At the time of Diocletian's persecutions, he was a very old man, having served as a reader for sixteen years, then a deacon for twenty-eight years, and finally as a priest for thirty years, for a total of seventy-four years. The pagan judge put him in the Temple of Aesculapius, where large snakes were kept and worshiped as gods. Though the judge meant for Artemon to be attacked by the snakes, the holy priest immobilized them with the sign of the Cross, brought them out of the temple and, in front of the pagan priests, breathed on the snakes, which died instantly. The chief priest, Vitalis, fell to his knees and cried 'Great is the Christian God!' Artemon baptised him along with several of his friends.   The unrepentant judge then condemned Artemon to be thrown into burning pitch, but the judge himself was thrown off his horse into the pitch and died. After this, Artemon went free for a time and spent his time teaching the Faith to his people ("accompanied always by two tame deer," says St Nikolia Velimirovic!). But he was arrested again and beheaded in the year 303.

Arguile, Glad, Salix, and Zechs find themselves inexplicably transported to the distant past, landing in Sloane's Second Age rather than the Nymora of their time. Struggling to understand their predicament, they attempt to gather information discreetly, but Zechs inadvertently reveals their origins. This earns him a referral to the priestess of Nireana and ultimately to the priestess of Tumra, where he becomes visibly disturbed by the revelations he receives. Meanwhile, in the present, the rest of the party watches their companions in a catatonic state, their eyes glazed over. Shanks and Galahad attempt to discern the cause, only to hear a voice declaring, “These are the tithes that must be paid.” The goddess Aphy reassures them that their friends are safe and urges them to aid from their side. They resolve to investigate the leadership that enabled Nymora's suffering, instructing Greyleaf to seek his mother's connections. Before parting, Hoshino performs an act of kindness, reuniting a lost child with their family, a rare moment of light in a place marred by pain.In the past, the group consults the priestess of Tumra, who informs them that this journey is a lesson for Zechs and all of them. When Salix inquires if the lesson is forgiveness, they are corrected—the actual lesson is acceptance and closure, they hear from an absent but familiar voice. As they explore the city, they sense the rising tension of the approaching conflict between the Panteran Pantheon and Malar. They hear of erratic wildlife and growing fear of Malar's influence, suspecting an impending disaster. Zechs theorizes that a site of his future sacrifices may already exist and be occupied by Malar and his followers. The group stealthily investigates, finding a massive bonfire surrounded by many figures.In the present, Greyleaf's mother welcomes him and his friends, sharing a moment of reunion before shifting to the serious matter. After a short prayer, she bluntly acknowledges their foes, providing a wealth of names while advising caution. The party learns of her formidable past and her service during the arrival of the Vitalis family. With their newfound intelligence, they form teams—Shanks and Greyleaf, Hoshino, and Galahad—each tasked with specific roles. With Hoshino's Seeming spell altering their appearances, they set forth, ready to confront the forces that have plagued Nymora for generations.There's so much happening, and that's where we pick up…Find out what happens next in this episode of the Medusa's Cascade: Collateral Damage!

