Ich war mal wieder auf der Biennale in Venedig, die nach dem Zeigen von (hervorragender) Kunst in 2024, in diesem Jahr architekturinteressierte Besucher anlocken möchte, um die Stadtkassen zu füllen; 10 € Eintritt kostet Venedig aktuell pro Person, die Biennale 25 € . Man könnte fast meinen, das Studio B Kollektiv reihe sich absichtlich Jahr für Jahr ein in den Tross der Venedig-Biennalebesucherinnen: die Männer uniformiert in weißen Leinenhosen und Panamahüten, die weiblich gelesenen Kulturmenschen in wehenden floralgemusterten Sommergewändern mit einem Sonnenschirm in der Hand, den man post-sale mit einem bequem vertretbaren politischen Statement hat beschriften lassen.Alles falsch gedacht, waren Teile der Lob- und Verrissbrigade doch einfach nur in der Emilia-Romagna, genauer in ihrem kulinarischen Epizentrum Bologna, in dem alles, wirklich alles, schmeckt, wie in der Werbung; außer der Bolognese, die man noch so edel "Ragù" nennen kann und die doch eine unterwürzte Hackfleischsoße bleibt, egal auf welchem Restaurantniveau man sich bewegt. Das ist aber kein Beinbruch, getraut sich doch kein Bologneser, ein Restaurant zu eröffnen, ohne selbstgemachte Tagliatelle (und Unterarten) auf den Tisch zu bringen oder ein Kotelett à la Bolognese (suuuuuperdünnes Kalbskotelett mit Parmaschinken und Parmesan überbacken in, really, Soße), kurz: man kann ohne verstärkte Besuche des lokalen Fitnessklubs vor und nach dem Urlaub einen solchen nicht angehen. Unterstützend sollte es schon vor Ort und zwischen den Fressereien heißen: Bewegung, Bewegung, Bewegung! Aber das ist in Bologna kein Aufruf, das ist ein Imperativ, existieren große Teile der Innenstadt doch heute noch in ihrer mittelalterlichen Struktur. Und dennoch versucht man 10 Buslinien durch die engen Straßen zu jagen, was spektakulär fehlschlägt: wenn man nicht gerade mit einem Koffer unterwegs ist, ist man schneller zu Fuß.Das wird erleichtert durch eine 1288 eingeführte städtebauliche Vorschrift, die besagt, dass jedes in Bologna neu zu bauende Haus mit einer Arkade versehen werden muss. Die Portici, wie sie in der heimischen Zunge heißen, sind ein architektonisches Feature, bei dem die erste Etage eines an einer Straße stehenden Hauses den Fußweg überdacht. Damit das hält, baut man also Säulen unter den ersten Stock, vorn an der Straße, und fertig ist der ganzjährige Sonnen- und Regenschutz. Der Fußweg wurde dann im Allgemeinen noch mit Marmormosaiken gepflastert und verschliffen und so wandert man durch die ganze cirka 2x2km große Innenstadt wie in einem einzigen marmorierten Korridor, was die Sache auch bei klimakatastrophalen 35 Grad erträglich und durch häufige Stopps an den absurd großartigen Eisläden gar zum Vergnügen macht.Wir waren also eher zufällig perfekt auf das Motto der dieses Jahr in Venedig stattfindenden Architekturbiennale vorbereitet:Intelligens. Natural. Artificial. Collective.Ähm. Genau.Intelligens meint laut eigener Aussage: "Eine Kombination aus „Intelligenz" und Gemeinschaft; verweist sowohl auf technologische als auch auf soziale Aspekte der Architektur." Dieses Portmanteau funktioniert nur für Inhaber eines kleinen Latinum, denn nur auf Latein heißt *gens "*Volk, Gemeinschaft, ethnische Gruppe". Entsprechend wirr und mit dem Hammer passend gemacht erklären sich auch die anderen Worte: AI ist dabei, Umwelt natürlich und das Collective meint wohl, dass man auch als Architekturlaie mit palavern kann. Nichts wie hin!Der Vorteil an Bologna ist, neben den erwähnten epikuräischen Wohltaten, dass es verkehrstechnisch im Zentrum Norditaliens liegt. Für 5 € und eine Stunde Zeit kommt man von Bologna aus mit der S-Bahn nach Modena, Ravenna, Parma und wenn man den Fernzug für ein paar Euro mehr nimmt, in der gleichen Zeit bis nach Mailand oder Venedig. Also macht man das natürlich: auf in das Venedig Italiens!Wie gesagt, 2025 ist "nur" die Architekturbiennale am Start und man ahnt, dass das nicht ganz so der Publikumsmagnet ist, wenn man am Giardini des Biennale um 11:00 Uhr, zur täglichen Eröffnung, nicht anstehen muss - zur Kunstbiennale ein tägliches Ritual.Warum das so ist, wird klar, wenn man den Bruchteil des Aufwands betrachtet, der in den Zwischenjahren in die Bespielung der Pavillons im Giardini fließt: Die ČSSR (die es dort noch gibt, denn ihr Haus wurde 1926 gebaut) macht gleich ganz zu, genauso wie Venezuela. Dem Russen wird wie schon letztes Jahr das Haus weggenommen und mit Didaktischem bespielt, der Schweizer stellt Holzwände in den Pavillon, die irgendwas mit Umwelt zu tun haben. Das führt dann dazu, dass ratlose ältere Männer diese Holzwände beklopfen und so Sachen sagen wie: "Ja, nachhaltig isses scho'". Die "Nordic Countries" (Finland, Sweden, Norway) luden ein paar Künstler ein, deren Output eher dem inklusiven Laienanspruch des diesjährigen Biennalemottos entsprach. Man versuchte zum Thema "was zu machen" und was rauskommt, wenn man einem Künstler sagt, wozu er was machen soll, ist halt ein verrostetes Auto und wirre Erklärtafeln mit den Buzzwords der Saison von Ökologie bis Transsexualität, weil, verrostetes Auto! Skjønner? Förstår?! Ymmärrän?!!Wie letztes Jahr zur Kunstbiennale stach auch dieses Jahr Großbritannien hervor, auch diesmal wieder seiner kolonialen Geschichte gegenübertretend, nur mit geringerem Budget, was angesichts der monumentalen Videoinstallation in 2024 keine Kunst ist. Die verschiedenen Räume sind an ehemals kolonial Unterdrückte vermietet und diese zeigen zum Beispiel in einer raumfüllenden Balkengrafik, welches Land wie viele