In episode 269, Max chats with New Zealand Breakers assistant coach Quinn Clinton! From playing college basketball at Saint Mary's to injuries ending his playing career and becoming a head coach in his mid-20s, Quinn reflects on the journey that has quickly taken him from player to one of New Zealand basketball's rising young coaches. We dive into his time at Saint Mary's, the influence of Randy Bennett, returning home to win a championship with the Canterbury Rams, learning under Judd Flavell and navigating the transition from teammate to head coach. Quinn also takes us inside his return to the New Zealand Breakers, working under World Cup-winning coach Gordon Herbert, the new-look roster and the identity they're building heading into NBL27. Plus, we discuss Parker Jackson-Cartwright, the shooting around him, and why Quinn believes defence and rebounding will ultimately determine how far the Breakers can go this season. All this and much more in episode 269 of Sporting Max! www.instagram.com/sportingmax.podcast/

Homily by Fr. Michael Renninger

In the summer of 2024, about 1,300 people gathered at Saint Mary's College for the premiere of "Behold God's Love," an original Eucharistic musical in three acts: "Root," "Vine," and "Branches." Everyone else missed it. Now the whole world can listen.The full musical is now available as a recorded album, from the manna in the desert, to the Last Supper, to a house church in Corinth. Today, its creator and composer returns to the show to listen to a few tracks with me. We talk about what they reveal, how performing a role becomes a way of dwelling in Scripture, and how listeners can use the music to pray their way back to the Word and the altar.Carolyn Pirtle is Program Director of the Center for Liturgy in the McGrath Institute for Church Life at the University of Notre Dame, and the writer and composer of "Behold God's Love."Follow-up Resources:Behold God's Love album and resources page via McGrath Institute for Church Life“That we might behold,” article by Leonard J.

Parish renewal can look very different when you're no longer talking about it from a diocesan office—but actually living it as a pastor and parish leader. In Episode 231, Ron Huntley sits down with Fr. Peter Wojcik and Marco Oropeza talk about what they have learned through years of pastoral renewal at St. Clement Parish in Chicago—and why those lessons eventually led them to launch Magnified Ministries. If you're a pastor or parish leader wondering how to move from ideas about renewal into the lived reality of parish transformation, this conversation is for you. And if you're ready to take an honest look at your own parish, take the Parish Missional Health Assessment at huntleyleadership.com. In this episode, you'll learn: – Why renewal leaders need to experience transformation themselves, not simply teach a strategy to others. – Why parish transformation moves much more slowly than a strategic plan might suggest, and why that slowness can be valuable. – How listening to a parish community can become the starting point for vision, strategy, and engagement. – How pastors and parish councils can work together without confusing their different responsibilities and authority. – How to create meaningful connection and belonging as a parish grows larger, including the use of smaller communities and trained leaders who listen rather than simply promote programs. – Why parish renewal requires identifying, forming, and releasing lay leaders rather than relying on the pastor to carry every ministry. – Why pastors shouldn't assume they have to build renewal alone. About Fr. Peter Wojcik Fr. Peter Wojcik is pastor of Saint Clement Parish and Pastoral Strategy Leader for the Archdiocese of Chicago. He teaches negotiation and change management at the Quinlan School of Business at Loyola University and serves on the board of Alpha USA and the Vatican's Centesimus Annus pro Pontifice Foundation.

GLP-1 receptor agonists have transformed weight loss and metabolic health—but what are we overlooking? In this episode of New Frontiers in Functional Medicine, Dr. Kara Fitzgerald is joined by Dr. Sanjay Bhojraj and Dr. Alexis Gonzales to explore the clinical tradeoffs of GLP-1 therapy, including lean muscle preservation, nutrient status, weight regain, and long-term metabolic health. The conversation also examines SiPore, an engineered silica-based intervention that works locally in the GI tract to slow the breakdown and absorption of carbohydrates and fats. Dr. Fitzgerald and her guests discuss findings from the randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled SHINE trial, including outcomes related to A1c, visceral fat, waist circumference, cholesterol, and lean mass. They also explore how CGMs can reveal post-meal glucose patterns, why muscle preservation matters during weight loss, and how clinicians can support patients transitioning off GLP-1 medications—including those preparing for pregnancy, IVF, or surgery.

