Zach Braff (Scrubs, Garden State, Shrinking) joins me again this week for a conversation that swings from gut busting funny to genuinely tender. Zach opens up about living with depression, the highs and lows of a creative life, and the shingles nightmare he survived while directing Florence Pugh in A Good Person. We get into the real story behind bringing Scrubs back, rebuilding Sacred Heart from nothing, and what it takes to earn the trust of legends like Harrison Ford and Morgan Freeman. He also gets honest about being hard on himself, losing his dog Roscoe after 17 years, and the rescue that became his best antidepressant. Thank you to our sponsors:

What keeps us from being fully present?In this episode of Reiki from the Farm, I sit down with Reiki Master and Vortex Healing practitioner/teacher Lorraine Goldbloom to explore the energetic bodies, the chakra system, the Sacred Heart, and the conditioning that shapes our lives.Together, we discuss the web of creation that connects all life, why so many of our deepest patterns remain hidden from awareness, and how healing begins when we recognize what has been unconsciously driving our thoughts, emotions, and actions with fresh insights into presence, freedom, and remembering who you truly are.______Pam Allen-LeBlanc is a scientist, businesswoman, and Licensed Reiki Master Teacher (LRMT) with the International Center for Reiki Training.Get in Touch with Pam:pam@reikifromthefarm.comwww.reikifromthefarm.com______Get in Touch with Lorraine:Website: Lorraine GoldbloomUpcoming Events:Finding Presence – Holding Space — Lorraine GoldbloomCall to Freedom — Lorraine GoldbloomUpcoming classes:VortexHealing | Omega InstituteFoundational — Lorraine GoldbloomSocial Media:(1) FacebookInstagram______A special thanks goes out to Music from Pixabay for the intro music and to Nate Miller for the meditation music. Register for our newsletter! InstagramFacebookYoutube pam@reikifromthefarm.com

Full Text of Readings Sixteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 106 The Saint of the day is Saint Mary MacKillop Saint Mary MacKillop's Story If Saint Mary MacKillop were alive today, she would be a household name. It's not that she sought the limelight. On the contrary, she simply wanted to serve the poor wherever she found them in her native Australia. But along the way, she managed to arouse the ire of some rather powerful churchmen. One even excommunicated her for a time. Born in Melbourne in 1842, to parents who had emigrated from Scotland, Mary MacKillop grew up in a family that faced constant financial struggles. As a young woman she was drawn to religious life but could not find an existing order of Sisters that met her needs. In 1860, she met Father Julian Woods, who became her spiritual director. Together they founded a new community of women—the Sisters of St. Joseph of the Sacred Heart, also known as the Josephite Sisters. Its members were to staff schools especially for poor children, as well as orphanages, and do other works of charity. As the congregation grew, so did Mary MacKillop's problems. Her priest-friend proved unreliable in many ways and his responsibilities for direction of the Sisters were removed. Meanwhile, Mary had the support of some local bishops as she and her Sisters went about their work. But the bishop in South Australia, aging and relying on others for advice, briefly excommunicated Mary—charging her with disobedience—and dispensed 50 of her Sisters from their vows. In truth, the bishop's quarrel was about power and who had authority over whom. He ultimately rescinded his order of excommunication. Mary MacKillop insisted that her congregation should be governed by an elected mother general answerable to Rome, not to the local bishop. There also were disputes about whether or not the congregation could own property. In the end, Rome proved to be Mary's best source of support. After a long wait official approval of the congregation—and how it was to be governed—came from Pope Leo XIII. Despite her struggles with Church authorities, Mary MacKillop and her Sisters were able to offer social services that few, if any, government agencies in Australia could. They served Protestants and Catholics alike. They worked among the aborigines. They taught in schools and orphanages and served unmarried mothers. Money, actually the lack of it, was a constant worry. But the Sisters who begged from door to door, were bolstered by faith and by the conviction that their struggles were opportunities to grow closer to God. By the time Mary MacKillop was approaching the end of her life, the congregation was thriving. She died in 1909 at the age of 67. Pope John Paul II beatified her in 1995. In 2010, when Pope Benedict XVI canonized her, she became Australia's first saint. Her liturgical feast is celebrated on August 8. Reflection The story of many foundresses of religious communities and the tales of the early days of those communities can make for fascinating reading. Those women were dedicated and tough and fought for those they served. Let's thank the Lord for raising up such wonderful examples of faith.Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