Umweltschäden in ihrer Geschichte angesammelt hat. Dass ich, um das zu verstehen, die zwei verschiedenen Erklärungen zweimal lesen und mir zusätzlich nochmal verbal erklären lassen musste, lag an mir, klar. Umhüllt war das britische Haus von einem Vorhang aus kleinen Glocken aus Ton und Kohle, Materialien, die seit zigtausenden Jahren in Afrika verwendet werden, um Kälte wie Wärme zu speichern und da man die Dinger bei 35 Grad im Schatten anfassen konnte, war der Effekt erfühlbar. So geht intelligentes Ausstellungsdesign.Im Verhältnis regelrecht oppulent bespielt war der deutsche Pavillon, man hatte einen Raum zur Wärmekammer umgestaltet, bei der man als Begehende die zukünftigen Temperaturen in unseren Städten am eigenen Leib erfahren konnte, dazu gab es geschmackvolle Statistiken an die Wand projiziert und die übliche Space Age Music. Viel Infotafel brauchte man nicht, um die Message zu verstehen, aber dass sich Deutschland als einzige Nation selbstverleugnend den Tafeltext in der Landessprache spart und nur in italienisch und englisch erklärt ist.. keine Ahnung was es ist.. bekloppt? Dabei sprach im Pavillon ein jeder deutsch, wie gefühlt auf der ganzen Biennale die Hälfte. Macht das Publikum zur Kunstbiennale einen auf Bohème, trifft sich zur Architekturbiennale stabil die deutsche Mittelschicht mit Papa im mittleren Management, Mutti irgendwas Soziales und den obligatorischen zwei Teenagertöchtern am Handy. Das andere Besuchermodell war der geschiedene Vater ohne Sorgerecht, der, obwohl gerade entlassen, weil AI (nein, weil er zu oft Montags gefehlt), das noch für sich behält und die ETFs angezapft hat, um den 14-jährigen Sohn drei Tage durch Venedig zu schleifen, wobei er vergeblich versucht, mit ihm per Mansplaining zu bonden. Der Balg rennt mit neutraler Miene hinterm Papa her und nickt und versucht verstohlen, mit den Teenagerinnen in Blickkontakt zu kommen. Das funktioniert leider gar nicht, denn die riechen den Odor des Verlierer-Vaters am Sohn. Bitter.Raus aus diesen deprimierenden Bienalegärten also. Gehen wir ins Arsenale, dem zweiten großen Ausstellungskomplex in den ehemaligen Schiffswerften der Stadt. Hier wird richtiges Geld verbraten und man sieht es. Zunächst geht es wieder durch einen Raum, der uns zeigen soll, wie sich Erderwärmung anfühlt. Wir haben es verstanden. Danach zeigt die Biennale, wie man Ausstellung macht. Nicht nach Ländern geordnet wie in den Kunstjahren wird hier alles gemixt und gematcht, derer man international habhaft werden kann, so dass die Qualität der Objekte unter der Quantität manchmal leidet. Das Thema ist immer noch "Irgendwas mit AI und Umwelt" und hier wird zum Glück größtenteils nicht versucht, Kunst zu machen, sondern Information zu vermitteln. Mit der Proliferation von Beamern und Flachbildschirmen ist das ein leicht anstrengendes Multimediaspektakel, bis man bemerkt, dass zwischen all dem Geflimmer immer gleich und doch leicht unterschiedlich aussehender "Krempel" steht. Nun: Die Erfindung und Kommodifizierung des 3-D-Druckers ermöglicht, eine solche Ausstellung in unvorstellbarer Geschwindigkeit mit mehr oder weniger passenden Objekten vollzukacken. Der 3-D-Drucker ist der neue Flachbildschirm. Was Architekten früher in mühevoller Klebearbeit hergestellt haben, macht jetzt der Printer und es ist meist nicht wirklich hilfreich.Ansonsten gibt es Tafeln, Filme, Installationen mit Ideen, wie man die Welt besser machen kann, die aber, so mein Gefühl, zu 90% die Welt nicht retten werden, da sie nicht skalieren. Den wohl größten Beitrag zum Umweltschutz leistet die 2025er Biennale mit dem Feature, die langen Ausstellungstexte, die, machen wir uns ehrlich, zu großen Teilen mit Hilfe von AI erzeugt wurden, wiederum mithilfe von AI auf einen Absatz zusammenzufassen und diesen unter den ausführlichen Text zu drucken. Ich hab die Zusammenfassungen letztes Jahr noch umweltschädigend selbst per Handyfoto und ChatGPT erzeugt, das sollte Schule machen!Damit so eine Bienale auch ästhetisch packt, zeigen uns eingesprengelt große Architekturbüros in teuren 3D-Animationen zum Beispiel wie man "organisch" Holzhäuser in den Jungle bauen könnte, ohne diesen zu beschädigen, das sieht dann aus wie Avatar in grün und keiner kommt auf die Idee zu fragen, warum man irgendwelche Scheiß-Häuser in den Jungle bauen sollte. Irgendwie hat man das Gefühl, dass das alles die Hobbyprojekte überbezahlter Architekten sind, die kein einziges Problem lösen außer dem der eigenen Steuererklärung, denn natürlich kann man diese Ausgaben ganz prima gegen den Gewinn der Agentur rechnen.Die tollen Objekte kommen fast immer aus überraschenden Ecken, Holzschnitzer aus Buthan teilen sich eine riesige traditionelle Schnitzarbeit mit einem Roboter (der natürlich "AI" genannt wird) und man steigt um das 10x10 Meter große Ding und rätselt, was schnitzte Mensch, was Maschine.Oder das Objekt "Calculating Empires", eine Timeline interdisziplinärer Entwicklungen der letzten 500 Jahre in einem parallelen Zeitstrahl, begehbar auf dreißig Metern.Diese Grafik gibt es hochauflösend und zum reinzoomen auf einer Website und die ist jetzt gebookmarked, denn wie Entdeckungen und technische Entwicklungen zusammenhängen, habe ich selten begreifbarer gesehen, es schärft aus der Perspektive der Vergangenheit den Blick für die Gegenwart und so fällt einem dann beim abschließenden Besuch des Hong-Konger Pavillion auf, dass dort Bücher über Architektur ausliegen. Richtige Bücher. Über die Architektur Pekings.Willkommen in 2025. This is a public episode.

