd like the help defray the many costs and fees associated with this website, please consider a one-time donation or a small monthly stipend through this PayPal link right here.Here are the segments for this episode of WALKING WITH DANTE:[01:31] My English translation of PURGATORIO, Canto XXVIII, lines 109 - 133. If you'd like to read along or continue the conversation with me, please find the entry for this episode on my website, markscarbrough.com.[04:09] The botany of both Eden and our own world.[07:28] The ecology of Eden: abundance.[11:05] The hydrology of Eden.[14:03] The strange placement of Lethe in Dante's afterlife.[17:15] The poet's reimagination of Eden, including an unprecedented river.[20:23] The vertical layering of meaning onto the pastoral form.[23:09] The inevitable logical faults of an imagined landscape.[25:48] Rereading the passage: PURGATORIO, Canto XXVIII, lines 109 - 133.

Las Ánimas Benditas del Purgatorio son los espíritus de aquellas personas que ya fallecieron. Sin embargo, se dice que para que sean capaces de entrar al cielo primero deben purificarse por completo, y mientras eso sucede, quedan suspendidas… o atrapadas… en un cierto lugar que se le conoce como el Purgatorio. Ahí “purgan” sus penas y pecados, y una vez que su espíritu está limpio es cuando trascienden al cielo.Se dice que nosotros, desde este plano terrenal podemos ayudarlos en dicho proceso, para que trasciendan más rápida y fácilmente. Esto se hace a través de oraciones por ellos, dedicándoles misas, honrando su memoria y pidiendo por su descanso eterno.En agradecimiento, estás animas suelen cumplir las peticiones de aquellas personas que han rezado por ellas. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬Macabra experiencia con las Ánimas Benditas del Purgatorio | Las Ánimas del Purgatorio Relatos de terror reales | Frecuencia Paranormal FP | Podcast de Historias de terror reales► Lugar de los hechos : No especificado► Año: 2004► Experiencia real de Joseph Medina▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬Te invitamos a seguirnos en todas nuestras redes sociales.

The lady in Eden says she's come to answer the pilgrim's questions. And he's got one. It just might not be the first question on our minds.But it's one that reveals the hall of mirrors that the poet has created in COMEDY, in which the poem itself justifies its own fictional if scientific answers to questions that lead the fictional pilgrim (and the very real reader) to a position of faith, based on the imagined landscape.Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as we work through the first of the lady's speech with our pilgrim (as well as Virgil and Statius) in the Garden of Eden at the top of Mount Purgatory.Here are the segments for this episode of WALKING WITH DANTE:[01:27] My English translation of PURGATORIO, Canto XXVIII, lines 85 - 108.

The lady in the forest has come to face the pilgrim and his poets across the stream in the forest.The pilgrim clearly feels a sexual attraction toward her, one that might even make us think of his reactions to Beatrice.She, however, has other ideas, like answering their many questions. Except in so doing, she raises even more questions than she has time to answer.Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as we work through this passage in PURGATORIO in which we first learn we're wandering around in the Garden of Eden.Here are the segments for this episode of WALKING WITH DANTE:[01:37] My English translation of PURGATORIO, Canto XXVIII, lines 67 - 84.

Our pilgrim, Dante, calls the solitary lady over to him. She can't cross the stream that divides them, but she can dance in place before coming closer to him.All the while, the poet keeps darkening the poetry around her with threatening references in the pilgrim's mouth--that is, classical examples of profane love that end up in tragic circumstances.And all this, despite our poet quoting repeatedly from his rival poet's poem.Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as we watch meaning get thicker and thicker at the top of Mount Purgatory.If you'd like to help support this podcast by underwriting its many fees, please consider a one-time donation or a small monthly stipend, using this PayPal link right here.Here are the segments for this episode of WALKING WITH DANTE:[01:30] My English translation of PURGATORIO, Canto XXVIII, lines 43 - 66. If you'd like to read along or drop a comment about this episode to continue the conversation, please find its spot on my website, markscarbrough.com.[03:53] What if wandering is the start of some of the most significant journeys?[08:22] My interpretive thesis: The solitary lady is the only fully fictional character in COMEDY.[12:30] The poet Dante is cribbing a pastoral poem by his literary rival, Guido Cavalcanti.[18:14] Two reasons Dante may have cribbed Cavalcanti's pastoral poem: 1) to assuage Dante's own guilt in Cavalcanti's death or 2) to show the limits of Cavalcanti's (and others') poetry.[22:59] Two classical exemplars from Ovid--Proserpina and Venus--darken the passage considerably.[27:48] Rereading the passage: PURGATORIO, Canto XXVIII, lines 43 - 66.

