We've seen how the sacraments re-present what Christ worked for us in his Passion and death, but the Catechism also explains to us how the sacraments prefigure our eternal inheritance in heaven. Fr. Mike uses this “nugget day” as an opportunity to ensure we understand what the sacraments are and what they're for. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 1130-1134. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

Jesus uses his sacraments to save his people. The Catechism proclaims that the sacraments are “efficacious”, the sacraments are “wrought…by the power of God” alone, and the sacraments are “necessary for salvation”. Fr. Mike doubles down on the reality that sacraments cause what they signify. They are not merely signs pointing to an already present reality—Jesus, himself, is at work in each and every expression of the sacraments throughout time and in all places. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 1127-1129.

En Tunisie, un nouveau festival de Jazz, Jazz'it Festival, s'est tenu du 31 mai au 1er juin, attirant plusieurs centaines de spectateurs. Au-delà des concerts de musiciens internationaux, les organisateurs du festival ont également voulu donner une chance aux jeunes talents tunisiens d'assister à des masterclass et de commencer à produire leur musique. Dans le pays, le jazz réunit une grande communauté de passionnés depuis les années 1960. Devant un public de jeunes musiciens tunisiens, le guitariste américain Mark Whitfield présente une masterclass. Au programme, conseils et exemples de composition. Pour Malek Lakhoua, musicien de jazz et organisateur du festival avec le label Jazzit Records, il s'agit de perpétuer une tradition de culture du jazz en Tunisie qui avait commencé avec le festival de jazz à Tabarka en 1968.« J'ai grandi dans cette ambiance de masterclass, "d'aftershow". Pour moi, c'est la liberté que véhicule cette musique, l'union. C'est ce que l'on veut véhiculer à travers ce festival », explique l'organisateur, qui souhaite aider la scène jazz tunisienne à se renforcer. « Pour nous, la scène n'est pas assez structurée, il n'y a pas de label. Les circonstances, l'environnement, il est presque hostile pour la création d'un label. Économiquement, c'est difficile, la distribution est très compliquée, le manque de festivals. Il y a beaucoup de défis par rapport à cela », regrette-t-il.« Je cherche toujours des masterclass ou des sessions de jam pour apprendre et m'inspirer. Surtout que, malgré les quelques maîtres tunisiens du jazz, ce n'est pas vraiment une musique qu'on apprend au conservatoire. Il n'y a pas de formation, c'est un apprentissage un peu autodidacte », estime quant à lui Neder, 24 ans, qui improvise avec ses camarades à la guitare.Si le jazz reste confidentiel en Tunisie, une jeune génération de musiciens, espère percer dans le pays, comme Ahmed Dridi 29 ans, originaire de Zaghouan au nord de la Tunisie. « On est motivés, même si la culture du jazz n'est pas hyper répandue. Mais c'est plus par ignorance que manque d'intérêt pour cette musique. Par exemple, moi, si j'invite des amis à voir des live de musiciens jazz, au début, ils viennent sans connaître nécessairement et après, ils reviennent. Avec les jeunes, une communauté d'amateurs se crée aussi », raconte-t-il.Et pour encourager cette dynamique, le jeune musicien Aymen Dhifaoui, 27 ans et originaire de Kairouan, est monté sur scène pour échanger quelques sons de guitare avec le légendaire Mark Whitfield à la clôture du festival.À écouter aussiL'épopée des musiques noires: David «Yacouba» Jacob revitalise ses origines béninoises
Pastor Al Dagel wants us to realize that we can understand prophecies regarding Jesus Christ more clearly than the prophets themselves did.
The Catechism makes clear to us that evangelization and the sacraments go hand in hand. An ancient saying is highlighted, linking the two: lex orandi, lex credendi—or, the law of prayer is the law of faith. Fr. Mike illustrates this connection by showing us that, when you change the sign that points to an invisible reality, you risk changing where it's pointing. This is why “no sacramental rite may be modified or manipulated at the will of the minister or the community.” Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 1122-1126. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

