When Caleb met Natalie, he was at a low point in his life. Her relationship with Jesus inspired him to do his own research on the faith. After discovering that the Eucharist really is Jesus, Caleb decided to become Catholic, paving the way for Natalie to do the same. All it takes is one example, one encounter, one conversation to point someone to Jesus. Who will you walk with?

Why A Church?
We uniquely encounter the love of God in the Church Jesus established&nbsp;for us. Jesus didn&rsquo;t simply leave us a message or instructions to follow.&nbsp;Jesus offers us the Church, his Mystical Body, so that through her we&nbsp;may share with him in his divine life. She makes Jesus present to us&nbsp;through a profound, unbreakable, mysterious continuity with him. She&nbsp;offers trustworthy and authoritative teaching, handing on all that God&nbsp;has revealed, and helps us apply it to our lives today. She contains and&nbsp;communicates his grace, manifesting God&rsquo;s love for us and helping us&nbsp;on our earthly pilgrimage to the heavenly Jerusalem. What a gift!

Is this a privilege? Are specific prayers needed when wearing them? Is there some kind of commitment needed with the church to be able to wear them? - Father Agustino Torres, CFR, Solanyi Rodriguez, and Father Patrick Baikauskas, OP In this episode Father Agustino, CFR, Solanyi Rodriguez, and Dominican Friar Father Patrick Baikauskas, OP, vice president of institutional advancement at Aquinas Institute, director of New Priory Press, and a National Eucharistic Revival preacher, go over some of the most common questions and concerns in the Catholic Church regarding veiling. The topic of veiling comes up a lot in Father Torres’ and Solanyi’s ministry to young adults. Historically, veiling in the Catholic Church has been a sign of reverence and an acknowledgement of the sacred. Our discussion will examine the history and theology behind why women always wore veils prior to Vatican II, and why there seems to be a renewed interest in the practice with younger Catholic women. They will even tackle questions about whether there is or isn’t meaning behind veil colors and fashions.Father Agustino Torres Instagram - <a href='https://www.instagram.com/oralecp/?hl=en'>https://www.instagram.com/oralecp/?hl=en</a>Solanyi Rodriguez Instagram - <a href='https://www.instagram.com/solgotsoul/?hl=en'>https://www.instagram.com/solgotsoul/?hl=en</a>Corazón Puro NY Instagram - <a href='https://www.instagram.com/corazonpuronyc/?hl=en'>https://www.instagram.com/corazonpuronyc/?hl=en</a>Corazón Puro Website- <a href='https://www.corazonpuro.org/'>https://www.corazonpuro.org/</a> Fr.

Godsplaining: How Do We Set Things on Fire?

Prayer is essential to the Christian life. It is the most profound expression of a relationship with God that is both vital and personal (see Catechism of the Catholic Church 2558). Prayer is not one-sided. God desires a relationship with us; he initiates this relationship, and when we pray, we respond to him. God doesn&rsquo;t merely want to engage with us at certain times, but at all times. For this reason, Saint Paul says we should &ldquo;pray constantly&rdquo; (1 Thess 5:17). This exhortation doesn&rsquo;t mean that we should be constantly reciting memorized prayers. Instead, we should strive to develop our interior life with God. In our modern age, many people lack an interior life and struggle to hear God&rsquo;s voice. This difficulty may be due to a misunderstanding of the dynamic nature of prayer. Saint John Paul II pointed out that prayer is multifaceted. Prayer is &ldquo;thanksgiving, praise, adoration, contemplation, listening, and ardent devotion,&rdquo; he wrote, and each facet draws us close to God (Novo millennio ineunte, no. 33).
 Every person, regardless of his or her state in life, is called to pray. We must ask ourselves whether we believe that God is personal and desires a relationship with us. Do we believe that God desires to encounter us in prayer and that God thirsts for us? Many people are familiar with liturgical prayer (like Mass) or devotional prayer (like the Rosary) but are unfamiliar with mental prayer, the kind of prayer that helps us develop a deep interior life. During this course, we will explore this dynamic prayer as we respond to God&rsquo;s loving call for a relationship with him.

