Read OnlineJesus went to the Mount of Olives. But early in the morning he arrived again in the temple area, and all the people started coming to him, and he sat down and taught them. Then the scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery and made her stand in the middle. John 8:1–3What a painful and humiliating experience this must have been for this woman! Fortunately, the Savior of the World was there to care for her and to help her navigate this situation through His abundant mercy. Though she was a sinner, God's mercy offered a remedy for her sin and its consequences.Interestingly, this story is not included in some of the most ancient manuscripts of the Gospel of John. Saint Augustine believed that it was excluded by some of the early copyists of this Gospel because they were moral rigorists and were scandalized by the depths of Jesus' mercy. They feared that if this incredible act of mercy was conveyed to others, it would lead to a relaxation of moral rules.The scribes and Pharisees who brought this woman to Jesus also appeared to be scandalized by Jesus' mercy. Thus, the depths of mercy offered to this woman was one of many occasions in which Jesus was merciful to a point that was hard for the people to comprehend.How about you? How far are you willing to go when it comes to mercy? It is easy for us to resort to condemnation when we see the sins of others. We might feel justified in condemning them and even obliged to do so out of a desire to condemn sin itself. But Jesus' action shows that the sin must not be equated with the sinner. Sin must be condemned and was condemned by our Lord when He said to this woman, “Go, and from now on do not sin any more.” Though He condemned her sin, he did not condemn her: “Neither do I condemn you.”The mercy of God is incomprehensible. For example, recall that Jesus cried out from the Cross, “Father, forgive them, they know not what they do.” Imagine the surprise that the first hearers of those words would have had. How could this man ask that God forgive the people who were murdering Him? Perhaps the only person who truly understood this prayer of mercy from the Cross was Jesus' own mother as she stood there gazing at Him with love.An important lesson for us to learn from Jesus' depth of mercy is that, at first, it will most likely scandalize us also. Mercy to this extent is supernatural. It challenges our natural reason and calls us to a new way of thinking and relating to others. The only way to overcome the “scandal” we might feel in the face of God's mercy is to live it ourselves. Doing so will require that we put on new eyes to see sin, mercy and forgiveness through the eyes of God. If doing so shakes you to the core of your being, that might be a good sign. Are you allowing the apparent scandal of God's abundant mercy to transform you so that it is no longer a shock or scandal to you, but is experienced as good and holy and from the Heart of our God? Reflect, today, upon how deeply you understand God's mercy. Do you rejoice when mercy is offered to another? Or do you find yourself condemning? Our Lord said, “Let the one among you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.” None of us are without sin; therefore, none of us has the right to cast a stone at another. Allow the apparent scandal of God's mercy to challenge you so that you come to not only understand God's infinite mercy but also to act as an instrument of that mercy to everyone. Most merciful Lord, You came to call the sinner to repentance and salvation. You offer mercy and forgiveness in superabundance. When faced with the sins of others, help me to imitate Your love for them and to show mercy and compassion to the greatest degree. I love You, Lord. Help me to love You and others with Your Heart of merciful love. Jesus, I trust in You.Image via Adobe StockSource of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2025 My Catholic Life! Inc.

2025.03.16 Ms Sydney Foster All of Your Heart by

Saturday is review day on The Daily Promise. Every Saturday, we review the promises of the week so we can allow them to go deep into our hearts and lives. Here are the promises we covered this week. Galatians 3:26 – You are a Child of the Living God. Ephesians 1:2 – Jesus Brings Grace and Peace. Jeremiah 29:13 – Seek the Lord With all Your Heart. Isaiah 40:29 – God Gives Strength to the Weary. Ephesians 2:10 – I Am God's Handiwork.

