Today's Topics: Father Raymond of the Blessed Sacrament joins Terry 1) Gospel - Luke 17:1-6 - Jesus said to His disciples, "Things that cause sin will inevitably occur, but woe to the one through whom they occur. It would be better for him if a millstone were put around his neck and he be thrown into the sea than for him to cause one of these little ones to sin. Be on your guard! If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him. And if he wrongs you seven times in one day and returns to you seven times saying, 'I am sorry,' you should forgive him." And the Apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith." The Lord replied, "If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you would say to this mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it would obey you."

Gospel Luke 17:1-6 Jesus said to his disciples, "Things that cause sin will inevitably occur, but woe to the one through whom they occur. It would be better for him if a millstone were put around his neck and he be thrown into the sea than for him to cause one of these little ones to sin. Be on your guard! If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him. And if he wrongs you seven times in one day and returns to you seven times saying, 'I am sorry,' you should forgive him." And the Apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith." The Lord replied, "If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you would say to this mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it would obey you.” Reflection It's important to remember that Jesus' disciples had not yet experienced the overflow of the Holy Spirit descending upon them, as it did on Pentecost. So they were always a little confused, out of sync with the teaching of Jesus. And this case, we see something that was so basic to the change from Old to New Testament, from justice to mercy, that Jesus always stressed the importance of forgiving and forgiving and forgiving again. But it was really hard for the disciples to understand this. And so as soon as he says it, they say, well, increase our ability to accept this, to have faith in this, because it doesn't make any sense. And then he says the most important thing, It's not for you to figure this out right now. What is important is you know that this is the core of my teaching, and you will one day have the faith that you need to believe that I can be the source of all forgiveness flowing through you as I forgive you. Closing Prayer Father, keep us always in touch with the beauty and the compassion that is in a forgiving heart. Who are we to judge? Who are we to condemn? Bless us with mercy, a forgiving heart, as we continue to build the kingdom of God. And we ask this in Jesus' name, Amen. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Delivered by Johana from the Parish of Sacred Heart of Jesus Cathedral in the Archdiocese of Makassar, Indonesia. Wisdom 1: 1-7; Rs psalm 139: 1-3.4-6.7-8.9-10; Luke 17: 1-6.DON'T BECOME ASCANDAL The theme of ourmeditation today is: Don't Become a Scandal. A parish priest shared that on oneoccasion he was involved in a misunderstanding with the staff and severalfamilies in the parish he served. The misunderstanding escalated into anuncontrolled argument, causing most of the faithful to become inflamed andangry. However, the parish priest did not appear to become emotional or angry.He remained calm and controlled. He kept his words as gentle as possible anddid not offend any body. He had to continue treating them as his people whoneeded to be listened to, understood, and loved. If the Priest alsogot emotional and angry, then treated his parishioners with violence, then ofcourse he would become a scandal for them and also the entire members of theParish. The word "scandal" in Greek is scandalon. Its meaning is atrap or stumbling block that causes others to be trapped and fall. Thescriptures explicitly warn us about scandals or tricks that keep people fromtheir Lord and bring them into sin. Psalm 141.9 says: Free me from the trapthey have put to trap me, and from the deception of the wicked. Similar tothis, the first letter of John says: Whoever loves his brother or sister livesin the light, in that person there is no stumbling block. Our big challenge asthe followers of Christ is: don't become a scandal. Jesus says in the Gospel oftoday that we must not cause one of the weakest among us to fall into sin.Those who are classified as the weakest among us are the little ones, sick, childrenand young people, poor, abandoned and those who are not taken into account.Their lives have been difficult physically, mentally and spiritually, so theyshould not be made more difficult in life. Those that cause them difficult andso deprived are those who have power, the smart ones, rich, those who havepositions and influences. If you feel yourself part of these categories, try toavoid being a scandal for the weakest ones. One good suggestionhere is this: we should not show bad or negative examples, which may bringothers to sin. Priests and religious persons can become scandalous because ofdirty talks they utter in front of the people. Parents become scandalousbecause of fighting between them and seen their own children. The teacher islazy in the midst of his students. The big brother steals something andwitnessed by his younger brother. And, there are many more examples that areoften done intentionally by those who are not supposed to do those acts. Let us learn to avoidscandalous acts by showing good and right examples. Let's pray. In the name of the Father... O Father almighty, may we open ourselves sincerely to Your Spirit, so thatwe are always renewed and purified, then come to renew the world from all formsof scandal. Hail Mary, full of grace ... In the name of the Father ...