Delivered by Father Peter Tukan, SDB from Salesian Don Bosco Gerak in the Diocese of Labuan Bajo, Indonesia. Deuteronomy 30: 15-20; Rs psalm 1: 1-2.3.4.6; Luke 9: 22-25LOSS OF LIFE The theme for our meditation today is: Loss of Life.In a number of catacombs within the city of Rome and a number in other cities,thousands and even millions of ancient tombs have been found. There were buriedChristians who were killed by the power of the Roman empire that was pagan.Those killed, only a small number are known by name and are designated saintsand martyrs. Most of them are unknown. They all experienced what the scripturessay, which is to lose of life for the sake of the gospel and because of theirfaith in the Lord Jesus Christ. We can mention some of them, namely Saints Perpetua,Felisitas, Agatha, Calistus, Alexander and Vitalis, they were martyrs in thecity of Rome, around the 1st and 2nd centuries of theChristianity. Such a loss of life is about self-sacrifice for following in thefootsteps of Christ. This certainly has nothing to do with the loss of life inmany other forms that are not based on reason following the path of JesusChrist. Losing of life to Jesus Christ is a way to achieve perfection byentering into the requirements set by Jesus Christ for each of His followers. In a strict sense, a person experiences the death ofhis body, because he defends his faith in Christ and the truth that guards hisentire life. Jesus is an example of this type of death, because He Himself wascondemned to death and died on the cross. This way was followed by a largenumber of followers of Christ to this day. Recently there was a news of amissionary priest in West Africa, who was fighting to defend the Church and thepeople in his parish from the rebel attacks. He was willing to die for theChurch, and he deserved to be called a martyr. Models of loss of life like thisare found all over the world. In a broader and spiritual sense, the loss of life isa true surrender to God through piety, death, service, and communion ofconsecrated life. Jesus said this not only to the disciples who followed Him,but to all of us. Marriage between a man and a woman demands that each loses oneself,and must be united with his or her partner. In religious and priestly life, onemust renounce all one's own pleasures, in order to be one with the spirit of religiouslife and as a priest. This is the basic way of life in answering God's call toeach of us. In any case, a sincere and responsible answer to thatcall is the same as choosing grace and life, not choosing curses, as the bookof Deuteronomy emphasizes in today's first reading. Let us pray. In the name of the Father... O Lord our God, maywe be willing and happy in all our sacrifices, for our salvation. Our Fatherwho art in heaven ... In the name of the Father...

Full Text of ReadingsThursday of the First Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 308The Saint of the day is Saint Berard and CompanionsSaint Berard and Companions' Story Preaching the gospel is often dangerous work. Leaving one's homeland and adjusting to new cultures, governments and languages is difficult enough; but martyrdom caps all the other sacrifices. In 1219, with the blessing of Saint Francis, Berard left Italy with Peter, Adjute, Accurs, Odo and Vitalis to preach in Morocco. En route in Spain, Vitalis became sick and commanded the other friars to continue their mission without him. They tried preaching in Seville, then in Muslim hands, but made no converts. They went on to Morocco where they preached in the marketplace. The friars were immediately apprehended and ordered to leave the country; they refused. When they began preaching again, an exasperated sultan ordered them executed. After enduring severe beatings and declining various bribes to renounce their faith in Jesus Christ, the friars were beheaded by the sultan himself on January 16, 1220. These were the first Franciscan martyrs. When Francis heard of their deaths, he exclaimed, “Now I can truly say that I have five Friars Minor!” Their relics were brought to Portugal where they prompted a young Augustinian canon to join the Franciscans and set off for Morocco the next year. That young man was Anthony of Padua. These five martyrs were canonized in 1481. Reflection The deaths of Berard and his companions sparked a missionary vocation in Anthony of Padua and others. There have been many, many Franciscans who have responded to Francis' challenge. Proclaiming the gospel can be fatal, but that has not stopped the Franciscan men and women who even today risk their lives in many countries throughout the world.

He lived for many years as a monk in Palestine, then went to Alexandria to labor for the salvation of women living as prostitutes. He worked with his hands by day, keeping only a tenth of his earnings for himself. By night, he would take the rest of his earnings to the prostitutes' quarter and offer his money to one of them, on condition that she would not give herself up to sin that night, but instead stay with him, praying all night for his salvation. When he left her, he would make her promise to tell no one of this arrangement. Not surprisingly, complaints soon reached the Patriarch, St John the Merciful (November 12) about this monk who was causing scandal by his immoral life; but the Patriarch, discerning Vitalis' heart, did nothing. When St Vitalis died, a writing tablet was found near his body, on which was written: "Inhabitants of Alexandria, judge not before the time, until the coming of the Day of the Lord." Then many women who had been converted from an immoral life by the Saint came forward and told of his good deeds. The people of Alexandria honored him with a lavish funeral.   Saint Vitalis shows us in at least two ways that the wisdom of the holy is foolishness to the world: He never sought to justify himself in the eyes of the world, but on the contrary did everything he could to hide his virtues; and, for all his holiness, he counted himself more sinful than the "fallen," asking them to pray for his salvation.