Our pilgrim continues walking through the old-growth forest, so dark that very little light can get into its cooling shade.He is eventually blocked by two seemingly small things: a little brook flowing to the left and a solitary lady across the way, singing and picking flowers.But the poet Dante gives us hints that all is already not what it seems.Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as we continue our journey across the top of Mount Purgatory . . . and notice that meaning is becoming layered over the naturalist details our pilgrim innocently notices.If you'd like to help cover the fees for this podcast with a one-time donation or a small monthly stipend, you can do so at this PayPal link right here.Here are the segments for this episode of WALKING WITH DANTE:[01:07] My English translation of PURGATORIO, Canto XXVIII, lines 22 - 42. If you'd like to read along or continue the conversation with me by dropping a comment about this episode, please do so on my website: markscarbrough.com.[03:03] A glance back to the start of the canto . . . and a glance back to the start of INFERNO.[05:59] More repeated words in the poetry.[07:31] Naturalistic details and the initial layering of metaphysical, moral, or allegorical meaning.[16:30] No geographical understanding of this place (yet) . . . but a literary understanding of it: pastoral poetry.[22:48] The unnamed, solitary lady as an interpretive trap.[24:57] Rereading the passage: PURGATORIO, Canto XXVIII, lines 22 - 42.

Jannik Sinner conclude l'anno battendo Alcaraz e conquistando le ATP Finals di Torino per la seconda volta. Intanto, gli Azzurri vengono travolti dalla Norvegia e dovranno superare gli spareggi per accedere ai prossimi Mondiali di calcio.

Our pilgrim has been set free--crowned and mitered, in fact--and can wander at will through the dense, thick wood that tops Mount Purgatory.The opening lines of Canto XXVIII are fully from the pilgrim's point of view. They offer us a wealth of naturalistic detail that looks simple on first blush but that will get layered with sedimentary meaning over the next five and a half cantos.This place is unprecedented in all of COMEDY. Let's see it for what it is, without delving into the exact answers to the questions of where we are. Join me, Mark Scarbrough, for the opening lines of the third "chapter" of PURGATORIO.Here are the segments for this episode of WALKING WITH DANTE:[01:17] My English translation of the passage: PURGATORIO, Canto XXVIII, lines 1 - 21. If you'd like to read along or continue the conversation with me, please find the entry for this episode on my website, markscarbrough.com.[04:11] First detail: eagerness as the prime motivation.[06:08] Second detail: first hints about the prominent poetics in the passage.[08:42] Third detail: naturalistic imagery that isn't.[11:04] Fourth detail: the beginnings of polyphony (and dissonance).[13:09] Fifth detail: the pine forest at Classe.[14:47] First nuanced point: wandering away and perhaps a resonance with Geryon.[17:50] Second nuanced point: a Saharan wind in this verdant place (and perhaps an echo of Juno's storm that drives Aeneas into Dido's arms).[20:31] First major interpretive node: constancy as the changed strategy for the poem.[23:08] Second major interpretive node: the four verdant or forested landscapes of COMEDY before this one.[31:57] Rereading the passage: PURGATORIO, Canto XXVIII, lines 1 - 21.

