In September 1900, ten nuns and ninety-three children were trapped inside an orphanage on the exposed western edge of Galveston Island as a Category 4 hurricane swallowed the city. With one dormitory already gone and the Gulf rising through the remaining building, the Sisters made a decision. They cut down the clotheslines, tied groups of children to themselves, and waited for the water. When the orphanage collapsed, ninety children and all ten Sisters died. Days later, recovery crews found them scattered along the coast—still tied together. The knots had held. Tonight, we tell the story of St. Mary's Orphan Asylum, the three boys who somehow survived, and a decision made in the final minutes before the deadliest natural disaster in American history destroyed almost everything around them.

August 15, 2026. Today's Reading: Luke 1:(39-45) 46-55Daily Lectionary: 2 Samuel 5:1-25; 1 Corinthians 8:1-13“Blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what was spoken to her from the Lord.” (Luke 1:45)In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.Lutherans honor Mary—not because she rules in heaven or manages our prayers—but because of what God did through her. Jesus' humanity is real—He took flesh from Mary. Second, all but two recorded humans die. If Mary had been taken bodily, assumed into heaven, Scripture would clearly say that — as it does about Enoch in Genesis 5:24 and Elijah in 2 Kings 2:11. Scripture is silent on what happened with Mary later in her life; what we do know is that the Bible never implies that Mary was sinless or deserving of our worship. Instead, Holy Scripture presents her as a faithful servant, uniquely chosen, and consistently points to God's saving work in Christ.We honor Mary because she herself said, and Scripture records, “All generations will call me blessed” (Luke 1:48). She's the Mother of our Lord, the one who heard the word of God from Gabriel and believed it. We honor Mary because God honored her—but we do so in the way she teaches us: not by magnifying her, but by magnifying the Lord.God chose an ordinary, humble woman to bear His Son. Jesus grew like we do, lived in the world we live in, suffered in all the ways we do, was tempted as we are, yet without sin, and He did so as a man. This perfect and sinless body He offered on the cross for our salvation. This is the “great thing” God did to Mary—and the great thing He did to and for us. Mary's greatness is not in or of herself. Her greatness is that she received everything from her Savior. She says she's “lowly,” not special or powerful, and so, her humility is part of the miracle. (Luke 1:29)This is our story. God has done great things to and for us. In Baptism, He claimed us as His children. In the Lord's Supper, He feeds us with His Body and Blood, giving forgiveness, life, and salvation. He puts Himself into us—just as He once put Himself into Mary (Luke 1:35). Our response, like Mary's, is awe: “He has done great things to me.” (v.49)We rejoice with Mary—not in Mary. We rejoice in the Lord who became flesh for us, who poured out His blood to forgive us, who keeps His promises, and who loves us by His death that gives us life.In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.We pray: Almighty God, You chose the Virgin Mary to be the mother of Your only Son. Grant that we, who are redeemed by His blood, may share with her in the glory of Your eternal kingdom; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.Rev. Adam DeGroot, pastor of Calvary Lutheran Church in Rio Rancho, NM.

