As another book coming out 2 coming up in in August will we may be talking about 2 which is also about the story of the last 4 people who died in combat during World War 2 But this is from but Notre Dame chaplains in World War 2 and we were just talking about how one of the 1st chaplains in service because he was happy to be already at Parkfield and in the Philippines ends up being captured so what happened with Father Duffy once he was taken prisoner. Here father Duffy 5 or more was with was the troops fighting the Japanese as they advanced them took over the Philippines then when the surrender of her in April of 42 he was with those forces that had the surrender he was then involved in what's known as the Battan death March which was when the Japanese certainly the casket was one of the prisoners and basically walked 65 miles to a prison camp well along the way there was all kinds of. Calamity all kinds of horrors done abanet in and men being killed in different ways and they were there I would say had not been fed by shoulder the previous 34 months of combat they had very little food to begin with and now they're trying to walk under the hot sun without food without water some are wounded and saw men might fall along the way and be a band aid it as a result of Father Duffy was on that he was having a tough go of it was he was a little bit older than some of the others and. One Japanese guard that they nicknamed the shadow sort of for whatever reason picked on Father Duffy And he would just sort of pot him prod him with the tips of his band and so on while Protestant minister the Reverend Taylor was with Father Duffy And he he gave me courage and come on take one more step come on Duff we're going to get there going on and he really was a great source of inspiration to Father Duffy Well one point in the down the trail the death March followed them through slumped over in the shadow came up and bayoneted him 23 times and left them for dead the column of prisoners kept walking by they had to say to keep on the Japanese guards would deliver them so they walked by. Well as father of the Reverend Taylor was walking away he turned back and notice I'm still a candle civilians and father Duffy is what he thought was bothered about his body and taken him into the jungle or father Duffy was so alive and to nurse them back to health for a few months fathered work to a sick guerrilla forces in the Manila area until he was again captured and that started his. Basis for the rest of the war he was in various prison camps in the Philippines and then in Japan and in Manchuria was in Manchuria must end when the war ended so he spent the rest of the war as a captive and enduring all the horrors and the hardships and lack of food and medicine that we've all heard of or read about and. The experience certain ended up changing him in his mind for the better. Because before the war he was the top chaplain in the Philippines he'd served with Douglas MacArthur and general Wainwright and all the other top officers after the war he just wanted to when he got back home to the Florida diocese some give me a small parish in the middle of Ohio he wanted some peace and quiet and. That was a direct result of what he had gone through during the war and how many returning soldiers said the exact same thing just give me a little plot of land somewhere to want to write 3. Little thing I can bring in the crops and just write a little piece you know I think that's. So I. Mentioned that I dunce and studying on the chaplaincy I'll tell you what I'll do it the at the very tail end and we're going to talk a little bit more this ourselves and then we're going to will go to the phones coming up we'll take some calls and I'm sort of inspired to play something for you I hope you enjoy it it's never aired it's never been broadcast anywhere but I created something by commission about 6 years ago. A nationally syndicated Holiday Special had asked for a. Piece about the contribution of chaplaincy and the and the sacrifice that chaplains made for an annual holiday thing they played on Thanksgiving and Christmas so I made it for them even though at the time I was just packing up to go. Back to school and I didn't much time but I think I did it it was really interesting and I did a lot of research quickly and I found many people that were able to talk to some particular 2 particular priests So I think that's why I think you'd find it interesting both of these. In the in the piece I think turned out to be Catholic priests. But it never aired they had they changed their mind I forgot what it was but they then they wanted me to make some changes and at that point I was already gone and I was already off to school and so it I don't I don't think it ever aired but it's been sitting in my laptop ever since and I'll save that will save about 10 minutes to go at the end of the show and I'll play it there so it doesn't interfere with anything that we're doing but it's part of that what informs me about that is that that unique capacity that chaplains have where they are they end up being just as you describe they end up becoming just by their casual resistance or their persistence and the way in which they try to work with their captors they end up becoming role models and end up providing great Him and great amount of peace just by their example to the people with whom they're imprisoned. You know in many ways I mean he can. Like a lifeline to every scene back home right Representative the tranquillity right back home of the family normalcy you know those young kids were thrust into just a nightmare of conditions and then you know it's a new young you yourself know how young they can be 1819 years old at the start a high school and and they're facing things that they never thought they would and pouncer Well they could turn to the chaplain for a little peace calmness and Ok Back home I go to Mass on Sunday so when I go to mass now with the chaplain even if it's in a field or in a cage was when Father Barry celebrated mass in a cave one tank at least I can think for one hour right or half hour or whatever I'm home I was safe you know it was a great source of Halmos and peace to the soldiers and so that was a major contribution made by his chaplains and I think but even to the oppose even to their captors that chaplains were kind of they they were on their best behavior and they were trying and they were often you know they were able to make connections with the very same people they were loving their enemies which is you know what they're called to do and and that's where you know as you mentioned that one particular. You know Japanese guard so brutal was he that you know that he be an aide bayoneted the priest but the other the other guards weren't like that and that's one of the one of the reasons why he stood out is that he was particularly pretty and he had focused on this particular priest chaplain as opposed to the other guards and I think that's where so many of these stories I hear about about the role of the chaplain in the concentration camps is just to try to find some way to sort of bring down the tension and to increase the humanity. Yeah that's that's why and in training camp chaplains are trying to organize a lot of. Women call variety shows you know share music and poetry and skits and saying alongst things like that. To China get their mind off from their conditions and just have a little bit of fun so it's happened became a jack of all trades in a way you were not just a priest or minister but we've mentioned a counsellor he was a social captain of sorts the that he was a man that anyone having troubles and prison camp would go to to confide in and so perform multiple duties and at the same time while he was there for everybody else and serve such a valuable role it struck me that who was there for the chaplain who could he turn to. When he needed some help when every chaplain. Would have faced some crisis or moment of crisis along the way or have some doubts and yet all they can do is talk to all the chaplains but they in combat their units to go their own ways and so they often had very sparse opportunity to talk to people who truly understand what they're gone for. You know down even though it's may not be part of the book and I confess not reading every page but I read a lot of it I didn't see it I should've looked in the index to see whether you covered the story of the Catholic contribution to the 4 chaplains The famous for chaplains story. In this book strictly is another name chaplains in World War 2 So I did not cover that the term types or what I'm talking about. You know the story I'm talking about I do yeah so this happens in the Navy Yeah it's on the s.s. Dorchester that in 1983 and they they helped the other soldiers get on lifeboats they gave up their own life jackets when the supply ran out and in the end these 4 chaplains one of which I think was Dutch reform the other was a Methodist there was a rabbi and then there was a Roman Catholic priest and they all joined arms locked arms together and went down together ship sank as they say you know it's remarkable father Father carob area another student another name Chapman who was in the Philippines and was with Father Duffy's in. Times in different prison camps right he made a decision somewhat like that he was in devolved penal colony in southern Philippines and chaplain and 10 other American soldiers who were in prison camp came up to Father Carberry and said You know Father we're going to escape and we really think it helps to have a Catholic chaplain with us because of Filipino civilians were largely kept at that time of the nice I did come in handy. And find a car very small badly wanted to go with them you know that's right she has been 143 this was my chance to escape this were the horror that I am in well he weighed it and went back and forth and then decided no my duty was to stay here in prison camp Well those 10 men scapes and friendly so Filipino civilians help them when they got to a submarine and made it back to the United States and were a claymore here almost father Carberry stayed in prison camp he eventually in late 1944 in December was put on what were called the hell ships how the hell ships were transports that the Japanese used it at stage of the war to take prisoners of war in the Philippines. To Japan or banking and to other cast they wanted to get him out of the way because Douglas MacArthur had invaded the Philippines and and the American forces were drawing closer wells on the health ship and father does He was with him. Father Carberry died from weakened the conditions he just could not last as he died father Duffy The other night or dame chaplain administered lacerates But here he and Father Kerry say no I'm going to stay right if he is here but these people in prison camp and he ends up the result is that he died never made it back so yeah those examples before chaplains are talking about amazing stories. It inspires us all I guess. You know to be better people to do what we really should and do it well and I think that was one of the nice things that I took away from all of this research these men and those 2 nuns were such such stellar images and they just pressed me Well let let's talk about the nuns and then I have a question I'll circle back to from what you just said but we mentioned a few times so I want to make sure that we don't pass over them because as you said it's it's men mostly but there were some women that served in that capacity to so let's talk about them. Yes we had to know at Notre Dame Durden isn't and wasn't and that time an off male school directly across the street is St Mary's University and all seen the Elves will well the the the priests we've been talking about most of them were from the congregation of Holy Cross. Across the state of St Mary's the sister of the Holy Cross operated St Mary's these 2 nuns were from that place they had volunteered along with 2 other Holy Cross priests and 2 brothers to go to the missions in India to do service there for a few years. They were making their trans pacific voyage when the ship pulled into the Philippines as scheduled for a layover in Manila for a few days. That happen to be just 2 days before the war started so the war began and they were caught in them in the Philippines in Manila and instead of going on to the missions in India they became captive of the Japanese and were in a couple different prison camps most of the time in one called last bomb yells and Lassigny else was south of Manila. They experienced the same stories that I mentioned earlier a lack of food lack of clothes in. A lack of medicine but they. Came in ways chaplains even though they were not military chaplains they did the same as chaplains other than it couldn't hear a confession or say mass but that they were there to take care of the people and boost their morale and keep people going even when it was. Difficult for them one of the the nuns sister Olivet was so hungry one time she went in so their makeshift chapel and started chewing on one of the pews that where there. May be some nourishment from that and despite that she still went about her job helping the men women and children who were in that camp it was a camp for largely civilian detainees along with some military so they serve the war. Entirely in prison camp until February of 1045 when Douglas MacArthur learned that the Japanese were going to slaughter everyone in that camp so he organized daring parachute drop. Well there should have been lost by me also killed all the Japanese guards got all those people out of Los baños into shreds. But they go away water and they wish to have a crush. Of a. Near the nerve to live their life and going to go to that thought was ripped as we come to the bottom of the hour with let's just pick it up next a coast to coast am this is he of.