Hey, friends! It's your favorite delusionally young optimist, Debbie Nigro, back with another Wellness Wednesday where we keep the "live" in alive! If you missed the show, here's a rapid-fire rundown of what we talked about—because, let's be honest, I covered a lot. Buckle up! 1. Do We Age in Bursts? Apparently, OMG Yes! Scientists have confirmed what we already suspected—one day, you wake up and bam, you've aged five years overnight. Studies show major aging jumps around age 44 and 60 (so if you're near one of those, hydrate and brace yourself). Researchers analyzed DNA, proteins, and other molecular markers to prove that aging isn't a slow, gradual process—it's like nature's version of a surprise party, but instead of balloons, you get wrinkles.   2. Your Heart is Aging, But Science is Catching Up! Heart disease is still the #1 cause of death, but treatments are better than ever. The heart actually stiffens as we age—apparently, moisturizer won't fix this one. New cardiology advancements are helping older patients live longer, healthier lives—yay for progress!   3. Ping Pong Could Help Parkinson's Patients—And It's Pretty Cool A man with Parkinson's found that playing ping pong helped him regain movement—and now thousands of patients worldwide are following suit. New York City even has a dedicated Ping Pong for Parkinson's program (and I was ahead of the curve on this story, thank you very much). Bonus: Ping pong is fun, so even if you don't have Parkinson's, grab a paddle and get moving!   4. Measles Outbreaks—Yep, They're Back (Ugh) Measles was eliminated in the U.S. in 2000, but now cases are popping up in Texas, New Mexico, and even New York. Pregnant women and young kids are especially at risk, so let's stay informed and proactive. This is your friendly reminder to double-check your vaccination records (if you can actually find them).   5. Pheromones, Love Chemicals, and the $100 Attraction Boost Did you know you can buy pheromone perfume additives to increase your attraction factor? Dr. Winifred Cutler discovered human pheromones in 1986, bottled them up, and now you can buy them for $100 a pop.   Do we really need them, or do we just need to get out more? Hmm…   6. Collagen Loading—The Fountain of Youth? I've been doubling up on collagen, and I swear I feel the difference. It helps joints, skin, hair, and nails, but you have to stick with it for at least three months to see real results. If you're impatient, "collagen loading" (taking a double dose for the first month) can help speed things up.    7. Strawberries & the Norovirus—Wash Those Berries, People! The FDA is warning that strawberries might carry norovirus—yes, the one that makes you wish you never ate again. How to avoid getting sick? Wash them thoroughly under running water (yes, even the pre-washed ones). A vinegar soak (3 parts water, 1 part vinegar) can also help cut down on germs.    8. Spring Break Travel Warnings—Stay Safe, Folks! Some Caribbean destinations now have heightened safety alerts from the U.S. State Department. If you're traveling, stick with your friends and avoid risky situations (especially late at night). A tragic story about a missing college student in the Dominican Republic is a sobering reminder to stay vigilant.      9. Ozempic & Mounjaro—More Than Just Weight Loss? New research suggests these popular weight-loss drugs may reduce inflammation in the brain, potentially helping Parkinson's and Alzheimer's patients. But there's a catch—stop taking them, and your body might go right back to square one.    10. Where Can You Breathe the Cleanest Air? Only seven countries met the World Health Organization's air quality standards in 2024. If you want fresh air, head to Australia, New Zealand, The Bahamas, Barbados, Grenada, Estonia, or Iceland. The U.S.? Not on the list. (Might need to rethink those travel plans.)   Final Thought: The Key to Longevity is... LIVING! Inspired by Arianna Huffington's latest piece, I want to remind you—longevity is great, but don't get so caught up in living long that you forget to live well. Focus on joy, love, and purpose—not just extending your years, but making those year's worth it.   Oh, and if someone texts you the word ‘slay', make sure you know that means you've done an exceptionally good job (thank you, Gen Z, for keeping me on my toes). So, if you ask me I think I've pretty much ‘slayed' this week's Wellness Wednesday Report! Remember, we're all just trying to keep the live in alive—so let's do it with energy, laughter, and maybe a little collagen.  Follow me for more fun, wellness insights, and Debservations on life! @Debservations on Instagram and @TheRealDebbieNigro Facebook The Debbie Nigro Show Sign up for my free newsletter at DebbieNigro.com Until next time—stay fabulous!