Send us a textWhat does holy love really look like when it gets personal? In this message, we explore Leviticus 19:15-18, a passage that calls us to live with fairness, truth, and courage. This sermon reminds us that God's love doesn't play favorites, turn a blind eye, or hold grudges. It confronts sin and clings to righteousness.Through a powerful combination of biblical insight and real-life application, we unpack what it means to love our neighbor as ourselves--not with shallow niceness, but with deep, resilient, and justice-shaped love.Whether you're navigating strained relationships, wrestling with how to speak the truth in love, or wondering what holiness looks like in a fractured world--this episode is for you.Other Episodes in this series:Leftover & Left BehindHonesty & HospitalityLove & LoyaltySin & Slavery (coming August 11)Foreign & Friend (coming August 18)Linkoln shares his story on why he started coming to Ravenna Church of the Nazarene and shares why you should consider doing the same.Ravenna Church of the Nazarene530 Main Street, Ravenna, KY 40472Support the showThe Dirt Path Sermon Podcast is a place for real sermons that speak to real life.

A meditation preached by Fr. Eric Nicolai on July 25, 2025, the feast of St. James, at Lyncroft Centre in Toronto. Jesus called James and his brother John as they mended their nets on the Sea of Galilee. Their mother approached Jesus, asking that her sons be seated on either side of him in his kingdom. Jesus replied, “You do not know what you are asking.” Jesus turned to the brothers: “Can you drink the cup that I am going to drink?” “We can,” they declared. James was, in fact, the first apostle to share in the cup of martyrdom, under Herod Agrippa around the year 44. Saint Josemaria loved that readiness to follow Jesus, to go all the way. He underlined their response, "Possumus". We can frame this in terms of our readiness and openness to be well formed: to have the piety of children and the doctrine of theologians.Music: Michael Lee of Toronto.Thumbnail: James the Apostle, detail of the mosaic in the Basilica of San Vitale, Ravenna, 6th century.