Delivered by Javinsen, Claire and Celine from the Parish of Sacred Heart of Jesus Cathedral in the Archdiocese of Makassar, Indonesia. Wisdom 12: 13.16-19; Rs psalm 86: 5-6.9-10.15-16a; Romans 8: 26-27; Matthew 13: 24-30.THE ENEMY GIVES US OPPORTUNITY The theme for our meditation on this 16thSunday in Ordinary Time is: The Enemy Gives Us Opportunity. A high schoolstudent got praise and gifts from his parents for achieving best grades for allthe subjects in his study. This somehow surprised everyone in the familybecause they still remembered of his grades at the beginning of school thatwere far from expectation. He even got a number of red marks.                                              Why did he change so quickly with his studyachievements when he was in the second and third grade? Did he cheat duringexam in order to get satisfactory grades? These are the common questions thatwere always addressed to him. To those who asked these questions, the boyalways answered wisely, as he said: "Every friend of mine who gets bettergrades than me is my challenger in study, even I want to be better thanhim." This boy continued to follow this way until he finished high school. That teenager's experience is an example of a healthyand good competition. There is also unhealthy and bad competition, which goesthrough bad ways to pursue its goals. In every competition, each competingparty considers its counterpart as an enemy. There are enemies who becomefriends of competition and struggle, so we can be helped to achieve progressand success. Enemies of this quality are considered good enemies, because theygive us the opportunity to become better. But there are enemies who become deadly opponents, whoare moved by hatred, anger and jealousy. We are not helped to become better,instead we are led to a disaster and loss. We naturally and in following thecommon sense, want to have good enemies. God himself is in the category of ourgood enemies. We are sinners. Every time we realize ourselves as sinners, wemust be able to see God as our good enemy, who is patient with us and providesall the opportunities so that we can repent and ultimately return to Him. The parable of coexistence between the seed sower andhis enemy the weed sower, then between the seed that grows together withits  enemy the weed, is so clearly toteach us about the role of the enemy that helps us in this life. Our own familymembers, our friends and people whom we don't know can be our good enemies.Even if we cannot avoid the presence of the dangerous or deadly enemies, thiswas actually already experienced by the Lord Jesus himself and the martyrs whohave gone before us. Such enemies give us opportunities to drink the cup ofsuffering like Jesus Christ did, who is our Teacher and Savior. In this case,we should be grateful and pray for our enemies. Let'spray. In the name of the Father ... O Lord, bless us so that we can live inYour truth and wisdom. Make us good neighbours to those around us. Our Fatherwho art in heaven ... In the name of the Father ...

Full Text of Readings Friday of the Fourteenth Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 387 The Saint of the day is Saint Veronica Giuliani Saint Veronica Giuliani's Story Veronica Giuliani's desire to be like Christ crucified was answered with the stigmata. Veronica was born in Mercatelli, Italy. It is said that when her mother Benedetta was dying she called her five daughters to her bedside and entrusted each of them to one of the five wounds of Jesus. Veronica was entrusted to the wound below Christ's heart. At the age of 17, Veronica Giuliani joined the Poor Clares directed by the Capuchins. Her father had wanted her to marry, but she convinced him to allow her to become a nun. In her first years in the monastery, she worked in the kitchen, infirmary, sacristy, and also served as portress. At the age of 34, she was made novice mistress, a position she held for 22 years. When she was 37, Veronica received the stigmata. Life was not the same after that. Church authorities in Rome wanted to test Veronica's authenticity and so conducted an investigation. She lost the office of novice mistress temporarily and was not allowed to attend Mass except on Sundays or holy days. Through all of this Veronica did not become bitter, and the investigation eventually restored her as novice mistress. Though she protested against it, at the age of 56 she was elected abbess, an office she held for 11 years until her death. Veronica was very devoted to the Eucharist and to the Sacred Heart. She offered her sufferings for the missions, died in 1727, and was canonized in 1839. Her Liturgical Feast Day is July 9. Reflection Why did God grant the stigmata to Francis of Assisi and to Veronica Giuliani? God alone knows the deepest reasons, but as Celano points out, the external sign of the cross is a confirmation of these saints' commitment to the cross in their lives. The stigmata that appeared in Veronica's flesh had taken root in her heart many years before. It was a fitting conclusion for her love of God and her charity toward her sisters.Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

