Preaching for Palm Sunday, Anne Arabome, SSS offers a reflection on what makes Holy Week holy: "The holiness of Holy Week is in our story, writ large in the passion and triumph of Jesus of Nazareth. This week calls us to focus our gaze on Jesus and to follow him closely along the way. If we do so, we discover an immense treasure: a life of total self-giving that trumps selfishness; a gift of self-sacrificing love for the weakest and most vulnerable among us; a fullness of life that neither death nor despair can threaten, steal, or destroy."Sister Anne Arabome, SSS, is a member of the Sisters of Social Service in Los Angeles, California. She has served as the Associate Director of the Faber Center for Ignatian Spirituality at Marquette University and recently founded the Sophia Institute for Theological Studies and Spiritual Formation in Namibia. She holds a PhD in Systematic Theology from the University of Roehampton, UK, and a Doctor of Ministry in Spirituality from Catholic Theological Union in Chicago.Visit www.catholicwomenpreach.org/preaching/04132025 to learn more about Anne, to read her preaching text, and for more preaching from Catholic women.

Send us a text by clicking this link!This episode first aired a little over 2 years ago.Eric Sammons joins us for an enlightening conversation about faith, family, and tradition. Offering wisdom from his book "The Jesse Tree," co-authored with his wife, Eric provides a unique perspective on how to engage children in the beauty of salvation history using typology. This approach enriches family faith practices and ensures that faith traditions are effectively passed down to the next generation. Published by Sophia Institute, the new edition of their book promises even greater insights. Our discussion is sprinkled with humor and heartwarming personal stories, making this episode a rich tapestry of Catholic life during the Advent and Christmas seasons.We also explore the nuances of family traditions, from quirky tales about Christmas stockings to the intricate balancing act between holiday celebrations and personal beliefs. Revel in our anecdotes about St. Nick's Day and St. Lucy's Day, and laugh with us over our attempts to navigate the complexities of Amazon's pricing system. The episode also delves into the spiritual aspects of fasting during Advent and Lent, drawing wisdom from the old Divine Office and the Church Fathers, highlighting how these practices foster spiritual growth and community engagement.With a reflection on the value of focusing on local parish life rather than being swept up in global Church news, this episode champions the importance of community-led faith experiences. Our journey through cherished family traditions and holiday memories—complete with hidden baby Jesus figures and thoughtful approaches to Santa Claus—illustrates the profound influence of faith and tradition. Join us as we celebrate the power of storytelling in nurturing a fulfilling, traditional Catholic lifestyle.Support the show********************************************************https://www.avoidingbabylon.comMerchandise: https://shop.avoidingbabylon.comLocals Community: https://avoidingbabylon.locals.comRSS Feed for Podcast Apps: https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/1987412.rssSpiritusTV: https://spiritustv.com/@avoidingbabylonOdysee: https://odysee.com/@AvoidingBabylon