He was a disciple of St Peter, born in Antioch. St Peter took him to Rome (he was bishop of Antioch before being bishop of Rome, so Antioch is as much the 'see of Peter' as is Rome) and made him Bishop of Ravenna. In Ravenna, he healed the wife of the military governor of a grave illness, after which the governor and his household confessed Christ and were baptized. Apollinarius was able to form a house church in the governor's home, from which he labored for the Gospel for twelve years. Eventually, he was condemned to exile in Illyria for his faith, and began a life of missionary travel in the Balkans, travelling as far as the Danube. After twelve years of this work, he was driven back to Italy by the hostility of some of the pagans. He was received with joy by the people of Ravenna, which aroused the envy of the pagan elders, who denounced him to the Emperor Vespasian. When the elders asked permission to kill Apollinarius, the Emperor only gave them permission to drive him from the city, wisely saying 'It is not seemly to take revenge on behalf of the gods, for they can themselves be revenged on their enemies if they are angered.' But, in defiance of the Imperial decree, the pagan leaders attacked and killed Apollinarius with knives. His holy relics are preserved in Ravenna, in a church dedicated to him.
24 And there was also a strife amongst them, which of them should seem to be the greater.Facta est autem et contentio inter eos, quis eorum videretur esse major. 25 And he said to them: The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and they that have power over them, are called beneficent.Dixit autem eis : Reges gentium dominantur eorum : et qui potestatem habent super eos, benefici vocantur. 26 But you not so: but he that is the greater among you, let him become as the younger; and he that is the leader, as he that serveth.Vos autem non sic : sed qui major est in vobis, fiat sicut minor : et qui praecessor est, sicut ministrator. 27 For which is greater, he that sitteth at table, or he that serveth? Is it not he that sitteth at table? But I am in the midst of you, as he that serveth:Nam quis major est, qui recumbit, an qui ministrat? nonne qui recumbit? Ego autem in medio vestrum sum, sicut qui ministrat : 28 And you are they who have continued with me in my temptations:vos autem estis, qui permansistis mecum in tentationibus meis. 29 And I dispose to you, as my Father hath disposed to me, a kingdom;Et ego dispono vobis sicut disposuit mihi Pater meus regnum, 30 That you may eat and drink at my table, in my kingdom: and may sit upon thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.ut edatis et bibatis super mensam meam in regno meo, et sedeatis super thronos judicantes duodecim tribus Israel.St Apollinarus, a disciple of St Peter, came with the latter from Antioch to Rome. He was consecrated bishop of Ravenna and preached the Gospel of Christ amidst many persecutions, including prison and exile. The Apostle of Ravenna was beaten to death A.D. 79.

