St. Stephen of Hungary knelt among the poor as a king long before Rome ever sent him a crown. Meet St. Stephen of Hungary, the young Magyar chieftain crowned the first King of Hungary by Pope Sylvester II on Christmas Day, the year 1000. Stephen built churches and monasteries across his kingdom, and alongside his wife Gisela — a true sacramental partnership — helped plant the Catholic faith in a still-pagan land. He even disguised himself as a poor man to hand out alms with his own hands. "A king who let himself be knocked down in a dark street for love of Christ." ⭐Want to keep living St. Stephen's story after the episode ends?  Grab our free Every Day's a Feast Day calendar and get every saint and every challenge delivered, so your family can follow along together: https://shop.catholicsprouts.com/pages/every-days-a-feast-day-follow-along

Deep Fulfillment in Christ: Bring Friends - Week 2 by St Stephen's Willoughby

On this week's episode my guest is SOAK. Bridie Monds-Watson has been making music since they were a teenager in Derry, releasing their Mercury-nominated debut Before We Forgot How to Dream in 2015 at just 18, followed by Grim Town in 2019 and If I Never Know You Like This Again in 2022, all on Rough Trade. The last few years have been a strange and quiet stretch for SOAK. Vocal issues left them wondering if their time in music was coming to an end but an undiagnosed autoimmune disease was quickly discovered. Bridie talks about coming out the other side of it having "remodelled everything for joy", writing in the present tense rather than nostalgia, and only trying to make themselves laugh. There's also the full story of how 'just stand there' with Fred Again.. came about, from a lockdown spoken word piece made with Ellius Grace and Gemma Doherty to Fred texting through a finished remix unprompted, to becoming the most heard vocal of their career, racking up over 25 million plays and the surreal moment Fred and Thomas Bangalter of Daft Punk closed a show with the song segueing into 'One More Time'. SOAK is big on collaboration having recently also worked with Gordi, Niamh Regan  Katie Malco, Julien Baker and] George Fitzgerald. Fresh from an intimate tour of Ireland's small rooms, venues and bookshops, 'death valley fridge magnet' is their first solo song in over four years, a song about feeling lost and finding your way back through your friends. You can catch SOAK live this summer at The Circle by Jameson Music at All Together Now Festival, which features some Nialler9 favourites. For this conversation, SOAK picked five songs to frame the chat: Big Thief, Samia, Julia Jacklin, Mitski and Ryan Beatty. We get into all of them, along with losing your voice, writing to your younger self, and over a decade of being SOAK. * Support Nialler9 on Patreon, get event discounts, playlists, ad-free episodes and join our Discord community    On the vocal issues that changed everything "I have an autoimmune disease that I didn't know about, and I only found out about it because I started to lose my voice. After one show, my voice would just become hoarse. When that started happening, I was like, well, maybe there's a reason I'm not meant to do this... In the end I did really need a moment to ask, what do I care about? Why did I want to do this in the first place? It recentered everything. I just remodelled everything for joy. It's been a big relief." On touring while losing their voice "I would play a show and then my voice would just go, or I'd be straining so hard it was painful to sing. For a lot of those last shows I would literally be on vocal rest during the day to save my voice for the show that evening, strain it again, and repeat the process. And there's a band there and everybody's getting paid. It was just so stressful." On how the writing has changed "A big difference in the stuff I've been writing is that it's very present. Before, I would have been very nostalgic in my writing... I notice a change in myself, that I'm trying a lot less. I'm only trying to make myself laugh now, to be honest. I used to punish myself a lot and seek some sort of optimisation in music, which is the worst combination of words when it comes to art." On redefining success "My aspirations have never been to headline Glastonbury. To me, success is having the freedom of time and space to actually make the next song. Nothing will stop the next song except for you. You can be an artist and it doesn't have to be your entire income. That's a big distinction I had to learn." On writing 'death valley fridge magnet' "I wrote it in the car, it was starting to snow around Christmas a couple of years back. I was driving past St Stephen's Green and it brought on all these memories of my best friend. We did a road trip in America years ago, and I was trying to take the complication of adulthood out of things and remember how it felt to be eighteen and really not care much and just want to do stupid things." On the Fred Again.. collaboration "I got a chain of texts from him and he referenced really deep cuts from my first record. So I was like, okay, respect, you actually know what's going on here... I find it so funny that what he wanted to use was my pretty intense Derry accent. Even at that level, everybody working on this stuff was so kind and genuine. He genuinely is so obsessed with music, does not stop, always singing into his phone or tapping a table. It's truly an inspirational thing to witness." On seeing Fred and Thomas Bangalter close a show with 'just stand there' "They finished that whole show with 'just stand there' going into 'One More Time' by Daft Punk. At my thirtieth birthday, my friends got it up on their phones. That was crazy. You need to talk about it more." On Irish music right now "It really feels like we're flying as a country musically. The standard of stuff coming out is ridiculous. I just listened to the new Joshua Burnside record, which I think is his best yet. How that and the last CMAT record can be so different and so brilliant, our range is pretty impressive in this country." On Big Thief's Double Infinity https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSqYsmmfbCI "All those songs are three, four chords and pretty simple song structures, and I appreciated the choice of that. 'Incomprehensible' is an all-time Big Thief song. You can hear them laughing in the background, they allow it to be a bit rusty, and that's what I like most." On Mitski "The through line through all of these artists is the honesty of it all, not trying to be a shiny happy person, just all the good, bad, beautiful, ugly. I love that in Mitski's music especially. She's not afraid to be perceived negatively or pathetically. She leans into it and I think it's great." On revisiting old songs "It freaks me out. It's literally like being face to face with your younger self. Sometimes it's too intense emotionally, why I wrote them, what I was feeling when I wrote them. I can't just pop in and out of that. It's a real deep thing." On Ryan Beatty's 'Secret Language'

