Full Text of Readings Monday of the Fifth Week of Lent Lectionary: 251 The Saint of the day is Saint Turibius of Mogrovejo Saint Turibius of Mogrovejo's Story Together with Rose of Lima, Saint Turibius of Mogrovejo is the first known saint of the New World, serving the Lord in Peru, South America, for 26 years. Born in Spain and educated for the law, he became so brilliant a scholar that he was made professor of law at the University of Salamanca and eventually became chief judge of the Inquisition at Granada. He succeeded too well. But he was not sharp enough a lawyer to prevent a surprising sequence of events. When the archdiocese of Lima in Peru required a new leader, Turibius was chosen to fill the post: He was the one person with the strength of character and holiness of spirit to heal the scandals that had infected that area. He cited all the canons that forbade giving laymen ecclesiastical dignities, but he was overruled. Saint Turibius of Mogrovejo was ordained priest and bishop and sent to Peru, where he found colonialism at its worst. The Spanish conquerors were guilty of every sort of oppression of the native population. Abuses among the clergy were flagrant, and he devoted his energies and suffering to this area first. He began the long and arduous visitation of an immense archdiocese, studying the language, staying two or three days in each place, often with neither bed nor food. Saint Turibius of Mogrovejo confessed every morning to his chaplain, and celebrated Mass with intense fervor. Among those to whom he gave the Sacrament of Confirmation was the future Saint Rose of Lima, and possibly the future Saint Martin de Porres. After 1590, he had the help of another great missionary, Francis Solanus, now also a saint. Though very poor his people were sensitive, dreading to accept public charity from others. Saint Turibius of Mogrovejo solved the problem by helping them anonymously. Reflection The Lord indeed writes straight with crooked lines. Against his will, and from the unlikely springboard of an Inquisition tribunal, this man became the Christlike shepherd of a poor and oppressed people. God gave him the gift of loving others as they needed it.Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

In this episode of The Masonic Roundtable, we explore the profound and contemplative world of Martinism, a tradition of Christian Hermeticism and Western esotericism that traces its roots to the 18th century. We discuss the foundational influences of Martinez de Pasqually, Louis-Claude de Saint-Martin, and others, examining how their distinct approaches to "reintegration" have shaped the various branches of the tradition. Our conversation delves into the core philosophy of the "Unknown Philosopher," focusing on the internal journey of the heart and the symbolic return of humanity to its original state. Join us as we reflect on the intersections between the Masonic quest for light and the Martinist pursuit of spiritual restoration.

Day eight of the Kouri Richins murder trial in Park City, Utah delivered the most emotionally charged testimony of the case so far — and it came not from a forensic expert or a law enforcement officer, but from the man Kouri Richins was in love with while her husband was still alive.Robert Josh Grossman took the stand on the four-year anniversary of Eric Richins' death. He had moved to Utah for Kouri. She had bought him two trucks, gifted him a birthday trip to Saint Martin, and paid him $25,000 after Eric died. Prosecutors walked the jury through years of text messages — ending with Kouri's words just days before Eric's death: "If he could just go away and you could just be here. Life would be so perfect."Grossman broke down reading them. When the judge called a recess and asked if he needed to stretch his legs, Grossman said: "It ain't the legs."Prosecutors also used the day to show the jury who Eric Richins actually was behind closed doors — a man who had quietly consulted a divorce attorney in October 2020, built a trust naming his sister as trustee over $7.6 million in assets, and told his estate attorney that Kouri had used his power of attorney to take $250,000 of his money. He didn't revoke it. He said she was the mother of his children.About two weeks after Eric's death, Kouri and Grossman drove to the Uinta Mountains. During that drive, according to Grossman, Kouri asked him what it feels like to kill someone. At the time, he thought nothing of it. Looking back, everything looked different.The defense moved for a mistrial over newly disclosed information about Carmen Lauber. Kouri Richins has pleaded not guilty and is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Send a textThe Story of Clotilde BizolonClotilde Bizolon, known throughout Lyon as Mère Bizolon, was one of the city's most beloved figures, yet her story remains surprisingly little known today. In this episode of Fabulously Delicious, Andrew Prior explores how a widowed shopkeeper became “the mother of the soldiers,” offering warmth, food, and comfort to men passing through Lyon-Perrache during both the First and Second World Wars. Her life blends French food culture, community care, and the human side of wartime history.Listeners will discover how Mère Bizolon created a simple refreshment stand that became a lifeline for soldiers: coffee, broth, chocolate, bread, and a moment of kindness served from a modest board-and-zinc shelter. Her generosity earned her the Légion d'Honneur and made her one of the most respected women in Lyon. Her work sits alongside the traditions of the Mères Lyonnaises, the women whose cooking and hospitality helped shape the city's culinary identity.This episode also explores the final, tragic chapter of her life: the assault in 1940 that led to her death, the unanswered questions surrounding the investigation, and the deep shock it caused across Lyon. Andrew recounts her funeral at the Basilica of Saint-Martin d'Ainay, the crowds who came to honour her, and the ways the city chose to preserve her memory — from a street named after her to her famous ladle now held at the Musée Gadagne.For listeners passionate about French food history, Lyonnaise cuisine, and the women who shaped France's culinary landscape, this episode offers a moving and insightful journey. It pairs beautifully with Mères Lyonnaises, The Story of Eugénie Brazier, The Story of Paul Bocuse, and Soup Onion with Beth Fuller. Join Andrew as he brings to life the legacy of Mère Bizolon, a woman whose simple acts of care left a lasting mark on Lyon and its food culture.My book Paris: A Fabulous Food Guide to the World's Most Delicious City is your ultimate companion. This is a new 2026 update for the book and you'll find hand-picked recommendations for the best boulangeries, patisseries, wine bars, cafés, and restaurants that truly capture the flavor of Paris. You can order it online at andrewpriorfabulously.com For those who want to take things further, why not come cook with me here in Montmorillon, in the heart of France's Vienne region?

