"Children of God, that's freedom." What could happen if you knew Jesus' heart so deeply that you could laugh even in the face of death?

 31 And again going out of the coasts of Tyre, he came by Sidon to the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts of Decapolis.Et iterum exiens de finibus Tyri, venit per Sidonem ad mare Galilaeae inter medios fines Decapoleos. 32 And they bring to him one deaf and dumb; and they besought him that he would lay his hand upon him.Et adducunt ei surdum, et mutum, et deprecabantur eum, ut imponat illi manum. 33 And taking him from the multitude apart, he put his fingers into his ears, and spitting, he touched his tongue:Et apprehendens eum de turba seorsum, misit digitos suos in auriculas ejus : et exspuens, tetigit linguam ejus : 34 And looking up to heaven, he groaned, and said to him: Ephpheta, which is, Be thou opened.et suscipiens in caelum, ingemuit, et ait illi : Ephphetha, quod est, Adaperire. 35 And immediately his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spoke right.Et statim apertae sunt aures ejus, et solutum est vinculum linguae ejus, et loquebatur recte. 36 And he charged them that they should tell no man. But the more he charged them, so much the more a great deal did they publish it.Et praecepit illis ne cui dicerent. Quanto autem eis praecipiebat, tanto magis plus praedicabant : 37 And so much the more did they wonder, saying: He hath done all things well; he hath made both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.et eo amplius admirabantur, dicentes : Bene omnia fecit : et surdos fecit audire, et mutos loqui.Hyppolytus was a guardian of St Lawrence and baptised by him. He was tied by the legs to wild horses in 260 A.D.St Cassian was a schoolmaster at Imola. He was pierced to death by his pagan pupils in 320 A.D.

EPISODE SUMMARY Amanda di Medici is the founder of Yenom, an independent financial wellbeing business helping employers address the hidden cost of financial stress in the workplace. After careers spanning technology, mortgage broking, financial counselling and adult education, Amanda built Yenom to reach a group she calls the "working poor": people who have jobs, but not enough left over to actually get ahead, and who fall outside every government-funded support service because they don't hold a Centrelink card. In this conversation, Amanda shares the personal turning point that led her to build Yenom, why she has deliberately built the business to be commission-free and product-free, and how financial stress is fast becoming recognised as a genuine psychosocial risk inside Australian workplaces. She also explains the story behind the name Yenom, and previews the financial wellbeing app she is launching in August 2026. IN THIS EPISODE Amanda's early lesson in money management, and the friend's offhand comment that changed how she thought about saving Her path from law, finance and adult education into mortgage broking, and what she saw there that she couldn't unsee Why she calls her audience the "working poor," and who falls into that gap between paying the bills and being supported The personal catalyst, turning 50 and losing her sister, that pushed her to build Yenom Why Yenom is built to be 100% independent, with no AFSL, no products sold, and no commissions The story behind the name Yenom, and the brief she gave her branding team: "know thyself" What she's seeing in the mining sector, including apprentices earning six-figure salaries who are bankrupt within five years How financial stress is emerging as a workplace psychosocial risk, and its link to AI-driven job uncertainty The financial wellbeing app launching in August, and how it fits alongside Yenom's corporate and workshop offerings Amanda's dream for Yenom: her app in a hundred thousand pockets, and a foundation that funds financial literacy long after she's gone ABOUT AMANDA DI MEDICI Amanda di Medici has an educational background in Law, Finance and Adult Education, along with over thirty years' experience across tech and community services. While exploring a self-employment opportunity in finance broking, Amanda saw first-hand the need for comprehensive, basic financial education among the many people she met each day, from those seeking zero-deposit home loans, to those caught in "rent to buy" schemes, to those with no realistic path to credit at all. That experience led her into roles with the Brotherhood of St Lawrence and TAFE NSW, where she built the grounding in structure, support and outcomes behind effective financial literacy education. Twenty years on, Amanda founded Yenom, an independent financial wellbeing business that meets people where they are: at work. Yenom combines workplace financial wellbeing programs with a gamified mobile app, and its defining principle is independence. Yenom does not sell or recommend financial products, and does not sell or market using client data. Its sole objective is personal financial understanding and increased wellbeing. Amanda is also a sponsor of the Women in Mining Network and works closely with the mining and heavy industry sectors.

