Vitals and Virtues

"The empty amusements which have engrossed you hitherto may rise up attractively before your imagination, and strive to win you back to rest in them; but are you bold enough to give up a blessed eternity for such deceitful snares?"

Chapter 2 of section 4 of Introduction to The Devout Life by St. Francis de Sales here again! He is always talking about bees, but they do make for good analogies.

"Let us leave the blind world to make as much noise as it may"

Another chapter of Introduction to The Devout Life by St. Francis de Sales. Here he calls out the world pretty accurately in chapter 1 of section 4, We Must Not Trifle With The Words of Worldly Wisdom.

Despite writing this down hundreds of years ago, the wisdom of this saint strikes just as hard today as ever.

One Word to Maidens is how St. Francis words it, but it would seem that his advice here in chapter 41 of Introduction to The Devout Life would be applicable to the single fellas too.

How do you celebrate All Hallows Eve?(Halloween). In this episode Adam and I were joined by Fr. Matt Kelly of the diocese Richmond in central Virginia. We got to discuss All Hallows Eve(Halloween), All Saints Day and All Souls day and how do we celebrate all of them as Christians!

Editor’s note! Thank you and shoutout to my sister Carolyn for the correction on the quote.

— If I am in a state of Grace, may God keep me there. If I am not, may he give me grace of repentance and reconciliation to Him through His Holy Church.

St. Joan of Arc said it better.

7 Deadly Dragons Is the book series mentioned on the seven deadly sins. Great kids book, and great insight even for the mature reader that needs the reminder once in a while of the simple wisdom of the church on how to deal with vice. 

"Sometimes there is a conscious vanity in that black is the most becoming dress".

St. Francis de Sales with a lot to say on widowhood, but like all he writes, there's something here for everyone. Press play to hear chapter 40 of Introduction to the Devout Life.

Catch up with Adam and Leo as they discuss recent events and take a stab and one of the seven deadly sins, gluttony.

St. Basil the Great said "Anger is a kind of temporary madness".

Tag along with Dr. Adam Blincoe and I as we sip on some great beer and discuss the vice of anger and the common enemy we have struggled against, it just might be your common enemy too! If you can get past an absurd technical difficulty that rendered our voices to something akin to Alvin, Simon and Theodore, you might just find something useful!

You'll hear about our steps and missteps we have taken on the journey to sainthood along with some great nuggets of wisdom from the saints. However, no episode would be complete if it failed to address Dr. Blincoe's love for Tom Bombadil and why Leo thinks The Hobbit is Tolkien's best work.
