@gabrielstcharlesDay 1: LET’S GO!!!!
Feel free to post your reflections here once you’ve checked in!
@joseph_noel_kirenSt. Augustine 1
God be with you, Deus vobiscum, and warm greetings my dear brothers. St. Augustine was a brilliant and accomplished guy, an impressive man in all respects, yet lived in the world, in sin, but through it all he was searching, yearning, burning even, for true fulfillment... He sook it from women, from rhetoric, from prestige and status, but all of them fell short... When he was in Milan one afternoon he encountered, touched and was convicted so powerfully by the true fulfillment, Love itself; a conviction so powerful that it triggered what according to me was the most impactful conversion in Christian history, this man would go on to become a Saint and Church Father and influence Christian thought for all time to come. We will read from and contemplate deeply on his writings in the following days, particularly focussing on his work titled: Confessions.

@the_catechized_coachAre you training too much or too little?
Most Catholics are doing one of two things wrong in the gym. Here’s how to tell which one you are. Training too much looks like: • Joint pain that never fully goes away • You’re tired all the time and but can’t sleep • Mood crashes, irritability, low or momentum • You dread workouts instead of wanting them • Performance is going down despite more effort See the full list in the Fitness Legion!

Not too much or too little. Too much training can be prideful and controlling Too little is sloth cosplaying as balance The goal isn’t to destroy the temple or neglect it. It’s to tend it. Intentionally and Consistently. That’s what stewardship actually looks like. “Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit?” 1 Cor 6:19 If you need a deeper conversation on this topic to make sure you’re doing the right about DM me Balance

@carsmyth_1Happy St. Anthony Feast
Today, 13th June, is the Feast of St. Anthony. Devotion to this saint has been growing steadily across the world. It is said that miracles awaited his word. Such was St. Anthony’s love for God that he became one of the saints most renowned for performing the most number of miracles. He is invoked for the recovery of lost articles, for finding a holy spouse and for many other pious intentions.

l/forum@chrishannaReading the CCC cover to cover
I am currently reading the CCC and I always knew it would be a reference point, but I didn’t expect to keep finding answers to questions I didn’t even know I had. Have you read the CCC? What’s the biggest thing you learned from it? Also, if anyone wants to begin reading it and you’re looking for help understanding it, Lauren from The Catholic Classroom explains a paragraph a day on Instagram/TikTok/YT & FB and it’s been incredibly helpful.

@sunshineThe Cure to Communism
The Holy Face of Jesus devotion, promises to be the answer of ending communism. Through his devotion, we bring reparation to Jesus’s heart sue to blasphemies against Him. And though reparation of His heart, we petition to Him for His Divine Mercy. This is a church approved devotion. One of the most powerful prayers, with 8 promises attached to it. Prayer: “May the most holy, most sacred, most adorable, most incomprehensible and unutterable Name of God be always praised, blessed, loved, adored and glorified, in Heaven, on earth, and under the earth, by all the creatures of God, and by the Sacred Heart of Our Lord Jesus Christ in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar. Amen”

l/fitness@the_catechized_coachHow to train for Endurance
Here are my top recommendations for endurance training. 1. Set a realistic goal - you have to have a goal or some way to measure progress, like your event, this is a marathon not a sprint. 2. Do less than you think you need to - for the first two weeks (if you’re a beginner) do less than you think you should. Build consistency first 3. Choose if you want strength or endurance. -If you want both, train them separately in different seasons or one week of each and then switch 4. Make sure to still lift weights - just because you’re running, swimming, biking doesn’t mean you don’t need strength train Want to know more about endurance training? Shoot me a message!

@alyssaBuilding the Domestic Church
As a kid, I went into Catholic homes and was not impressed at all with the decorations. I know you know what I’m talking about. Dull and “boring”. As an adult I now admire the beauty but I know my child will most likely feel like I did if I decorate our home that way. I’m trying to go above and beyond with decorations and Catholic items that honor what they represent but are objectively beautiful. What are some items in your home that your children like looking at? For example, I have a St. Micheal the Archangel font because there’s something inherently cool about an angel with a sword standing on Satan.

l/wellbeing@the_catechized_coachYour Fitness and Faith are United
Your body and your spirit aren’t divorced from each other, so your Catholic faith and your fitness shouldn’t be either. CCC 364: Explains that the human body shares in the dignity of the “image of God” because it is animated by a spiritual soul. It explicitly states: “Man, though made of body and soul, is a unity.” If it’s in the catechism, it’s good enough for me. Unite your fitness and your faith today.