On August 5, the Catholic Church annually celebrates the Optional Memorial of the Dedication of the Basilica of Saint Mary Major, Santa Maria Maggiore, one of the four most illustrious churches of Rome, along with St. John Lateran, St. Peter, and St. Paul Outside the Walls, and Christendom’s first Marian shrine for pilgrims. An annual feast commemorates a miracle of the snowfall that occurred on the site where the Basilica of St. Mary Major now stands. The Virgin Mary had appeared in a dream to two faithful Roman Christians, as well as to Pope Liberius (352-366), asking that a church be built in her honor on the site where snow would fall on the night of August 5th.That’s why another name for the basilica is Our Lady of the Snow, Saint Mary of the Snow, and the feast of today is Our Lady of Snows, la Virgen Blanca, in Spanish. Nowadays, in Rome, during the Pontifical Mass, the traditional shower of flower petals descends from the ceiling of the basilica to commemorate the miraculous snowfall. Pope Francis’ mortal remains are buried in St. Mary Major. He was laid to rest near the icon of Mary Salus Populi Romani, translated to "Health or Salvation or Protectress of the Roman People." The image is a deeply revered ancient tableau purported to have been painted by Saint Luke the Evangelist. Saint Jerome (347–420) is buried at the Basilica, following his death in Bethlehem on September 30, 420 AD. Jerome was s Christian priest and Doctor of the Church best known for translating most of the Bible into Latin, a seminal work known as the Vulgate. He is also the patron saint of translators, librarians, archivists, and biblical scholars.

Forty-two years. Thousands of women. One sacred gathering that has never stopped calling women home to themselves. In this luminous episode of Voices of Wisdom, New World Women co-founder Dawn Morningstar sits down with Jo Abbott — Reiki Master Teacher, Certified Shamanic Reiki and Breathwork Practitioner, Transformational Integration Coach, and Steward of the remarkable 42nd Women and Spirituality Conference — to explore what happens when women gather not just to learn, but to remember. Jo brings a rare and beautiful combination of gifts to her role: two decades as a social worker and firefighter, a deep personal journey of trauma healing through energy medicine and plant medicine, and a heart wide open to the truth that everyone deserves to be healed in a way that feels safe. She holds the lineage of this 42-year-old conference with both reverence for those who came before and electric excitement for where it is going. This year's theme — Together We Rise — arrives at precisely the moment it is most needed. In a world where division and pain can create powerlessness and despair, the Women and Spirituality Conference creates a living, breathing experience of a different way of being: where every woman who walks through the doors on opening ceremony morning knows within moments — these are my people. Where the newest seeker and the most seasoned practitioner each carry a gift the other needs. Where the feminine rises — not over anyone, not instead of anyone — but in a way that lovingly, deliberately brings everyone along. Jo and Dawn also explore the numerology of 42 — reducing to the number six, the symbol of unconditional love, harmony, and the cosmic mother — and why this particular gathering feels like a significant threshold in the conference's long and sacred history. The 42nd Women and Spirituality Conference takes place September 19–20 at Saint Mary's University in Rochester, Minnesota. Space is limited to 180 attendees. Early bird tickets are available now — for women, men, and all gender identities who are open to hearing and honoring the wisdom of the feminine. Visit womenandspirituality.org to register and learn more. We honor the divine feminine, rooted in lived experience, by amplifying women's wisdom and cultivating our sacred community.   Women and Spirituality Conference's website: WomenandSpirituality.org Dawn Morningstar's websites: NewWorldWomen.com and RadiantFace18.com   Produced by New World Women New World Women co-founders Dawn Morningstar (founder of Venerable Women) and Shawn Vougeot (founder of Empowering Women) have created a loving and respectful haven for spiritually-embodied women to remember their power, reclaim their worth and rise together.

