Our lives are more intertwined than we can ever realize on earth. Yet how much more is CHRIST'S life—and his suffering—linked to ours.

43: We Are Far Closer Together Than We Know (Colossians Up Close, pt. 7)

Jesus does not want greatness. He wants smallness. Just ask John the Baptist—and Mary.

15: The Courage to Be Small

We live in an age where treasures are frequently rediscovered and brought back into the light for further examination and appreciation. Such is the work of Ida Friederike Görres’s <a href='https://ignatius.com/john-henry-newman-jhnp/'>John Henry Newman: A Life Sacrificed</a> which gives us a compelling and detailed introduction to the life and personage of Saint John Henry Newman. This work is perfect for those who are unfamiliar with John Henry Newman and for those who are avid Newman devotees and wish to gain a deeper knowledge and appreciation of this modern-day saint.
In this episode, Andrew Petiprin talks with Jennifer Bryson about her translation of Ida Friederike Görres’s John Henry Newman. This wide-ranging and engaging conversation touches not only on Jennifer’s own conversion from Marxism to Christianity but also on the importance of rediscovering Ida Görres and what insights this work can offer into the life of John Henry Newman.

Jennifer Bryson: Rediscovering Saint John Henry Newman and Ida Görres

Are you a priest or discerning a vocation to the priesthood or know somebody who is discerning? Then this is the book for you—“Distributed Like Bread”  (pre-order for release at 3.2.26) https://ignatius.com/distributed-like-bread-dlbp/?searchid=0&search_query=distributed

Hans Urs von Balthasar is well known for his great contributions to theology, but few know of his practical thoughts on priesthood and discernment. Therefore, in today’s episode, Dr. Jonathan Ciraulo and Andrew Petiprin discuss Fr. Balthasar and how he integrated his scholarly life and his priestly vocation. Dr. Ciraulo points out that Fr. Balthasar never received any formal education in theology beyond his time at the seminar and he sought to remain a student chaplain instead of an academic position. This kept him grounded in his theology and uniquely fit to guide priests and those in the process of discernment. 

Dr. Ciraulo highlights Fr. Balthasar’s humility, his intellectual curiosity, and his openness to God. They also discuss Balthasar’s thoughts on priestly celibacy and donatism—the heresy that claims that validity of the sacraments depends on the virtue of the priest. This insightful discussion and corresponding book “Distributed Like Bread” will truly help give all people a greater appreciation for this supernatural vocation.

It is often said that one can find God in nature, but few have explored the theology behind such a common statement. Join us as Fr. John Nepil talks with Andrew Petiprin about the theological lessons and underpinnings of mountain hiking, which he details in his new book To Heights and Unto Depths. This book and the ensuing conversation artfully weave together theological insights and real-world experience.
 
Fr. Nepil and Andrew examine the spiritual benefits of the outdoors, both the joys of reaching the summit and the lows felt during arduous hours hiking. They also discuss the modern crisis of manhood, the responsibility of leadership, and how the works of theologians such as Von Balthasar, Cardinal Ratzinger, and Luigi Giussani can reveal spiritual wisdom found on the trail. For those who love the outdoors or theology, this episode is a must watch!

There are a variety of opinions among Catholics when it comes to Halloween and horror stories such as Dracula. Some avoid such things altogether, while others consume such content without hesitation. Eleanor provides a nuanced position as both a mother and the author of the mystery-thriller “A Bloody Habit.” She not only gives guidelines on what kind of things we should avoid, but also how Catholics can use Halloween and gothic novels to enliven their faith.

Should Catholics Celebrate Halloween and Read Horror Stories? w/Eleanor Nicholson

Is beautiful sacred art a thing of the past? Is it impossible for contemporary artists to inspire the kind of reverence and devotion for sacred subjects that the artworks of great masters have done for centuries?
The Catholic Home Gallery is an answer to these questions—a collection of eighteen artworks by contemporary artists that embody the richness of the Catholic artistic tradition with fresh creativity and insight. Gwyneth Thompson-Briggs, one of the nine artists featured in the book and our guest for this episode, is passionate in her belief that not only is it possible to regain the wisdom and skills of previous centuries of sacred artists—many of which have been lost or sorely neglected in recent times—but that there is an urgent need to do so in the Church today.
In her conversation with host Andrew Petiprin, Thompson-Briggs discusses why sacred art should not be considered a luxury item or reserved only for a privileged elite, but should rather be incorporated into the spiritual formation and life of every Christian. She also talks about her own work as an artist, the importance of bringing sacred art into the home, and some of the other artists working today whose work she admires.

In this emotional interview (from the FORMED BOOK CLUB Podcast), Father Fessio tells the story of his long-time mentor, the great Cardinal Henri de Lubac, S.J., whom John Paul II, Benedict XVI, and Francis have all cited as a major influence.  De Lubac's cause for canonization is currently being opened by the bishops of France.