The Heart of Prayer Study Guide | Session 1

Jesus tells his disciples to &ldquo;abide&rdquo; in him. What does this mean for you? Abiding in God&rsquo;s love is essential for knowing our identity. It is only through God that we can know who we are and our life&rsquo;s mission. Unfortunately, we often allow other factors to form our identity: other people, our job, other responsibilities, the expectations of others. We &ldquo;can only know ourselves truly in the light of God&rdquo; and we abide in God&rsquo;s love through prayer.&nbsp;Understanding our identity involves two kinds of self-reflection. First, we recognize our wounds, selfishness, and the reality of our sin. Second, we recognize that each of us is a beloved creation of God. The pathway to understanding who we are and our call in the world is abiding in a relationship with Jesus, forming our identity within that relationship, and then becoming attentive to the missional call of God. Jesus&rsquo; life followed this same path and modeled it for us.
 What is forming your identity right now? Is it what you do&mdash;your job, family responsibilities, involvement at your parish? Do you abide in Jesus or do you feel a separation? Jesus desires that we abide in him so he might reveal the truth of who we are as beloved sons and daughters so that we may fully and joyfully live our mission in this world.

The Heart of Prayer | Session Two

What's Our Story?
We all love a good story&mdash;from the characters and the twists and turns&nbsp;of a captivating plot to the dynamics of a conflict and the resolution&nbsp;at the end. Perhaps we love stories because they give us insight into&nbsp;ourselves, animating a deeper sense of meaning in our lives. The Bible&nbsp;is the story of God&rsquo;s love for us. It begins with him creating us out of&nbsp;love, redeeming us by that love, and finally transforming us in his love.
This divine author is love&mdash;an exchange of love within the life of the&nbsp;Blessed Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. What a story!

Jesus and the Eucharist Small Group Study 

The goal of prayer is to hear the voice of the Lord and to follow it. In order to do this, God has given the soul spiritual senses, just as the body has physical senses. These spiritual senses allow us to contemplate God deeply and enable us to &ldquo;see,&rdquo; &ldquo;hear,&rdquo; &ldquo;taste,&rdquo; &ldquo;touch,&rdquo; and &ldquo;breathe in the fragrance&rdquo; of God (St. Ignatius of Loyola, Spiritual Exercises, 121&ndash;26). Our imagination is the faculty God created within us that allows us to tap into these spiritual senses. However, it is important to make a distinction in prayer between real imagination and fantasy. Authentic spiritual imagination communicates truth, whereas fantasy seeks selfish consolation. An imagination filled with false images can prevent us from living in the truth and using the senses of the soul fully. For this reason, we need to invite God to heal our imagination through prayer. As we grow in our journey of prayer, these spiritual senses become important in navigating spiritual consolation and spiritual desolation and can enable us to practice discernment of spirits. The discernment of spirits allows us to become aware of these spiritual movements, understand them, and take action accordingly. We can then respond appropriately in prayer and draw closer to God in both states of spiritual consolation and spiritual desolation.

Panelists: Bishop Andrew Cozzens, Tim Glemkowski, Julianne Stanz, Sr. Alicia Torres, FEThe National Eucharistic Congress is not the end of the National Eucharistic Revival but the launching point for the mission. Since the beginning of the three-year revival, a primary goal has been to help the Catholic Church make the missionary conversion she needs to make for our time. The third year of the revival will begin a movement of missionary disciples inspired by the Eucharist. Capturing the spirit and the momentum of our National Eucharistic Revival, we will learn how to live as missionaries going forward, flowing from the Eucharist as the source and summit of the Church’s evangelization mission. This breakout will hear from the founders of the revival and teach both spiritual and practical tools that will help you begin the missionary conversion of your parish.

