Part 1? Starting around 1300 BCE, the (surviving) corpus of written documents from Egypt begins to increase dramatically. It's not clear why, but papyrus and ostraca are far more abundant for this era than anything before. Thanks to these records, we get many glimpses of daily life and personal concerns, from the society of the time; and we can enjoy some Small Stories of life in Ramessid Egypt.

In this episode of the Teach Different podcast, Steve Fouts is joined by Jarvis Funches. Together they explore the profound quote by Mahatma Gandhi: “The measure of a society is how it treats its weakest members.” They unpack the claim of the quote, highlighting the role of empathy in uplifting and empowering others. The dialogue also touches on the division in society and the need for unity amidst differing viewpoints. Through their discussion, they emphasize the significance of understanding and connecting with one another, regardless of political or social differences.Episode Chapters00:00 - Introduction00:10 - Introducing the Teach Different Method02:12 - Exploring Gandhi's Quote on Society05:51 - Defining Weakness and Strength09:58 - Different Perspectives on Empowerment17:01 - Unity vs. Division in Society22:33 - The Role of Empathy in Understanding27:55 - Looking Ahead: A Call for Unity28:27 - Teach Different OutroImage Source: Anefo, CC0, via Wikimedia Commons https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Mahatma_Gandhi,_Bestanddeelnr_916-6994.jpg 

Another day, another public brawl on the streets of Parabellum City. Will Falk quell the unrest and clean up the streets?

The Black Cat in this episode is NOT a rip-off of the Marvel comics character with the same name. It's a rip-off of the public domain superhero Black Cat who first appeared in Pocket Comics #1, August 1941, and had her own title from Harvey Comics with various name changes (Black Cat Western Comics, Black Cat Mystery Comics, Black Cat Mystic) until 1963.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Cat_(Harvey_Comics)2. When Wordplay took his second play “Shoot” on tour, he found it was not as popular outside of Parabellum City.3. Lana Krang presumably uses a paper or cardstock folder for her Bits file. Mine is digital but the filename is “Bits.”4. If I was trying to cheer up Miss Krang, I'd remind her of some artistically and monetarily successful novelists who were late bloomers: Umberto Eco wrote a lot of non-fiction before his first novel, The Name of the Rose, was published when he was 50. Alan Bradley was 71 when his excellent first novel, The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie, was published. Many such cases.Credits:The opening music clip was from The Sun Sets at Dawn (1950), and the transitional and closing music were from The Big Combo (1955), both films in the public domain.

En el presente episodio tendremos el placer de volver a contar con Artur Sala, investigador, escritor y divulgador licenciado en Física por la Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona. Creador del magnífico blog “La Ciencia Perdida”, el cual derivó en la igualmente magnífica obra “Ciencia Magna” y miembro activo de la Universidad Viviente del Terreno. Según nos afirmara el propio Artur estás ante su primera entrevista en torno a una de las mayores ocultaciones de la ciencia y es que nos hablará al detalle de la denominada como fusión fría, es decir, una reacción nuclear a temperaturas y presiones cercanas a las condiciones ambiente ordinarias, de una manera tan rigurosa como evidenciada, al igual que efectuada por Martin Fleischmann y Stanley Pons (electroquímicos de la Universidad de Utah) el 23 de marzo del año 1989, aunque los soviéticos poseían este conocimiento desde los años 60. Pero no solamente ello, sino que trataremos diversos interesantes temas, tales como la patente de transmisión de energía inalámbrica de Nikola Tesla de 18 de abril del año 1905 (U.S. 787-412) o la realidad que subyace bajo las denominadas como armas nucleares, además de diversas cuestiones de sumo interés. Estás ante un muy completo y revelador episodio que no puedes perderte.

The parable of the Unjust Steward in Luke 16 has given many people trouble over the years. It has the appearance of approving of the unrighteous actions of the steward. Yet, what is the shrewdness he is praised for? Father Jeremiah directs us to see that shrewdness is betting everything on the Master's generosity and mercy while seeking new homes to live in.