Friends of the Rosary,The Catholic Church celebrates today, August 10, the feast of Saint Lawrence (d. 258), a deacon of the Church in Rome, known for serving the poor and for giving his life as a heroic martyr.He was arrested under Emperor Valerian in 258, laid upon a gridiron, and slowly roasted to death. In the midst of excruciating pain, he prayed: "Lord Jesus Christ, God from God, have mercy on Your servant!"At a certain point, the soldier Romanus exclaimed: "I see before you an incomparably beautiful youth. Hasten and baptize me." He had observed how an angel dried the wounds of Lawrence with a linen cloth during his passion.Lawrence died praying for the conversion of the city of Rome, in the hope that from it the faith of Christ might spread throughout the world. From that time, idolatry began to decline in Rome.This young deacon and heroic martyr is counted among the saints most highly venerated by the ancient Roman Church. Next to the feast of Sts. Peter and Paul, that of St. Lawrence ranked highest in the Roman sanctoral cycle.During the persecution of Emperor Valerian (253-260), Sixtus II and his four deacons were martyred.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!

August 10th, 2026:  St Lawrence - Burn with the Love of God;  Bl Amadeus Menez;  Will Most People Be Saved?;  St Lawrence - God Loves a Cheerful Giver

Send us Fan MailRome wants the Church's gold, and a deacon answers with a line that still startles: “These are the treasures of the Church.” We walk through the legacy of St. Lawrence, one of the most beloved Catholic saints, and why his witness is more than a martyr story. It is a direct challenge to our instincts about safety, success, and what we protect most. We place Lawrence inside the real pressure of 3rd century Rome under Emperor Valerian, when Christian persecution intensified, clergy were targeted, and Church property was seized. As an archdeacon responsible for alms and care for the vulnerable, Lawrence becomes the perfect test case for the gospel's paradox: the Church's wealth is not stored in vaults but carried in mercy, community, and the dignity of the poor. Along the way we connect his words to Scripture, including 2 Corinthians 8:9 and Matthew 25:40, and we ask how Catholics today can recognize Christ in the suffering without turning charity into a slogan. Then we face the hard part of the story: Lawrence's martyrdom and the tradition of his fearless wit on the gridiron. The point is not admiration from a distance. We want a clearer spiritual lens and a practical examination of conscience: Do we value people over possessions, and do our daily choices look like a treasury of virtues that lasts? If St. Lawrence's story moves you, share this with a friend, subscribe for more Catholic faith and saint stories, and leave a review so more listeners can find the show.Open by Steve Bailey Support the showJourneys of Faith brings you Super Saints PodcastsVisit our blog for full text of our podcasts https://journeysoffaith.com/blogs/eucharist-mary-saintsDownload Journeys of Faith App for Iphone or Android FREE https://journeysoffaith.com/pages/download-our-appPlease consider subscribing to this podcast or making a donation to Journeys of Faith Help us Grow!Journeys of Faith is blessed to provide Catholic media, including podcasts and inspirational content, free of charge across multiple media platforms for viewers and listeners around the world.

Our Daily Scripture Readings and Reflection: On the Feast of St. Lawrence, we reflect on Jesus' call to serve and to give our lives for others. In John 12:24-26, Christ reminds us that the grain of wheat must fall to the ground and die in order to bear much fruit. St. Lawrence understood that the true treasures of the Church are the poor, the weak, and the vulnerable. His witness challenges us to recognize Christ in those most in need and to serve them with selfless love. Join us for today's Scripture reading, reflection, and prayer as we ask God for the grace to faithfully follow Christ and serve the treasures He has entrusted to us.

