Podcasts about st clare

Part 1 of a 4-week Advent series released every Sunday.There's a moment at the beginning of Advent when something in you finally exhales. A small but real sense of relief that you don't have to be fully “ready” to begin again.If you've been carrying more than you want to admit — the anxiety, the uncertainty, the subtle fear that the future is shrinking instead of opening — this episode is where you'll feel held.Welcome to the first week of Advent on the Holy Rebels Podcast, where we make space for grounded spiritual practices, nervous system awareness, and the quiet wisdom of the Christian mystical tradition.This week is all about Hope. Not the kind you manufacture. The kind that returns when your body feels safe enough to imagine possibility again.Nina Hirlaender OFS brings together the deeper spiritual meaning of Advent with what psychology now understands about future orientation, resilience, and the nervous system. St Francis and St Clare of Assisi walk with us as guides, offering a way of living that stays steady even when life feels uncertain.What you'll take away from this episode:the meaning of Advent as “arrival” and why it begins in the darkwhy so many people today feel disconnected from the futurehow hope actually forms — through goals, pathways, and agencywhat Francis and Clare can teach you about trusting the next stepa simple embodied practice to help your system calm and re-openhow to begin Advent with clarity instead of pressureHope isn't a mood. It's a nervous-system shift.It returns slowly, through safety, honesty, and the gentle willingness to soften what's been clenched for too long.Press play to begin the season with space around your heart and steadiness in your body.Send Nina a text message.Support the showRate, Review & Follow“I love Nina and Holy Rebels Podcast.” If that sounds like you, please rate and review my show!

1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be like to ten virgins, who taking their lamps went out to meet the bridegroom and the bride.Tunc simile erit regnum caelorum decem virginibus : quae accipientes lampades suas exierunt obviam sponso et sponsae. 2 And five of them were foolish, and five wise.Quinque autem ex eis erant fatuae, et quinque prudentes : 3 But the five foolish, having taken their lamps, did not take oil with them:sed quinque fatuae, acceptis lampadibus, non sumpserunt oleum secum : 4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with the lamps.prudentes vero acceperunt oleum in vasis suis cum lampadibus. 5 And the bridegroom tarrying, they all slumbered and slept.Moram autem faciente sponso, dormitaverunt omnes et dormierunt. 6 And at midnight there was a cry made: Behold the bridegroom cometh, go ye forth to meet him.Media autem nocte clamor factus est : Ecce sponsus venit, exite obviam ei. 7 Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps.Tunc surrexerunt omnes virgines illae, et ornaverunt lampades suas. 8 And the foolish said to the wise: Give us of your oil, for our lamps are gone out.Fatuae autem sapientibus dixerunt : Date nobis de oleo vestro, quia lampades nostrae extinguuntur. 9 The wise answered, saying: Lest perhaps there be not enough for us and for you, go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.Responderunt prudentes, dicentes : Ne forte non sufficiat nobis, et vobis, ite potius ad vendentes, et emite vobis. 10 Now whilst they went to buy, the bridegroom came: and they that were ready, went in with him to the marriage, and the door was shut.Dum autem irent emere, venit sponsus : et quae paratae erant, intraverunt cum eo ad nuptias, et clausa est janua. 11 But at last come also the other virgins, saying: Lord, Lord, open to us.Novissime vero veniunt et reliquae virgines, dicentes : Domine, domine, aperi nobis. 12 But he answering said: Amen I say to you, I know you not.At ille respondens, ait : Amen dico vobis, nescio vos. 13 Watch ye therefore, because you know not the day nor the hour.Vigilate itaque, quia nescitis diem, neque horam.St Clare of Assisi expressed to St Francis the desire to consecrate herself to God. Together with him, she became the foundress of the Franciscan Nuns of the Second Order "Poor Clares" . She governed her convent for forty-two years, and died A.D. 1253.