So we're talking with John Wilco it's about the soldiers of a different cloth in this case even non soldiers of a different these nuns and I had to interrupt you but you know these heart breaks are what they are at the bottom of the top of the hour so just help me put a cap stone on that conversation. This the 2 questions a spy etc Oh no no and the I had to stop you just before we got to the end with that oh Ok the movie the parachute raid into Los Banos freed all of them and they returned to St Mary's College in May have 145 April and May they came into different groups to. Call it a heartwarming. Welcome at St Mary's College the students and the staff and all lined the road which goes into St Mary's and. Just we were singing songs religious songs then they all went into the chapel there on campus for a celebration of welcoming these nuns back and they ended up serving the rest of their lives there at St Mary's sister Olivet who had kept a diary during prison camp. Turned it into quite a nice long reminiscence which I was able to get at the archives as well as look at her actual diary that she kept in prison camp so all those missionaries all made it back home although one of the brothers after the war had a bit of a nervous breakdown which was very common in all certain percentage of soldiers are going to go through that obviously then so he had a bit of p.t.s.d. I would assume but but they all ended up serving out their lives with the congregation of Holy Christ. And many ways as I say changed. Sr all of that said the you know how can I complain about anything now that I'm home. In hurling my experience has made me appreciate the country in which I was born the freedoms that I have you have to sometimes have those freedoms taken away from you. Before you realize how much you miss and relish you know its actual point beautifully put as we would say in seminary that will preach. You know this is what's so interesting about this too is. You know this is again I'm not holding you responsible for knowing this but think about when was the last time a chaplain was held captive. During Wartime Yeah well you know that's a great question I I haven't heard of any. And sounds so maybe. Oh I know I know Korea for sure and I'm pretty sure Vietnam for sure I just don't I don't think in any of the you know in the Iraq war I don't think there was any you know there are very few American soldiers taken anyway but I mean I don't like it in Afghanistan I don't think and even where they were serving with troops. I think even the whole structure of going out into the field with troops during these engagements since we changed the nature of of engagements we're no longer doing the type of you know like invasions that we used to do where everything had to marry you know be built into the beach and then move forward from there so I wonder who the actual last chaplain was that that was either taken captive or or killed in action. It would be a good story to look into I hear. So this is there's another one of my weird speculations but you know the chaplain served in this again there are non there noncombatants but there are military and it was protocol but not against the law to kill one and so it wasn't in violation of the Geneva Convention as far as I know maybe I'm wrong I'm not. Yeah I probably would be but when you're in combat both sides you're just fire in a way you're right most of the chaplains who were wounded or killed. Probably weren't purposely gunned down but they were in the battlefield and you know someone's With a Mission. But that's it so so that like the question is just I wonder whether what evidence we have of any Notre Dame priest unless you know something in some of the letters that you found where any of the chaplains might have acted at least informally in the capacity of being a spy. I never saw any instance of that and when I read hundreds of letters in the archives. I didn't see anything along those lines yeah it's just a question but I mean it would in many cases they might have been sort of uniquely situated to pick up any information and be able to share it so. Then my other question is as you read their letters back in the the are in this you know voluminous research that you did for this book. How did they how did they reflect upon the presence of God in the midst of a battle Well people are dying left and right and in a couple of different ways I suppose in. The last on the faces of the soldiers that they would be with as they passed away. It brought one of them describe it an affable joy it was the look on their face and in their mind that was God working sir those soldiers saying I'm here you know I'm helping I'm with him kind of a sense that their last moments would be of peace and not terror that God that you know yeah yeah they're dying not content I guess peace would be the better he just seeing the other dying with a sense of peace and those chaplains were able to write that to the families because one of the duties maybe one of the hardest duties of the combat that a chaplain faced those writing letters to the moms and dads of soldiers who are killed but they can at least say I was with him when he died right Central Father Barry especially and that's we'll talk about him and so I don't want to jump the gun but he was so mindful of that and need to be with them when they die say can the parents need to know that too and the letters back to these chaplains some of those are in the archives parents were admitting that I miss my son obviously but I am so. Contents in that and least he was he died in the presence of a Catholic chaplain. He died with some peace instead of dying alone kind of thing that was a presence of God that they would one way they would mention and the other would be the their thoughts when just back to campus at Notre Dame and there's a thing on campus a place called the grotto right there where there's a statue of a bus version and they would often reflect on the grotto and the Basilica of the Sacred Heart campus and the peace that they got from that and they say they missed that and so they would write often about it in their letters that will serve a way of drawing some comfort from God 2 that they always drew at the grotto and at the Basilica of the Sacred are very interesting so that. Let's let's hold on for the for the father very thing but I think now it will be actually a really good time to get to but did any of them right back questioning that in the in the letters where the priests were saying we shouldn't be doing this or I I don't want to be here or this is too much of a horror I have to come home. No none of them did that way they might have questioned am I doing my job the way I should. And my being brave enough or am I sure shirking my duty little Those would be the questions that I came across in their letters not anything about maybe we shouldn't be doing this or be here or any war or anything but if you know it's. Combat It has a way of dissolving philosophy and theology I suppose some of the simple fact of life and death I think I guess no no I think you're exactly right. That was their focus being there for the man and being a pumper so they were like how they're buried in one of those letters directly said that the father Steiner is superior and I going to be worthy enough of these young boys that would be the questions that they would raise. Of the thought. Not that they had to go through it but that that's where their minds went was just striving to be worthy of those sacred moments of being around somebody in their last. So let's talk about Father Barry So would you say of all of the people that you were able to uncover through this archive at Notre Dame that would when he asked me not to rank it but I mean help me with he will be will he be considered the most interesting of the people that you one uncovered or the most heroic or how would you how would you rank him. In the top. And that's not to get a great the others in any way but Father Gary. My favorite I don't necessary get in that lightning in the background I'm Sunder. I think I just heard that I thought you drop something I swear to god I thought you know. You can leave it open to it is actually very very Father father very became my favorite I guess and I hate to put it that way because I was impressed with them all but Father Barry was. Of all of the chaplains that I talked to he probably was most concerned with taking care of the men and now every chaplain does that but he went out of his way even to the extent that he he wrote more than $100.00 articles that are in the archives and there are long and the filled with detail on what the boys are gone sir never once in all of those letters did I come across Father Barry referring to them as soldiers but he was a chaplain in Europe with the 45th Infantry Division he never heard of them as soldiers he always called them my boys or my lads. Father Steiner my boys are suffering this week and then he go on to explain what he meant by that or my lads need help and you know that kind of thing and that was Father Barry's conscious way of. Thinking Ok these kids entered the military not because they wanted to make it a career they entered the military to fight the war when the war is over they'll go back to be in civilians they entered the war as lads as boys I want as much as possible to do everything I can to retain it that sense of being a boy being a lad and return them home as close as possible so the way to what they were before hand now he knew he could not achieve that 100 percent how do you go through a war and not be changed but he was by gosh going to do everything he could there boys they're not soldiers their boys their legs and and so he went out of his way to do everything for them even the mother of one of the boys wrote him and said My son is turning 19 next month his 1st birthday away from home can you fucking find a cake for him for his oh a now this isn't combat you know they're there as you're going out of southern France at that particular time and then you have here range to have a local woman make a cake and they got that cake to that boy 1st on the screen and so he impressed me so much and his letters I mean you'd love reading all of his letters they were so moving about and so humble I mean this guy and never once did he complain in those letters you know he's mentioning what his boys are going through right where he was lies or the same thing him self course if they endured mud and blood and explosions and fear he did too right never once did he complain he just was talking all about the boy said he served and and so yeah I had a great find this for him he was awarded the Silver Star for his actions in Sicily . He was 5 feet 3 inches tall. But not exactly the image of a light back or priest. Well and he was a chaplain for the nothern in football team and so they you know he loved telling stories about all that. Small guy but the fire in his eyes must've been something special you know I wish I could have interviewed him the but the people who knew him told me that the there was a spirit inside of Father Barry that you don't find very often and so yeah he Another time at Christmas of 1944. General Mark Clark in charge of the 45th Infantry Division invited Father Barry to a Christmas dinner at his headquarters where he could have some nice food and some nice wine and all that stuff he turned it down. So no my boys will be in a King on Christmas Eve I want to be with them and celebrate midnight mass with them and that's what you get instead of having a nice meal with the general he says the celebrated midnight mass in a kid with his voice so he was yeah like the old guy so do you have an in these letters where they are writing back from service or even in your own independent research. Of things which we know happened in in Vietnam. Where a chaplain or a more high minded member of a platoon would have stopped a massacre. Or stopped a war crime. Do you did you see any of that from the Notre Dame chaplains. Father Barry actually he did his past let's say Father Barry's unit was the 1st American unit and should I call concentration camp Wow And Father Barry and everyone else had heard about what might be in these camps. And he just. Was afraid of what he would see he didn't want to see it actually. He said but. He said Who more than a chaplain should go in and observe all of the things in a concentration camp I must go in and see it well they got there and some of the American soldiers started just lining up German guards and shouldn't just executing them instantly Now they were going to kill every German guard while Father Barry and other chaplains or the minister Sawyer Protestant chaplain also did the same and big to do the best to get between them and the German guards but you know the soldiers were so enraged by the bodies and boxed tires and then the ovens and in use we all know what was in a concentration camp Sure but they just lost it and so Father Barry and irreverent for way did their best to stop it and they succeeded in a few cases did not succeed in other words the so that would be the want to trust and you know they were involved in that I came across that's very interesting well coming up we're going to go to open lines here in just a few minutes which will be an opportunity for other people to join in in this conversation and so we do have it racked as we say. Next hour last 10 minutes or so so much of the show I'll play you this piece and I hope you like it John it's. Never Well it's never aired it's produced it has soundbites in it and it has interviews with people that knew 2 of these Latter day. Chaplain So one of the stories I think you'll find particularly interesting from the Korean War And then somebody did send me and I grateful for this a Twitter if you want to follow me on Twitter it's at Deacon Punit. And Melissa sent the story of the Catholic priest who earned a medal of honor. During the Vietnam war. Ok Let's do you know that story I did not go share that with you and I'll share with everybody else he was you know as you as you as you found out a lot of these such chaplain Ted had nicknames right other than chap which is kind of a common name that they would give a chaplain but father Vincent Kompany Dano was known as the grunt chaplain. Pick the growth of the chaplain. And he earned the nation's highest decoration for valor the Vietnam I'll share a little of that will give the numbers to coming up after the top of the hour so you can join in the conversation we're talking about is the archives that John that will give its discovered the archives of the soldiers of a different cloth Notre Dame chaplains in World War 2 untold stories of some really Horowitz people who otherwise have been kind of lost to history until this book it until tonight on coast to coast am this is he and others.

To make out the Community Radio National I'm saying with a high of 81 so I have been reading I've read a lot of different periodicals because I need to know what the other side is saying and this is a big move now to decriminalize what they call sex work but we know it's prostitution and there's an essential to change transgender rights and I was really taken aback by reading this article basically saying because these men who dress as women feel fear when police approached them because they look like street walkers and they're like well because of this fear and discomfort we need to legalize they call it sex work and I think the whole thing is just absurd that the idea is well because police think we look like prostitutes we therefore need to make sure. Prostitution is legal I mean I kid you not this is literally the argument in the article and they say this is central to liberation and we have to we have to stop that number one because it's not good for anybody you know prostitution whether they make a difference of decriminalizing or legalizing either way prostitution harms the human person this is not a means of liberation and we need to be ready to to say that to defend that I mean we're going to have great secrets you want to talk about there's no bell about stopping trafficking using online resources but then on the other side of you have groups of people trying to decriminalize and legalize prostitution that undercuts bills bills like this because the whole idea of trafficking and sex trafficking won't be something that criminalized or. Could be legal I mean I'm very worried about it it also true the situation that whenever this topic comes up people who are of the same time and different ground working on this whole issue of human trafficking and states where they try to leave trees or they try to legalize prostitution these children who are being so. You know human slavery and human trafficking they get snatched up and I don't. I mean when they go in to legalize you know yeah I work but there's no way for the police to go after and rescue these kids when I find them but you're right nobody's looking I mean nobody has to look now because if it's as legalized no one needs to look so when you when you start to do that that the red flags that would normally trip people to go look well it's legal so that it's like it's it's it's just defeatist if you ask me and we know that legalization doesn't mean that it's right just look at the Roe v Wade decision that legalized abortion in the United States that doesn't mean that it's ethically right or morally right it's just exactly legal and they use the same kinds of arguments emotional arguments like that they are harmed when they are profiled by police as quote unquote sex workers I hate that term sex workers prostitution and the article really what was interesting to me is that the article goes in and talks about how they're trapped in sex work and I'm like but how is legalizing prostitution going to release you from it or be good for me and for you so you read the article and you're like there's a lot of jumbled thinking here but we need to be ready to answer that because it harms everyone and it is destructive of the human person and we can never ever forget that we should never allow someone's body to be abused in this way as a legal means of making ends meet that's just and as an intercessor for purity in our society I think St Joseph is certainly a great example father today we begin the month of Saint Joseph but we do many people have been you know maybe started. Being a. You know Beach and always has that on the website the devotion kind of Saint Joseph I was encourage people be doing Michael's we're going to have a big city just as they all church here in the parish you got this committee working on it because same trees are always encourage people she said you know after she was cured by this intersection she'd huge devotion. And she encouraged other people to devotion to him too and he needed more than ever he loved to talk about it just because because the computed with gender and the confusion and how people feel that reestablishing a healthy relationship with a good man my exchange shows up as a father figure and as a protector it's so important you're somebody that guy can trust our Lady and the Christ child too so when you are trying to human dignity when you're trying to get a family when you're trying to help people who are wounded by their experience of the family in St Joseph is a powerful reason I would say never knew anyone who had devotion to him he did not experience the effect of his care so should there people I am back in the day and still have it is ready in time but I still have a desert think Joseph cord you can wear and I think show that and it's very chatty special protection final perseverance and for instance at the hour of death and it has a knot in 7 knots at the other end but anyway I bring this up because I think that Cohen and I think those of core and the and Alec warfare they give out a core and so there's an element of. The deal with purity and I get these and these are I think major attacks on as it you know in our culture play on the fact that we can keep it that we have that weakness of the flash but the church has so many Sacramento's and aids for and chiefly prayer let's be real chiefly prayer and I want to thank him back and silly and I think we should make use of them in Colorado our friends the things I think for now I rely on sages of heavenly Father Well it's an amazing inner sense supercar I was going about to lose you know the time of the Batek and it's having more training. Because all of Italy and the rest of the world and for you know the need for this powerful prayer is you know ultimately exorcism is a form of that sacramental you know this church points out that there was more trade it was going to get Russia going to you know an exorcism and still you. No the need for prayer works or should people today you know whatever their struggles are it's great.

Joining us for Morning Glory as we begin the month of March it's March 1st Thursday in the 2nd week of Lent father Mark is scheduled to be celebrated for Holy Mass from Our Lady angels chapel right after morning glory here on Radio Good morning I'm Brian Patrick along with Laurie purchase good morning the police and Murphy is our producer and our godly counsel joining us by phone today from Sacred Heart of Jesus parish in Winchester Virginia father Bjorn Lomberg excited to welcome back great friend a morning glory in the respect like director of the diocese of Arlington and a good friend from my days of the great Amy how are you I am well there how are you going to hear your voice I guess is good to hear your voice the power of technology I'm excited to hear you talking about mercy the power of mercy in allowing our Lord to. Respect Life you talk to a lot of people been wounded by that culture you know. People think about healing exactly you know I would I wanted to share an experience that that kind of brought this home to me just trying to be a good girl trying to work out and I went to the channel and sure enough. You know keeping my title as the world's most like human being I wrenched my shoulder and it up in physical therapy and so I went to physical therapy and you know they they touchy here and if you get that hurt here and you say yeah just heard when you get hurt more where you say hurts the most as you get a Gaggia and when they are iron clad I don't know not on your right and so I think I'm a lot of people and physical can be and I mean them beautiful homily I heard the last year on Divine Mercy Sunday in which others Kelly I was talking about the power of mercy and how they'll because I. The father gives us free will He offers us mercy but he doesn't force us on it don't force it on us and so we have to say yes to that mercy we have to he said Let Jesus touch our wounds and I when I heard the homily thought well that sounds nice but I really didn't realize what he meant so I am laying on the table of physical therapy his gal is. Going at the part that hurts the most appears in my eyes and the idea came back to me and I thought what is she doing she's breaking up the scar tissue he's increasing the circulation Well you know you stick through that and pretty soon my shoulder wasn't frozen anymore I was Ok I did not go back to the rowing. But the point came home to me and this power of mercy so what the physical therapist did for my shoulder are our merciful Lord will do for our souls if we touch me here that he will wait for us to accept his invitation and I just thank you and the time of beautiful season of Lent to meditate on the invitation to mercy . Gives me great joy Well what if one of things I would think about as you were talking is you know I remember going on a retreat and we were all lining up for confession and there was one lady that was like look I'm too much like Mary Magdalen I just can't go in there we were like No no go go go but she just didn't want to face what she had done and so I thought it was such a good analogy to describe because sometimes we have we have to name the Ok you got to go in and they made you know you can have the priest in there Gaston you know we don't. Really like one of them but they're. You know out of you have to name it you have to admit in own the sin I mean and admit that you're sorry for some people that extremely frightening people but on the other end of that is. The ration Exactly and I think that there are other space hippie wants us to be afraid of our scent he wants us to be afraid to name them he wants us to be afraid to go to confession and we know that fear is not of and we don't we father in a pro-life movement because abortion for so many of us they hating act the sacred Can I was talking to one of the amazing people who work in that parish ministry yesterday and they were talking about the resources they hand out during 40 days on the she said leaky of the pregnancy resources for the whole northern Virginia area and not just the ones near and the overhead of the clinic because women choose an abortion clinic part of their home they don't want to be there telling and so it's been a beginning it's a it's but for hiding or lying you know like nothing new under the sun right right what did Adam and Eve give 1st thing they did and I had from our Lord like at that work out you know them if they knew they were there. To go but when you work in the pro-life movement you know that they're on the best piece of ice we've got our seminary training was when another director opens for the pro-life voters for our region had said to us you know as a priest when you work in a parish or in a congregation you've got to take for granted that there's a substantial number of people that you're going to be speaking to this who are wounded by this who are carrying this around and if they think God can't forgive them or they think they're done something that is bigger than God's mercy this hold them back so on one level you want to be like that physical therapist and say you know Ok there's a place that's rooted and God wants to you know that will do and you just try to encourage them to take the 1st step should know that God is available you know that he'll be there and even in the confessional you know sort of thing you are willing to ask questions of authority say look are you ready to start you want to. Walk you through it was a. You know it's kind of I guess like they're just trying to find where is the pain and that's it just go for the juggler. But at least begin to. See if you will you know we are talking about abortion but I have to say that even when you talk about trying to turn your life and live it cries you going to find that a lot of people have been touched by I mean just the sin of using artificial contraception you know and not the medicinal purposes only You'll be surprised how widespread that is how widespread sterilization this is so you're going to find and sterilization of when you start to talk about that people like that I can't come back from that you know I've done this to my body and so how do you how do you go how do I go and confess it then when I can't go and get the surgery to repair because I can't afford it you know also you're right people you know when you can but you're not obligated by the church to do that you know surgery you know even though that's a huge life changing decision you know in the context of the sacrum reconciliation when you're in special sterilization you know. If you will they can come back and it's not the Church of God is closing the door that can be forgiven as well you know that's an important to point out and I think put a lot of people don't realize ins especially mayor male sterilization really opens the door to a very loose lifestyle a lot of men and a lot of sin and I'm glad you said that Brian and I don't think people recognize that I mean you're right because there's really no consequence then for a man after you know. The chance of a child isn't there so what what might give them pause to think about this on them gift that they have so I do think there is a consequence maybe not physical not at 1st but there is a consequence deep in our souls and we are because the law is written on our hearts we are the fire that we get away from him the more restless we are I can attest to that personally I'm just so cool. Mostly Anyway that's of course the answer to all these things so thank you for being in studio going to tackle doubts about. God's mercy now you've seen that in your life and there's going to be world but also in your ministry as director of respect what ministry for the diocese aren't Thanks. Amy it's great to see you and as we are not afraid to experience some pain based on that conversation father is going to go a little deeper and says Don't be afraid to be miserable That's next after Catholic chatter now a 25 after Here's Elisa we heard from Mark this morning so I could hear a nice voice on the airwaves and he very much loved your work with human light action happy about your new role with the respect life ministry and he hopes your shoulder feels better and we heard from Mary and he's very happy your father Bjorn's voice on the airwaves this morning and during this month of Saint Joan said and I think she's writing a hash tag hash tag fine with Father beyond I'm the mystic if I mention her name and address is misery this morning yes a great priest who used to work in the d.c. Area father Ron Ellis passed away a number of years ago and he was a cheerful guy and hardworking and he could try to sneak up on you and trick you to dive into a greater spiritual life and he had this great line don't be afraid to be miserable a lot of times in life we tend to think that you know whether it's land or making a change in our spiritual life oh my gosh we're going to climb up none it's going to be so hard and the reality is whether it's our pain over our sins or fear somehow God in a way we don't understand we're free to take that step back to we're going to direction appealing to move in the direction of grace and so to begin the struggle is really the most important thing is a lot because we are struggling against ourselves and our against our pensions our weaknesses will win it because in the long run this is where freedom comes from God wants us to have the freedom of big sons and daughters of God to know that were baptized and know that God is with us and so a lot of times people can be afraid. I think I got you to take on some heroic sacrifice or some massive change that I'm not capable of killing but that's not the point the point is just to begin the struggle to turn to God and say I want to on my sim I'm ready to come back to the sack Americans and I'm ready to take that 1st step and God like the father in a prodigal son rushes him and he puts a ring on our finger and he embraces us and he says let's celebrate the peace because my child is back and so I hope and joy do come along with the struggle whether it's the physical therapist who's trying is any prickly trying to find out where the pain is so that we can begin working on relieving the pain and healing the world and it looking forward there's a little bit of aching as there's a little bit of struggle but it's not the end of the world and the devil just wants to keep as demonized and isolated from home cut off from God cut off from our family our friends and our strength and so. That's the secret to men that's a secret to Joy certainly there was misery on the cross for Jesus but he did that for the joy set before him so that's a good reminder for us as we are in the 2nd week of Lent Thursday the 1st of March Congress has passed that anti-sex least on the health side Dr Tracy Christie senior advisor to Camp Association will join us to discuss that bill and we have other news next this morning glory continues now at 28 after the hour on the e.w.t.n. Global Catholic radio. Catholic from the start because every new morning is again. To bring meditation Thursday of the 2nd week of Lent is one that's meant today I think by all Lord a bit of the cake in the pants if I may put it that way the little quotation that the church uses for today is from the parable of the rich man and last and the rich man died and went to hell in the parable and he's having a very difficult time in hell and he says to Abraham remember this is a parable that our Lord taught he says to Abraham send Lazarus to warn my brother we're all in business together well as the rest go tell them not to be so worldly not to be living high on the hog not to be taking care of the poor and Abraham says they have noses and the prophets let them listen to them. But the rich man said No father Abraham but if someone goes to them from the dead they will repent. And Abraham said back to him and they don't listen to Moses and the prominence neither will they be condensed as someone should come back from the dead all these words how or what we must do to and return to life and do we believe in them do we take them seriously. We take the words of Christ seriously especially his Arab which tell us to pray incessantly to pray fervently to hold give to love the poor to the generous Do we take them seriously. Because. The one who said these words has risen from the dead.