Christ, Science, and Reason: What We Can Know about Jesus, Mary, and Miracles. Our presentersChrist, Science, and Reason: What We Can Know about Jesus, Mary, and MiraclesFr. Robert J. Spitzer, SJ, PhDFather Robert J. Spitzer, S.J., Ph.D. is President of the Spitzer-Magis Center of Reason and Faith (www.magiscenter.com). He was President of Gonzaga University from 1998 to 2009. He is the author of fifteen books, including the award-winning New Proofs for the Existence of God, and most recently, Science, Reason, and Faith: Discovering the Bible. Father Spitzer has his own EWTN weekly television show called Father Spitzer's Universe. He has appeared on the Larry King Show (debating Stephen Hawking), the History Channel, the Today Show, and PBS. Father Spitzer has partnered with Sophia Institute in publishing apologetics courses for middle and high school students, arming them with contemporary science-based evidence of the complementarity of faith and science.AbstractFather Robert Spitzer, S.J., closely examines the scientific evidence for: The Passion and Resurrection of Jesus from the Shroud of Turin The Real Presence of Jesus in the Holy Eucharist from three recent scientifically investigated Eucharistic miracles The supernatural dimensions of the apparitions of Mary manifest in the Tilma of Guadalupe, the Miracle of the Sun at Fatima, and many healing miracles connected with the Grotto of Lourdes. This work also presents a summary of contemporary historical and exegetical evidence for the historicity, Passion, and Resurrection of Jesus, and concludes with a consideration of the Catholic Church and science—particularly the Church's contributions to science, the complementarity of science and the Bible, and the complementarity of physical evolution and the creation of a soul. The book makes clear that the Catholic Church is not anti-science, but quite the opposite—it is one of the most scientifically aware religious denominations in the world. It will also be clear that science is not anti-God, anti-Christ, or anti-religious. On the contrary, its tools and methods give considerable credible evidence for all of them.The Importance of Fr. Spitzer's Christ, Science, and ReasonThomas P. Sheahen, PhD Dr. Thomas P. Sheahen, director emeritus of ITEST, earned BS and PhD degrees in physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. During his 45-year career as a research physicist, predominantly in energy sciences, he worked for various industrial and national laboratories. In the 1990s, Sheahen wrote the textbook Introduction to High-Temperature Superconductivity. More recently, he wrote the book Everywhen: God, Symmetry and Time, which stands at the intersection of faith and science, and explains how mankind's limited capabilities have led to a deficient and weak perception of God.AbstractLong ago it was recognized that, outside of mathematics, no one can prove a proposition. The nearest thing to a proof is to assemble evidence which is strongly convincing and then draw the most reasonable and responsible conclusion. This was termed an “informal inference” by Cardinal Newman in the 19th century. With this book, Fr. Spitzer has examined a number of miraculous events over many centuries and has provided the detailed evidence necessary to draw the reasonable and responsible conclusion that they are truly supernatural occurrences. He devotes attention to the scientific instruments and techniques used to research these miracles, and therefore, the attentive reader is much better able to counter the superficial dismissive arguments put forth by atheists and secularists. For example, in 1988 a carbon-dating measurement seemed to indicate that the Shroud of Turin was of medieval origin, which delighted the atheists. Father Spitzer looked carefully at many other kinds of experimental evidence that has been found in more recent decades, and he demonstrates why the 1988 measurement was incorrect. In reality, the shroud dates from the first century AD. Similarly, Fr. Spitzer takes on the critics of the Tilma of Juan Diego in the 16th century, the Miracle of the Sun at Fatima in the 20th century, and several Eucharistic miracles in the modern age where scientific evidence shows that there is NO naturalistic explanation. In all cases, what differentiates this book from other authors is Fr. Spitzer's commitment to following the Scientific Method to test each hypothesis and his excellent knowledge of both the capability and the limitations of science. Consequently, “Christ, Science, and Reason” is a major contribution to our understanding of miracles and gives the reader great confidence that the asserted claims of the Catholic Church are the most reasonable and responsible position to hold. Once again, Newman's “informal inference” is that Catholicism is verified by these miracles.

In today's episode, I welcome back Danny Fitzpatrick to discuss his new book released by Sophia Institute, titled "Restoring the Lord's Day: How Reclaiming Sunday Can Revive Our Human Nature."  We discuss the importance of the Sabbath, how it is crucial for restoring our human nature, and how culture has shifted away from recognizing its significance. We also talk at length about the surprising ways Acedia (slothfulness) manifests in our lives and how it leads to a sadness about Divine goods. We end the episode by offering practical ways of reclaiming the Sabbath in your life and family. This episode is a call to integrate these principles into daily life, while emphasizing the transformative power of dedicating time to God, especially on Sundays. Have thoughts about this episode?

What You Need to Know is about the systematic effort to undermine our institutions. The media is reporting breathlessly on the danger of Clarence Thomas. They claim we're headed toward a cataclysmic “red judges vs. blue governors,” but the reality is it's been exactly the opposite for 30 years. The left ruled by judicial supremacy for decades, but now they're beating the drum of war as our judiciary swings back into their proper role. Hypocrisy! The Narrative Machine is telling people it's acceptable to have a preference on the law when you don't agree with it. Lawlessness is the goal when they don't have power.  Bill Donahue, author and President of the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights, talks about his new book War on Virtue: How the Ruling Class is Killing the American Dream. Also, have we lost major cities in the United States or can they be brought back?

What You Need to Know is debunking two major election talking points. First, there's a narrative that the post Dobbs / Roe decision world has been cataclysmic for conservatives. That's simply a lie made to shut us up! Evidence shows the opposite. Second, we are told that you have to embrace/participate in early voting if you have any hope to compete. That's also a lie just to get us to compromise on a single voting day. Don't buy the narrative lies! Jordan Burke, of the Sophia Institute Press, talks about the real story of Fr.