Patrick explores divisions and unity within the Catholic Church, juxtaposing stories of tradition, obedience, and spiritual hunger with conversations about parish life, liturgical battles, and the lived experiences of the faithful confronting both scandal and grace. He weaves in personal testimonies about marriage, the Latin Mass, disappointment, and hope, tracing the tension between nostalgia and renewal. Sebastian - What are the grounds for a valid marriage versus the grounds to get an annulment, according to the Church? (00:30) Naomi - An SSPX church I went to focused on God, whereas some Catholic churches who focus on Pride instead of the Sacred Heart.

The Silent Watcher | Paranormal Podcast This week, we've got 2 listener submissions that genuinely got under our skin — first from Logan in Indiana, who as a 3 or 4 year old kept waking up to a silent black humanoid figure slowly rocking in the chair across his room, and when we say silent, we mean the kind of deliberate, suffocating silence that swallowed even the sound of a child screaming for his parents. Then we dove into Aaron's story from a small town in Virginia, where between the red-eyed figure lurking in the backyard, poltergeist activity luring the brothers out of the room to rearrange their playing cards, a Sacred Heart of Jesus painting hiding something very unexpected on the back, and a backwards-printing printer that was probably just haunted by HP customer service — the house was putting in serious work. But the creepiest encounter was the one Aaron's atheist father witnessed alone in that living room — a thick black fog that crawled across the floor, rose up, shaped itself into something human, and then made a sound we'd never heard described before right in his face.

Welcome to the Intense Youth Conference! Celebrated on the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, Fr. Jonathan Meyer opens Intense with a powerful invitation to encounter the living Christ. Sharing the story of his own conversion, Fr. Meyer reminds us that Jesus doesn't simply want us to know about Him—He wants a personal relationship with each one of us. At every Mass, Jesus gives us everything: His Body, His Blood, and His Sacred Heart. The question is simple: Will you give Him your heart in return? Whether you're attending Intense for the first time or have been here for years, this homily is an invitation to surrender your life to Jesus Christ and discover the love that changes everything. Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us. Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us. #IntenseYouthConference #FrJonathanMeyer #SacredHeart #Catholic #CatholicYouth #HolyMass #Eucharist #JesusChrist #EncounterJesus #CatholicHomily #CatholicFaith #Adoration #YouthConference #BeASaint

In 1976, the future Pope John Paul II spoke of a "final confrontation" between the Church and the anti-Church. Nearly fifty years later, John-Henry Westen argues that confrontation is here, and the signs are unmistakable.This is not speculation. It is the logic of Fatima. The requests for the consecration of Russia have not been fully fulfilled. The Five First Saturdays devotion remains largely ignored. The Third Secret, much of it still hidden, warned of corruption beginning at the top. The Garabandal apparitions spoke of a coming "warning," an illumination of conscience that would shake the world. And the ignored request to consecrate France to the Sacred Heart echoes the delayed consecration of Russia, a pattern of disobedience with consequences.HELP SUPPORT WORK LIKE THIS: https://give.lifesitenews.com/?utm_source=SOCIAL U.S. residents!