The party makes last-minute preparations for their travel, ensuring they don't forget anything as they don't know if and when they'll be back in Drose. Zechs gives Hoshino a 2nd level Moonbeam scroll that he's been holding onto for quite some time. Before long, the group is back on the Swift Hummingbird, and we find Hoshino and Arguile creating scrolls out of the spell book the party found ages ago that belonged to the Arcanoloth. The two make a great pair and manage to successfully pull quite a few scrolls before they decide not to push their good luck any further. As the last pull happens, Shanks initially bets the ship's gunner for some coin, but the gunner suggests that if Hoshino is flawless in his execution, he'll throw in a personal recipe for plastique. Hoshino is successful, and Shanks is told he will have the recipe later that day. Shanks later speaks with Greyleaf, discussing his transformation from Kyver to Greyleaf. Greyleaf explains his fight with the son of the Vitalis that took his life, but fate had other plans for him. He took it as a sign to leave all the negative that came with Kyver and let it die in that ring. The conversation continues and touches on some deeper parts of Greyleaf's upbringing and reasoning that he didn't tell the group much while with the party. In the conversation, he reminds Shanks that he can ask questions, but as he's said before, he can only speak about his own story. They have an uneasy conversation about Rig in which Shanks tells Greyleaf that he's not the same person he was before and doesn't live his life with regrets. Finally, the group touches down and is informed that they are at the Barrier Range. The group takes off, gathering the heavy cloaks from the bag of holding that Cereius once gave them. The travel up is almost entirely covered in fresh snow, which does not help Zechs' newest “gift” from Malar. The brisk and open mountain air and the sparkle from the snow heightened his sight and smell, and it was not a comfortable adjustment. The group bands together to help him out, and he's grateful. They continue up the path, with Galahad and Zechs taking the lead. When they finally arrive, Galahad explains to the person who meets them that he is from the line of “Those That Wandered,” Panea had mentioned coming here to meet them. There is a tense pause before the goliath says, “Come with me.” The group meets with their leader, Pakia, and Galahad explains what he knows of his ancestry. To this, she gives recognition, inquiring further about any more details since his ancestor's departure from Sloane. They finish speaking, and she encourages them to stay, which they accept, and participate in the festival. We finish with the group around a dinner table with drinks and tales of their party's early days.

We've heard and rehearsed the conventional wisdom about oil: that the U.S. military presence in the Persian Gulf is what guarantees access to this strategic resource; that the "special" relationship with Saudi Arabia is necessary to stabilize an otherwise volatile market; and that these assumptions in turn provide Washington enormous leverage over Europe and Asia. That common sense is wrong. The author of America's Kingdom: Mythmaking on the Saudi Oil Frontier (Stanford University Press, 2007), Robert Vitalis returns to disenchant us once again—this time from "oilcraft," a line of magical thinking closer to witchcraft than statecraft. Contrary to the deeply-held beliefs of hawkish foreign policy experts and career academics alike, oil is a commodity like any other: bought, sold, and subject to market forces. The House of Saud does many things for U.S. investors, firms, and government agencies, but guaranteeing the flow of oil, making it cheap, or stabilizing the price isn't one of them. Nevertheless, persistent fears of oil scarcity and conflict continue to breed real consequences. Robert Vitalis, Oilcraft: The Myths of Scarcity and Security That Haunt U.S. Energy Policy (Stanford UP, 2020) presses us to reconsider, among many things, the U.S.-Saudi special relationship, which confuses and traps many into unnecessarily accepting what we imagine is a devil's bargain. Along the way, Vitalis resurrects a forgotten school of critics of empire—a reprisal of his task in White World Order, Black Power Politics: The Birth of American International Relations (Cornell University Press, 2017). Freeing ourselves from the spell of oilcraft won't be easy. But the benefits of doing so, and the drawbacks of not, make it essential. Learn more about your ad choices.

"(...) Pero el 'vitalismo' ya no es una corriente científica. Desde el punto de vista de la química los seres vivos y los seres inertes son la misma cosa: combinaciones posibles a partir de lo que hay. Si esto es así, si en esencia los seres vivos y los seres inertes son la misma cosa, ¿Qué decir de un senegalés y uno de Villaquilambre? (...)".

