God reaches out to us in many creative ways including our imaginations and through the deep quiet stillness of our minds. Richaél Lucero describes two prayer methods that allow us to respond to God through these means. Listen in to learn how easily you can make these fruitful methods a part of your prayer life. SHOW NOTES: —Catechism reference: CCC 2567 God calls man first. Man may forget his Creator or hide far from his face; he may run after idols or accuse the deity of having abandoned him; yet the living and true God tirelessly calls each person to that mysterious encounter known as prayer. In prayer, the faithful God's initiative of love always comes first; our own first step is always a response. —Books mentioned: —Spiritual Exercises by St. Ignatius of Loyola: https://www.amazon.com/Spiritual-Exercises-Saint-Ignatius-Profound/dp/0385024363 —The Way of Perfection by St. Teresa of Avila: https://www.amazon.com/Way-Perfection-Image-Classics/dp/0385065396 —Prayers mentioned: —The Jesus Prayer SOCIAL MEDIA: Instagram— https://www.instagram.com/clumsytheosis/ Twitter— https://twitter.com/ClumsyTheosis Facebook— https://www.facebook.com/clumsytheosis VISIT MY WEBSITE: http://www.clumsytheosis.net

Elijah was one of God’s two greatest prophets, and he dealt with extended depression over what God was not doing in his life and ministry. He experienced fear, suicidal tendencies, excessive tiredness, and feelings of rejection for over two months, well past the time modern doctors would diagnose clinical depression. Elijah was angry at God.

In Romans 11:2-5, St. Paul uses Elijah as an example of how God considers our complaints against the people we serve, and our dejection when we think He’s not busy “doing something.” Find out how God helped Elijah dig out of depression.

Today we're starting a series of five podcasts on my "midlife learnings." The first one we take up today is about getting lost. These middle years can leave us feeling lost at times as we transition from who we have been to who we are to become.... Jeannette de Beauvoir and I take up this conversation of why it is important to get lost sometimes. "Being lost is challenging. Dante wrote about his traveler finding himself 'in dark woods, the right way lost' when he descended into the Inferno, and that’s what it can feel like, being in dark woods. You don’t know which way to take to get out. You don’t know what tomorrow will look like. You wish you had what you lost, even if it wasn’t good for you. You might even feel like God has abandoned you. But that’s when he’s closest. That’s when he’s saying, 'Take my hand. Trust me. I love you. I’ll show you the way out.' "

November is a month when the Church calls us to think about death. One of the practices during this month is praying for the dead. From the practice many conversations around the topic of purgatory arise. The term purgatory has in it the term and idea of purification. Today, I speak about that concept of purification and some good ways to think about it.

#principleoftheday: #EmotionalIntelligence vs. #intuition.

Am I the accuser taking on God’s role, or am I looking at the situation circumspectly?

Am I focused on what I want over caring for people or focused on caring for people and as a result receiving what I want?

Am I focused on this earth and what I gain here, or the next?

Am I projecting what I want to see to justify my poor actions (demanding grace for me) while expecting to impose harsh punishment upon those committing similar acts (demanding perfection towards me)?

Those needing power will often demand others to agree with them and will gain those that do.

Someone with friends who are willing to stand up to them, rather than conform to their viewpoint to justify their wrongdoings as good, has real friends.

The latter creates and befriends only sycophants.

Those who prefer sweet lies will not be thankful for harsh truths, and only regard people as kind or friendly, unless they aren’t willing to confront them and allow them to commit harm to anyone they rationalize as suitable.

Those who regard their harsh truths as accurate without ever doubting their accuracy are blind to how they hurt themselves and others.

I think we all go through these periods in our lives when we don’t feel very spiritual. Do you experience those times at the end of the day when you are like. “I hope God thinks I’m ok. I’m working hard to do more good than bad.” Have you gotten to the point where you aim to at least make it into purgatory?

 

We are living in a privileged moment of the Holy Spirit when graces and gifts are being poured out upon the lives of ordinary people just like you! Peter Herbeck, Vice President of Renewal Ministries and the host of the Ave Maria Radio show “Fire on the Earth”, and I are going to challenge you to shake your lowered expectations this week and help you come to realize how much the Lord loves YOU!

Following Christ can be tough. I know as well as you do that it's not easy. So what does it take to be a disciple? It takes a conscious choice to be like Jesus every day. To do that, means spending time with Him and witnessing about Him to others. This week I welcome

Jeff Cavins and we discuss situational awareness and how to look for opportunities throughout your day to pray for someone or witness to Christ. Being a disciple is THAT simple!

On this episode of Young Catholics Respond, Bill Snyder talks with Jim Beckman, Executive Director of Evangelization for the Archdiocese of Oklahoma about effective tools for young people to help evangelize their peers.
