The father was unemployed, the oldest child was ill, and every penny they had could hardly keep the family together. “Wouldn’t it be nice,” the preacher offered, “if the congregation would all bring in what they could next Sunday and present it to this wonderful family.” In this podcast, Tony discusses The Giving Heart.

Scripture: “When he looked up he saw some wealthy people putting their offerings into the treasury and he noticed a poor widow putting in two small coins. He said, “I tell you truly, this poor widow put in more than all the rest; for those others have all made offerings from their surplus wealth, but she, from her poverty, has offered her whole livelihood.” –Luke 21:1-4

Quote: “The most obvious lesson in Christ’s teaching is that there is no happiness in having or getting anything, but only in giving.” –Henry Drummond

Reflections: Who are the most Christ-like people you know?  Do you believe that generosity has little to do with the amount of money involved?  How do we measure our generosity?

In the book ‘The Way of Perfection’ St. Teresa of Avila writes about the royal road of prayer. I speak about her wisdom today. This road is something we are all called to walk upon in this life. What does that mean for us? This is just one issue I try to address in the episode today.

Episode #67: Why is there so much darkness in today’s world? Is it part of a planned strategy? The answer is yes. In this live presentation recorded on March 14, 2020, Terry Modica shares the story of how she learned this a long time ago from a satanist high priest who converted to Christ. Members of Generational Satanism have been infiltrating places of influence for decades in order to gradually and subtly convince everyone that evil is good and good is evil. Now that their plan has been realized, God is saying, "Enough!"

Near the end of this episode, Terry talks about a painting she made and the message of faith in it. You can see it here:

Your job right now is to bring peace to your home. Let me share some ideas for how to do that!

You know you should be grateful. You've heard about keeping a gratitude journal. Listen to this to find out the ins and outs of why this practice is powerful and exactly how to practice it!

Stuck at home with your whole family? Here's how to have real peace even amidst the chaos.

Is the common practice of having dreams a good idea?  How do we best deal with heartbreak, painful memories, and a very dark outlook on the future?  Paul and Kent Niebuhr expound on these questions and more.

In times of uncertainty and confusion, Fr. Paul talks about clinging to the Peace of Christ.

Questions Covered:

 

16:46 - What do you suggest for those of us who do not have Mass or Churches to go to? What can we do in our family life to bring the peace of Christ into our homes? 

22:17 - Jesus is known as the Prince of Peace, but he also says he does not come to bring peace, but the sword. How can we reconcile these two things in our world today? 

24:51 - What are our obligations now that Mass is suspended? 

36:30 - For myself and those who struggle with depression, should I be seeking spiritual direction or a therapist? Is the sick feeling that I sometimes get during my depressed periods a spiritual attack? 

40:27 - In the history of the Church, has the Mass and the Eucharist ever been withheld from the people? 

45:23 - If I follow the 10 Commandments and pray the Rosary every day, am I living in the peace of Christ? If I am a Catholic in my heart but I was baptized in another Church, would you hear my confession or give me the Eucharist? I attend Mass but am not Catholic. I want the peace of Christ. 

49:42 - Where can I look for a spiritual director?