Friends of the Rosary,Today, August 11, is the Memorial Day of St. Clare (1194-1253), the sister of St. Francis of Assisi, who her the head of the order of women, the Poor Clares.She established a community of nuns and acted as their superior. Clare was a most perfect follower of Francis of Assisi.The order was devoted to Eucharistic prayer and joyful poverty. Clare was the first woman to practice the life of entire poverty as taught by St. Francis.The Rule of the Order included austere unknown in monasteries of women. They went barefoot, slept on the ground, kept perpetual abstinence, and made poverty the basis of their lives.Clare desired to be the servant of all, in imitation of Christ.She told her sisters, "Do what you want with me. I am yours because my will is no longer my own. I have given it to God."Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

Fr. James Kubicki joins Patrick to discuss Living out Poverty: St Clare of Assisi (3:30) Who was St Care? When does something turn from a need to a want? (19:51) Break 1 (21:52) what does Luke teach us about poverty? (31:24) Email – How specific do we need to be about only having 1 coat? How can we reconcile the fear of Poverty with the path to Joy? Mary - I live in poverty because of an illness. Forced to retire early and go on disability. Very hard to feel afraid all the time and yet focus on higher things. God and scripture study. When you feel afraid about health, financial, that can so easily take over. (40:28) Break 2 (42:02) Vince - Father was talking about trust and how that order of nuns could have had a lot of money. What I wonder is I try to trust but I sometimes worry it might be laziness. I hope it's more that I'm trusting God. Where does trust, but actually doing things you're supposed to do...figuring out that line.

+ Holy Gospel according to Saint Matthew 17: 22 – 27As they were gathering in Galilee, Jesus said to the disciples, “The Son of Man is to be handed over to men, and they will kill him, and He will be raised on the third day.” And they were overwhelmed with grief.When they came to Capernaum, the collectors of the temple tax approached Peter and said, “Doesn't your teacher pay the temple tax?” “Yes,” he said. When he came into the house, before he had time to speak, Jesus asked him, “What is your opinion, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth take tolls or census tax? From their subjects or from foreigners?” When he said, “From foreigners,” Jesus said to him, “Then the subjects are exempt. But that we may not offend them, go to the sea, drop in a hook, and take the first fish that comes up. Open its mouth and you will find a coin worth twice the temple tax. Give that to them for me and for you.”The Gospel of the Lord.

O bride of Christ whose poverty matched His own, whose humility made Him known, whose love indeed approached His throne and the embrace of His holy arms – pray all souls will gaze into the mirror that is our Lord born in a manger, dead upon a Cross, risen unto Heaven. Pray we shall be driven on through the death we all must die, through His marvelous poverty, His wondrous humility, to the indescribable delights of those who remain at His side. O that we might be poor as you were poor, as He is poor for the sake of every soul, that we might come to embrace His blessed sacrifice and so know the glories of His kingdom.

T's segment "Italy's Shrines and Wonders" includes tips for tourists, and revisiting an interview with Dr. Michael Fonseca about the fruits of Our Lady's Spiritual Healing Center.

In this powerful and deeply important episode, we shed light on an often overlooked issue: eating disorders in men. While conditions like anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating disorder are frequently associated with women, men suffer too — often in silence, hidden by stigma and misunderstanding. We dive into the real experiences behind these struggles, emphasizing that there is a person behind every illness, battling serious physical and mental health challenges that, in severe cases, can lead to suicidal thoughts.Joining us first is Conor Nolan, a mental health advocate from Blacklion and former student of St Clare's Comprehensive School, Manorhamilton. Conor shares his personal story of developing anorexia at just 12 years old.Conor opens up about how the illness “crept” into his life during early secondary school years.He reflects on feeling "helpless" and "possessed" by his disorder and the long, private road to recovery while trying to maintain a "normal" appearance to the outside world.His book, "Normal", offers personal insights and advice for teenagers, parents, siblings, and friends to better understand and recognize eating disorders early.Today, Conor co-runs the Normal - Mental Wellbeing Project, proudly co-funded by the European Commission, helping young people across Ireland.You can find Conor's book "Normal" on Amazon and in local Irish bookstores.We then welcome Sean Blake, a married father of four from Dublin, who bravely shares his journey of mental health struggles from childhood into adulthood, culminating in his diagnosis of Anorexia Nervosa coming into his 30s.Sean discusses the challenges of facing an eating disorder later in life and how being open about his story is helping him heal while hopefully inspiring others.Sean is actively involved in mental health advocacy through Shine, Bodywhys, and St Patrick's Mental Health Services, and he featured in the RTE documentary "Anorexia: My Family & Me."Closing Thoughts:Eating disorders are not just physical illnesses — they are deeply rooted in mental health. They do not discriminate by gender, age, or background.We hope today's conversations with Conor and Sean shine a light on the hidden struggles many endure and encourage listeners to seek help if they need it or to better support those around them.If you or someone you know is affected, please reach out for help:www.shine.ie – Confidential support for mental health recovery.
