Catholics are often told to meditate. "Meditate" on the mysteries of the rosary, "meditate" on scripture - and yet, we are rarely told "how" to do it. Though many of the mystics and saints of our faith, names like St. Teresa of Avila, St. John of the Cross, St. John Paul II, St. Catherine of Siena, and many more practiced what is called Lectio Divina, or Divine Reading. This is an incredible way to connect with God through scripture.

Scrupulosity is an issue for many Catholics. In this video, I will address scrupulosity as an imbalance between the three transcendentals of the faith. Scrupulous thinking is often a sign of too much of a focus on the intellect, and neglecting charity and devotion. We will also be discussing the true nature of God, and how sometimes we treat Yahweh like a pagan deity rather than a merciful Father. #Catholic #catholicism #spirituality #christianity #spirituality #god #jesus #catholicchurch #mysticism

Catholic Mysticism is a dynamic part of the Catholic faith. I'd even argue ALL of Catholicism is "mystical". However, over the years we have disenchanted the faith and traded our mysticism for an over intellectualism and even a modernism. #Catholic #Catholicism #Spirituality #Christianity #Mysticism #prayer

What do we know about our latest pope, Leo XIV? Well, not much! But we can predict a few things from Robert Prevost's choice of name as well as his background. Similarly, let's discuss the issues in politicizing papal figures - and how it leads to losing the supernatural.
Join me as we pray for the new pope!

Pope Sylvester II was alleged to be a wizard, necromancer and even allegedly built a brass head that could tell the future. Was this true? Probably not - but let's explore how these myths came into being.

Over the last few years I have noticed an extreme drop in discussing the internal life, only to be replaced on external fads, masquerading as spirituality. We must be better as Catholic influencers, and return to discussions on prayer, sanctity and the well-being of our soul. Rather than focusing on lifestyle preferences, and outward displays of devotion. Let's discuss these trends and what we can do about them. #podcast #catholicchurch #catholicism #Catholic #Rosary #Apologetics #spirituality #rosary #god #jesus #christ #christianity #mysticism #christianmysticism #saints #evangelization #JesusChrist #OurLady

I've covered numerous stigmatists in my few years hosting this podcast: St. Francis, Padre Pio, Gemma Galgani... however, none are as unique as the Stigmata of Irving Houle.
Irving was a grandfather and former plant manager out of Michigan. A totally normal guy, until ... he received the wounds of Christ in the stigmata.
Unlike other stigmatists, Irving was called to a healing ministry, which may have cemented his future canonization.
