Terry Modica, author of “The Father's Heart: Meet the Real Abba Father: Book One: 10 Spiritual Exercises to Heal from the Wounds of the Heart” En Route Books & Media (July 3, 2024). About the Book: The Father's Heart is written to help you experience the wonderfulness of the True Father's heart so that your faith can be set free to reach its full potential. It's an inspirational guide to healing that will enable you to experience God the Father as he truly is, using scriptures, true life stories, and theological reflection. In it, we'll identify and overcome the most common misconceptions that interfere with faith in God. Unveil the heart of God as a loving Father through this inspiring book. Learn how His love can transform your life and bring healing. What are you seeking from God your Father? How close do you feel to the Father's heart? Do you know that, if what you want is good and God doesn't have a better plan, you already have what you seek? It often takes time for it to be revealed and understood, but God has already granted it because he loves you far more than you realize. To help guide your interview, we have prepared the following questions for your consideration:: 1. How and why did you become Catholic? 2. You got involved in the occult when you were a teenager. How did that affect your Christian faith? 3. How did your life change when you became Catholic? 4. Tell us about your apostolate. What does Good News Ministries do? 5. What inspired you to write your book(s)? 6. Why do many find it difficult to feel close to God the Father? 7. How did your relationship with your own father affect your faith life? 8. How did you come to know God as a loving Father? 9. What has happened in our society that undermines faith in the Father? 10. Explain how the breakdown of families has affected attendance at church. What can parishes do about this? About Terry: Terry Modica is executive director of Good News Ministries of Tampa Bay (gnm.org), which she founded with her husband Ralph in 1995 to help people grow closer to Christ and enter the embrace of the Father, then serve as evangelizers empowered by the Holy Spirit. As a leader in lay apostleship and a pioneer in using internet technologies for Catholic outreach since 1996, her ministry is international. As a writer, her first article was published in 1982. Since 1988, she has been a book author, speaker, prolific writer of daily reflections and many other works, and a spiritual director. Terry has a Bachelor's Degree in theology from Cloverdale College and certifications in two Lay Pastoral Ministry institutes. Since becoming Catholic in 1977, she has served the Church in a wide variety of parish and diocesan ministries, on staff and as a volunteer. She has been vetted by the Diocese of St. Petersburg and Good News Ministries of Tampa Bay is included in the Official Catholic Directory. Her personal testimony, shared at speaking engagements and in her writings, includes how the Holy Spirit brought her into the Catholic faith in 1977 by giving her instant faith in the True Presence of Christ in the Eucharist, and how a few years later Jesus introduced her to God the Father (her human dad was emotionally and spiritually distant) and to the Blessed Mother (raised a Protestant, it took a miracle to start that relationship). We at Newman Communications would be thrilled to arrange an interview with Terry to discuss her book, personal experiences, and insights. If you're interested, please let me know your availability and any specific topics you'd like Terry to cover.

Send us a textWhat if everything you thought you knew about being "cool" was actually holding you back from embodying true presence? In this kickoff to "The Rebirth of Cool" series, we strip away decades of cultural conditioning to reveal a profound truth: authentic coolness isn't about your outfit, your status, or how hard you try to impress others – it's about the frequency you naturally emit when your nervous system is regulated and your spirit is aligned.Modern men have been trapped in perpetual performance mode, exhausting themselves with social tap dancing and validation-seeking behaviors. We've confused signaling (unconsciously broadcasting insecurity) with genuine signal (radiating calm presence that needs no spotlight). This episode delves deep into nervous system dominance – explaining how the calmest person in any room naturally commands gravity without demanding attention.The conversation offers transformative insights into five performance patterns men need to shed immediately: over-explaining, the nervous "apology smile," filling silence, rushed movements, and digital validation seeking. In their place, I share a practical daily framework for recalibrating your frequency, protecting your energy, and restoring your natural presence through morning anchoring, midday recentering, and intentional recovery practices.Ready to move beyond performing and start radiating? This episode introduces a powerful seven-day protocol designed as a full nervous system reset – gradually shifting you from trying to be impressive to being so deeply grounded that people feel you before they see you. Because at your core, you don't need to become cool – you just need to remember the version of yourself that existed before the world taught you to perform."True mastery is found in the details. The way you handle the little things defines the way you handle everything."

