  • Ep. 28 | Breaking down the "Hail Mary"

    In this episode we break down line by line the prayer of the Hail Mary, and discuss the 4 dogmas of Mary.


    ---

    Opening Prayer

    Hail Mary, full of grace. 

    The Lord is with thee. 

    Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. 

    Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death, Amen.

  • Ep. 27 | Parables of the Kingdom

    In this episode, we continue discussing the life of Jesus by going through some of the Parables.  To live according to his example, he calls on us, like it or not, to give up everything we have.  We go over why so many Christians fail to heed this call, and how important it is to do so.

    ---

    Opening prayer

    You proclaimed the poor to be blessed, Lord Jesus, for the kingdom of heaven is given to them. 

    Fill us generously with your gifts. 

    Teach us to put our trust in the Father and to seek his kingdom first of all rather than imitate the powerful and envy of the rich.

  • Ep. 26 | Breaking down the "Our Father"

    In this episode, we consider the purpose of the "Our Father" - the prayer that Jesus taught us.  By mindfully praying this prayer, we can examine our lives to see if we are living up to a life of virtue.

    ---

    Our Father, Who art in heaven, 

    Hallowed be Thy Name. 
    Thy Kingdom come. 
    Thy Will be done, 
    on earth as it is in Heaven.

    Give us this day our daily bread. 

    And forgive us our trespasses, 
    as we forgive those who trespass against us. 
    And lead us not into temptation, 
    but deliver us from evil. Amen.


    25 min
  • Ep. 25 | Temptations of Christ
    In this episode, we pick up the story of Jesus with his baptism and the temptations in the desert.  By understanding his mission and the mission he called the apostles to join, we can better understand how we can serve that mission today as Christians.
    ---
    Opening prayer
    Almighty ever-living God, who, when Christ had been baptized in the River Jordan and as the Holy Spirit descended upon him, solemnly declared him your beloved Son, grant that your children by adoption, reborn of water and the Holy Spirit, may always be well pleasing to you. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

      Opening Prayer

      Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful

      and enkindle in them the fire of your love.

      R. And you shall renew the face of the earth.

      Let us pray.

      O God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit,
      did instruct the hearts of the faithful,
      grant us in the same Spirit to be truly wise
      and ever to rejoice in His consolation.
      Through Christ our Lord.
      Amen.

      --

      Opening Prayer

      Pour forth, we beseech thee, O Lord, thy grace into our hearts, that we to whom the Incarnation of Christ thy Son was made known by the message of an angel, may by his passion and cross be brought to the glory of his resurrection, through the same Christ our Lord.

      -- 
      Sacred Heart of Jesus Prayer
      O Sacred Heart of Jesus, for whom it is impossible not to have compassion on the afflicted, 
      have pity on us miserable sinners and grant us the grace which we ask of you, 
      through the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary, your tender mother and ours.
      28 min
    • Ep. 21 | David: His Kingdom, Psalms, and Legacy

      Prayer for Advent
      In this Advent of expectation
      draw us together in unity,
      that our praise and worship
      might echo in these walls
      and also through our lives.
      In this Advent of expectation
      draw us together in mission,
      that the hope within
      might be the song we sing,
      and the melody of our lives.
      In this Advent of expectation
      draw us together in service,
      that the path we follow
      might lead us from a stable
      to a glimpse of eternity.

    • Ep. 20 | Adultery and Lust
      In this episode we discuss the 6th Commandment - "Thou shalt not commit adultery", the 9th Commandment - "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife" and present the case for chastity, a spiritual power that can be directed towards God.   
      ---
      Prayer for Purity
      Jesus, Lover of chastity, Mary, Mother most pure, and Joseph, chaste guardian of the Virgin, to you I come at this hour, begging you to plead with God for me. I earnestly wish to be pure in thought, word and deed in imitation of your own holy purity.

      Prayer of Thanksgiving and Praise to the Sacred Heart

      Lord, you deserve all honor and praise,

      because your love is perfect and your heart sublime.
      My heart is filled to overflowing with gratitude
      for the many blessings and graces you have bestowed upon me and those
      whom I love.
      Forever undeserving, may I always be attentive
      and never take for granted the gifts of mercy and love
      that flow so freely and generously from your Sacred Heart.
      Heart of Jesus, I adore you.
      Heart of Jesus, I praise you.
      Heart of Jesus, I thank you.
      Heart of Jesus, I love you forever and always.
      Amen.