Pope Leo was one of the great bastions of Orthodoxy during the time of the monophysite heresy and its offshoots. 'According to some, this Saint was born in Rome, but according to others in Tyrrenia (Tuscany), and was consecrated to the archiepiscopal throne of Rome in 440. In 448, when St Flavian, Archbishop of Constantinople [also commemorated today], summoned Eutyches, an archimandrite in Constantinople, to give account for his teaching that there was only one nature in Christ after the Incarnation, Eutyches appealed to St Leo in Rome. After St Leo had carefully examined Eutyches' teachings, he wrote an epistle to St Flavian, setting forth the Orthodox teaching of the person of Christ, and His two natures, and also counseling Flavian that, should Eutyches sincerely repent of his error, he should be received back with all good will. At the Council held in Ephesus in 449, which was presided over by Dioscorus, Patriarch of Alexandria (and which Saint Leo, in a letter to the holy Empress Pulcheria in 451, was the first to call "The Robber Council"), Dioscorus, having military might behind him, did not allow Saint Leo's epistle to Flavian to be read, although repeatedly asked to do so; even before the Robber Council was held, Dioscorus had uncanonically received the unrepentant Eutyches back into communion. Because Saint Leo had many cares in Rome owing to the wars of Attila the Hun and other barbarians, in 451 he sent four delegates to the Fourth Ecumenical Council, where 630 Fathers gathered in Chalcedon during the reign of Marcian, to condemn the teachings of Eutyches and those who supported him. Saint Leo's epistle to Flavian was read at the Fourth Council, and was confirmed by the Holy Fathers as the Orthodox teaching on the incarnate Person of our Lord; it is also called the "Tome of Leo." The Saint wrote many works in Latin; he reposed in 461.'(Great Horologion).   St Leo is remembered for saving Rome from conquest by Attila the Hun. When Attila drew near to Rome, preparing to pillage the city, St Leo went out to him in his episcopal vestments and enjoined him to turn back. For reasons unknown to worldly historians, the pitiless Attila with all his troops abandoned their attack and returned the way they had come.

Rita discussed the Gospel of Mark, chapter 3, verses 7-12, emphasizing the importance of faith and the Holy Spirit's guidance in understanding the text. She also explored the nature of Jesus Christ, the role of humility and forgiveness in overcoming evil, and the teachings of Saint Bede about Arianism.  00:00 Exploring Gospel of Mark With Faith  She emphasized the importance of faith in touching Jesus, as explained by St. Augustine of Hippo. Rita also highlighted the significance of the Holy Spirit's guidance in understanding the text and the Church Fathers' interpretations. She concluded the segment with a prayer, asking for the Holy Spirit's assistance in interpreting the text and becoming a clearer version of Jesus. 03:23 Faith, Dedication, and the Power of Love  Rita emphasized the importance of faith and dedication in prayer, contrasting it with the actions of those who arrested Jesus, whose touch was not driven by faith. She encouraged the audience to reflect on the kind of faith they have, whether it's just a profession or one driven by love. Rita also highlighted the need to open up all areas of one's life to Christ for healing and to experience miracles. 13:55 Exploring Jesus' Qualities and Humility  Rita discussed the nature of Jesus Christ, emphasizing his qualities of love, joy, peace, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. She referenced the commentary of Cornelius a Lapide, who noted that the unclean spirits recognized Jesus as the Son of God due to his miracles and the fulfillment of prophecies. 19:17 Humility, Forgiveness, and Conquering Evil  Rita discussed the importance of humility and forgiveness in overcoming evil, using the example of Saint Leo the Great's sermon on the Passion. She emphasized the need to love those who hate us and pray for them, as this is the essence of conquering evil. Rita also discussed the role of Peter, James, and John in the early Christian church, and how the Pharisees accused Jesus of breaking the Sabbath. 25:33 Arianism and the Nicene Creed Explained  Rita discussed the teachings of Saint Bede about Arianism, a theological belief that arose in the early 4th century, which denied the full divinity of Christ. She explained that Arianism was condemned as heresy by the Catholic Church in the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD and later affirmed in the Council of Constantinople in 381 AD. Rita also mentioned that the Nicene Creed, recited in the Catholic mass today, was formulated in response to Arianism to affirm the full divinity of Christ. 32:05 Approaching Jesus With Humility and Love Rita discussed the importance of approaching Jesus with humility and receptiveness, rather than being preoccupied with worldly matters. She emphasized the distinction between those who merely approach Jesus and those who truly touch him with love and faith. She suggested that seeking to enter the presence of God in peace can lead to healing and calmness in one's heart. Rita ended the conversation by thanking everyone for joining and encouraging them to connect with her on social media.

Hey, friends! This episode is all about a reluctant bishop who was elected thanks to a communal dream and fought against a heretic in a miraculous way. Let's turn up the heat with our new friend: Saint Leo the Wonderworker.

Pope Leo was one of the great bastions of Orthodoxy during the time of the monophysite heresy and its offshoots.

