The Catholic Wire

Today, we take the Epistle and Gospel and explain their context and meaning, for a better understanding of the Holy Scriptures given to us in this Sunday.

Have you ever planned a beautiful day, think of how you will take some time for prayer, meditation, restore yourself to peace... only to be immediately burst out of your bubble by God's Divine... (and sometimes humorous) Providence? A Typical story of a daily dose of mortification, with Our Lord's own way to lead us to him.
Our Lord finds ways to sanctify us through our daily lives!

This is an introductory talk to Men, about the purpose of the Men's Group, our Goals and Objectives, among them, to fight directly against Satan in our personal lives, and to Embrace our Authority and duties as men.

We discuss how Our Lord's actions today are proof that God establishes visible ceremonies when conferring Grace to men, How it is Christ himself who gives the Sacraments, and go over a few ceremonies from Baptism.

"Exaltata es, super Choros Angelorum". The Liturgy tells us the Blessed Virgin Mary was exalted above all the choirs of Angels. We speak of what this means, when it comes to the Glories and Beauty of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

In this sermon we discuss what we would call "heartfelt" prayer, mental prayer, the kind of prayer that can truly change your life. 

In this sermon we speak of how the Gospel portrays two aspects of our Lord which complement each other: His Mercy, and His hatred of sin.

Have you ever been plunged into a crossroads in your life and known instantly that this decision would either mean sacrificing something you have loved and devoted your life to…or walking away from a beautiful new future that you can only dimly imagine?
 
That is exactly what my guest Jenn Kray faced. In this episode of The Christian Mother, learn how she dealt with her uncertainties and forged ahead, finding new ways to put her knowledge, skills, and experience in the service of God and her community.
 
As Jenn’s story unfolds, she shares the titles of books that helped her become the Catholic mother she yearned to be, including Around the Year with the von Trapp Family, The Year and Our Children, Raising Good Catholic Children, The Christian Mother, and The Mirror of True Womanhood.
 
Outlining her thoughts on time management, Jenn explains how she incorporates the teaching of life skills into her mothering and homeschooling and how she adapted her housekeeping expectations to the challenges of raising a large family.
 
In the latter part of the show Jenn describes her experience with The Little Flowers Girls’ Club, which is based on the virtues taught in Fr. Lasance’s The Catholic Girls’ Guide and expanded with programming from Behold Publications. Two other websites that Jenn has found useful for providing Catholic materials and/or information are Shower of Roses and Finer Femininity.

We are joined again by Fr. Zepeda, Fr. Saunders and Brother Alexius, to discuss the 7th Lesson on the Baltimore Catechism. The Doctrine of our Redemption.

We speak as briefly as possible, of some of the examples that proof why we cannot regard Vatican II as a truly Catholic Council, and the evils that have derived from it.