This blogcast explores “The Practice of Wonder” written by Erin Donn and read by Tom Carani.In this blog post, Erin encourages us to recognize the beauty and wonder that can be found all around us. One of my favorite things about children is the sense of wonder that they naturally possess. Despite the ordinariness and repetition of their days, their lives are marked by wonder. As children go through the simple events that make up their days, they are able to see the awesome newness all around them: a colorful beetle in the garden, a new color made when mixing paints, sounding out a new word for the first time. It is true that as adults there may be fewer things for us to discover and learn; we've figured out how most things work and generally know what to expect from an event or situation. But, what if we still let ourselves be open to the wonder around us and approached situations with more curiosity? When we have conversations with friends, we can marvel at their goodness and how God is working in their lives. When we take the dog for a walk, we can leave our phone at home and soak in the sights and sounds around us. We can take time to cultivate a hobby or learn a new skill. These events might not be novel, but they can offer us an opportunity to slow down and see what newness God may be speaking into them. This sense of wonder can be cultivated in our spiritual lives, too. God wants us to wonder at Him, to be captivated by Him, to enter the mystery of His presence among us. The great mysteries of the Church aren't matters to be solved or rationally understood; rather, they are truths meant to be pondered ever more deeply. What better disposition than one of wonder with which to enter into these mysteries? We can give our “rapt attention” and “astonishment” to Jesus' True Presence in the Eucharist or to contemplating the ways God has worked in the lives of people throughout scripture. Like children encountering the newness right in front of them, we can ask God to fill us with a spirit of wonder when we go to pray or experience the sacraments. In this way He can transform the parts of our spiritual lives that may just feel routine and ordinary into moving encounters of His perpetual newness. Author:Erin Donn serves as the parish missionary at Immaculate Conception Church in Washington, DC.  Follow us:The Catholic Apostolate CenterThe Center's podcast websiteInstagramFacebookApple PodcastsSpotify Fr.

This week I'm thrilled to be joined by the insightful Keli Carpenter! We take a deep dive into the transformative power of conscious surrender and trust. Keli sheds light on how these concepts evolve as we work with different layers of ourselves, from processing emotions to uncovering messages held within our breath. She emphasizes the importance of presence as a foundation for healing, allowing us to soften and experience emotions safely with the right support. We explore Keli's powerful framework of five levels of conscious ownership: learning, understanding, support, practices, and finally, surrender. Through this framework, Keli and I discuss how trust and openness to the unknown unlock deeper wisdom and even a touch of magic in the healing process. We move beyond the hype to ground ourselves in the calming, slow pace that true inner healing requires. Keli emphasizes the importance of patience, especially when incorporating breathwork into healing modalities. She underscores the need for a safe and comfortable container for us to fully engage in the transformative process. This conversation with Keli offers a multi-layered approach to healing, encompassing mind, body, and soul. Together, we explore how to break free from trauma and evolve beyond limiting stories. About Keli: Keli is no stranger to mind, body and spirit awareness. She first started practicing transcendent meditation at the age of six. Keli is also a published author, has professionally studied with Gabor Maté and is the founder of both The Other Side of Average – Therapy for the Soul and the TOSA Method. Keli is now a Chopra Center Certified Transcendent Meditation (PSM®) Instructor, Conscious Relationship, Uncoupling and Parenting Coach and Conscious Connected Breathwork Facilitator, Mentor and Trainer.

