Podcast appearances and mentions of saint anselm

In this episode of Re-Thinking Faith, Deacon Eric and Dr. Brett Salkeld dig back into the catalogue to revisit part two of their exploration of different theological perspectives on Jesus' suffering, redemption, and death on the cross. They discuss the historical views of Saint Anselm and Thomas Aquinas, examining the necessity of Jesus' death and the fittingness of the cross. The conversation includes personal anecdotes and the introduction of modern thinkers like René Girard and Bernard Lonergan, who provide contemporary frameworks for understanding salvation and scapegoating. The episode emphasizes the importance of continually seeking new metaphors and analogies to make the meaning of the cross accessible and relevant for each generation.

On today's episode Tom introduces Saint Anselm, one of the most influential Western theologians whose impact remains significant on Western Christianity in particular. The pugs discussion of this founding teacher of scholastic Christianity lead into some of the riches of Christian history and theology, as well as into such fascinating territories of faith and reason, the ontological proof of God in particular, and the nature of the atonement.

Read OnlineAgain I say to you, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for one who is rich to enter the Kingdom of God.” When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and said, “Who then can be saved?” Jesus looked at them and said, “For men this is impossible, but for God all things are possible.” Matthew 19:24–26According to one tradition, the “eye of the needle” referred to a gate in the wall of Jerusalem. During the day, there was a large gate that was open through which a camel could easily pass. But at night, the larger gate was closed and there was a smaller opening in the center of the gate that allowed people to pass through. A camel, however, could not pass through that smaller opening unless it got down on its knees, had its load removed from its back, and then crawled through. In referencing this story, Saint Anselm states that “the rich should not be able to pass along the narrow way that leads to life, till he had put off the burden of sin, and of riches, that is, by ceasing to love them” (Catena Aurea). So is it possible for a camel to enter through the “eye of the needle” and, therefore, a rich man to enter into Heaven? Yes. But only under the condition of being on their knees, humbling themselves, and ridding themselves of the “baggage” of their riches.For those who are truly rich in the things of this world, this Gospel passage may be difficult to read and reflect upon. It was spoken in reference to the rich young man who asked Jesus how he can enter into eternal life. Jesus' answer was “go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven.” At that, the rich young man went away sad because he was clearly attached to his wealth.Jesus' explanation above, however, should give hope to anyone who struggles with this high expectation. The disciples were truly troubled by what Jesus said, and that is why Jesus followed up by saying, “For men this is impossible, but for God all things are possible.” For God all things are possible! This statement of fact should be carefully pondered and believed by anyone who struggles with being overly attached to material riches. It should also be noted that one can be attached to riches even if they do not have riches. The desire for more is the attachment that needs to be cleansed, not the actual possession of riches. In fact, it is possible to have many possessions and not be attached to them at all. This is the beauty of poverty of spirit. But be careful not to presume that you have perfected this beatitude too quickly. Jesus' statement above was said out of love for those who are overly attached to the things of this world. So if this is you, be merciful to yourself and pay close attention to Jesus' words and your own interior struggle with this.Reflect, today, upon this clear and unambiguous statement of Jesus. “It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for one who is rich to enter the Kingdom of God.” Do you believe this? Can you accept this? Is Jesus speaking to you through this passage? Again, even if you are materially poor, is your desire for riches strong? If so, this passage equally applies to you. Allow this passage to sit within your heart in a prayerful way and try to be as honest as you can with yourself as you read it. Do not hesitate to choose the true riches of Heaven over the passing things of this world. In the end, the value of spiritual wealth infinitely outweighs anything you possess for your short time here on earth. Lord of true riches, You desire that each of us be filled with spiritual wealth that is infinitely greater than anything we could obtain in this world. Please free me from my attachment to material wealth so that I can live free from that burden. Help me to see the value of the treasures of Your grace and mercy and to make this true wealth the single focus of my life. Jesus, I trust in You.Source of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2024 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.