fWotD Episode 3342: The Path to Rome Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Monday, 29 June 2026, is The Path to Rome.The Path to Rome is a 1902 travelogue by the French-English author and historian Hilaire Belloc. Belloc recounts his pilgrimage from Toul in northeastern France to Rome after encountering an extraordinary statue of Saint Mary in La Celle-Saint-Cloud, France, where he was born. The work contains his account of events in short vignettes, his thoughts on his travels, and asides about the history and geography of places he visits. Belloc also illustrates landmarks, noteworthy geographical features, and explanatory maps to frame his journey and explain his decisions to the audience. It also contains songs for which Belloc provides sheet music and lyrics.The book is mostly written in a stream-of-consciousness style, containing several conversations between Belloc and an imagined reader (who is invariably combative and confused). The genre has been described as a carnivalesque within the tradition of literary modernism, though it foreshadows the later postmodernist style with its employment of complex literary structures, such as metalepsis, embedded narratives, and defamiliarisation. Although the book is written primarily in English, several passages and pieces of dialogue are in other languages, and language mix-ups and comments about the contemporary linguistic landscape figure prominently.The Path to Rome was Belloc's most financially successful work and established him as a serious author. It is considered among the best in his literary canon and the quintessential example of his travel literature. Contemporary reviews were positive, focusing on Belloc's authenticity, shrewd observations, and sense of humour. Retrospectives have similarly praised the book, with much of the acclaim centring on Belloc's complex narrative structure and the focus on the minutiae of everyday life in the towns he visited. Critics have often compared it positively with the works of François Rabelais and Laurence Sterne. Belloc himself had a warm affection for the work; he later recounted that it was "the only book I ever wrote for love".This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:18 UTC on Monday, 29 June 2026.For the full current version of the article, see The Path to Rome on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Joey.

This week on the podcast, Patrick and Tracy welcome J.P. Lacrampe, author of Valet. About Valet: Cy wants nothing more than to be useful, raise his utility score, and receive the next update for his operating system. But that's easier said than done when he’s tasked with helping his owner's thirty-five-year-old son “get out of his funk.” Grayson is nothing like his go-getter, CEO sister Charlotte. He didn't inherit the family robotics company when their dad passed last year, he doesn't have a master's degree, and he just can't seem to figure out the San Francisco dating scene. He'd rather eat synthesized mozzarella sticks and make pottery at his studio, Kilning Time. When Grayson learns of Charlotte's plan to sell the company to a tech conglomerate, he panics. It's not just the family business at stake, it's all the technology—like Cy—their dad invented over the years. So he does what anyone would do: he steals the flash drive with his father's most important work stored on it and plans a corporate takeover. If only he knew what that meant. To make matters worse, a fellow VALET deserts his owner and asks Cy to help him hightail it out of town, Grayson's first real date—and her dog—keeping showing up at inopportune times, and the behemoth tech company wants this deal closed yesterday. Grayson, Cy, and their trusty golden retriever, Sasha III, must go on the lam until they figure out exactly what to do, and whom to trust. About J.P. Lacrampe: J.P. Lacrampe received his MFA in creative writing from Saint Mary's College. His short fiction has been published by Glimmer Train, McSweeney’s, Instant City, and in Howl: A Collection of the Best Contemporary Dog Wit.

But it took growing to 21 trucks — and nearly losing what mattered — to figure that out. The family started with nothing: one truck, a borrowed belt trailer, and a 1950s pay loader that lost steering every time you let off the throttle. After Matt got let go from John Deere, they accidentally built a four-way ag operation — trucking, manure spreading, farming, and feed commodity trading out of Saint Mary's, Ohio.

Some of the biggest minds may have you thinking a Terminator-like robot is coming for us. For years, fictional works — whether film or literature — have shaped our idea of what artificial intelligence is and how it could impact the human race. But it's not real. An important fact to acknowledge says Teresa Heffernan, a professor who has studied the relationship between AI and fiction for decades. She argues there are lots of reasons to fear artificial intelligence but an android uprising isn't one of them.Heffernan is a professor of English language and literature at Saint Mary's University in Halifax. She delivered the 2026 Wiegand Memorial Foundation Lecture at the Jackman Humanities Institute | University of Toronto.

