From the responsorial psalm: "God is our refuge and our strength, an ever-present help in distress. Therefore, we fear not, though the earth be shaken and mountains plunge into the depths of the sea. The waters of the river gladden the city of God, the holy dwelling of the Most High!" A reading from the holy Gospel according to John (Jn 2:13-22) Jesus answered and said to them, "Destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up." The Jews said, "This temple has been under construction for forty-six years, and you will raise it up in three days?" But he was speaking about the temple of his Body. The Jewish Passover is near, and many pilgrims travel to Jerusalem to worship at the temple. As Jesus enters the temple area, he finds people selling oxen, sheep, and doves. Money changers are seated there. In response, with a whip made of cords, he drives them all out and overturns the tables of the money changers. And he says to those selling doves, "Take these out of here, and stop making my Father's house a marketplace." John makes clear what would otherwise be puzzling. Jesus refers to the "temple of his Body" in the same way Saint Paul refers to the Spirit that dwells in God's holy temple: "Do you not know that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?" Where the Spirit of God dwells—our bodies—is not the place for a noisy, cluttered exchange of things and ideas but a quieted dwelling place to receive the person of Jesus. God, as a way to understand the Gospel, let me consider what today's feast represents for the Church and what it means to me. The dedication feast calls attention to the Church on earth as the Body of Christ and a sign of what is yet to be in our eternal dwelling place in heaven. The disciples recognized the zeal of Jesus in the temple area but only after the resurrection came to understand that the temple of the Body would need to die and rise before we also could be restored to eternal life. The Gospel acclamation says, "I have chosen and consecrated this house, says the Lord, that my name may be there forever." All thanks and praise to you, Lord, that you have made me to be your holy dwelling place even as I long for my eternal home in the life of the world to come. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

In today's Spiritual Foundation Episode, I talk about John 2: 13-22. I share how we are challenged by Jesus to do worship the “right” way. I also share how Jesus seems to be focused on the distraction we have from the “main thing”. Show Notes and Resources.
Raise It Up, Wy!
Jon and Fintan talk a little bit in the intro. Not too much, though [0:00 - 4:21], but they do shoehorn in mentions of podcast sponsors BWise Media and Clarion Gaming, of course. Then it's Jon flying solo in the company of the excellent Rebbecca Scales and KerryJane Craigie. Rebbecca has been a part of the Women's Poker Association's growth for some time, while Kerry Jane has recently been voted on to the organisation's board, while also serbving as Director of Poker Operations at London's much-loved Hippodrome Casino. They discuss issues with getting womeon in the door for poker, and then getting them to return a second time and beyond; what dirves female players away from poker rooms? And what can be done about it? We also talk about the WPA's Raise It Up campaign, so poker rooms around the world can establish a baseline for players to feel protected and for standards to be maintained [4:22 - 42:01].
