Friends of the Rosary,Today, January 24, is the feast day of Francis of Sales, a sixteenth-century French saint.As a young man, he became profoundly disturbed when contemplating the possibility of his soul spending eternity in hell.After weeks of barely eating and sleeping, he finally prayed before a miraculous image of the Blessed Virgin Mary, entrusting his life entirely to God's merciful love. This experience formed the basis of his pastoral work as a bishop in post-Reformation Geneva and inspired his influential writings.His masterly Treatise on the Love of God influenced Saint Thérèse of Lisieux and Saint John Bosco.

Many of us move through our days without noticing what is closest to us. In this episode, Fr Columba reflects on a quiet but profound truth: the sacred is often ignored not because it is absent, but because we have forgotten how to see. Drawing on the witness of St Francis of Assisi, he invites us to rediscover a deeper reverence for churches and the real presence of Christ within them. This meditation challenges our habits of rushing past holy ground and calls us back to attentiveness, humility, and love — learning again to notice where God has chosen to dwell.

Today we are doing a special sermon presentation on the podcast. Instead of one of our priests of the Society of Saint Pius X, we'll re-present a sermon by one of - if not the giant – of preaching in all of Christendom, St. Francis de Sales. And so it might help to know something about the preacher who gave it almost exactly 400 years ago today. St. Francis de Sales was one of the great bishops and spiritual teachers of the early seventeenth century, known not for fiery rhetoric, but for clarity, patience, and a deep pastoral charity. He believed that souls are won for God not by pressure or argument, but by gentleness and love. Even those who opposed him were often disarmed by the kindness and calm strength of his preaching. Saint Francis had a special devotion to the mystery of the Incarnation and to the feast of Christmas. He frequently returned in his sermons and writings to the humility of God made man, marveling that the eternal Word chose to come into the world as a helpless child. For him, Bethlehem was a school of confidence and simplicity, where the soul learns to trust God and to approach Him without fear. The sermon you are about to hear was preached at Midnight Mass on Christmas Day in 1622. The stillness of that hour held deep meaning for St. Francis. While the world slept, he saw heaven quietly at work, revealing a God who comes without spectacle, without force, and without demand, asking only to be welcomed. As you listen, allow these words to lead you to the crib at Bethlehem, and to encounter once again the Child who comes into the world tonight out of love for us. - - - - - - - We'd love your feedback on these Daily Devotionals!

Whether it's the holidays or all year long, giving matters. Tim and Steve share a short quote from St Francis of Assisi: "It is in giving that we receive." They explain that giving is not only about gifts. It can be spending time with people, listening, and being there for someone. Time is important and something everyone can give. Life can be busy and full of distractions. This episode is a good reminder to slow down and make time for people who matter.

Forget fairy lights and tinsel, Tudor Christmas decorations were deeply symbolic, richly traditional, and filled with myth and meaning. Hello, I'm historian and author Claire Ridgway, and welcome to Day 7 of my Tudor Christmas Advent series! Today, we're stepping inside the Tudor home to discover how people really decorated for Christmas. In Tudor England, there were no Christmas trees, no early December decorating… In fact, a Tudor walking into your home right now would think you'd gone completely mad, because they only decorated on Christmas Eve. Instead of baubles and glitter, their homes were filled with: - Holly – symbol of Christ's sacrifice & protection - Ivy – representing fidelity and strength - Laurel & rosemary – symbols of eternal life - Evergreens everywhere, believed to bring luck and keep away evil You'll also discover: - The origin of the kissing bough - How mistletoe gained its romantic reputation — from Druids to Norse myth - Why decorations stayed up until Candlemas Eve… but NEVER beyond (unless you wanted goblins!) - And how London transformed into a city draped entirely in greenery Plus, we'll explore the medieval and Tudor tradition of the Christmas crib, from Pope Sixtus III to St Francis of Assisi, and how it lives on beautifully in Spain today. Tudor Christmas décor wasn't about sparkle… It was about symbolism, faith, magic, and midwinter hope.