Read OnlineJesus said to his disciples: “You have heard that it was said, You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy. But I say to you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you…” Matthew 5:43–44Why would we want to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us? The fallen natural mind alone reasons that an enemy is someone we should oppose and distance ourselves from, and those who persecute us deserve our wrath and condemnation. Without grace, our minds are incapable of comprehending this command. As the passage continues, Jesus answers the question for us: “that you may be children of your heavenly Father…”A child inherits his or her DNA from the mother and father. Children often resemble their parents, adopt certain traits, and might imitate some of their habits. These similarities result from both biology and learned behavior. If we choose God the Father as our true Father in Heaven, becoming a member of Jesus' family, we must inherit God's spiritual “DNA,” adopt His traits, and imitate our Lord's moral habits. Otherwise, we are not children of our heavenly Father.Just as membership in an earthly family carries obligations—such as compassion, support, and faithfulness—so does membership in God's family, with even greater responsibilities. For example, if a child of an earthly family rebels, is hostile, rejects his parents and siblings, and leaves them, the child loses out on the numerous blessings of family life, especially when the parents and other siblings are faithful servants of God. Likewise, by refusing to follow God's divine commands, we miss out on the blessings He gives His children.Because being a member of God's family demands great love, Jesus addresses the ultimate requirement He expects of us: “be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect.” True, we might only attain perfection in Heaven once we experience the purifying fires of Purgatory. However, that doesn't change the family obligations our Father imposes upon us in this life. God expects perfection, including a radical love of everyone—those who love us and those deemed “enemies” or who persecute us.The love to which God calls us knows no bounds because our heavenly Father's love for us knows no bounds. True children take on His spiritual DNA and moral habits. Moral perfection leads to spiritual communion with God—Divine Union—a gift beyond anything a rebellious spiritual child could attain through effort alone. Reflect today on God's incredible invitation given to you to be a member of His family. As you hear that invitation and respond with acceptance, consider the requirements that result from that choice. Look at those in your life for whom you hold a grudge, have a complicated relationship, or have been hurt. Do not act according to natural reason alone. Allow your mind to be elevated by truth so that you understand what God expects of you, and allow your will to be strengthened by grace so that you can act toward others as your heavenly Father acts toward you. Most loving God, Your love never fails, never diminishes, never changes. It is perfect in every way. My love is often selfish, limited, and erratic. I accept Your invitation to be a member of Your heavenly family and pray that I will learn to see all people with Your wisdom and love them with Your heart. Forgive me for my lack of love, and transform me into Your child by grace. Jesus, I trust in You.Image: Église Saint-Martin de Castelnau-d'Estrétefonds, CC BY-SA 4.0, via Wikimedia CommonsSource: Free RSS feed from catholic-daily-reflections.com — Copyright © 2026 My Catholic Life!

