Episode 159: Why Holiness is the Foundation for Mission

From lord to Lord!

In this episode, Fr. John Riccardo unpacks the context of today’s Reading from the Acts of the Apostles and invites us to turn the world upside down as St. Paul did.<a rel="payment" href="https://www.actsxxix.org/give">Support You Were Born for This with Fr. John Riccardo</a>

Episode 59: Be Not Afraid: The Re-creation of the World Has Begun

Paul reminds us in another letter that this laying down of Jesus’ life wasn’t some generic sacrifice offered up by the Creator of the universe but rather was a personal act of love for him, Paul, by name. “I have been crucified with Christ,” Paul writes to the Galatians. “It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me” (Galatians 2:20).

In this episode, in light of the Feast of the Holy Family, Fr. John and Mary talk honestly about family—the blessings, the wounds, and the ache many carry into holidays and gatherings. Looking at Jesus’ own family life in the Gospels, we discover that the Holy Family is bigger than we think, and that Jesus understands the complexity of our relationships, offering us hope and consolation.

In this episode, Fr. John and Mary bring their three-part series on their apostolic values to a close by talking about the importance of being docile to the Holy Spirit and choosing to sail instead of row on mission. They reflect on what it means to let go of control, allowing the Spirit to set the course, trusting His power over our own efforts.

Episode 341: The Power and Attraction of How We Do What We Do, Part Three

Por qué todo está tan obviamente desordenado? El enemigo es el enemigo. El capítulo tres arroja luz sobre por qué las cosas no son como deberían ser, e identifica al único enemigo de la raza humana.

“La visión de estas criaturas felices llenó al diablo y a sus ángeles caídos de ira y envidia. Pensaron en cómo podrían arruinar la obra de Dios y destruir el destino de esta raza recién creada. Se dispusieron a esclavizar a aquellos a quienes habían estado destinados a servir y a degradar a aquellos a quienes se les había asignado un lugar tan exaltado en el limo humilde bajo sus pies”. – Sophia Consulting, La narrativa cósmica cristiana

C3 - El Enemigo es el enemigo

We in ACTS XXIX would gently like to suggest, however, that it is not enough in these days in which we are living to simply be pilgrims of hope. We must also be heralds of hope. We live in the midst of a world that is riddled by fear, division, anger, depression, despair and so much more. As disciples of Jesus, that is, as men and women who have encountered Someone who has entirely changed our lives, who has brought us from darkness to light, we are called to proclaim to those with whom we work, study, play, and live that life is not in vain, that there is a God, and that He is good and knows what He is doing.&nbsp;

Episode 198: The Importance of Praise

Jesus has never said that our life should be a desert journey. If we understand the Christian life in this way, it should not surprise us that many turn their backs on the Church and Christianity and just go on to other traditions that promise peace, joy, and a full life. This is a reaction, not against Christianity, but against a type of Christianity that has lost its authenticity.

Episode 18: The Experience of Faith

Chapter Four helps us to understand what the dire predicament every single human person is in and why we need someone to rescue us.

“The controlling metaphor of this section is slavery and freedom. Paul paints a black-or- white picture of the human situation: either one lives in service to sin and remains in spiritual bondage, or one lives in obedience to God and enjoys liberation from sin’s captivity. It is a stark either-or: no fence-sitting, no third option.”
– Dr. Scott Hahn, Commentary on Romans

Ch 4 - It gets worse

Chapter Seven reminds us that as important as a compelling argument can be, there is something — Someone — necessary to move me to surrender.

“It is the Holy Spirit, therefore, who instills the sentiment of divine sonship into the heart, who makes us feel (not just know!) that we are children of God. The Spirit himself joins with our spirit to bear witness that we are children of God (Rom 8:16). This fundamental work of the Holy Spirit sometimes takes places in a sudden and intense way in the life of a person … On the occasion of a retreat…or on the occasion of prayer for a new releasing of the Spirit the soul is filled with a new light in which God reveals himself in a way as Father. … A feeling of great trust and confidence and a completely new sense of the condescension of God are experienced. At other times, instead, this revelation of the Father is accompanied by such a strong feeling of God’s majesty and transcendence that the soul is overwhelmed.”
– Raniero Cantalamessa, Life in the Lordship of Christ

Episode 339:  The Power and Attraction of How We Do What We Do

Over the past five years now, the Lord has been teaching us in ACTS XXIX some simple ways to return to what Cardinal Cantalamessa reminds us was the common modus operandi for the saints.

Episode 82: A Way to Understand the Will of the Lord

C4 - A Oração e O Retiro

The saints knew that God had entrusted to them a mission in this life, a mission to both evangelize and go about the work of recreation and transformation of this world that He loves until Jesus returns and makes all things new. And while all the saints wrestled with sin (save our Lady), they eventually surrendered to His grace and became the true heroes of our race...

Episode 90: The Scrutinizing Power of the Word

Why is everything so obviously messed up? Chapter Three shines light on why things are not as they should be, and identifies the one and only enemy of the human race.

“The sight of these happy creatures filled the devil and his fallen angels with anger and envy. They took thought as to how they might mar the work of God and destroy the destiny of this newly created race. They set about to enslave those whom they had been meant to serve and to degrade those who had been assigned such an exalted place into the lowly slime beneath their feet.”

Episode 292: Lord, Who Do You Say That I Am? - Part 1 of 4

The Church is supposed to be a sign of unity and communion for the world, the means by which the human race, scattered by sin and more, is not only reconciled to God but to each other. In fact, nothing else can accomplish this end, so desperately needed right now in a culture and world that is so prone to demonize “the other.” When Pope Leo says that the Church is to be “a small leaven…within the world” he means that disciples are supposed to interact with and touch the world, just as leaven interacts and touches the dough, making the world “rise” and become more genuinely human.