Full Text of ReadingsFourth Sunday of Easter Lectionary: 50The Saint of the day is Saint AnselmSaint Anselm's Story Indifferent toward religion as a young man, Anselm became one of the Church's greatest theologians and leaders. He received the title “Father of Scholasticism” for his attempt to analyze and illumine the truths of faith through the aid of reason. At 15, Anselm wanted to enter a monastery, but was refused acceptance because of his father's opposition. Twelve years later, after careless disinterest in religion and years of worldly living, he finally fulfilled his desire to be a monk. He entered the monastery of Bec in Normandy, was elected prior three years later, and 15 years later, was unanimously chosen abbot. Considered an original and independent thinker, Anselm was admired for his patience, gentleness, and teaching skill. Under his leadership, the Abbey of Bec became a monastic school, influential in philosophical and theological studies. During these years, at the community's request, Anselm began publishing his theological works, comparable to those of Saint Augustine. His best-known work is the book Cur Deus Homo (“Why God Became Man”). Against his will, Anselm was appointed archbishop of Canterbury in 1093, at age 60. His appointment was opposed at first by England's King William Rufus and later accepted. Rufus persistently refused to cooperate with efforts to reform the Church. Anselm finally went into voluntary exile until Rufus died in 1100. He was then recalled to England by Rufus' brother and successor, Henry I. Disagreeing fearlessly with Henry over the king's insistence on investing England's bishops, Anselm spent another three years in exile in Rome. His care and concern extended to the very poorest people. Opposing the slave trade, Anselm obtained from the national council at Westminster the passage of a resolution prohibiting the sale of human beings. Reflection Like every true follower of Christ, Anselm had to carry his cross, especially in the form of opposition and conflict with those in political control. Though personally a mild and gentle man and a lover of peace, he would not back off from conflict and persecution when principles were at stake.

Saint Anselm 2023 Hello St. Mary Magdalene,  Happy feast of St. Anselm a bishop and Doctor of the Church who gave us this beautiful prayer:  "O Lord, you are my Lord and my God, yet I have never seen you. You have created and redeemed me, and have conferred on me all my goods, yet I know you not. I was created in order that I might know you, but I have not yet attained the goal of my creation. I confess, O Lord, and give you thanks, that you have created me in your image, so that I might be mindful of you and contemplate you and love you. I seek not to understand in order that I may believe, but rather, I believe in order that I may understand. Amen."  Also, please pray for me these next two weeks as I go on my pilgrimage to Portugal and Spain with a visit to Fatima! Know that I am praying for you too during this pilgrimage. God bless,  Fr. Chris Visit us: https://www.smarymag.org Support us online: https://membership.faithdirect.net/AZ754

Over the course of the school year, professors Laura Shea, Christian Gregory, and a band of students helped to create the Humanitas journal: a collection of student work made by students for students. Shea and Gregory shared their collective humanity and why they were called to teach at Saint Anselm. Humanitas is the college's first literary journal, coming out on April 24th.

Today's Topics: 1) Reading 1 - Acts 5:34-42 - A Pharisee in the Sanhedrin named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, respected by all the people, stood up, ordered the Apostles to be put outside for a short time, and said to the Sanhedrin, "Fellow children of Israel, be careful what you are about to do to these men. Some time ago, Theudas appeared, claiming to be someone important, and about four hundred men joined him, but he was killed, and all those who were loyal to him were disbanded and came to nothing. After him came Judas the Galilean at the time of the census. He also drew people after him, but he too perished and all who were loyal to him were scattered. So now I tell you, have nothing to do with these men, and let them go. For if this endeavor or this activity is of human origin, it will destroy itself. But if it comes from God, you will not be able to destroy them; you may even find yourselves fighting against God." They were persuaded by him. After recalling the Apostles, they had them flogged, ordered them to stop speaking in the name of Jesus, and dismissed them. So they left the presence of the Sanhedrin, rejoicing that they had been found worthy to suffer dishonor for the sake of the name. And all day long, both at the temple and in their homes, they did not stop teaching and proclaiming the Christ, Jesus.