There's a new Niles in the world. Joshua Benedict Rex was born this week, and Dave wants you to know how stressful it all was. For the dad, that is. The pressure. The anxiety. All those things. None of which come to mind right now. Joke's on Dave, though, because Lady Pamela got to the birth center, the midwife offered to break her water, and Joshua arrived eleven minutes later. That's boy number three, bringing the count to three boys and four girls. Adam got the "we're going in" text at the hospital, stopped to pray, and barely beat the birth. The baby's a content little guy. A stereotypical Niles baby, the spitting image of baby Davy. Baptism's in a couple weeks with Uncle Father Sean, godparents are Sarah and Drew, and somewhere in there is a real theology question the guys throw to the priests who listen: can you name godparents after the fact for a baby baptized in a rush? Asking for a Mary.That birth set the whole table. Every time a baby comes into this circle of friends, the men pull their money, buy one nicer bottle of whiskey, sign it with the kid's name, and drink it together. They call it the "baby bottles" tradition. It blends friends into family. And it's exactly the kind of gift that makes you grateful, which is what this whole episode is about.They're recording on a Friday, the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart, the same day the bishops of America consecrated the entire country to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The pour is Glendalough, a pot still Irish whiskey the guys actually visited on pilgrimage. Triple distilled by law, smooth, no burn, and oddly cheap. The bottle shows St. Kevin in cruciform, a bird nesting in his open hand. The pious legend says he held that prayer posture so long the eggs hatched. Jim's scale (Irish edition): 3.96 out of 6.Then the meat: gratitude. Not the bumper-sticker kind. Gratitude is a virtue, a sub-virtue of justice, because it renders to another what's due, first to God who gave us everything. Aquinas lays out three degrees: recognition, expression, repayment. Most of us fail at the first one. We take the morning, the clothes, the breath for granted. St. Bernard calls ingratitude a scorching wind that dries up the streams of grace. God pours, the man doesn't return thanks, the flow stops.The hardest, most masculine turn in the episode is receiving. Men hate it. I don't need your charity. I can carry this cross. But refusing a gift graciously offered isn't humility. It's a wall. Adam's lived on the receiving end through Mary's time in the NICU, and he's learned the Christian paradox: the more graciously indebted you are, the richer your life, because the score is never even. That's not a debt to clear. That's a brotherhood.And the punchline ties it all together. Eucharist means thanksgiving. A man of gratitude is a Eucharistic man. You can't repay God for creating you, so He came down, became one of us, and offered Himself on your behalf. All you have to do is show up. Protect, provide, establish, and give thanks. Raise your glass.TOPICS COVEREDJoshua Benedict Rex Niles is born, baby boy number three, bringing the Niles count to three boys and four girlsDave's tongue-in-cheek case that the dad has it hardest in childbirthLady Pamela's eleven-minute birth at the birth center after the midwife broke her waterThe "kingship" theme running through the Niles boys' names: David, Joseph, and now Joshua Benedict RexWhy every Niles baby is a "cookie cutter" content baby, and Joshua looking just like baby DavyThe wonder that a child somehow looks like both mom and dad, "only God could make a baby look like both"Baptism plans with Uncle Father Sean and godparents Sarah and DrewThe open question for the priests who listen: can you name godparents after the fact for a baby baptized in a rush?The "baby bottles" tradition, the men pooling money for a signed bottle of whiskey to honor each new babyWhy this kind of tradition blends