God comforts us so that we can comfort others.* I found that comfort before that nurse found her words,before she found my results. And that's all we're ever doing...Can we reach not for the familiar comforts,but for the only comfort?The Comforter.

Pastor Ed Rea Romans 2:17-29 | The Heart of the Matter or How's Your Heart? In Romans 2, Paul exposes hypocrisy—the gap between religious appearance and true faith. He confronts both the self-righteous and those who trust in religious rituals rather than a genuine heart surrendered to God. True faith isn't about outward actions but an inward transformation through Christ. Join us as we explore what it means to live with integrity, avoid self-deception, and embrace the grace of God that leads to real change.

Hi everyone! I'm thrilled to welcome multi-award-winning children's book author Renée Greene Murphy to the show this week. Renée is the author of Your Heart's Voice,  one of the first children's picture books on intuition, which she lovingly dedicated to her younger brother, who tragically passed away in 2022. In this heartfelt episode, Renée shares the inspiration behind her book, how grief shaped its development and the spiritual symbolism woven throughout its pages. We'll also hear an excerpt from this beautifully written story designed to help children embrace self-awareness and intuition. Don't miss this inspiring conversation! IN THIS EPISODE:[1:48] Renée shares why she wrote the book[4:23] There were no accessible resources for children on the topic of intuition[7:01] How the book was restructured after the death of her brother[10:13] Where you can get your copy of Your Heart's Voice, [11:54] We hear an excerpt from Your Heart's Voice KEY TAKEAWAYS:In 2018, a New York State-certified school counselor and mother of two noticed a lack of children's picture books on intuition, a vital life tool. With three master's degrees and 10 years of experience, she was inspired to fill this gap.The tragic loss of Renée's younger brother in 2022 deeply impacted her, with writing serving as a therapeutic outlet to cope with the shock, anger, and depression of grief.The book incorporates numerous spiritual elements, including angel numbers, symbolic animals like a cardinal, dragonfly, and turtle, and settings like the beach, where the author feels most connected to her intuition—all reflecting themes of guidance, resilience, and celebrating her brother.Subscribe to Reenita's Storytelling Den on Substack for free or become a paid subscriber to watch the video version of this episode and be eligible to receive other extras such as exclusive content from podcast guests, short stories, exclusive fiction and more! https://substack.com/@reenitahora Reenita is also on Patreon!

