A highlight from IDL84 Part 3 Chapter 40 Introduction to the Devout Life by St. Francis de Sales Discerning Hearts Podcast
"Part 3 Chapter 40 of the Introduction to the Devout Life by St. Francis de Sales. This is a Discerning Hearts recording read by Corey Webb. Chapter 40 Councils to Widows Saint Paul teaches us all in the person of Saint Timothy when he says, Honor widows that are widows indeed. Now to be a widow indeed it is necessary, one, that the widow be not in body only but in heart also. That is to say, that she be fixed in an unalterable resolution to continue in her widowhood. Those widows who are but waiting the opportunity of marrying again are only widowed in externals, while in, will they have already laid aside their loneliness. If the widow indeed chooses to confirm her widowhood, by offering herself by a vow to God, she will adorn that widowhood, and make her resolution doubly sure. For the remembrance that she cannot break her vow without danger of forfeiting paradise, will make her so watchful over herself, that a great barrier will be raised against all kind of temptation that may assail her. Saint Augustine strongly recommends Christian widows to take this vow, and the learned Oregon goes yet further. For he advises married women to take a vow of chastity in the event of losing their husbands, so that amid the joys of married life they may yet have a share in the merits of a chaste widowhood. Vows render the actions performed under their shelter more acceptable to God, strengthen us to perform good works and help us to devote Him, not merely those good works which are, so to say, the fruits of a holy will, but to consecrate that will itself, the source of all we do, to Him. By ordinary chastity we offer our body to God, retaining the power to return to sensual pleasure, but the vow of chastity is an absolute and irrevocable gift to Him, without any power to recall it, thereby making ourselves the happy slaves of Him, whose service is to be preferred to royal power. And as I greatly approve the counsels of the two venerable fathers I have named, I would have such persons as are so favored, as to wish to embrace them, do so prudently, and in a holy steadfast spirit, after careful examination of their own courage, having asked heavenly guidance, and taken the advice of some discreet and pious director, and then all will be profitably done. Two, further all such renunciation of second marriage must be done with a single heart, in order to fix the affections more entirely on God, and to seek a more complete union with Him. For if the widow retains her widowhood merely to enrich her children, or for any other worldly motive, she may receive the praise of men, but not that of God, inasmuch as nothing is worthy of his approbation, save that which is done for his sake. Moreover, she who would be a widow indeed must be voluntarily cut off from all worldly delights. She that lives in pleasure is dead while she lives, Saint Paul says. A widow who seeks to be admired and followed and flattered, who frequently balls in parties, who takes pleasure in dressing, perfuming, and adorning herself, may be a widow in the body, but she is dead as to the soul. What does it matter, I pray you, whether the flag of Adonis and his profane love be made of white feathers or a net of crepe? Nay, sometimes there is a conscious vanity, in that black is the most becoming dress, and she who thereby endeavors to captivate men, and who lives in empty pleasure, is dead while she lives, and is a mere mockery of widowhood. The time of retrenchment is come, the voice of the turtle is heard in our land. Retrenchment of worldly superfluity is required of whosoever would lead a devout life, but above all, it is needful for the widow indeed, who mourns the loss of her husband like a true turtledove. When Naomi returned from Moab to Bethlehem, those that had known her in her earlier and brighter days were moved, and said, Is this Naomi? And she said unto them, Call me not Naomi, which means beautiful and agreeable, call me Mara, for the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly with me. I went out full, and the Lord hath brought me home again empty. Even so the devout widow will not desire to be called or counted beautiful or agreeable, asking no more than to be that which God wills, lowly and abject in his eyes. The lamp which is fed with aromatic oil sends forth yet a sweeter odor when it is extinguished, and so those women whose married love was true and pure give it a stronger perfume of virtue and chastity, when their light, that is, their husband, is extinguished by death. Love for a husband while living is a common matter enough among women, but to love him so deeply as to refuse to take another after his death is a kind of love peculiar to her, who is a widow indeed. Hope in God while resting on a husband is not so rare, but to hope in him when left alone and desolate is a very gracious and worthy thing, and thus it is that widowhood becomes a test of the perfection of the virtues displayed by a woman in her married life. The widow who has children requiring her care and guidance above all in what pertains to their souls and the shaping of their lives, cannot and ought not on any wise to forsake them. Saint Paul teaches this emphatically and says that those who provide not for their own and specially for those of their own house are worse than an infidel, but if her children do not need her care, then the widow should gather together all her affections and thoughts in order to devote them more wholly to making progress in the love of God. If there is no call obliging her in conscience to attend to external secular matters, legal or other, I should advise her to leave them all alone and to manage her affairs as quietly and peacefully as may be, even if such a course does not seem the most profitable. The fruit of disputes and lawsuits must be very great indeed before it can be compared in worth to the blessing of holy peace. Not to say that those legal entanglements and the like are essentially distracting, and often open the way for enemies who solely the purity of a heart which should be solely devoted to God. Prayer should be the widow's chief occupation. She has no love left save for God. She should scarce have aught to say to any, save God. And as iron, which is restrained from yielding to the attraction of the magnet, when a diamond is near, darts instantly towards it as soon as the diamond is removed. So the widow's heart, which could not rise up wholly to God or simply follow the leadings of his heavenly love during her husband's life, finds itself set free when he is dead to give itself entirely to him, and cries out with bride and the canticles, Draw me, I will run after thee, I will be holy thine, and seek nothing, save the savior of thy good ointments. A devout widow should chiefly seek to cultivate the graces of perfect modesty, renouncing all honors, rank, title, society, and the like vanities. She should be diligent in ministering to the poor and sick, comforting the afflicted, leading the young to a life of devotion, studying herself to be a perfect model of virtue to younger women. Necessity and simplicity should be the adornment of her garb, humility and charity of her actions, simplicity and kindliness of her words, modesty and purity of her eyes. Jesus Christ crucified the only love of her heart. Briefly, the true widow abides in the church as a little March violet, shedding forth an exquisite sweetness through the perfume of her devotion, ever concealing herself beneath the ample leaves of her heart's lowliness. While her subdued coloring indicates her mortification, she dwells in waste uncultivated places, because she shrinks from the world's intercourse, and seeks to shelter her heart from the glare with which earthly longings, whether of honors, wealth, or love itself, might dazzle her. Blessed is she if she so abide, says the holy apostle. Much more could I say on this subject, but suffice it to bid her who seeks to be a widow indeed, read Saint Jerome's striking letters to Salvia, and the other noble ladies who rejoiced in being the spiritual children of such a father. Nothing can be said more, unless it be to warn the widow indeed not to condemn or even censure those who do resume the married.