Hedvig Eleonora av Holstein-Gottorp (1636-1715) spelade en viktig roll i de svenska kungafamiljen. Hon var Sveriges drottning i sex år, men de facto Sveriges första dam till sin död 1715. Som änkedrottning var hon medlem i både Karl XI:s och Karl XII:s förmyndarregeringar. Idag är hon mest känd som 1600-talets största slottsbyggare.Hedvig Eleonora från furstendömet Holstein-Gottorp giftes bort med Karl X som artonåring, men det harmoniska äktenskapet blev kort då kungen dog efter bara fem år. Som gift med Karl X, mor åt Karl XI samt farmor åt Karl XII arbetade hon för ett starkt kungahus under stormaktstiden. Sent i livet skulle hon för döva öron vädja till Karl XII att sluta fred med sina fiender.I denna repris av podden Historia Nu samtar programledaren Urban Lindstedt med Eva Helena Ulvros, professor emerita i historia vid Lunds universitet. Hon är aktuell med biografin Hedvig Eleonora och hennes tid.Hedvig Eleonora föddes 1636 på slottet Gottorp som dotter till hertig Fredrik III av Holstein-Gottorp och Maria Elisabeth av Sachsen. Hennes äktenskap med Karl X var rent politiskt som de flesta kungliga äktenskap vid denna tid. Hennes make Karl X Gustav dog redan i februari 1660. Ett dygn före sin död dikterade han sitt testamente för att trygga sin ”kära makas”, sin sons och sitt rikes framtid. Den döende kungen överlämnade riket till sin unga maka och en förmyndarregering.
Hedvig Eleonora har setts som svag i förmyndarregeringen för Karl XI, men hon hade en tydlig linje i utrikespolitiken där hon gärna främjade Hollstein-Gottorps intressen. Drottningen accepterade den makt som riksrådet erbjöd henne, men den unga Hedvig Eleonora hade svårt att hävda kungamaktens ställning gentemot aristokratin. Hon tog ganska ringa del i förmyndarstyret, och då Karl XI senare anklagade förmyndarstyrelsen för försummelse kom han att helt frikalla sin mor från ansvar. Förmyndarregeringen varade till 1672, då Karl XI blev myndig.
Hedvig Eleonoras praktfulla hov och intresse för kultur satte ett stort avtryck i landet. Änkedrottningens Drottningholm var under flera decennier i slutet av 1600-talet landets största slottsbygge. Slottbyggandet var för Hedvig Eleonora ett sätt att markera sin ställning gentemot den svenska adeln och samtida europeiska furstar. Drottningen ägnade sig gärna åt balett- och teaterföreställningar på slottet, som under hela hennes livstid var rikets kulturcentrum Den gamla änkedrottningen blev förmyndare för Karl XII och fyra år senare, 1697, åter medlem i en förmyndarregering. Nu var Hedvig Eleonora en erfaren kvinna som inte tyngdes av sina 61 år, och hon var aktiv i utrikespolitiken mot Danmark till förmån för Holstein-Gottorp. Hennes kontakter till det gamla hemlandet tilltog ytterligare när hennes sondotter Hedvig Sofia gifte sig med sin kusin hertig Fredrik IV av Holstein-Gottorp.

It is easy for us to reduce Jesus' call to discipleship to a mere way of following him. The reality is that the discipleship that Jesus demands of us is one that will lead to our deaths! His call is one that is utterly beyond our abilities. He wants to us realize our complete need for his grace and his death so that we can be enabled to walk the path before each of us.Image: Christ Carrying the Cross, Titian, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons.

Det finns begrepp som fångar tidsandan oerhört väl, oavsett om vi betraktar kungars och kejsares matvanor och konstnärliga smak eller om vi skärskådar vanliga bönders estetiska uppfattning. Ett sådant begrepp är barocken, som i Sverige är intimt förknippad med stormaktstiden.Barocken var en vidareutveckling av 1500-talets antikvurmande renässans inom konst och arkitektur. Stilen kännetecknades av stora och svulstiga former med konvexa och konkava inslag, riklig pompa och ståt, samt ett starkt fokus på ljusdunkel, dramatiska rörelser och – särskilt i parker – sträng symmetri. Stilen passade utmärkt för 1600-talets absoluta statsmakter med enväldiga furstar, vilka manifesterade sin makt i många europeiska riken. Den användes även för att förhärliga kristendomen, både i dess protestantiska och katolska form, och nådde därmed ut till landsbygdens socknar och deras kyrkor.I Västsverige har termen ”bondbarock” myntats för att beskriva de kulturella ideal som slog rot i bondesamhället när stilen sipprade ned genom de sociala hierarkierna. Men barocken var mer än så: den omfattade musikaliska experiment, gigantiska slottsbyggen, vetenskapliga framsteg, pestkyrkor och den svenska skönlitteraturens födelse, med namn som Georg Stiernhielm och Lasse Lucidor. Även en av våra mest kända svenska psalmer – ”Den blomstertid nu kommer” – är ett barn av barocktiden.I detta avsnitt av podden Harrisons dramatiska historia samtalar Dick Harrison, professor i historia vid Lunds universitet, och fackboksförfattaren Katarina Harrison Lindbergh om barocken – den stil- och kulturyttring som präglade Europa under 1600-talet och de första decennierna av 1700-talet.Bild: "Fontana di Trevi i Rom, ett praktfullt exempel på barockens formspråk med sina dramatiska rörelser, symmetriska komposition och skulpturala överdåd.

