Fr. Anthony Amato is the Pastor of St. Peter's Parish in Clifton Springs, New York. He was ordained as a priest in June of 2017 by Bishop Salvatore Matano of the Diocese of Rochester, New York. In Today's Show: Regarding final grace of conversion for sinners in mortal sin, is there a conflict between the Divine Mercy message given to St. Faustina and the teaching of St. Alphonsus Ligouri, a Doctor of the Church? When the Israelites grew impatient with how long Moses was away at Mt. Sinai, and prevailed upon Aaron to make them a new object of worship, they went with a golden calf.  I was wondering why a calf?  What symbolic importance would that particular animal have for the Israelites? Are altar boys leaving because girls are joining, or are girls joining because altar boys are leaving? Under the Mosaic Covenant, animal sacrifices were prescribed to enable sinners to be made right with God, although they were inadequate in an eternal sense and needed to be frequently repeated.  It was only with the substitutionary atonement of Jesus on the Cross and the Sacrament of Reconciliation that we, under the New Covenant, have been given a way to be eternally forgiven of our sins. Bot, for sinners like Adam and Eve, under what dispensation are they able to obtain forgiveness of sin and be delivered from hell? What stance does the church take on prepping? Was the blessed virgin Mary conceived divinely or humanly? Why was it so hard for many in scripture to acknowledge the miraculous nature of Jesus despite witnessing his miracles firsthand? What does one do when your Catholic family members start getting married without a church service or mass? What is the origin, symbolism, and purpose of a tonsure hairstyle? What stance would Thomas Aquinas take on avoiding a military draft in an immoral war? I have been discerning monastic life and have been having dreams. Is this a sign?

She previously interned with Megan under Stephen's leadership and completed a second-year ministry internship as well. With a dual degree in early childhood education and art, Hannah brings creativity and depth to everything she does.Hannah shares openly about the pain of her parents' divorce and the difficult years that followed — including a pivotal moment when her dad didn't show up for their final meeting before she and her mom moved from Minot to Valley City. But this isn't just a story of brokenness. It's a powerful testimony of how God began to soften her heart, reshape her understanding of forgiveness, and lead her toward healing. Even when nothing else changed, forgiveness opened the door to freedom — and eventually, God began restoring her relationship with her dad.It's a vulnerable, hope-filled conversation about faith, healing, and the grace of God.Check out Hannah's handmade creations at Fearfully and Wonderfully MadeFollow her creative work @fearfullyandwonderfullymadebyhConnect with Hannah personally @han.aberle Follow Going Somewhere Podcast on InstagramAsk a Question or Suggest a Guest | goingsomewherepod.comSubscribe to us on YoutubePodcast Music: Electric Ten by Broke in SummerGoing Somewhere is a resource of Northview ChurchStephen's Instagram & Website

On Sunday, our sermon series on Genesis continues with the reconciliation of Jacob and Esau. At this point, there is no reason to think these two brothers would be happy to see one another- Jacob is fearful, and the last time Esau saw Jacob, he wanted to kill him. However, their reunion is full of care for one another. We hope this sermon blesses you in the Lord. Originally August 3rd, 2025. Dolan Davis. Covenant Church. Tuscaloosa, AL.

Örülök, hogy itt vagy.”En: "Hi, Eszter. I'm glad you're here."Hu: A lány biccentett.En: The girl nodded.Hu: Nem volt könnyű dolog neki idejönni.En: It wasn't easy for her to come here.Hu: Egyszerű ruhát viselt: nyári ruháját, amit anyja vett neki utoljára, amikor még kislány volt.En: She wore something simple: the summer dress her mother had last bought her when she was a little girl.Hu: Most érezte, hogy az apjában is van valamiféle változás, de meg akarta érteni, mi történt.En: Now she felt that there was some change in her father too, but she wanted to understand what had happened.Hu: Zoltán óvatosan közbelépett: „Nagyon jó, hogy mindketten itt vagytok. Egy barátságos beszélgetés sok mindent megoldhat.”En: Zoltán carefully intervened: "It's great that both of you are here. A friendly conversation can solve many things."Hu: Ahogy telt-múlt a délután, a kertben egyre több szót váltottak.En: As the afternoon went by, they exchanged more and more words in the garden.Hu: János próbálta elmagyarázni a rövid idő alatt, mennyire fontos neki Eszter, és mennyire sajnálja, amit az évek alatt nem tudott kimutatni.En: János tried to explain how important Eszter was to him in the short time he had and how sorry he was for not being able to show it over the years.Hu: Eszter sérülések mélyek voltak, de kezdték egyre jobban megérteni egymást.En: Eszter's wounds were deep, but they began to understand each other better.Hu: A múlt, bár kemény volt, már nem tette teljesen lehetetlenné a jövőt.En: The past, though harsh, no longer made a future entirely impossible.Hu: János végül elővette az albumot.En: Finally, János took out the album.Hu: „Ez a nagyapa fényképalbuma,” mondta halkan, „mindig azt hittem, te értékelni fogod.”En: "This is Grandfather's photo album," he said softly, "I always thought you would appreciate it."Hu: Valami régen elfeledett melegség töltötte be a szívét, amint kinyújtotta a kezét.En: A long-forgotten warmth filled his heart as he reached out his hand.Hu: A forró nyári napsütés alatt Eszter végre megkönnyebbülten vett egy mély levegőt.En: Under the hot summer sunshine, Eszter finally took a deep breath of relief.Hu: A régi képek láttán valami megmozdult benne.En: Seeing the old pictures stirred something within her.Hu: Bár még nem volt minden rendben, most már készen állt arra, hogy adjon egy esélyt az apjával való kapcsolatának.En: Although not everything was right yet, she was now ready to give her relationship with her father a chance.Hu: „Talán kezdhetnénk egy új fejezetet” – mondta csendesen Eszter, és az emlékek közös mélyedésébe merült János oldódó tekintete alatt.En: "Perhaps we could start a new chapter," Eszter said quietly, and she delved into shared memories under János' softening gaze.Hu: Az a nap, nappal lett a békülés napja, egy újrakezdés a múlt hibái között.En: That day became a day of reconciliation, a new beginning amidst past mistakes.