En este nuevo episodio de Revolución de la Riqueza nos acompaña Jorge López, un destacado empresario mexicano, fundador de Millas para el Retiro y Vitalis, y un experto en pensiones, ahorro e inversiones. En esta conversación, hablamos sobre el retiro y las pensiones en México. Jorge comparte su conocimiento y nos explica por qué este es un problema tan grande. Destaca que la falta de conciencia y planificación a largo plazo, tanto por parte de las personas como de los gobiernos y líderes empresariales, es uno de los principales desafíos. Jorge nos habla sobre lo que considera pueden ser buenas soluciones, como incluir la seguridad social en los recibos de honorarios de los trabajadores independientes y promover el ahorro voluntario en las empresas. También nos comenta sobre la importancia de aprovechar el sistema de seguridad social en México y cómo se puede mejorar. Como siempre, hacemos hincapié en la importancia de la educación financiera y, en esta conversación edificante, también en el ahorro para el retiro. Por último, Jorge comparte su libro favorito "La conquista de la felicidad”, la importancia de la lectura en su vida y cómo ha diversificado su portafolio de inversiones. ¡No te pierdas este episodio lleno de valiosos insights sobre cómo prepararte para tu retiro!

At the time of Diocletian's persecutions, he was a very old man, having served as a reader for sixteen years, then a deacon for twenty-eight years, and finally as a priest for thirty years, for a total of seventy-four years. The pagan judge put him in the Temple of Aesculapius, where large snakes were kept and worshiped as gods. Though the judge meant for Artemon to be attacked by the snakes, the holy priest immobilized them with the sign of the Cross, brought them out of the temple and, in front of the pagan priests, breathed on the snakes, which died instantly. The chief priest, Vitalis, fell to his knees and cried 'Great is the Christian God!' Artemon baptised him along with several of his friends.   The unrepentant judge then condemned Artemon to be thrown into burning pitch, but the judge himself was thrown off his horse into the pitch and died. After this, Artemon went free for a time and spent his time teaching the Faith to his people ("accompanied always by two tame deer," says St Nikolia Velimirovic!). But he was arrested again and beheaded in the year 303.

Though the judge meant for Artemon to be attacked by the snakes, the holy priest immobilized them with the sign of the Cross, brought them out of the temple and, in front of the pagan priests, breathed on the snakes, which died instantly. The chief priest, Vitalis, fell to his knees and cried 'Great is the Christian God!' Artemon baptised him along with several of his friends.   The unrepentant judge then condemned Artemon to be thrown into burning pitch, but the judge himself was thrown off his horse into the pitch and died. After this, Artemon went free for a time and spent his time teaching the Faith to his people ("accompanied always by two tame deer," says St Nikolia Velimirovic!). But he was arrested again and beheaded in the year 303.

Full Text of ReadingsTuesday of the Second Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 312The Saint of the day is Saint Berard and CompanionsSaint Berard and Companions' Story Preaching the gospel is often dangerous work. Leaving one's homeland and adjusting to new cultures, governments and languages is difficult enough; but martyrdom caps all the other sacrifices. In 1219, with the blessing of Saint Francis, Berard left Italy with Peter, Adjute, Accurs, Odo and Vitalis to preach in Morocco. En route in Spain, Vitalis became sick and commanded the other friars to continue their mission without him. They tried preaching in Seville, then in Muslim hands, but made no converts. They went on to Morocco where they preached in the marketplace. The friars were immediately apprehended and ordered to leave the country; they refused. When they began preaching again, an exasperated sultan ordered them executed. After enduring severe beatings and declining various bribes to renounce their faith in Jesus Christ, the friars were beheaded by the sultan himself on January 16, 1220. These were the first Franciscan martyrs. When Francis heard of their deaths, he exclaimed, “Now I can truly say that I have five Friars Minor!” Their relics were brought to Portugal where they prompted a young Augustinian canon to join the Franciscans and set off for Morocco the next year. That young man was Anthony of Padua. These five martyrs were canonized in 1481. Reflection The deaths of Berard and his companions sparked a missionary vocation in Anthony of Padua and others. There have been many, many Franciscans who have responded to Francis' challenge. Proclaiming the gospel can be fatal, but that has not stopped the Franciscan men and women who even today risk their lives in many countries throughout the world.