Ask your smart speaker to play “Catholic News,” or listen every morning wherever you get podcasts. www.catholicnewsagency.com - The Archdiocese of Boston is responding to the Satanic Temple's “SatanCon” event in Boston with scheduled eucharistic adoration, Catholic devotions, and “intense prayer.” “SatanCon,” as the Satanic Temple calls the event, is sold out and is being held from Friday to Sunday, April 28–30, at the Boston Marriott Copley Place to celebrate the organization's history and values. The Satanic Temple, which, according to its website, denies the existence of God and Satan, is a political activist group known for protesting religious symbolism in public spaces and mocking Christianity. The archdiocese is offering parishes prayer cards while encouraging the recitation of the Saint Michael the Archangel prayer. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/254141/call-to-intense-prayer-boston-archdiocese-responds-to-satanic-temples-conference A 5-year-old boy was reportedly beheaded when Islamists attacked a village in southern Kaduna State, Nigeria, leaving dozens of people dead. In the April 15 attack, the killers descended on Runji village in Zangon Kataf Local Government Area (LGA) of southern Kaduna State, leaving 33 people dead, among them 14 children. The 33 victims of the attack on Runji village were reportedly buried in a mass grave amid distressing scenes. In another attack on April 12, nine people were killed, four were injured, and five homes were damaged during an attack on Tanjei village in the area. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/254147/5-year-old-beheaded-33-killed-in-nigeria-christian-foundation-calls-for-action Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves this week signed into law several pieces of pro-life and pro-family legislation, including the expansion of tax credits for pro-life pregnancy centers and adoption expenses. In an April 19 press release announcing the new laws, Reeves said they are part of a “New Pro-life Agenda” that Mississippi is pushing following the overturning of Roe v Wade last year. The legislation expands the tax credit for pregnancy resource centers across the state from $3.5 million to $10 million and creates an income tax credit for qualified adoption expenses. The program will cover a maximum of $10,000 worth of adoption expenses for those who adopt a child from Mississippi and $5,000 worth of expenses for children outside of Mississippi, according to the governor's press release. Reeves also signed legislation authorizing “safe haven” baby boxes across Mississippi, where babies can be safely and legally surrendered. Mississippi has a 15-week abortion limit in place. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/254146/mississippi-to-implement-new-pro-family-measures-after-governor-signs-bills Today the Church celebrates Saint Anselm, the 11th and 12th-century Benedictine monk and archbishop best known for his writings on Christ's atonement and the existence of God. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/saint/st-anselm-443

Saint Of The Day With Mike Roberts!

#4 Maryland needed an insane 3-save sequence out of Brian Ruppel to nab themselves a chance to defeat #1 Virginia in overtime, and thanks to the freshman goaltender, Maryland was able to eek out the sudden death win off a Daniel Kelly goal, dished by Braden Erksa on the ensuing possession. That was just one of a handful of Saturday games that required overtime to decide a winner. Sam Handley scored the game winner for Penn over Princeton. Sam King assisted on the game tying goal and scored the game winner in overtime for Harvard in their win over Brown. Drexel and Lafayette each won in overtime as well over Towson and Colgate respectively. Another surprise on the day was Marquette taking down Penn State by a goal after holding off the Nittany Lion's late rally. Loyola was able to top Patriot League foe Bucknell by a goal, 14-13 on the road. In D3 action, Christopher Newport beat #1 and undefeated RIT and #2 Gettysburg lost to Denison on a weekend that saw top two teams in D3 both get dropped. In D2 action, Lemoyne was able to edge out Saint Anselm by a goal to remain undefeated and hold on to their #1 ranking going into next week.

What is the meaning behind Jesus’ death and resurrection? Christians believe that Jesus’ sacrifice reconciled the relationship between humankind and our creator, God. However, it is not quite that simple. Over thousands of years, theologians and followers of Jesus have tried to articulate this nuance through metaphors, emphasizing some aspects of Jesus’ sacrifice over others. In this conversation, we aim to dissect the different theories of atonement and bring clarity to the larger picture of the gospel.

When COVID hit and college sports were thrown into limbo, Saint Anselm quarterback Philip Tran started an online business that quickly became an intense passion. The fire he felt in combo with the energy demands of the entrepreneur life all of a sudden meant his lifelong love of football scooted to the back burner of his world. As he geared up for the 2021 season, Philip began to realize that it wasn't fair to himself or his team to give only 50/50 to both of these commitments. He knew he'd have to make one of the hardest decisions of his life. Listen now on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.