And father on the power of taking baby steps coming up in a few minutes we also have Dr Gracie Christie with the Catholic Association joining us in a moment the Vatican plans a week long conference next month to train more precise Exorcist to meet the rising demand for exorcisms thousands of exorcisms are being performed annually in Italy alone noted actresses Franciscan father beneath says the higher demand is due to increased interest in the occult which he says opens the door to the devil and to possession so many of the cases are not actually related to demonic possession but father says they must still be investigated Dick's Sporting Goods will no longer sell assault style rifles it's also halting the sale of all guns to anyone under 21 park in Florida mass shooting suspect Nicholas Cruz bought a.

And the president pays tribute to the Reverend Billy Graham his body lies in honor this morning at the u.s. Capitol everywhere we went Reverend Graham delivered the same beautiful message God loves you that was his message God loves you the funeral for Reverend Billy Graham is tomorrow in North Carolina President Trump is expected to attend the Catholic Association praises the House for passing a new anti sex trafficking bill making it easier for attorneys general and prosecutors to sue the websites that host advertisements for prostitution Dr Gracie Christie a physician and about her a 5 a senior policy adviser to the Catholic Association joining us by phone from Miami today Dr Gracie Good morning good morning to you outlining this bill for us what it would accomplish and why the Catholic Association supports it. That thing that it wants that want to close a loophole that allows. To you not be legally liable to be liable when they know that sex trafficking is going on on their page it. Goes back to the fact that. Prostitution that always that I'm a colleague and sort of trafficking and. And the last few years back. Downtown and into the web page it. Internet and so this is trying to close that loophole is it possible to enforce this kind of legislation. It is people who are pushing bad guys are saying that it will dampen the freedom of the Internet but the fact is is that you know a few years ago they were they did a study and over 73 percent about 73 percent of the cases of traffic children and minors boys and girls was happening on one single job site that called Back Page dot com who knew very well that this was going on how can we be part of this idea of protecting children from this kind of sexual exploitation. But of course we have to be very aware that it's going on all around this is sort of an underworld in our culture that is present everywhere we go it's a little scary when you stop and think about it it's like we live in 2 separate universes but there is an underworld where people girls boys women and men are being trafficked abused sold over and over on line we have to be cognizant of this and then keep our eyes open even we can where we can spot the abuse going on it might be going on next door or in the school where our children attend Dr Gracie Christie policy adviser to the Catholic Association Greece are you confident that this bill will get through the Senate and be signed by the president. I think some form of this will the Department of Justice has weighed in against it. So they have a quibble with the with the wording of the law they want to make sure that it's constitutional and they can see that it can be applied properly so I'm all for that because in the end we want laws that actually do attack the problem and don't just make people liable who shouldn't be liable and a quick reminder to our listeners of what the Catholic associations mission is. So we're an association of people that are hoping to inject ourselves in the media narrative anytime that that's where the church can be effective. You know we hold the church's teaching and especially and religious liberty and of quite human trafficking it confined to everybody but especially I think a Catholic to Christian to understand that it's that a tremendous violation of human. But we appreciate the good work of the Catholic Association and it's always fun to have you on the show Gracie thanks for joining us this morning wonderful caregiver Thank you I 36 after the hour now and a pair of shoplifting suspects running from Peoria Illinois police scale a fence trying to get away only to land in the parking lot of the police station security video shows them trying to hide under a bench outside the police station of course they are under arrest charged with shoplifting that's nothing in a critical public safety building along with drug offenses so apparently they were a little bit I to get into their adventure Their makes work a little easy I guess they they come the criminals come to you. In n.h.l.

Morning Glory weather chilly in the Midwest for your Thursday in Grand Rapids a sunny day reaching out I have 40 to this ng in Tinian on Holy Family Radio this morning in Melbourne Florida a sunny day reaching a high of 82 there's running on time Divine Mercy radio and in Houston rain today under storms for those of the Guadalupe radio network with a high of 76 so the. That commandment is really about Connel can keep a sense and if you like what it can keep it since it's basically our inclination to send it we got that because of original sin Connell thank you percents really is dealing with lust or that I lust of the heart lust of the eyes all those things it's God. What should be beautiful good and holy sort of twisted up because we are looking at people as who they are will get them Rather it's how they can serve as in terms of giving as pleasure now one of the things that we need to think about with this lust of the flesh is that to me it goes greatly against the 6 beatitude which is the Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God So really by breaking that command where consigning ourselves to never seeing God which is why I'd have enough to be active in vision that's what we want that's the goal of our life and it's a quite a serious and although people I think tend to play it down so much in our society I remember way back in the day when I was in college I had a roommate that love the soap operas right and so I happened to walk into our living room because we were campus in an apartment and I was appalled by what was playing on the soap opera how explicit the encounters were between men and women the state of undress on daytime television I mean I remember just getting off I'd up a mad and she was acting like an old lady but I was like you know this is really normalizing what should be private behavior between a man and his wife and she was rolling their eyes at me and I just was so fired up and it made me think the more that we are guarded and watching television the more these kinds of things become normalized to us and that's a shame it's a shame that it becomes normal that we think that these things that are very private we should have our eyes into it so what does that do to us I think it tends to morrow I also tend to think it makes that rouses and as the. Connel lust and I've always wondered why in the movies as of late is that a good story talent is just a bunch of flash and I'm like whenever I see movies like that I'm like This is trash and this is a writer that cannot write you should be able to tell a story without having to appeal to people's faces desires or to manipulate people's faces desires to sell tickets but that's what we are and that also is a violation of the command because what they're arousing and what they're hoping to sell tickets is to arouse and that's carnal can't keep us in this lust and we have to be worried we have to be on guard and I say how much are we willing to say you know what as soon as that comes on the television we will just turn off the t.v. And walk away I mean as I'm trying to teach my daughter about things and teach about the 9th Commandment we talk to her about if you hear or see something bad on t.v. Not that we let her watch t.v. But you know we got grandparents. And I try to play in them but we say they have played prayer and run and you know I'm like you know and that's good advice for all of us when you see something that you know is a challenge to you or you know is the beginning of leading you into the pit say a prayer and run Why would we stay around and say oh maybe it's a good bad are you allowing it into your eyes you're allowing it into your heart and from the heart that is corrupted comes these sinful thoughts adultery fornication murder all these things that we need to be guarding our eyes and our senses and those of us ya know I always preach on modesty we need to also dress miles modestly so we don't cause a brother or sister to fall into the sin of last which is forbidden by the 9th Commandment So as I wrap what I'm going to say is weighed by the 9th Commandment are invited to see the human person as a person and to have right relationship with them and to not use them and see them as just a means to my pleasure and so if we could today think about that and maybe pray about that and maybe even 6 in the system. It's from a priest and trying to purify our hearts I think down take us a long way. And we worry about how to deal with this problem the 9th commandment and our culture takes a stance and a scandal and a point to change it really take steps to victory actually overcome this power the lust of the flesh and it's kind of steps to God if we can even run we take a step in the movie What About Bob Richard Dreyfus plays the successful the arrogant psychotherapist who was tortured on vacation when his obsessive compulsive patient Bill Mary was completely erratic comes and follows him around and ruins his time not to be a funny movie but the mantra that drives house from its work is baby steps baby steps it's great advice but he's too arrogant to really let it so if we want to have confidence in God If we really want to trust him to make a change to overcome the lust of the flesh in the back how does confidence lead us to what we hear is a narrow gate a little way well the narrow gate he says leads to life and it's for those who become like children when it's a cycle to ask it was the greatest thinking about I'm going to take the child I'm supposed unless you become like this child you will enter the kingdom of heaven so you want to humble ourselves he wanted that we have this week because there's less to the flesh the struggle but we need to love our weakness at times trying to say that we're little we need and we're dependent our culture as you say I can do whatever I want I'm all powerful that we can recognize that we're little that we're small God loves us in the way we are he will transform this because you melody is like a magnet for God It draws down pouring the plugs of grace from God So baby steps in humility can lead us to confession and it is sick knowledge or weakness so we can gently see that they said it once or lead us into the light lead us into it treat you to seeing the grand and glorious face when you mention one of our favorite movies and. I would like that like you know this is performance and that was really good father is now one thing about the steps and the point that he was he. That was his whole thing take baby steps but he was too arrogant to do it himself. You know this. Is a ridiculous story. Point but I like when you talk about babies that's because it's true we can feel so defeated they were not already day air and I remember the 1st time it when I was really really getting deeper into the spiritual life to realize it is your life's work to pursue wholly that it is not going to be yeah I got it now I never got to worry about it again I was like oh my lord you know do I have the strength to persevere in this and we after a member of the dads crazy as you do yes you can so we're going to be talking with our break we. Are also friends they respect life as an Arlington dies this isn't a project Rachael video that they have out and it is magnificent I can't wait to talk about it next I say to and here morning to hear about magic. Every new morning. This morning glory. Worth watching other Dominick like in this season of Lent we look to Christ on the cross to be our savior and. Christ on the cross is one of the most important things we can do this Lent if you want an example of the Berkshires of the Christian life you will find the most perfect. Example of charity because Rader love than this no one has to lay down their life for his friends and that's what Jesus did for us an example of patience Christ was perfectly innocent but he took up the suffering of the cross for our sake humility the one who is all powerful who. Became even unto death and of course obedience to the Father's will know about contempt for early pleasures left behind. I know all the good things of this life.

Of marriage and family life and respect life for the diet it's a violent and good morning to read Good morning Gloria good morning Brian. So I have to tell you I watched the new project Rachel video and I was really touched for a number of reasons number one how authentic it is and I know the people in the video many of the people in the video so they testimonies are just so powerful because I know these women but there are 10 take testimonies How did that come about. You know it's funny I was thinking as you were talking because. Devastating consequences of our promiscuous culture is abortion. And we project Rachel is a part of the family marriage respect life office and that is the outreach to those who are suffering after abortion and so we're always looking for new ways to tell the women who have had abortions that. You are loved forgiveness is possible. Bigger than any sin and. What better way to do that. I mean to create a video and we invited these 3 courageous women in their stories and you know it's funny because it's not just that they've had some of them had one abortion but some of them has had many abortion yes and that's a common thing that you will see when someone has one abortion they often have 2 and 3 and then so then what happens is Ok God can never forgive me for one abortion I certainly never to and then multiple There's no way I have no chance at redemption because not only will God never forgive me I will never forgive myself. When I was watching the video I wanted to tag it with that shout your abortion tag because the other side has tried to paint abortion as a liberating thing that you know it's. Make you feel better women that you'll be free of this really touched me is the one part of the video the woman had abortions such a long time ago but she still wanted her face covered in she was still working through the shame of it and that's a really touching. For a lot of people you know. Bush in is wrong but I don't think people really get how damaging it can be for some women and in particular that woman who while talking about her healing was still wanted her face kind. In darkness she didn't want to necessarily be seen how did you get her to be willing to go on video and have her voice heard you know that's a really good question and she had to pray about it she had to think about it because you are putting yourself out there you're putting you're putting your pain out there and then Yes and you feel shame we look at her and go oh courage you're here and because you're going to do as John Paul a 2nd said in and you're going to to use this and you're going to help other women women to come to healing and I should add that that's not always possible for women so I'm not saying Not every woman is capable of telling her story publicly and I think that's something that we need to know but when you can tell your story and you can bring other women you know to to be able to come to light and I say you know darkness into light I was once on. Retreat and after this woman coming in and and Friday night her face is Paris and her face turned her eyes she can't even you know there's such pain there and on Sunday after the weekend retreat after she had a chance to talk to the priest and she like a different person you can see it and I think that whole idea that the one woman Andy in the video has said it's from darkness into light and you said it before Gloria naming your brings freedom that is the freedom and then you bring it to the priest and he he gives you the absolution to the you know his voice you hear the Lord you are free going peace you know and father Lundberg I think has a question for you yeah of course there is your work in the Richard ministry is so important. If you're telling people that this is actually. People going to this choice you know you don't do this is not. Coming this concept of project ritual and what it is well now I stumbled into this video are just good act aren't you. Puter and I was chatting to somebody and I started to play it and interview this person Carrie transfixed they're watching this and as the woman we're going to we're speaking you know she would just you know look it's just not exactly yes. It's going to be. Somebody. You're someone it's like you know it's not those they call the number or email or check the Web site which is a great resource but to be able to instantly show somebody video and they see to witness a mercy case you know witness of people it's amazing thank you Father Yeah. But do you have a special advancement opportunities during this Lenten season we. Had a retreat coming up on March 24th and you can. Call us at our project is that 888 or 5 thick hope it's 888456 help and you can also check us out on help after abortion dot org.