The Motherhood of St. Mary - Fr. Abraam Georgy - Nahda 2026 by Saint Mary Coptic Orthodox Church, East Brunswick, NJ
H.G. Bishop Gregory leads the ordination prayers for chanters in the Coptic Orthodox Church, invoking God's grace for those who serve in chanting spiritual hymns and praises. The liturgical prayers emphasize the biblical foundations of chanting through the example of Prophet David, asking for divine assistance to chant with understanding, humility, and devotion. H.G. Bishop Gregory calls upon God to sanctify, bless, and protect the new chanters so they may serve faithfully and enrich the worship experience with heartfelt songs. The ordination service includes invocations to the Holy Trinity and blessings for the chanters to become vessels of spiritual praise in the church. This video reflects the sacred tradition of preparing choirs to lead the congregation in prayerful worship through psalms and chants. #CopticOrthodox #ChantersOrdination #LiturgicalChants #HGBishopGregory #OrthodoxWorship #StPaulHouston #Coptic #FrMatthias Subscribe to us on YouTube https://youtube.com/stpaulhouston Like us on Facebook https://facebook.com/saintpaulhouston Follow us on SoundCloud https://soundcloud.com/stpaulhouston Follow us on Instagram https://instagram.com/stpaulhouston Visit our website for schedules and to join the mailing list https://stpaulhouston.org
HH Pope Shenouda III's teaching, presented by Fr. Matthias Shehad, explores the role and significance of the Holy Virgin St. Mary in the church. This first part focuses on her unique place as the bearer of God (Theotokos), the difference between veneration and worship, and how God honors her for her role in salvation history. Fr. Matthias discusses important theological distinctions, including the Orthodox position on original sin, the perpetual virginity of Mary, and her life's trials and miracles. He also covers significant feast days dedicated to St. Mary, her presence in church traditions, and biblical symbolism connected to her. This talk sets the foundation for understanding the Virgin Mary's influence in Christian faith, her intercessory role, and how the church remembers and honors her. #HolyVirginMary #Theotokos #OrthodoxFaith #ChurchTraditions #StMaryFeasts #FrMatthiasShehad #StPaulHouston #Coptic #FrMatthias Subscribe to us on YouTube https://youtube.com/stpaulhouston Like us on Facebook https://facebook.com/saintpaulhouston Follow us on SoundCloud https://soundcloud.com/stpaulhouston Follow us on Instagram https://instagram.com/stpaulhouston Visit our website for schedules and to join the mailing list https://stpaulhouston.org

27 And it came to pass, as he spoke these things, a certain woman from the crowd, lifting up her voice, said to him: Blessed is the womb that bore thee, and the paps that gave thee suck.Factum est autem, cum haec diceret : extollens vocem quaedam mulier de turba dixit illi : Beatus venter qui te portavit, et ubera quae suxisti. 28 But he said: Yea rather, blessed are they who hear the word of God, and keep it.At ille dixit : Quinimmo beati, qui audiunt verbum Dei et custodiunt illud.The Basilica of Our Lady of the Snows, called also St Mary Major, was built on the Esquiline at Rome by St Liberius, Pope from 352 to 366. Popular tradition relates that the site was traced out by a miraculous fall of snow on this date, which is that of the Feast of the Church's Dedication.In the city of Rome there lived a holy nobleman named John. He and his good wife Mary were very devoted to the Blessed Virgin Mary. Since they had no children, they asked Our Lady in fervent prayer to let them know what good deeds they should perform with their great fortune. The Blessed Mother answered their prayer in a marvellous way. On August 5th, when it is very hot in Rome, they both dreamed that she told them to build a church in her honor on the spot they would find covered with snow! John told Pope Liberius went to the spot on the Esquiline Hill where the snow lay, and traced out a plan for the new church, which became the most famous church of Mary in all the world. This church has been called the Liberian Basilica (after the Pope), and St Mary of the Snow, because of the miracle. After a relic of the crib in which Jesus was born was brought to this church, it was called St Mary of the Crib too. Today, we call it St Mary Major, to show that it is the major church of Our Lady.Many great Saints, such as St Stanislaus Kostka and St Aloysius, loved to pray in the Church of St. Mary Major. One of the oldest pictures of Our Lady is venerated there. This picture, which people say was painted by St. Luke, was carried from the church in possession by the Pope when a terrible sickness was killing the people of Rome. Everyone begged Mary to stop this plague and their prayers were answered. Another time, with this picture from the Church of St. Mary Major, the Pope blessed homes that were on fire, and the fire stopped by a miracle. These are just a few of the many wonderful graces the Blessed Mother has granted to those who turn to her with faith and love.Let us purify our souls well with the Sacrament of Confession. Only in this way can we hope to receive all graces from our Blessed Mother.

