In this episode of The Heart of Fiat Crucified Love, Catholic missionary and evangelist Mary Kloska talks about the theology of being an artist. She draws from the Catechism's teachings on Christian art (specifically icons, but embracing paintings, sculptures, music, architecture, poetry, theater and even technological art). Mary also draws heavily from St. Pope John Paul II's 'Letter to Artists' in 1999. She talks about the spirituality of meeting and reflecting the image of the Creator in the process of creating art. And she also explains the importance of working with the Holy Spirit (the Breath of God Who is the Author of all human inspiration) in creating beauty that glorifies and points to Heaven.

In this episode of The Heart of Fiat Crucified Love, Catholic missionary and evangelist Mary Kloska discusses every Christian's call to be a missionary. In Baptism each soul is given a missionary vocation. Some people live this radically in foreign countries or public realms, but just as profound is the effect that hidden souls have living out the missionary mandate of Christ. St. Therese of Lisieux is the patron saint of the missions and she shows us how it is more from love and prayer than any actions or words in themselves that we can preach the Gospel and shine the Light of Jesus in this world.

In this episode of The Heart of Fiat Crucified Love, Catholic missionary and evangelist Mary Kloska talks about the important age-old spiritual practice of tithing 10% of what one has to the Lord and the importance of almsgiving not only for those one helps, but also for the soul of the giver. She goes through the Scriptural basis of tithing, showing where the Lord asks this of us in Scripture (both the Old and New Testament). She shares a children's book about 'Roxy the Ritzy Camel' and how one has to rid themselves of attachment to material items in order to enter heaven. And she shares the wisdom of the saints speaking about this practice of tithing and almsgiving as well. (October 10, 2021)

In this episode of The Heart of Fiat Crucified Love, Catholic missionary and evangelist Mary Kloska talks about the work of spreading the Gospel in the world.

Explaining the life and work of both St. Maximillian Kolbe and Bl. Carlo Acutis, she inspires the listener to ever push forward to glorify the Lord throughout the entire world through modern ways of evangelization. (October 3, 2021)

In this episode of The Heart of Fiat Crucified Love, Catholic missionary and evangelist Mary Kloska discusses the great spiritual value of the exchange of letters in the lives of the saints. Sometimes written to encourage each other, at other times to admonish, at other times to exchange daily information -the letters of the saints always help the reader know their personality better and bring to light the depth of their love of God incarnate in all aspects of their lives. Deeply spiritually edifying are the excerpts from the spiritual letters of a dozen saints that Mary shares with the listener. In a world that has lost the art of writing letters, we should take a lesson from these saints who have gone before us. (September 19, 2021)

In this episode of The Heart of Fiat Crucified Love, Catholic missionary and evangelist Mary Kloska takes the listener through the spirituality of two very powerful (yet less well-known) saints. St. Miriam was born in Nazareth and traveled to France where she received her Carmelite vocation. St. Charles was born in France, but it was while living as a hermit in Nazareth that his spirituality was clarified and strengthened. Both embraced a 'Nazareth sort of life' -living hidden in a life of prayer, while on fire for God. St. Miriam went on to found Carmels in her homeland (Bethlehem and Nazareth) and Charles (although he failed to begin a religious order while alive) has 21 religious congregations who claim him as their founder. Most amazingly, both were martyred by Muslims -Miriam was nursed back to life by the Blessed Mother while Charle's blood was the seed of faith for those he lived among in Morocco. Both of these saints are strong patrons for persecuted Christians. (September 12, 2021)
