Podcasts about Thy Will

God is the Supreme Being, and therefore, He is One. Inside God, there are three divine Persons, who are One God. Only one divine nature, but three divine Persons, possessing this one divine nature. In the gospel today, Jesus impresses on us His oneness with His Father. In their being, they are one. But more than that, Jesus teaches us, His followers, that we need to imitate this oneness with God. We achieve this by doing His Will, or by being united to His Will, like when Jesus prayed in Gethsemane, "...not my Will but Thy will done..." We pray, in fact, in the Lord's Prayer, "...Thy Will be done on Earth, as it is in Heaven..."

Thy Will or My Will? Psalm 51:5

Today's Topics: 1) Gospel - Matthew 6:7-15 - Jesus said to His disciples: "In praying, do not babble like the pagans, who think that they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them. Your Father knows what you need before you ask Him. "This is how you are to pray: Our Father Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy Name, Thy Kingdom come, Thy Will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. "If you forgive men their transgressions, your heavenly Father will forgive you. But if you do not forgive men, neither will your Father forgive your transgressions." Bishop Sheen quote of the day 2) Is Papal authority over Liturgy absolute https://wdtprs.com/2025/03/is-papal-authority-over-liturgy-absolute/ 3) Bishops burning bridges https://crisismagazine.com/opinion/bishops-burning-bridges 4) It's time we stop singing about ourselves at Mass https://crisismagazine.com/opinion/its-time-we-stop-singing-about-ourselves-at-mass

Read OnlineJesus said to his disciples: “In praying, do not babble like the pagans, who think that they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them. Matthew 6:7–8Recall that Jesus used to go off by Himself at times and spend the whole night in prayer. Thus, it's clear that Jesus is in favor of long and sincere times of prayer, since He gave us His own example as a lesson. But there is clearly a difference between that which our Lord did all night and that which He criticized the pagans for doing when they “babble” with many words. After this criticism of the prayer of the pagans, Jesus gives us the “Our Father” prayer as a model for our personal prayer.The Our Father prayer begins by addressing God in a deeply personal way. That is, God is not just an all-powerful cosmic being. He is personal, familial—He is our Father. Jesus continues the prayer by instructing us to honor our Father by proclaiming His holiness, His hallowedness. God and God alone is the Holy One from which all holiness of life derives. As we acknowledge the holiness of the Father, we must also acknowledge Him as King and seek His Kingship for our lives and for the world. This is accomplished only when His perfect will is done “on earth as it is in Heaven.” This perfect prayer concludes by acknowledging that God is the source of all of our daily needs, including the forgiveness of our sins and protection from all evil.Upon the completion of this prayer of perfection, Jesus provides a context in which this and every prayer must be prayed. He says, “If you forgive men their transgressions, your heavenly Father will forgive you. But if you do not forgive men, neither will your Father forgive your transgressions.” Prayer will only be effective if we allow it to change us and make us more like the Father in Heaven. Therefore, if we want our prayer of forgiveness to be effective, then we must live what we pray for. We must also forgive others so that God will forgive us.Reflect, today, upon this perfect prayer, the Our Father. One temptation is that we can become so familiar with this prayer that we gloss over its true meaning. If that happens, then we will find that we are praying it more like the pagans who simply babble the words. But if we humbly and sincerely understand and mean every word, then we can be certain that our prayer will become more like that of our Lord's. Saint Ignatius of Loyola recommends pondering every word of that prayer very slowly, one word at a time. Try to pray this way, today, and allow the Our Father to move from babbling to authentic communication with the Father in Heaven. Our Father, Who art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy Will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.  Jesus, I trust in You.  Image: Jm kaelin, CC BY-SA 4.0, via Wikimedia CommonsSource of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2025 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.

The Lord's Prayer is answered by Christ in the incarnation and parallels and echoes the prayer of Mary and Zacharias as each of us become the bearers of the incarnate Christ through freely carrying out "Thy Will" in enacting the Kingdom of God on Earth.  Sign up for the upcoming class, "Lonergan & the Problem of Theological Method": "Bernard Lonergan, SJ (1904 - 1984) came to see the development of a modern scholarly method for theology as one of the most pressing challenges of 20th-century Christian thought. This course follows how Lonergan's view of theological method as a task and a problem developed on the way to his 1972 book, Method in Theology, and its major breakthrough: functional specialization." The course will run from the weeks of February 16th to April 11th.  Register here https://pbi.forgingploughshares.org/offerings) If you enjoyed this podcast, please consider donating to support our work.

We pray, "Thy Will be Done on earth as it is In Heaven," but what does that mean exactly?