A highlight from Episode 11 The Drama of Atheist Humanism Fr. Joseph Fessio S.J., Vivian Dudro, and Joseph Pearce FBC Podcast
"Welcome, and welcome back to the Forum Book Club, with Vivian Deutero, myself Father Fesser, and Joseph Pierce continuing to discuss Henri Robach's classic, modern classic, the drama of A .K. Schumann. The last session we actually finished on the end of the chapter. Let's see what we can do this time as we begin chapter three, Positivist Transpositions. The previous chapter was about the alliance that he sought with the Catholic Church as an instrument of promoting the final status of civilization, namely the positivist order. So let's see how the transpositions take place. Joseph? Well, yes, at the top of page 12 and 16, again, I like there's an irony, a role irony, I think, in Henri de Lubac's voice here. He says, then, speaking of Comte, then the new Aristotle, so the philosopher, had changed into a new Saint Paul, so basically a religious zealot, in order to complete the edifice. Quote, I have systematically devoted my life, he says, in the systeme de politicians positif, to making real science ultimately provide the necessary basis for the sound philosophy, according to which I should then build up the true religion. So we have the evolution here. Real science leads to sound philosophy, which leads to true religion. This is where this positivism is going. And I would like to back up, if I may, to the very first page of the chapter, where de Lubac points out that this alliance that Comte wants to create to bring about his true religion was intended to be purely temporary. He thought it expedient because he no longer hoped that the triumph of his own church at any rate among the masses was as near as he had at first predicted. And I would just like to editorialize that every time people outside the church try to co -opt the church for their own purposes, for them, it's a temporary phase. You know, think about concordats with Mussolini or Hitler or any of these attempts to co -opt the church. Ultimately, the end is to destroy the church or replace it with this regime having total power. And so, thankfully, as we pointed out in the last chapter, de Lubac said this temptation will come again and again, but that it won't in the end. The church will, because of the Holy Spirit, will not be prevailed upon. But it's important to know that that temptation is a perennial temptation on the part of people seeking power to use the church and on the part of people inside the church to seek a legitimization on the part of the powers that be that want to use the church for their own ends. Yeah, but again, I do love, and this is such a, we might say, a dry topic, that I do like the Lubac's raw sense of humor. So even the first part of this, the true Catholicism, positivism through Catholicism. On page 219, three lines down, according to Kant, the new Catholicism is modeled on the old. The church had her sacraments. Skipping a couple of lines, positive has his rights to consecrations or social sacraments. And he says there are nine of these sacraments in positivism, including one that is received after death. That's an innovation. Right. Yes, he, so the transposition that's happening here is, you know, for everything that the Catholic Church offers its flock, he's going to transpose that with something of his own invention that resembles it, but is actually emptying it of all of its original meaning. Well, only these got out. Yeah, just these got out. No big deal, right? Including a liturgical calendar with saints, the cults of saints, prayers. All of this is spelled out in the next few pages of all the things he's going to make. It's sort of, as Lubac says, again, perhaps broadly, this process of incorporation after death, which may rather be compared with canonization. And in fact, it is, in fact, I think canonization, it's secular canonization. These people will be immortalized as heroes. It's going right back to paganism, right? You build statues of them all over the place. You put them on the calendar. And so, you know, if you're a good servant of the positivist religion, you will be immortal, not in the sense of going to heaven, but in the sense of being remembered and revered. Yeah, I'm going to jump way ahead to the conclusion of everything here. That's fine. Just one little sentence, 266 at the bottom, where the little box says here, Cohen's spiritual itinerary is that of man himself. Lost faith cannot long remain unreplaced. You know, you leave out God, something, some idol is going to take God's place. That's right. My father going right back 46 pages, you see it on the top of page 220. He's talking about that man becomes, quote, a veritable organ of the great being, capital G and capital B. I mean, what on earth is the great being if we're not allowed to believe in God? Is it Comte? Or if it's not Comte, is it humanity in some sense? Yes, it's humanity. The abstract deity, the great being. Yeah, yeah. That's I think, Chesson referred to that as similar to being on a crowded tram, as you would say, humanity. Amorphous mass all around you. I have something on page 229. Anybody before that? Let's go for it. Like the last part of that paragraph at the top. Apart from all questions of doctrine, this is Judelbach speaking. One cannot take seriously the musings of a man who never understood a word of the gospel and who sank deeper every day into the monstrous egocentricity. The crude and lacrimose consolations to which Comte innocently abandoned himself in his sanctuary cannot be taken for genuine spirituality. Telling it out how it is, basically, that's somewhere at the end. This is a madman, egocentric, narcissistic madman. And here's the Judelbach exercising that discernment that he says needs to be when we're dealing with these intellectual systems or ideologies, there's an intellectual discernment you have to go through and think about it. But then there's the spiritual discernment, right? That's what he said in the previous part of this book with respect to you. If we can go back perhaps to 224, just a footnote there, because this, I think, is very interesting and it has this wonderful phrase moral eunuch. This is somebody writing about Comte in a pejorative way, in a negative way, I should say. Comte is a man whom the exclusive culture of scientific ideas has reduced to a true degradation. He is a moral eunuch, all feeling, all poetry, which is to say, all manifestation of feeling is something he has completely disregarded or rather that is completely unknown to him. And now this whole different moral eunuch, not only is it a good phrase, a powerful poetic phrase, but it's really, I think, also a description of many of the worst psychopaths, right? Is that they actually have no moral compass. They have no moral feeling, no moral emotion. They can do hideous, horrible things dispassionately because they're morally impotent. Yeah, it's a strange thing. We all have a moral sense and we can't be human without it. And yet it seems to be a submersion of something. I remember years ago, I heard a confession of a young woman who is from a good family and actually lived a pretty good life. But this priest kind of seduced her. And so she was spending time in his factory bedroom and she confessed it. But it wasn't like it was something really serious. She didn't feel any moral seriousness about that, even though she did come to confession. But it just seemed like, for whatever reason, there was a colorblindness almost, you know? She could see some things, but couldn't see others. So it happened. A desensitization, which is, of course, dangerous, right? When you suddenly become so habitual, you no longer see it as being anything unusual and therefore nothing too much of an aberration, right? If you do it all the time, we excuse ourselves for it. I want to jump back to 229, unless there's something in between. The second section is called The Priesthood of the Scientist, which is a good description here. So far, only the most general of the transpositions in Catholicism has been considered. But there are two others that complete it, although he divides it into three here. A form of worship, a dogma, and a regime. In other words, it has poetry, it's philosophy, and it's politics. Those are the three transpositions I'm going to talk about. Here's one on page 232. You mentioned the thing I brought up before about the specialization of science. The new paragraph there. For what type of scientist would be worthy to belong to such a priesthood? Well, keep going. Comp never cared for empty learning. See, this is this dismissal of the theoretical pursuit of knowledge just for its own sake, which is what the pure sciences are. He has no time for that because that's just empty learning. And another quote from him, cloudy erudition that contents itself with mechanically accumulating facts and which is equally fitted to serve the most contradictory opinions. Well, that is right. When people are, you know, you might have run into somewhat the different theory from your own. Anyway, he just can't abide that. The irony is that, as I understood it from our early discussions of Comp's philosophy and positivism, was it was building a philosophy which denied the existence of metaphysics. In other words, the empiricism and scientific materialism were the only building blocks upon which any truth could be built. And yet he seems to outgrow that and sort of like a Saturn five rocket jettisons, the very thing that got him into orbit. And so the next sentence there, the true positive spirit, as he conceives it, is at bottom just as far removed from empiricism as from mysticism. So he seems to have no real connection with the very, very ladder by which he's climbed. And that's a brilliant expression of the fact that he rejects what he sees as wrong in empiricism, being too specialized. And he rejects mysticism, which is a transcendent, basically. And in the middle is what? Something's going to take the place of the mysticism, which is humanity, and him he as as the pontiff of them all. At the bottom, a couple more lines down, he blames, quote, the exaggerated intellectual narrowness that comes from an empirical specialization. And that is true. But what he says on page 233, about 10 lines down, the aim in view should be systematic generality. Analysis should be subordinated to synthesis as progress is to order in egoism to altruism. At bottom, the whole thing should be one single science, namely human, or rather social science. Social science. There it is. There it is. That's how we have departments of social science on every university campus. That's where it came from. But look how scary that is, that basically all analysis, in other words, all reason, is subject to synthesis, which is, again, it's the inversion, perversion and reversion of the whole Hegelian thing, right? Where you're using reason, you have a thesis, then you have an antithesis, and then you come to a synthesis. Well, now you get to a synthesis. This is the final synthesis. We will have no more theses and antitheses. This is this synthesis and all future reasoning, all future analysis is subject to this final synthesis to which we've arrived, right? That's absolute ideological tyranny and totalitarianism of the 20th century encapsulated. That's right. But ironically, on 233, he wants the scientist to be, this is the top of the second paragraph, to be a man with an encyclopedic mind. Well, I thought you just said you didn't want all these, you know, this detail, this clutter, you know, with, no, I guess he's going to handpick the details that are important. Yeah, the encyclopedia would be the positivist cataclysm. That's the encyclopedia, and you can't read anything other than that. But again, you know, facts themselves, you know, mathematical quantities, these have to, we have to exercise our faculty of judgment to decide of all of this litter of facts, what's really important and what's the hierarchy of value that they have and what is all of this knowledge to be in the service of in the first place, but to God. So you take that out. Now you're just going to have an arbitrary selection of facts. Okay, what does this sound like? It's going to be settled science. We're going to arbitrarily pick the facts that fit our program. Anyone who makes any questions or complaints about it is antisocial, by definition, going to be canceled, right? Like what you just said, Joseph, this is exactly the totalitarian ideological mindset that we're up against, even now. Which is putting the template in place, which will lead to the murder of millions of people or several decades later. We'll return to the Forum Book Club with Fr.

Well, on page 234 in the middle, this is what I mentioned before. He talks about the heredity and its characteristic of science only in its academic degeneration, when dispersive particularity hampers ascetic culture and the moral urge. Genuine science, on the other hand, establishes a double synthesis, first between the various branches of intellectual research and then between poetry and philosophy. But it's true that genuine philosophy would seek to find the hierarchy of sciences and show where aesthetics require human anthropology and therefore where poetry fits in. That's what true philosophy would do. But he subsides for true philosophy a kind of mechanistic social synthesis of all these dispersed facts, with no principle except his own ego. Right. And so this is the reason why we call totalitarianism that expression because of the word total. So these men who presume to be able to see the whole, right? And now they're going to impose their view of the whole on everybody else. But it can't help but be reductionist because no human being on Earth can see the whole. That's why our knowledge is in fragments. Yeah, who wouldn't like to see the whole thing? Well, when we get to heaven, even then, we won't be able to... You know, God is so beyond us, we're going to spend eternity reaching the whole, I guess. I don't know. It's why we should not trust politically or philosophically anybody who doesn't trust mystery, right? If someone hates mystery and we have to get beyond all mystery to some totality, which is encapsulated in the human mind, that person is leading himself and others to destruction. Because it can't help but be reductionist. It can't help but be reductionist. So what does that do? Oh, the man doesn't fit in this bed? Then we have to chop off his head and chop off his feet and make him fit. And it's true what Joseph said that, you know, this leaves out the transcendent in God. It also leaves out the cross. So the two main pillars of Christianity, Trinitarian God, incarnation and redemption to the cross are still rejected by him. He wants to have a utopia where there's no cross and no God, just us. Oh, by the way, and I'm in charge. That's right. And his priesthood is on 235 to spell this out even more. This priesthood in the middle of that graph on 235, in all things, this is the total, right? In all things that will decide what should be thought. Man's understanding will be subjected to it. In the positive regime, in fact, there can be no more question of free thought or of freedom of conscience. Just look at these attempts at lawmaking going on in our own country, taking away from doctors the freedom of conscience not to perform or to perform certain procedures or certain medicines or whatever. I mean, there is an all -out attack on freedom of conscience in medicine in this country going on right now. And this is a little box thesis for this whole book, the drama of atheist humanism, namely if you leave out God, you destroy man. That's right. Because the very thing that's being done here is everything which is really human, freedom of thought, freedom of choice, freedom of conscience is being subjected to some abstraction. The look -back kind of sums this up on page 237, sums up this section actually at the bottom there. Furthermore, there's nothing now to fear from complete subordination of the reason to faith because according to Kant, it's a kind of faith, but you can actually prove it if you had to, but most of them aren't capable, so they have to submit themselves. It is tantamount to that of the mind to the heart. That is to say, it subordinates personal to social instincts or more briefly, man to humanity with a capital H, and then the look -back asks the question, can humanity be a tyrant? And that the next chapter is spiritual. That's when you say, where does this lead when you suppress man's freedom of conscience? Yeah, it's interesting. I mean, that question, can humanity be a tyrant, should be an essay prompt, really, because an abstract concept itself can't be a tyrant, but those who subject themselves to the abstract concept can become and do become tyrants. That's the way I would ask it, if someone sent me an essay prompt anyway. Yes, well, and humanity can't be a tyrant because abstractions can't do anything. Right. If you claim to be the sole reliable exponent of humanity, well, then, of course, you will be a tyrant. And you can certainly, yeah, humanity is the totality. Of course, you can sacrifice people on the order of humanity, right? And on 241, de Lubac points out that it all, the purge was beginning, de Lubac says, meaning Comte was already threatening to, quote -unquote, unmask his false adherents, you know, already the purge was beginning. So this wasn't even something that was going to be saved for later. Comte was already beginning in his own circles to weed out, you know, weed out the unbelievers or the people who aren't the true believers anyway. Yeah, on 239, about six lines down, he's quoted some of this. The social order will always be incompatible with permanent freedom to reopen at will, an indefinite discussion of the rare foundation of society. So that systematic tolerance cannot exist, and it's never really existed except in connection with opinions regarded as indifferent or doubtful. So in the bottom of the page, in short, positive faith is not open to abuses because it is always demonstrable, but people cannot demand that it should be demonstrated here and now. So we've come to the truth. We're brilliant ones. Yeah, take our word for it, or you'll be shocked. Again, this quote, I'm backtracking again to 238, the beginning of this section, that block quote there, an indented quote by Mr Jean Lacroix. Competent men are so far ahead of the masses that all sorts of political and social catastrophes have tried to happen before the latter have reached a positive stage. Besides, the community as a whole must always lag behind the elite. And here we have something which is sociological and in some sense sort of socialist and certainly secular humanist, which is also elitist. And again, that also is very much what we have now, right, where basically the socialists used to be, and I think authentically, certainly in British history, was the working class. The Labour Party was a political organisation begun by the working class in order to give the working class, to enfranchise the working class politically. But now we see the elites have completely and utterly hijacked the machine and treat the masses with complete contempt. So a word like populism has become a swear word. You know, heaven forbid that a member of the elite should be popular. You know, that people might actually like him or he might be speaking for them. So this is just really systematic elitism as now the voice of the people. Right. And yes, so we must listen to the experts and suppress any opinions that are different from those of the self -appointed experts. That's right. And these experts, we see it now, cannot tell that what's in a woman's womb is a human being or can't tell what sex a person is or whether there are only two sexes. They're the experts. If you can't figure those things out, I don't want to hear your opinions on taxation or foreign policy. Well, with the famous line by William F. Buckley, he'd rather be ruled by the first 20 people randomly chosen out of the phone book than by the faculty of Harvard.