@breathandboneKingdom of Breath and Bone: Episode 1 - The Mud of the Nile.
"Imagine your fingers permanently stained with the grey, stagnant silt of the Nile, and your back knowing the daily, rhythmic bite of the taskmaster's switch." The script is officially locked, and we are stepping into the studio to begin production on Episode 1 of our immersive audio drama series, Kingdom of Breath and Bone: "The Mud of the Nile." Our focus with this series is entirely on bringing historical narrative to life through rich atmospheric details. We are building a sensory experience that drops the listener straight into the high-stakes reality of the ancient Delta brick pits alongside Eliab, an eleven-year-old boy navigating a brutal system of forced labor. The production is designed to be fully immersive. When you eventually put on your headphones, you will experience the setting firsthand: the violent sloshing of Nile mud, the sharp crack of a whip echoing across the workspace, and the steadying, gravelly whisper of Moses right in your ear. This is a story about resilience, heritage, and the internal strength, given by surrendering entirely to Elohim and required to stand straight when everything around you is designed to wear you down. It is a reminder that character isn't built through a smooth, flawless path, it is forged directly in the center of the struggle. We are tracking the core cast in-house and sourcing the final voices now as the microphones go live. If you like to try your hand at those voices, let me know. Follow along for behind-the-scenes updates from the studio as we bring this world to life. (Head to www.breathandbonemedia.com/contact to join the cohort and follow the journey)

@deborahJesus watched His own disciples walk away…
As I was entering the Church, it was the Eucharist that drew me in. Not as an idea. Not as a symbol. But as a mystery burning quietly at the center of everything. I remember studying John 6 and being completely arrested by the words of Jesus. He does not speak vaguely. He does not soften the teaching. He reaches back to the manna in the desert, to the bread God gave His people in the wilderness, and then He reveals something greater. Not bread for a moment. But Himself. Again and again, He says it. My flesh. My blood. Eat. Drink. Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you. Those words pierced me. And then I came to John 6:66. That was my metanoia moment. Because when many of His disciples heard this teaching, they could not receive it. To Jewish ears, the thought of eating flesh and drinking blood was unthinkable. Unclean. Offensive. Too hard. And they walked away. But what shook me was this: Jesus let them go. He did not chase after them. He did not call them back and say, "Wait, you misunderstood Me." He did not explain it away. He let them leave. And in that moment, I knew I had a choice to make. Would I walk away with the crowd because the mystery offended my understanding? Or would I stay with the Twelve because Truth Himself was standing before me? That was the moment I stopped trying to make Jesus fit into what I could comprehend. That was the moment I realized faith is not standing above the mystery and judging it. Faith is kneeling before the mystery and receiving Him. Because the Eucharist is not a metaphor to be managed. It is not a symbol to be softened. It is Jesus Christ. Body. Blood. Soul. Divinity. Veiled in bread. Given for the life of the world. And once I saw that, I could not unsee it. So I stayed. Not because the teaching was easy. But because He is Lord. And where else would I go?

@lannamarieThe Chaplet of The Divine Mercy Novena
Fifth Day: Today bring to Me THE SOULS OF THOSE WHO HAVE SEPARATED THEMSELVES FROM MY CHURCH,* and immerse them in the ocean of My mercy. During My bitter Passion they tore at My Body and Heart, that is, My Church. As they return to unity with the Church, My wounds heal and in this way they alleviate My Passion. Most Merciful Jesus, Goodness Itself, You do not refuse light to those who seek it of You. Receive into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart the souls of those who have separated themselves from Your Church. Draw them by Your light into the unity of the Church, and do not let them escape from the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart; but bring it about that they, too, come to glorify the generosity of Your mercy. Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the souls of those who have separated themselves from Your Son's Church, who have squandered Your blessings and misused Your graces by obstinately persisting in their errors. Do not look upon their errors, but upon the love of Your own Son and upon His bitter Passion, which He underwent for their sake, since they, too, are enclosed in His Most Compassionate Heart. Bring it about that they also may glorify Your great mercy for endless ages. Amen. Opening Prayers (optional) (Diary of St. Faustina Kowalska, 1319) You expired, Jesus, but the source of life gushed forth for souls, and the ocean of mercy opened up for the whole world. O Fount of Life, unfathomable Divine Mercy, envelop the whole world and empty yourself out upon us. Repeat three times: (Diary, 84) O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fountain of Mercy for us, I trust in you! Our Father Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen Hail Mary Hail, Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen. The Apostles' Creed I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried; he descended into hell; on the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty; from there he will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen. For each of the five decades On each "Our Father" bead of the rosary, pray: V. Eternal Father, I offer you the Body and Blood, soul and divinity of your dearly beloved Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, R. in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world. On each of the 10 "Hail Mary" beads, pray: V. For the sake of his sorrowful Passion, R. have mercy on us and on the whole world. Conclusion Repeat three times: Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world. Closing Prayer (optional) (Diary, 950) Eternal God, in whom mercy is endless and the treasury of compassion inexhaustible, look kindly upon us and increase your mercy in us, that in difficult moments we might not despair nor become despondent, but with great confidence submit ourselves to your holy will, which is Love and Mercy itself. Amen. Or: (Roman Missal, Votive Mass of the Mercy of God) O God, whose mercies are without number and whose treasure of goodness is infinite, graciously increase the faith of the people consecrated to you, that all may grasp and rightly understand by whose love they have been created, through whose Blood they have been redeemed, and by whose Spirit they have been reborn. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

To all my fellow writers, do you ever find yourself writing a story and nearly breaking a tear. Im writing a story about the Nativity of John the Baptist, and its a tear jerker for me today.

l/homilies
@tsn9bffdp45/31 homily
I forgot to ask, what was last Sunday’s homily about at your parish? I just watched Bishop Robert Barron’s homily for last Sunday and it was exceptional. He explained the trinity and our need to understand it in light of salvation. We are all dependent on each person of the trinity. God sent his son to speak to us and the Holy Spirit now guides us into all truth. I’d definitely recommend you watch it. It is titled, The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