Read OnlineWhen Jesus saw the crowds, he went up the mountain, and after he had sat down, his disciples came to him. He began to teach them, saying: “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 5:1–3The Beatitudes call us to the heights of morality and holiness. Those who live according to these divine precepts are blessed beyond measure. The promises to those who live this high calling are great: They become children of God and inherit the Kingdom of Heaven. Furthermore, they receive comfort, satisfaction, mercy, purity, and peace. Though the rewards are great, so are the requirements: spiritual poverty, holy sorrow, meekness, longing for righteousness, a merciful heart, purity, peacemaking, and patient endurance during persecution.The Beatitudes reveal the culmination of God's moral teaching and the highest revelation of the Christian life. To fully appreciate their significance, it is helpful to understand the history of moral revelation. Doing so is more than a history lesson on God's deepening revelation, it also reveals the path for our spiritual journey toward perfection.Morality begins with the Natural Law—the innate understanding of right and wrong written on the human heart. This Law is from God and is often described as living in accord with right reason or common sense. All people have access to this moral law within their own consciences, enabling them to recognize God as the Creator, honor Him, respect human dignity and the common good, and refrain from acts such as murder, theft, and deception. Though universally present in all people, sin and our fallen human nature cloud our ability to clearly see and follow that law.In the Old Testament, God slowly revealed Himself and called His people to greater holiness and moral living by adding to the Natural Law through revelation. From Abraham and his descendants, God raised up Moses through whom He revealed the Ten Commandments—a concise moral code rooted in Natural Law but explicitly revealed by God that called His chosen people to right worship, justice, and love for one's neighbor.Through the prophets—such as Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel—God called Israel to move beyond mere external observance of the law to an interior conversion of heart. Isaiah emphasized the virtues of justice and mercy, Jeremiah prophesied a new covenant in which God's law would be written on the hearts of His people, and Ezekiel promised that God would give His people a new heart and a new spirit, enabling them to follow His statutes.The wisdom literature—Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Wisdom, Sirach—deepened the understanding of moral life by revealing moral gifts, such as the Fear of the Lord, the blessedness of righteousness, and the call to trust in God's providence and live a virtuous life.The Beatitudes elevate all laws of the Old Covenant. Jesus not only calls us to profound holiness, He also provides the means to achieve it through His Sacrifice, transmitted through the grace of the Sacraments. To live the Beatitudes is to live in imitation of Christ, who perfectly embodied all virtues in His life, Passion, and Resurrection. Hence, the Beatitudes are not only a moral code we must follow, they are a participation in and union with the Son of God, Who lived the Beatitudes to perfection.As we ponder the Beatitudes, reflect today on their high and glorious calling, as well as their rewards. Sometimes, reading the Beatitudes can leave us discouraged, as we are aware of how far we are away from perfecting them. Dispel discouragement and know that these new divine precepts are attainable by grace. Set your eyes on the heights of perfection and open yourself to the abundant grace offered. Doing so will not only result in glorious spiritual rewards in this life, it will also result in the greatest eternal rewards in Heaven.Lord of perfection, You lived the Beatitudes to the fullest during Your life on earth and continue to manifest those perfections from Heaven. Please open my heart to Your grace and fill me with Your Holy Spirit, so that I may answer the call to the new and glorious moral state to which I am called. Empower me to live fully immersed in and guided by Your Sacrificial Love. Help me to inspire others to embrace this path of holiness, so that we may journey together toward the eternal joy of Your Kingdom. Jesus, I trust in You!  Image: Église Saint-Martin de Castelnau-d'Estrétefonds, CC BY-SA 4.0, via Wikimedia CommonsSource: Free RSS feed from catholic-daily-reflections.com — Copyright © 2026 My Catholic Life!

