In this episode of the Divine Mercy Podcast, I relate an email exchange I had with one of the listeners.  She was baptized Catholic but is now a Budist.  The title of the show will make sense when you have listened to it.  I look forward to feedback.Music on this podcast:Eric Vardeman - Make Yourself KnownTheme music provided by:Megan Pettengill - Main ThemeChants of the Russian Orthodox Church - Examination of ConscienceElizabeth Wolff - Reading from the Diary of St. FaustinaPodcasts and Websites on this podcast:podcast alleydigg.com

The Divine Mercy podcast presents a series of podcasts devoted to the physiology of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.  The series will discuss what was physically taking place in the human body of our Lord during the Agony in the Garden of Gethsemane, the trials of Jesus, the scourging and the crucifixion.In addition, I will be reading excerpts from the visions of St. Anne Catherine Emmerich of the Sorrowful Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ.  These visions provide us with a detailed description of the horrific Passion and will, hopefully, shed further light on the humanity and divinity of our Lord.Websites mentioned on this podcast:On the Physical Death of Jesus ChristThe Dolorous Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ  Music on this podcast:There will be no music on the podcast during LentTheme music provided by:Megan Pettengill - Main Theme

Distraction during prayer is a challenge for us all. To try to assist you with this, I have recorded the Chaplet of Divine Mercy and included a series of meditations on the wounds of Christ's Passion. I pray that this recording will help you to grow closer to our Lord as you meditate on his passion and the agonizing wounds he endured for our salvation. May the Merciful Jesus fill your heart with His gentle peace and remember, at every moment, do what Love requires.

REPOST: I inadvertently deleted this episode from the site so I am republishing it. This was originally posted on June 10, 2006. The Stations of the Cross can be used as a meditation for praying the Chaplet of the Divine Mercy. In this episode of the Divine Mercy Podcast, I discuss this meditation and talk about creating a separate Stations of the Cross recording. I also introduce the first E-mail segment of the Divine Mercy Podcast as I have finally received enough email to devote a segment of the show. Thanks to those who took the time to put "pen to paper" as it were and send your thoughts and prayers.

After a long hiatus, I am back with a new show. Thank you to all who have stayed subscribed to the show and for those who left but have checked back to find this show. In this episode I discuss indulgences and what is available through the Holy Rosary. Listen in as I discuss what an indulgence is and what it is not, the different kinds of indulgences and what is necesary to gain an indulgence. Finally, I discuss the use of indulgences for ourselves but also for those in Purgatory.

August 2nd is the Franciscan feast of Our Lady of the Angels. In conjuction with this feast day is the Porziuncula Indulgence, which is a plenary indulgence that can release the recipient of all temporal punishment from sins committed from the day of baptism to the day the indulgence is received. Please listen to the requirements outlined to obtain this indulgence and tell every Catholic person you know about it so we may all take advantage of this blessing from Jesus Christ.

Updated 07/07/2006 I was notified today that the music portion of the show had a glaring flaw, like total silence. I had made a slight technical error when I published the podcast but that has been fixed and this should sound much better. Meditation before the Blessed Sacrament can be a wonderful experience. In this episode I will read to a meditation found online at the Eternal Father Eucharistic Adoration Chapel website. Please take the time to visit that site and to download a copy of the meditation for yourself.