Air Date 8/16/2025 There's the old Douglas Adams quote stating that, "Anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job" which is a good general rule to live by. But then there are the real baddies, those would-be leaders who possess one or more of the dark triad of traits that spells real doom for the societies that elevate them to power: narcissism, psychopathy, and machiavellianism. Today we compare and contrast Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, and Benjamin Netanyahu. Xi Jinping also fits nicely on this list as an honorable mention but happens to not be part of the focus today.

The largest sea creature of all time was recently discovered—but in the middle of a desert in Peru! Scientists found the fossilized remains of an ancient whale, believed to have lived over 30 million years ago. This massive creature, called Perucetus colossus, could have weighed up to 200 tons, rivaling or even surpassing today's blue whales. Finding it in a desert is wild, but back in its day, that area was underwater, part of a prehistoric ocean. Its bones were so dense and heavy that researchers think it might've been a slow swimmer, spending most of its time floating and feeding. This discovery is rewriting what we know about ancient marine life and just how gigantic creatures could get!

I september 1944 tvingades den finska armén vända sina vapen mot sina tidigare bundsförvanter i den tyska 20. bergsarmén i norra Finland. Vapenstilleståndet med Sovjetunionen den 18 september innebar ett krav på att finnarna skulle driva ut tyskarna ur Lappland.Inledningsvis utspelade sig ett slags ”låtsaskrig”, men under sovjetiskt tryck övergick konflikten i början av oktober 1944 till regelrätta strider mellan finska och tyska styrkor. Under sin reträtt brände tyskarna ner det mesta av värde, däribland stora delar av staden Rovaniemi. Tiotusentals människor tvingades på flykt.I detta avsnitt av Militärhistoriepodden diskuterar Martin Hårdstedt och Peter Bennesved Lapplandskriget 1944–45, som markerade slutet på andra världskriget för Finland. Kriget bör inte ses som ett isolerat skeende, utan snarare som en del av en helhet tillsammans med Vinterkriget 1939–40 och Fortsättningskriget 1941–44 – tre faser i Finlands komplexa krigsdeltagande.Lapplandskriget blev en stor utmaning för Finland. Samtidigt som tyskarna skulle drivas ut, krävde Sovjet att Finland påbörjade en omfattande demobilisering av armén, i enlighet med vapenstilleståndsavtalet. Till detta kom ett utmattat civilsamhälle och hundratusentals flyktingar från Karelen, som återigen måste avträda till Sovjetunionen. Tiden präglades av osäkerhet – en sovjetisk (formellt allierad) kontrollkommission bevakade noggrant Finlands agerande. Hotet om en fullständig sovjetisk ockupation hängde i luften.Trots detta lyckades den finska armén genomföra militära operationer som tillfredsställde Sovjet. Den tyska armén, som omfattade över 200 000 man, retirerade successivt mot Nordnorge. De sista tyska trupperna lämnade finskt territorium så sent som i slutet av april 1945.Bildtext: Rovaniemi i ruiner efter tysk reträtt under Lapplandskriget hösten 1944.