Which is hope and we've been praying for all our listeners and just hoping that you take the next step because because God loves you and there is no sin that he cannot forgive you for this has hit so many families and not just the you know directly involved but their loved ones and I wonder how those of us who have had this in our families can help with Project Rachel with what Project Rachel does in this healing process for those who are right in the middle of it. Certainly just by knowing that Project Rachel exists so it's it's trained professionals who can listen to you counsellors priests retreats say just keeping that has meant that literature handy. And praying for the right that well. Because not everybody's always ready but just dropping the c. It's just saying you know we're out there we can help and I just also want to say we can also help men it's called Project Rachel but it certainly is men have so many versions on the theme because maybe you didn't even want the abortion but one common thing that men often say to women is it's up to you it's up to you and so what do you think the woman hears when the man says. I want to. Actually come out of the I'm out of it let me just for those who are let's say we're going to have to wrap on this can you stress that this is confidential like they are going to come in they're not going to be cameras that spotlight the whole bunch of people they all tell you that it is confidential to go to project Rachael Ray thanks so much for bringing that up absolutely everything is confidential there is no I mean whoever you speak with.

With the Lori long ride home center today at 6 pm Eastern on e.w.t.n. . True. Hello and welcome to this segment of the crux of the matter I'm Father Wade Mini's is of the fathers of mercy and Catholic sacramental theology the mass is to be seen as both a sacrifice and a meal Unfortunately however in modern times it often seems that the sacrificial nature of the mass is either lost ignored or at least downplayed as committed Catholics we have a duty to possess and help foster a balanced view of the reality of the mass as both sacrifice and banquet and the best of banquets at that to use imagery in the Book of Revelation only mass rape presents that is it makes present again the one sacrificial act of our Lord Jesus Christ having died on the cross to redeem us in his 965 and sickle in a serial Popal the 6 states that by means of the mystery of the Eucharist the sacrifice of the cross which was once offered on Calvary is a marvelously Rian active and it saving power is constantly recalled and applied for the forgiveness of those sins which we daily commit well stated pope all the 6 Holy Mass all those celebrated daily through and through out the world does not possess a theology in which we crucify our blessed Lord over and over again as some non Catholics tend to believe that we believe rather holy mass makes present again the one saving action of our Lord on Calvary the Catechism of the Catholic Church sums this up nicely when it states the redemptive sacrifice of Christ is unique accomplished once for all the perfect sacrifice was Christ death on the cross by this sacrifice Christ accomplished our redemption as high priest of the new and eternal covenant the sacrifice of Christ on the cross. Is can liberated and mysteriously may present in any Christic sacrifice of the gnats and that my friends is the crux of the matter other way nieces. This is Jenny Lange is with me or somehow Thank you for listening to k r c n n 60 am not willing to enter we're here for community teaching.

Television and radio so that is the West Coast walk for live coverage live from San Francisco California so it's Saturday January 27th that tooth. pm Eastern time both on e.w.t.n. Radio and e.w.t.n. Television so we certainly do want to remind you to stay a tuned to your television and your radio with e.w.t.n. As the selected channel so that you can be present to this good work that's being done you know that fact to matter is the beautiful reality of our Catholic faith is that we are the Body of Christ. Maybe you can't get to San Francisco to be present to the actual walk that's taking place there you can be. Radio and t.v. And spiritually connected as well through your prayers for that event and the prayers for all of those who will be marching So we do this in unison as the Body of Christ I do want to let you know that before e.w.t.n. Radio carries the walk for life at 2 30 pm Eastern Time we're going to have a life i Life Issues special and that life is you special is titled victims in the shadows and it's going to start at 2 o'clock pm Eastern and run through the 2 30 pm till 2 30 pm Eastern and then starts right after that right so you continue to o'clock and hear this broadcast on life issues having to do with victims in the shadows and that's a good way to set the tone for what you know experience later on I'm glad I got that foot to you. And ready time so I want that on your calendars and be sure to get their phone lines are lighting up right away here today I do want to just share a few things with you yesterday we talked about those on 2 most fundamental and foundational ones at the heart that often occur within people the father wound and mother won't and I tell you it's. You know just numbers numbers numbers of callers calling in that wanted to share their story and or ask for some prayer and or ask for some insight regarding that wound and it was really and truly a blessing for us to be able to. After that opportunity yesterday I want to continue with that today because we certainly didn't exhaust the topic and in addition to that we didn't exhaust the phone calls so if you tried to get in yesterday and you were not able to get in there please just pick up the phone and give us a call here 805859396 that 805-859-3968 is the way that you can join us here and you know we're here for you we certainly are and the Holy Spirit seems to like it when we come together is the Body of Christ maybe that's why I said you know Jesus said When 2 or 3 are present he's there in our midst right and that's through the power of the Holy Spirit so we can do a whole lot to affect all kinds of good things in the world we certainly can't we must never lose sight of that it's easy to lose sight of it because the challenges can be so great and the this is to use of our own personal lives the joys and sorrows can certainly preoccupy us our own plans our own agenda for things can take our sight off of the reality of why God's given us life at this moment in history of man and what got to call ourselves back we're here for each other and why and what are we to be doing together promoting each other's walk with Jesus helping each other gain steps on that path that leads us to union with our Lord Jesus Christ that will take its ultimate lead to the great great great reality of salvation in him and we want to know that and we want to do all that we can to affect that obviously for ourselves but most definitely for others most definitely for others as well so you know how are we doing that and to what extent do we remind ourselves that in the midst of the fray in the midst of the challenges in the midst of the cultural realities that that populate our day and time in the midst of our agendas in the midst of all that we have to do our To Do lists I don't know about yours but my To Do list is like I don't know it's so. Strange there's not enough hours in the day that the good news is what is God do expand Thank you. Thank you Father God thank you all the spirit you expand time and so we can but we've got to remember that the ultimate reason why God has given us life at this moment in history of man is for one reason and that is for us. To work towards our salvation in him through the grace that comes was all of the time from the eternal moment. And to be a a Houston helper. Companion to others to help them make their way there too so you know one of the ways in which we do that is getting healed up years ago I read a book loved it and really wonderful Catholic consular who wrote this book and the title of the book was healed for holiness and might still be available on i really not sharing go out there do a search on healed for holiness and back to reality that's why we talk about healing on the show from time to time. Because you know we cannot be holy unless we are healed lie because holiness is a participation in a divine life its Cantelli is residing within us that is reflected through us. And the more of God we have the more the god life that we had in us the more we reflagged. And the more we delight in. And so every territory of our soul every territory of our being all of those aspects of our of our heart all of these things. You know need to be filled with Gone. And this is how it goes. That as we surrender these parts of our brokenness to him as we give way. To his presence in us as we invite him. To those places in us that are so flawed so broken so frail so weak. They are riddled by sin complicated by all that we've experienced and the choices we've made and the affronts that others have committed against us by our grief and our sorrows in all of these things. As we invite Jesus into those areas then the god life resides there. In the past we can in Jesus pitches his tent there I love that he pitches his tent there and he to wells there and he lives there and something magnificent begins to happen there. Our burdens our last and. Our wounds are healed. Our hearts are lifted up. And were somehow was joy now resides. Well brokenness lived healing comes and we are made whole. Or we were fragmented integrity reigns. And it's God. And so to the extent that we permit ourselves to go through this process of restoration and renewal and healing and revitalization and rejuvenation think of all of those rewards that you want to. Be able to fold things and then they do and you see where the spirit of the Lord is there is freedom it says that one Corinthians 317 there's a quick little passage for you to memorize right now why don't we do that where the spirit of the Lord is there is freedom where the spirit of the Lord is there is freedom and so we can take that we can take that very passage and we can spin it around and put it this way where the spirit of the Lord is not there is bondage. Where the spirit of the Lord is not there is bondage. Were chained. Were chained or stand were chained or brokenness were chained to our frailty were chained to our weakness were chained to past events were chained to. Sad memories were chained. But when the Spirit comes there. When the Spirit comes their way happens with a tray. With a tray. And where the Spirit is he brings with him his fruit listed fully in glaciers 522. He brings a lot and he brings peace and he brings joy and he brings patient insurance and he brings modesty and you know I don't just mean modesty and dress we you know sometimes we just don't we're very myopic in a definition for that word you know. You know modesty also means want make humility right. To modesty comes right holy grail comes. All of these beautiful realities conch and we know happiness we know fulfillment. So today the spirit range in us to that extent to we know that fruit. And we know that pleasure that God wants us to experience in him and I to tell you friends you know this you know this well. We can't even begin to plumb the depths of it. And there is no pleasure like it. Scripture cries out taste and see that the Lord is good that. Paul tells us that we can't even begin to imagine the things that God desires for us we cannot even begin to imagine what it's like and I have unleashed but I can't tell you we can taste what it's like in heaven when a guy gives us appetizers and hors d'oeuvres. Just so that our palate is set for the great feast that's going to come Amen and. So there you have it just invites to think about so many give you those numbers again we're going to talk about anything you want to talk about obviously but very happy to continue to the discussion that we were having yesterday the whole the conversation that we were engaged in about healing love to talk about that topic I just think that there is a profound unprecedented Grace point out on us today to be made whole in all ways I really do I really really do so why not get under the spot where the glory pours out so that we can experience it and maybe maybe maybe maybe the program today is one of those spots I sure hope so oh Father God let it be let it be let it be here those numbers again 805859396 it's 805859396 that is North America outside of North America country code 1205.

Family encouraging you pick up the phone today so that we can say howdy hey to you welcome you to the airwaves and really celebrate with you this great opportunity that is now available to you in your area we're going to go to Corinne She's calling us from Seattle Washington this morning listening to his e.w.t.n. App Good morning Kareen how are you good morning in that I'm really good thank you well I'm glad to hear that that makes me happy. So I have good friends who are there an older married Catholic couple Ok they know new ways they know New Age is wrong the husband has really bad arthritis and they're going to a clinic. Staffed by alternative medicine practitioners who were who went to a large university here that teaches alternative health practices and it appears to be new wage. My concern is the foundation of this clinic based in no way said you've changed. A lot that's what the practitioners are into. And I'm concerned that they might be putting themselves in spiritual danger I've done some research you know including your blog and. Article but Vatican document on wage I just sent them the information I talk to them I press my concerns and they're going forward with these treatments and. I feel like I have a responsibility to warn them and I've done that. I'm just wondering. They've been treatment open. You know your bank your Even the one that cracked it might be but $103.00 that they are. They believe that there are going to be a but yeah well current Let's talk about this for a moment 1st of all I'm glad that you went to our blog and I just want to share with all of you if you have questions about new age or any kind of therapy is or if a practice is it could be spiritually harmful I do want to welcome you to go to our blog it is that women of Grace dot com And when you get there on the nav bar you'll see blogs just put your cursor over that and there's a dropdown box choose new age there's a search engine there when she get to that location you can put in what it is that you're questioning and it will come up if there's articles there out there on it it will come up you can also submit a question disappointment she's probably running about 90 days behind I mean she is deluged there's no other place like this that we can find anywhere on the Internet so it's a tremendously useful helpful dynamic gift I think so we want you to take advantage of it so I'm glad you went out there Kareen that's really a good idea 1st let's just begin by by saying that you know not all alternative therapies are created equal some of them are rooted in practices that are all called or come from Eastern Oriental mysticism that would not be in line with Catholic teaching that would be antithetical to Catholic teaching and certainly could put us in spiritual peril that is the truth all right but not all alternative therapies are created equal so we kind of have to be very discerning and we have to use a very fine line to separate if you will you know the bone from the marrow and into separate if you will the you know the sheep from the goats in this thing and I think that you know the blog is particularly helpful there's all. So another opportunity that you have it's called the learn to discern compendium Is it Christian or new age and that's a compilation of a lot of the information that is on that blog into one book and who has written that book and it's really great and it goes alphabetically and there's an index and it's outrageously helpful and not available for you at e.w.t.n. Arcee dot com that g w t n r c dot com That is the website for it had a good chance religious catalog so that's the learned can so learn to discern compendium Is it Christian or New Age saying get out there obviously it's not I mean it's comprehensive as it possibly possibly can be as at the time of its publication because these things kind of move around so that's number one current and they're not all created equal. I would hope that your friends have also in Gauge traditional medicine in it and I have found very frequently that a lot of people are very suspicious of traditional medicine I'm not saying they ought not to be in some cases but I am saying that we don't throw the baby out with the bathwater and one of the best benefits that we have a traditional medicine is the fact that it can peer meaning that it's been tested so you know it's held up under scientific best again investigation and research under the scientific method as well so we don't have that with alternative therapies there really there really are not studies on it everything there is anecdotal Well it made me feel better well you know I've never you know it took care of this issue or that as you and it well could have taken care of it but there is always the possibility that it could have been something else even the placebo effect right which operates in traditional medicine as well so we want to be very very careful that when we are engaging in their P.'s these therapies have been proven to help us according to some kind. Objectively testing and development want to say that. Most of the alternative therapies have not and some of the alternative therapies are very dangerous spiritually I'm going to name a couple of them yoga I know younger not helpful spiritually Additionally Reiki condemned really the u.s.c. He be in a letter that they wrote about it March I think the 25th 2009 is when I was released I could be a little off on a date thing so it could be 2010 but it's right there in that pocket of time so you can get out to the us he be a website and put in the word Reiki r e i k I and is going to talk with you about alternative medicine and it's going to talk with you specifically about Reiki this is a very big one that has invaded not just you know a clinic that says it's alternative medicines or alternative therapies but it invaded traditional medicine and it's invaded our churches our parishes and our retreat centers so we've got to be very careful. In addition to that healing touch which is in and of itself a lie because the hands never touch anybody so there is no real touching that's going on there right so right there there's you know it's kind of like a you know statement of contradiction. That is a false and the whole of it is false because it's based on this notion of yen and yang which comes to us from Oriental mysticism which is not the worldview that we hold to and has a convoluted parents of what who God is God is an energy force things that talk about energy life force energy that she Kate when you see those words stay away stay away spiritually dangerous things are not being 9 they are not the night we want them to be benign sometimes you know we talk ourselves into know they are. Not benign so Corinne you did your job you informed them there isn't anything much more that you can do that with regard to that but you do How'd you do have one more responsibility and that responsibility is fundamental you're called to pray for these people God's permitted you to find out this information these people are in your life for a reason because you're to be one of those helpers that we were talking about early on. And the way in which you can help them is to pray and I would pray the rosary it is Biko rate spiritual weapon that we have outside of the Holy Sacrifice of the mass and outside reception of the blessed document to pick up these holy beads and hide them this is our lady so I so she gets out there and she rescues us from our own national. And the devils too so thanks for your call it a crane out there in Seattle Washington helping that this helps you you hear that music friends are going to a break we're going to come back with Mike in question Maggie we want to be with you to pick up the phone do give us a call right here Brian's got a massive choice be attacks that we're going to answer to all kinds of good things coming on the opposite side it is great Janet thank you take your state and we'll be right back.