La France est inquiète des conséquences de la politique prédatrice américaine dans la Caraïbe. Et la question se pose de savoir si Paris peut compter sur sa présence en Guyane pour peser sur le continent. La Commission des Affaires étrangères de la Défense et des Forces armées du Sénat rendait publique au début du mois de janvier 2026 un rapport de mission. La visée américaine sur le Groenland et l'enlèvement de Nicolas Maduro au Venezuela sont autant de sources d'inquiétudes. Les effets de la doctrine Monroe, invoquée pour justifier la domination des États-Unis dans cet hémisphère et l'émergence de nouveaux États pétroliers aux immenses réserves que sont le Guyana et le Suriname font craindre des risques de déstabilisation, auxquels s'ajoutent le narcotrafic et l'orpaillage illégal. Les territoires français de la Caraïbe -Guadeloupe, Martinique, Saint-Martin, Saint-Barthélémy et Guyane sont aujourd'hui au cœur d'un enjeu géopolitique et sécuritaire d'ampleur. La souveraineté française s'y négocie au quotidien. Invités : Fred Constant, professeur des Universités en Science politique à l'Université des Antilles. Auteur de « Géopolitique des Outre-mer », aux éditions le Cavalier bleu et « Atlas des Outre-mer », aux éditions Autrement Yannick Chenevard, officier supérieur de réserve.

Une journée « ville morte » ce vendredi (23 janvier 2026) dans le Minnesota. Les habitants sont appelés à rester chez eux pour protester contre la présence d'ICE, la police de l'immigration. La colère ne retombe pas dans cette ville du Minnesota, alors que le vice-président américain JD Vance s'y est rendu hier jeudi (22 janvier 2026). Il a appelé à « faire retomber la température », après s'être entretenu avec plusieurs agents d'ICE, mais aussi des entrepreneurs. Les opérations de la police de l'immigration ainsi que les manifestations qui secouent la ville commencent à avoir de sérieux impacts sur l'économie locale. Nous en avons parlé avec Mike Logan, le directeur de la Chambre régionale de commerce de Minneapolis. JD Vance plus conciliant Les journaux, de leur côté, reviennent ce matin sur le discours du vice-président JD Vance à Minnesota. Pour le magazine Politico, JD Vance adopte un ton plus conciliant face au malaise croissant autour des méthodes de l'ICE. Le vice-président a prôné l'empathie à l'égard des manifestants et reconnu que les policiers de l'ICE pouvaient commettre des erreurs. Selon lui, l'essentiel des tensions et des affrontements découlerait de malentendus qui pourraient être dissipés si les élus locaux — et leurs forces de police — coopéraient avec le gouvernement fédéral.  JD Vance a reconnu aussi que les vidéos circulant sur les réseaux sociaux pouvaient inquiéter de nombreux Américains, tout en soulignant qu'elles ne racontaient souvent pas toute l'histoire. D'après Politico, le déplacement de JD Vance à Minneapolis intervient au moment où les républicains peinent à s'accorder sur un message clair pour expliquer les méthodes de l'ICE à une opinion publique qui est de plus en plus anxieuse face à la présence d'agents fédéraux armés qui patrouillent dans les quartiers. Dans une interview au journal conservateur Washington Examiner, JD Vance a déclaré que l'administration Trump sanctionnera policiers qui commettent des erreurs dans l'exercice de leurs fonctions, mais seulement lorsque ces sanctions seront jugées « justifiées ». Jusqu'à présent, en tout cas, la mort de Renee Good, tué par un agent de l'ICE il y a presque 3 semaines, n'a fait objet d'aucune enquête. Haïti, un pays touché par toutes les formes d'insécurité À la violence des gangs armés, s'ajoute une crise alimentaire qui ne cesse de s'aggraver. La situation est alarmante, alerte Rein Paulson, directeur des urgences de la FAO, actuellement en visite à Port-au-Prince. L'agriculture, pourtant pilier de l'économie haïtienne — près de 20% du PIB —, est aujourd'hui à bout de souffle : faible productivité, manque d'intrants, infrastructures défaillantes, et surtout une insécurité persistante à Port-au-Prince, dans le Centre et dans plusieurs autres régions du pays. Résultat : près de 5,9 millions de personnes, soit plus de la moitié de la population, pourraient basculer dans une insécurité alimentaire sévère d'ici la mi-année 2026, sans mesures urgentes. Pour y faire face, la FAO estime avoir besoin de 65 millions de dollars afin de venir en aide aux populations les plus vulnérables. Rein Paulson répond aux questions de notre correspondant à Port-au-Prince, Peterson Luxama. Une famille haïtienne décimée par une attaque aux drones explosifs à Port-au-Prince La presse locale revient sur les civils tués par les opérations anti-gang de la police nationale. À Bel Air, quartier de Port-au-Prince sous contrôle de gangs, une opération policière appuyée par des drones explosifs a coûté la vie à plusieurs membres d'une même famille. C'est à lire dans AyiboPost. Le journal en ligne s'appuie sur le témoigne d'un Haïtien de 28 ans installé aux États-Unis. Il raconte comment sa petite sœur de 13 ans, ses deux frères et son père ont été tués lors d'une explosion de drone le jour même où la famille devait quitter le quartier. Selon des organisations de défense des droits humains citées par Ayibipost, les opérations menées entre le 1er et le 11 janvier à Bel Air, Saint-Martin et La Saline ont fait plus de cinquante morts parmi les civils et provoqué des déplacements massifs de population.