Rooted in the Eucharist: Living the Mission of the National Eucharistic Revival

Welcome back, everyone! Are you ready to be equipped for Eucharistic Mission? In this opening episode of Season 3 for the REVIVE Podcast, Sr. Alicia Torres and Tanner Kalina discuss “Relationship, Identity, Mission” AKA RIM Before we can really embrace the unique mission God has in store for us, we need to fully embrace our own personal relationship with him. Otherwise, we run the risk of forming our identities around our mission rather than our own sonship or daughterhood of the Father. In this conversation, Sr. Alicia and Tanner encourage you to check out:<ul><li>Hosea 7</li><li>Isaiah 49:15</li><li>1 Peter 5:10</li><li>Henri Nouwen’s 5 Lies of Identity<ul><li>I am what I have</li><li>I am what I do</li><li>I am what people think of me</li><li>I am no greater than my worst moments</li><li>I am no less than my best moments</li></ul></li><li>&amp; this GEM of a quote from St. Bernard of Clairvaux: “The [one] who is wise, therefore, will see his life as more like a reservoir than a canal. The canal simultaneously pours out what it receives; the reservoir retains the water till it is filled, then discharges the overflow without loss to itself ... Today there are many in the Church who act like canals, the reservoirs are far too rare ... You too must learn to await this fullness before pouring out your gifts, do not try to be more generous than God.”</li></ul> If you enjoyed this conversation, please spend a minute and leave us a review and/or copy the link of this episode and share it with a friend!

The episode weaves together many important aspects of college life, the Eucharist, the need for humor, reasons for hope, the harm of smartphones, the root of anxiety, authentic worship, and the breakthroughs that happen when you place the Holy Spirit at the center of all that you do.Fr. Dave tells an incredible story about his visit to a leper colony and the question that played in his head as he prepared for the encounter: “Will you get close to them?” That inner dialogue helped him connect with Jesus’ earthly ministry, where he became man and got close to all of us.Father Dave Pivonka, TOR ’89, became president of Franciscan University of Steubenville in 2019. The prolific Catholic speaker, author, podcaster, and video producer received his bachelor’s from Franciscan University, then earned an MDiv, MA in theology, doctorate in education, and executive juris doctorate. In 1996, he was ordained a priest in the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus Province of the Franciscan Third Order Regular. Before being elected University president, he served in leadership at Franciscan University, including as vice president for Mission and Planning, then as director of the TOR’s Post-Novitiate Formation and the TOR’s Franciscan Pathways.On Blessed are the Joke Makers, each Dude takes on a different personality to address the prompt, “_______, the hit Catholic musical.” The show ends with an improv game of text-message roulette that gives everyone a great final laugh.Follow Fr.

In the penultimate keynote of the 10th National Eucharistic Congress, Chris Stefanick challenges pilgrims to share their faith openly and with love.

Chris Stefanick: Go—The Power of the Gospel

Repetition in prayer is not just a way of praying, but a way of living that continually revisits the places where the Lord is moving in our lives, recognizing there is always more the Lord wishes for us to receive. As we grow in prayer, our prayer also grows in simplicity; learning the art of repetition is vital in growing in both simplicity and depth in prayer.
 The more deeply we move into prayer, the greater intimacy and union with God we can experience. This deepening awareness in our prayer also creates a greater awareness of our sinfulness. This can bring about discouragement, but we must remember that discouragement is not from God. Rather, we must take our awareness of sin into the Sacrament of Reconciliation to receive God&rsquo;s grace.
 We also can begin to make a distinction between deliberate and non-deliberate sins and, through this awareness, understand how to continue growing in our spiritual life. There are three categories of deliberate sin: (a) knowing what is right and wrong, but not caring; (b) wanting at some level to overcome sin, but at a still deeper level not willing to change; and (c) wishing to change but not yet being able to. In order to overcome sin, at any level, we must take the advice of Saint John Henry Newman to watch and pray, noticing when we find ourselves in a near occasion of sin and praying for the grace to overcome sin. Our weakness is a place where God can work powerfully, if we are open to his will and allow it.