Det romerska riket var antikens största och mest inflytelserika imperium. Från att ha varit en liten stadsstat på några kullar vid Tibern, omgiven av etruskiska grannar, utvecklades Rom under 300‑ och 200‑talen f.Kr. till en stormakt i sydvästra Europa och Nordafrika. Därefter växte det till ett kejsardöme som sträckte sig från Skottland i nordväst till Mesopotamien i sydöst – Medelhavet blev i praktiken en romersk insjö.Men hur började det? Byggdes Rom verkligen på sju kullar? Fanns det någon sanning bakom sagan om Romulus och Remus, bebisarna räddade av en varginna, som sedan växte upp till hämndlystna och modiga stadsgrundare? Vem var Lucretia, vars självmord gjorde henne till en kvinnlig förebild för romarna vid Tibern? Hur kunde det lilla Rom underkasta alla grannstäder och skapa ett politiskt system som möjliggjorde expansion åt alla håll? Hur utvecklades strategin "söndra och härska"? Och vilka sanningar finns i Asterix-albumen?I detta avsnitt av podden Harrisons dramatiska historia samtalar Dick Harrison, professor i historia vid Lunds universitet, och Katarina Harrison Lindbergh, fackboksförfattare, om det äldsta Rom. Vi möter både tveksamma hjältedramer och historiska analyser av Forum Romanum, en skildring av det ursprungliga proletariatet och det dödliga nätverket som romarnas stormän utvecklade kring sina residens.Bild: Romulus och Remus diar vargen vid en flodstrand (eftert.

In this episode, Dan and Steve Fouts are joined by Mitchell Conway to explore a quote from Henry David Thoreau: “It's not a man's duty as a matter of course, to devote himself to the eradication of any, even the most enormous wrong, but it is his duty at least to wash his hands of it.” Mitchell shares his diverse experiences in education, emphasizing the importance of philosophy in teaching across various age groups. The discussion explores the role of age in philosophical discourse, the transformative potential of education, and the significance of the Teach Different Method. Together they unpack Thoreau's views on civil disobedience, reflecting on the ethical responsibilities individuals hold in the face of injustice.   Chapters 00:00 - Introduction 00:10 - Mitch's Background in Philosophy and Education 02:14 - The Role of Philosophy in Education 04:55 - Philosophy for All Ages 07:19 - The Misconception of Youth and Philosophy 10:24 - The Importance of Open-Mindedness 13:18 - The Teach Different Method Explained 16:22 - Thoreau's Quote on Civil Disobedience 18:54 - Interpreting Thoreau's Message 22:02 - Real-World Applications of Thoreau's Ideas 24:45 - The Duty to Act Against Injustice 27:49 - The Complexity of Ethical Obligations 30:57 - Conclusion and Reflections on Responsibility 41:12 - Thoreau's Moral Duty and Civil Disobedience 43:42 - The Complexity of Ethical Obligations 44:43 - Criteria for Opposing Injustice 46:17 - Exploring Civil Disobedience 48:57 - Philosophy Walk on Civil Disobedience 49:44 - The Role of Education in Philosophy 51:07 - Teach Different Outro  Image Source: National Portrait Gallery, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons

Several years ago, the most expensive piece of artwork went on auction in New York. The bidding left people gasping as the price skyrocketed and setting a record. As astonishing as that may sound, the bidding account that Moses describes here in Genesis surpasses it easily.  However, it wasn't a painting, but people, on the block.

In this episode of the Teach Different podcast, Dan and Steve Fouts explore the wisdom of Benjamin Franklin through the quote, “By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.”. They discuss the claim of the quote: the importance of preparation is essential in setting yourself up for success. They explore the counterclaim: the importance of going with the flow instead of preparing too much, especially when it comes to teaching and parenting. Lastly, they pose some essential questions for further considerations in your discussions of the quote.   Image Source: Joseph-Siffred Duplessis, CC0, via Wikimedia Commons https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3b/Benjamin_Franklin_%281706%E2%80%931790%29_MET_DP312881.jpg

Why would the Creator of the universe wear dusty sandals and walk among the people He made? This thought-provoking piece explores how Jesus’ incarnation redefines our understanding of humility, authority, and the nature of true leadership. Far from distant, the divine stepped into history — with skin, sandals, and scars.