Send us a textWhat does it mean to be live honestly? To protect the vulnerable? To treat others with dignity, even when it costs us something? This message challenges us to examine the gap between claimed love and lived-out truth--and invites us to become people who speak truth and extend hospitality with courage and care.Whether you've struggled with being honest in hard moments, or you've been tempted to ignore the needs of others because of busyness or burnout, this sermon will gently confront and compassionately call you forward.We continue our Love Thy Neighbor series by looking at Leviticus 19:11-14 and rediscover how holiness is more than personal piety--it's about relational integrity and compassion in action.Other Episodes in this series:Leftover & Left BehindHonesty & HospitalityLove & Loyalty (coming July 28)Sin & Slavery (coming August 11)Foreign & Friend (coming August 18)Linkoln shares his story on why he started coming to Ravenna Church of the Nazarene and shares why you should consider doing the same.Ravenna Church of the Nazarene530 Main Street, Ravenna, KY 40472Ravenna Church of the Nazarene530 Main Street, Ravenna, KY 40472Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Giorgio Ghiberti"John Florio. La vita d'un italiano nell'Inghilterra di Shakespeare"Frances A. YatesCasa dei Libri Edizioniwww.casadeilibri.comJohn Florio è noto ancora oggi per la sua grande traduzione in inglese degli Essays di Montaigne. Per i suoi contemporanei, era una delle figure più prominenti dei circoli letterari e sociali dell'epoca. Attraverso la ricostruzione della vita e del carattere di Florio, il testo di Frances Yates del 1934 fa luce sulla controversa questione delle sue relazioni con Shakespeare.Frances A. Yates, Scelse di studiare “storiografia interdisciplinare” e per più di quarant'anni fu legata al Warburg Institute della University of London, rivestendo anche incarichi di docenza. Gran parte del suo lavoro si è concentrato su neoplatonismo, filosofia e occultismo nel Rinascimento. Le sue opere principali, come Giordano Bruno e la tradizione ermetica o l'Arte della memoria, si concentrano sul ruolo centrale svolto dalla magia, dalla tradizione ermetica e dalla cabala nella scienza e nella filosofia nel Rinascimento. Oltre che di Giordano Bruno e Raimondo Lullo, si è occupata anche di Giovanni Florio, William Shakespeare e di storia della tradizione mnemotecnica da Simonide a Gottfried Leibniz. Insignita nel 1972 con il rango di Officer dell'Ordine dell'Impero Britannico, nel 1977 fu elevata al rango di Dama (Dame).Nel 2008 è uscita Frances Yates and the Hermetic Tradition, la prima biografia di Frances Yates, a cura di Marjorie G. Jones, tradotta in italiano da Andrea Damascelli per Casadei Libri nel 2014 con il titolo Frances Yates e la tradizione ermetica.Il merito di questo lavoro di riscoperta italiana va anche a Giorgio Ghiberti, curatore e traduttore d'eccezione, già noto per le sue splendide versioni di poeti come Baudelaire, Pessoa, Dickinson e Eliot. Ghiberti, nato a Ravenna nel 1952, porta nella sua traduzione tutta la sensibilità di chi conosce profondamente il valore della parola poetica e narrativa.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

Have you ever walked into a bookstore, lonely and single, and hoped you’d meet the love of your life? We know there are at least a few of you out there. That's part of the setup for Moira Macdonald’s debut novel “Storybook Ending.” It’s a story about loneliness, friendship, reading – and of course, the singular pleasure of spending time between the shelves of a cozy book shop in Seattle.

Send us a textThe storm had passed, but Noah didn't rush. He waited—watching, listening, trusting. When the dove didn't return, he knew: the season had changed, and it was time to move forward.In this episode, Pastor Jason explores what it means to wait on God's timing and how spiritual maturity is shown in our willingness to surrender control. Drawing from Noah's quiet obedience, this sermon challenges us to release our grip, trust the Spirit's leading, and be ready when God signals it's time to step into something new.If you're feeling stuck between storm and breakthrough, this message is for you.Linkoln shares his story on why he started coming to Ravenna Church of the Nazarene and shares why you should consider doing the same.Ravenna Church of the Nazarene530 Main Street, Ravenna, KY 40472Support the showThe Dirt Path Sermon Podcast is a place for real sermons that speak to real life.