Thanks and God bless. Part Three, Chapter 38 of the Introduction to the Devout Life by St. Francis de Sales. This is a Discerning Hearts recording read by Corey Webb. Chapter 38, Councils to Married People. Marriage is a great sacrament both in Jesus Christ and His Church, and one to be honored to all, by all, and in all. To all, for even those who do not enter upon it, should honor it in all humility. By all, for it is wholly alike to poor as to rich. In all, for its origin, its end, its form and matter are wholly. It's the nursery of Christianity, whence the earth is peopled with faithful, till the number of the elect in heaven be perfected, so that respect for the marriage tie is exceedingly important to the commonwealth, of which it is the source and supply. Would to God that His dear Son were bidden to all weddings as to that of Cana? Truly, then the wine of consolation and blessing would never be lacking. For if these are often so wanting, it is because too frequently now men summon Adonis instead of our Lord, and Venus rather than our Lady. He who desires that the young of his flock should be like Jacob's, fair and ring -streaked, must set fair objects before their eyes, and he who would find a blessing in his marriage must ponder the holiness and dignity of this sacrament, instead of, which too often weddings become a season of mere feasting and disorder. Above all, I would exhort all married people to seek that mutual love so commended to them by the Holy Spirit in the Bible. It is little to bid you love one another with the mutual love. Turtle doves do that, or with human love. The heathen cherished such love as that. But I say to you in the apostles' words, Husbands, love your wives even as Christ also loved the church. Wives, submit yourselves to your husbands as unto the Lord. It was God who brought Eve to our first father Adam, and gave her to him to wife. And even so, my friends, it is God's invisible hand which binds you in the sacred bonds of marriage. It is He who gives you one to the other, therefore cherish one another with a holy, sacred, heavenly love. The first effect of this love is the indissoluble union of your hearts. If you glue together two pieces of deal, provided that the glue be strong, their union will be so close that the stick will break more easily in any other part than where it is joined. Now God unites husband and wife so closely in himself that it should be easier to sunder soul from body than husband from wife. Nor is this union to be considered as mainly of the body, but yet more a union of the heart, its affections and love. The second effect of this love should be inviolable fidelity to one another. In olden times, finger rings weren't want to be graven as seals. We read of it in holy scriptures, and this explains the meaning of the marriage ceremony, when the church, by the hand of their priest, blesses a ring and gives it first to the man in token that she sets a seal on his heart by this sacrament, so that no thought of any other woman may even enter therein so long as she who now is given to him shall live. Then the bridegroom places the ring on the bride's hand, so that she in turn may know that she must never conceive any affection in her heart for any other man so long as he shall live, who is now given to her by our Lord himself. The third end of marriage is the birth and bringing up of children, and herein, O you married people, are you greatly honored in that God willing to multiply souls to bless and praise him to all eternity? He associates you with himself in this his work, by the production of bodies into which, like dew from heaven, he infuses the souls he creates as well as the bodies into which they enter. Therefore husbands, do you preserve a tender constant hearty love for your wives? It was that the wife might be loved heartily and tenderly that woman was taken from the side nearest Adam's heart. No failings or infirmities, bodily or mental, in your wife should ever excite any kind of dislike in you, but rather a loving, tender compassion, and that because God has made her dependent on you and bound to defer to and obey you, that while she is meant to be your helpmate, you are her superior and her head. And on your part, wives, do you love the husbands God has given you tenderly, heartily, but with a reverential confiding love? For God has made the man to have the predominance and to be the stronger, and he of his flesh, taking her from out of the ribs of the man, to show that she must be subject to his guidance. All holy Scripture enjoins this subjection, which nevertheless is not grievous, and the same holy Scripture, while it bids you accept it lovingly, bids your husbands to use his superiority with great tenderness, loving -kindness and gentleness. Husbands dwell with your wives according to knowledge, giving honor unto the wife as unto the weaker vessel. But while you seek diligently to foster this mutual love, give good heed that it do not turn to any manner of jealousy. Just as the worm is often hatched in the sweetest and ripest apple, so too often jealousy springs up in the most warm and loving hearts, defiling and ruining them, and if it is allowed to take root, it will produce dissension, quarrels and separation. Of a truth, jealousy never arises where love is built up on true virtue, and therefore it is a sure sign of an earthly sensual love, in which mistrust and inconstancy is soon infused. It is a sorry kind of friendship which seeks to strengthen itself by jealousy, for though jealousy may be a sign of strong hot friendship, it is certainly no sign of a good pure perfect attachment, and that because perfect love implies absolute trust in the person loved, whereas jealousy implies uncertainty. If you, husbands, would have your wives faithful, be it yours to set them the example. How have you the face to exact purity from your wives, asks Saint Gregory Nazianzen, if you yourself live an impure life? Or, how can you require that which you do not give in return? If you would have them chaste, let your own conduct to them be chaste. Saint Paul bids you possess your vessel in sanctification, but, if on the contrary, you teach them evil, no wonder that they dishonor you. And you, O women, whose honor is inseparable from modesty and purity, preserve it jealously, and never allow the smallest speck to soil the whiteness of your reputation. Shrink sensitively from the various trifles which can touch it, never permit any gallantries whatsoever. Suspect any who presume to flatter your beauty or grace, for when men praise wares they cannot purchase, they are often tempted to steal. And if anyone should dare to speak in disparagement of your husband, show that you are irrecoverably offended, for it is plain that he not only seeks your fall, but he counts you as half -fallen, since the bargain with the newcomer is half -made when one is disgusted with the first merchant. Ladies, both in ancient and modern times have worn pearls in their ears, for the sake, so says Pliny, of hearing them tinkle against each other. But remembering how the friend of God Isaac sent earrings as first pledges of his love to the chaste Rebecca, I look upon this mystic ornament as signifying that the first claim a husband has over his wife, and one which she ought most faithfully to keep for him, is her ear, so that no evil word or rumor enter therein, and not be heard save the pleasant sound of true and pure words, which are represented by the choice pearls of the Gospel. Never forget that souls are faithfulness lead to familiarity and confidence, and saints have abounded in tender caresses Isaac and Rebecca. The type of chaste married life indulged in such caresses as to convince Abimelech that they must be husband and wife. The great St. Louis, strict as he was to himself, was so tender towards his wife that some were ready to blame him for it, although, in truth, he rather deserved praise for subjecting his lofty, marital mind to the little details of conjugal love. Such minor matters will not suffice to knit hearts, but they tend to draw them closer and promote mutual happiness. Before giving birth to St. Augustine, St. Monica offered him repeatedly to God's glory, as he himself tells us, and it is not a good lesson for Christian women how to offer the fruit of their womb to God. Who accepts the free oblations of loving hearts and promotes the desires of such faithful mothers? Witness Samuel St. Thomas Aquinas, St. Andrea Deficile, and others. St. Bernard's mother, worthy of such a son, was wont to take her newborn babes in her arms to offer them to Jesus Christ, thenceforth loving them with a reverential love as a sacred deposit from God. And so entirely was her offering accepted that all her seven children became saints. And when children begin to use their reason, fathers and mothers should take great pains to fill their hearts with the fear of God. This the good queen Blanche did most earnestly by St. Louis her son. Witness her oft -repeated words, My son, I would sooner see you die than guilty of a mortal sin, words which sank so deeply into the saintly monarch's heart, that he himself said there was no day on which they did not recur to his mind and strengthen him in treading God's ways. We call races and generations, houses, and the Hebrews were to want to speak of the birth of children as the building up of the house, as it is written of the Jewish midwives in Egypt, that the Lord made them houses, whereby we learn that a good house is not reared so much by the accumulation of worldly goods as by the bringing up of children in the ways of holiness and of God. And to this end, no labor or trouble must be spared, for children are the crown of their parents. Thus it was that St. Monica steadfastly withstood St. Augustine's evil propensities, and, following him across sea and land, he became more truly the child of her tears in the conversion of his soul than the son of her body in his natural birth. St. Paul assigns the charge of the household to the woman, and, consequently, some hold that the devotion of the family depends more upon the wife than the husband, who is more frequently absent, and has less influence in the house. Certainly King Solomon, in the book of Proverbs, refers all households' prosperity to the care and industry of that virtuous woman whom he describes. We read in Genesis that Isaac entreated the Lord for his wife, because she was barren, or as the Hebrews read it, he prayed over against her, on opposite sides of the place of prayer, and his prayer was granted. This is the most fruitful union between husband and wife which is founded in devotion, to which they should mutually stimulate one another. They are certain fruits like the quince, of so bitter a quality, that they are scarcely eatable, save when preserved, while others again, like cherries and apricots, are so delicate and soft that they can only be kept by the same treatment. So the wife must seek that her husband be sweetened with the sugar of devotion, for man without religion is a rude rough animal, and the husband will desire to see his wife devout, as without her frailty and weakness are liable to tarnish an injury. Saint Paul says that the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband, because in so close a tie one may easily draw the other to what is good, and how great is the blessing on those faithful husbands and wives who confirm one another continually in the fear of the Lord. Moreover, each should have such forbearance towards the other that they never grow angry or fall into discussion and argument. The bee will not dwell in a spot where there is much loud noise or shouting, or echo, neither will God's Holy Spirit dwell in a household where altercation and tumult, arguing and quarreling, disturb the peace. Saint Gregory Nenzen said that in his time married people were wont to celebrate the anniversary of their wedding, and it is a custom I should greatly approve, provided it were not a merely secular celebration, but if husbands and wives would go on that day to confession and communion, and commend their married life specially to God, renewing their resolution to promote mutual good by increased love and faithfulness, and thus take breath, so to say, and gather new vigor from the Lord to go on steadfastly in their vocation.