In the early 1960s, R.J. Reynolds, one of the largest and most profitable tobacco companies in the U.S. at the time, wanted to diversify its business. Its marketing strategies had been highly successful in selling its top brands, like Camel, Winston and Salem cigarettes, and executives thought, Why not apply the same strategies to, say, the food industry?So in 1963, R.J. Reynolds acquired Hawaiian Punch. It marked the beginning of the tobacco industry's entry into the food sector. In the following decades, R.J. Reynolds and Philip Morris expanded aggressively into the food industry, acquiring major brands, like Del Monte, Nabisco, General Foods, Kraft and 7UP, where they produced hyperpalatable, chemically-engineered foods now known as ultra-processed foods, or UPFs. These products were marketed especially to children and other vulnerable groups. In Berkeley Talks episode 229, Laura Schmidt, a professor of health policy in the School of Medicine at UC San Francisco, discusses how ultra-processed foods — like cookies, sodas, instant noodles, fish sticks and cereals — are a direct legacy of the tobacco industry, and are responsible for a dramatic rise in obesity, diabetes and other chronic diseases across the country. “About 60% of the calories in Americans' diets are from ultra-processed foods,” says Schmidt, who spoke at a UC Berkeley event in May. “In the mid-'80s, when we see ultra-processed foods starting to scale up in the American food supply, we also see obesity starting to really rise. That is the moment when some of the largest food companies are owned by tobacco companies.”This talk took place on May 5, 2025, and was co-sponsored by the Berkeley Food Institute (BFI) and Berkeley Public Health. It was moderated by Isabel Madzorera, an assistant professor in food, nutrition and population health at Berkeley Public Health and co-faculty director at the Berkeley Food Institute.Watch a video of the event on the Berkeley Food Institute's YouTube page.Listen to the episode and read the transcript on UC Berkeley News (news.berkeley.edu/podcasts).Music by HoliznaCC0.Photo by Cory Doctorow via Wikimedia Commons.

In the latest in our series on belief, we’re looking at China’s official belief system—Marxism. In recent years, netizens have argued China has entered the ‘garbage time’ of history, a phrase borrowed from the dying minutes of a basketball game, which now references a crisis of trust in the Communist Party and its official ideology. To ask whether Marxism still exists in China, and how Marx influences the Chinese state, we’re joined by two guests: Alison Sile Chen Zhao, a University of California political analyst and the author of Her Battles, and Professor Xu Chenggang, a senior research fellow at the Stanford Center on China's Economy and Institutions, and the author of Institutional Genes: Origins of China’s Institutions and Totalitarianism.

Probably Poland's most iconic sound, the hejnał mariacki (literally "Saint Mary's dawn") is a trumpet call that sounds every hour on the hour from the highest tower of St Mary's Church in Kraków's rynek glówny (main square).  The bugler plays the same call four times, once in each of the cardinal directions. This tradition dates back to medieval times, when the call was used to signal the opening and closing of the city gates at dawn and dusk. It was also played to alarm citizens of fires or enemy invasion.  The theme's abrupt end commemorates the Mongol-Tatar siege of 1241, when the trumpeter warning the city of the imminent threat was shot in the throat by an arrow mid-way through the call.  Or so the legend goes... I made this recording a couple of months after moving to Kraków as part of a project through which I attempted to reconnect with my Polish-Jewish heritage and, in a more general sense, to explore the experience of migration through sound.

"This piece reimagines a field recording of everyday people calling out, treating their voices not just as source material, but as the foundation. Approached with deep intention, it aimed to honour the original rhythms and harmonies of the callers without overpowering them.  "The composition moves between ambient stillness and percussive energy, layering textures like tracked flute and analogue synth around the calls to reflect a natural, evolving dialogue. At its core, the work is about preservation through transformation, responding to what already resonates with care, space, and trust."

Achou que a Primeira Guerra Mundial foi o primeiro conflito global? Achou errado, freund! A Guerra dos Sete Anos (1756-1763) é considerada, por diversos autores, como a primeira guerra global, pois envolveu potências europeias com vastas áreas coloniais. Motivada por disputas de território e, sobretudo, interesses econômicos, a amplitude e descontinuidade geográfica do conflito determinou a existência de uma multiplicidade de espaços operacionais com características próprias. Calce suas botas, atenda ao pedido de Sua Alteza e embarque no conflito que remodelou o mundo, no final do séc XVIII. Patronato do SciCast: 1. Patreon SciCast 2. Apoia.se/Scicast 3.

Best known as the wife and partner of Timothy Leary, Rosemary Woodruff was in fact a central figure in the psychedelic movement in her own right—a political radical, underground fugitive, and neglected architect of the counterculture. In this episode, Phil and JF speak with journalist and author Susannah Cahalan about Woodruff Leary's life and legacy. Cahalan's new book, The Acid Queen: The Psychedelic Life and Counterculture Rebellion of Rosemary Woodruff Leary, brings its subject into focus as a complex and courageous individual whose story has been overshadowed for too long. The conversation follows the threads of the biography while branching into the weirdness of biographical writing, the ongoing relevance of the 1960s counterculture, the troubling figure of Timothy Leary, and the enduring promise—and peril—of psychedelics. Susannah Cahalan is the New York Times bestselling author of Brain on Fire, a memoir about her experience with autoimmune encephalitis. Her second book, The Great Pretender, which investigated a seminal study in the history of mental health care and diagnosis, was shortlisted for the the Royal Society's 2020 Science Book Prize. She lives in New Jersey with her family. Photo from the Los Angeles Times Photographic Collection at UCLA, via Wikimedia Commons.