He lived for many years as a monk in Palestine, then went to Alexandria to labor for the salvation of women living as prostitutes. He worked with his hands by day, keeping only a tenth of his earnings for himself. By night, he would take the rest of his earnings to the prostitutes' quarter and offer his money to one of them, on condition that she would not give herself up to sin that night, but instead stay with him, praying all night for his salvation. When he left her, he would make her promise to tell no one of this arrangement. Not surprisingly, complaints soon reached the Patriarch, St John the Merciful (November 12) about this monk who was causing scandal by his immoral life; but the Patriarch, discerning Vitalis' heart, did nothing. When St Vitalis died, a writing tablet was found near his body, on which was written: "Inhabitants of Alexandria, judge not before the time, until the coming of the Day of the Lord." Then many women who had been converted from an immoral life by the Saint came forward and told of his good deeds. The people of Alexandria honored him with a lavish funeral.

Robert Vitalis, a political scientist at Penn, is a man caught in the middle.  He has spent most of his career identified with the left, and with Palestinian rights. And on this week's podcast episode, Vitalis defends the Palestine Writes conference, held in September 2023 at his university, against charges that it was antisemitic. He also decries donor meddling, and says candidly that Penn president “Liz McGill threw the academic mission” of the university “under the bus.” On the other hand, since the attacks of October 7, Vitalis has insisted to his friends on the left that they grapple with the crimes of Hamas—which has upset the very leftists who agree with him about Palestinians' rights. “I've insisted over and over again that folks have to wrestle with the fact that Hamas committed these atrocities,”Vitalis tells host Mark Oppenheimer in this episode of The Syllabus.He also believes that “the massive retaliation by Israel” was “one of the things that [Hamas] wished for, in that it intended for Palestinian civilians to die …. By saying that over and over again, I've been accused of blood libels against the Palestinian people.” As a result, Vitalis has lost friends on both sides of the political aisle. And now this free-speech absolutist is seeking early retirement.  Guest Bio: Robert Vitalis has taught political science at the University of Pennsylvania since 1999. His newest book, Oilcraft: The Myths of Scarcity and Security That Haunt U.S. Energy Policy, was published in 2020. Stay informed about this podcast and all of AJU's latest programs and offerings by subscribing to our mailing list HERE If you'd like to support AJU and this podcast, please consider donating to us at aju.edu/donate

We come back to the split party in Nymora, both of which are having very different experiences at the moment. On the one hand Zechs, Galahad, and Glad try to unlock clues as to the motive, method, and anything the Drakewood Travelers might have left behind at the bank before heading to explore the underground network underneath the Vitalis estate. Galahad and Glad can tell that Zechs' mind is racing and he's trying to keep himself busy, but the sight that he sees down in “The Vineyard” while empty leaves a lasting impression. There's a lot of Kyver's story that now has a sense of tangibility and everyone's hearts are a bit heavier for having seen this place, just 100 feet or so below Nymora this whole time. Salix, Arguile, Shanks, and Hoshino are currently exploring ways to lure out this “Fat Arguile” and have a friendly battle of words with him. They even have a caterer for the event by the way of “The Murky Armadillo”. Eventually while making this plan they meet Fat Arguile and agree to have this rap battle that very evening. Further preparations are made with the owner Sen and they will have an epic rap battle (and baked goods) just hours away!

We pick up with the other half of the team: Salix, Arguile, Shanks, and Hoshino. The group gathers at Zechs' parents' home where Zechs reads the letter from Agatha Vitalis. There's a weight in the room and unease as the group splits. Zechs asks if they can go to Kyver's family home and see if he visited them, and maybe get answers (and confirmations) as to who is with him. On the way, Arguile is stopped by supposed fans of him asking to get his autograph and say his catchphrase "Stay Crunchy!". There's some confusion and discussion of what to do with Arguile's new alternate. Arriving at the Sabertooth farm they find his parents safe and thrilled to meet more of Kyver's friends. They eventually find their way over to the Church of Elrin to talk to Rev and find information on what's been happening in Nymora since they last spoke. We end with the crew planning a freestyle battle to determine who indeed is the best Arguile.