My guest today is Mr. Light Watkins, a meditation teacher and expert. Light has authored a series of books on meditation, including "Bliss More," "The Inner Gym," and his latest creation - an exploration of spiritual minimalism titled "Travel Light." In the course of our discussion, Light shares his journey of living with nothing more than a backpack's worth of belongings. Light is not against "stuff" or "nice things," but he had an intense calling to offload all of his physical objects to live a minimalist life. He doesn't think it is forever, but he shares his experience and insightful lessons from these past five years. One of the great reminders that Light talks about and that struck me was that there are the mechanics of meditating, and what keeps most of us from it is not understanding, learning, and practicing the mechanics. If you want to learn more about that, he really dives into meditation in his book "Bliss More." Light has a humble attitude and makes the pursuit of spirituality accessible. He reminds us that we can be the architect of our reality based on whatever is important to us. Enjoy!

If you're feeling overwhelmed by teaching multiple children with varying ages, this episode is perfect for you. We'll share practical strategies to make your homeschooling journey smoother and more effective. Build your Family's Routines:  Truepresence.life/course Dive Deeper into True Presence: NEW!! Join our Facebook Group for Challenges and Community! NEW!! Instagram/threads: @truepresencepodcast NEW!! Facebook: True Presence Podcast Well-Ordered Week newsletter: weekly inspiration and journal prompts   1. Early Years: If your kids aren't reading yet and don't have established habits, don't worry. Young children learn a lot through everyday activities like cooking, walking, and reading together. Focus on quality interactions rather than replicating a traditional school setting at home. 2. Balancing Work: Organize your children's work into lessons (you actively teach), independent work (practice), and question time. This lets you provide targeted attention when needed and encourages self-learning. 3. Mixed-Age Learning: Combine lessons like science, history, and literature for multiple ages. Tailor activities to each child's level. Older kids can help younger ones, creating a supportive learning environment. 4. Including Little Ones: Create a safe space for focused learning. Use nap times and play hours for teaching. Involve babies and toddlers in simple activities to manage distractions. 5. Flexibility Matters: Remember, homeschooling is adaptable. Customize routines to your child's preferences—morning, afternoon, or evening. Flexibility nurtures individual growth and learning. Conclusion: As a Catholic mom homeschooling kids of different ages, embrace flexibility and collaboration. Simplify lessons, involve younger siblings, and adapt routines to each child. Your tailored approach will create a rewarding homeschool experience.

Summary: Kelsey introduces the concept of time thieves, which are sneaky things that steal our time and prevent us from accomplishing our goals. She discusses six common time thieves and provides insights on how to overcome them. These time thieves include avoiding our feelings, neglecting our health, multitasking, resisting reality, focusing on unspoken goals, and prioritizing urgent tasks over important ones. Key Takeaways: Time thieves can prevent us from achieving our goals and leave us feeling unproductive and overwhelmed. Avoiding our feelings can lead to unintentional time-wasting behaviors, such as excessive smartphone use. Neglecting our health can drain our energy and mental clarity, making it difficult to accomplish tasks. Multitasking is not as efficient as focusing on one task at a time, as our brains switch between tasks, resulting in time and quality loss. Resisting reality and failing to accept and plan for recurring situations can lead to wasted time and frustration. Unspoken goals that are more important to us than our stated goals can distract us and lead to time mismanagement. Focusing on urgent tasks instead of important ones can keep us in a reactive mode and prevent us from making progress on our goals. Quotes: "You don't rise to the level of your goals, you fall to the level of your systems." - Atomic Habits "Neglecting our health takes more time in the long run than taking small steps to care for ourselves." "Multitasking is a time thief. Our brains can't truly multitask, and switching between tasks comes at a cost." "Resisting reality leads to repeated unexpected situations. Acceptance and planning can save time and reduce stress." "Climbing the wrong mountain wastes time and effort. Align your actions with your most important goals." "Focusing on urgent tasks instead of important ones keeps us in a reactive mode and hinders progress."