Bishop Daniel Flores begins the Encuentro track with a powerful message on how we approach our world.

Bishop Daniel Flores: The Eucharist Transforms Us

From May 17 to July 17, 2024, thousands of our Catholic brothers and sisters walked alongside Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament—publically professing our faith and witnessing to the world that Jesus is a King worth following. The four branches of the National Eucharistic Pilgrimage traced the shape of a cross over our nation, covering over 6,500 miles to bring Jesus to city streets, rural highways, and hungry hearts from every sector of society on his way to the 10th National Eucharistic Congress in Indianapolis. Catch a glimpse of the profound beauty of this pilgrimage through this collection of video content from along the way!

Eucharistic Encounter: Session 2

Suffering is one of the most difficult realities we face in our lives and in our prayer. It forces us to confront the reality of our limits, the broken and fallen world in which we live, and the question of why God allows suffering to occur. We often don&rsquo;t see the value in suffering, but some of the greatest joys in life come through suffering, especially through suffering as a result of self-gift. Real love is self-gift, and real joy comes from giving ourselves to another in love; this is how we can experience great joy even through suffering.
One of the mysteries of the Christian faith is that Jesus did not take away suffering; Jesus did, however, save us from death and reclaimed suffering by making it the way of love. Uniting our suffering to the suffering of Christ on the cross allows us an opportunity to be a part of redemption. In this way, sacrifice and suffering become life-giving and fruitful for the world. This way of suffering is not reserved for the holiest saints, but is meant to be embraced in the ordinary trials of daily life.
 Transforming our suffering into an opportunity to love requires us to know, first, that we are loved. This allows us to avoid turning inward on ourselves and falling victim to the danger of acedia, which is a deep form of spiritual desolation and a sadness toward spiritual goods. Acedia, or sloth, can make it difficult to pray, which in turn requires us to recommit more intentionally to prayer during this time, especially using the ARRR formula.

It may not mean spreading the Gospel in a foreign land or going door-to-door with the Good News&mdash;and it may require overcoming some fears&mdash;but the Lord is asking each of us to step out of our comfort zone and evangelize one-on-one.

During this talk, Mother Olga of the Sacred Heart shares four stories of Eucharistic healing and the power of Christ to heal us and draw us close to him.

Mother Olga: Broken in the Bread of Christ

God is With Us
From the very beginning, God desired to be with his people. From the&nbsp;Garden of Eden to the Exodus, from the tabernacle in the wilderness&nbsp;to the temple in Jerusalem, the God of the universe has chosen to&nbsp;accompany his people and dwell with them. The Sacrament of the&nbsp;Eucharist, as the gift par excellence, is the gift of Christ himself. Under&nbsp;the humble species of bread and wine, there is the sacramental reality&nbsp;of Christ&rsquo;s Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity. God gives himself to us in the Eucharist to give us strength for our journey and to accompany us along&nbsp;our way.

Who is Jesus?&nbsp;
It is without question that no person has changed the world like Jesus&nbsp;of Nazareth. Time is measured from his birth, churches were built to&nbsp;worship him in every corner of the world, cities were named after&nbsp;his followers, and his life has captured countless works of art and&nbsp;literature. Is he a legend, a liar, a lunatic? Or is he who he claimed to&nbsp;be&ndash;God in the flesh? Jesus asked Simon Peter, &ldquo;Who do you say that I&nbsp;am?&rdquo; (Matthew 16:15). He invites us to answer the question too.

Who is Jesus? - Session 2

Mother Adela Galindo invites listeners to imitate Mary in their work as Eucharistic Missionaries in their communities during the final keynote of the 10th National Eucharistic Congress.