Mostly Heaven ambience. Shepherdstown, West Virginia — a favorite recording place of mine. But this time, with a twist: we're adding the “almost” to the “heaven” this week with the help of some pink noise, cymbals, and synth. Or the “heaven” to the “almost.”My daughter and I went to Handmade Christmas in Shepherdstown, WV, and she said to the festive hot-chocolate guy, “You look like you really love Christmas.” And we got doubles and some Reindeer Munch at the local popcorn place. It was just me and the youngest this weekend on a mission to treat the weekend like a ****** sleepover. I also wanted to show support for a favorite business after a congressional rug-pull this week. If I could call forth one fictional lunatic to fight the overbearing bureaucratic nonsense of today, it would be Timothy Hutton's character in Turk 182. But let's face it — The Turk 182 guy would be ineffective in today's realities. No one is going to care if you spray some sick graffiti on the mayor's van. No one is going to pay attention if you send up a banner plane to shame a bureaucrat with a seven character sky note. However, Turk 182 guy is persistent and unhinged, and he would unleash wacky havoc.You're thinking, “I didn't come to a sound podcast to read about politics.” And so I will not descend into cloud-shouting toward political tight-assed villainy hence forth. If you would rather be in Purgatorio, click here. And if you like what you hear give me a follow on your podcast app! Otherwise the next episode is going to be from my sister's chicken coup and trust me that **** is not chill.

El último peldaño (31/10/2025) EXTRAÑAS LUCES SOBRE EL ATLÁNTICO La semana pasada entrevistamos a Joaquín Ferrer, miembro de la tripulación de un avión que se dirigía al aeropuerto de Alicante observó unas luces que no aparecían en el radar, ni del propio avión ni de otras compañías con las que estaban en contacto. Tras la emisión del programa empezaron a llegarnos mas noticias sobre esas extrañas luces, incluso de pilotos que llevaban tiempo visualizándolas sin darle una explicación. En este programa hablamos con el Comandante de aviación Francisco Contreras, piloto que ha visto las luces en algunos de sus vuelos y vimos imágenes de las mismas grabadas de Córdoba y Zaragoza, enviadas por Francisco Cobos. Contamos con el análisis de Cristian Puig. ÁNIMAS BENDITAS Y LEYENDAS DE LA NOCHE DE DIFUNTOS En la Noche de Difuntos, cuando el velo entre mundos se vuelve más delgado, recordamos a las ánimas benditas: almas que vagan entre la tierra y el más allá, esperando nuestras oraciones para alcanzar la paz. La Noche de Difuntos no es solo oscuridad y misterio; es también memoria, recogimiento y vínculo con quienes ya partieron. En muchas tradiciones, se encienden velas, se dejan panes y se murmuran rezos, como puentes de luz para que las almas encuentren descanso. Hoy, al evocarlas, honramos el poder de la memoria y el amor que trasciende la muerte. . Con el historiador Juan Francisco Belmar hablamos de los orígenes históricos de la Noche de Difuntos y la creencia en las Ánimas del Purgatorio. También analizamos una curiosa fotografía tomada durante la representación de Don Juan Tenorio en el cementerio de San Javier. Nos la trajo Raquel Hernández. LA NOCHE DE LAS PSICOFONIAS ¿VOCES DEL MÁS ALLÁ?

We've come to the top of Mount Purgatory, on the other side of the globe from Jerusalem and the closest earth ever comes to the heavens above.Our pilgrim, Dante, begins to wander around in this new place, almost unprecedented in the poem (except for perhaps that hill and those three beasts back in INFERNO, Canto I). This episode of WALKING WITH DANTE is a read-through of the first two cantos (of six) that take place at the top of the mountain. Sit back and listen for the plot before we begin to dive into these complicated passages one by one.If you'd like to help support this podcast, please consider a small monthly stipend or a one-time gift, using this PayPal link right here.

En este episodio, El Cocodrilo abre sus micrófonos para hablar de una de las tradiciones más entrañables de México: el Día de Muertos. Sergio Almazán nos guía por los altares, los panteones y las calles iluminadas por velas y cempasúchil, para descubrir el sentido profundo de una celebración que une la vida y la muerte en una misma ofrenda. Sergio explica que la historia de esta festividad es más compleja de lo que imaginamos. Aunque muchos piensan que su origen es puramente indígena, en realidad el culto a los fieles difuntos llegó desde Europa en la Edad Media, cuando la Iglesia Católica instituyó el Día de Todos los Santos y el de las Ánimas del Purgatorio. Con la colonización, esas prácticas se entrelazaron con las creencias prehispánicas sobre la muerte, dando lugar a una rica diversidad de ceremonias que hoy siguen vivas en todo el país. Entre historia, memoria y costumbre, El Cocodrilo nos recuerda que el Día de Muertos es un reflejo profundo de la manera en que los mexicanos entendemos la vida, la muerte y la memoria. Porque cada flor encendida en el altar es una forma de decir que la vida no termina, sólo cambia de casa.

