Believe the Impossible and You Can Do the Incredible - Archbishop Fulton Sheen

Archbishop Fulton Sheen talks about why we need to change our indifference and apathy, and transform it in faith and energy, so you can see impossible things can be done.

So you see how important it is to having in the mind an idea to do all that you can, to work to the limit of your ability. Our world is really suffering from indifference; indifference is apathy, not caring. Maybe if our Lord does not suffer more from our indifference than he did in the crucifixion.

Matthew 14:28-32. And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.

Theology of the Body in 7 Sessions – Father Tom Elliott

Father Tom Elliot put together a seven part series on the theology of the body by Saint John Paul II. This Theology of the Body series is made especially for teens and young people, but a tremendous amount of adults whom haven’t yet been exposed to this theology whom might really benefit from it.

In order to understand the phrase “theology of the body,” we need to understand the word, “Theology.” It comes from two Greek words:
1. “Theos,” which is the Greek for “God,” and
2. “Logos,” which means the “treating of” or “study of”

So, “theology” is the study of God or a “Godly study.” Saint John Paul II wrote the “theology of the body” as primarily a “Godly study” of the human body and human sexuality thru the lenses od Scripture and faith.

Note: The word, “body,” can mistakenly make us think that we are about to learn physiology, but in reality, it is about relationship!

The “theology of the Body” is the Biblical and Catholic vision of what it means to be a human person, made in the image and likeness of God.

The Catholic Mass Explained - Archbishop Fulton Sheen

In this lesson Archbishop Fulton Sheen is going to describe the Mass in terms of three of its principal parts: the offertory, the consecration and the communion.

A great American patriot once said that he regretted he had only one life to give for his country, he meant that his love was greater than his sacrifice, if his life could be given only once in time and therefore could not be repeated. It is very different with the life of our Lord, where the life was given once and it is eternally given and it is eternally and repeated in the sacrifice of the mass...

The Life of Mary As Seen By the Mystics - Raphael Brown - Audiobook

The Life of Mary As Seen By the Mystics by Raphael Brown (Author): is a masterpiece that combines the visions of four great Catholic mystics into one coherent story on the life of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Based primarily on the famous revelations of Ven. Anne Catherine Emmerich and Ven. Mary of Agreda, it also includes many episodes described in the writings of St. Bridget of Sweden and St. Elizabeth of Schenau. To read this book, therefore, is to share in the magnificent visions granted to four of the most priviledged souls in the history of the Church.

In complete harmony with the Gospel story, this book reads like a masterfully written novel. It includes such fascinating details as the birth and infancy of Mary, her espousal to St. Joseph and her Assumption into Heaven where she was crowned Queen of Heaven and Earth.

'So great a love on the part of Mary deserves our gratitude, and that gratitude should be shown by at least meditating upon and pitying her in her sorrow. But she complained to Saint Bridget that very few did so, and that the greater part of the world lived in forgetfulness of them: "I look around at all who are on earth, to see if by chance there are any who pity me, and meditate upon my sorrows; and I find that there are very few. Therefore, my daughter, though I am forgotten by many, at least do thou not forget me; consider my anguish, and imitate, as far as thou canst, my grief."' -St. Alphonsus Maria de Liguori.

For young and old alike, The Life of Mary As Seen by the Mystics will forever impress the reader with an inspiring and truly unforgettable understanding of the otherwise unknown facts concerning Mary and the Holy Family.

True Devotion to Mary - Saint Louis de Montfort - Audiobook

Listen to audio book "True Devotion to Mary" of San Louis de Montfort, a classic book of the Catholic Mariology.

Written in 1712, the manuscript remained practically unknown for more than a century, when it was discovered by chance in 1842, at the Motherhouse of the Missionaries of the Company of Mary at St. Laurent-sur-Sèvre, France. Published in 1843, the work became an instant success. It was first translated into English by Father William Faber. The book complements de Montfort's other works the Secret of the Rosary and the Secret of Mary.

True Devotion to Mary attracted attention in the 20th century when in an address to the Montfort Fathers, Pope John Paul II said that reading this book had been a "decisive turning point" in his life. According to his Apostolic Letter Rosarium Virginis Mariae he borrowed his apostolic motto Totus Tuus from the book. In his 1987 encyclopedia, Redemptoris Mater the Pope cited Saint Louis Marie Grignion de Montfort as a teacher of Marian spirituality.

INTRODUCTION OF SAINT LOUIS MARY DE MONTFORT

1. It was through the Blessed Virgin Mary that Jesus came into the world, and it is also through her that he must reign in the world.

2. Because Mary remained hidden during her life she is called by the Holy Spirit and the Church "Alma Mater", Mother hidden and unknown. So great was her humility that she desired nothing more upon earth than to remain unknown to herself and to others, and to be known only to God.

3. In answer to her prayers to remain hidden, poor and lowly, God was pleased to conceal her from nearly every other human creature in her conception, her birth, her life, her mysteries, her resurrection and assumption. Her own parents did not really know her; and the angels would often ask one another, "Who can she possibly be?", for God had hidden her from them, or if he did reveal anything to them, it was nothing compared with what he withheld...

Bring Family and Friends back into the Catholic Church - Patrick Madrid

Patrick Madrid speaks on How do we help people to overcome the different things in life that have blocked them from either stay close to Jesus and the Church or ever find him at all?

1 Peter 3:15-16 but in your hearts reverence Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to make a defense to any one who calls you to account for the hope that is in you, yet do it with gentleness and reverence; (16) and keep your conscience clear, so that, when you are abused, those who revile your good behavior in Christ may be put to shame.