Radios You Tube channel and Facebook page when it go to Chris Chris is in Portland Oregon today via Facebook a live with who Hey how are you. I did and I was. Today when I called you this Chris from yesterday. You sweetheart. Well I have more hope I. I got immediate. Trade that I get immediate relief and I find Jesus there and it didn't happen all at once but as the day grew on I just felt better more hopeful I was able to get a lot of things done that I haven't done for much access. And I got a message a big message in my not mean much to a lot of people it was very meaningful to me individually and he says let me know that you have been really really really self hating and self doubt. Down on myself because I can't seem to get things done like normal people and I was just getting this beautiful message that I do have a lot on my plate and he can take care of it but I need to stop pretending with other people that everything's cool and just trying to help other people and and just work with him and like it said this might not have a lot of meaning to a lot of people but I needed to get out of the deny that I could at this point in life do. That others. You know do easily so that was a tremendous relief and freedom. Yes. But I just want to thank you so much for your prayers and I'm going to continue to let you know I know things in my heart are going to be Ok. It is a journey but I just need to stop the devil from. Getting me to your adolescent years I can feel it I really mean what I'm trying to tell me how horrible. They are and so I just need. A heart I cannot tell you the joy that you bring to my heart there are not words to express that I am so grateful to God and we just praise you and thank you Lord that already your daughter is seeing her life through a different lens that you are already removing the cataracts her eyes your taking her from denial to truth that you're leading or out of misery and depression into hope this only comes by way of your spirit Lord it shows us that your spirit is at work it gives us confidence to always pray for all things and it turns you into Know that you you have come it every year in our head I know it sounds so mundane to say that sometimes and so trite because we hear it so frequently but the fact of the matter is you delight in showing us that that is the case and you've shown this to Chris and if you've shown it to Chris you're going to show it to everyone who asks you to reveal yourself to them and if we're looking at Father God we see the majesty and the glory and the work of the Holy Spirit by the merits of our Lord Jesus Christ's cross and we thank you and we praise you Father for what you're doing in your daughter we pray that it continues we support her in this in you and we hold on to that great hope indeed we will see your promise is fulfilled in our lives and we know we know that we can trust in you your word is true in chief his holy name we do pray Amen Chris this is another good thing and it is good for all of us remember the Holy Spirit convicts the evil one condemns Let's say that together the Holy Spirit convicts evil one condemns lying that's right so when we begin to feel that sense of condemnation when we begin to take hear voices and then you know what I did he evil one to use our tongues. Against the light him to do that so what does he do he incites these horrible little You're no good life isn't good everything is miserable you're miserable you can't do anything you have no work you have no value he insight this into our heads and we use our own mouth to speak those words in condemn ourselves he is so widely he's so wily So then what do we do that's kind of nation not conviction then we begin to enter into South condemnation I'm no good I can't do anything I don't measure up and what do we do then we bring down oppression upon ourselves we bring down oppressive spirits upon ourselves and we feel under the circumstance as Christians were always to be already started yes because Jesus is the Way the Truth and the life or the spirit of the Lord is there is freedom and you're tasting that freedom Chris so whenever those you know you say he's trying to get your rod up again today of course he is he does not want you to gain a leg up in your freedom he doesn't want you to live in hope he doesn't want you to live in integration he doesn't want you to live in hell in this wholeness he doesn't want you to be yield I don't want that so he tries his tactics but I gave you a really good match that he cannot stand up under the praises of God The Evil One cannot stand the praises of God it you know I don't like picture of the evil one holding him his hands over his ears and screaming I'll allow it he doesn't want to hear you praising God you can't stand it so when we hear those voices and we go into price. In the Evil One can't stand he always I promise you friends this is so true it is so true praise takes our focus on of ourselves it places it on God God inhabits the praises of his people he comes with the help and the assistance and we keep raising and a great keeps flowing I'm just telling you it's the way that it works it's a spiritual principle it's a spirit. To a lot we praise God in the mass this is why I mean you know. I've never been to a mass in Africa but I would love to go to a mass in Africa because it's the everybody that works in the mission fields there tells us that the people are rejoicing and praising Jesus and mass goes on for 2 hours because they are so filled with the Holy Spirit I would love love love to see that happen from time to time once in a while the only thing that Gloria we are really praising Jesus is that we are really praising God we're really praising all is well really delighting in the Father. You know would that be dandy any way Chris plays is so essential and praise belongs to the Catholic Church and we need to exercise it more and more so I thank you honey for your praise report yes it makes us also glad you have lifted this and what God revealed to you is so true this is Chris is time with the Lord he'll heal you up and he girl he will set you on fire and you will go out with a revitalized energy and never had before I can guarantee that So congratulations and thank you and I just one last thing real quickly. I see a counselor who is wonderful. It's believed in God but. You know faith in Christ or anything I do a lot of praying before I go to my counseling session and I can't tell you how many times he has you know I don't know why you came to my head when I asked that the what we still are and I and I think maybe I can be a witness for her. I do talk about Christ and. So I am going back to we're talking about alternative medicine because if you have to go or whatever you know pray pray and pray before you go that you be protected and always a good idea to take holy water to those places I mean I just wouldn't go anyway but the fact is even within our traditional medicine these practices are going on so it never hurts to have some holy water with your own flesh so. Right right but they really let you go and you keep smiling you know smiling is helpful too it really says and orphans they're the happy hormones yay. God bless you honey Love by now what good news right well we're very excited and as a matter of fact that's the theme for take today are you excited to start today so stay tuned for take 2 following our broadcast today which we're going to Mikey's out there in Illinois Hey Mike how are you today you're listening to us via spirit of God. I might. Write. I pray to God but I have a great only Catholic Katie I don't know your military. Wife. Brought me into church but I. Started to really do it don't you love that term Mike . I did too because I mean you can just sit there meditate on that and it says so many things you know I do a duet things in harmony you know it makes a beautiful melodious tone just all kinds of images come up with that phraseology I don't know that it's like anything that's out there really broadly but I will tell you the 1st time I heard it and it was quite a beautiful wonderful priest him I'm happy to call friend just a holy man of God Father George Montague and he is a prolific writer and he wrote a book called Mary and the Holy is the holy duet Mary and the Holy Spirit and so that was the 1st time that I heard that term ever being applied to me I am the Holy Spirit any man to just come up with that is the title of his book I don't know that it's anything that you know has been traditional in the church I never heard it before but I just think it's such an apt description of them and as a matter of I'm borrowing that term from Father Montague for our women of grace retreat at Melbourne this year Melbourne retreat house right outside of Philadelphia Pennsylvania where they're every year it's our annual retreat and this year it's Mary Mary and the Holy Spirit embracing the holy duet and I'm so eager for. Beautiful beautiful retreat to come up and I do want to just say to all you ladies out there you know it's not too soon to register that retreat fills up it fills up we get to add capacity pretty quickly so you can get out there in Melbourne's retreat Melbourne retreat centers website with God I think up on our website women of Grace dot com That's it Mike you know I don't know it from any other any other way.

News we want you to know it's available so get out to Catholic News Agency dot com That's all spot out Catholic News Agency dot com. And read all about it right there free for you yeah a wonderful thing all right let's go to Maggie she's calling us from Fort Wayne Indiana today Good morning Maggie how are you today dear. Good morning Don I'm very well thank you for taking my phone call your line I hope I can say that clearly. Now thankfully. It took courage. And had healed and their relationship with our Lord by that I mean like they have a full understanding they lived their life what appeared to be filled with great they. Can that person still be blinded to write one thing they've created in someone else and. Or does our Lord always heal. And show us or is it possible that our Lord can heal someone. They did not show them and I'm asking this upon the death of my mother in law who you know was a galley matter a Sharon raised a large family you know I think from all accounts you know anyone would observe her as a faithful woman. Certainly she was like practiced her religion. But she was very so so her family would say she was very blocked from. Some things and their lives for me personally and she ended up cutting me off at the end of her life so it's a very awful awful love her dearly so it's an awful ending for me because she died suddenly without any right to deflation so I'm just trying to understand why they're hearing that. Kind of person really be healed with our Lord be in relationship with our Lord but still be behaving you know. Other waves in the body of quite well yeah you know here here's the thing there's that beautiful passage sacred scripture Maggie that applies to all of us frankly I want to bust to greater or lesser extent but the passage has to do with you know that we need to remove this plane from our eye you know before we address the speck in our brother's eye and oftentimes we are blinded to those areas of our own being that are in need of healing and sometimes we kind of rest ourselves on some type of a. Spiritual platitude you know we kind of think that we're Ok and we kind of believe that that you know with with progress this far and we do all of these things we go to daily mass we receive communion we go to confession at least once a month probably more you know we do acts of charity we do all of these things and all of those are very meritorious actions so I'm not just in those in any way right we pray the rosary we do know Venus and we've got ourselves also not in in a little cocoon called I am a holy person. And when we get there. And somehow we spin this cocoon far we no longer begin to see that we're not perfect. And we if somebody said you know we don't think you're perfect I it we would certainly say oh no I'm not perfect but the fact of the matter is we behave and function as if we are that everything's been rectified in us and frankly you know we're just we should be canonized now and it's a very it's a very very dangerous place to be it's it's it's it's a it's a it is a spiritual falshood and it's and it's a pitfall and so this is why we always have to realize that none of us is perfect that even the just me and since 7 times today and none of us can boast except in Jesus Christ our Lord so. They make a great big statement there's not a person listening today not you Maggie nor me or anybody else is listening today that is completely healed it just isn't the case because if we were completely healed Jesus which is take his right to have it you would die and we would go on to glory in this life it is a process you know and salvation is a process St Paul tells us that through his letter to the that's lonely and I believe it is so you know none of us have arrived and frankly this is a great grace of purgatory because sometimes we die with these with these you know grievous. Areas cavernous areas in our heart that need to be filled up with God. So yes can we be blind of course we can be blind most typically we are blind and so this is why you know when we're very serious about the spiritual life we seek spiritual guidance and direction sometimes that comes to a person that is always marvelous and wonderful when that can happen but there's other ways to do it too you know in conversation with God a great series of books to read not to read but really to pray in conversation it's a volume either 7 excuse me it's a set of. 5 volumes and then 2 for special feast days. Divine intimacy with Father Gabriel St Mary Magdalen I cannot recommend that book highly enough if you're serious about the spiritual life this is why we do an examination of conscience for all of those reasons so with regard to your mother in law it is sad it is so sad when when people. Do not see the way in which their actions have really impacted on others because then there is no way of asking for forgiveness and we want to do that to the extent that we can be reconciled we certainly want to do done it's very hard for us to admit when we're wrong it's hard for us to admit that with ever caused anybody any sadness or or pain we don't like to look at those realities it's hard for us to say that somebody sometimes it's hard for us is somebody has hurt us because we choose to put up a defense mechanism in its place so can you can there be is healing here in this life that's not completed here absolutely and this is why God gives us the grace of mercy through purgatory where that work is completed because we cannot enter into heaven with those difficulties and trials as for you sweetheart you know this relationship ended up on reconcile but I remind you the community is Saint is real and true so if your mother in law is in purgatory or if she has it haven't we don't know which because we can't judge or so nobody knows exactly what happens at the moment of death war as the soul is separating from the body before you know. While there is still some life in the body we don't know about those moments and we don't know what happens there but what we can say is this we can say that it we are our loved ones are are not separated from us but only invisible to us that's a quote from St John the 23rd. And so we know that we can still have communication not in this sense a knack a man say not in the sense of calling up spirit not a defensive stance but spiritually we are still connected in the body of Christ. And you can say to your mother in law I really seek I really seek from you. Any kind. Of forgiveness. a marvelous time to end game and he'll tell them I have not yet. I just ducked a regular Any thank you for listening to the e.w.t.n. Global Catholic Radio Network.

The fact that he says Rader and he's a valuable unique human being. So I don't get. That God says you have infinite dignity because I have declared it a Richards I mean read this from the galleys Section 6091 this is a quote from Saint Leo the great you don't really get too many saints that are saintly old Ok yeah he was. Christian recognize your dignity. And now that you share in God's own nature remember who is your head and whose body you are a member and never forget that you have been rescued by the power of darkness and brought into the light of the Kingdom of God. I used to walk into the schools where I worked. In the bulletin boards would be plastered with little flowers and each kid's name was on a little flower and say something like You know I'm special. And you know we're all special hair and I remember thinking this is a very fragile self and. And isn't it beautiful that the church is always taught that we are good because we are created in God's image going back to Genesis in the divine image he created us Saint John Paul the 2nd talks about that the human body is the glory of God It reflects the glory of God that we are because of God we have our dignity not just in ourselves and not in what people say about as we have our very dignity because we are created by the God the universe who is love it's a glorious thing God does everything in his power to save us Athen people think the gods out to get us he's only out to get us to love us forever.