friends into familyRecording on the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart, and the U.S. bishops consecrating the country to the Sacred Heart of JesusWhiskey of the week: Glendalough pot still Irish whiskey, triple distilled and smoothThe legend of St. Kevin of Glendalough, the bird's nest in his hand and his love of all God's creaturesWhy Irish whiskey is the most approachable place to start, and surprisingly cheapJim's scale (Irish edition): 3.96 out of 6"Better than I deserve, I'm sure," Adam's go-to answer to "how are you?"The man at the pharmacy who'd just lost his wife, and never knowing what people are carryingGratitude as a virtue, and specifically a sub-virtue of justiceThe book of Job as the model of gratitude to the core: "the Lord has given and the Lord has taken away"Why a member of the Body of Christ is doing well no matter what else is going wrongAquinas's three degrees of gratitude: recognition, expression, repaymentWhy recognition is the weak spot for most people, the habit of taking things for grantedThe internal act of the will toward the benefactor as the heart of repaymentThe humility it takes to receive a gift, and why most men refuse charityHow receiving a gift graciously multiplies joy and binds a community togetherThe Christian paradox of being "graciously indebted," and why the score is never evenSt. Bernard of Clairvaux on ingratitude as a burning wind that dries up the streams of graceDeacon Garlick's prayer of thanks as a model for opening prayerMeditating on the magnitude of the Incarnation, the worm-and-the-man analogyWhy real men don't complain or "vent," and complaining as carrying the cross while griping about its weightDying for your family is easy; living for your family is hard, the little deathsAre you willing to get up, eat right, moderate your drinking, and put the phone down for your family?The Malcolm Gladwell mentorship lesson and the hidden cost of remote work, tribal knowledge not getting passed downWhy none of our best fatherhood or business "hacks" are original, and the duty to pass them onSt. John Chrysostom and St. Thérèse of Lisieux: gratitude as the superpower of the soulWhy you won't become holy without the habit of gratitude"People need to be reminded more than they need to be instructed"Keeping the right perspective so you don't live in a false reality the devil wants for youEucharist means thanksgiving, a man of gratitude is a Eucharistic manREFERENCED IN THIS EPISODEBooks & Writings:The Book of Job (the model of gratitude through suffering)The Summa Theologiae by St. Thomas Aquinas, Second Part of the Second Part (the three degrees of gratitude; ingratitude as sin)Malcolm Gladwell's work on mentorship and learning a craft (referenced by Adam)Saints & Church Fathers:St. Thomas Aquinas (the three degrees of gratitude; gratitude as a sub-virtue of justice)St. Bernard of Clairvaux (the "leaky vessel"; ingratitude as a burning wind that dries up the streams of grace)St. Kevin of Glendalough (the bird's-nest legend; love of God's creatures)St. John Chrysostom ("gratitude is the superpower of the soul")St. Thérèse of Lisieux (gratitude and the spiritual life)Simon of Cyrene (carrying the cross with Christ)People:Adam Minihan (host; founder of M6 Marketing; writes The Grounded Builder on Substack)Jim (in studio, keeper of the yummy scale)Lady Pamela Niles (delivered baby number seven)Joshua Benedict Rex Niles (newborn), David Jr., and Joseph Niles (the "kingship" names)Baby Mary Minihan (still in the NICU, the gifts and prayers received)Uncle Father Sean (baptizing Joshua); Sarah and Drew (godparents)Deacon Garlick (his prayer of thanks)Programs & Institutions:The Catholic Man Show pilgrimage (where the guys visited Glendalough)Glendalough Distillery, IrelandSPONSOR BLOCKSponsor: Select International Tours: selectinternationaltours.comWhen Adam and Dave decided to lead their first pilgrimage, one name kept coming up: Select International Tours.