After an awesome service last Sunday, we are ready for more manna from above! We are focusing on the Lord's Prayer right now and the responses from our people has been so supportive. God is truly speaking and that's what we are talking about today - How to hear His voice. The phrase we are fixed upon is, “Thy Will be Done”. To know God's will for our lives, we need to know how to hear His voice. 

It is time for us to put aside childish things and grow up as citizens of this planet.  We have a responsibility to take our place in the cosmos and be an example of living in heaven on earth, as Jesus taughty his disciples to pray:  Our Father which art in heaven:   Hallowed be Thy Name.  Thy Kingdom come, Thy Will be done, on earth, as it is in many other places in your grand cosmos.

Ismael Fierro and his wife Vanessa prepared for three years--and even learned French--to move from Mexico to Canada. However, when the time came to go, Ismael's company didn't offer him a job in Canada--they unexpectedly invited him to work in Nashville, Tennessee. Ismael learned to let go of his own plan and surrender to God's will. He prayed, “Let me be the person you dreamt of when you created me.” Soon thereafter, Ismael, Vanessa and their two small children landed in the Nashville airport to create a home in a country they didn't know with a language they didn't speak. Ismael sensed God with him in a sacred moment he will never forget.  In this Easter podcast, be inspired as Ismael shares what “Thy Will be Done” in the Our Father means to him, as well as his love for Saint Joseph and the Surrender Novena.  May we, like Ismael, always invoke the Holy Spirit in prayer and surrender our lives to God's will.       

Episode 189. Thy Will be Done. Lord's Prayer Part 5 Jesus turns from our prayer for God to prayer for ourselves, and we begin with "bread." Clearly bread means more than just bread, but what exactly? Today we discuss what this petition teaches us about ourselves, about our need for one another, and about our posture in prayer. Also: Gray has some thoughts about low-carb diets. We also have an opportunity to talk with Dr. Sutanto about his recently released book.

Episode 188. Thy Will be Done. Lord's Prayer Part 5 We round out our discussion of the first half of the Lord's Prayer this week by discussing that nature of God's providence. In his wisdom he has chosen to incorporate us, and our prayers, into the working out of his grand design. How does that impact what we pray about? How does it "work" theologically? And what does this petition tell us about God's work and wisdom? More about RTS: rts.edu/campuses/washington-dc/ Donate: give2rtsdc.com/

When you search for me, you will find me. When you seek me with all your heart, I will allow you to discover me, says the Lord. I will restore your fortunes and gather you from all the nations and from all the places where I have driven you, says the Lord, and I will bring you back to the place from which I sent you into exile."  -Jeremiah, Chapter 29, verses 11-14.

Let this prayer, then, be your Mantra: "Jesus, I Trust in You. Thy Will be Done." "We must say "no" to such thoughts constantly invading our minds and hearts. Instead of letting these thoughts invade our minds we must, rather, implement practical ways of ensuring that we are constantly in a state of recollection, peace, and prayer.

"-Mandean Prayer Book 153; cf. CPM p.133 Our Father, Who art in heaven,  Hallowed be Thy Name.  Thy Kingdom come.  Thy Will be done,  on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread.  And forgive us our trespasses,  as we forgive those who trespass against us.  And lead us not into temptation,  but deliver us from evil. Amen. 'The Lord's Prayer 'is truly the summary of the whole gospel.' 'Since the Lord... after handling over the practice of prayer, said elsewhere, 'Ask and you will receive, ' and since everyone has petitions which are peculiar to his circumstances, the regular and appropriate prayer (the Lord's Prayer) is said first, as the foundation of further desires.'"-- Tertullian, De orat.  from the Catechism of the Catholic Church; 2761 "When my Lord comes I am beside myself. For there comes with Him such sweet Melody that all carnal desire within me dies: And His sweet Music puts far from me all sorrow of heart."-Mechthild of Magdeburg, Flowing Light of the Godhead II:3; cf. RMM pp.29-30 "I live by faith in God. My power is God. I do not believe in any other power. As I concentrate on that Power, It works through me.. That power of God is working with you also. You will see it is so if you have faith and know that prosperity comes not from material sources but from God." - Yogananda   

Though Saint Faustina and many other great saints entered into a unique spiritual darkness, defined by St. John of the Cross as the “Dark Night of the Soul” and the “Dark Night of the Spirit,” we all will experience a certain “darkness” of one form or another in our walk of faith. Our darkness may not be the result of the extraordinary purification of the soul that takes place on the journey toward perfection, but our response must be the same. No matter what we go through in life, when challenges arise we must speak the words spoken by the great saints, “Thy Will be done!” Holiness is all about doing the Will of God despite any confusion or apparent obstacle in our lives (See Diary #1237).Reflect upon the level of conviction you pray that prayer, “Thy Will be done!” Do you mean this? Can you say it with all the powers of your mind, will and soul? Have you chosen the Will of God above everything else in life? Embracing the Will of God in times of trial is especially fruitful for a life of faith. When temptations set in, especially temptations toward despair, you must reaffirm your commitment to God's perfect Will. Reflect upon this holy act today. Say those words and mean them as completely as you can. Nothing in life should ever deter you from making this your daily prayer.Lord, may Your Will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven! I make this my prayer today. I offer it to You with complete confidence and total surrender. I choose You above all things and make Your Will my own. I love You, my Lord. Jesus, I trust in You.Source of content: www.divinemercy.lifeCopyright © 2023 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved. Used with permission via RSS feed.