And we are here on location at the Catholic wanting network visiting with various authors stopping by or either be taken apart and behold it's Dr Frederick Marx It's good to see a good doctor could gather at one at the show it might have been this one in particular that we went and talked about your book that was think and believe yes it was that book about the mind it all was all apologetics case for the Case for Christ case the Church that Christ founded and the whole history of it I was assuming in Christianity interpreted it right not from an historical scientific. Value at the point of view so that's all apologetic this book is an apologetic how this book lets a 2nd and of course this Confessions of a Catholic St advantage now there's actually a picture of a guy looks like you standing on the front cover with a cap like evidence you'll actually taught history right across history at Purdue University and saying challenge University in New York l. So how did that go from history to St evangelization cap again it is still. You know Frank shade standing up to the bait on a street corner because everything was. Elling apart spiritually during the sixty's and seventy's and I decided I could do better in this field and in the field of history that come to you on your own you feel that that was something in a rare as a put on your heart and you feel. Well I think that that that I always had a mission to do this type of work because I was taking notes very carefully for even one of the teaching history was taking a lot of notes on things that would be useful for the teaching of religion my defense of the faith and I kind of thing I had commenced numbers of index cards so when things started to really fall apart I thought to myself you know I did try to use some of this stuff let me see what happens if I switch from history and religion right into all writing and if God wants it to happen it will happen well was your father a strong influence on your palaces Yes he was because he was non-religious when he married my mother Ok She was an articulate virtuous wonderful woman and he would pound her with questions on the faith for 20 years at the dinner table she kept answering and answering and answering at the end of 20 years my father became a convert to Catholicism and he was a very happy and very was very glad to defend the faith right and he made a great impression on me right now of a New Yorker so I know we're in such a station he's young and I and as a kid you would say the place was crowded or crazy it's a this place is like Grand Central Station and that you're standing there so you got people walking by what does it feel like the stand there I mean do you shout out things to people or do you just respond if someone comes up to we hand out leaflets Ok And we also get talks so we run the rostrum and we have a camera on us and so on we attract attention by the talks that we give we don't always get a big audience people come to our table you know when we're speaking and we hand out leaflets and answer all kinds so that they allow you to be there with you get it at a government you don't have to pay in Grand Central and the parts you have to pay and some atomicity parts and. So you know there's a lot of captains acid in your copy asleep Grand Central when they're like having one and they must be thrilled to see you there in a very happy that you're out there standing up for the faith. Well some of them are some of them encouraged as a line grateful for that there are many many Catholics sort of wonder what we're doing because they don't see a dental ization as a Catholic they write you know are you just as witnesses are you Mormons are you do you have a carnal permission do we need to advertise traveling for this while. Most people are careless with the carnal part about very many things but the region where they have a melody just sort of. Sail by and they say I'm Catholic I don't need this I don't need any of this right so I say didn't oh yeah but if you have faith base your faith you know what we have here and subscribe to reading. Well if you say Capek's are the least interested of all Christian groups and Bible study also the least interest vandalization a whopping $99.00 when I present the missionary one is likely to meet on the street are non Catholic and I'm assuming that's also been your experience when you're an absolutely we're out there with a journalist witnesses were out there with them Mormons were out there with Evan Jellicoe also coming from Pennsylvania the Amish people very few Catholics are doing this right now but you interviewed Steve Dawson Right exactly and his St Paul Street eventually I imagine that creeping right average Catholic to do just this kind of thing very practical down to earth supply and free online courses and so on I think that's great but then we run the risk of offending people I mean this is we have great concern these days with not make anybody feel comfortable or right you're not supposed to impose your ideas on Ok All right we've heard that most of all is your idea this Ford Motor Company and I was saying it's ideas when it advertises a Mustang advertising has always been a really you know that. You know not employing and all that money we don't. But television doesn't impact they. Would be Ok with her and you dance What are you right. Exactly you know when an argument was a print right as way to win an argument is not to hammer on you all of these kind of things but we are being friendly price freedom interests we start friendly and friendly we have great respect Told you think some amount of that too because we did a wonderful document all save one of wealth in sheep's clothing and soul and skin it was really trying to understand how we ended up in this kind of world where everybody seems to be demonized and so assuming you have a disagreement. It is no longer a let's let's figure out how common ground or my understanding becomes it must be something on which you're a bad person it's not that your ideas might be best that you yourself are bad you run into but we get some of this type of thing usually comes that comes and a contraception you know you have a nice conversation with a person about a brain and a lawn and someone and maybe even persuading them that positions are very good until something like contraception is up and then they just walk away right other words there may be something in their life divorce and remarriage contraception and so on as many I am really giving us a good open ear what we're saying. Actually is a disinterested in Bengal's a she is equally bad all of the nations of Christendom receive their faith from missionaries commission by the sea around obviously so why is it that the average can either is disinterested or certainly doesn't. Help that they wrote. Well the average Catholic is not very well formed in a faith they don't know that 1st Peter 3. Peter's letter in the New Testament someone says that all of us need to be prepared to reason people ask about faith and they're not very familiar with the catechism it's 1816 I think in the catechism it says that Angelus safe is necessary for salvation and. Certainly not familiar with what all of the recent attempts of insane because France is Benedict on call they've all been saying take it to the streets knock on the doors right get dirty and all of this type of thing and they've been blocking Bible study like crazy is. sounds very Protestant You know what's even Jellicoe parents and then you have the even Jellicoe asked What are these are people who are very good at leading their children their charges as a priest or bishop to God and in many ways of doing it of course as a parent I try to give some examples and the power parent can help their children to God and you know print sample instead of going to church only once a week like they really believe the Eucharist is what they say it is maybe they could go more often and it's a week. You know they if they believe that confession is what it's supposed to be maybe they can take their child to confession on a regular basis and be the 1st to go in and when they come out tell a child a like they feel and I wanted it yeah right if they can stop into a church once in a while next visit and so on well there are hundreds of 6 exactly you talk how a parent can be Evan Jellicoe and Kaplan. Callahan strictly Evan Jellicoe and came. You know India but Pastor Wright and that's right in the sense of Angel Eyes as we have just. Been Jellicoe which. Is a Protestant right as perspective and chapter 4 and it's a way to Barrister vandalization is Love them anyway. Anyway plant the seeds that's how we feel on the street fanning the seeds and so on it sometimes it takes people 2030 years to connect the dots right cross the t's and get on board right. Yeah like this is a problem I mean I don't think people are raised to reason so much today as to repeal it you think it will become the same thing in their mind it educates to get something out of I feel about anything really get me out a thing as a some help to. It is and I can decide but the world one thing you mentioned it just before we go and there's so much in here to go through the nuts and bolts media mischief What do you mean by medium is. About mainline media. Because the finest and most successful end of the endless ation ever devised by anyone and so on and I left my car you were reaching 250000000 families and I wonder why our country right so I got motoring and media mischief and that was right on media mischief in a sense that the media is 9899 percent old by people hate religion seems to be a reality they hate what we stand for right so you're getting everything sort of filtered in a certain way through the New York Times and The Washington Post and all of the stand. Usually organizations and so on n.b.c. And someone so. Young. And you see it everywhere I mean I could I could spend hours and hours you know giving you all kinds of examples of twisting the truth to save that for the next show and maybe even your next book because we're out of time but I'd like to say one. This is a response to the trumpet call of mother and Helen said Give me 10 Jehovah Witness type Catholics things the world. This race is written as a result like it we do for the truth but others are willing to do for error Eric Sacco thank you so much for people like you and Dr Frederick w. Mark Confessions of a Catholic St evangelist and you know what he is one he lives it read it there's a lot of great information between r.c. Dot com is the place you can find it and this is on location I'm at a cafe in Chicago. Lord Jesus Christ work in the Prince of Peace for yourself are peace and reconciliation. And peace. Brand species. Make men and women witnesses of truth justice and brotherly. Banish them their courage whatever might endanger. Enlighten our rulers that they make guarantee and then the great get to. Play all the peoples of the Earth become as brothers and sisters a run for peace plan so forth and reign always over us on. The once again the book want we're on location like marketing network in Chicago and stopping in trouble is an old friend and former coworker it's a charm Nash thanks as always always great to see a Tommy boy from archaeology department the past week the 2 of us actually work together yes and some around coverage Alanah all action I'm going to add back much and we get a chance to work together and you were also co-hosted least one series 3 abbé and Either way many I mean read out the biblical story the man's right and then I also helped out periodical as a panelist and theology roundtable shelf and of course that one with Father way that was based on a book you read that I write reason with the world is a land of the before it's a mass and republish years ago by some chance to provide simply the builder that Matlab there are still available Ok very good so now we have. What did Jesus do the biblical roots of the capital church and we always hear well what would you what would Jesus do so I'm assuming you're playing on that making that attempt and but that kind of what Which is it was kind of a Protestant thing it and I connected to the Catholic faith was that your intention exactly my intention and also this you're coming out with a point since any of the Reformation 500 years what better time to say going away look do we better see what he did and we see what he did do we see that he founded the Catholic Church which he sustained for 2000 years and whatever hope the reformers had for getting things they didn't need doctrinal reforming but why you form the church went by the wayside when they broke when they got ordained church authorities right. And so your intention then is like you said is get back to the roots to see what the intention is I know one of the things you spend of a decent amount of time in the beginning of the book talking about is in a sense the history city of the Gospels and the teaching of our Lord and one of the things that was interesting you talk about the idea and I think this was something made a peer peer pressure. To draw on what was this idea of not only the idea this isn't happening that didn't happen but the idea of a legend and a and which I thought was kind of an interesting approach where it talks about the idea that you know it's not so much that Jesus wasn't there or that he didn't live but it's just that what got written about Am may nappies again manufactured and yet it doesn't make sense because when you look at the historical records it's like Jane coming in and we rely on these stories of bents Well we've got other people that testify to Secor is joining in but as well with a gun they are going to get it right and that's where we get to like them to decay again and alfresco are good for now crest of the. In a radio will you be doing some work with as well he wrote the forward to the book he says what Western Christians called the nomination a listen didn't exist before the so-called Reformation 1517 which you were alluding to before what is the nomination in an inhalation was and would come from the land they know many of the name so we Catholics were not of the nomination but one the one true church early state and how many said it was Christ centered Ballantrae of it there you go there you go and I always think what's great Frist also realizes that there's a better chill in the fact that someone could be as close to Jesus Judas it turned out the way he did and the fact that. He did what he did did not take away from the church itself No exactly and it also gives the why did he create him out God knows everything but there is many causes everything like leader says well he knows everything I mean he ordained it well know we still have a free will. And limit God can who knows everything right anything is present to God but we still live it out in terms of free will and so yet chillis even though we made the choice he did that is an open because why because we believe in Jesus name is receiving their free will we believe and he will be able to ability to do it and for MacAllister predestination precisely like the negative he doesn't he's more like some are going to heaven some are going to help by God as a really matter if it's a bad puppet show. Alice images he says Tom Nash knows that the credo competition was not Jesus' will for his church he works hard to avoid demonizing polemics and labors to settle the argument by peeling to a Protestant brother sister in our common ground of scripture is confident that Jesus can settle the argument so do you see this book as being focused on reinforcing tap likes of convincing Protestants or both both and you know even to try to reach out to a secularist read an atheist because when it's. About the reliability of sobriety I talk about and I get Alice's makes strange bedfellows insofar as if you're even writing a bitch way for a long time the church is irrelevant while the game guys are talking about is what if it were irrelevant so even to try to reach out because Christ is for everyone the church for everyone for the possible is this is just for Catholics brothers and sisters who are people for those upon the way say look you see some scandals in the church don't let that dissuade you from the fact that Jesus founded and sustain a church a human institution dug in and out of business 20 centuries ago and so also to reach out to our secular friends to anything I said this is a real person. Rose from the dead that's why the focus is on Jesus and he said the church was an afterthought a mere pragmatic Association of Jesus it's people so does that also in your mind run against this kind of I don't need a religion I don't need church it's just kind of this Jesus and the spirituality exactly because even though we haven't so much more than you but you know you always work through the buying We are dangerous story whether was Moses whether was through the King like David I mean despite David's misting that. Cabin in the kingdom know that eventually there was some there was a price to pay his child died then of a truce to take care to hate her but rather for bashing that write it down and continue so that despite man's misdeeds God continues whether it's Abraham of Hagar you know I got the maidservant but it goes you either find out you there but. I think you really don't remember God is going to say you know what are you going to show my sandwich in my divinity that I'm right straight line right and it's because of God at the end of end of the New Testament writers if they want to whitewash things certainly the old has revised the very bad job of exactly writers could have used them already Yes And you know you look at the lineage and I see that. Ray had the Harley like you don't want to have that in your Lenny right now it's showing God's sovereignty is our His omnipotence and also that these are real people these are real struggling with real issues in their lives and that even when they fail or all our Lord is still there them we've got less than perfect kids and yet my church continues why because it will we don't have a pope that we have God the Father so whenever it opens and that. I have to put time I like some of your subtitles here you've got who cares what Jesus did but also how many airborne divisions does the Church Militant guy that was there praise of stamina and I mean Churchill Alair nature yeah actual respond is my Somebody mentioned as well Eliot more than a few leads in something like that that are not always on parade referring to a visit later but yeah I want to because time and maybe I can and right I believe because the visions as a pope again and this is entice a loved one when I was a member of the ways I got mercy on him and the church continued sizing because it is the finally found it. And wondering with a book like this to be perfect that your heavenly Father is perfect in tune Shall we go how do you see a book like this especially in the light of what we're dealing with today in the culture do you see this also taking on some of those questions the culture the people have like you said. You know the priest scandal we deal with or even something as financial scandals in a parish or in the Vatican things like that or you know people saying that there's confusing teaching or what people thought was solid teaching now that seems to be being questioned even if it's not really being questioned but there's seems to be a fair amount of confusion here this is something that can bring some clarity I hope so just in terms of that we know where to look right we looked around we looked at the pope in his official teaching. You know it's true also we remind ourselves that Christ kind of the church they said earlier because maybe you had a scandal maybe there was a piece like a battery or a bishop like don't let that. X. Help you or obscure the facts prevent you from seeing that scientists found these churches sustain it and he's done a pretty good 1000 years and again if he had been merely human read it out a bit a long time ago ran only from external persecutions internal scandals and aptitude of human being and that excuse any of that by any point out that there is something else there's something else here girding this and the fact that the 2nd is I like I don't think you don't get it Dana Molokai show me the leak if you took a 2nd version of power each has a billions goes to a leper colony and only thrives but that only survive but thrive I don't think you can explain that power positive thinking if it's only neuroses going to get you very far and it shows it shows that grace is real God is real and that's where you get things right lol keep you in our prayers and we'll think positively at the same time thank you people buy this book and think what you were good to see of my friend Nash What did Jesus do the little roots the Catholic Church it's the truth you should check it out between r.c. .