Jesus said to the Jewish crowds: “I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world.”   The Jews quarreled among themselves, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” Jesus said to them, “Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life within you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day. For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him. Just as the living Father sent me and I have life because of the Father, so also the one who feeds on me will have life because of me. This is the bread that came down from heaven. Unlike your ancestors who ate and still died, whoever eats this bread will live forever.” John 6:51-58   Frequent Communion Today is the Solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ. This feast was first established in Belgium in the 1200s as a response to the debates about the True Presence and frequent reception of Holy Communion. It came from Julianna of Cornillon's vision, where Jesus lamented the absence of a particular feast in the Church's calendar focused on his sacramental presence on the altar. The feast was only a local celebration until one of its major supporters, Archdeacon Jacques Pantaléon, became Pope Urban IV in 1261. This feast is historically celebrated on the Thursday following Trinity Sunday (last Sunday), but in the United States of America, the feast has been moved to Sunday. Today we will reflect on the frequent reception of the true body, blood, soul, and divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar. History has witnessed many different attitudes toward the reception of the Eucharist. In the early Church, all the baptized received the Eucharist; in the Middle Ages, the Church's call to live a sinless life led to a holy fear of receiving the Eucharist, making it more distant from the laity. Most lay people received the Eucharist only three times a year at Christmas, Easter, and Pentecost, after going to confession and preparing themselves. In 1910, Pope Saint Pius X promulgated a decree in which he famously lowered the age of First Communion to that age at which a child can distinguish between the Bread of the Holy Eucharist and ordinary bread. Not only did he lower the age for First Communion, but he said that after First Communion, children should “frequently approach the Holy Table, even daily if possible.” He declared that the “daily approach to Communion is open to all, old and young, and two conditions only are required: the state of grace and a right intention.” These two conditions deserve further reflection. The State of Grace: This means that you are free from all mortal sins. If you are baptized and have validly confessed all of your mortal sins—grievous offenses against the law of God—then you are filled with the life of God—the life of grace. In this state, you ought to receive the Body and Blood of Christ. A Right Intention: Pope Pius X said, “A right intention consists in this: that he who approaches the Holy Table should do so, not out of routine, or vain glory, or human respect, but that he wish to please God, to be more closely united with Him by charity, and to have recourse to this divine remedy for his weakness and defects.” This list is a wonderful examination of conscience before approaching the altar at Mass. Ask yourself if you are only approaching the Eucharist out of habit, or for your own glory, or human respect. Ask yourself if you want to please God, to be more closely united to Him by charity, and to have his remedy for your own human weakness and defects. In your silent prayer today, reflect on your intentions. Pray that the Lord will purify your intent to please God, be united to him, and have a remedy for your weakness. If you are in good standing with the Catholic Church, free from all mortal sins, and have a right intention, then receive the Lord in Holy Communion with great joy.

Father Joe Laramie, SJ joined Patrick for a conversation about the power of Christ in the Eucharist. Topics included: the Eucharist as the source and summit of the faith (2:38), caller: I'm a revert to the faith (11:05), caller: how I came to understand the True Presence (20:42), caller: I've come back after years at Protestant Churches (29:13), caller: adoration is a gift for me (33:26), caller: I've started receiving Communion on the tongue (40:09), and how can families grow in their love for the Eucharist? (42:22). 

During his workshop at the Los Angeles Religious Education Congress, Father Dave answered questions of faith from those in attendance regarding the Mass. Many of those questions centered on our beliefs surrounding the Eucharist, and Cindy asks, “How do we simplify the explanation of transubstantiation for the benefit of children?”

On this episode, Bishop continues his deep dive into the “True Presence” of Jesus in the Eucharist. Plus hear more about living a Eucharistic life by sharing the love we receive with all.

This week, Bishop focuses on the real presence of Jesus in the Eucharist.

We believe as Catholics that at every Mass the simple bread and wine are transformed by the power of the Holy Spirit into the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus. But do we need to receive both species, namely the Eucharist and the Precious Blood in order to receive ALL of Jesus? Today Fr. Mike explains the practice of intinction, dipping the Holy Eucharist into the chalice of the Precious Blood and when it's a bad idea and when it may be appropriate.