A highlight from POA5 Know your Commander and Comrades Put On The Armor A Manual for Spiritual Warfare w/Dr. Paul Thigpen Ph.D. Discerning Hears Catholic Podcasts
"Discerninghearts .com, in cooperation with TAN Books, presents Put on the Armor, A Manual for Spiritual Warfare, with Dr. Paul Thickepen. Dr. Thickepen is an internationally known speaker, bestselling author, and award -winning journalist who has published 43 books in a wide variety of genres and subjects, including The Rapture Trap, A Catholic Response to End Times Fever, and The Manual for Spiritual Warfare, the book on which this series is based. In 2008, Dr. Thickepen was appointed by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops to their National Advisory Council. He has served the Church as a theologian, historian, apologist, evangelist, and catechist in a number of settings, speaking frequently in Catholic and secular media broadcasts and at conferences, seminars, parish missions, and scholarly gatherings. Put on the Armor, A Manual for Spiritual Warfare, with Dr. Paul Thickepen. I'm your host, Chris McGregor. Paul, thank you again so much for joining me. Thanks for the invitation to be here, Chris. God bless you. Well, in our previous conversations, we've kind of delineated what the battle is and who the enemy and some of the different ways he and those evil spirits, essentially the diabolical spirits, can assail us. But in this particular series of conversations, we want to talk about the commanders and our comrades who are just incredible in why the victory has been won. And it's so important because it's the warfare can be intense. And you start thinking about the power that the devil has and his demons and those kinds of things. It could be easy to get terrified or intimidated. But the good news is that he's already been defeated and that our Lord, by his passion and death and resurrection, has already defeated him. And that's why St. Paul could say to the Corinthians, thanks be to God, who's given us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. So that's so incredible. We would be lost without him. It would be terrible. You know, I think back to the days when my final days as an atheist and where I had begun to encounter demonic powers, but still didn't believe in God. And it shocked me out of my materialist position that all that existed was kind of what you could see in here, matter and energy. And I finally realized there are other things out there that are beyond this nature that I see around me and they're evil and they're out to eat my lunch. And, you know, came close to despair at that moment. If those things are real, I don't have a chance. And yet I realized, but, you know, the same people and the same books that told me so long ago that these things were real also said that there was a God and a Lord Jesus Christ who conquered them. I'm going to go back and read and I'm going to go back to those people and talk again. If there's a devil and there's no God, I'm really in trouble. But if there's a devil and there is God, then there's hope. And that's that's the message. There's hope because of our commander. In the manual for spiritual warfare, over and over and over again, you cite scripture passage upon scripture passage that really helps us to kind of like our Lord in the desert, just identify constantly what that is and then talk back to it in the sense that it's not our words, but it's his words. And of course, I mean with a capital H. And it is so much more powerful. There's, you know, it's one thing for us and our own words are important, too. But it's one thing for us to resist the enemy and tell him to flee or contradict what he says to us. But when we do it in the words of Jesus himself, our faith is so much greater, our confidence is so much greater that that what we say is true. And the enemy goes to accuse us and we take the words of scripture that the accuser of the brethren has been cast down. He is an accuser and he's been cast down or that in his glorious triumph he'll come with all the saints in the armies of heaven or Saint John's words, which I come to again and again. He says, you are of God, dear children, and have overcome him, the devil, because greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world. And how many times have I had to say that to the enemy? The one who's in me is greater than you are. So get lost. That's right. And that's something that we always have to remember. We had those two incredible witnesses, and in so many of the writings and scriptures, but in particular of Saint Paul and Saint John, Saint Paul says, it's not I who live, but it's Christ who lives in me. And here, just as you cited in 1 John, John the Apostle tells us once again, he who is in you, he is greater than he who is in the world. Who is in us? The great commander, our Lord Jesus Christ. In the end, the enemy is only a creature. He's a very powerful one. He has powers we don't have, but he's not some God of equal power to the good God. You know, so we're not dualists. We don't believe that there's a good God and a bad God who have to fight it out through history. He's a creature who went wrong, and even though he's very powerful, God is still God. There's only one God who's omnipotent, who's all -powerful and all -knowing. And as Saint Paul says, that he will soon crush the devil beneath your feet. And that's such a powerful promise to hold on to. And you alluded to earlier as well, those armies of heaven, which consist, as Saint Paul said in the letters to the Thessalonians 1 and 2, it's with all his saints and it's with the angels. It's that beautiful reference in Revelation that talks about Christ coming back as a warrior. And I know a lot of folks aren't comfortable with that image of Christ as warrior because we just think of him as the suffering servant and the lamb of God. And all that's true, but the book of Revelation shows him not just as the lamb who was slain, but also as the conquering warrior at the end who does finally totally crush and corral all the enemies of the saints, all the evil that we're fighting against. And talks about when he comes, he comes with the armies of heaven. And so you ask, well, who would be the armies of heaven? Well, Saint Paul then comes in and he specifies that in 1 Thessalonians 3, 13, he says he will come with all his saints. And in 2 Thessalonians, he says he'll come with the angels of his power. So those are like the two great divisions, you might say, of his army, of his host. Those are the comrades we have in battle. The queen of the saints, the queen of the angels, Our Lady, the Blessed Virgin Mary, she is also referred to as the queen of humility. And yet it's in that humility that the irony of it, can we say, that she is able to crush the head of the servant. You know, I think it's important for us to see that what Our Lady did was to undo what Eve had done and to undo what the devil had done. How did the devil fall? Through his own pride. You know, we get in the book of Isaiah, the words that I will ascend to the mountain of the Lord, you know, and he wanted to take God's place. And so his great pride gets undone. It gets overturned by Our Lady's humility, by, you know, his fiat was, I will rule, and her fiat was, let it be done to me according to thy word. And so her humility overturns his. And she undoes what the devil did. She unties that knot that the devil tied, so to speak. And you get that predicted, prophesied all the way back in Genesis, when the Lord speaks to the serpent, who, of course, represents the devil, says, I will put enmity between you and the woman and between your seed and her seed. He shall bruise your head and you shall bruise his heel. And that's why, of course, we have all these wonderful images of Our Lady, not just with the crown of stars above her head and the moon beneath her feet, as we get the image in the book of Revelation, but also with the head of the serpent crushed underneath her heel. Because though Jesus did the direct battle, she, by her fiat, by her agreement with the Lord, yes, of course, do what you want and I will bear your son. By that fiat, she also took part in that crushing of the serpent's head. And Eve gave a yes to the enemy's temptation and brought death and the devil's domination to the world. But Mary's yes to God instead of the enemy opened the door for the ultimate victory of her son over Satan. That's why we call her the new Eve. By her obedience to God, she undid what the first Eve had done by her disobedience. Well, one of the great saints that you mentioned here is not only a doctor of the church, but a loyal son of St. Francis, that St. Bonaventure, who writes so very strongly that, and he was a brilliant, brilliant, intelligent man, but even he had to acknowledge that men do not fear a powerful, hostile army as much as the powers of hell fear the name and protection of Mary. And we get that, you know, it's not just a speculation. There's all kinds of experience of that and exorcisms. A recent exorcist who talks about how an enemy, a demon, was protesting over the praying of a Hail Mary and saying every time, I'm paraphrasing, but every time you say that Hail Mary, it's like a hammer hitting my head. They have such a hatred for Our Lady, and they know that she's overcome them. She's the Queen of Angels, and as I say in one of my prayers in here, she's the Queen of Angels, and she's the bane of devils. They fear her and they tremble before her. Her name is terrible and powerful, it's the name of Jesus. Well, to them particularly, it's so beautiful that in the Manual for Spiritual Warfare, you have a whole section on prayers to Our Lady.