This classic TopMedTalk piece was originally cast in April 2020. The debate 'Direct laryngoscopes should be consigned to history', was hosted by The Royal College Of Anaesthetists and carried out by our two guests on this piece, where the debate is outlined in advance. We get into the advantages and challenges behind the two techniques; video laryngoscopy and direct laryngoscopy. The conversation explores the fact that these skills are a key part of the job of practitioners, are we "de-skilling" the profession in an overly enthusiastic race toward new technology or are some resisting it simply because it's not what they are used to? Presented by Joff Lacey and Monty Mythen with their two guests; Professor Tim Cook, Consultant in Anaesthesia and ICM, Royal United Hospitals, Bath and Dr William Harrop-Griffiths, St Mary's Hospital, Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust.

What happens when being busy leaves us with no time to simply be present? In this talk, Peter explore the story of Mary and Martha in Luke 10, and what it can teach us about the pressures of a busy life.We look at how busyness can rob us of peace, distract us from the people around us, and leave little room to notice what God might be doing.

36 And one of the Pharisees desired him to eat with him. And he went into the house of the Pharisee, and sat down to meat.Rogabat autem illum quidam de pharisaeis ut manducaret cum illo. Et ingressus domum pharisaei discubuit. 37 And behold a woman that was in the city, a sinner, when she knew that he sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of ointment;Et ecce mulier, quae erat in civitate peccatrix, ut cognovit quod accubuisset in domo pharisaei, attulit alabastrum unguenti : 38 And standing behind at his feet, she began to wash his feet, with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.et stans retro secus pedes ejus, lacrimis coepit rigare pedes ejus, et capillis capitis sui tergebat, et osculabatur pedes ejus, et unguento ungebat. 39 And the Pharisee, who had invited him, seeing it, spoke within himself, saying: This man, if he were a prophet, would know surely who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him, that she is a sinner.Videns autem pharisaeus, qui vocaverat eum, ait intra se dicens : Hic si esset propheta, sciret utique quae et qualis est mulier, quae tangit eum : quia peccatrix est. 40 And Jesus answering, said to him: Simon, I have somewhat to say to thee. But he said: Master, say it.Et respondens Jesus, dixit ad illum : Simon, habeo tibi aliquid dicere. At ille ait : Magister, dic. 41 A certain creditor had two debtors, the one who owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.Duo debitores erant cuidam foeneratori : unus debebat denarios quingentos, et alius quinquaginta. 42 And whereas they had not wherewith to pay, he forgave them both. Which therefore of the two loveth him most?Non habentibus illis unde redderent, donavit utrisque. Quis ergo eum plus diligit? 43 Simon answering, said: I suppose that he to whom he forgave most. And he said to him: Thou hast judged rightly.Respondens Simon dixit : Aestimo quia is cui plus donavit. At ille dixit : Recte judicasti. 44 And turning to the woman, he said unto Simon: Dost thou see this woman? I entered into thy house, thou gavest me no water for my feet; but she with tears hath washed my feet, and with her hairs hath wiped them.Et conversus ad mulierem, dixit Simoni : Vides hanc mulierem? Intravi in domum tuam, aquam pedibus meis non dedisti : haec autem lacrimis rigavit pedes meos, et capillis suis tersit. 45 Thou gavest me no kiss; but she, since she came in, hath not ceased to kiss my feet.Osculum mihi non dedisti : haec autem ex quo intravit, non cessavit osculari pedes meos. 46 My head with oil thou didst not anoint; but she with ointment hath anointed my feet.Oleo caput meum non unxisti : haec autem unguento unxit pedes meos. 47 Wherefore I say to thee: Many sins are forgiven her, because she hath loved much. But to whom less is forgiven, he loveth less.Propter quod dico tibi : remittuntur ei peccata multa, quoniam dilexit multum. Cui autem minus dimittitur, minus diligit. 48 And he said to her: Thy sins are forgiven thee.Dixit autem ad illam : Remittuntur tibi peccata. 49 And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves: Who is this that forgiveth sins also?Et coeperunt qui simul accumbebant, dicere intra se : Quis est hic qui etiam peccata dimittit? 50 And he said to the woman: Thy faith hath made thee safe, go in peace.Dixit autem ad mulierem : Fides tua te salvam fecit : vade in pace.[47] "Many sins are forgiven her, because she hath loved much": In the scripture an effect sometimes seems attributed to one only cause, when there are divers other concurring dispositions; for the sins of this woman, in this verse, are said to be forgiven, because she loved much: but (ver. 50) Christ tells her, Thy faith hath made thee safe. Hence in a true conversion are joined faith, hope, love, sorrow for sin, and other pious dispositions.