KRCN 1060 AM [Radio Colorado Network]-20170902-160000

Had a great Labor Day weekend coming out on Tuesday any cartel a brand new cd dedicated to Our Lady of Fatima on the 100th anniversary Plus Michael Warsaw for me to be a chance of course to tell us all about our brand new offices opening up in Great Britain all of them on a Tuesday. Cancelling connection we came mornings at 9 am Eastern on e.w.t.n. Radio. Most Holy Trinity we adore you. We thank you for raising up men and women who have come to the aid of those who have suffered the recent disaster and this fallen world. Strengthen and guides on a large sun then we pray holy angels to assist our work to bring comfort and hope to those who are mourning and to build up lasting bonds of friendship and charity and the hearts of all Christ our Lord and you are listening to a previously recorded take to with Jerry and Debbie to you to you in radio please no calls at this time. Either take you with Gerry and Debbie get here Ladies Day middle of the week day. Laddie girl with us on the p.t. And radio and all of our affiliates thank you affiliates for carrying the program and we thank you our listeners for being a part of the show because what we try and construct each day on this program is an opportunity for you to weigh in and share your takes and really enlighten and educate and inspire the rest of us with with whatever it is that we're talking about Debbie and today we're going to be talking about something that should be pretty well known and and somewhat understood by all of our listeners we're going to tell. About what are we what do we gain what what happens to us how do we benefit spiritually when we look upon and meditate upon the crucifix so crucifixes are everywhere in our homes in our churches we may be wearing them around our neck or as on our restore a I've even seen crucifix rain there's so many ways that the crucifix is around us and in front of us and like Jerry said What has the crucifix taught you when you gaze upon the crucifix What do you think of what do you meditate on what comes to you what speaks to you about the crucifix some people we know are really offended by the crucifix we know that that I pray they're not Catholic Christians but some are and why is it is it a depressing symbol or is it something of hope is it something of freedom is it something that is it is eternally beneficial to us so we're asking the question today What has the crucifix taught you now where you can have a conversation like this probably not in your at your workplace and probably not in your community but you can have it here right right now and take so please call in 180-585-9396 yet the this could go in so many different directions maybe a gaze upon Christ on the cross and it's just simply the total sacrifice that he gave for you maybe you feel that very deeply very personally maybe maybe there have been times when you sort of zeroed in on the hands the hands of the palms the hands of Christ and thought what pain that must have caused him or the feet sometimes I think about his feet because we know that he was really in many ways supported by his feet had to try to push himself up right to get each breath and finally you know he willingly of course gave up his life but there were the physiological things going on as well and in his feet had to be just. In absolute absolute agony during that whole time well when I we watch that my husband and I watch the passion Mel Gibson's The Passion every year during Lent and you know and in that scene where they are nailing him to the crotch they you know how they they pull the the arm out the outstretched the arm a day and they have to get to overstretch it so they dislocated the body and you just think about what torment his body was going to be like you said that every breath he had to take it eventually if they created because he couldn't couldn't hold himself up to breathe I mean it's just the whole entire crucifixion process is barbaric and horrific you to even just when you explain it let alone to think that our Savior went through that and so when you look at the crucifix What does it mean for you this is an important question very important actually it's it's so essential for us as Catholics 180585939 Thanks that's the number to be on the show. Yet when you look at the crucifix is it easy for you to join Jesus on the cross so to speak we are called to do that to unite our sufferings with him on the cross so when you gaze upon a crucifix does it give you that sense of hope that you can say Jesus here's what I'm going through I united to you in essence I nail it on the cross with you and offer it for for yourself or for somebody else that you know and I'll tell you this Debbie this is an insight that I've had for many many years and I want to know if anybody else to share this when I look upon a crucifix I realize that any time I'm tempted to sin and I choose not to in a sense I don't know if we can say this in any strict sense but in a certain I think on a certain spiritual level I am lessening the suffering of Jesus because that's one less sin that he had to die for I mean he suffered perfectly and totally of course for all the sins of the whole world but I want to know if anybody else can it. Feels that same way that when you when you're tempted to say in your mind goes to the cross and you say wait a minute I'm not going to commit the sin not because it's wrong or not because it might hurt me in some way because it's just it'll be one less sin the letting the burden Yeah yeah yeah I love that concept because if we remember God stand outside of time so everything is past present and future and so that's very interesting Jerry I never thought of it like that so when you are tempted to stand if you overcome that if you're able to be virtuous you are lessening the burden far stadia Wow that's huge that was an aha moment I have to write that dance at the perfect time to take a break take a late Jerry and that it is your shell please call in you get a lot to say about and don't wait 180585939 take we can back we're going to write again in Washington. This is Christos the 1st in the interest in the new look at all of life to Dylan to prepare to teaching of the Catholic Church teaching is the light by which we live in the world and so look for everything abortion to Hollywood for the 1st Amendment to be guided ations everything in between telling St Paul we're seeking Holy Father's prayer intention for the month of September is that our parishes animated by a missionary spirit baby places where faith is communicated and charity is seen. This is Bill Donohue with a capital e. This is Bishop robber baron of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles and Dr Greg pop track and I'm Lisa project for more to life of a safe and blessid Labor Day weekend from Paul of I think he got e.t.n. Radio. Take you with. You we look forward to hearing what you say about what you've learned from the crucifix if you don't have proof crucifixes up in your home please think about that I mean it's just really such a I mean it is deciding of our faith and St Paul says Debbie what he say I result you know nothing but Jesus Christ and Him crucified and if we don't have the the offering of Christ to the father on the cross then we are lost we are hopeless so this is it's our hope it is our salvation and we need to remind ourselves of the great gift that he gave us on the cross as often as we can. I absolutely love having Chris effects as throughout our home and I when Usually when I travel I wear a crucifix or maybe a cross. And I tell you what it's it's really a conversation starter and it's an evangelization tool as well to be able to share with somebody how important it is that you would you would place it as a piece of. Sacred jewelry around your neck and I think it's very important so this is a great topic and a great conversation to have Gerri so we're asking you to please participate if you're listening right now and you have some thoughts and some feelings about when you gaze upon the crucifix what it means to you Well now's the time to call in there is to open phone lines I can't believe it usually they fill up right away so that must mean that the Holy Spirit is not being you 1800. 939 sick Ok As promised we're going to Gene in Walla Walla Washington 1st up today on take 2 with Jerry and Debbie Gene welcome to the program guess actually we don't have Gene ready yet sorry about that Ok so yet they're still working on that and actually Debbie Yeah just said we had to open phone lines we don't and we don't any of our. Heroes are leaving yeah by the way just so people know when you call into the program we got this great new call screening system ACA Bensky does a fantastic job and of madd is on the line talking to somebody screening a call your your line is not going to ring and ring and ring and ring and ring what what happens is you're going to it's going to be picked up you'll hear a little bit of a message that says Hey thanks for calling e.w.t.n. Radio hold on just a minute we'll get right with you and you just you just sit there on hold just for a minute madam get right over there and get you ready for the program so Debbie is really it's a wonderful new tool that we have it is and we're still learning all the little tools and gadgets and all the little bells and whistles That's very nice and it's wonderful to see all the phone lines light up like that they are right now that means you have something to say remember this is appeared to have an administrative peer driven show not all shows are designed the same way this show is meant for us to just kind of explore things together and hopefully when we finish this. Our this brief hour together we've learned a little bit may believe had some of those moments that I just had right before the break when Jerry shared about lessening the burden for for Jesus and His suffering when we when we choose to master overcome the temptation of center and I think that is really wonderful Jerry I if it's Ok with you I'm going to borrow that in my next talk because almost 2 and I have years of doing the show I finally came up with something that they were saying. Well you do all the time but I try not to. Give you a big head so there you go thank you so much I'm trying to give you a keep you humble that's a good day that's Ok You know I always say Saint Paul had a thorn in his flesh I have a thorn bush in my flesh I don't worry. Oh well you know Kerry I would love for somebody to maybe also talk about when I said at the beginning that there are people that are that are not. That are not Catholics that are very offended by the crucifix with that with a cork design on the crotch not just a straight cross but the crucifix and it always bothers me I wore a crucifix when I was in the hotel industry Gerry and ice to get a lot of people that would complement me in a lot of people that you could tell they didn't they didn't really appreciate it and that's very very unfortunate I don't know why I don't know why it offends people so much and I would love it maybe somebody could enlighten us on that as well 180-585-9396 that's the number to call when a line becomes free Ok Maggie is in Charleston South Carolina Maggie we're so glad to have you with us on take 2 with Gerry and Debbie you're up 1st Hello Maggie. How are you all and in doing well thanks for calling. I wanted to share that in my parish records. That are that a little bit different and. And if I nail. On the crease and arms are reaching. Out to the Body of Christ and His flesh is not pierced and when I gaze upon that with that represents to me as he was not held there by the nails he was held there by his love. He went up. To sacrifice was given. And instead of being stuck there by nails and not having any free will because he was restrained Instead he was there willingly and he is reaching out out to us his embrace his inviting us and many times when people gaze upon the crucifix I think they are upset as you are sitting. By the suffering and they see the negative and they see the the cruelty and the. Hatred and they see all of that they could also be offended witnessing. Because that's just listen but anytime I gaze on the crucifix I always focus on his hands because they are there far out there not up against the cross they are out probably 45 degrees out into the into the parish. To me that's what the crucifix is that is love and they're not. The brutality of being strapped down and unwillingly being sacrificed it was a gift to us not to me what. I love the way you said his love held him there I got an image of that that just really warmed my heart when you said that it's not as you're describing that crucifix as in your church it sounds like the artist almost did a mix between the crucified Christ and the resurrected Christ and my in my sensing that. Yeah that's interesting that I've never seen it done that way I've seen I've seen the resurrection of Christ and I've seen the crucified Christ but I've never seen it kind of where it has both elements of. That's fascinating I would love it if you could send a picture to I've never seen that. We say yeah it's Napa picture and then send it to take to the number 2 at e.w.t.n. Dot com We'll get it right away. That would be wonderful and I've heard I don't it's a poem or what it is but it it has that same line in it Maggie that it was is love that held him on the cross not the nails and we know that because Jesus was God He could've he could have snapped his fingers he could have called on legions of angels to just basically destroy anyone who was persecuting him torturing him crucify him at that time but he didn't because he knew that we needed that sacrifice on the cross that was going to win our salvation so everything he did nothing was really done to him I mean it was done to him but he willingly offered himself as the sacrificial lamb so yes it was his love and Maggie that's a great point if we take nothing away from our looking upon him praying over a crucifix it should be the immense love that God the Father and Jesus and the Holy Spirit have for us so thanks for sharing that. You made a list of thanks very thing thank you beautiful Ok So next step is Lisa in Ann Arbor Michigan listening on Ave Maria radio Hi Lisa welcome to take area and Debbie . There. We are are you. Martin are. There. When I look at that. I think about you know my hands. Are all the things that I've done with my hands. For. All those things. And then one day when we're all called the wedding. Because. He wore that because he accepted they. Will all be a. Great. Solace in a way that. We can even have. A reminder be there until he comes again because you know you've been. To clear my desk very resurrection so like. So. Whether. Or. Not the figure not cross. Their little cross at the bottom that extra little that goes. On one side and down on the other doesn't serve mine when I. Try my luck I have it so it's. Going to be like. The one to. Think. It's a good thing that we can. You know what comes to my mind and heart as you're talking and I love how you are relating this. 2 specific sins that we can commit sins of the mind sins of the hand I think of all the places my feet have taken me with the express purpose of committing sins in my life and and Jesus' feet were pierced and suffered so horribly for that but the one thing that really just kind of is impressed upon my heart about what you're saying is I'm thinking of how many times I have sinned out of presumption and I have thought Ok Jesus has Sakho he made a sacrifice it's done my sins are forgiven and so I sometimes fail to think that what that the huge enormous price that he had to pay for that and yes no matter what we do throughout our entire lives any sin is covered by His blood and is forgiven by him if we approach him for that but it really really should be more of a deterrent I'm talking and I'm I'm accusing myself here Debbie and I don't know if you've ever felt this way but just what Lisa saying is I so many times we just stop and think wait a minute before I do this what price was paid and you know and really just out of out of love and gratitude for what Jesus did for us maybe a void committing a certain sense so I'm I'm really inspired by what Lisa said Oh I am as well and Lisa I just kept as you were speaking I was thinking to myself Where are all Christians on a journey and where maturing as Christians and as we mature and we go through life experience as we learn to appreciate things that maybe we did possibly overlook or take for granted just because it could just seem like it was just part of our existence as Christians but as we've mature we tend to grow with an appreciation and that's what I think is so beautiful that what your comment and I could hear if we could hear it in your heart how beautiful it is how you just so appreciate from your heart what Jesus has done and that's what we pray for for all Christians to get to that point where they can really understand that this is this is the group. crédit We can aid in saying the greatest gift is if it sounds you can't it doesn't even do justice there's no words to describe what he has done for us so thank you Lisa for reminding us that we really do need to make it as a constant awareness and a mindset that we do appreciate what do you think. You are alive. You know if. You didn't know if. You know it. But you would. You know think that. Maybe they were. Right and yet another good insights Elise Yeah we actually because of Jesus taking on our humanity we took we had a play we took played a part in our own redemption if you will because Jesus took on human human nature so Debbie great stuff from Lisa today thank you so much Lisa it sounds like you're driving be safe and thank you for your contribution today and take Wow Ok Sandy we have time for you Cindy before the break driving through like my mother in law used to say Missouri she's from Missouri and Sandy welcome to take you with Gerry and Debbie. Me I hate to. Disillusion you will see that you. Belong to the enemy to remove. My turf. For the you can't just say to the court so. Travelling. On 2 things came to mind when you picked her up. First of all being the only. Dieting to be absolutely focused on the Christmas experiment he also only when we get a holy holy I look up to the rafters but otherwise I answered No summarized by that Krista take 6 specially when during the concert preachments and the 2nd ball. I went to the Holy Land and I put my hands in the hole where the crucifix sorry the cross was a were Christ Laden were Christ was resurrected and it was just Israel that's more in there. When I see. The hardest things for us I think. Most important part the best part. I really feel like to missing out in not having a. Right. To remember is so special. So that's what I had to say today and I love you Paul. Thank you Andy we love you. If you I would but there are a few and no I agree I agree with you why the cross itself is absolutely amazing and it's beautiful and to meditate upon it and to think about what Jesus did for us absolutely but when you when you have the critics when the corpus is on on the cross it takes on the full meaning it it it brings it into that. You can identify with it as a human being and I it's it becomes very intimate if you will because that suffering we can all in a in a small way identify with suffering and when you see it right there you you it just be that visual image kind of imprints on your soul in a I do agree with you I think the Krista takes is very very powerful Jerry Yeah you actually we're going to get to our immovable a little pause here but there's a whole lot more take to which area to be coming up Sandy I have a some I'm going to share real briefly So if you want to stay tuned in and drive safely there through Missouri we appreciate you listening on Sirius x.m. 130 I will I just have a quick thought on that the Jesus of the corpus being on the crucifix or not after the break and then we got Dennis and Cappy and sister Christina and Ellen we're program events programming to confess to. Collaborate with anything we can take away all the details about getting opportunity. E.w.t.n. Dot com. Good to have you with us something to do with Gerry Debbie Debbie Georgie Ani I'm curious you're right back here in just a minute I just had a thought on this whole crucifix versus cross without the corpus corpus course being Latin for body the body of Christ I just really Debbie and I don't know you'd agree with this I mean I can completely understand how many non Catholic Christians would. Perhaps have an objection to Christ being on the cross I mean they really want to emphasize the resurrection and that's that's totally understandable and and of course we are a people of the resurrection you know Jesus was was put to death and suffered and died not just of it as an end in itself but to get to the resurrection of the dead so that we too could be raised from the dead you know and in that you point in time and live with him forever but again I just want to echo what you said Debbie and that is sort of the fullness I think of the understanding of Christ sacrifice which again is backed up very strongly by St Paul in 1st Corinthians 2 Verse 2 where he says I result to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified so there's nothing at all wrong I mean I have in my home I have crosses without the corpus on them I do but I looking just to my right here I have a crucifix and out on my mantle I have a crucifix and course all the rows reason everything that I have so I just really believe it's important that we keep that in front of us and the crucifix is what helps us do that I agree I agree thank you again so very much drive safely to Missouri and we just we just appreciate when we hear from you thank you keep us keep in touch and don't be a stranger and thank you for your contribution today God bless you Ok We're going to move right along to Dennis in Michigan he's been waiting so patiently and Dennis I think you got yes you did get it you got our virtual patients award I don't know what you're going to do with the dentist but it's yours identify welcome to take it with Gerry and Debbie I have a great program. And patron. Virtue came in us for. Reflections Jesus' crucifixion. He asked to be on a cross we all know there's 3 days that happen. For us so I just want to. Start writing a little booklet yesterday I got 60 reasons why I. Haven't voted. And some are polar to each other it's terrible. It's horrible it's despicable it's beautiful. It's disturbing it's our salvation. It is humbling slow to unifying all to love. To call the faith to call to love it is an honorific of our God. And his love for us confirmation of God's love. Confirmation of our debt to God our debt. It is forgiveness. Every day I'm sure it allows us to grow closer to God. We know he wrote. Here. We have a guard on believe a bull taken down after it's called and no more to call the new life change your life it's a challenge. Then it's all in thing here what what I'm what I'm gaining from taking from what you're saying is it's inexhaustible I mean this is it's beautiful these adjectives in different ways of understanding the cross that you're describing and I think if you were listening it started to show you probably were in Debbie you may remember me saying you know we talked about this the School of the cross sometimes the Latin term Scola crew chiefs the school of the cross I mean the cross isn't just wooden or metal or stone object that we put on a desk around a wall the cross is could be and really should be the greatest teacher Debbie that we have in our entire spiritual lives well this is Genesis figure that out Oh yes absolutely Again it's 8 thank you for for really thinking about you said you wrote 60 things last night probably when you saw the show title it prompted you to have all of these different thoughts that that when meditating or gazing upon the cross all of the all of the descriptions that you laid out for us yes yes and yes that's what happens with the cross all of these different feelings and thoughts well up inside of that and that is white what you just said Jerry the school of the craft we should spend time meditating upon the cross it should be definitely part of our regimen as Catholic Christians to get us more intimately connected with God and by you do. I get it I never thought of that exercise but I have to tell you that is absolutely brilliant and if I want to thank you because I hope others will take that time and do and try that you know look upon the cross and a look upon the crucifix I should say and you would get it did write down the initial thoughts and the feelings that that get well up inside of you and why Chad that that plays a part in your formation I think that is excellent Denis thank you for that Denis thank you very much for the call and I would just simply add that when we look upon pray over meditate on a crucifix we don't even have to have words you don't have to say anything the cross will speak to you the cross Jesus speaks to us from the cross and Dennis thanks again for sharing all that you did Cathy is next in Illinois listening to Take 2 with Jerry and Debbie on e.w.t.n. Dot com Hello Cathy thank you for your call welcome. Thank you. I really don't have a question and I have. Already had around. Every day I don't. Know how to change my life. I don't people come into the store and they ask about a maybe that's not a better it's a great way to. Get Kathie I said that at the beginning what a great conversation starter and a great way to witness absolutely say you owning a bookstore Kathy let me ask you this question so how many folks when they come into your store would you say just just roughly the would you say the majority are drawn to the crucifix or are they more drawn to the crime what is your what is your observation on that I'm just curious. If they are to. Get you there I think I think. They are and I don't think we should be are not counter it. Quite. Too many have a negative comment I have an. Odd because they don't. Want it or do we but I didn't want to remind people that. Again Aaron down. To. My page and I can. Read all scripture which you don't. Want to Scripture and integrate way we're going to I don't know why I don't write in my door a bad. Name and I generally married Magill I thought I did for all the credit. How long have you been operating the stormy we ask and here I want to live here good well there's a reason I asked and I don't need to tell you this but I want to impress upon all of our listeners if you have a Catholic bookstore gift shop in your area maybe it's connected to your parish maybe it's independent like Cathy has Please do what you can to support them because Kathy I'm sure it's not it's not an easy go in today's commerce or world of today's commerce I would bet that we've never taken a dime idea my partner and I together and never taken a dime out of a beggar I too am. Well Kathy stay in touch with us because if you've ever ever would like us to visit I mean I think will be fun to go out and I just said Jerry about a couple weeks ago I said it would be great to do the show on the occasion at a bookstore and isn't a day late night.