He continues to serve as a retreat leader and director to bishops, priests, and sisters, seminarians, and other religious leaders. Building a Kingdom of Love, Reflections with Monsignor John Essif. I'm your host, Chris McGregor. Well, what's on your heart today, Monsignor? The liberation, not only of Jesus as having conquered death through the resurrection, but Mary also had been freed from death and taken to eternal life through her assumption. So Mary, not only is she going to be redeemed through the blood and salvation of Jesus Christ in her soul, but also in her body. She is the sign of the first fruits of redemption. But all of this entered into the world when Adam, the first Adam, sinned. Saint Paul teaches us them in his first letter to the Corinthians. Brothers and sisters, Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since death came through man, the resurrection of the dead came also through man. For just as Adam all die, so too in Christ shall all be brought to life. But each one in its proper order, Christ the first fruits, then his coming, the rest who belongs Christ, then they too death will come and be ended. When he hands over the kingdom to his God and Father, when he has destroyed every sovereignty and every authority and power, for he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet, the enemies of Christ have become sin and Satan and death. So in the teaching with regard to the assumption, Christ is the first fruit who was raised from the dead. So when Jesus was crucified and died, the scriptures teach us that he rose from the dead and he was glorious and will be glorious and ascended into heaven body and soul. Christ's body that he received from Mary is risen and he conquered death by his resurrection. That was the conquest that we have of Jesus. At his resurrection, Jesus conquered sin and the cross, Satan on the cross and death by his resurrection. When his side was opened, as Paul is saying here, he then out of his side came blood and water. Water was that sign that we are going to be united with him. In scripture is shown that Adam from whom his spouse came from his side, Eve, so Christ the spouse coming from his side, the church. Out of his side comes the spouse of Christ and that would be the church that we who are the baptized are joined with our head and are one with him in this new life. And that's the magnificent thing when I think of death in my own family, I think of my mother and my father and I remember when my sister died. I think of them as they have conquered sin through their death and the Satan because they were united with Jesus Christ. So I remember in a very special way the death of my sister. When my sister died, I remember my mother was so grief -stricken. My sister was 18 and my mother was just wanting to hold on to my sister. We really weren't a good example of death and dying at that time and we had to really grow and learn. She was dying and in the hospital and I was with her. My sister said to my mother, you know mom, you're the one keeping me here. I really want to go to God. I really, and this was on the feast of Saint Peter. She had already told me days before that she would die on the feast of Saint Peter that he had the keys of heaven and she was so beautiful and so ready to die. But my mother told me later that she went home and as the angelus rang, my mother was at home praying before the image, Mary, and she said to Mary at the angelus, I give my daughter into your arms and that's when my sister died. Now death has no more power over us because of Jesus and because of the resurrection. In the same way, death has no power over Mary. Mary was sinless. She was conceived without sin. She was a unique creation of God who created her without sin. Therefore she, like her son, was never under the power of Satan. And because of his anticipated suffering, death, and resurrection on the cross, God preserved her from sin. And that's our teaching on Mary. She was conceived without sin. So from the first moment of her conception, the devil had no power over Mary. Sin had no power in Mary. She is the sinless one, the sinless virgin, and neither does death. So sin and Satan and death, which were conquered, the enemies of Jesus, when he came into the world to save us from sin, that was our enemy, and Satan and death. And so one of the most beautiful images we have of Mary in the church, we have the assumption, which is really beautiful, that time when she is assumed into heaven, body and soul, where she is now. But we also have the image of Mary of the Immaculate Conception. And this image is given to us in the Book of Revelations in the mass, in which we honor her in her assumption. This is the reading. God's temple is in heaven and it was opened and the Ark of the Covenant could be seen in the temple. This is from the 12th chapter of the Book of Revelations. A great sign appeared in the sky. A woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of 12 stars. She was with child and wailed aloud in pain as she labored to give birth. And then another sign appeared in the sky. It was a huge red dragon with seven heads and ten horns, and on its heads were seven diadems. Its tail swept away a third of the stars in the sky and hurled them down to the earth. Then the dragon stood before the woman about to give birth, to devour her child when she gave birth. She gave birth to a son, a male child, destined to rule all the nations with an iron rod. Her child was caught up to God and his throne. The woman herself fled into the desert where she had a place prepared by God. Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say, now have salvation and power come and the kingdom of our God and the authority of the anointed one. And so here the image is of the king, this male child, Jesus, being brought forth by the woman. Now has come the kingdom. Now has come the conquest. Through this child, enemy has been caught up into heaven where he reigns now at the right hand and also with him as the church teaches gloriously today as a sign of our future glory, the assumption of Mary. And so what a great joy it is to celebrate this feast. When she came to Fatima, it's not only she died. When I think of my mother turning my sister over to Mary's lap in heaven, that Mary actually has a lap and that she took her into her arms, Mary's body is there. And my sister, when she died, was received by Our Lady, body and soul. And that same woman, my mother, who gave her to God, when she died that beautiful January day in 1987, she was received by Mary's arms. And when my father died on that beautiful September 11th day, 1996, and there not only my in that magnificent revelation of Mary at Guadalupe and in there, if you look at it, clothed in the same words of revelation, clothed in the sun with the moon under her feet and all the angels and the stars in her crown, 12 stars being what seems to be the 12 apostles. This queen magnificent of heaven, as Jesus is the king, and it's assumed this new Eve, as Jesus is the new Adam, bringing forth this bride of Christ, the church, Mary as the model of the church. Here we are. And in her Magnificat, in this mass of the Assumption, she says to Elizabeth, when she comes to visit with her, my soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior. And then she said, goes on to say, all generations will call me blessed. And we who are Catholics, who are listening, and those of you who are children of God, and especially Christians, that Mary is the mother of God. And we give her that magnificent title, blessed Virgin Mary, blessed mother. So all generations will continue to call her blessed, for indeed she is. But I think I just want to, as Mary at Fatima especially, in World War I, she saw thousands and thousands dying in that horrible war. And when she came to Fatima in Portugal, she was clothed with the sun. The sun, Bishop Sheen says, she took like a little around her wrist, and she spun it in the skies. And thousands saw that miracle of the spinning of the sun. This woman wrapped in the sun, this woman in the Book of Revelations said that we have to return through prayer and penance to her son, or there would be a world of war worse than the first. And she who has overcome death, saw the death of the millions and millions that would come if we didn't pay attention to that warning, that communism would grow strong. The estimated amount of people that died in World War II was untold millions in Russia, in Europe, in the East, in Japan, and the islands. What a horrible World War II was. And yet it seems as if we still haven't learned to come into that Kingdom of God. And all of us who have been acquainted with that message of Fatima, to pray the rosary, this magnificent prayer, which Our Lady has given us as a weapon against war, the rosary as an instrument for peace. And this magnificent Lady, the Virgin Mary, giving us these instruments as the Queen of Peace, is now the Blessed Virgin Mary, assumed into heaven. And hopefully, as we celebrate it, that you will continue to pray the rosary that we, like her, may place under our feet. The enemies which Jesus has come to reign over. We want to be at peace with Christ in our hearts, in sinlessness like her, in innocence like her. What would you say to those who today are suffering prolonged illness and are facing that moment of death? There is, you know, in our day, the terrible temptation to not see in suffering, union with Christ.

"Shall live not only today but trevor monsignor what role does fair play and limiting our ability to be able to live that. Christ live to live that identity. Because i think sometimes it causes us to potentially run. It's constant fear is a constant threat. That's why you know if you were to just take that challenge to just just say that you know i know will begin this new life the gift of the holy spirit that you really believe i'd leave. You need to say that is the gift of courage. Even if you would pick up this text and read it more completely from saint paul brothers and sisters i declare and testify in the lord that you must no longer live as the gentiles to in the futility of their minds. And it's it's like the fear will constantly have us postpone this. What if and all the kind of negativity that will come to want to stop us from living and being christ in the world. Today you can't do it. You really can't possibly live twenty four hours a day. Seven days a week the life of christ. You can't leave today. You can't possibly think all day long today lovingly toward everyone you meet..

"Now it's subject to different kinds of of rapture where it goes completely outside itself and it's all suspended and so it attains these kind of psychic states that are very lofty. It is easy to presume when you begin this kind of prayer that now. You don't need to go back to earlier. Forms of prayer that were more humble and it's simply not the way. The lord works progress in the spiritual. Life in progress of prayer isn't measured by the payment of psychic states. There are a lot of psychic states that you'll experience go through but ultimately it's not the attainment of a psychic state but instead it's the attainment of love that is the measure of and she holds this rule so firm that she will continue to insist on it even in the highest levels of union.