En este episodio, conocerás historias reales de almas del purgatorio que se han manifestado pidiendo oraciones, misas y sacrificios. A través de testimonios documentados y experiencias místicas de los santos descubrirás el misterioso vínculo entre los vivos y las almas que aún esperan su purificación.

P. Juan Pablo (México)Jesús nos invita en el Evangelio a actuar con perspectiva de eternidad y ser generosos en la atención a los más necesitados[Ver Meditación Escrita] https://www.hablarconjesus.com/meditacion_escrita/encontrarnos-a-jesus-en-los-pobres/

Meditación en el día de la Conmemoración de todos los fieles difuntos, sirviéndonos de unas palabras de la encíclica Spes Salvi de Benedicto XVI y algunas ideas de Dante en su Divina Comedia. Estamos hechos para la vida eterna. Nuestras opciones de vida deciden nuestro destino final. Pero, aún orientados a Dios, tantas veces elegimos mal. El purgatorio es el remedio del amor de Dios para que podamos disfrutar de la eternidad siendo nuestra mejor posibilidad, nuestro mejor yo. Si no existiera, habría que inventarlo.

P. Rafael (Venezuela)Hoy es un día especial para vivir la comunión de los santos. Vamos a ayudar a esas almas del Purgatorio, pensado cómo quisiéramos que nos ayudaran también a nosotros si estuviésemos en su lugar. Es el deber de caridad que sentimos hoy los cristianos[Ver Meditación Escrita] https://www.hablarconjesus.com/meditacion_escrita/purificacion/ 

Siempre estamos obligados a amar y ayudar al otro, pero cuanto mayor es la necesidad de nuestro prójimo, mayor y más estricta es nuestra obligación. ¡Escasamente encontramos a gente que trabaja por las Almas del Purgatorio! El Padre Pedro nos habla de la importancia de rezar por esas almas. Además, responde preguntas llegadas al programa vía telefónica, el correo electrónico (padrepedro@ewtn.com) y Facebook (www.facebook.com/ppedronunez).

Celebramos el Domingos 31 Ordinarios del ciclo C-  y la Liturgia celebra hoy 2 de Noviembre LA CONMEMORACIÓN DE LOS FIELES DIFUNTOS, invitándonos a reflexionar sobre el misterio de la muerte y lo que nos espera más allá de la muerte. Hoy todos juntos en la Iglesia y como Iglesia recordamos de manera especial a nuestros seres queridos que han dejado este mundo y han ido al encuentro feliz con el Padre, ellos han ido a ocupar el puesto reservado con su propio nombre desde siempre como nos lo dice Juan en el Capitulo 14, 1-6 "En la casa de mi Padre hay muchas mansiones" al decir muchas" signfica una para cada uno, porque allí estaremos tan felices y tan agusto como jamás lo hemos estado con todas las maravillas de la tierra. Es decir: allí permaneciendo en nuestra propia mansión estaremos en comunión, participación con todos. Ese es el paraíso. Allí nos esperan nuestros seres queridos quienes nos han precedido y felices nos esperan para darnos el abrazo y el beso de bienvenida. Y recordemos que estamos en el Año Santo y podemos ganar la indulgencia plenaria orando por las almas del Purgatorio sobre todo por las más olvidadas. Preparándonos con las Confesión, La Comunión y Oración y hacer alguna obra de caridad con nuestros hermanos más necesitados. Feliz  Semana.   Hna. Maria Ruth  Radio Paulinas Boston

Año XIX. Núm. 100. Conoce en qué consiste la herejía de la apocatástasis y aprende si es posible sacar un alma del infierno con nuestras oraciones.

