Heute geht es richtig zur Sache. Erik Schlicksbier und ich sprechen über Schärfe oder halt auch nicht scharfe Bilder. Was hinter der Idee des "Nicht-scharfen" steckt erfahrt Ihr, wenn Ihr reinhört. Grüße gehen raus an die Sporttrainerkollegen in Sigmaringen und an alle die Royal T.S. hören und... an alle die mich kennen:-D Erik Schlicksbier https://www.instagram.com/schlicksbier?igsh=bmNjaDl1NXE2eWtu Studio.Kreativkommune https://www.instagram.com/studiokreativkommune?igsh=MXhpOWowY3J2MzYycg== Homepage vom Erik https://www.schlicksbier.com

In dieser Folge tauchen wir ein in die Welt der wortgewaltigen Prediger der Barockzeit, die durch ihre kraftvollen Reden die Menschen ihrer Zeit nachhaltig geprägt haben. Ohne Strom und Internet waren es Persönlichkeiten wie der Heilige Fidelis von Sigmaringen und Abraham-a-Sancta-Clara aus Kreenheinstetten, die mit Leidenschaft und Authentizität Meinungen formten, Werte vermittelten und den Glauben stärkten – die Influencer ihrer Epoche! Themen dieser Folge: • Die zentrale Rolle von Predigern in der Barockzeit: Wie sie Menschen begeisterten und beeinflussten. • Wir stellen die Frage, warum die Botschaften der Barockprediger auch heute noch inspirieren können. • Wir besuchen die Pfarrkirche St. Johann in Sigmaringen und sprechen mit Pastoralreferent Hermann Brodmann über den Heiligen Fidelis. • Wir geben spannende Einblicke in das Leben von Abraham-a-Sancta-Clara – Bestsellerautor und humorvoller Prediger aus Kreenheinstetten, vorgestellt von Birgit Riester in der Abraham-a-Sancta-Clara Gedenkstätte in Kreenheinstetten.

In dieser Folge tauchen wir in die grüne Lunge unserer Region ein, die Wälder in Oberschwaben-Allgäu. Wir treffen auf Menschen, die hier arbeiten, die Natur beschützen und diese unseren Gästen und Einheimischen näher bringen. Wer könnte besser über Walderlebnisse in Oberschwaben-Allgäu berichten, als ein Ranger und eine Naturführerin? In Folge 16 erfahren wir mehr über die Möglichkeiten Kraft im Wald zu tanken und den Wald als Gesundheitsoase und Geschichtenerzähler kennenzulernen. Denn was viele nicht wissen, Baden-Württemberg gehört nach Hessen, Rheinland-Pfalz und dem Saarland mit knapp 38 % Waldfläche zu den bewaldetsten Bundesländern in Deutschland. Und auch hier in Oberschwaben-Allgäu gibt es große Waldgebiete, z. B. den Altdorfer Wald, das größte zusammenhängende Waldgebiet in Oberschwaben, die Adelegg im Württembergischen Allgäu mit ihren teils noch unberührten Waldstücken und auch die großen Waldflächen rund um Sigmaringen. Dort ist Gerlinde Gruber Naturführerin und Bewegungstherapeutin und erzählt unserem Moderator Thomas Strobel, was die Natur für die Menschen bedeutet, was sie mit ihnen macht und warum sich ein Urlaub bei uns in Oberschwaben nach Tiefenentspannung anfühlt, wenn man mit offenen Augen die Natur entdeckt. Und mit Ranger Tobias Boneberger erkunden wir die Adelegg, einen subalpinen, bewaldeten Gebirgszug am äußersten Rand von Oberschwaben-Alläu. Viel Spaß beim Reinhören!