Today we celebrate the Feast of St. Francis Xavier, one of the greatest missionaries in the history of the Church. Known for his zeal, courage, and love for Jesus, St. Francis Xavier traveled across the world to share the Gospel — baptizing thousands and giving everything for the salvation of souls.   His right arm, preserved in the Gesù in Rome, is a reminder of the countless people he brought to Christ. His life challenges us to step out of comfort, take up the mission, and boldly bring Jesus to others.   This feast is also a solemnity for the Archdiocese of Indianapolis, honoring St. Francis Xavier as our patron.   Let's go out, evangelize, and change the world — just like he did. St. Francis Xavier, pray for us!   #Catholic #StFrancisXavier #FeastDay #Evangelize #MissionarySaint #December3

15 And he said to them: Go ye into the whole world, and preach the gospel to every creature.Et dixit eis : Euntes in mundum universum praedicate Evangelium omni creaturae. 16 He that believeth and is baptized, shall be saved: but he that believeth not shall be condemned.Qui crediderit, et baptizatus fuerit, salvus erit : qui vero non crediderit, condemnabitur. 17 And these signs shall follow them that believe: In my name they shall cast out devils: they shall speak with new tongues.Signa autem eos qui crediderint, haec sequentur : in nomine meo daemonia ejicient : linguis loquentur novis : 18 They shall take up serpents; and if they shall drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them: they shall lay their hands upon the sick, and they shall recover.serpentes tollent : et si mortiferum quid biberint, non eis nocebit : super aegros manus imponent, et bene habebunt.One of the first companions of St Ignatius Loyola, St Francis Xavier, one of the greatest missionaries of all time, preached the Gospel in India and in Japan. He converted innumerable pagans and died in 1552 on his way to China.

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!

The Evergetinos: Book Two - Chapter XXXVIII, Part III

The Evergetinos sets the bar of freedom in a surprising place: anger without cause is not when we flare up over trifles, but whenever we react to any ill-treatment aimed at us. Abba Poimen sharpens the point: even if a brother were to gouge out an eye or cut off a hand, anger would still be without cause—unless he were separating us from God. In other words, the only justified “anger” is zeal for communion with God; all other indignation binds us to the injury and darkens the nous. From this first edge, the text moves to the Christ-likeness of suffering injustice. One who willingly bears wrongs and forgives becomes “like Jesus”; one who neither wrongs nor suffers wrong is merely “like Adam”; one who wrongs is “like the Devil.” The goal is not moral equilibrium but kenosis: to descend into the humility of Christ who “was reviled and did not revile in return.” The Evergetinos then baptizes our imagination with stories. Abba Gelasios' costly book is stolen; he neither exposes the thief nor reclaims it, but quietly commends the buyer to purchase it. His silence pricks the thief's conscience more effectively than accusation; repentance follows, and the thief remains to be formed by the elder's life. Abba Evprepios helps thieves carry his goods; noticing a robber's staff left behind, he runs after them to return it. Abba John the Persian offers to wash the feet of intruders; shame breaks their hardness more swiftly than punishment. Abba Makarios not only helps a thief load a camel with his own belongings; when the animal refuses to rise, he adds the missing tool and blesses the thief's going—only then does the camel sit again, until everything is returned. These vignettes train the heart to a habitual non-resistance that is anything but passivity; it is a deliberate, creative meekness that seeks the other's salvation. Not all the stories end with goods restored. Sometimes the elder simply rejoices to have been counted worthy to lose. One monk prays to be given the chance to imitate such forbearance; when thieves finally come, he lights a lamp, shows them everything, even discloses the hidden coins. He does not wish them to bring anything back. Here dispossession becomes doxology. “We brought nothing into the world” and “The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away” are not verses to be quoted at funerals only; they are the grammar of freedom in the face of loss. --- Text of chat during the group: 00:05:09 Fr.