"Go for the record that he's not going far. Yeah it's a really good question. Because everyone i've spoke to at the start this morning including road illingworth mark communist. She's longtime Well mentor and one time coach. I'm friend said well. He's going to do today isn't he. I mean in typical road fashion. He thought the stage was going to be a sprint. Finish even with the crosswinds tailwinds. You know we see stages. Yeah there's a bit of chaos. Maybe there might be some splits towards the end it will all come down to a sprint. But the only way it's gonna come back down to a sprint. If somebody takes the initiative to do the chasing and clearly wants to break went away with powerful ride in it. No one wanted to to do that. everyone would have been looking at cutting quickstep because of combination by julian out of felipe in the break. Now me looking at. I think well that's not really enough reason to let it go out so far that you can't possibly bring it back at the finish. I spoke to michael moore. Mikhail mccoo off to cutting quickstep one of the writers who participates in the lead out train. Go tim clerk to do a lot of the closing down. But i asked him a few questions about why didn't come down to the much anticipated. Sprint yeah just happened that all the teams who was interesting having sprint had a guy in the first group We had a very good carter in julian so Obviously austin was Was a good so that such a break go. But i mean the odds of kevin dish winning a spring here would probably be higher than julian allah leap even winning a smallish group on these roads. So i mean what were you thinking. back in. The bunch was ever a moment where you thought. Maybe we'll work no not at all. I mean We have the world champions now team. He wasn't a breakway. He suddenly have very great chances to win such stage On same time We also just have aid writers and We can't afford to spend a lot of energy everyday so We have to pick our fights and Today was a day where It was good for us to rest a bit. And and let's see what you learn could create out of a breakaway. And lastly we were thinking about the record. The mark cavendish doesn't like to talk about but We think it might be on the savage challenge. Tomorrow may be a sprint finishing carcassonne. Yeah think some article be a chance for sprint. That's for sure I think also stationed. Nineteen twenty one. It's an option so I think we have some good Possibilities left in this house. Was he climbing yesterday. On bond to he can pretty well compared to other guys I was quite impressed about how he's he's been climbing climbing this tour He's doing really well and I'm not concerned for him. Interesting from mccoo that talking about the defendant quickstep not wanting to do the chasing all on their own obviously fake onto the from they would have been setting themselves up for the whole stage. My point to more cough. America was julian allah fleet from that group of thirteen as brilliant as he as easy as on a basically a sprint. Finish would he win against those riders. Would he be able to get into the small enough split. I wasn't sure as it turned out. He he didn't he'd been off the road most of the day as well. You know he's done a lot of work in this race helping combination leading out and closing things down as well so i wanted you know. Perhaps smart combination himself didn't today one to to a slightly easier day. A spare the team if that work but then again the flip side of that is if you don't wanna do any chasing today of these. Two days would have been the one to do it because there's only one hundred and fifty nine kilometers tomorrow. He's over two hundred kilometers as you say francois sprinting caucus always given very rarely engine a sprint breakaway favorite tomorrow. They not likely to want to close down everything on a two hundred kilometers stage. So it's an interesting. He just doesn't want the record. Come on too much. Respect for the guy would come name but yeah i think. Another factor an unimportant one interesting because we we we kept saying saying everybody keeps saying that you know emirates okay a little bit better than last year the not controlling the dipoto and the did actually control the chase today and my impression and if you look at always chasing leading the chase of the proton old they seem a emirates so obviously try said look. We have thirteen guys in from almost every team is there you know okay. You're going to have a stage win. Whatever you know. let's put. We had to climbs mount ventoux. Yesterday i kind of cracks. We will never know how much did but my impression is that is asserted himself as a boss. A little bit and said look. Let's take it easy. It's windy we will be named quickly. The you know. Think of your hotel the nice shower and massage and let these guys go for it and leave me alone. That's my impression. So the track target. They all to shed today. Yeah i guess they with exceptional asleep. They did maybe have a slightly easier day. The writers hate that. When you say that. Because i'm sure it was so quite hard but yeah i mean listen frenetic. Everyone panicking about now. He's too because it man through that process of the break forming the way it did it meant a big engines in there and there were powerful writers. And you know they weren't. They weren't just breakaway hopefuls. They were strong writers and so that also makes it harder to bring back but one two five six minutes. Seven minutes sent a conscious decision not to chase her. And say we're not we're giving up a state when mark cavendish giving me sprinting. Legs must've been confident of pulling pulling in a victory. I mean you know. He's still sprinting. Very well as far as we know yesterday would have been tough but as we heard that from mccoo he thinks a communist. She's climbing pretty well. So it's really difficult one to kind of understand. Why why they didn't go for it. But i guess because it's one hundred and twenty kilometers to go when the decision has to be made i either had to react then because once it went to eleven minutes from while we said well. Let's say there's even if they go on the front now they might bring it down. Get it within three or four and then it would have been a real taxing chase so better to let it go. Maybe we're on the road and a check the best placed rider in the in the surgery now and it was fifteen minutes down. So obviously he was in everybody's interest before remember. We're getting closer to the weekend. And i it's not going to be weekend is going to be almost a week of pyramids you know looming so i guess everybody thoughts while we're devante yesterday. What what why. Not call it a truce for one day. And i know you don't lie speculation but it was a moment when we thoughts. And what if. Roy moore wins this. You know after after the return of mccowan dish the day when he could have broke well equal level. The record that doesn't exist at the is car travel of the old days. Winning within the stage would have been fun. But it never it didn't happen at at at. Its eappen gripe what would have been the second oldest stage winner in these history of the sort of franz which who she odor. I don't Peanuts peanut sarah me so you.

Very well as far as we know yesterday will have been tough but as we heard from mccoo. He thinks she's climbing pretty well. So really difficult one to kind of understand. Why why they didn't go for it. I guess because it's a hundred and twenty kilometers to go when the decision has to be made. I either had to react then because once. He went to eleven minutes. Francois we said well that's even. If they go on the front now they might bring it down get it within three or four and then it would have been a real taxing chase so better to let it go. Maybe we're on the road and a check. The best place writer in the in g c and there was surgery now and it was fifteen minutes down. So obviously he was in everybody's interest before you remember..

I hope everybody on the Minneapolis City clown, so I hope every member of the Saint Paul counts how every one of them since there's and has to listen to that from start to finish.

Got that Amber alert. Yep. When that happened. How did you know it's going to look bandit? It's out of control, and it is directly At the feet of the elected leadership. That got us to this point, and that means people that were in office before this current batch, But it's certainly includes this current batch because they have no strategy and no plan on how to deal with it. Okay, Cops can arrest the same people over and over and over and over, But if they just get spat back out on the street after being processed, there ain't much they can do. And if you follow any of these crime watch Twitter accounts. They're all they're all good about about when when somebody gets arrested or booked or sentenced to go. Yeah. He was previously booked six months ago for similar charges and was out on probation. They were paid. This is the fourth time that this person is being charged with this crime and they were out on probation. They're out. They got a revolving door at our at our jails right now, and that is on purpose.

But don't even realize you're speaking the truth when they say it will get into this coming up. First off, though, Let's go and talk with Tom and ST Paul. He wants to come in. On the University of Minnesota student that we've been talking about that attempted to, you know, bring attention to his name by lying about a on an altercation that you have with University of Minnesota Police. Good morning, Tom. Thanks for calling in Hey, Good morning. I do feel compelled to travel in this because I'm actually he you've been student myself. Rapid of night my degree in middle age one class at a time. And here's what I found. Preposterous story is that is a student. I received what are called campus safety updates, which are texting email alerts when crime sample would crimes happened. Onward near campus. And Have received these alert, sometimes sometimes minor offenses, sometimes of the baddest sexual assaults on light rail platforms. What 99% of them have in common. Is that every single aspect of it's a perpetrator is described. You know, down to the color of the shoe laces, but the information that might be remotely helpful in protecting student safety is conveniently missing. And so It just struck me. It's preposterous that for this guy to insinuate the campus cops are racist when they won't even give you the race of someone who sexually assault the student. It's just It's absurd and he should be kicked off campus immediately. I am curious. Thanks for the call time I am I'm really curious to see if the university will we'll step in. And and if there will be any any consequences for this kid, and you look I mean, at the end of the day he is just kid. I'm not Don't let the guy's life to be ruined over this. But you know the consequences should be enough to to send a message not just to him but to anybody else, that if you're going to go try to essentially incite a riot because that is the potential outcome of something like that going viral and not being checked, Inciting a riot people get hurt and property gets damaged. I mean, that's You can't do that you there needs to be some some significant consequences to deter that kind of behavior in the future. He was creating artwork and means and flyers. Based off of that altercation that was completely fabricated hashtag defund u M ped. I mean, he was he was attempting to create his own little movement based off of a complete and total lie. I'm with you, His life shouldn't be destroyed. You know, it looks like it looks like based off of every because there's a ton of the guy has made a name for himself as a ton of information about him. About him out there and looks like he was he was moving towards of a lucrative career in many different aspects.

It just drives me crazy. Honestly. And this this message is a is a wake up call for all of us who find her identity and what we have what we do and what people say. Just didn't do much in Saint Paul knew that, he said, and to be found in him not having a righteousness my own that comes from the law. But that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God, that depends on faith. I said it before, and I say it again. God had robed in and closed him in the righteousness and purity, spotless nous sinless nous of his son, Jesus Christ, and God declared him innocent, even though he wasn't because of its in God declared him innocent in his sight through faith in Jesus, and he does the very same thing for you today. That's our relationship with Jesus Christ redefines our identity by first of all, what you have. And what do you have a relationship with God? Declared righteous in the sight of God forgiven of your sins, the guidance and direction of the heavenly father in your life right now and the glories of heaven. In the next life to come. That's what you have. What do you do? You become a servant of hiss. You understand that Your life is on mission for Jesus. You understand that You are a servant with being an ongoing ambassador for Christ shining the light of Christ, wherever you go. Whether it's with your neighbors or with your co workers, or with your schoolmates being a servant, letting your light shine.

But that's not why I do it. He says. I do it because I understand I'm on mission.

And the other day said I was having tests done because I've got cancer and it was really a struggle and he texted me, he said. But I'm letting my light shine. I'm trying to point people that Jesus and I told him that's awesome. And you know what? He texted back to me. It's not me. Christ in me. If I march that guy appear right now, he'd say my identity is in Christ. Not what I do what people think What I have Relationship with Jesus Christ redefines our identity by what you have in your child of God. What you do and finally What God thinks of you. What does God think of you? The apple of his eye. You're the crown of his creation. Rejoices over you and gladness. He exalts over you is singing. He declares that you are his beloved child. Remember when Jesus was baptized and God? The father said about his son. You're my beloved son, in whom I will Please, He says the same thing to you. You're my beloved sudden, my beloved daughter. I don't think God sounds like Darth Vader, by the way. What Can we kind of like This counter cultural message, by the way, but can we kind of like just kind of Mm hmm.

Bask in it on Friday, which is my day off. We many of you know this, and I'm not saying this to impress you. Because tell how many of you know the televisions are cheap now, Okay.