I am the true vine; and my Father is the husbandman.Ego sum vitis vera, et Pater meus agricola est.  2 Every branch in me, that beareth not fruit, he will take away: and every one that beareth fruit, he will purge it, that it may bring forth more fruit.Omnem palmitem in me non ferentem fructum, tollet eum, et omnem qui fert fructum, purgabit eum, ut fructum plus afferat.  3 Now you are clean by reason of the word, which I have spoken to you.Jam vos mundi estis propter sermonem quem locutus sum vobis.  4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abide in the vine, so neither can you, unless you abide in me.Manete in me, et ego in vobis. Sicut palmes non potest fere fructum a semetipso, nisi manserit in vite, sic nec vos, nisi in me manseritis.  5 I am the vine: you the branches: he that abideth in me, and I in him, the same beareth much fruit: for without me you can do nothing.Ego sum vitis, vos palmites : qui manet in me, et ego in eo, hic fert fructum multum, quia sine me nihil potestis facere.  6 If any one abide not in me, he shall be cast forth as a branch, and shall wither, and they shall gather him up, and cast him into the fire, and he burneth.Si quis in me non manserit, mittetur foras sicut palmes, et arescet, et colligent eum, et in ignem mittent, et ardet.  7 If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, you shall ask whatever you will, and it shall be done unto you.Si manseritis in me, et verba mea in vobis manserint, quodcumque volueritis petetis, et fiet vobis. St Fidelis was at first the "Advocate of the poor", He then entered the Order of the Friar Minors, preached the Word of God, and was stabbed to death by Protestant soldiers A.D. 1622.

Today's Topics: 1, 2, 3, 4) Gospel - Jn 6:22-29 - (After Jesus had fed the five thousand men, His disciples saw Him walking on the sea.) The next day, the crowd that remained across the sea saw that there had been only one boat there, and that Jesus had not gone along with His disciples in the boat, but only His disciples had left. Other boats came from Tiberias near the place where they had eaten the bread when the Lord gave thanks. When the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor His disciples were there, they themselves got into boats and came to Capernaum looking for Jesus. And when they found Him across the sea they said to Him, "Rabbi, when did You get here?" Jesus answered them and said, "Amen, amen, I say to you, you are looking for Me not because you saw signs but because you ate the loaves and were filled. Do not work for food that perishes but for the food that endures for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For on Him the Father, God, has set his seal." So they said to Him, "What can we do to accomplish the works of God?" Jesus answered and said to them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in the One He sent."

April 24: Saint Fidelis of Sigmaringen, Priest and Martyr 1577–1622 Optional Memorial; Liturgical Color: Red Patron Saint of lawyers & the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples His murderers cut a leg off his dead body in retaliation for his many journeys To understand the historical and religious context for today's saint, consider an event that took place fifty years before he was born. On January 5, 1527, in Zurich, Switzerland, a young man named Felix Mantz was taken hold of by local officials, had his hands and feet bound to a pole, and was rowed out in a boat to the deepest part of the local river. With a large crowd watching from the shores, he was tossed overboard into the dark water and immediately drowned to death. Felix Mantz's crime? He believed only adults should be baptized, not children. Mantz was not killed by the Inquisition, the Pope, the local Bishop, or a Catholic mob. His cruel drowning, which mocked his views on baptism, was perpetrated by dissenting Protestants. The Protestants of Zurich believed in infant baptism while rejecting all other Catholic beliefs. And they allowed absolutely no dissenting from their own dissenting from Catholicism. Felix Mantz was the first Protestant martyred by other Protestants. Heretics killing other heretics for not conforming to their heresy captures the chaos, intellectual dissonance, and cultural confusion in some regions of sixteenth and seventeenth century Europe. This total meltdown is known as the Reformation. Today's saint, Fidelis of Sigmaringen, walked right into this still-raging storm of violence in the early seventeenth century, suffering a fate essentially similar to the Protestant martyr Felix Mantz, though for exactly contrary reasons. Its very existence challenged by Protestantism, Counter-Reformation Catholicism swelled like a great ocean, lifting up a sea of scholars, monks, abbots, nuns, priests, and bishops who overwhelmed Europe with their teaching and witness to the perennial truths of Jesus Christ. Saint Fidelis was just one priest-monk among that great tide of the Counter-Reformation, but he was one who became a martyr. He was born as Mark Roy in the town of Sigmaringen in Prussia, in Northern Germany, and raised in the Faith. He earned a doctorate in philosophy in 1603 and degrees in civil and canon law in 1611, yet he became disillusioned with his career in law. He had always been an exceptionally ardent Catholic, so he entered the Capuchin Order and was ordained a priest in his thirties. He took the religious name of “faithful”—in Latin, “Fidelis.” Fidelis was intelligent, disciplined, and ascetic. His abundant human and spiritual gifts were amplified and sharpened when put in the service of the King of Kings, and he rose to important positions of leadership within the Capuchin Order. Having become locally well known for his fervor and holiness, Father Fidelis was appointed by the Congregation for the Propagation of the Faith in Rome to preach, teach, and write in present day Switzerland, with the goal of exhorting the people to return to the embrace of the Mother Church which had given them birth. Father Fidelis desired martyrdom, and it came for him soon enough. In Switzerland, his zeal and example brought some prominent Calvinists back to the true Faith. This made him an official enemy of the Calvinists who controlled much of that land. One day, when traveling between two towns where he was preaching and saying Mass, Fidelis was confronted along the road by Calvinist soldiers led by a minister. Fidelis had recently caused an uproar in a nearby town and had barely escaped with his life. The soldiers knew exactly who was before them. They demanded that he abandon his Faith. Fidelis answered, "I was sent to rebuke you, not to embrace your heresy. The Catholic religion is the faith of all ages, I do not fear death." His skull was then cracked open with the butt of a sword, his body punctured with stabs, and his left leg hacked off in retribution for the numerous journeys he had made into Protestant territory. Saint Fidelis died at the age of forty-five, ten years after entering religious life. He was canonized in 1746. Over three hundred miracles were attributed to his intercession during his canonization process. Saint Fidelis was faithful in life and continues to intercede faithfully in death. Saint Fidelis, through your intercession before the throne of God, we ask you to fortify all teachers and preachers of the faith to remain faithful to the truth, even to the point of embarrassment, inconvenience, suffering, and death to self.