Division II veteran Rick O'Dette, who has amassed over 500 wins and led his teams to NCAA Regional play four times during his career, was named Saint Leo's new head baseball coach on June 15, 2017, ushering in a new era for Saint Leo baseball. O'Dette made an immediate impact on the Saint Leo baseball program taking a team that had achieved just 23 wins in 2017 and amassing 38 victories in his first season at the helm. The Lions finished the year with an impressive 38-11 mark including taking two of three from Florida Southern on the road who was ranked No. 1 in the NCAA at the time. Under O'Dette's guidance, junior utility player Peyton Isaacson led the NCAA in saves with 14 in just 21 appearances on the mound. The junior tied the Saint Leo program record for saves in a season while also filling the role of starting catcher and first baseman throughout the season.

Today's Topics: 1) Gospel - Lk 16:1-8- Jesus said to His disciples, "A rich man had a steward who was reported to him for squandering his property. He summoned him and said, 'What is this I hear about you? Prepare a full account of your stewardship, because you can no longer be my steward.' The steward said to himself, 'What shall I do, now that my master is taking the position of steward away from me? I am not strong enough to dig and I am ashamed to beg. I know what I shall do so that, when I am removed from the stewardship, they may welcome me into their homes.' He called in his master's debtors one by one. To the first he said, 'How much do you owe my master?' He replied, 'One hundred measures of olive oil.' He said to him, 'Here is your promissory note. Sit down and quickly write one for fifty.' Then to another he said, 'And you, how much do you owe?' He replied, 'One hundred measures of wheat.' He said to him, 'Here is your promissory note; write one for eighty.' And the master commended that dishonest steward for acting prudently. For the children of this world are more prudent in dealing with their own generation than the children of light."

Full Text of ReadingsMemorial of Saint Leo the Great, Pope and Doctor of the Church Lectionary: 489The Saint of the day is Saint Leo the GreatSaint Leo the Great's Story With apparent strong conviction of the importance of the Bishop of Rome in the Church, and of the Church as the ongoing sign of Christ's presence in the world, Leo the Great displayed endless dedication as pope. Elected in 440, he worked tirelessly as “Peter's successor,” guiding his fellow bishops as “equals in the episcopacy and infirmities.” Leo is known as one of the best administrative popes of the ancient Church. His work branched into four main areas, indicative of his notion of the pope's total responsibility for the flock of Christ. He worked at length to control the heresies of Pelagianism—overemphasizing human freedom—Manichaeism—seeing everything material as evil—and others, placing demands on their followers so as to secure true Christian beliefs. A second major area of his concern was doctrinal controversy in the Church in the East, to which he responded with a classic letter setting down the Church's teaching on the two natures of Christ. With strong faith, he also led the defense of Rome against barbarian attack, taking the role of peacemaker. In these three areas, Leo's work has been highly regarded. His growth to sainthood has its basis in the spiritual depth with which he approached the pastoral care of his people, which was the fourth focus of his work. He is known for his spiritually profound sermons. An instrument of the call to holiness, well-versed in Scripture and ecclesiastical awareness, Leo had the ability to reach the everyday needs and interests of his people. One of his sermons is used in the Office of Readings on Christmas. It is said of Leo that his true significance rests in his doctrinal insistence on the mysteries of Christ and the Church and in the supernatural charisms of the spiritual life given to humanity in Christ and in his Body, the Church. Thus Leo held firmly that everything he did and said as pope for the administration of the Church represented Christ, the head of the Mystical Body, and Saint Peter, in whose place Leo acted. Reflection At a time when there is widespread criticism of Church structures, we also hear criticism that bishops and priests—indeed, all of us—are too preoccupied with administration of temporal matters. Pope Leo is an example of a great administrator who used his talents in areas where spirit and structure are inseparably combined: doctrine, peace, and pastoral care. He avoided an “angelism” that tries to live without the body, as well as the “practicality” that deals only in externals. Click here for quotes from Catholic saints!

Saint Leo intervened for the safety of the Church in the West as well, persuading Attila the Hun to turn back from Rome. Eastern Catholics and Eastern Orthodox Christians also maintain a devotion to the memory of Pope Saint Leo the Great. Churches of the Byzantine tradition celebrate his feast day on February 18.

Forget about the ides of March; it's the mayhem of college softball we are discussing on this episode of In The Circle. We look at some of the results from Wednesday night and last week and how they will impact the Field of 64 as we quickly approach Selection Sunday. We also discuss how it will affect Eric's Bracketology (which can be found on Extra Innings Softball).    Next, we are joined by Gray Robertson, who will call this weekend's huge SEC showdown between LSU and Alabama. Gray discusses what's on the line for both teams, the SEC picture, and where Gray disagrees with Eric on his Top 16 national seeds.    Finally, and we mean FINALLY, Victor gets to share his thoughts on the first official D2 Rankings that came out Wednesday. He breaks down the Top 10 in each region and 1 vs. 2 showdowns in the South between Tampa and Saint Leo, as well as how the Peach Belt's new conference tournament format could lead to a massive opportunity for Columbus State. 