Song of Solomon 3:1-4 ·(I have found him whom my soul loves.) 2 Corinthians 5:14-17 ·(Behold, the new has come.)
In week 3 of our series Rattles, Eileen takes us into one of the most famous passages in Scripture — Ezekiel's vision of the valley of dry bones (Ezekiel 37).God asks Ezekiel a question he already knows the answer to: "Can these bones live?" It's a question for us too. Where in your life do things feel dry, dead, or beyond hope? A relationship, a diagnosis, a finances, a version of yourself you thought was gone for good?Aileen unpacks what it means to speak God's word over impossible situations rather than just describing how things feel, and why God so often asks us to believe what's unreasonable rather than what's right in front of our eyes.For more about St Mary's London, visit stmaryslondon.com.

Let Me Be Frank | Bishop Frank Caggiano's Podcast | Diocese of Bridgeport, CT
On July 1st, Pope Leo XIV and the DDF declared the Society of St Pius X to be excommunicated. This obviously has massive repercussions for the clergy of that order, but also for thousands of lay people who have been attending SSPX liturgies. Bishop Caggiano has written that "my heart goes out to them at this painful moment, and I want them to know that they remain very much a part of our diocesan family". On this episode of Let Me Be Frank, he invites those who have been involved with the SSPX back in to the heart of the Church. He also talks about: What is schism? What's the difference between an invalid and an illicit sacrament? Who are the SSPX and what is their history? Here in the DIocese of Bridgeport, we have St Mary's in Norwalk and Sts Cyril & Methodius for everyone who loves vetus ordo. You can find similar parishes in nearly every diocese.