Send us a text We say God can have it all… but what about the parts we keep hidden? In this episode, Pastor Jason explores the story of King Azariah (also known as Uzziah) and the “surrender gap” that blocked the blessing of God—not just in his life, but in his community.With honesty, humor, and hope, this message challenges us to examine the “keep out” signs in our hearts. Whether it's pride, fear, or comfort, anything we withhold from God can hinder His work in us and through us.But surrender isn't about shame—it's about healing. And when we let go, God begins to bless others through the very places we once held back.
In this episode, my son Jack joins me to examine The Consolation of Philosophy by Boethius, a Roman scholar living just after the fall of the Roman Empire in 476 CE. A renaissance man before the Renaissance, Boethius translated Greek philosophers like Aristotle and Plato, served as a trusted aide to the Gothic king Theodoric in Ravenna, and was a mathematician, astronomer, and family man whose sons became consuls in their early 20s. Despite his Christian faith, tensions with the Arian Theodoric led to his imprisonment and brutal execution at 44. This tragedy tarnished Theodoric's rule, but Boethius' legacy shaped medieval thought, preserving Greek philosophy and influencing giants like Chaucer, Dante, Aquinas, and Shakespeare.Written in a cell awaiting death, The Consolation of Philosophy is a profound dialogue between Boethius and Lady Philosophy. Divided into five books, it blends prose (prosa) and poetry (metrea), offering wisdom through a narrative arc. Book One introduces Boethius' despair; Book Two explores Fortune's fickleness; Book Three seeks the highest Good; Book Four tackles the problem of evil; and Book Five reconciles divine foreknowledge with free will. The poems, rich with mythological and Biblical imagery, provide emotional breaks and reinforce the prose's insights. As C.S. Lewis noted, this work was beloved by educated Europeans for centuries.Boethius weaves Neoplatonism, Stoicism, and Aristotelian ideas into a Christian framework. Lady Philosophy echoes Plato's belief in innate knowledge, urging Boethius to “dream of your origin,” and champions philosopher-kings. Stoic themes emerge as she declares the mind free despite bodily exile, while Aristotle's Unmoved Mover aligns with Boethius' God. The concept of exile as a spiritual crisis resonates, connecting Boethius to figures like Odysseus and Dante.Jack and I discuss whether this is a satire, and how much both of us love Boethius as a character in his own novel.The Ignatius Press edition, translated by Scott Goins and Barbara Wyman, shines with clear prose, excellent footnotes, and quality paper—perfect for annotating. This book demands a reread and sparks a reading list including Chaucer, Milton, and C.S. Lewis' The Discarded Image. Join us! I think this book is for everyone, but even if you think, "Maybe not for me," you'll know what it's about and why it matters.This is a year-long challenge!

Full Text of ReadingsThursday of the Eleventh Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 368The Saint of the day is Saint RomualdSaint Romuald's Story In the midst of a wasted youth, Romuald watched his father kill a relative in a duel over property. In horror he fled to a monastery near Ravenna. After three years, some of the monks found him to be uncomfortably holy and eased him out. Romuald spent the next 30 years going about Italy, founding monasteries and hermitages. He longed to give his life to Christ in martyrdom, and got the pope's permission to preach the gospel in Hungary. But he was struck with illness as soon as he arrived, and the illness recurred as often as he tried to proceed. During another period of his life, Romuald suffered great spiritual dryness. One day as he was praying Psalm 31 (“I will give you understanding and I will instruct you”), he was given an extraordinary light and spirit which never left him. At the next monastery where he stayed, Romuald was accused of a scandalous crime by a young nobleman he had rebuked for a dissolute life. Amazingly, his fellow monks believed the accusation. He was given a severe penance, forbidden from offering Mass, and excommunicated—an unjust sentence that he endured in silence for six months. The most famous of the monasteries Romuald founded was that of the Camaldoli in Tuscany. Here began the Order of the Camaldolese Benedictines, uniting the monastic and eremitical lives. In later life Romuald's own father became a monk, wavered, and was kept faithful by the encouragement of his son. Reflection Christ is a gentle leader, but he calls us to total holiness. Now and then, men and women are raised up to challenge us by the absoluteness of their dedication, the vigor of their spirit, the depth of their conversion. The fact that we cannot duplicate their lives does not change the call to us to be totally open to God in our own particular circumstances. Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media
Send us a text"What are human beings that You think about them?"That's the question King David asks in Psalm 8—and it's a question many of us still wrestle with today. In a world that measures our worth by performance and perfection, Scripture tells a different story.In this episode of The Dirt Path Sermon Podcast, we explore the stunning truth that you were made not just to admire God's glory, but to reflect it. You were created with purpose, crowned with dignity, and entrusted with a calling—not because of what you've done, but because of who God is.Through the beauty of Psalm 8, we'll look at what it means to bear God's image, why your identity doesn't depend on your past, and how Jesus came to restore what sin tried to steal.You were made for glory. But the question is—what are you reflecting?Linkoln shares his story on why he started coming to Ravenna Church of the Nazarene and shares why you should consider doing the same.Ravenna Church of the Nazarene530 Main Street, Ravenna, KY 40472Support the showThe Dirt Path Sermon Podcast is a place for real sermons that speak to real life.