There is a humility that we speak about. And there is a humility that is given. The first is clean. Understandable. Manageable. The second is devastating. Saint Isaac does not speak of an idea. He speaks of a man who has seen something in himself, not once, but repeatedly, until illusion collapses. “A man who has reached this in truth and not in fancy…” This is the dividing line. Most of what we call humility is still fantasy. A posture. A tone. A self-perception. But true humility is born only when a man has been brought face to face with his own instability, his own powerlessness, his own inability to sustain even the smallest good without God. Not conceptually. Existentially. ⸻ This is why Isaac says that everything begins with the recognition of one's weakness. Not as an idea. But as a state of being. A man comes to see that he cannot hold himself together. He cannot secure his own heart. He cannot even pray without distraction, without resistance, without collapse. And from this recognition, something begins to cry out. Not beautifully. Not eloquently. But desperately. Out of need. Out of poverty. Out of a knowledge that if God does not draw near, he will fall apart. This is the beginning of real prayer. Not devotion. Dependence. ⸻ And yet here is the scandal. God does not always respond as we expect. He draws near . . . yes. But not always by removing the trial. Not always by granting the request. Sometimes He withholds. Not out of indifference, but out of wisdom. Because the very delay becomes the means by which the soul is held near Him. Isaac dares to say that God defers His help so that the man will not depart. So that he will remain in prayer. Remain in need. Remain in proximity. This is not cruelty. It is a love that refuses to let the soul return to self-sufficiency. ⸻ And more troubling still: God permits temptation. Not always. But at times. The assault comes. The fire burns. The instability is exposed again. And the man cries out: Why? Why does God not remove this? Why does He allow this struggle to continue? Isaac answers with a severity we would rather avoid: So that you may learn war. So that you may be instructed. So that you may know. Not in theory, but in experience; that without Him, you are nothing. ⸻ This is where humility is forged. Not in peace. But in exposure. Not in success. But in repeated failure. Not in clarity. But in the confusion of being unable to sustain oneself. The man who does not know this, Isaac says, walks on a razor's edge. He may appear stable. Even virtuous. But he stands near the lion. The demon of pride. Because without the knowledge of one's weakness, the soul inevitably attributes its stability to itself. And this is the beginning of the fall. ⸻ Humility cannot be acquired directly. It cannot be chosen as a virtue. It must be given through conditions that undo the illusion of strength. Through delay. Through struggle. Through temptation. Through the repeated discovery that one is not what one thought. This is why Isaac says that humility is acquired only by humility's own means. Which is to say: By being brought low. By being shown the truth. By having the inner architecture of conceit quietly dismantled. ⸻ And here the most piercing word emerges. Without humility, a man's work is not perfected. Even if it appears good. Even if it appears fruitful. It does not rise above fear. It is not sealed by the Spirit. It remains within the realm of the self. Unstable. Vulnerable. Unfounded. Because only humility forms the foundation that cannot be shaken. A city built on humility stands. A life built on anything else trembles. ⸻ And so we must ask: What if the very things we are trying to escape, the delay, the dryness, the temptation, the instability, are the very means by which God is drawing us near? What if the unanswered prayer is the mercy? What if the struggle that does not cease is the protection? What if the exposure of our weakness is the only way we will ever become real? ⸻ We want relief. God desires communion. We want stability. God gives us Himself. And He will not allow us to possess Him as long as we believe we can stand without Him. ⸻ The widow cries out before the unjust judge. Relentlessly. Without dignity. Without restraint. Because she knows she has no other hope. Isaac places this image before us for a reason. This is the posture of the humble man. Not composed. Not self-contained. But persistent. Needy. Unashamed. Because he has seen the truth. ⸻ In the end, humility is not thinking less of oneself. It is knowing, without illusion, that one cannot live without God. And not merely knowing it, but remaining there. In prayer. In need. In trembling. Afraid not of punishment, but of losing the nearness of God. ⸻ This is the paradox. The man who is weak becomes unshakable. Because his life is no longer founded on himself. But on the One who draws near to the broken. --- Text of chat during the group: 00:01:00 Fr.

Passing the altar, he decided to stay nearby to see who came to pray. The door opened and he frowned as a man walked down the aisle—unshaven, wearing a torn shirt and a worn‑out coat with frayed edges. The man knelt briefly, bowed his head, then left. For several days, always at noon, the same man entered, knelt for a moment, and walked out. The priest, uneasy, began to suspect he might be a thief. One day he stopped him and asked what he was doing. The man explained he worked nearby and had only a short lunch break, so he came to pray. “I only stay a moment,” he said. “The factory is far, so I kneel and say: ‘Lord, I just came again to tell you, Jesus, how happy I am when you free me from my sins. I don't know how to pray well, but I think of you every day. So Jesus, this is Jaime reporting.'” 00:58:49 John ‘Jack': I've recently heard (Ren; in one your older conferences, sorry Father