As 20-year-old Olga Janáčková lay dying from typhoid fever, her father wrote down everything she said. Later, he transformed those words—and gasps—into music. The grieving father, Czech composer Leoš Janáček, called the ultra-short musical pieces "speech melodies." In this episode, language writer Michael Erard invites cellist Petronella Torin to play Olga's speech melodies. NYU's Michael Beckerman describes the controversy surrounding them. This is among countless ways that loved ones have memorialized the final words of the dying. Michael Erard tells the stories of many of them in his new book, Bye Bye I Love You. Music in this episode by Magnus Ludvigsson, Medité, Dream Cave, Nylonia, Alexandra Woodward, Cobby Costa, August Wilhelmsson, David Celeste, Martin Landstrom, Gavin Luke, Rand Also, Airae, Alan Ellis, Jules Gaia, Trabant 33, and Leoš Janáček. More about cellist Petronella Torin here. The photo (via Wikimedia Commons) shows Olga Janáčková, daughter of the Czech composer Leoš Janáček, not long before her death from typhoid fever.

In this episode, JF and Phil paddle into the marshlands of Algernon Blackwood's 1907 masterpiece The Willows, a tale Lovecraft once called the finest weird story of all time. They explore how a narrative in which almost nothing happens can conjure a cosmic dread more potent than a legion of monsters, and how Blackwood's genius lies in revealing the spiritual horror latent in landscape itself. Topics include zones, the limits of human reason, and the terror of brushing up against an otherworld that lies just beyond the riverbank—near at hand, yet somehow separated from us by an unbridgeable gulf.

Read Online“Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in him. If God is glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and he will glorify him at once.”  John 13:31–32Jesus speaks this line about Himself being glorified immediately after Judas leaves the supper to go forth to betray Him. Jesus had just finished washing the feet of His disciples, and soon He would finish the Last Supper, go to the Garden of Gethsemane, be arrested, beaten and crucified. And this was to all take place through the betrayal of one of the Twelve. Yet rather than speak of these pending events in a fearful or anxious way, Jesus points to the glory He will receive through them.Everything in life has the potential to become an instrument of the glory of God. Even our sin can end in God's glory when we repent and receive God's forgiveness. It will not be our sin that glorifies God but His mercy poured forth from the Cross upon us that gives Him glory.The same is true with the events of Holy Week. When looked at from a purely human perspective, what Jesus endured was tragic and horrific. One of His closest companions betrayed Him. The religious leaders of the time betrayed Him. The civil authorities betrayed Him. And all of the disciples except John fled in fear as Jesus was betrayed. But Jesus did not look at any of this through human eyes alone. He saw it all from the eternal perspective and clearly taught that all of these seemingly tragic events would end in His glory.When we commit ourselves to the following of Christ, we can be assured that we will also share in His Cross. We will experience the sins of others, encounter mistreatment, and have to endure various sufferings. The question for us all as we have these encounters in life is whether we will endure them in anger and despair or with the hopeful confidence of our Lord. Again, everything in life has the potential to become an instrument of the glory of God. Nothing in life has the power to steal away that glory when we keep our eyes upon the will of God and His power to use all for His glory. Reflect, today, upon your call in life to see everything from the divine perspective. If you are upset, angry, despairing or confused at times, know that God wants to bring clarity and grace to every situation. He wants to show you how you can share in His divine mission of transforming every evil into God's glory. Seek out the ways that your life must give glory to God in everything, especially those things that seem incapable of being used for good. The more an experience in life seems incapable of being used for God's glory, the more that experience is capable of giving true glory to God. My glorious Lord, You brought forth good from all things. Even the grave evil of Your betrayal was transformed into a manifestation of Your glory. I offer to You, dear Lord, all that I endure in life and pray that You will be glorified in all things, and that my life will continually become a manifestation of the glory due Your holy name. Jesus, I trust in You.  Source of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2025 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.