Father Bill Kuchinsky, 62, a longtime advocate for the unborn who also runs the Catholic prison ministry for the entire state of West Virginia, declined to disclose the burial location other than to say it was in a private cemetery. CNA also found that Kuchinsky's bishop, Bishop Mark Brennan of the Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston, fully supports the actions Kuchinsky took to ensure the babies' remains were treated respectfully. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/251015/priest-funeral-mass-burial-dc-aborted-babies Vicki Thorn, Catholic pro-life pioneer, international speaker, author, and a member of the Pontifical Academy of Life, died Tuesday, April 20 at age 72. Thorn founded Project Rachel, a groundbreaking post-abortion healing ministry that started in the Archdiocese of Milwaukee and has since spread to dioceses across the US and around the world. As a certified trauma counselor and spiritual director who earned a degree in psychology from the University of Minnesota, Thorn launched Project Rachel in 1984. The ministry was staffed by a team of specially trained priests, spiritual directors, and other caregivers, and received an immediate response from both women and men who had been wounded by the experience of abortion. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/251025/vicki-thorn-pro-life-project-rachel-abortion-healing Today the Church celebrates Saint Anselm, the 11th and 12th-century Benedictine monk and archbishop best known for his writings on Christ's atonement and the existence of God. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/saint/st-anselm-443

April 21: Saint Anselm, Bishop and Doctorc. 1033–1109Optional Memorial; Liturgical Color: WhiteHis pen pierced the blue sheet above, revealing GodFew bishops have been canonized as saints since the Catholic Counter-Reformation of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The earlier history of the Church is, however, replete with saintly bishops. In the patristic era, in the first few centuries after Christ, a vast constellation of saintly bishops shined on the Church. Today's saint was a scholar bishop in the mold of the educated churchmen of an earlier time. Saint Anselm was a world-class thinker, a politically aware defender of the Church's rights, a contemplative monk, a faithful son of the pope, and the greatest philosopher of the eleventh century.Saint Anselm entered the Monastery of Bec in Normandy, France, as a young man and quickly impressed his superiors with his character and incisive mind. He was elected prior, then abbot, at a young age. He was a deeply prayerful abbot who was close to his monks and who hated to be away from the cloister. The monastery had many dealings with England due to its close proximity to that country, though, so Anselm travelled there regularly. These visits eventually led to his appointment as the Archbishop of Canterbury. Anselm spent many years as archbishop in conflict with English civil power over who had the authority to “invest,” or empower, a bishop with the symbols of office at his installation Mass. The lay investiture controversy was a long simmering dispute throughout Europe. It was eventually resolved in favor of the Church's right to invest its bishops with crozier, miter, and ring.Much more than his role as a pastor in church-state conflicts, Saint Anselm's most enduring legacy is as a philosopher and theologian. Thinking was his avocation even as the monastery was his vocation. Anselm's famous definition of theology as “Faith seeking understanding” has guided centuries of Christian thinkers. Anselm was a working intellectual who produced erudite works on a range of complex subjects. He is the originator, in particular, of the ontological argument for the existence of God. The argument is ontological (or just “logical”) in that it is not empirical (scientifically verifiable). It does not argue from outward in, starting with external, observable evidence and then moving toward internal conclusions. The argument is powered, instead, by the raw strength of reason itself. As an example of a reason-driven argument, no one needs to search the world over for square circles to conclude that square circles don't exist. Circles are round, by definition. And no one needs to interview every single bachelor to know that a bachelor is male. A bachelor is, by definition, male. Similarly, the very definition of God, Anselm's holds, is proof that God exists.Anselm argued that God is a being than which none greater can be imagined. Supposing that the mind can imagine nothing greater than God, and further supposing that what exists in reality is greater than what exists only in the mind, then God must exist in reality. God's non-existence is, then, logically impossible. This argument assumes that the maximum, or upper limit, to what the mind can attribute to God is self-contained in the meaning of the word God. No such upper limit exists in defining pain, temperature, length, or numbers,for example. A longer line can always be drawn, a greater number imagined, a sharper pain experienced, or a hotter temperature described. But to imagine a being greater than God would just be to imagine God more fully. As long as the mind's concept of God is rational, then the argument is convincing. Anselm's nuanced argument has provoked centuries of sophisticated commentary.Anselm's life began among the Alps of today's Northern Italy, a land of jagged, snow-encrusted mountains which stand over the green valleys below. One night the boy Anselm, asleep in his remote valley home, had a vision. He was called to the court of God on a high summit. Ascending to the very peak of a mountain, he entered the presence of the royal court and sat at the feet of the Master. God asked the boy who he was and where he came from. Anselm answered well and was rewarded with sweet bread from heaven. And then he woke up. Anselm never forgot this dream. He recounted it, in detail, many decades later, to the fellow monk who wrote his first biography. Saint Anselm's mind never really came down from that high court he first visited in a childhood dream. He walked in the highest ranges, above the clouds, hiking from summit to summit, his pen piercing the blue sky to gaze directly into the realm above.We ask your intercession, Saint Anselm, to help our faith to understand its object. You did not leave man's sense of wonder unchallenged but sought to organize human thought to meet the challenge of God. Help all thinkers to be open to finding as much as searching.