In other words, what's he saying? Well. He found his identity before he came to know Christ. First of all in what he had. He was a Ferris e. He was well respected. He had a beautiful home. He had a good education. He found his identity in what he had. Secondly, he found his identity and what he did. He was well educated. He had a doctorate of theology. He was a Farris E. He did well. He found his identity and how successfully Woz so he put his identity and what people thought what he had and what he did. And I said just a minute ago what he Did what he had and what people thought of him. People respected him. People looked up to him. He was example of godliness. He knew the ceremonial law. People respected him. Tremendously because of what he did, and because of what he had, so people filled his bucket. But then listen He realized that nobody's identity could be rooted in that. Why? Because it's un fulfilling its non satisfying It leads you empty. How many people do you find out in the world today who try to find their identity by what we have what we do and what people think, and they're still empty. Jesus said it best when he said, What does it profit a man if he gains everything that the world has to offer? It has no relationship with God and loses his soul. Saint Paul knew that Before he discovered the gospel through faith in Jesus Christ. His life revolved around not only putting himself right with God by his works, which he couldn't do, because sin still remain. But also by what he had. What he did and what people thought. And I'm here to tell you if any of you are trying to find your identity and that it is a dead end street It will not satisfy. What does What does Right? Grace. Notice with ST Paul says here, it's it's powerful. Okay, Verse seven. He says this But whatever gain I had Counted his loss for the sake of Christ. And then versus indeed, I count. Everything is lost because of the surpassing worth of knowing. Jesus Christ, my Lord. He's saying this what I have. It's gone. What I did. It's gone. What people thought of me it's gone. My reputation is shot. I was a persecutor. The church Nama Christian people are thinking what's up with me? Saying all that is gone, and he's also saying basically, and I don't care. Even when the phone goes off in the middle of this service, I don't care. I don't care. Said, like this Listen to this. He's basically saying it doesn't mean anything to me anymore. Identity is rooted in something else. Myself worth and value is rooted in something else. My identity. Is found in Someone else. Many goes on to say what it is, man. Go ahead and look at verse eight. Once again Indeed, I count everything is lost because of the surpassing worth of knowing. Jesus Christ, My Lord, Look at this. For his sake. I've suffered the loss of what What's it say? All things all things. People think what I have what I do. Lost it all. I could care less. My identity is in Christ. I'm rooted in Christ, Mike Value and self worth is identified in Christ. And then he goes on to say why, For his sake, I suffer the loss of all things and count them. I love this. Do you know what the Greek word is? For the word rubbish is up there second line for his sake. I suffer the loss of all things and count them as rubbish. Do you know what the Greek word is for rubbish Human waste. Think Saint Paul didn't cuss he did right here. Hey. This is what it means to me. Nothing. Your waist. It's rubbish. Greek work. It is school Billa. That doesn't even sound good, right? And that's Scooby Doo Scuola. Yeah. It's cooler. Gross good. What? Think all Don't you like everybody else? Doesn't what the world can offer matter to you. Well, not very much. Comes and goes, It's fleeting. It's not satisfying, son fulfilling leaves the empty some of you know that. And you've been barking up the wrong tree all your life. You try to find your worth and identity and value in what people say about you what you have and what you do. And at the end of life. Nobody will care. There's only one thing that matters now. And into eternity. What have you done with Jesus Christ. Have you put your trust in him? Is he or all in all? Is your identity and self worth rooted in him. Saint Paul goes on to say why, for his sake, I've suffered the loss of all things and count them is rubbish in order that I may gain Christ and be found in a faith relationship with him. Then he describes what that faith relationship is not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law. In other words, I can keep the law all day if I want But I still fall short of the glory of God. I sin and my life is tainted by sin, and I can't put myself in a right relationship with God through my works.

Stuck Mic AvCast – An Aviation Podcast About Learning to Fly, Living to Fly, & Loving to Fly
Behind the Book: Nine Lives Over the North Atlantic with Kerry McCauley
"You must be somebody who really really loves adrenaline jockey that's for. Sure. Yeah, I sure do got to keep the heart going. So you talk about in this book single engine over the Ocean. Boy Really. Sure. Sure. They gotta they gotta get. There's someplace and you gotta find somebody stupid enough to do it so. that. It takes a lot of skill to do that, and so a lot of times people ask though. I know we talk about faring airplanes, 'cause people, purchase planes. There's a lot of reasons to do it I. I'm in a building here where we have a ferry company downstairs. I always think of putting a small plane in a container and shipping it would probably be the best way. So so why would you ferry a plane over the water when you could ship it in a container? Well in a word money I mean it's expensive to take him apart. Shipping is not that expensive expensive to put it back together. But you know last time to play I've heard lots of stories of people doing that and they get there and there's a couple of vital parts missing from the plane and. Becomes a problem. So then they would go toward someone like you that can actually has first of all the knowledge. To fly an airplane, the water and also has more than that has the guts to do. I I'd have to say when you're preparing for this, there's got to be two things involved. I would think there's a psychological aspect and there's also the the whole part of preparing from paperwork and more of a knowledge aspects. So it's talk first about the the knowledge you know what type of things do you need to not do this type of a trip? Well number one you've got to figure out, can the play make the trip? You know what route are you gonNA take you get find fuel stops you need any overflight permits arguments, put ferry tanks in the plane that's kind of the big one. On a few need to make some really long legs over the ocean, most planes can't do it on their standard fuel. So you've got to put very tanks of the plane. So ferry tanks. What are those? Are they metal or a rubber? I freeze the metal ones. They do make rubber ferry tanks at collapses there being used, but the metal ones are more reliable. You take the seats out of the back the out of the back of the plane and put them in the tail basically in. Put the ferry tanks as far forward as you can for CG and. There you go. Extra. When you're when you do that, that's going to be a bit of a cost to the person right to that's part of the cost of doing the first flight. Yeah Yeah. But usually if you've got very tanks in their lifetimes, you can make up the cost or that by skipping stops especially these days a lot of times landing permits and especially foreign countries get to be really expensive. But when you have fourteen hours a range you can. Literally make half the stops that you normally would end if you didn't tanks. So it's Kinda Nice. So each of those stops assuming there are some costs involved in and that type of thing as far as like land permits I'll a definite landing permits these days in foreign countries are getting to be really ridiculous plus these days. Almost every foreign airport requires you to have a handler. Which is adding extra costs me back when I first started three years ago we did everything ourselves you shop at a foreign airport that you'd never been to that. You don't speak the language you just have to dive in fine landing fees get fuel weather food if you got time and do it yourself now they make you hire handler which is nice but expensive. So. Do you really need the handler? No Dan was really bothered me most of the time they're not. They're not very helpful first of all, and it's just the money's right off. You know right off the top every time you spend on your on the road is coming right out of your pocket. So it's It's going to shell out a few hundred dollars or more on a stop just had some guy walk alongside you. Yeah. How did you learn to do all this? I started back in one, thousand, nine, hundred, ninety for flying for a company called Orient Air out of Saint Paul Minnesota. and. My friend's father owned the company. We were army recruits together in the National Guard. and. They needed a pilot ninety job actually was a actually spent a few years trying to get this enough hours to get this job. And got. Hired. Off on the road I went. So yeah. It's some mentors that could help you out Is that something that you would suggest if someone was thinking again, getting into this get was somebody I. Oh, definitely there's so many things that you don't think about when you're getting ready to make especially along ocean crossing. The the weather considerations are. Paramount I. Mean you run unexpected headwinds? Don't leave yourself enough reserve. You might come up short nets usually considered inconvenient
Let's Talk Addiction & Recovery
Making Treatment a Virtual Reality for More People
"It's a real treat to have Bob Poznanovic with me today because a long time ago before he went to work at Hazel and before he became the vice president of Business Development for this organization, Bob and I met in the Community of recovery in Saint Paul Bobby. It was in about nineteen, eighty, nine, ninety five when you and I would get in the car together and drive to center city I'll certainly a lot has happened in our lives personally and professionally just share with our audience today your personal connection to the Organization Hi William. It was February thirteenth of nineteen ninety five when I had reached my bottom. When I was using cocaine. A really high. Amount. In. CHICAGO. I had just lost my job at the senior executive in a technology company in camp lost my relationships and. Like everybody else and reach that point that I ran out of options and Fortunately found the Hazel and foundation and went to treatment said February and stayed in center city until March and then I went to fellow club where I met you and other members of the community some point in at the end of the march we started volunteering and every Saturday a group of would go to center city and share our strength experience and hope with patients that became a big secret to you know to my recovery is at volunteering and giving back and having some fun. You'll filling that void that drugs and alcohol had that was now being filled. With recovering I think that's one of the one of the promises and one of the gifts is to have really to friendships like yourself and others. Throughout the year. So it's nice to see you and it's nice to be here in the same capacity with you being able to carry, put a face on recovery and carry the message of hope who have ever imagined it right when. You talk about how much you lost but. We're so glad that you've gained so much and we're so glad that you continue to hold onto the expertise that has put you into the role now as vice president of Business Development for this organization at really a critical time, not only in our growth but as we. Address the pandemic of. Corona virus. And you're in charge of a lot of that effort. Can you take us through the process of developing and law launching? He's willing. Betty. Ford's telehealth strategy. Sure so because. My background has always been in technology. I was looking ahead and trying to predict kind of where the industry was going to go is you're looking at technology and healthcare in general I. Think it was pretty clear that technology utilization in behavioral health was really lagging in particularly even more. So in substance use a lot of organizations didn't even have electronic medical records. And you looked at the look at the industry, look at the industry problems, patient problems and care delivery problems back in twenty eighteen. When I HAPPEN TO HAVE A. Demo of some software that one of our pair partners was developing. And it clicked on me that. This technology could be. Used to deliver care differently. So was in two thousand, eighteen we started to talk about how could we use video? In live video between patients, not just in one in one environment which was being done. For telehealth for for years. But how could it be done in a group environment because the problem we are looking to solve Was Access. We're working with a lot of our partners around the country and communities. Academic health centers and other state organizations in healthcare to rural organs. Rural patients is a real challenge. So you know, could it help provide care improve access to roll Marcus would the convenience? Of being able to get care wherever you're at improve engagement. If you live in downtown La Chicago New York you know the catchment area is really small and some big cities because people don't want to fight the traffic after work to get the care. So convenience improve engagement. And the other was would. Stigma. Could we help through overcome some of the stigma. By. Not Making people physically have to show up at a building Kinda put a label on themselves Kenneth come out much more in a sense in Kuwait engaged them earlier by having them. Feel it's safer. As, well as convenient. To start that way. So we it started in two thousand eighteen down the past, and could we accomplished all the goals of of healthcare which is approve access improve outcomes improve. Patient satisfaction and lower costs.

Was the only woman on the administrative committee working with civil rights leaders, Martin Luther King, junior, Bayard Reston. And Eighth Phillip Randolph. Mobilize people to attend to arrange transportation logistics and to organize food and water for attendees fell on Anna's pleat because King Randolph and the other men she wrote for carrying on all of their regular responsibilities and it was difficult to get them to the meetings.

