February 16, 2024 146 Theological Virtues – Hope in God
What do Habakkuk, Job and the Good Thief (who was crucified with Christ) have in common? They are all amazing examples of the supernatural virtue of Hope.

February 09, 2024 145 The Theological Virtues - Faith
Today we look at the Theological Virtues, and the virtue of Faith in particular, how it is a theological virtue infused by God in baptism, that enables us to believe in God, and believe in everything that God has said and revealed to us through Jesus Christ, which the Holy Church presents to us and taught by God. Toward the end of the episode, I speak about how to overcome some challenges in your faith, and how to live it out in your daily life.

February 02, 2024 144 The Greatest Treasure You Could Possibly Have
After looking at an example in the life of St. Philip Neri, "the Apostle of Rome", we look at the supernatural life given to us in Baptism, particularly, the “infused moral virtues”, as different from the “acquired moral virtues” and from the “Gifts of the Holy Spirit”.

January 19, 2024 142 God works through the hands of a Priest
Today I share a simple experience that reminded me how God can work at any time and unexpectedly through the hands of a Priest. Some weeks ago I attended SEEK, a conference with some 20,000 college students in attendance, and some 450 priests helping with confessions. I hope this story is an occasion to reinvigorate the appreciation of the Holy Priesthood of Jesus Christ, to pray more fervently for all priests, that our Lord may give us the grace to persevere always in a virtuous and holy way of life… Let us pray as well that our Lord may continue to call young men to the priesthood and that he may give them the courage and the strength to say NO to the attractions of the world and be willing to sacrifice it all for Jesus Christ and for the salvation of souls.

January 12, 2024 141 Not just doing…, but BEING good
After considering the virtuous example of how St. Francis de Sales was able to overcome his bad temper with much effort and patience (scratch marks were found under his desk!), we look at what are some key principles to living a virtuous life. What is VIRTUE and why is it important? In particular, that we should have as a goal not just “doing good things that can be seen by others” but above all “being good and virtuous”, in a word, to “become like God” (St. Gregory of Nyssa).

December 29, 2023 140 A New Year under the protection of the Mother of God
The Christmas season is in full swing, and the New Year is here! As we begin 2024, on January 1st, we celebrate the Solemnity of the Virgin Mary, Mother of God. She is our protection and our strength as we begin anew. The Christian Tradition teaches us a beautiful Marian Antiphon, very proper to this time of the year, called the Sub Tuum Praesidium, in English, “We fly to your protection”. Today I reflect about the historical, theological, and spiritual value of this prayer, which is the most ancient Marian prayer of which we have an original written record. Listen as the Miles Christi seminarians sing this beautiful Gregorian Chant piece!
- You can find more about this prayer and the “Egyptian Papyrus” from the John Rylands library in England, in this article: https://www.newliturgicalmovement.org/2011/02/sub-tuum-praesidium.html .

We discuss topics like what is a guilty conscience, an erroneous conscience, culpable ignorance and invincible ignorance, and how we can sometimes silence our conscience. Finally, we give some great tips that can help make good decisions and discern the Will of God. In Christmas Christ becomes man and is born to bring us the truth that leads us to Heaven!