"A Manifesto of the New Traditionalism", published on the Gaudium et Spes 22 blog on December 22 (https://gaudiumetspes22.com/blog/a-manifesto-of-the-new-traditionalism), was co-authored by Sean Domencic, Larry Chapp, and Marc Barnes. Written "Catholic Worker perspective but with an eye toward the broader Church," it addresses four major topics: the nature of the Church, the philosophy of St. Thomas Aquinas as "a foundation for the valuable 'New Theologies'", how the "natural law and the preferential option for the poor have been united in Catholic Social Teaching", and how the "necessary Liturgical Renewal was begun, betrayed, and left unaccomplished".
Dr. Chapp recently spoke with Catholic World Report editor Carl E. Olson and Mark Brumley, president of Ignatius Press, about the manifesto.

Like many Christians, Matthew Wiseman’s family was in search of the original or purest form of Christianity, which was most faithful to the way that the apostles and early Christians lived and practiced the faith. Originally Baptists, they discovered the Hebrew Roots movement, and they lived for many years in strict adherence to Torah. However, after studying the Bible and the Church fathers, Matthew converted to Anglicanism and eventually to Catholicism. Only in the Catholic Church did he find the one faith and the fullness of the truth that he had been searching for.
In this episode, Andrew Petiprin talks with Matthew Wiseman about his new book Two Jeusalems and the key moments of Matthew’s conversion story. Their conversation highlights the beauty of our Catholic faith, which safeguards the teachings of Christ and sacred traditions that date back to ancient Israel.

Falling in love with the Music of Christendom

There is a close connection between growing in the virtues and growing in friendship and community with others. In his latest book, "The Art of Living: The Cardinal Virtues and the Freedom to Love," best-selling author Dr. Edward Sri demonstrates that the virtues are the basic life skills we need to give the best of ourselves to God and to the people in our lives. A consummate teacher, Dr. Sri shows in this book how the practice of the virtues gives us the freedom to love.

Fr. Fessio explains the third dimension of the Mass—the personal dimension—using the events on the road to Emmaus.

The Mass is Personal

Don't let sin stop you from praising Jesus. Saint Peter DENIED GOD and lived to preach about it.

55: The Art of Moving On

Fr. Fessio explains the only Greek phrase we say at Mass.

Why Do We Say “Kyrie Eleison, Christe Eleison”?

Jesus' parable of the treasure buried in the field:  What is this treasure? Well, what if WE are that treasure, and God "sells all he has" to get US?

Recently, Fr. Fessio was deceived by A.I. and warns people about trusting these programs.

116: Should You Trust A.I.?

Fr. Fessio explains one of the fruits of his morning reflection on the simplicity of God. Father’s analogies are very helpful for understanding how an omniscient and omnipotent God can also be simple.

We talk to novelists K.V. Turley and Fiorella De Maria about their new thriller, "This Thing of Darkness," in which a journalist and war widow is assigned to write a "star profile" of the fading actor Bela Lugosi, made famous by his role as Count Dracula. During a series of interviews, Lugosi draws her into his mysterious past, gradually revealing the link between Old World shadows and the twilight realm of modern horror films.
"This novel's deft blend of fantasy and chilling realities presents a warning about where pride and willfulness can lead, especially when combined, in the beginning, with the subtler seductions of the occult that lead step by step into spiritual and mental territory of utmost peril." — Michael D. O’Brien

Canonization of Carlo Acutis and Pier Giorgio: Learn More About Today’s Saints

If someone looked at the way you live your life, would they say, “That’s a person who is seeking Christ?” While many Catholics might be able to give personal or intellectual reasons why they practice their Faith, how many really allow the interior conversion necessary for a relationship with Christ to shine through in their daily lives? How many have essentially adopted a secular way of living?
These challenging questions are at the heart of Edward Sri’s new book, “What Do You Seek?”, out now from Ignatius Press and the Augustine Institute. In this episode, Dr. Sri speaks with your host, Andrew Petiprin, about the necessity of coming to know and love Christ, and not just facts about the Catholic Faith—important as those may be—in order to share the Gospel with others.

Debunking Christmas Myths and Celebrating the Birth of Jesus w/ Dr. Michael Barber

In this episode, Fr. Fessio discusses the forgiveness we receive at every Mass.

Why God Forgives Us at Mass

While this motto is often used to encourage people to lie, Father Fessio argues that this a noble way to “fake it until you make it.”

85: Fake It Till You Make It

In a world grown cold without wonder, how do we reimagine the drama and joy of Christianity? For C.S. Lewis, the answer was to invite us into a different world that would help us see this one with fresh eyes. In this episode, Paul Senz talks with Leonard J. DeLorenzo, editor of “Chronicles of Transformation: A Spiritual Journey with C.S. Lewis,” a unique volume that explores the beloved terrain of Narnia with insightful essays, moving poetry, and original new artwork.

Earlier this year, Dr. Francis Beckwith was appointed to a select board of scholars to advise the Trump administration on national efforts to protect and advance religious Liberty.
Dr. Beckwith is a professor of philosophy and Church-State studies at Baylor University, and today he joins Mark Brumey to discuss religious liberty and Vatican II. The two examine “Dignitatis Humanae” and whether or not this declaration, this document, was a development or a departure from the Church’s stance on religious liberty. Dr. Beckwith explains the political role that the Church has played in history and its current place in modern politics. Finally, they discuss the challenges religious liberty faces today. This is a must-watch episode, not because of its depth of thought, but also because of its timeliness and relevance.