The three Lenten practices are: Prayer, Fasting and Almsgiving. Father Kubicki reads some words from Saint Leo the Great, about giving from the heart. Let us make sure we are giving from the heart just like the widow's donation in the Gospel.

Pope Leo was one of the great bastions of Orthodoxy during the time of the monophysite heresy and its offshoots. 'According to some, this Saint was born in Rome, but according to others in Tyrrenia (Tuscany), and was consecrated to the archiepiscopal throne of Rome in 440. In 448, when St Flavian, Archbishop of Constantinople [also commemorated today], summoned Eutyches, an archimandrite in Constantinople, to give account for his teaching that there was only one nature in Christ after the Incarnation, Eutyches appealed to St Leo in Rome. After St Leo had carefully examined Eutyches' teachings, he wrote an epistle to St Flavian, setting forth the Orthodox teaching of the person of Christ, and His two natures, and also counseling Flavian that, should Eutyches sincerely repent of his error, he should be received back with all good will. At the Council held in Ephesus in 449, which was presided over by Dioscorus, Patriarch of Alexandria (and which Saint Leo, in a letter to the holy Empress Pulcheria in 451, was the first to call "The Robber Council"), Dioscorus, having military might behind him, did not allow Saint Leo's epistle to Flavian to be read, although repeatedly asked to do so; even before the Robber Council was held, Dioscorus had uncanonically received the unrepentant Eutyches back into communion. Because Saint Leo had many cares in Rome owing to the wars of Attila the Hun and other barbarians, in 451 he sent four delegates to the Fourth Ecumenical Council, where 630 Fathers gathered in Chalcedon during the reign of Marcian, to condemn the teachings of Eutyches and those who supported him. Saint Leo's epistle to Flavian was read at the Fourth Council, and was confirmed by the Holy Fathers as the Orthodox teaching on the incarnate Person of our Lord; it is also called the "Tome of Leo." The Saint wrote many works in Latin; he reposed in 461.'(Great Horologion).   St Leo is remembered for saving Rome from conquest by Attila the Hun. When Attila drew near to Rome, preparing to pillage the city, St Leo went out to him in his episcopal vestments and enjoined him to turn back. For reasons unknown to worldly historians, the pitiless Attila with all his troops abandoned their attack and returned the way they had come.

Full Text of ReadingsMemorial of Saint Leo the Great, Pope and Doctor of the Church Lectionary: 494All podcast readings are produced by the USCCB and are from the Catholic Lectionary, based on the New American Bible and approved for use in the United States _______________________________________The Saint of the day is Saint Leo the GreatWith apparent strong conviction of the importance of the Bishop of Rome in the Church, and of the Church as the ongoing sign of Christ's presence in the world, Leo the Great displayed endless dedication as pope. Elected in 440, he worked tirelessly as “Peter's successor,” guiding his fellow bishops as “equals in the episcopacy and infirmities.” Leo is known as one of the best administrative popes of the ancient Church. His work branched into four main areas, indicative of his notion of the pope's total responsibility for the flock of Christ. He worked at length to control the heresies of Pelagianism—overemphasizing human freedom—Manichaeism—seeing everything material as evil—and others, placing demands on their followers so as to secure true Christian beliefs. A second major area of his concern was doctrinal controversy in the Church in the East, to which he responded with a classic letter setting down the Church's teaching on the two natures of Christ. With strong faith, he also led the defense of Rome against barbarian attack, taking the role of peacemaker. In these three areas, Leo's work has been highly regarded. His growth to sainthood has its basis in the spiritual depth with which he approached the pastoral care of his people, which was the fourth focus of his work. He is known for his spiritually profound sermons. An instrument of the call to holiness, well-versed in Scripture and ecclesiastical awareness, Leo had the ability to reach the everyday needs and interests of his people. One of his sermons is used in the Office of Readings on Christmas. It is said of Leo that his true significance rests in his doctrinal insistence on the mysteries of Christ and the Church and in the supernatural charisms of the spiritual life given to humanity in Christ and in his Body, the Church. Thus Leo held firmly that everything he did and said as pope for the administration of the Church represented Christ, the head of the Mystical Body, and Saint Peter, in whose place Leo acted. Reflection At a time when there is widespread criticism of Church structures, we also hear criticism that bishops and priests—indeed, all of us—are too preoccupied with administration of temporal matters. Pope Leo is an example of a great administrator who used his talents in areas where spirit and structure are inseparably combined: doctrine, peace, and pastoral care. He avoided an “angelism” that tries to live without the body, as well as the “practicality” that deals only in externals. Click here for quotes from Catholic saints!