It's often said that wisdom may create wealth, but wealth rarely creates wisdom.What's more valuable, wisdom or wealth? Before you answer, consider that wealth is fleeting, but wisdom is never lost. John Cortines joins us today to discuss why wisdom over wealth is always the right choice.John Cortines is the Director of Grantmaking at The Maclellan Foundation and previously served as the Chief Operations Officer at Generous Giving. He is the co-author of God and Money: How We Discovered True Riches at Harvard Business School and True Riches: What Jesus Really Said About Money and Your Heart.A Study in Ecclesiastes: Wisdom Over WealthFor the last year, John has been working on an in-depth study for FaithFi titled "Wisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on Money." The study is designed to help believers align their financial decisions with biblical principles.At the heart of the study is a profound truth: while wisdom and wealth are both valuable, only wisdom can preserve life.A Tale of Three Siblings: The Power of WisdomTo illustrate Ecclesiastes's message, John shares a real-life story that highlights the stark contrast between wisdom and wealth:Three siblings each inherited $1 million at age 18—a life-changing sum. Yet, their paths diverged dramatically:The first sibling followed a path similar to the Prodigal Son (Luke 15:11-32), squandering their wealth and ending up in financial ruin. The second sibling made some wise decisions but ultimately spent beyond their means, leaving them with little to show for the inheritance. The third sibling sought wisdom, meeting with godly mentors and hiring a Christian financial advisor. They learned about generosity, investing, and stewardship. Today, they glorify God with their finances and have built a stable foundation for the future.This story powerfully illustrates that wisdom can generate wealth, but wealth rarely generates wisdom.Why Prioritizing Wisdom MattersEcclesiastes sheds light on this principle in Ecclesiastes 7:11-12:"Wisdom, like an inheritance, is a good thing and benefits those who see the sun. Wisdom is a shelter as money is a shelter, but the advantage of knowledge is this: wisdom preserves those who have it."John shares three lessons from this passage that we can take from this:Wealth is useful, but it is temporary.Wisdom is lasting, offering protection, guidance, and life.Without wisdom, wealth can be destructive.While Scripture never condemns wealth, it warns us to prioritize wisdom above financial gain.Thanks to compound interest and investments, wealth tends to grow exponentially throughout life. However, wisdom doesn't grow automatically—it requires intentional effort.If wealth outpaces wisdom, it creates danger. But when wisdom leads, it preserves our life and financial well-being.This is especially critical during sudden wealth events, such as receiving an inheritance, a bonus, or selling a business. Without wisdom, wealth can disappear quickly.So, if wisdom is more valuable than wealth, how do we pursue it?Wisdom isn't just a set of principles—it's a person. 1 Corinthians 1:24 refers to Jesus as:"Christ, the power of God and the wisdom of God."True wisdom begins with knowing Christ. It's about seeking Him through prayer, studying His Word, and surrounding yourself with godly counsel.Wisdom Before Wealth: A Message for ParentsFor those preparing to transfer wealth to the next generation, we must prioritize passing down wisdom first.The great wealth transfer is happening all around us, but money without wisdom can be destructive. Parents should talk about finances, generosity, and stewardship long before an inheritance is passed down.Here's how to transfer wisdom before wealth:Start financial conversations early, even with young children.Encourage responsible financial habits.Model biblical stewardship in your own life.Consider gradual giving instead of a lump sum inheritance.The worst approach is to write a will, wait until you pass away, and hope your kids figure it out. Open the conversation today.The Larger Message of Ecclesiastes: Jesus is Our Ultimate WisdomThroughout the book of Ecclesiastes, there are two major themes:The Shortness of Life—Ecclesiastes mentions death in 11 out of its 12 chapters. This isn't to bring fear but to remind us to live with urgency and purpose. Aligning Finances with Faith—Money is a tool, but it must be managed in light of God's eternal kingdom.Life is short. Let's honor God with our time, talents, and treasure. Wisdom is ultimately found in Jesus Christ. When we align our hearts with Him, our finances, decisions, and entire lives are transformed. Let's pursue wisdom over wealth, knowing that true riches are found in Christ.As you consider your finances, ask yourself:Am I pursuing wisdom as much as I pursue wealth?Am I making financial decisions based on biblical principles?Am I preparing my children and loved ones to handle money wisely?Money is temporary. Wisdom is eternal. Choose wisely.FaithFi's Newest Study: Wisdom Over WealthIf you'd like to dive deeper into FaithFi's new study, Wisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on Money is available for pre-order now at FaithFi.com/Shop.