Gay and de mind I I went to the link that you sent you mind if I just read that real quick that reflection that I'm glad and reminded me of it. Yes This is Sister Christine in North Dakota wrote this it says This evening again as I worked on a personal care aides it did my heart good that was in quotes when I saw a crucifix hanging on the room of one of our ladies later I noticed this also in another room it was neat to see the simple faith of these people who don't necessarily strike me as terribly religious manifested in the simple gesture of having a crucifix it also serves as a reminder to me as well seeing a crucifix hanging in a bedroom or even in the resident dining. A room or employee lounge can be powerful in my experience I could be going about my day and may not be in the greatest of all moods seeing this representation of our Lord dying for us speaks to my soul reminding me of why I am doing what I am doing be it filling a pitcher with ice for a resident or whatever it really serves to get me back on the right track to rededicate myself to Our Lord service as I said hours earlier when making the morning offering before our office and that beautiful Debbie Wow Sister thank you for the work that you do my mom's in an assisted living in it's just a just a beautiful.

App on your smartphone I always listen to Father Benedick or shall because he went to my elementary school St Aloysius hall the New Jersey Yes Isn't it cool I just think that's so fascinating that's my claim to fame there. Ok Ellen you have been waiting patiently in Indiana welcome to take 2 with Jerry and Debbie. Hi Allen. Hi sweetie. 10 things one thing I want to respect is very positive. When I put a crucifix up in our house and the kid says I said to them Do you know why I do that and they said no I said well we invade Jesus into our home in the hopes that when we die he will invite us into his home nice Isn't that wonderful that came from nowhere sweetheart I never thought of that the only thing I want to say is I'm doing the crucifix when they're told that the rope was scared came off but then they took that rock back and they put that on an unsecure the cross and every time he tried to breed on the cross he had to lift himself up on his feet to breathe and he had a rug that was back on that rough cross. And I think that Mark and then anything else about the crucifixion I know the hands are a mess I know so many wonderful things but been said and I agree with with you about you know when you think maybe one less sin but I often tendre how his drawback was being rubbed on that terrible would. Yeah I think it was it was I think the closest I've ever seen Allan to a depiction of this was the passion of the Christ movie by Mel Gibson and you know I think there is there's a reason why when we see most crucifix we don't really see this as graphic as it certainly was and you're pointing that out I think in a very beautiful way and I don't I think there's a reason for that I mean artistically probably don't want to make it look as gruesome as as it was but we need to recall that yes this was this was they they were brutal they they they and they were if it was going in a movie that was like the demons were like driving the torturers right like to just really you know go way above and beyond what they would have normally even done to somebody when they were you know scourging and then crucified but yeah well maybe I need to remember that. Crack I don't. Want to the thing that has struck make him think it late but it's. There's so much more than just him. There is so many gruesome details so much pain. And holy name Amen amen Alan is that we live in a world where no where folks just don't want to deal with quote unquote depressing thoughts or images but but the critics is not at all depressing for us it is it is the sign of the greatest love and that's what I would yeah and you translated it so beautifully you spoke about its ability to flee as you said as you put the Christian take that in your home and shared with your children that it's something to look forward to that God will welcome us into into his home Ellen way to go you don't eat your great mom and I just I love the way you you greeted well you greeted me you called me sweetie and I just made my day said thank you so much every once in a while call back and do that again Jerry never does that for me. Thanks Alan thanks yet Thank you Allan appreciate that well I'm sure Marty does Debbie says when Mario . Yes weedy and honey and he handed yet honey honey is that is that Ok that's his pet name yes but I love that I just made my day Ellen that was sweet I was sweet thanks Reg is going to be a reckoning on your right after Denise Denise is in Denver listening on Denver Catholic Radio Hi Denise welcome to take 2 with Jerry and Debbie and hello hi Denise. How are you when I want to thank you for taking my call me and that had been bad it might be going but I look at the I mean I'm going I and it led me when my mother went that. It may linger whole she asked me what can I put your name on and I think the crew I think it was my grandmother it's absolutely huge and we beautiful in a tangle that my dad but I heard a little prayer one time and I failed all the time and I do what I will and I think we're head but the people who play everything I think they can act of love if you I do and I will I quit what. They everything I like to be an act of love. I do what I will and I think quick. And true and every step I take today be an act of love you go and I will. And crew and repeated my hot day. And you. Think everything I've got it all. But it when I go in prayer I look. So did I see what. Do you do you remember Father public Streib is the name familiar to you. Ok he was he was a priest. Later on e.w.t.n. Television and radio he passed away in 2013 God rest his soul but he was just he was beautiful because he I believe it was Redemptorist priest but Debbie do you remember he used everywhere he went he carried a crucifix with him not not a little palm sized crucifix he would typically have one about you know 12 inches he would get on airplanes with that thing and everywhere he went and he just I'm sure used it both as a reminder from self and also as a testimony for others yeah yeah just talking about being a Christian witness Wow that that was just an amazing Well you shared add anything I never thought of it to gaze upon the ice that is very interesting and it's interesting I just it it dawned on me because I actually have a crown of thorns prints that I actually have if you're on You Tube or Facebook you can see it and the eye is what I focus on on this particular print but that's very true because they are the eyes and speaks volumes and I can see why you're drawn to that any Thank you for sharing with us very well thank you oh I love it I probably ought to write it and you know Thanks Denise call any time place Ok go on over to Cleveland the rock is where Rick is listening to eat a b.t.n. Radio and take 2 with Jerry and Debbie Hi Rick good to have you with us. Very very are you doing doing well Rick thanks. And they are on the replay. Of the way. The chance to call to. Share a little bit kind of look it's really really. Since my daughter. Had a car. Discussion about the crucifix and it was. I don't know I remember going someplace I read it. Old. That. Little of the serpent so I should be looked up to. Well. You know. Oh. Look there. Are you. Rick we got a I don't know why you're cutting in and out there a little bit I add apologize for that I don't know who's in that might be on hold on there for just maybe we'll get you back a little more clearly but. Here's again another great connection that Rick is making to the serpent that Moses put on the pole and and you know and again you know I mean the serpent is in it it was what was killing the people you know the bites from the serpents and all of that and that actually turned out to be the remedy and what are we what is in the Bible you know Jesus became sin for us so similarly you know it was sin that caused our death and yet Jesus took all of that upon himself and if we look if we gaze up at him and keep our eyes fixed on him he is the remedy for that so it's beautiful great connection right absolutely and break I was so glad to see that you called in from from Cleveland at the rock station I'm going to be there for your pledge drive October 11th to the 13th so I look forward to it so very much you've got a vibrant station and I'm hoping that we have a very successful pledge drive and Dan and I just think it's going to be a wonderful experience but it what you had to say and I think we got you back on and I hope it comes in a little clearer what you have to say how how do you. Get your daughter became a pen a council is that what she said Yeah that's right yeah are you are you having these open discussions with her or is it. Kind of. It's kind of a we're going to agree to disagree and go on for a while we might discuss or. I don't know what I know what to. Say what are so you know we just got our you know if you are going anywhere we have a good relationship with each other. You know I was going to leave it at that I'm sure I'm sure the Lord will you know. No one you know whenever. I think Rick the thing to ensure there's disappointment in this because obviously the Eucharist is where we want all people to be and especially your daughter but I think there is also reason to be hopeful because it I would presume we don't know the details and we're running short on time here but you know it's probably because she's looking she's looking for a deep meaningful relationship with Jesus maybe maybe what she learned about the Eucharist you know she didn't it didn't take as deep a route as maybe it could have and will have a of will at some point but and I think you should and I know you're taking hope I hope you're taking hope that you know she she hasn't left Christ and she hasn't you know stopped believing hopefully that it is even going to be a little bit of a detour that is going to bring her back more fervently and robustly to a practice a Catholic faith I know that's what you're praying for Rex thanks so much for the call we appreciate that and Debbie here we are we had a lot of people on the line that I just wish we were going to have time for yeah thanks again Rex really not tell her at the rock tell all the folks there I said hello I can't wait to be with you in October model Laura Lena and Mary and Faustina and the others and everybody on Facebook and Youtube commenting we're sorry we couldn't get here we just ran out of time we need more time Jerry create more time . Well I would love to do that and we got a lot of people commented on on social media and he. Mail Sandra thank you for your email we appreciate that and others to tomorrow we are going to be. a beautiful place. This is by the way Richard host of The Open Line Thursday have a safe and bless it Labor Day weekend from all of us into b a t n Radio Al Quest to talk to professional philosophers they're not relative philosophically the relativism can't be justified people sacrifice objective truth objective morality on the altar of personal liberty and risk in pursuit of what I want to do I will say something to me that's just your opinion to stay in the afternoon weekdays at 4 pm Eastern On w t n radio. The w c live Truth live carefully down catechism wisdom with me regular n.t. And father Larry. Larry Church talks a lot about Cherry right let me read you something that the catechism says Section 2447 the works of mercy are charitable actions by which we come to be 8 of our neighbor in his spiritual and bodily necessities instructing advising consoling. Comforting our spiritual works of mercy my profession saddens that we need to have people meet our needs and what this here seems to be able little I don't want to say antagonistic but maybe contrary to that the way the world says may mean me the way of God says You you you and when we sit there and we focus on the reality it's in giving away your life Jesus says you find life that is so anti-world isn't it I serve to feel better exactly that that's where we get everything that it's in giving away your life that you find life that's the cross that's the way of Christianity contrary to conventional wisdom Yes and that's the point. Well men have been there that young are you. Catechism what springs up having learned the conventional wisdom absolutely Jesus comes and changes the world and turns the world upside down and says you want lines and you give away life and it's in that that we find through life it's in serving that we become more fully who we are as gone left heaven if you will became a man and gave his life for us and we do the same just as he found eternal life in His humanity so we a life of self is a wasted life God says I'll take care number one you take care bodies and when you give away and you live a life of service that's when you're going to find life so others are number one got it I have a thing it says that Jesus various other 2nd yourself last the life of joy it's the exact opposite of what the world says but in Him you do that you will have a joyful life. Psychological correctness is ruining parents. What is psychological. If any idea that says if you just say the right words the right line is in the right reinforcement schedule. Implementing the right message nobody will say mother. Just. The parity you describe it. Psychological correctness is a quagmire. It leads to an analysis paralysis over thinking over analyzing over talking under enjoy. Psychological correctness essentially makes parents search for the ways to do it better to ask how well is this working in my family with my children and I'm more. Christ is the answer but bother John Ricardo John Chapter 11 persons 2126 this is the story of Lazarus Lazarus has died Lazarus is one of his best friends just before this passage we hear the news that matter marries and wanted to Jesus that the one you love is sick and the next one in the scripture is now because Jesus loved Martha and Mary analyzers stayed where he was spends and needed can heal they've seen him heal before and yet somehow because he loves him he stands and Lazarus to die and then Jesus shows up 3 days later and is created by Mark and Mary will confront him with the words Lord if you had ben here my brother would never have died rather attackable for many of us in our lives we ask the Lord to do one thing because we're certain it is what we think is best when in fact he has something which far surpasses what we ask for challenges in waiting for that to happen we go through a very trying times which oftentimes makes us wonder does he really care.