"The holy Hierarch Hilary was born of pagan parents in Gaul, and was trained in philosophy and rhetoric. At a time when paganism was still strong in Gaul, Saint Hilary understood the falsehood of polytheism, and became a Christian, and a great defender of his new Faith. About the year 350 he was ordained Bishop of Poitiers, when Arles and Milan were in the hands of the Arians and the Arian Constantius was sole Emperor. Like his contemporary Saint Athanasius, Saint Hilary's episcopate was one long struggle against the Arians. As Bishop of Poitiers, Saint Hilary foresaw the future greatness of Martin (see Nov. 12), and attached him to himself. In 355, when required to agree to the condemnation of Saint Athanasius by the Council of Milan, Hilary wrote an epistle to Constantius condemning the wrongs done by the Arians and requesting, among other things, the restoration of the Orthodox bishops, including Athanasius. For this, Hilary was banished to Asia Minor, where he wrote his greatest work, On the Trinity. Saint Hilary returned to his see in 360, where Saint Martin sought him out again. It was at this time that Saint Hilary blessed Martin to found a monastery near Poitiers, where Martin remained until being consecrated Bishop of Tours in 371. In his last years, Saint Hilary strove for the deposition of Auxentius, the Arian Bishop of Milan, but by affecting an Orthodox confession Auxentius retained his see. Saint Hilary reposed in peace about the year 368. Auxentius died in 374 and was succeeded by Saint Ambrose, who continued Saint Hilary's battle against Arianism." (Great Horologion, adapted)

A first cruise is a crash course in what you value when you travel. From a lively launch in San Juan to five Caribbean ports in seven days, we share the joy of bioluminescent kayaking, the calm of a French-side beach on Saint Martin, and the green, mountainous bliss of Grenada and Dominica. We also get candid about a tougher moment in Saint Lucia, where constant vendor pressure cut a solo city walk short—and how a simple plan with a vetted driver could have changed the day.We dig into the money side most people underestimate. Solo supplements can double a fare, but there are smart workarounds: Virgin Voyages frequently offers better pricing and social programming for singles; Norwegian and select Royal Caribbean ships have limited studio cabins; Silversea reduces single supplements on some sailings. Beyond the sticker price, budget for gratuities, specialty dining, fitness classes, laundry, Wi‑Fi, and excursions—or pick a more inclusive line to avoid the nickel-and-dime feeling. If you're wondering whether to book excursions at every stop, learn from our missteps: sometimes one well-chosen experience or a simple plan with a trusted local driver beats a packed bus and crowded viewpoints.The real key is matching the cruise to who you are. If big crowds drain you, consider smaller ships or river cruises like AmaWaterways. If sand isn't your happy place, look to Alaska or Scandinavia for fjords, hikes, and cooler air. Traveling with a friend? Set expectations upfront—sleep rhythms, alone time, and activity choices—so the cabin is shared but the day can be flexible. We close by looking ahead to Scandinavia as a better fit for our hiking-first style and invite you to think about your own 2026 plans.If this helped you plan smarter, follow the show, share it with a friend who's cruise-curious, and leave a quick review to tell us where you want to sail next.Support the showhttps://www.cherylbeckesch.com hello@cherylbeckesch.com Instagram @solotraveladventures50