24 Amen, amen I say to you, unless the grain of wheat falling into the ground die,Amen, amen dico vobis, nisi granum frumenti cadens in terram, mortuum fuerit, 25 Itself remaineth alone. But if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world, keepeth it unto life eternal.ipsum solum manet : si autem mortuum fuerit, multum fructum affert. Qui amat animam suam, perdet eam; et qui odit animam suam in hoc mundo, in vitam aeternam custodit eam. 26 If any man minister to me, let him follow me; and where I am, there also shall my minister be. If any man minister to me, him will my Father honour.Si quis mihi ministrat, me sequatur, et ubi sum ego, illic et minister meus erit. Si quis mihi ministraverit, honorificabit eum Pater meus.St Lawrence was a deacon, Pope and Martyr. The prefect of Rome arrested him. He distributed the possessions of the Church to the poor to save them from confiscation. He was roasted to death on a gridiron in 258, A.D.

(Aug 5, 2026) St. Lawrence County's sheriff says the plan to partner with ICE isn't moving forward after the state banned certain collaborations between ICE and local law enforcement; we get an update from a local reporter covering the trial of a man accused of killing his daughter in Essex County last year; and Chef Curtiss Hemm of the Carriage House Cooking School joins us for a quick weeknight dinner recipe that takes advantage of those farmers market greens.

Host John Batchelor and his guests examine how global shipping routes and commodity prices are shifting due to regional instability and environmental extremes like European wildfires. The conversation transitions into a detailed analysis of public resistance toward data centers, highlighting the tension between much-needed local tax revenue and community fears regarding resource consumption. Through a Wall Street Journal quiz, the participants reveal widespread misconceptions about how these facilities impact water and electricity supplies. Finally, the experts critique the reliability of AI tools like Gemini and Claude, noting that while they boost productivity, they can sometimes disseminate foreign misinformation if not carefully vetted.

July 21st, 2026:  St Lawrence of Brindisi - Speaking Truth in Charity;  St Lawrence of Brindisi - Great Ornament of the Capuchin Order;  St Lawrence of Brindisi, Apostolic Doctor;  St Lawrence of Brindisi - Sower of the Faith;  St Lawrence of Brindisi - Outstanding Preacher

Send us Fan MailOne word shows up again and again in the life of St. Lawrence of Brindisi, and it isn't a slogan. It's the holy name of Jesus, spoken as a prayer, trusted as a refuge, and proclaimed with the kind of conviction that moves hearts. We walk through how a young orphan from Brindisi became a Capuchin Franciscan, a fearless preacher, and eventually a Doctor of the Church whose influence reached from monasteries to royal courts and even battlefields. Along the way, we dig into the habits that actually formed him: immersion in Scripture (in Hebrew, Greek, and Latin), a life of gospel poverty, and a steady Marian devotion that keeps his spirituality grounded and relational. When Europe is shaken by religious conflict and confusion, Lawrence's approach isn't performative or combative. He uses his learning in service of people, speaking with clarity and charity, and he keeps returning to a simple center: Jesus Christ, truly present in the Eucharist. We also explore why the episode keeps using the language of spiritual warfare. For Lawrence, invoking “Jesus” isn't a magic trick; it's a deliberate act of trust in the living Lord, especially in fear, temptation, and doubt. If you want Catholic spirituality that feels both ancient and immediately usable, his life is a guide to Eucharistic adoration, brave faith, and prayer that doesn't flinch.

