September 15, 2023 126 The Beatitudes – The New Law of the Gospel
The Beatitudes of the Gospel are eight statements that our Lord taught within the context of the Sermon of the Mount (chapters 5-7 of St. Matthew). They are attitudes, ideals we have to aim for if we want to be true disciples of Christ. They portray, in some way, an image of Jesus Christ, they describe the heart of the Gospel. Those who live them out are “blessed”, they are favored by God, and will receive eternal happiness, the reward of Heaven.

September 08, 2023 125 Jesus Christ, the Point of Reference of our Moral Life
Jesus Christ is the foundation and the center of all the moral teaching of the Catholic Church. Our Lord became man to redeem us, but also to teach us the way to Heaven, the way to our fulfillment, the way to complete joy. So, the moral teachings of the Church, with all its precepts and “rules”, is like a help, like a road map that shows us the way to salvation. Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.

August 18, 2023 122 Blessed Solanus Casey – Spiritual Reflections
Fr. Francis Solanus Casey, was born in 1870, in Wisconsin, and died July 31, 1957, in Detroit, Michigan. He was a Capuchin Franciscan priest. He lived most of his life in Detroit Michigan, and one of his main tasks was to be the porter at St. Bonaventure’s Monastery. His body lays today at the Solanus Casey Center in Detroit. Today I share some spiritual reflections based on some of the events in the life of Blessed Solanus Casey, as well as some of his spiritual teachings. I talk about his vocational discernment, his devotion to the Virgin Mary, some of his miracles, his patience, his humility and above all, his teaching that when we ask for graces from God, we should “Thank God ahead of time!”

July 21, 2023 120 Married Couples are the Bulwark of Society
Married couples are the bulwark of society. Without married couples, society would fall apart and the Catholic Church would be in a serious crisis. Sacramental Marriage has certain God-given characteristics, or “goods”, and some responsibilities. In this episode we speak about how marriage is one and indissoluble, a life-long commitment that requires mutual fidelity of the spouses, openness to life (which includes the education and Christian formation of the children), and a concern of each spouse for the physical, emotional and, above all, spiritual well-being both of the other spouse and of their children.
