Ignatian Meditation: You meeting the Christ Child

This is the second half of an Advent mission that I gave tonight in Louisiana before the exposed Blessed Sacrament.  It is a led meditation of discursive mental prayer that I gave improv, but it is given according to the style of St. Ignatius and St. Teresa of Avila.  This recording is one of my only podcasts that I would suggest doing in a quiet place for the sake of the prayer required.  It is the type of prayer that changed the life of St. Francis Xavier when he was led in this personal way by St. Ignatius of Loyola, over 500 years ago.

The Last Sunday and the Last Day on Earth

By |2019-04-09T20:04:27+00:00November 20th, 2016|Podcasts, Sermons, Talks|

This podcast is not based on private revelation but rather the things that the Bible and the Catechism say must come at the end of time:  The Great Tribulation and Apostasy, the Anti-Christ versus the Restrainer.   At the final end we see the second coming of Jesus Christ, the Final Judgment, the destruction of earth and the Resurrection of the Body.  Finally, we will see the New Heavens and the New Earth.

Why Did Jesus Really Have to Die For Us?

Why did Jesus really have to die for us?  Many Catholics with a PhD in theology would not be able to say more than a 9 year old:  "To die for our sins."  We look to St. Catherine of Siena for an explanation that is simple enough for a child, but complex enough to [hopefully] satisfy the 12 families who gathered in Louisiana to hear about this central tenant of Our Faith.

The Key to the Pro-Life Movement

By |2019-04-09T20:05:55+00:00October 28th, 2016|Podcasts, Sermons, Talks|

This was a talk I gave to Catholics and Evangelicals at a "40 Days for Life" a few years ago based on the theology of Msgr. Phillip Reilley, founder of NYC's "Helpers of God's Precious Infants."  It is more than simply *why* you should pray at the abortion mill.  It is about how to go to Calvary:  We move from the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass to the other Calvary, both to simply remain with Jesus crucified, as did St. John and the Blessed Virgin.
