La Porta | Renungan Harian Katolik - Daily Meditation according to Catholic Church liturgy
Delivered by Ria from the Parish of Good Shepherd in the Diocese of Surabaya, Indonesia. 2 Corinthians 4: 7-15; Rs psalm 116: 10-11.15-16.17-18; Matius 5: 27-32.LANGUAGES OF THE SPIRIT The theme of our meditation today is:Languages of The Spirit. The Basilica of St. Anthony is located at the heart ofthe city of Padua, in the Northern Italy. Visitors come from all over the worldall the time to see and experience its beauty. Tourists can find it easy to getto the center by means of available transportation and road guidance leading tothe Basilica. Free access internet can make them comfotable to stay longer inthe city. There was a visitor from Indonesiaeven wanted to extend his stay in that city of Saint Anthony. Every day hefirst went to visit the Basilica of St. Anthony then to other tourist attractions.He was so happy walking from the big city park to the basilica when with thefree access wifi he was able to have video calls with his familyat home inIndonesia. As he felt at home in the city of the follower of Saint Francis ofAssisi, he decided to spend some more days that he could enjoy all theconveniences offered by that wonderful city. Anthony of Padua is not only a holyman. He is also famous as a clever person, a realiable preacher of faith, and awise teacher. One of his famous sermons is about the languages of the HolySpirit. These languages help every follower of Christ to communicate and relateto other people and the environment. He says that someone who is filled withthe Holy Spirit is able to speak in a variety of different languages. Thesedifferent languages are various ways to bear witness to Jesus Christ. Jesushimself says in the Gospel of John that the Holy Spirit has the duty to bearwitness of Himself and the Father in heaven. The languages of the Spirit refer tohumility, poverty, simplicity, patience, obedience, perseverance, generosityand other Christian virtues. We speak in different languages when we usethese virtues in ourselves and we practice them as we relate and interact withour neighbours. This means that our actions speak more powerful than our words.Your words should teach and your actions speak. For the one who is full ofwords but empty in actions will be punished by God like the fig tree that doesnot bear any fruit and the Lord was about to punish it. Jesus emphasizes that anger is a sinof killing. This is certainly against the language of the Spirit as SaintAnthony teaches us. Anger or hatred is the opposition of the love of Christ. SaintPaul says that the light of God shines in our hearts to enable us to proclaimHis glory to the whole world. The light of God is the gift of the Holy Spirit alreadyplanted and is growing in us. Let's pray. In the name of theFather … O Jesus Christ our Good Lord and Teacher, may we be more eloquent inusing the languages of Your Spirit. Our Father who art in heaven... In thename of the Father …
In this episode, Niall asks: Are Portugal's new dress rules for tourists over the top?As Portugal and other tourist hotspots crack down on visitors walking around in bikinis or bare-chested away from the beach, hefty fines are being introduced to curb what locals see as disrespectful behaviour.Some callers argued the rules are too strict, saying tourists just want to relax and enjoy their holidays. If it's near the beach and not offensive, they said locals should be more understanding, especially in areas that rely on tourism.Others supported the new measures, saying tourists often forget they are guests in someone else's community. They believe beachwear belongs on the beach, and showing respect while abroad is basic decency.As Niall points out, this isn't just a debate about clothing. It's about whether tourism should adapt to local cultures or expect them to adapt in return.

Good news for tourism operators in Milford Sound, as the Government rejects plans to ban cruise ships More than $15 million has been invested into infrastructure and conservation upgrades in Milford Sound.

Since the turn of the year, Gary and Hannah have been travelling across South East Asia and worldwide, speaking at various travel conferences. So, this week, we've compiled a long list of the most ubiquitous concepts, words and phrases we've encountered on stage and in the venue break-out spaces and receptions. We discuss the current contexts around popular buzzwords such as Authentic Experiences, Hyper-Personalisation, Seamless Trips and Frictionless Travel. We wonder where the Visa-Free Access debate goes next, and applaud the greater integration of Muslim Tourism themes into travel conference planning. Of course, we can't leave out Over-tourism, Agentic AI, Gen Zs, Digital Arrival Cards and Chatbots, and we make a forecast about how Trump Tariffs will be discussed in a travel context across the rest of 2025.

Scientists think they might have found a planet that is "brimming with life," and we're pretty sure whoever lives there is way smarter than earthlings. We learn about a climber who had to be rescued twice in one week because he forgot his phone on the mountain. And we discuss a vintage story about a hiker who was lost and couldn't be rescued because when first responders called him he didn't pick up because he didn't recognize the number. We debate whether it was appropriate for a tennis player to tell her opponent to put on deodorant. We discuss the Oklahoma City bombing documentary, and how hearing the stories of the survivors helped portray the scope of loss. Susie is worried about a kind of hornet that is making its home in her town, and Sarah thinks they might be government drones or psyops. A town in Finland calls itself the home of Santa, but residents are fed up with all the tourists. We consider the backlash about tourism around the world and what's really driving it.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comConnect with us on social media:BCP Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastSusie's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterSarah's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBCP on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodSponsors:Cancel your unwanted subscriptions and reach your financial goals faster at https://rocketmoney.com/braincandyVisit https://shopbeam.com/braincandy and use code BRAINCANDY to get our exclusive discount of up to 35% off.For 50% off your order, head to https://www.dailylook.com and use code BRAINCANDYGet 40% off your first box PLUS get a free item in every box for life.

Glendalough is one of Ireland's most iconic and picturesque destinations. Its medieval monastery and stunning mountain landscape attract around one million tourists every year. However behind the postcard-perfect scenery lies a history that rarely makes it into the tourist brochures.In this episode, I veer off the well-trodden paths to uncover the real stories of Glendalough: stories of violence, exploitation, and transformation that have shaped the valley for centuries. This includes its early medieval history as a 'military industrial complex' and a very special interview with Robbie Carter - a former lead miner in the area.This episode will change the way you see one of Ireland's most famous historic sites.The podcast features Frank Tracy, Graeme Warren, Margaret Duff Garvey Pat Reid and Robbie Carter.

Ridgeway's new album Sprinter is an adrenalized blast of hook-filled rock and roll, howling blues and scruffy pop that's one of the most refreshing listens of the year. A commanding presence with charisma to burn, Ridgeway, along with her band the Tourists, are full of a howling punk-rock electricity that summons everyone from the White Stripes to the Foo Fighters. Now Ridgeway is a self-taught musician who plays harmonica, trumpet, trombone, mandolin, bass, piano and guitar and that's incredibly impressive, but having spoken to her, she has an autodidact streak that runs through her life. Hence the reference I made to coffee earlier, but I'll let Cat tell you all about that. Named Orlando's Best Singer-Songwriter for the last three years, Ridgeway has played with Houndmouth, Arcade Fire and Lucy Dacus and she's no stranger to playing music festivals around the country. She's a typhoon of positive energy and you're going to love her. www.catridgewaymusic.com (http://www.catridgewaymusic.com) www.stereoembersmagazine.com www.bombshellradio.com (http://www.bombshellradio.com) www.alexgreenbooks.com (http://www.alexgreenbooks.com) Stereo Embers Bluesky + IG: @emberspodcast Email: editor@stereoembersmagazine.com
President Trump may have taken a softer tone in his meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney this week, but whether that will quell the anger and bring Canadians back to the U.S remains to be seen. California tourism experts cite Trump's trade policies and nationalist rhetoric for a projected 9% drop in international travelers this summer, with the sharpest declines among Canadian and Mexican tourists who spend more here than tourists from any other country. We look at how the Trump administration is affecting California tourism and hear from you: Has anyone told you they won't be visiting the U.S. this year?