As we approach the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States, preachers face a sacred responsibility– to proclaim the Gospel and heed the signs of the times, without getting lost in political ideologies. When Archbishop William E. Lori of Baltimore was asked to preach at a Mass consecrating the United States to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, he did just that.  He joins “Preach” host Ricardo da Silva, S.J., to discuss his preparations for this auspicious occasion and what it means to consecrate the nation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.  Timecodes: 0:00 What does it mean to consecrate the nation to the Sacred Heart? 4:43 Setting the scene: Preaching at the spring plenary of the U.S. Bishops 7:42 Jesus' high priestly discourse in the Gospel of John 9:05 Archbishop Lori's homily  20:23 Preparing a homily for the nation's 250th anniversary 23:40 How not to let your homily go off the rails 28:00 We must identify as Catholics first, before political affiliations 31:44 Preaching without jargon 34:10 What does it mean to preach for missionary discipleship today? --- Support this podcast by becoming a subscriber.

Following the 1989 parish closures, the infrastructure that had supported Black Catholic leadership in Detroit was largely dismantled. Surviving parishes tried to rebuild community, while parishes that were merged struggled to forge new identities. Meanwhile, Cardinal Edmund Szoka, the archbishop who oversaw the closures, left the city for Rome to take a top Vatican finance post.  In the third and final episode of “The City and the Cross,” host and Commonweal Centennial Fellow Aaron Robertson weighs the total cost of the 1989 parish closures—not just the loss of buildings, but the erosion of the systems that once nurtured Black Catholic vocations. He tells the story of Father John McKenzie, a Black priest who tried to serve Detroit'sBlack Catholic community with little institutional support, and whose own struggle raises a pointed question for the Church today: decades after 1989, how committed is the archdiocese to investing in Black Catholic communities?  Slowly, another question also starts to emerge: did the Black Catholic Movement ultimately succeed or did it fail? Robertson asks the very people who lived through it.  Today, as the Detroit archdiocese undergoes another round of restructuring, Black Catholics are bracing for the worst, but they refuse to walk away from the spiritual centers they built and still call home.  Featured Voices Marjorie Gabriel-Burrow, a musician who helped bring Black musical styles into Catholic Mass; Norah Duncan IV, a nationally acclaimed composer who watched the 1989 closures unfold from inside the archdiocesan chancery; Judith McNeeley, the daughter of Deacon Allen McNeeley, who was a member of St. Bernard parish until its 1989 closure; Dr. M. Shawn Copeland, a former nun from Detroit, now one of the world's leading Catholic theologians; Father Tom Lumpkin, a founding member of the Detroit Catholic Pastoral Alliance (DCPA); Father Norm Thomas, the longtime pastor of Sacred Heart and a cofounder of the DCPA who led the public resistance to the 1989 closures (archival); Father John McKenzie, a Black former Benedictine monk ordained a priest in Detroit in 2019, whose path eventually led him out of the Roman Catholic Church; Bishop Walter Hurley, Cardinal Edmund Szoka's chief of staff; Cathey DeSantis, a nun and member of Sacred Heart who became an organizer, and eventually director, of the DCPA; Steve Wasko, a Secular Franciscan and member of a Detroit-area anti-racism coalition that formed in the wake of George Floyd's murder; Dr. Shannen Dee Williams, a historian of Black Catholicism whose scholarship frames Detroit as the radical center of the national Black Catholic Movement; and Patricia Montemurri, a former Detroit Free Press reporter who chronicled the 1989 closures and broke the news of Szoka's Vatican appointment.

Pope Leo urges faith, charity, and defense of life during a busy weekend. Meanwhile, while modern culture marks June as “Pride” Month, the Catholic Church dedicates this month to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. And, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer resigns as leader of the governing Labour Party.

The devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus is a devotion to Our Lord's immeasurable love. Although the Sacred Heart devotion had been around since the Middle Ages, its prominence came at a crucial point in ecclesiastical history, namely during the spread of Jansenism in France during the 17th century. Contrary to the belief in God's mercy, Jansenism taught that we can never be pleasing to God. As fallen and fallible humans who are often consumed by our own desires, we find it difficult to return love to Our Lord despite His great love for us. However, His love, and the unfathomable patience that comes with that love, never abates.

A hardened heart isn't where the story starts. It's what's left after a child trusted, got hurt, and concluded: I'll never be in that position again. This week, Dr. Greg turns the antisocial series toward hope: looking at how that hardness forms, and how the Sacred Heart of Jesus, betrayed and pierced yet still open, breaks the pattern. Key Topics: Why a hardened heart is never cold by nature—it's protection learned the first time trusting backfired Why the urge to control everyone around you is really an old strategy for never being at anyone's mercy again How "making up for it" can quietly become a way to avoid facing the wound underneath Why Jesus didn't heal the hardened heart from a safe distance—He walked straight into betrayal and stayed open What it means that control isn't the enemy; where you aim it is what changes everything Why healing means loving even the parts of you that sin, not just the parts that behave Why you can't will yourself into trust overnight—and why that slowness reflects your dignity, not your failure Learn More: Earlier in this series on the Antisocial Defense Patterns: Antisocial Part 1 — Ep. #281: Control or Be Controlled: The Devastating Wounds Behind Antisocial Behavioral Patterns Antisocial Part 2 — Ep. #282: You're (Probably) Not a Serial Killer—But You May Share Some of Their Antisocial Traits The Litany for Mental Health Dr. Greg references: A Litany for Mental Health The original Sacred Heart revelations: The Autobiography of Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque Start of the Being Human series on the Histrionic Defense Patterns: Ep. #274: To Be Loved Is to Perform: Inside the Histrionic Compulsion for Attention and Validation Start of the Being Human series on the Borderline Defense Patterns: Ep. #269: BORDERLINE: The Push-Pull Between a Fear of Abandonment and Annihilation Start of the Being Human series on the Dependent Defense Patterns: Ep. #265: Jerry Maguire, Gollum, and the Fear of Not Existing Start of the Being Human series on the Narcissistic Defense Patterns: Ep. #261: Narcissism and the Terror of Being Ordinary Need help?