From Pastor David Peck | From the sermon series Manifold Wisdom on Display.

Nestled in the quiet hills of Yokohama lies a place few Australians know about, yet its story binds us to an important chapter of our past.Yokohama War Cemetery is the final resting place of more than 1,500 Commonwealth service personnel who lost their lives during the Second World War.   But this cemetery tells more than a story of loss. It speaks to reconciliation not only between former enemies, but between the very nations that shaped its creation. The story of the cemetery is shared in the Shrine's special exhibit Eucalypts of Hodogaya. Join two of the exhibition curators, Professor Anoma Pieris and Athanasios Tsakonas, as we explore how amid the destruction and hostilities, the mission to honour the dead prevailed.   

In this challenging and grace-filled message, Pastor Kent reflects on Paul's declaration that in Christ, we are made new—and entrusted with a holy calling: the ministry of reconciliation (2 Corinthians 5:17–19). But what does that mean in a world still deeply shaped by racism, division, and injustice? With humility and courage, this sermon names the hard truths of racial inequity, explores the sacred call to repentance, and offers concrete ways for communities of faith to engage in repair and healing. Reconciliation, we're reminded, is not about erasing the past—but about building honest, justice-rooted relationships that reflect God's love. As part of the “Be the Church” series, this message invites listeners to reject complacency and embrace the ongoing work of gospel transformation. Because new creation isn't magic—it's discipleship.

We take a journey here considering God's love for us. It's a peaceful one, considering the wisdom Jesus gives us, holiness, sanctification and His enduring redemption that just knows no quit in our lives...

Don't Waste the Great Gift of Influence (Formerly titled: Don't Waste Your Impact) It's easy to underestimate just how much weight your words, actions, and attitudes carry—especially in your marriage. But the truth is, your spouse is the person you impact most in this life. And that impact can either build up or break down. It can draw them closer to Jesus—or push them further away. Whether you're aware of it or not, you are influencing every day. The real question is: how are you using that influence? In today's episode, we're exploring what Scripture and research say about the power of marriage, how your smallest habits shape your legacy, and why taking your influence seriously could be one of the most important decisions you make—not just for your spouse, but for eternity. Why Your Marriage Holds the Greatest Influence in Your Life Research from the Holmes-Rahe Stress Scale confirms it: five of the top ten most stressful life events are marriage-related. Death of a spouse. Divorce. Separation. Reconciliation. Even getting married. All of these events shape us more than we realize—impacting not only our emotions but our physical health. That's why your role in your marriage is far from trivial. It's your greatest mission field. Beyond your spouse, your children are next in line for your influence. Their spiritual formation, character, and even understanding of Jesus may start with how they see you live. Influence Starts with the Smallest Seeds We often think influence must be grand—but it's the consistent, daily seeds that grow lasting fruit. Whether it's trying to put stubborn littles to bed while keeping a joyful attitude (“count it all joy when you face trials”), or sharing a genuine compliment with your spouse that communicates admiration or safety—these small acts build a legacy. The greatest impact comes through simple faithfulness: planting seeds of respect, encouragement, and love, again and again. Want to Be Effective? Influence with Soft Eyes and a Gentle Tone Influence is not control. It's not demanding. And it's certainly not harsh. If your heart is full of conviction, but your tone is sharp, your spouse may never hear your heart. Instead, they'll hear rejection, judgment, and intensity. That shuts hearts down. Instead, remember this: Soft Eyes Gentle Tone Slow Pace No, it's not an acronym yet—but it's a powerful practice. If it matters to you, slow down. Look at them with kindness. Speak with a spirit of gentleness. Because your delivery may determine whether your words are received—or rejected. Faith Isn't Meant to Stay Silent—So Stop Hiding It Somewhere along the way, many of us have absorbed the idea that faith is a purely private matter. But Scripture doesn't support that. Paul talks openly about his prayers, his tears, his awe at God's love. You don't need to boast—but you do need to be real. Share how you follow Jesus. Let your spouse and your kids see that He's not just a Sunday idea. He's your daily King. Character First. Ministry Second. The Bible is clear: if you can't manage your own household, how can you lead in the church? (1 Tim. 3, Titus 1) Your first ministry is your spouse. Your first testimony is how you treat them when no one is watching. Your first assignment is to steward the influence God has entrusted to you—in your tone, your time, and your tenderness. Don't Waste the Great Gift of Influence If you've ever caused your spouse to spend days mulling over a harsh word, you've influenced—for harm. That matters. God has given you the ability to heal and build up—or wound and tear down. We won't be perfect. But we must take our influence seriously. Let your words be seasoned with grace. Let your habits point to Jesus. Let your home be a place where His love is felt—because of you. Because when we stand before God, how we used our influence in marriage will matter. And your spouse's eternity may just be a little brighter because of your faithfulness. Final Thoughts Friend, your influence is real. And it's powerful. You don't have to be perfect to make a lasting impact—you just need to be faithful with the moments in front of you. One seed of kindness. One soft-eyed response. One patient, Spirit-led pause. These small choices shape hearts, build trust, and reflect the love of Jesus. So take heart. God has entrusted you with influence, not by accident, but for a purpose. And as you lean into Him and love your spouse with intention, you are planting seeds that can grow into something beautiful—something eternal.   Love, The Delight Your Marriage Team PS - Are you ready to take the next step in influencing your marriage for the better?