Comenzaremos el segmento de actualidad comentando las enormes manifestaciones que tuvieron lugar en todo Estados Unidos el pasado sábado. A continuación, centraremos nuestra atención en Europa. Por primera vez en los últimos 35 años, Alemania ha emitido una alerta sobre la creciente probabilidad de que haya guerra. El segmento de ciencia lo dedicaremos al Premio Nobel de Economía 2025, concedido a Joel Mokyr, Philippe Aghion, y Peter Howitt por su trabajo sobre cómo el progreso tecnológico y la destrucción creativa posibilitan el crecimiento económico sostenido. Y, finalmente, hablaremos sobre el debate, en Estados Unidos, en torno al espectáculo del descanso durante la próxima Super Bowl. En particular, el debate se centra en cuestiones de representación y de idioma en los deportes y el mundo del entretenimiento estadounidenses. El resto del episodio de hoy lo dedicaremos a la lengua y la cultura españolas. La primera conversación incluirá ejemplos del tema de gramática de la semana, el verbo Gustar. En esta conversación hablaremos de una leyenda que encontramos en muchos lugares de España con distintas variantes. Hablamos de la Santa Compaña; una reunión de almas del Purgatorio que vagan noche tras noche. Pocos la pueden ver, pero esa visión, es su maldición. Y, en nuestra última conversación, aprenderemos a usar una nueva expresión española, Como pez en el agua. La usaremos para hablar de la apasionante vida que tuvo la actriz estadounidense Ava Gardner en la capital de España. En los años cincuenta, la estrella americana descubrió una España atrasada, pero alegre y divertida. Su amor por el cante flamenco, los toros y la fiesta era por todos bien conocido. Millones de personas acuden a las manifestaciones “No Kings” en todo Estados Unidos en apoyo a la democracia Las autoridades federales alemanas publican una guía que alerta sobre la posibilidad de que haya guerra El Premio Nobel de Economía 2025 es una alerta oportuna sobre el progreso Bad Bunny anima a los aficionados al fútbol americano a que aprendan español La Santa Compaña Ava Gardner, una mujer libre en la España de Franco

We have come to the climax of Virgil's in COMEDY: the apex of his character, the moment when he is what he should have been all along, a poignant and fitting summit for this most difficult figure in the poem.Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as we stand at the top of the final staircase on Mount Purgatory and take our first steps into the Garden of Eden with the pilgrim who is ready to continue on his own, with crown and miter in hand, thanks all to Virgil, the best guide he could have had.Please consider supporting this work by offering a one-time donation or a small monthly stipend through this PayPal link right here.Here are the segments for this episode of WALKING WITH DANTE:[02:11] My English translation of PURGATORIO, Canto XXVII, lines 124 - 142.

We come to the climax of Virgil's character in the poem, the end of PURGATORIO, Canto XXVII. Let's take this dramatic and chilling scene in two episodes, starting with the moment our pilgrim, Dante, wakes up from his third dream on the mountain.Virgil steps forward to offer a grand and perhaps new hope. The journey is not about the need for justice. It's now about the search for peace.Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as we work through this first of two passages where Virgil's character reaches its most accurate and compelling focus.Please support this work with a one-time donation or a small monthly stipend, using this PayPal link right here.Here are the segments for this episode of WALKING WITH DANTE:[02:26] My English translation of PURGATORIO, Canto XXVII, lines 109 -123.

Our pilgrim has lain down on a step of the final staircase of Mount Purgatory, positioned between Statius below and Virgil above him.As he watches the large and bright stars, he suddenly falls asleep to dream of Leah (and her sister Rachel) in an Edenic garden, the hope for self-reflection bound up in the promise of the contemplative life.This dream may well begin to sum up Dante's notion of how a human finds the divine.Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as we walk through the final dream of PURGATORIO.Consider donating to keep this work afloat by using this PayPal link right here.Here are the segments for this episode of WALKING WITH DANTE:[01:29] My English translation of PURGATORIO, Canto XXVII, lines 91 - 108.

One, a pre-fall Even and a post-redemption Eve in the Garden of Eden.[12:50] Two, a Biblical dream after two classical dreams, but all deeply sexual in nature.[17:26] Three, two modes for revelation: the active life and the contemplative life.[19:03] Dantean psychology: finding the divine in the beloved leads to finding the divine in the self.[23:22] Rereading the passage: PURGATORIO, Canto XXVII, lines 91 - 108.

Our pilgrim has entered the flames of lust. For the first time, he is not a voyeur of the torments. He experiences them on the last terrace of lust.He then hears a call to enter Paradise . . . before he falls asleep on the mountain's rocky staircase.Problem is, those flames don't burn up irony.