+ Holy Gospel according to St. Matthew 12: 46 – 50While Jesus was speaking to the crowds, his mother and his brothers appeared outside,wishing to speak with him.Someone told him, “Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, asking to speak with you.”But he said in reply to the one who told him, “Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?”And stretching out his hand toward his disciples, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers. For whoever does the will of my heavenly Father is my brother, and sister, and mother.”The Gospel of the Lord

St. Lawrence of Brindisi (1559-1619) was one of the early Capuchins, the first Capuchin to be named a Doctor of the Church, and the third Franciscan so named, after St. Anthony of Padua, and St. Bonaventure. Just as the Discalced Carmelites were reformers within the Carmelite order, the Capuchins were reformers within the Franciscan order. St. Lawrence was also a popular preacher, a genius scholar, with a command of at least 10 languages, and the leading Catholic apologist of his day.

In this episode of ADK Talks, we talk with Jacob McCullough and Nicole Panek about St. Lawrence University's Adirondack Semester, an immersive fall program where students live off-grid in a yurt village on Massawepie Lake.They share what daily life looks like without phones or laptops, how students learn through outdoor leadership and place-based study, and why the experience leaves such a lasting impact. From shared meals and handwritten coursework to loons, lake water, and deep community, this is a fascinating look at a one-of-a-kind semester in the Adirondacks.Jacob and Nicole also explain how students balance rigorous academics with the practical realities of living in the woods, from cooking and hauling water to learning how to communicate, solve problems, and live closely with others. They talk about the kinds of students the program attracts, the personal growth that often happens over the course of the semester, and why the Adirondacks offer such a rich setting for this kind of education.What you'll hear in this episodeLiving in a yurt village for a full semesterStarting with a seven-day canoe tripLearning without phones or computersBuilding community through shared daily lifeWhy the Adirondacks make such a powerful classroomHow the experience changes students long after they leaveResources:St. Lawrence University Adirondack SemesterAdirondack Semester Weekly UpdatesDonnelly's Soft Ice CreamMt.

Send us Fan MailIn this powerful episode, we reflect on one of the most striking stories from the early Church—St. Lawrence and the true treasure of the Church.When Roman authorities demanded the Church's wealth, they expected gold and riches. What they received instead shocked an empire—and revealed something far deeper about the heart of the Catholic faith.As we enter Holy Week, this story invites us to see with new eyes. What does the Church truly value? What does Christ call us to give? And where is true treasure found?St. Lawrence's witness challenges us to move beyond comfort and into a life of charity, sacrifice, and trust in God.This is not just a story from the past—it's a call to live the Gospel today.Support the showSupport this show and get all future episodes by email atwww.kenandjanelle.com

Sadie St. Lawrence joins me to unpack her concept of the "AI Orchestrator," explaining how it shifts our mindset from being a musician to a conductor in the age of AI. She shares insights from her work at the Human-Machine Collaboration Institute (HMCI), detailing how her team is building AI-powered solutions and tackling complex problems.

In this podcast episode, St. Lawrence University head coach Chris Wells discusses his deep-rooted connection to the Saints women's hockey program and the unique community of Canton, New York. As a local native and alumnus, Wells highlights the "small-town USA" charm of the university, where a $20 million renovation of the historic Appleton Arena has provided top-tier facilities while maintaining a close-knit, supportive environment. He attributes the program's success—including recent NCAA tournament runs and victories over Big 10 teams—to the remarkable stability of his coaching staff, many of whom have worked together for nearly two decades. Facing a developmental season with nine freshmen, Wells emphasizes a coaching philosophy built on transparency, data-driven practice feedback, and a "family first" culture that transforms the isolated North Country setting into a competitive advantage for player growth and recruitment.You can learn more about and the St. Lawrence University Women's Ice Hockey program here:  https://saintsathletics.com/sports/womens-ice-hockey You can connect with Chris Wells on the SLU website: https://saintsathletics.com/staff-directory/chris-wells/42 or via Chris Wells Champs App profile: https://profile.champs.app/h/chris-wellsFollow Chris Wells or the St. Lawrence University Women'sHockey team on X: @SLUCWells  and @slu_whockeyand Instagram: @slusaintshockey===================Champs App is your recruiting and development copilot.