In the story of Peter's vision of eating unclean food, we see how the gospel of Christ saves undeserving men and changes the prejudice in our hearts.
The Catechism introduces the seven sacraments that Christ offers the Church: Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist, Reconciliation, Anointing of the Sick, Holy Orders, and Matrimony. The Catechism highlights the fact that the sacraments are “by the Church” because the Church is “Christ's action at work”, and they are “for the Church” because they “manifest and communicate to men…the mystery of communion with the God who is love.” Fr. Mike focuses on the fact that while ministerial priests administer many of the sacraments, their priesthood is at the service of the baptismal priesthood, into which all of the baptized are ordained. Today's readings are from Catechism paragraphs 1113-1121. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

Some Psalms are filled with praise! Today, Pastor Al Dagel shares a psalm that fits that description.
At the heart of the Liturgy of the Eucharist is the epiclesis, when the priest begs the Holy Spirit to come and transform the bread and wine into the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Christ. The Catechism explains this mysterious reality, and Fr. Mike reiterates that the Mass is not a repetition of Christ's once-and-for-all sacrifice, but a re-presentation and celebration of his eternal sacrifice on the Cross. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 1104-1112.

The Portland Art Museum Center for an Untold Tomorrow (PAM CUT) has acquired the Tomorrow Theater in South East Portland, and is curating 25 unique events a month and over 250 unique events a year. Most of the experiences are grounded within the cinematic tradition, but there are usually ways that they are adding more levels of participation, community-building, and immersion. Portland Art Museum will be expanding in November to add even more immersive art and immersive storytelling programming as a part of their Plus Plus month-long festival, and the Tomorrow Theater is serving to onboard Portland audiences into the beginning steps of more immersive, experiential, participatory, and social types of entertainment. I had a chance to speak with director Amy Dotson to get a lot more context of how PAM CUT came about, and their vision for where they want to take it in the future.

May 30th, 2025 - With guest host Michael Hichborn we welcome back Dr. Anthony Stine from Return to Tradition to catch up on Catholic news from the past week, and much more. Includes the full Aftershow conversation. TheStationOfTheCross.com/ACT
Tradition matters — in martial arts and in life. It teaches discipline, respect, and perseverance. Old-school practices like kata still have value, even if modern systems move away from them. Tradition connects us — like family meals and passed-down customs — helping us stay grounded. Be present — Tim ties in the four dimensions (height, width, depth, time) to explain how being mindful of posture and breath can keep us aware in both martial arts and daily life. Life is short — every breath matters, so walk with confidence and make each day count.
Fr. Mike examines how the Holy Spirit recalls the mystery of Christ. We explore how the Holy Spirit both inspires the Word of God and recalls the Word of God. Fr. Mike emphasizes that it is the Holy Spirit that helps us hear and understand God's Word. It is the Holy Spirit that helps elicit a response of consent and commitment within us.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss Korea's brief but significant period as an empire as it moved from the 500-year-old dynastic Joseon monarchy towards modernity. It was in October 1897 that King Gojong declared himself Emperor, seizing his chance when the once-dominant China lost to Japan in the First Sino-Japanese War. The king wanted to have the same status as the neighbouring Russian, Chinese and Japanese Emperors, to shore up a bid for Korean independence and sovereignty when the world's major powers either wanted to open Korea up to trade or to colonise it.

Together, with Fr. Mike, we continue our examination of the sacramental economy, specifically the Holy Spirit's work in the liturgy. Fr. Mike emphasizes that what Jesus makes possible, the Holy Spirit makes actual. We are made to live in the life of the risen Christ and that is what the Spirit brings about in us. Fr. Mike concludes with a reflection on the importance of understanding that the Christian Liturgy springs from and fulfills the Jewish Liturgy. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 1091-1098.