Amanda King & Hari Kuhan Integrative oncologist Dr Hari Kuhan and metabolic nutritionist Amanda King join Jackie to talk metabolic therapy for cancer, why the ketogenic diet stresses cancer cells, and what’s in their new book, Metabolic Drugs for Cancer. “Apply the brakes on a growing cancer. Anything above that obviously is a blessing and brilliant, but that's the number one.” — Dr Hari Kuhan “The ketogenic diet causes stress on cancer cells, and stressed cancer cells are weaker.” — Amanda King About Hari Kuhan Dr Hari Kuhan completed his undergraduate medical training at Imperial College London, where he also obtained a BSc in Surgery and Anaesthesia. He carried out his foundation and core medical training in Central London, with appointments at St Mary’s Hospital and St Bartholomew’s Hospital. Over time, he built substantial expertise in Medical Oncology, working at leading institutions including St Bartholomew’s, University College London, and the Royal Marsden Hospital. He then pursued a research fellowship at Barts Cancer Institute, London funded by Stand Up to Cancer and HCA Healthcare, focusing on metabolic vulnerabilities in cancer stem cells and circulating tumour cells through the use of repurposed medicines and Vitamin C. Expanding his reach into translational and clinical development, Dr Kuhan joined the Sarah Cannon Research Institute UK (Harley Street), London where he served as lead sub-investigator on multiple Phase I and II solid tumour trials, and became adept at integrating next-generation sequencing outputs into therapeutic decision-making. Motivated by both scientific innovation and patient-centred care, Dr Kuhan co-founded Lucio Health with long-time associate Raphael Swery, united by a vision to reshape cancer care for the 21st century. Together, they established a clinic that integrates precision oncology, metabolic targeting, repurposed medicines, and evidence-based integrative strategies—pioneering a personalised model that moves beyond the limitations of conventional, one-size-fits-all approaches. At Lucio Health, cutting-edge AI-driven platforms interpret complex mutational and molecular data, while functional sensitivity testing of blood and tissue samples reveals how an individual’s cancer responds to a wide range of agents in real time. These insights are then integrated with metabolic and genomic profiling to create multi-layered, personalised roadmaps for each patient—designed not only to identify the most promising treatments, but also to avoid those unlikely to help. The ambition of Lucio Health is to bridge the gap between laboratory science and lived patient experience: translating the latest advances in genomics, artificial intelligence, and metabolic oncology into practical, compassionate, and highly individualised care pathways. It is a clinic built on the belief that cancer treatment should be as unique as the patient facing it, combining clarity and scientific precision with humanity and hope. About Amanda King After earning her BSc through the Open University that combined Human Biology with Psychology and Counselling, Amanda King advanced her clinical training through the College of Naturopathic Medicine in London, qualifying as a Nutritional Therapist in 2022 and as a Naturopathic Practitioner in 2024. Most recently, she completed the Practitioner Master Course in Integrative Metabolic Oncology with the Metabolic Terrain Institute of Health under Dr Nasha Winters, further deepening her expertise in terrain-focused cancer care. Over the past decade, Amanda has honed her practice at the intersection of nutrigenomics, methylation science and epigenetics, integrating advanced lab diagnostics with personalised nutrition, therapeutic ketogenic and ancestral diets, and targeted supplementation to optimise each patient’s metabolic landscape. A certified nutrigenomics practitioner with training in Integrative and Gestalt psychotherapy, she is widely regarded for translating complex genomic and hormonal data such as DNA methylation panels and DUTCH hormone testing into pragmatic nutrition and lifestyle protocols that address both biochemical individuality and psychological wellbeing. In her integrative oncology nutrition practice, Amanda delivers bespoke protocols that weave together diet, lifestyle optimisation, mindset coaching and evidence-based complementary therapies, empowering patients to navigate cancer with clarity and agency. Committed to reshaping the dialogue around food as medicine, she collaborates with metabolic oncologists, functional laboratories and patient-advocacy groups worldwide to expand access to precision, nutrition-centred oncology care and to generate rigorous outcome data that will elevate the standard of integrative cancer support.

Take regular breaks completely off-grid, away from your phone a Hari’s Top Tips When a spark of inspiration to change something hits, ride it — don’t wait for the perfect moment. Educate yourself about your condition: ask questions, look into your scan reports, tumour markers, mutations, and trial options rather than accepting “there’s nothing you can do.” Make time to step away from the daily grind and be present with your family — don’t let life become just work and stress.

Headlines this week from: St Mary's in Chicago, Stanford University, the UAW Convention, Labor Notes, the Rochester Minnesota bus system, TF Green Airport, Embassy Suites Seattle, Salon 1884, and Safeway. The uprising in Bolivia reached a new pitch this week as an agreement was signed with the central union body to roll back privatizations and reforms, but simultaneously the state declared martial law against them. The Labor Notes conference was just held, and we break down some of the hot button issues and organizing lessons that were discussed by the organizers in attendance. Finally, in response to the working class victory in Minneapolis in January against ICE, the FBI this week charged 15 community defenders with a series of trumped up conspiracy charges, but the labor movement has vowed to defend them and continue the fight against ICE terror.

We start this week's episode with headlines from St Mary's hospital (Chicago and Madison), Uber, Starbucks, Amazon, Target Field, Hyundai, the Durham Miners Association, and Walmart. Our first main story follows up on the strike by UAW workers at American Axle, who have won a major new contract. Pro-Palestine student protestors at the University of Michigan were arrested in FBI raids, we discuss the escalating attacks on the movement. The World Cup kicked off this week, and in addition to the sportswashing of Empire, there's a whole lot of exploitation, but thankfully workers are fighting back. Finally, we do a deep dive into the wide range of attacks on higher education, both the workers themselves and the institutional structure as a whole.