In this episode of Humanity Examined, we explore the world of language with Professor Jaime Orrego. Having grown up in Colombia, and living for a period in Chile, Orrego reflects upon his past and move to the United States. In our conversation, the cultural shift within his life is mirrored on the subject of Spanish literature through the themes of magical realism, practiced by many Latin authors. Common experiences amongst one group may seem magical to another, and this concept is a key to understanding our humanity from Orrego's perspective. He had studied engineering during his time as an undergraduate, but would later become a Professor of Spanish literature in the United States. This change in his career has been one of the greatest decisions Orrego has made. He is currently the chair of the language department and continues to teach at Saint Anselm, extending the fascinating world of Latin American text to students and faculty alike.

In this episode of Humanity Examined, we have two special guests. Both student athletes on the women's basketball team here at Saint Anselm, Jenoyce Laniyan, and Macy Spinks sit down to talk about how their humanity has impacted their lives in both academics and on the court. In our conversation, we discuss the importance of mental health while also performing to one's greatest abilities. The thoughts of these stars are inspiring for not only student athletes, but those wishing to become the best versions of themselves while exerting the pinnacle qualities of their humanity.

Our show has featured the insights of a renowned artist before, but what happens when art meets science and medicine? In this episode, we talk with one of the College's Nursing professors, Destiny Brady about her transition from an aspiring filmmaker to nursing. Professor Brady discusses how the well-roundedness of the liberal arts education offers students at Saint Anselm a perspective that readies them for the demands of medical work and a life of compassionate care. Our conversation also includes Professor Brady's reflections on the profession of nursing, challenges within our healthcare system, and what to do to support our medical community.

Who was Anselm of Canterbury? What is Saint Anselm of Aosta most known for, theologically speaking, in church history?

Professor Kevin Staley joins us today in discussing all things philosophical and environmental. These subjects are central to the character of this notable Saint Anselm teacher and local New Hampshire “urban gardener” whose fascination with the natural world has contributed greatly to his philosophical outlook. Kevin has been cultivating the soil and cultivating curiosity in Saint Anselm students for three and a half decades as he continues to try to understand where we humans fit into seen and unseen universe. Settle in for this free-wheeling conversation about Kevin's Kentucky upbringing, metaphysical ideas, Neoplatonic thought, and what we can learn from Boethius, pepper plants, and our dogs.

New Hampshire artist, Sylvia Nicolas, joins us today to bring her perspective on what it's like to grow up into a world heavily influenced by the arts. As a fourth generation artist, she has worked all around the world with her immigrant roots in Holland, then moving to Paris, New York and of course New Hampshire. Her works which edify the campus of Saint Anselm College and Saint Anselm Abbey include mosaics, stain glass and her well-known statues of Saint Anselm, Saint Benedict and the Grotto Madonna. These familiar manifestations of her creative genius are just a portion of Sylvia's life's work. Her artistic creations are preceded by an impressive amount of research and analysis which makes her finished work an honest and visionary representation of her subjects. Her dedication to the intellectual life and the way the humanities animate her art make for a lively and engaging conversation with this artist who has been named “a living treasure” of the state of New Hampshire.

On today's episode CJ talks about dealing with his anxiety, depression and how making certain life changes has helped him cope and mitigate the things he has dealt with.