Mere Fidelity is back! Welcome to Mere Fidelity 2.0: A Mere Orthodoxy Podcast. Hosts Derek Rishmawy, Alastair Roberts, Brad East, and James Wood dive into the major news of Pope Francis's passing and Cardinal Robert Prevost's election as Pope Leo XIV. As Protestant theologians, they grapple with what this papal transition means for the broader Christian landscape. They discuss how evangelicals should approach papal authority, explore the potential for greater Christian unity under the new papacy, and examine the ongoing influence of Catholic social teaching. They also reflect on the challenges and opportunities of engaging with Catholic tradition while remaining committed to Protestant principles. — Chapters: 00:00 Mere Fidelity 2.0: A New Era 03:25 Protestant Perspectives on the Papacy 09:21 Toward a Unified Church 12:30 Papal "Authority" 15:25 The Role of the Pope in a Divided Church 18:23 Visions for Unity in the Church 23:53 Pope Not King 25:02 Protestant Perspectives on Tradition 27:55 Calvin in the Middle 32:46 Visible and Invisible 33:48 Encyclical Teaching 41:05 Extra Cautions 46:24 Future Ecumenical Councils 51:20 New Chapter

We continue our examination of Christ's acts through the sacraments that he instituted. Fr. Mike emphasizes the importance of understanding that the sacraments are sacred signs that “make present efficaciously the grace they signify.” The sacraments specifically signify the Paschal mystery, Christ's life, death, and resurrection. We also explore how the Paschal mystery cannot remain in the past. Though it occurred in time, it transcends all time and is made present in all time.

The roots of tradition sometimes take hold in unexpected soil. What happens when traditions from France, Korea, and China converge in one practitioner's hands? There's a kind of alchemy in the way knowledge travels—through stories, teachers, and clinical results that raise the question of what is going on here.In this conversation with Jacques MoraMarco, we explore the shape of a career that's spanned over five decades. From his early exposure to French-Vietnamese and Korean teachings, to his role in building acupuncture education in the U.S.—Jacques has carried multiple lineages while helping to shape what Chinese medicine looks like in the modern clinic.Listen into this discussion as we talk about the perspective of different streams of practice, the shift from apprenticeship to formal schooling, and how European and Korean influences still echo in his work.
In part two of this conversation, we dive deeper into spirituality, ancestors, and the personal beliefs that shape our journeys. We're unpacking what it truly means to connect with our ancestors and exploring how these personal experiences redefine faith. We also chat openly about questioning long-held beliefs, pushing beyond the boundaries of organized religion, and why embracing our roots and community is key to growth. It's all about finding what resonates deeply and staying true to ourselves.Like. Follow. Share.

Together, we begin Section One on the sacramental economy. Fr. Mike emphasizes that the sacramental economy is both what God has done for us and how we should participate in it. He also emphasizes the blessings we receive from the sacraments through the Father. We conclude with an examination on the dual dimension of the sacramental liturgy, that while we are praising the Father, we are praising the Father with his own gift, his own Son.

Dumpling Daughter isn't just a food brand. It's founder Nadia Liu Spellman's heartfelt homage to family, culture and comfort. Her mission is simple but powerful: to make high-quality, restaurant-style comfort food accessible at home, while honoring the deep emotional ties that food can hold. Launched in 2014. Dumpling Daughter began as a beloved local restaurant in the Boston area and has since expanded into a rapidly growing CPG brand featuring frozen dumplings, bao buns, and sauces that celebrate generational flavors. In this episode, Nadia takes us on a journey from her Boston roots and business school days at Babson College to the high-pressure world of Wall Street — and ultimately, back to her cultural heritage in the kitchen. Along the way, Nadia opens up about honoring her family's culinary legacy — including her mother's legendary fine-dining restaurant, Sally Ling's — and what it takes to build a brand defined by authenticity, innovation, and uncompromising quality. From the challenges of food manufacturing to the nuances of flavor storytelling, she gives us an inside look at redefining "premium" in the world of ready-to-cook cuisine. Show notes: 0:25: Nadia Liu Spellman, Founder & CEO, Dumpling Daughter – Nadia fondly reflects on her childhood spent in the heart of her parents' lively Chinese restaurant, where her passion for food first took root. From preparing family dinners as a tween to eventually leaving behind a corporate career, she shares what inspired her leap into entrepreneurship.
