The Spiritual Combat - Ch. 45-52 & 59

Ever-effervescent. No chance for that hoped-for brevity. Suggestions not requirements. Fundaments. 1. Yes. 2. No. 3. Not at this time. Those are the three answers to prayer. Garth Brooks? Weird Al? Petitionary prayer is good, but we ALSO need meditation; and we have to know what we’re meditating on. The Passion of the Christ. Resurrection people, yes; but you can’t get there without going through Good Friday. The Prodigal Son? How about his big brother? Yeah. Sensible devotion and dryness. A segue, nailed. The artifices of the devil. That’s cuz you’re so SMART. Suh-Mart. Smart. It was almost like, well… like a supernatural event. Heh. Set aside any notion of consolation. A divided heart. Loving ourselves through God… the Tony Robbins Prayer Plan - NOT. Hilarity ensued. Click to Listen!

vox populi

If someone is able to deeply and “profoundly” impact 60 people…that likely translates to 60 families that are deeply and profoundly impacted for generations to come. That is a much more meaningful contribution than providing a sixty second sound bite for a million people. - Jim in Columbus, commenting on Daily Breakfast #478

You can’t really know all the people you’re touching that are reading your blog or listening to your podcasts, can you? - Adrianne, commenting on Daily Breakfast #478

vox populi

I discovered SQPN through The Secrets of Harry Potter and have become a faithful listener to all of the different shows. I just love to hear about how our faith is present in all aspects of life, especially my beloved books. Thank you for all of the hard work that you put into giving us ways of strengthen our faith. - Blanca, commenting on Secrets of Harry Potter


catéchic

Remember, I asked you about this,

  • What does Ora et Labora mean? And who’s it associated with?
  • What’s the official cathedral of the Bishop of Rome?
    • Saint John Lateran
  • Why is Giovanni Battista Montini so famous?