On Being with Krista Tippett
[Unedited] Michael McCarthy with Krista Tippett
"I'm so delighted to be. Speaking with you. I can't tell you how much I love your book and I'm telling everyone about it. Yeah. It's as marked up. Emmy Book I have ever read. In the Bible including the Bible and I picked it up just on a table in a bookstore in Saint Paul Minnesota Twin cities. Different questions for me before we get going I think. Okay. I'm happy to respond to you. Yeah I don't I. So I don't usually do Generally do book interviews but really, and I've dug little bit and I've also looked at your. Some. Of Your other writing but I really. So so we're we're not talking about the book, but essentially we're talking about. Everything, the book is about. So I yeah so Chris I think we're good great. Okay. Yes and so we have a nice amount of time to have a big. Real wandering conversation. I would like to start I I I. Start Most of my interviews with a question just just wondering about The religious or spiritual background of someone's childhood I find. That is a very fertile place and everybody's imagination whatever their story is. It's full of questions and searching and softness so. However you would. However, you would begin to to think of that. How would you? How would you Described the religious or spiritual background of your childhood. I would use a curious phrase to describe. What I am now I would describe myself as an ethnic Catholic. Okay. that was a phrase I can't claim authorship of it was used by. British woman politician about twenty years ago meaning there's I grew up a Roman Catholic. and I have abandoned the faith. The formerly at any right but the belief system if not not necessarily. Belief in heaven now but the. The sense of right and wrong I think Stays with you all your life and you relate to it. Was it Mary? McCarthy who read a book called wants to Catholic. And I think the sense of right and wrong and also I think he'll go strong sets. Of Original Sin Yeah I. Think I'm quite aware that is a very dark side to the species mom. If, we can say that these days I think the the species is still called mind it's a human being. and so even though I'm not formally religious. I, like to think I. Suppose that I carry with me what people might describe as a religious sensibility. And I feel like right at the beginning of of your book The Moss snowstorm nature enjoy. You I mean this is this is a this is a book about our bond with the natural world. Right and you and you start it. It's also woven, and that bond is both civilizational. It's at once civilizational and species something about our species, but it's also personal. and so and you do we've that personal story all the way through your reflection on this large subject. End You know you're use the word a soul in this way rather early you describe your mother's illness and She she was away for a time institutionalized and. One of the things that happened to you as a child is it you you had a lack of feeling about that. that you could perceive, but then you describe this day. And here's just the sentences. That there was a singular window. Of observing butterflies and he said when I was a skinny kid in short pants, butterflies entered my soul. So where'd you just tell a little bit of that story as and why that is a vantage point for you on again, this large civilizational issue. It was really just a personal way. Of, my own way through my own personal experience. Of. Beginning explore. the strange conundrum which it seems to me that we can actually love very fiercely the natural world I we sort of take that for granted as commonplace. But as I got older, it seemed to me rather curious phenomenon because after all the natural world is only the the environment from which we emerge to species like every other species. Unlike. Every other species there are two things that they're not sure world has for us. One is danger. One is utility because the natural world can be dangerous and it can kill you. You can have thousands of people killed by snakes in India every year still or not show world can be a great advantage. It can provide you food and shelter and various other things. And all species are aware even if instinctively of these things but we have a third thing, which is that we can actually love the natural world.

How Do Researchers Preserve Smells?
"Pardon me fragrances your book wearing researchers at university. College London suggests that the knows knows get it in an extensive study of smells heritage and Historic Paper published in the Journal Heritage Science. The authors argue the importance of documenting and preserving smells, but why the researchers realized that visitors at Saint Paul's Cathedral Dean and Chapter Library in London frequently comment on the aroma of the space, saying they feel like they can smell history now. Thanks to our LIMBIC system odors can make us pretty emotional especially when they evoked memories, sense affect how we experience different cultures and places and help us gain more insight into. Into and engage more deeply with the past since smells are a part of our cultural heritage, the researchers posit they have historical value and deserve to be identified analyzed and archived using chemical analysis and sensory descriptions. The study authors said about figuring out a way for scientists and historians to do so. In one experiment, the researchers asked visitors at the historic library to characterize the odors. They smelled more than seventy percent of respondents considered the library smell as pleasant. All visitors thought it smelled woody. While eighty six percent noticed a smoky aroma, earthy was seventy one percent and vanilla. At forty one percent were also descriptors. Visitors chose often. Responses ranged from musty, pungent and floral to rancid In another experiment, the study authors analyzed the responses of seventy-nine visitors to the Birmingham. Museum and Art Gallery in the United Kingdom to the smell of a historic broke from a second hand bookstore to capture the book smell. A piece of sterile GAAS was soaked in five milliliters or point one seven ounces of an. An extract of the book odor and placed in an unlabeled metal canister, screwed shut to prevent visitors from peaking the top three responses when the visitors were prompted to describe the smell, chocolate, coffee and old, the team even analyzed the volatile organic compounds also known as VOC's in the book and in the library. Most odors are composed of VOC's or chemicals that evaporated. Evaporated low temperatures. VOC's are often associated with certain smell types like acetic acid with sour, for instance, using the data from the chemical analysis and visitors smell descriptions. The researchers created the historic book odor. We'll to document and archive the historic library smell main categories such as sweet or spicy fill the inner circle of the wheel descriptors such as caramel or biscuits fill the. The middle and the chemical compounds likely to be the SMELLY source like Firfer all fill the outer circle. The researchers want the book odor wheel to be an interdisciplinary tool that untrained noses can use to identify smells and the compounds causing them, which could address conservatives concerns about material, composition and degradation inform artifact, paper, conservation decisions and benefit all the factory museum experiences.
The Bible Project
Reading the New Testament Letters: Q & A
"How to read the New Testament Letters. Let's start with a question from Damian in Minnesota Hey. Tim and John. My name is Damian. Leverett and I live. Live in Saint Paul. Minnesota I'm a classically trained theater actor and performer, and listening to these episodes has made me wonder if it could be a fruitful practice for churches to have people like me. Trained in speaking complex texts in an active embodied way, read the letters in their entirety in live gatherings. What do you think about this idea is? It's stupid. Are there any pitfalls or problems that you'd foresee? I'd love your advice. Thanks for all you do all right. I'll respond first Damian your idea is the opposite of stupid. It's actually brilliant and so important, and yes, you should do it. No questions asked. All Right? That's my first response. was here's John for sure? Yeah, you. We talked about how these letters were originally heard. Read Aloud. Yeah, that's right and that there is something about. Hearing it all in one sitting that helps you Kinda feel the shape of it in a different way. I noticed when I read. I get really stuck like what did that sentence mean? I don't keep moving. But, if you're in a situation, where just being read aloud in listening to an audio version of the Bible, that's really powerful, so so if you have a vision for using your experience in theater. That's awesome. Yes, John and I. Both knew a guy named Jason Nightingale. Who had just ministry nonprofit, he called word sewer ministries, but essentially he memorized all the books of the New Testament. Did he do all of them well? I don't know that for certain, but the sampling that I. Know that I've heard him. Recite before makes me think he's for sure got. From the gospel of Mark to the book of revelation Romans, Hebrews. Fijian's so we back when we were in our twenties, heard him. Yeah back in the nineties. Nineties Nightingale. But Man. This guy traveled all over the US and the world reciting books of the New Testament and then sometimes he would give short little homily. Reflection afterwards, but his main thing was to recite whole books the New Testament in one go for groups of people with such a booming. Yes, wonderful destroy had a uniquely amazing voice yeah. So yes Damien I. It's a wonderful idea. It should be normal I. Think this kind of ministry should be normal in the life of a local church. Yeah, having somebody who's like the memorizer and reciter of books of the New Testament. So guts be Damian. Go forth and memorize and recite his question from Lauren in Indiana Hi John and Tim. This is Lauren and Fort Wayne Indiana I'm listening to your conversation on the New Testament letters with my usual rapt attention, and in episode three is John expressed some frustration that the theology. The New Testament isn't more thoroughly connected and expurgated. It made me wonder. Wonder whether Paul as a Hebrew scripture scholar, who understood that it was as you call it. He Meditation Literature. Do you think it's possible that he crafted his epistles in that same way so that people would need to hear them and read them over and over to really get the depth of meaning just curious. Thanks for all you do God bless. It's great question. I thought that was really insightful. Question. It is true especially Paul the his letters are hard to understand. There are or you could say there are many parts that are difficult to follow. And you remember at some point in the series. I mentioned passage in Second Peter where Peter felt the same way That's right. Yeah, yeah, he says there are some things of Paul's letters that are hard to understand. However the question is. Is that intentional? He could. Is it a bug? My hunch is that for Paul's letters that it was expensive to write. Letters can talk about this future episodes. How how letters were actually produced and how expensive it was and the process involved, but I think part of it was just the way he communicated through these letters and the way his mind work. was like a beautiful mind. In terms of. Is this guy crazy or is this guy brilliant? I think it seems you can just feel bursting out of sentences in Galicians that there's whole volumes. He could riot on what's underneath just a couple of sentences and so? I think you actually could. You. Do need to read them over and over at least I have for years, but I'm not sure it's necessarily because he crafted the way. The Hebrew literature is crafted I. Think it's he was raised on that literature, and so he certainly is shaped by it and talks things by, but I think it's also just the nature of him his unique personality, and then the letter medium. How would you think I hear what you're saying there? Yeah, he not designed with the same maybe. Maybe intention analogy that scroll in the Tanakh would have been designed potentially, but he had internalized that design, and that tradition, and that tradition so much that it undergirds everything. He sang by Medicare, eating on Hebrew Bible, and then meditating on what Paul's writing. Yes, as cool chemistry that happens totally which I've noticed. Yeah, yeah, working on this project with you so many things come pop a lot more when when I start to see the things that that Paul was seeing And which are things that you've been pointing out these patterns and themes inside?
