Running Rescue

¿Qué se supone que debemos hacer con nuestras vidas en este momento? El capítulo nueve abre 6 respuestas a esta pregunta.
 
“En el drama de alto riesgo que nos rodea, a cada uno de nosotros se nos ha dado un papel que desempeñar, uno que lleva nuestro nombre y el de nadie más. Cada uno de nosotros tiene la misericordia de Dios para recibir, un yo condenado a muerte, un Reino que ganar, una batalla que luchar y enemigos espirituales que matar, camaradas que ayudar, rebeldes que conquistar…. La antigua batalla se libra a nuestro alrededor, y la aventura para la que nacimos nos llama”. – Sophia Consulting, La narrativa cósmica cristiana

Episode 44: Be Not Afraid: What Does a Priest Do?

This “love thing” must be pretty important!

In this episode, Fr. John unpacks the many dimensions of love and exhorts us to experience God’s love through prayer before the Eucharist and the Word of God and to share it with others.<a rel="payment" href="https://www.actsxxix.org/give">Support You Were Born for This with Fr. John Riccardo</a>

Episode 64: Be Not Afraid: It’s Always About Love

We frequently hold up St. Joan of Arc as an example of magnanimity. Her famous words – “I am not afraid. God is with me. I was born for this!” – are not proud, arrogant or boastful words; they’re words that flow from a greatness of soul...

Episode 87: Selfish Ambition Versus Magnanimity

Emmanuel doesn’t merely mean “God is with us,” as in “God is in our midst.” It means, “God is on our side.” He has come for us. Because for some unimaginable and unexplainable reason, the Creator of all that is is passionately in love with us! May the Holy Spirit overwhelm us anew in these holy days we are about to enter.

I would argue that at the root of every temptation is the accusation that God is not a good Father and He cannot be trusted.

Episode 45: Jesus’ One Homily

Each day, the Church puts before us a veritable feast not only in the Scriptures chosen for Mass but in the antiphons and prayers as well. Truth be told, the appetizers are so good that sometimes I never make it to the main course.

Episode 386: One of the Ways Scripture is Useful

Paul is for me the best example of a man whose psychology caught up with his ontology when he wrote, “For me, life is Christ and death is gain” (Phil 1:21). Gain! In other words, so long as we live, we will do so for the glory of God and the good of our neighbor. But death need not frighten us. It has no power over us. What’s up head is infinitely greater than all that is behind.

Episode 105: Playing Catch Up

There is a favorite icon of the Eastern Church known as the anastasis. Anastasis is the Greek word for resurrection. Icons, we might remember, aren’t paintings. Rather, they are “written” to be something like windows into the mysteries they are depicting. Placing ourselves in front of them, asking the Holy Spirit to come to us, can draw us into whatever it is that is placed before our senses.

Episode 35: Fill In The Blank

We turn our gaze to Jesus and ask, “Was he simply a wise, kind, and good man – or did He come to rescue us from powers against which we could never compete on our own?”

“Lord God Almighty, who sent your Only Begotten Son to endow humankind, imprisoned in slavery to Sin, with the freedom of Your sons and daughters, we pray most humbly for these children, whom you know will experience the allurements of this world, and will fight against the snares of the devil: by the power of the Passion and Resurrection of your Son deliver them now from the stain of Original Sin, strengthen them with the grace of Christ, and guard them always on their journey through life.” – Baptismal Ritual of the Catholic Church

Ch 5 - What if anything has God done about it?

In our opening keynote, Fr. John gathers us and preaches a word from our Lord Jesus; encouraging us to behold the communion of saints, our Lord Jesus, and our Father Who runs to us!

Among the many graces of our time together and with the Lord at The Jesus Conference was the profound and tangible nearness of those heroic men and women who have gone before us and now surround us like a raucous crowd in a football stadium. They were chosen for their time and we were chosen for this time. And so how fitting that we release the opening night&rsquo;s reflection on this Solemnity of All Saints! May their prayers and example, and above all the grace of our Lord Jesus, encourage and inspire us to carry on the mission the Lord has entrusted to us.

Gather Round: A Word from Jesus, Our King & Brother

November is a month that the Church has, from ancient times, set aside to pray for all of the dead and to ponder our own death. Pondering our own death is to think about that real day when we will stand before the Lord and render an account to Him of what we did with our lives, how we spoke, acted — and failed to act (cf. Matthew 25:31-46; Rev 20:12-3). We all desire to hear the Lord say those most extraordinary words to us, “Well done! Good and faithful servant! Enter into the joy of your Master!” (Matthew 25:21).

Episode 181: What Will It Be Like?

The enemy is forever trying to intimidate. He whispers lies into our minds that are variations on this theme: “You’re all alone. You’re outnumbered. You’re undermanned. You don’t have a chance.” But he is a liar. The truth is, we are anything but alone. And not only are we not alone, we are part of a communion that exceeds all we can comprehend.&nbsp;