Your heart is calling to you now, and has been your whole life. When you tune in and listen to the callings of your heart, blessings follow. In this episode, Carolyn Rivers, founder and director of The Sophia Institute teaches how you can identify your own heart callings. Carolyn and Matt dive deep into the wisdom of the heart and how you can cultivate your heart's yearnings. Here are some power takeaways from today's conversation: How everything is sourced by love How a book sparked Carolyn's aha moment The more we follow our heart callings, the louder they get Ways to feed your soul Listening to what your heart is telling you [05:57] Following Your Heart Callings His Holiness, the Dalai Lama teaches that the mind is in the heart, not in the brain. The brain works with the heart but the wisdom of the heart is what's most important. The heart holds joy, and it holds love and wisdom. Scientists are now teaching us that even the cosmos itself is sourced by love. There's a feeling in our body when something is meant for us. The more we follow our heart callings, the louder they get and they lead us. Follow the threads of guidance that come through to you and you will always get enough. But you have to take things step by step. [19:10] A Balance Between Your Heart and Your Logic The heart is your starting place. Then you turn to logic and reason because that's how flow actually works. Both are needed, not just one. So you need to develop both within yourself. And as you do that, you become stronger, wiser, clearer, and more focused. You don't want either side to be dominant, so you have to choose both in partnership. [21:18] Listening to Your Heart You can feel love in your body. You can feel how every cell in your body tingles with energy when you've got that love sourcing through you. It's not just about romantic love, but about loving what you're doing. When you're in that flow of writing, or whatever it is you're doing, there's a lot of love that pours into yourself. When you listen to your heart, you can hear answers. It's not a thundering voice but it's the knowledge that rises up within you. Notable quotes: [04:49] There can be additional callings, usually related to the primary first calling that got you into callings. But yes, it's not just one calling in one lifetime. [05:00] [06:43] Scientists are now teaching us that even the cosmos and cosmology, the cosmos itself has love, is sourced by love. [06:52] [19:10] Your heart is your starting place.

Hello everyone! Thanks a lot for tuning in for another podcast episode on Sapien's Playground. Today I had Steven Jonathan Rummelsburg as my special guest and it is hard to overstate how great of an honor it is to have him on the show in order to help me and all of us figure out better ways to look at the complicated world around us. Steven Jonathan Rummelsburg holds a degree in History from the University of California, Santa Barbara. A school teacher, he is also a writer and speaker on matters of faith, culture, and education. Mr. Rummelsburg is a member of the Teacher Advisory Board and writer of curriculum at the Sophia Institute for Teachers, a contributor to the Integrated Catholic Life, Crisis Magazine, The Civilized Reader, The Standard Bearers, Catholic Exchange, and a founding member of the Brinklings Literary Club. Following these areas of interest, our conversation focused on questions concerning religious matters and how authentic education, or the lack thereof, is to be viewed as a major contributor to the emergence of wide, diverse and peculiar sets of issues, some of which we managed to discuss in great detail. An attempt to conceptualize the existence of free will, questions surrounding the controversies around abortion, absolute and relative morality, the marxist doctrine and equality of outcome, as well the endeavor to articulate ways to conceptualize God were some of the highly interesting ideas that we managed to introduce.

Feminine Courage: Meghan Don What does it mean to have courage? And why specifically call it feminine? Looking at the origin of the word 'courage,' we are returned to the medieval era where it was associated with, and known to be, the very seat or place of the feelings, that is, the heart. In contemporary times courage has been defined as the "mental or moral strength to venture, persevere, and withstand danger, fear, or difficulty." (Merriam-Webster Dictionary) Surely there is no greater human ability that is called for right now? The seven faces of the Divine Feminine: the light and dark aspects of the Daughter, Mother, and Crone, as well as the enlightened being of one's true nature. Using reflections, prayers, meditations, and ancient chants, Feminine Courage helps you heal your spirit, find liberation, and trust your inner soul voice and vision. No matter your spiritual beliefs, you can access each divine face and gain empowerment from this guide's exploration of powerful, sacred women, including Mary Magdalene, Lilith, the Black Madonna, and Teresa of Avila. Rev. Meghan Don is an award-winning author, evolutionary mystic, retreat presenter and spiritual mentor. Her work raises the feminine confidence in women and feminine consciousness in men. She has been described as “THE VOICE” in showing humanity how to integrate the feminine aspect in our lives. Rev. Meghan has taught at Omega Institute, Esalen Institute, The Sophia Institute, and new-thought churches. Her books are Feminine Courage: Remembering Your Voice and Vision Through a Retelling of Our Myths and Inner Stories; Sacred Companions Sacred Community: Reflections with Clare of Assisi; and Meditations with Teresa of Avila: A Journey into the Sacred, which won the Ashton Wylie/New Zealand Book Council Award for best book and author. Rev. Meghan was born in New Zealand, lived over twenty years in the United States, and is now living in Ireland, having been called back to the land of her Ancestors. https://www.meghandon.life/ Learn more about Simran here: www.iamsimran.com www.1111mag.com/