Riley Buchanan, a sophomore from Windham, NH, has worked closely with the Humanities Institute, assisting with communications and marketing since the start of 2021. Today, Riley shares her insights as to how The Humanities have impacted her life growing up and how those lessons made her the person she is today. Our conversation greatly reflects that of the younger generation and what it's like to pursue a Liberal Arts education within the post pandemic world. Listen as both Riley and James reminisce upon the dialogues they enjoyed in Conversatio, Saint Anselm's first-year humanities course. Our conversation not only represents a student's perspective on Liberal Arts based learning, but more specifically turns to how one can create a foundation for defining and living the good life.

I thoroughly enjoyed and learned some history reading local writer Pat Klimcho's novel The College of St. Anselm and needed to pick his brain to learn where the concept for the novel began, any publishing tips for novice writers, and if he had any plans for a sequel. (He does; I can't wait to read it and will look forward to the movie!) Meanwhile… The College of Saint Anselm is a historical thriller filled with duels, pirates, famous battles, reluctant heroes and courageous damsels in distress. At another level, it is a story of people facing loss and their struggle to adapt to ever-changing environments as they seek to find some meaning to a life of eternal youth. https://anchor.fm/jane-stahl/episodes/More-Please--Enjoy-Pat-Klimchos-Historical-Thriller-College-of-St--Anselm-e1791tv Find more information about Studio B Fine Art Gallery on our website: studiobbb.org, on Studio B's Facebook page, by contacting Jane Stahl, janeEstahl@comcast.net, 610-563-7879, or stopping by Studio B.

In recent weeks, Afghanistan, the Delta surge, Hurricane Ida, and mixed economic news have changed what's on voters' minds, and driven new and more negative perceptions of elected leaders and policies in the U.S. Joe Biden is significantly down, as are views of the Democratic Party and the state of the country overall. One of the very best polls in New Hampshire or around the country tracking these views comes from the Saint Anselm College Survey Center. The Executive Director of the New Hampshire Institute of Politics at Saint Anselm is Neil Levesque...he oversees this poll, and he joins us to discuss what it says about the current state of politics in America.

Again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for one who is rich to enter the Kingdom of God.” When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and said, “Who then can be saved?” Jesus looked at them and said, “For men this is impossible, but for God all things are possible.” Matthew 19:24–26According to one tradition, the “eye of the needle” referred to a gate in the wall of Jerusalem. During the day, there was a large gate that was open through which a camel could easily pass. But at night, the larger gate was closed and there was a smaller opening in the center of the gate that allowed people to pass through. A camel, however, could not pass through that smaller opening unless it got down on its knees, had its load removed from its back, and then crawled through. In referencing this story, Saint Anselm states that “the rich should not be able to pass along the narrow way that leads to life, till he had put off the burden of sin, and of riches, that is, by ceasing to love them” (Catena Aurea). So is it possible for a camel to enter through the “eye of the needle” and, therefore, a rich man to enter into Heaven? Yes. But only under the condition of being on their knees, humbling themselves, and ridding themselves of the “baggage” of their riches.For those who are truly rich in the things of this world, this Gospel passage may be difficult to read and reflect upon. It was spoken in reference to the rich young man who asked Jesus how he can enter into eternal life. Jesus' answer was “go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven.” At that, the rich young man went away sad because he was clearly attached to his wealth.Jesus' explanation above, however, should give hope to anyone who struggles with this high expectation. The disciples were truly troubled by what Jesus said, and that is why Jesus followed up by saying, “For men this is impossible, but for God all things are possible.” For God all things are possible! This statement of fact should be carefully pondered and believed by anyone who struggles with being overly attached to material riches. It should also be noted that one can be attached to riches even if they do not have riches. The desire for more is the attachment that needs to be cleansed, not the actual possession of riches. In fact, it is possible to have many possessions and not be attached to them at all. This is the beauty of poverty of spirit. But be careful not to presume that you have perfected this beatitude too quickly. Jesus' statement above was said out of love for those who are overly attached to the things of this world. So if this is you, be merciful to yourself and pay close attention to Jesus' words and your own interior struggle with this.Reflect, today, upon this clear and unambiguous statement of Jesus. “It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for one who is rich to enter the Kingdom of God.” Do you believe this? Can you accept this? Is Jesus speaking to you through this passage? Again, even if you are materially poor, is your desire for riches strong? If so, this passage equally applies to you. Allow this passage to sit within your heart in a prayerful way and try to be as honest as you can with yourself as you read it. Do not hesitate to choose the true riches of Heaven over the passing things of this world. In the end, the value of spiritual wealth infinitely outweighs anything you possess for your short time here on earth.Lord of true riches, You desire that each of us be filled with spiritual wealth that is infinitely greater than anything we could obtain in this world. Please free me from my attachment to material wealth so that I can live free from that burden. Help me to see the value of the treasures of Your grace and mercy and to make this true wealth the single focus of my life. Jesus, I trust in You.Source of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2021 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved. Used with permission via RSS feed.