Thy Will

Thy Will

The Lord's Prayer is a model prayer taught by Jesus to his disciples.

Stability of place leads to and protects internal emotional and spiritual stability. One must not be tempted to change one's external environment; thinking that somehow another place holds greater promise for producing virtue within our hearts. Such thoughts must be tested over the course of many years and placed before one's spiritual elder for scrutiny. Often the evil one will seek to draw us along another path because we are being afflicted or frustrated or our self-esteem is being diminished in some fashion. We must keep our focus upon Christ in the midst of this battle. He alone is the wholly innocent One. He did not flee the Cross that was set before him and ultimately gave his assent to the Father's will. Our faith and hope in God and what he can bring about by his providence and grace must be our guiding light.   ---   Text of chat during the group:   00:08:00 FrDavid Abernethy: page 336, Letter C   00:48:34 Ashley Kaschl: What you said about scripture where Jesus asks “do you want to be well?” reminded me of a part of the Surrender Novena to the Sacred Heart: “In pain you pray for me to act, but that I act in the way you want. You do not turn to me, instead, you want me to adapt to your ideas. You are not sick people who ask the doctor to cure you, but rather sick people who tell the doctor how to.”   00:52:55 Louise: Could it be that Theodora fully accepted this ordeal because she had previously deceived the monks of the monastery in believing that she was a man? Thus, this was a just punishment by God, which she embraced.   00:55:59 Louise: I see.   01:02:11 John Ingram: Not sure where this poem came from, but on the subject of spiritual pride, here is one stanza:   01:03:47 John Ingram: "And when the prayer unto my lips doth rise/"Let me but offer Thee some glorious sacrifice/Let me accomplish some great work for Thee!"/Subdue it, Lord, let my petition be Make me but useful in this world of Thine/In ways according to Thy Will, not mine."   01:05:00 Louise: Father, would you see anorexia as an ego-based asceticism driven by diabolical obsession?   01:05:30 John Ingram: No idea!   01:07:05 Paul Fifer: Found the poem….

When things aren't working out, most of us white-knuckle the wheel and believe we can think our way out of the problem. This episode's guest is teaching you how to surrender. Cyntoia Brown-Long shares her UNBELIEVABLE testimony of being convicted of murder, trying to THINK her way out of prison, and then finding a level of spiritual surrender few of us ever reach. After 15 total years behind bars, she walked out of prison a free woman in a totally IMPOSSIBLE situation where every door had closed. Her attorneys were baffled, but Cyntoia was not. She always knew she would be set free. How the heck did that happen? In this episode Cyntoia details a remarkable story of LETTING GO and LETTING GOD. Get ready for the unapologetically spiritual and inspirational conversation we all need right now.

Jesus said to his disciples: “In praying, do not babble like the pagans, who think that they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them. Matthew 6:7–8Recall that Jesus used to go off by Himself at times and spend the whole night in prayer. Thus, it's clear that Jesus is in favor of long and sincere times of prayer, since He gave us His own example as a lesson. But there is clearly a difference between that which our Lord did all night and that which He criticized the pagans for doing when they “babble” with many words. After this criticism of the prayer of the pagans, Jesus gives us the “Our Father” prayer as a model for our personal prayer.The Our Father prayer begins by addressing God in a deeply personal way. That is, God is not just an all-powerful cosmic being. He is personal, familial—He is our Father. Jesus continues the prayer by instructing us to honor our Father by proclaiming His holiness, His hallowedness. God and God alone is the Holy One from which all holiness of life derives. As we acknowledge the holiness of the Father, we must also acknowledge Him as King and seek His Kingship for our lives and for the world. This is accomplished only when His perfect will is done “on earth as it is in Heaven.” This perfect prayer concludes by acknowledging that God is the source of all of our daily needs, including the forgiveness of our sins and protection from all evil.Upon the completion of this prayer of perfection, Jesus provides a context in which this and every prayer must be prayed. He says, “If you forgive men their transgressions, your heavenly Father will forgive you. But if you do not forgive men, neither will your Father forgive your transgressions.” Prayer will only be effective if we allow it to change us and make us more like the Father in Heaven. Therefore, if we want our prayer of forgiveness to be effective, then we must live what we pray for. We must also forgive others so that God will forgive us.Reflect, today, upon this perfect prayer, the Our Father. One temptation is that we can become so familiar with this prayer that we gloss over its true meaning. If that happens, then we will find that we are praying it more like the pagans who simply babble the words. But if we humbly and sincerely understand and mean every word, then we can be certain that our prayer will become more like that of our Lord's. Saint Ignatius of Loyola recommends pondering every word of that prayer very slowly, one word at a time. Try to pray this way, today, and allow the Our Father to move from babbling to authentic communication with the Father in Heaven.Our Father, Who art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy Will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen. Jesus, I trust in You.Source of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2023 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.