Fr Vitalis Anaehobi, Secretary-General of the Regional Episcopal Conference of West Africa, RECOWA, speaks on how he and other African delegates prepared to represent Africa in the ongoing synod on synodality. He shares with God's people his hopes and prayers for the synod and urges everyone to trust in the Spirit of God who leads the church into the future in the direction of the eschatological reign of God. 

Zechs, Galahad, and Hoshino finish the hunt and take what they need while providing the rest as offerings and food for those in need. The following day the party begins to gather their things from the tavern, pick up their custom items from the Brass Jackalope, and board the airship back to Nymora. It's there that the group comes upon a shocking scene: The Vitalis estate has been burned to the ground and is surrounded by the city guard. Zechs, Galahad, and Glad go to find out what's going on and see if Kyver perhaps had anything to do with it. Upon asking questions, a guard informs Zechs, who is using his status as a bounty hunter, to speak with Lt. Flash. He would be able to provide more information. The trio goes and Zechs leaves Duo there to survey the area and keep watch in the meantime. The other half of the team goes to Zechs' parents' place and checks in on them to see how they are doing. Lt. Flash carefully provides the trio with his thoughts on the situation and Zechs explains that he is one of the lost children and that he is currently a bounty hunter. He further explains that his bounty, Kyver, may have been responsible and offers to help in his capture. The Lt. appreciates the tenacity and says very plainly to Zechs that while he officially can't tell him that he can look through the wreckage, he can say that if he doesn't get caught then it's fine by him. They are informed about a group matching the descriptions of We'ahqa, Cereius, Shanks, and someone who looked a lot like Zechs, but shorter and more stout by comparison. They figure that it must be Kyver posing as Zechs and are skeptical but suspect that somehow Rig is alive and posing as Shanks. On their way back to his childhood home, Duo informs Zechs that he has a letter addressed to him waiting for him. They finally arrive at Zechs' family home and get filled in on more details from Zechs' parents and Seti hands him the letter they received a few days earlier. The letter sends a chill down Zechs's spine and he tries to wrap his head around just what Agatha Vitalis could want from him. They decide to split up and look into the matter of these Drakewood Travels. This might not be just a quick pit stop for the group after all.

We pick back up in the tavern with the party and The Journeyman. Individual conversations are had between JM and Salix, Galahad, and Shanks on a varying array of topics. Salix was given an apology as to JM's actions. Galahad and JM discussed The Constable's affinity for Zechs and the situation that led Zechs to the Feywild. Shanks got some advice and clarity on some situations with the help of JM. Later on, we get some bonding from Zechs, Galahad, and Hoshino in the training room downstairs. Hoshino informs the two of a bit of his backstory and Galahad suggests to Zechs that a hunt might be in order if he indeed wants to connect with Solonar. Preparations are made and the three of them head into the forest to hunt an elk. Hoshino and Galahad are informed to keep an eye on Zechs' blood lust and they manage to track their prey into a clearing.

At the time of Diocletian's persecutions, he was a very old man, having served as a reader for sixteen years, then a deacon for twenty-eight years, and finally as a priest for thirty years, for a total of seventy-four years. The pagan judge put him in the Temple of Aesculapius, where large snakes were kept and worshiped as gods. Though the judge meant for Artemon to be attacked by the snakes, the holy priest immobilized them with the sign of the Cross, brought them out of the temple and, in front of the pagan priests, breathed on the snakes, which died instantly. The chief priest, Vitalis, fell to his knees and cried 'Great is the Christian God!' Artemon baptised him along with several of his friends.   The unrepentant judge then condemned Artemon to be thrown into burning pitch, but the judge himself was thrown off his horse into the pitch and died. After this, Artemon went free for a time and spent his time teaching the Faith to his people ("accompanied always by two tame deer," says St Nikolia Velimirovic!). But he was arrested again and beheaded in the year 303.

Do you have a Rosary that is broken or a Bible that is worn out? Fr. Josh walks us through how to dispose of sacramentals that we no longer have need of or are no longer functional. He also introduces us to St. Vitalis of Gaza, a hermetic monk who teaches us always to assume the best in the intentions of others. Snippet From the Show The way we treat a sacramental is effectively the same way we treat people. Every member of the Body of Christ is important, and sacramentals are important as well.
