Ignatian Meditation: You meeting the Christ Child
This is the second half of an Advent mission that I gave tonight in Louisiana before the exposed Blessed Sacrament. It is a led meditation of discursive mental prayer that I gave improv, but it is given according to the style of St. Ignatius and St. Teresa of Avila. This recording is one of my only podcasts that I would suggest doing in a quiet place for the sake of the prayer required. It is the type of prayer that changed the life of St. Francis Xavier when he was led in this personal way by St. Ignatius of Loyola, over 500 years ago.

Were the Apostles Buffoons before Pentecost?
I must admit that there is something attractive and even accurate to the thesis that the Apostles were buffoons before they had the full transformation that happened at Pentecost. First, Mother Angelica points out that they never seemed to catch anything on their own even as fishermen! "Jesus chose a bunch of stinky fishermen" she reminds us as to why God chose someone like her to be a cloistered-evangelist to the nations in founding EWTN. We have Christ's disciples' obvious sins, like Peter's threefold denial of Jesus. And yet, after the Resurrection, Jesus does not say "Peter, about denying me three nights ago...You can still remain my disciple, but I'm going to have [...]

1st Sunday of Advent: Tithing
Advent is a mini-Lent, and part of this is fasting, prayer and almsgiving. We will see how St. Thomas Aquinas teaches that tithing needs to be reached before almsgiving is assessed by the Christian.

The Last Sunday and the Last Day on Earth
This podcast is not based on private revelation but rather the things that the Bible and the Catechism say must come at the end of time: The Great Tribulation and Apostasy, the Anti-Christ versus the Restrainer. At the final end we see the second coming of Jesus Christ, the Final Judgment, the destruction of earth and the Resurrection of the Body. Finally, we will see the New Heavens and the New Earth.

Why Did Jesus Really Have to Die For Us?
This is the same as my podcast but in video form. Also, the audio did not include the Question and Answer period at the end. This video on YouTube includes it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GP_ZFKwW-A