So you've recently gotten some direction from the Lord. Now how do you live by it? You may be feeling motivated and inspired early on, but that doesn't last forever, so how can you be a good steward of the word? It's all about relieving the tension between "Thy Will" and "My Will."

In this homily given at St. Patrick's on January 1st, 2023, Dcn. Patrick McDonald speaks about the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God that we celebrate today which is the oldest Marian feast day. He reminds us of the great example Mary gives to us in her "Yes" to God, and how even though Mary had faith in God when she gave her assent, there is no way she could have completely understood the extent of it at that time. Rather, each step of the way through Jesus's public ministry, crucifixion, and death, she had to reassert that "Yes" of the Annunciation even more deeply. The same goes for us -- when we say "Yes" to our Lord, it is not a one time "Yes", but it is a daily reaffirming of "Thy Will be Done."

Though Saint Faustina and many other great saints entered into a unique spiritual darkness, defined by St. John of the Cross as the “Dark Night of the Soul” and the “Dark Night of the Spirit,” we all will experience a certain “darkness” of one form or another in our walk of faith.  Our darkness may not be the result of the extraordinary purification of the soul that takes place on the journey toward perfection, but our response must be the same.  No matter what we go through in life, when challenges arise we must speak the words spoken by the great saints, “Thy Will be done!”  Holiness is all about doing the Will of God despite any confusion or apparent obstacle in our lives (See Diary #1237).Reflect upon the level of conviction you pray that prayer, “Thy Will be done!”  Do you mean this?  Can you say it with all the powers of your mind, will and soul?  Have you chosen the Will of God above everything else in life?  Embracing the Will of God in times of trial is especially fruitful for a life of faith.  When temptations set in, especially temptations toward despair, you must reaffirm your commitment to God's perfect Will.  Reflect upon this holy act today.  Say those words and mean them as completely as you can.  Nothing in life should ever deter you from making this your daily prayer.Lord, may Your Will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven!  I make this my prayer today.  I offer it to You with complete confidence and total surrender.  I choose You above all things and make Your Will my own.  I love You, my Lord.  Jesus, I trust in You.Source of content: www.divinemercy.lifeCopyright © 2022 My Catholic Life!

Friends of the Rosary: The living and the loving God made us for the perfect live in Heaven, as it was before the Adan‘s and Eve's fall and the aftermath consequences of the original sin. God's Will, be it easy or hard, pleasant or disagreeable, works for the good of our eternal soul. The Holy Trinity wants us gain the perfect joy in Heaven. For this reason, the Lord places us at times in spiritual darkness of doubts and confusion. Then again, He let us enjoy the truth of His light. One day, He consoles us, and on the next day we might find life hard and sorrowful. God knows our most important needs, and His hand is guiding us. We thank the Divinity for whatever He decides to send us. Thy Will be done! Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! St. Alphonsus Liguori, Pray for Us! + Mikel A. | RosaryNetwork.com, New York • August 1, 2021, Today's Holy Rosary on YouTube — Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET

Eleanor Goldfield recently spoke with former leader of the Feminist Initiative party in Sweden, Farida al-Abani. They discussed the supposedly “neutral” country's militaristic tendencies– from the push to join NATO to being one of the world's largest weapons exporters. Farida al-Abani also shares her personal experiences with NATO as a Libyan as well as her professional struggles for peace in the din of ever crescendoing war drums. In the second segment, Mickey talks with attorney and author Charlotte Dennett about her latest book, Follow the Pipelines, which explores the pervasive role that oil and gas have played in politics and war, in both the 20th and 21st centuries right up to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Notes: Born in Libya, Farida al-Abani was brought to Sweden at an early age, grew up there, and became a leader in the Feminist Initiative party. Charlotte Dennett is an attorney and author, and the daughter of a US intelligence official who died while on assignment in the Middle East just after WWII. Her previous books include The People vs. Bush and Thy Will be Done. The Conquest of the Amazon: Nelson Rockefeller and Evangelism in the Age of Oil with Gerard Colby.