When Dubliners first saw the multi-tiered, gleaming white, iron and glass shopping centre on St Stephen's Green in the late 1980s, it was quickly nicknamed “the Mississippi showboat” and “the wedding cake”. And in a city that prides itself on its Georgian heritage and its historic buildings, it was seen by some as kitsch, an architectural pastiche and a bit embarrassing. But it grew on others. Now that plans have been approved by Dublin City Council to knock the shopping centre and replace it with a new scheme, a campaign has begun to save the centre.So what is planned to replace it? Why are objectors so against it? And why do so many people have a new appreciation for this “historic” building?Dublin editor Olivia Kelly isn't one to sit on the fence when it comes to how the city is shaping up and she explains her reservations about the plans.Presented by Bernice Harrison.

In this conversation, we catch up with our friends at Strathcona Vineyard, a small, vibrant, multi-ethnic, mixed-socio-economic congregation in the heart of Vancouver's DTES, Canada's poorest urban postcode. Dawn Humphreys, Jamie Hellawell, and James Witwicki share what incarnational ministry means, emphasizing the importance of presence, relationship, and community engagement that levels inequalities and invites people to participate. They share their experiences living in the DTES, and the challenges and rewards of long-term commitment to a community. We touch on the significance of kinship, the need to challenge power dynamics, and the transformative nature of living in proximity to suffering. If you've ever wondered what living in inner city Vancouver will do to your ecclesiology and how you measure success in ministry, listen in, and perhaps embrace the risk of following God's call into this community, or another community like it.Guest BiosDawn Humphreys helped plant Strathcona Vineyard Church 20 years ago and has served as lead pastor for the past 17 years. She was also on the founding team for Jacob's Well, a relationally focused ministry in the DTES, and served on staff there for 11 years until 2012. Dawn is passionate about inspiring and equipping others to engage with God's heart for the poor and oppressed. She has supervised Regent Interns for many years, including during her time at Jacob's Well and at Strathcona Vineyard, and worked part-time as a Pastoral Representative for the M.Div. Program at Regent College for just over two years. She also works as the Engage Catalyst for Vineyard Canada, helping unify efforts in justice and societal impact so Vineyard Churches and the people who belong to these communities can flourish. Before her life in Vancouver, Dawn spent eight years living in various parts of Southeast Asia with St Stephen's Society, an incarnational missional community based in Hong Kong, where she learned the rhythms of faithful presence and how God moves in everyday life. Dawn brings a vital challenge and encouragement to the Church regarding current paradigms of ministry and the empowerment of people on society's margins. Jamie Hellawell has lived in Vancouver's DTES for over 20 years, during which he completed a PhD in philosophy. He served as Associate Pastor at Strathcona Vineyard Church for over 8 years. After completing a master's in counselling, Jamie began working as a counsellor at the end of last year. Jamie loves connecting with people from diverse educational, cultural, and life experiences. Over the years, he has overseen Small Groups, led Bible studies, and discussions exploring the intersection of faith, philosophy, and theology, among many other initiatives. He was also a key part of Strathcona's Housing Project, where derelict houses were renovated into liveable homes for community members, allowing the church to continue offering hospitality. In this work, he drew on his skills as a professional painter, his love of working with his hands and seeing a project through to completion. Jamie is married to April, who has her own counselling practice, and together they have three daughters. Jamie brings a compassionate and steady leadershiRegent College PodcastThanks for listening.