Seeing Others as Christ Sees: The Gospel Call Revealed in Soldiers and Saints I was hungry. You fed me thirsty. You gave me to drink. I was alone, and you were with me. I was naked and you clothed me. This marvelously simple description of the greatness of Christian life. That ability, not so much to see Jesus in each other as to see others as Jesus sees them. Today's Gospel draws from Matthew's teaching on the Final Judgment, . . . . . . where Jesus separates people as a shepherd separates sheep from goats, praising those who cared for “the least of His brothers.” The Homily then focuses on Saint Martin of Tours, a soldier-turned-bishop whose famous act of charity . . . cutting his cloak to clothe a beggar . . . reveals the heart of the Gospel: seeing others as Christ sees them and responding with compassion. Martin's life of disciplined holiness, service, and unwavering focus on Christ is presented as a model of Christian discipleship. Seeing Others as Christ Sees Them The Homily also highlights two American military chaplains whose causes for sainthood are advancing: Father Vincent Capodanno, a Marine chaplain killed in Vietnam after repeatedly risking his life to save wounded soldiers, and Father Emil Kapaun, a Korean War chaplain known for heroic sacrifice, spiritual strength, and care for fellow prisoners of war. Each embodies Christlike service . . . feeding the hungry, comforting the suffering, and valuing every human life. On Veterans Day, the Homily emphasizes that the vocation of a soldier, when lived with compassion and courage, mirrors the Gospel call to serve others. As Christ nourishes and strengthens us in the Eucharist, we are sent forth to care for the hungry, the thirsty, and the vulnerable in our own lives, following the example of these remarkable witnesses.

Every year, around the middle of November, I usually highlight some aspect of the life and work of Saint Martin of Tours. Saint Martin's story is where the origins of our English words, chapel and chaplain come from. His most poignent moment, perhaps, is when he robes a distressed man in the cold of winter. […]

Gospel  Luke 17:7-10 Jesus said to the Apostles: "Who among you would say to your servant who has just come in from plowing or tending sheep in the field, 'Come here immediately and take your place at table'? Would he not rather say to him, 'Prepare something for me to eat. Put on your apron and wait on me while I eat and drink. You may eat and drink when I am finished'? Is he grateful to that servant because he did what was commanded? So should it be with you. When you have done all you have been commanded, say, 'We are unprofitable servants; we have done what we were obliged to do.'" Reflection In this gospel, Jesus continues to reveal to his disciples things that are not in their frame of reference. But Jesus makes it clear that the role that we are given in this world is the role of service. Not being served. The religious people at the time of the disciples were notorious for wanting to be served and not serving. And so Jesus is making it clear, humility is what he wants from us. He wants us to recognize there is nothing greater than being called to serve, and then to carry through with service. It is the greatest role that we have, and it has great dignity and value. Closing Prayer Father, free us from our ego that often looks to make ourselves more than we really are. Give us the humility to simply be a loving, caring, forgiving human being. This is what the Kingdom needs in order to grow, to become, and to come to fulfillment. And we ask this in Jesus' name, Amen. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Join Father Kevin Drew as he preaches on this Memorial of Saint Martin of Tours, Bishop. Today's readings First Reading: Isaiah 61:1-3abcd Psalm: Psalm 89:2-3, 4-5, 21-22, 25 and 27 Gospel: Matthew 25:31-40 Catholic Radio Network

Today, 11 November, is Martinmas, the Feast of Saint Martin of Tours. In Tudor England, it was far more than a saint's day. It marked the great “winter slaughter”, when families across the realm, from manor to cottage, salted and cured their meat to survive the long months ahead. In this video, I explore the man behind the feast, St Martin, the Roman soldier who became a saint after cutting his cloak in half to clothe a beggar, and reveal how faith, food, and survival intertwined in Tudor life. Discover: The story of St Martin of Tours and why 11 November became his feast day How Tudor households prepared for winter by salting meat and preserving food The meaning of old sayings like “His Martinmas will come, as it does to every hog” Why salt was treasured as life itself And how Spain's La Matanza still echoes the traditions that fed the Tudors Martinmas was the Tudor turning point, the end of harvest, the beginning of winter, and a moment of gratitude for what the land and animals provided. #Martinmas #TudorLife #SaintMartin #TudorHistory #MedievalTraditions #HistoryOfFood #FeastDays #TudorEngland #TudorFeast #ClaireRidgway #TheAnneBoleynFiles #TudorCustoms #TudorFarm #HistoryYouTube

Today's Topics: Father Raymond of the Blessed Sacrament joins Terry 1) Gospel - Luke 14:12-14 - On a sabbath Jesus went to dine at the home of one of the leading Pharisees. He said to the host who invited Him, "When you hold a lunch or a dinner, do not invite your friends or your brothers or sisters or your relatives or your wealthy neighbors, in case they may invite you back and you have repayment. Rather, when you hold a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind; blessed indeed will you be because of their inability to repay you. For you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous." Memorial of Saint Martin de Porres, Religious Saint Martin, pray for us!