PPPS - Here is quote from a recent graduate: "There was a fair amount of discouragement, which carried over in my professional life and ministry involvements. I would not have considered leaving my wife, but hopelessness was making me accept the fact that we would continue to become more and more estranged until one or both of us died...[Now,] I KNOW that as intimacy grows between a husband and his wife, both are energized to do the work of the Kingdom, both shine brighter wherever they are. I have begun to feel it and see it happen!...Our communication is so much better: we have not had an argument since the beginning of the program. I am sharing more of myself now – my wife will not die without knowing her husband of all these years!"

How to ask for forgiveness when you sin against someone. God has forgiven a born-again Christian for all their transgressions against him, which are too numerous to count. Jesus says we are to forgive as God has forgiven us. Travis shares a biblical story that shows us that asking for forgiveness requires a transaction between two people, the offender and the offended.… The post Reconciliation: Forgiveness, Part 1| Reconciling Broken Relationships appeared first on Pillar of Truth Radio.

I'm not sure if someone took it."Zh: 简点点头，答应帮忙。他决定不动声色地询问其他客人，希望能找到些线索。En: Jian nodded and agreed to help. He decided to discreetly ask other guests, hoping to find some clues.Zh: 与此同时，梅芳的表弟李强也在茶馆忙碌。En: Meanwhile, Mei Fang's cousin, Li Qiang, was also busy in the tea house.Zh: 李强常常过来帮忙，他昔日因财务困境而烦恼，但从未向家人透露。En: Li Qiang often came to help out, and he had previously been troubled by financial difficulties, though he never revealed this to his family.Zh: 梅芳心里隐隐怀疑，但不愿贸然质疑表弟。En: Mei Fang had a vague suspicion but was reluctant to rashly question her cousin.Zh: 随着调查的深入，简和梅芳逐渐发现一些细微的线索指向李强。En: As the investigation progressed, Jian and Mei Fang gradually discovered some subtle clues pointing to Li Qiang.Zh: 某个黄昏，梅芳坚定地走向李强，“李强，我需要知道真相，茶壶是不是你拿的？”En: One evening, Mei Fang resolutely approached Li Qiang, "Did you take the teapot, Li Qiang? I need to know the truth."Zh: 李强低下头，脸上显露出内疚。他坦白承认了：“我实在是走投无路了，想暂时用它来还债，但我一定会还回来。”En: Li Qiang lowered his head, guilt showing on his face.

Confession is the first step toward reconciliation. As Christians, we must reconcile with God and with each other. The bible teaches, in many places, that there is to be unity with one another. Christians should always desire unity and reconciliation in obedience to God, but sin divides and separates. Sin separates us from God and sin separates us from each other.

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.

In today's nugget day, Fr. Mike reviews the major themes of the sacrament of Reconciliation. Fr. Mike emphasizes the six spiritual effects of this sacrament and reminds us of the great gift of Confession because, as the Catechism states, “to the eyes of faith, no evil is graver than sin.” We conclude today's article with humble gratitude for God's unfathomable mercy. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 1485-1498. 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.

If God is the one who forgives our sins, why do we need priests as confessors? The Catechism teaches us today about the role of the priest as the minister of the Sacrament of Reconciliation. We learn that priests ought to be "servants" of God's mercy rather than "masters" of God's mercy. Fr. Mike invites us to pray for all priests' hearts, encouraging gentle, loving, and truthful confessors. Lastly, Fr. Mike clarifies the purpose of excommunication and the sacramental seal.

When we confess our sins, we're not telling God something he doesn't know; we're giving God access to something he doesn't have: permission to heal our wounds. Today we learn why the act of confessing our sins is an essential part of the sacrament of Reconciliation. Fr. Mike also clarifies the difference between absolution, penance, and satisfaction.