"Every single workshop I give is all about excellence, singing well, singing properly, and achieving the very best we can achieve. Why do we it? We don't do it because we'll be paid millions and millions of pounds. It's not cash-motivated. We do it because there is a higher purpose, a higher calling that makes us do it. I got offered a graduate scheme at university, so I could have been a corporate sellout. I'd probably arguably work less hours than I do in music, but I didn't do that. I don't have any regrets, because on an evening, I go home, I look myself in the mirror, and I can say to myself, 'we did some good stuff today.'"Caius Lee began as a chorister at Bradford Cathedral at 11 and became the Cathedral Organ Scholar at 15. At age 17, he joined Leeds Cathedral, concurrently holding the Idlewild Conducting Scholarship and Cathedral Organ Scholarship, and was appointed Assistant Organist a year later, where he was the Diocesean Organist & Director of Music for the Lourdes annual pilgrimage and he studied Music as the Neville Burston Organ Scholar at St Catharine's College, University of Cambridge. While at the university, he founded the Florence International Singing Programme, which holds several courses yearly and has sung at prestigious churches, including Westminster Abbey, St Paul's Cathedral, Saint Sulpice, Florence Cathedral, and the Vatican. For the Addamus Choral Programme Caius Lee conducts the internationally acclaimed College Choir and Boys' Choir as well as The Jericho Youth Choir and the All Sorts Community Choir. He is also responsible for a wide range of collegiate, community, and outreach initiatives, curating Music at Worcester College at the University of Oxford, including The Oxford Choral Experience, a groundbreaking instrument learning scheme, and guest lecturer as part of Institute of Sacred Music run by the University, St Stephen's House, and The Royal School of Church Music. He has worked with choirs, festivals and played solo recitals in Europe, Asia and South America. Caius's musical journey is marked by numerous collaborations that have enriched his work and excited audiences. He has conducted, played, and sang on BBC Radio (1, 2, 3 & 4), and made numerous TV appearances on BBC's Songs of Praise, and live Christmas and Easter TV broadcasts on BBC1. His commitment to community engagement and choral excellence has been recognised with a Royal Society of Arts Fellowship and a keynote speech at the 2022 National Music Teachers Association Conference.To get in touch with Caius, you can find the Addamus Choral Programme on Facebook (@addamuschoralprogramme) or Instagram (@addamus_official) or email him at caius.lee@worc.ox.ac.uk. Email choirfampodcast@gmail.com to contact our hosts.Podcast music from Podcast.coPhoto in episode artwork by Trace Hudson

A kinsman of the Apostle Paul, the Holy Stephen was one of the seven deacons (with Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas and Nicolas) first appointed by the Church to minister to the people; and it pleased God to receive him as the Church's first Martyr for Christ. Read the long, beautiful and edifying account of his witness in the Acts of the Apostles, chapters 6-8. When Stephen, "full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people," (Acts 6:8), some members of a synagogue in Jerusalem came to dispute with him and, enraged by his proclamation of Christ, stoned him to death. In his death St Stephen revealed Christ's erasure of the boundary between heaven and earth, and the new communion between man and God: his face shone with the light of the Transfiguration, and he was granted a vision of Christ enthroned at the Father's right hand. His dying words were "Lord, lay not this sin to their charge" (Acts 7:60).   According to holy tradition, the martyrdom of St Stephen occurred exactly a year after the descent of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. His body was taken and secretly buried by Gamaliel, a member of the Sanhendrin and secretly a Christian.   Saint Stephen's relics were discovered by the priest Lucian in 415 following a vision. They were translated to the church built for them in Jerusalem by the Empress Eudocia, and later taken to Constantinople.   The Saint's missionary speech before his death (like that of the deacon St Philip to the Ethiopian eunuch) reminds us that those appointed to serve the Church materially are not barred, or even excused, from proclaiming the glorious Gospel of Christ.

Friends of the Rosary,Today, December 26th, one day after the joyful celebration of the nativity of Jesus, is the feast of St. Stephen, the first martyr and deacon. Above all things, even life itself, we love Christ the Lord, as St. Stephen showed us.As we read in the Acts of the Apostles today (6:8-10; 7:54-59), when he, thrown out of the city, was about to be stoned, Stephen, "filled with the Holy Spirit, looked up intently to heaven and saw the glory of God and Jesus standing at the right hand of God."St. Stephen showed perfect conformity to Christ. He said, "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit; do not hold this sin against them."Merry Christmas!(Until the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord Sunday, January 11, 2026, marking the conclusion of the Christmas season and the beginning of Jesus' public ministry).Ave MariaCome, 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!

Morning Prayer for today with a reading from the Psalms, the New Testament, and the Gospel, with meditation music from ”Inner Voices” and ”In Beauty We Return,” by R. Carlos Nakai. Courtesy Canyon Records, Phoenix, AZ (800)-268-1141. All rights reserved.

He seems to have lived in Constantinople for his entire life, but lived there as if in the desert, devoting himself entirely to solitude, fasting and prayer. For most of his adult life he ate only a few vegetables without salt once or twice a week; by his prayers many miracles were wrought in the City.   In time he was made a priest and served in the church of St Antipas, where he lived in seclusion. When the church was destroyed in the earthquake of 879, he withdrew to a dank pit in the ruins where the air was so unwholesome that he lost his hair and teeth and was almost paralyzed. He only emerged from this ascesis after twelve years. Thereafter he served the Divine Liturgy only on Feasts of the Lord, allowing himself some water and fruit after the service; otherwise he spent his time alone in silent prayer. He reposed in peace in 912 at the age of seventy-three.