In this bold and timely sermon, Pastor Nicole asks a powerful question: Are we still waiting for our Pentecost?We say we do not want to offend--but have we really surrendered to the Spirit who compels us to speak?

Aegidius and Syagrius, father and son warriors, born of an ancient Roman-Gaul senatorial lineage, would keep the dream of Rome alive in Gaul long after the Western Empire fell. In the baddest of bad neighborhoods, for three decades they reminded the world what Rome stood for, with no help from an emperor in Ravenna or Constantinople. It wasn't about fame for these two, it was about principle! Prepare to be blown away....

Send us a textWhat does it mean when Jesus says, "I am coming soon"? For many, those words spark fear, uncertainty, or confusion. But in Revelation 22, they are not a threat--they are a promise. In this Ascension Sunday message, Pastor Jason explores how "soon" is less about clocks and more about certainty and readiness.With grace-fueled urgency and heartfelt honesty, we are invited to examine the condition of our hearts--not through fear, but through the cleansing work of Christ. The question is not when Jesus is coming...the question is: are we ready?Whether you are new to faith or feeling distant from it, this message offers hope, clarity, and a call to live like the King is returning--because He is.Linkoln shares his story on why he started coming to Ravenna Church of the Nazarene and shares why you should consider doing the same.Ravenna Church of the Nazarene530 Main Street, Ravenna, KY 40472The Dirt Path Sermon Podcast is a place for real sermons that speak to real life.

After clawing his way back to the Byzantine throne, Justinian II ruled like a man possessed—merciless, paranoid, and hell-bent on vengeance. But his enemies weren't done with him yet. In the western city of Ravenna, a revolt brews that will bring down the emperor once and for all. This is the story of how the man who came back from the dead was finally taken out—by priests, rebels, and his own shattered empire. No one cheats death twice.

Drawing from Song of Songs 2:14–15, Pastor Jason explores the metaphor of “little foxes” that sneak in and threaten to ruin the vineyards of our faith, relationships, and calling.This message was more than just a sermon—it was a physical, prayerful experience involving symbolic eggs, a real animal trap, and a powerful moment of surrender.

Full Text of ReadingsFifth Sunday of Easter Lectionary: 54The Saint of the day is Saint John ISaint John I's Story Pope John I inherited the Arian heresy, which denied the divinity of Christ. Italy had been ruled for 30 years by an emperor who espoused the heresy, though he treated the empire's Catholics with toleration. His policy changed at about the time the young John was elected pope. When the eastern emperor began imposing severe measures on the Arians of his area, the western emperor forced John to head a delegation to the East to soften the measures against the heretics. Little is known of the manner or outcome of the negotiations—designed to secure continued toleration of Catholics in the West. On his way home, John was imprisoned at Ravenna because the emperor had begun to suspect that John's friendship with his eastern rival might lead to a conspiracy against his throne. Shortly after his imprisonment, John died, apparently from the treatment he received in prison. John's body was transported to Rome and he was buried in the Basilica of St. Peter. Reflection We cannot choose the issues for which we have to suffer and perhaps die. John I suffered because of a power-conscious emperor. Jesus suffered because of the suspicions of those who were threatened by his freedom, openness, and powerlessness. “If you find that the world hates you, know it has hated me before you” (John 15:18).