This evening we picked up with Step 4 on Obedience. Saint John puts it before us in an unvarnished fashion. It is hard work. It offers us great freedom; freedom from all of our concerns about the things of the world, daily circumstances, or what others do or say to us. Yet, it is a rough way because it means letting go of our own will, self-judgment and opinion. We freely give these things over to another who becomes our “helmsman”.  The helmsman becomes our “nous” - the eye of the heart - while we lack that purity of heart.  One does not choose to live in obedience indiscriminately, Saint John tells us. Rather, we must make sure that we embrace obedience and give our judgment over to one who can truly guide us along the path that leads to the kingdom. Otherwise, Saint John tells us, we should get no profit from our subjection. For this reason we must write the good deeds of our elder on our hearts and constantly remember them. For once we have chosen to live in obedience, either under an elder or within our particular vocation in life and to our particular vows, we are inevitably going to be attacked by the evil one who desires to make us distrust our elder.  Obedience is of the greatest value because in humbling the mind in the body it frees us from all the things that stir the passions within us. Obedience is not meant to be a form of oppression or of infantilizing others. An elder is to embrace his disciple with the greatest love and desire for his well-being. For in the end he will be held responsible for the one God has placed in his care. --- Text of chat during the group:  00:11:14 FrDavid Abernethy: page 69 n.4   00:11:19 FrDavid Abernethy: On obedience   00:17:13 Fr.