Saint Anselm was born at Aosta in Piedmont. After a period of neglect of religion, he entered the Benedictine Order at the monastery of Bec, in Normandy, the center of the monastic revival in that part of France. He is a Doctor of the Church because of his writings in philosophy and theology, and because of his spirituality, which focuses on the sufferings of Christ. No doubt this orientation, which affected subsequent Cistercian spirituality, was reflected in the gentle and compassionate nature of Anselm, which De La Salle mentions in this meditation.

Last Sunday was a record-breaking day at Bradford Country Club as Haverhill-native Nick Maccario set a course record, shooting a 56 and breaking the previous course record, that he also held.Maccario, now of Waltham, told WHAV listeners Tuesday morning that he didn't begin the day with any expectations.“I've grown up at Bradford and Garrison, and just have played a ton of rounds of golf there. So, didn't feel anything necessarily special going into it. A couple of years back I shot 63 which is 8 under par, and on Sunday, long story short, ended up shooting 15 under 56. So, definitely broke the record,” he explained.Maccario said he was four under par thru the first six holes, and eight under thru nine.“At that point I just said ‘let's have fun.' I was playing with good friends, and we were all playing pretty well. It was easy to play. My friend, Nick Antonelli, who's a pro—so watching him play was easy. He shot 64 on his own ball the whole day, as well. It was one of those things where we got to the 12th hole, 13th hole, started to get to double digits under par, and Nick Fiset said don't let off the gas pedal. Just tried to make as many birdies as I can. You have the opportunity to make that many on any given day, or any given round. We had perfect weather so I just went out there and tried to make as many circles on the scorecard as I could,” he said.On the day, Maccario scored five pars, 11 birdies and two eagles at Bradford. While growing up in Haverhill, he had a chance to work at the Bradford Country Club and get in a few rounds of golf. He played four years of golf at St John's Prep, as well as some competitive golf at Saint Anselm's College. Now, Maccario plays in various local, regional and national tournaments in his spare time.Support the show (https://whav.net/become-a-whav-member/)

On September 28, Marlborough High 2017 graduate Connor Walker could feel his legs. A day later, the Saint Anselm sophomore football player could not. Following a spinal cord injury in a game against Southern Connecticut, Connor was rushed to the hospital when he couldn't feel or move his body. Roughly three days later, he finally regained full feeling in his upper body but still can't feel his lower half to this day. Connor, along with his father, Robbie Walker, joined host Tommy to talk about the events of Sept. 29, the diagnosis, the rehab and now the future.Connor and his father also chatted with Tommy about the community outreach, Connor's plans moving forward and even discussed the "pimp mobile" that Connor would like to drive again someday. Read about Connor's journey and view the photos of Connor taking his first steps, on the MetroWest Daily News's website.

For the past 1,000 years, the doctrine of penal atonement, developed by Saint Anselm, has pervaded Christian churches of nearly every denomination. The Puritans, John Wesley, and Charles Finney were some who stood against this false teaching that Christ literally became sin and that believers will always be sinners. An in-depth look at Scripture, in translation and in the original Greek, reveals that Jesus Christ is atonement and that he offered himself to forgive our past sins and to remove sin from us […]

In this episode we jump around in time. From a conversation last year at a bagel shop, to  Paco’s college years and all the way back to the middle ages. What do an everything bagel and the ontological argument for the existence of God have to do with each other? We discuss Saint Anselm’s extremely analytical argument for God and how his contemporary, Gaunilo of Marmoutiers, challenged it directly with an equally objective critique. We follow this argument all the way up modern day with the work of Alvin Plantinga.  And it wouldn’t be one of our shows without a fascinating Bertrand Russell anecdote. Also find out about the latest exciting developments in the world of Michigan-based philosophy. A jam-packed episode.
