081 Critiquing the New Age, Pt. 2

On Wednesday, August 15, 2018, Dcn. Mike Beauvais and Pam Marvin concluded their two-part analysis of the New Age movement based on the publication "Jesus, Water Bearer of Life" from the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. Especially useful in this regard are the questions the document provides that are useful in a self-assessment of beliefs and to use apologetically in conversation with a believer in New Age spirituality. The hosts also devoted significant time in the first portion of the show discussing recent allegations of priestly abuse and immorality in various parts of the country.

078 Dr. Miranda Walichowski: Woundedness and Root Sin

On Wednesday, July 25, 2018, host Pam Marvin invited back Dr. Miranda Walichowski for further conversations about the concept of root sin. Dr. Walichowski pointed people to Matt 4:3–11 and the three temptations that Jesus endured in the desert. Together they constitute the root sins of sensuality, vanity, and pride. They explained that conquering root sin depends significantly on what Pam would call good "human formation" and what Dr. Walichowski likened to "preparing for spiritual battle," i.e. hydration, proper nutrition, exercise, and sufficient sleep. Finally, both Pam and Dr. Walichowski highlighted imaginative or contemplative prayer methods as avenues for healing deep woundedness from past root sin.

074 Kristin Stravinsky: Home Enthronement of the Sacred Heart

On Wednesday, June 20, 2018, host Pam Marvin interviewed Kristin Stravinsky, in the second half of the show about the devotional practice of home enthronement of the Sacred Heart of Jesus (the feast day was June 8). The materials and rites for an enthronement are provided and distributed by Our Lady's Blue Army. This venerable international Catholic organization arose, in response to the apparitions at Fatima, in 1947 under the direction of Msgnr. Harold Colgan. The Blue Army (officially the World Apostolate of Fatima) was only declared by the Catholic Church as a Public International Association of the Faithful in 2010.  Today, there are more than 40 million members of the Apostolate worldwide. Kristin is the Apostolate's national coordinator for the home enthronement program. She and Pam discussed the prayers and actions during a typical home enthronement and how it is such a good way of "sanctifying, protecting, enhancing, and preserving marriage and family life."

These are the twelve promises of Our Lord to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque for those who devote themselves to His Sacred Heart:

1. I will give them all the graces necessary for their state of life.
2. I will establish peace in their families.
3. I will console them in all their troubles.
4. They shall find in My Heart an assured refuge during life and especially at the hour of their death.
5. I will pour abundant blessings on all their undertakings.
6. Sinners shall find in My Heart the source of an infinite ocean of mercy.
7. Tepid souls shall become fervent.
8. Fervent souls shall speedily rise to great perfection.
9. I will bless the homes where an image of My Heart shall be exposed and honored.
10. I will give to priests the power of touching the most hardened hearts.
11. Those who propagate this devotion shall have their names written in My Heart, never to be effaced.
12. The all-powerful love of My Heart will grant to all those who shall receive Communion on the First Friday of nine consecutive months the grace of final repentance; they shall not die under my displeasure, nor without receiving their Sacraments; My heart shall be their assured refuge at that last hour.