April 24: Saint Fidelis of Sigmaringen, Priest and Martyr1577–1622Optional Memorial; Liturgical Color: RedPatron Saint of lawyers & the Congregation for the Evangelization of PeoplesHis murderers cut a leg off his dead body in retaliation for his many journeysTo understand the historical and religious context for today's saint, consider an event that took place fifty years before he was born. On January 5, 1527, in Zurich, Switzerland, a young man named Felix Mantz was taken hold of by local officials, had his hands and feet bound to a pole, and was rowed out in a boat to the deepest part of the local river. With a large crowd watching from the shores, he was tossed overboard into the dark water and immediately drowned to death. Felix Mantz's crime? He believed only adults should be baptized, not children. Mantz was not killed by the Inquisition, the Pope, the local Bishop, or a Catholic mob. His cruel drowning, which mocked his views on baptism, was perpetrated by dissenting Protestants.The Protestants of Zurich believed in infant baptism while rejecting all other Catholic beliefs. And they allowed absolutely no dissenting from their own dissenting from Catholicism. Felix Mantz was the first Protestant martyred by other Protestants. Heretics killing other heretics for not conforming to their heresy captures the chaos, intellectual dissonance, and cultural confusion in some regions of sixteenth and seventeenth century Europe. This total meltdown is known as the Reformation. Today's saint, Fidelis of Sigmaringen, walked right into this still-raging storm of violence in the early seventeenth century, suffering a fate essentially similar to the Protestant martyr Felix Mantz, though for exactly contrary reasons.Its very existence challenged by Protestantism, Counter-Reformation Catholicism swelled like a great ocean, lifting up a sea of scholars, monks, abbots, nuns, priests, and bishops who overwhelmed Europe with their teaching and witness to the perennial truths of Jesus Christ. Saint Fidelis was just one priest-monk among that great tide of the Counter-Reformation, but he was one who became a martyr. He was born as Mark Roy in the town of Sigmaringen in Prussia, in Northern Germany, and raised in the Faith. He earned a doctorate in philosophy in 1603 and degrees in civil and canon law in 1611, yet he became disillusioned with his career in law. He had always been an exceptionally ardent Catholic, so he entered the Capuchin Order and was ordained a priest in his thirties. He took the religious name of “faithful”—in Latin, “Fidelis.” Fidelis was intelligent, disciplined, and ascetic. His abundant human and spiritual gifts were amplified and sharpened when put in the service of the King of Kings, and he rose to important positions of leadership within the Capuchin Order.Having become locally well known for his fervor and holiness, Father Fidelis was appointed by the Congregation for the Propagation of the Faith in Rome to preach, teach, and write in present day Switzerland, with the goal of exhorting the people to return to the embrace of the Mother Church which had given them birth. Father Fidelis desired martyrdom, and it came for him soon enough. In Switzerland, his zeal and example brought some prominent Calvinists back to the true Faith. This made him an official enemy of the Calvinists who controlled much of that land. One day, when traveling between two towns where he was preaching and saying Mass, Fidelis was confronted along the road by Calvinist soldiers led by a minister. Fidelis had recently caused an uproar in a nearby town and had barely escaped with his life. The soldiers knew exactly who was before them. They demanded that he abandon his Faith. Fidelis answered, "I was sent to rebuke you, not to embrace your heresy. The Catholic religion is the faith of all ages, I do not fear death." His skull was then cracked open with the butt of a sword, his body punctured with stabs, and his left leg hacked off in retribution for the numerous journeys he had made into Protestant territory. Saint Fidelis died at the age of forty-five, ten years after entering religious life. He was canonized in 1746. Over three hundred miracles were attributed to his intercession during his canonization process. Saint Fidelis was faithful in life and continues to intercede faithfully in death.Saint Fidelis, through your intercession before the throne of God, we ask you to fortify all teachers and preachers of the faith to remain faithful to the truth, even to the point of embarrassment, inconvenience, suffering, and death to self.

Ob gut erhaltene keltische Befestigungen wie im Kreis Biberach bei Langenenslingen oder das unversehrte Grab einer Keltenfürstin bei Sigmaringen, Archäologen im Land stoßen immer wieder auf sensationelle Funde. Beim Umpflügen eines Maisackers war zunächst ein Kindergrab entdeckt worden. Später wurde das Grab einer vor 2600 Jahren bestatteten Fürstin komplett geborgen. Im Landesamt für Denkmalpflege in Ludwigsburg wird der 80 Tonnen schwere "Keltenblock" seither zerlegt und erforscht. Prof. Dirk Krausse leitet die Ausgrabungen und Forschungen rund um die Heuneburg, die als eine der bekanntesten Fundstellen aus keltischer Zeit in Mitteleuropa gilt. Für Interessierte entstanden Freilichtmuseum und Heuneburg-Rundwanderweg genauso wie 3D-Rekonstruktionen der Funde. Auch auf Instagram lässt sich das Geschehen rund um die "Keltenstadt" verfolgen. In SWR1 Leute berichtet Prof. Dirk Krausse über die sensationellen archäologischen Funde Baden-Württembergs. Moderation: Nicole Köster

He was a lawyer who left his practice after being scandalized by the corruption in the legal system. His preaching was so good, that his opponents came to listen to him. He defended the Church's teaching that Jesus died for everyone, not just a select few. Who is he?