Amanda Joyce, a #1 bestselling author and health coach with roots on a ranch that nurtured her deep connection to nature, is driven by her top values of balance, peace, health, well-being, wisdom, intelligence, freedom, and happiness. Passionate about equipping people with whole, cheerful hearts that thrive despite life's challenges, Amanda has raised tens of thousands of dollars for blood cancer research and the American Heart Association and earned global recognition for her advocacy in revolutionary immunotherapy. Through the healing power of nature, heart-centered research, transformative coaching, and heartfelt, award-winning writing, she inspires others to embrace healthier heart habits, cultivate resilience, and create lives anchored in balance, joy, and freedom.“Amanda Joyce Jensen will always remember the night she told her 4-year-old son, Kezman, that his father, Marshall, had died of cancer – and how Kezman said he already knew because ‘Daddy came to me first.' He cried as he drew a picture of his dad standing at the end of the hallway, wearing a red superhero cape, flying into his thoughts. The euphemisms that adults often use to soften the shock can be confusing to a child of such a young age – that someone is “lost” or “passed away” – so his mother talked with Kezman gently but directly. He grasped more clearly than she had imagined that his father was gone and never coming back.”Read her full story in 2 recent articles about childhood grief where a journalist interviewed Amanda about her experience.https://www.sltrib.com/news/health/2025/01/27/utah-has-taken-groundbreaking-step/https://mindsitenews.org/2025/01/23/grief-in-children-soaring/Her book, Marshalling Beats of Your Heart can be found at this link:https://a.co/d/c1s6AUb. This April she has a course called Unpack Your Heart for caregivers and those who've experienced loss- watch for that on her website amandajoyce.com or https://amandjoyce.com.You can find me on Instagram, Facebook and X as aceamandajoyce since I'm certified through ACE- empowering transformation through lifestyle behavior change.

Read OnlineOn the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene ran and went to Simon Peter and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and told them, “They have taken the Lord from the tomb, and we do not know where they put him.” So Peter and the other disciple went out and came to the tomb. John 20:1–3It's interesting that Saint John refers to himself as the disciple “whom Jesus loved.” Of course, Jesus loved all people. He loved all of the disciples. But in John's Gospel, this unique title of the beloved disciple is given to John.Saint John the Apostle may be understood as this beloved disciple for many reasons. First, recall the special closeness and affection John shows Jesus at the Last Supper when John reclined next to Him. Recall, also, that it was John alone who stood at the foot of the Cross with Jesus' mother and that Jesus entrusted His mother to John and John to His mother. And note in the passage above that it was John who first ran to the empty tomb as soon as Mary Magdalene revealed her discovery to him. Furthermore, many scholars believe John to be the youngest disciple. And as a younger disciple, he may have received special fatherly-like attention from our Lord.However, John may also be understood as the beloved disciple for another reason. Simply put, this is how John saw himself as he wrote his Gospel account. John may have done so because telling the story of Jesus' life was deeply personal to him. His own love and affection for his Lord was the central and most consuming passion of his soul. And it appears that as John speaks of Jesus, and of his own encounters with Jesus, John was compelled to prayerfully ponder the holy and spiritual love that Jesus had for him. Thus, it appears that John could not speak of his encounters with our Lord without also identifying the divine love that united them. It's as if every time his Gospel story spoke of an encounter he had with Jesus, John was overwhelmed by the simple fact that Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah, knew him and loved him personally. And so he was compelled to state that fact over and over.In this case, it's quite beautiful, on a spiritual level, to ponder John's soul. He was clearly a man who was deeply touched by God in the Person of Jesus. And after Jesus ascended into Heaven, it appears that John's holy love for Jesus only grew. As he went forth as an Apostle, preaching about the salvation that comes through his Savior and dear friend, he clearly grew closer to our Lord day by day. When John wrote his Gospel toward the end of his life, his heart was clearly aflame with divine love as he was intensely looking forward to being fully united with his Lord in Heaven.As we honor this unique and holy Apostle, reflect, today, upon the simple truth that you are also invited to share in the holy and intimate love shared by Jesus and Saint John. Ponder the fact that our Lord also loves you with perfect charity, intimacy and totality. If you can gaze upon the love in the heart of this beloved disciple, then you, too, can share in that love and become a beloved disciple yourself. My beloved Lord, the love You bestowed upon the disciple John was perfect in every way. After Your ascension into Heaven, You continued to deepen Your relationship with him, drawing him ever closer to Your Sacred Heart. Please pour forth upon me that same love and draw me into Your Heart so that I, too, will become Your beloved disciple. Saint John, pray for us.  Jesus, I trust in You.  Source of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2024 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.