Mother Adela: Mary as the Model Eucharistic Missionary

Dios est&aacute; con nosotros
Desde el principio, Dios dese&oacute; estar con su pueblo. Desde el Jard&iacute;n del&nbsp;Ed&eacute;n hasta el &Eacute;xodo, desde el sagrario en el desierto hasta el Templo&nbsp;de Jerusal&eacute;n, el Dios del universo ha elegido acompa&ntilde;ar a su pueblo y&nbsp;habitar con &eacute;l. La Eucarist&iacute;a, como sacramento entre los sacramentos, es&nbsp;verdaderamente Dios presente con nosotros. Bajo los humildes signos&nbsp;externos del pan y el vino, est&aacute; la realidad sobrenatural del Cuerpo y la&nbsp;Sangre de Jes&uacute;s. Dios se nos da en la Eucarist&iacute;a para darnos fuerza para&nbsp;nuestro camino, y para acompa&ntilde;arnos en cada momento del mismo.

Dios está con nosotros - Sesión 5

The deepest and most important movement of prayer is when we speak to the Lord, &ldquo;Let it be done unto me,&rdquo; or &ldquo;Let your will be done&rdquo;&mdash;in Latin, simply, &ldquo;fiat.&rdquo; Mary is the exemplar of this posture in her response to the Archangel Gabriel&rsquo;s announcement that she will conceive and give birth to the Messiah.
 One of the ways we can embrace this movement is through a form of prayer called ARRR&mdash;acknowledge, relate, receive, and respond. This form of prayer allows us to notice our interior affective movements, including our thoughts, feelings, and desires while relating them back to the Lord, receiving God into the deepest level of our hearts, and then responding to this gift. The simple prayer form ARRR allows us to confront struggles we may have in prayer, especially those that arise from psychological, non-spiritual desolation. We can relate difficulties to the Lord while becoming aware of interior realities that may hinder our prayer. The freedom of this prayer allows us to experience God without trying to force an emotional experience or being limited by our burdens or preconceived notions of what we believe prayer should or should not be.

The Heart of Prayer | Session Five

Prayer happens within our hearts. Throughout Sacred Scripture, the &ldquo;heart&rdquo; is frequently referenced as the place of encounter with the Lord. This is not our physical heart, but the &ldquo;heart&rdquo; is a representation of the &ldquo;place of choice,&rdquo; our center, and the deepest reality of who we are. It is within our hearts that we choose life or death. St. Thomas Aquinas referred to this part of the person&mdash;the heart&mdash;as &ldquo;the will&rdquo; and recognized our will as the place in which we choose to love.
 This intimate connection between the heart and love means that to purify the heart is to purify what we love. When we become &ldquo;pure of heart,&rdquo; our loves are well-ordered; we love God above all things, and, thus, we deepen our relationship with God. All the knowledge in the world will not lead to intimacy with Jesus if we do not also purify our hearts.
 As we grow, we experience interior movements of the heart. God speaks to us through these interior movements, and, by becoming attentive to these movements, we can begin to discern spiritual realities in our lives. There are two significant movements in our spiritual life: spiritual consolation and spiritual desolation. These we must understand so that we can properly respond to each movement. To respond requires a healing of our &ldquo;affect,&rdquo; or the emotional movements of our hearts, so we can properly understand how God is speaking to us, free of the disordered lenses we often have in our affective movements. These lenses focus on what others think of us, as well as carry unforgiveness or lie about who we are. We become free of these disordered lenses through prayer, which focuses our hearts on what is true, good, and beautiful while meditating on the Lord.

The Heart of Prayer | Session Four

All spirituality is based on truths that are revealed by God. Knowing and understanding these truths allows us to enter a relationship with him. The five &ldquo;theological presuppositions&rdquo; explored in this session are vital in understanding prayer: 1. God desires a personal relationship with us and actively pursues us. 2. Our prayer is always a response to God. 3. The spiritual life is a work of continual conversion and turning away from sin. 4. Discipleship is submitting our lives to the lordship of Jesus Christ and seeking to do his will in our lives. 5. Any personal experiences in prayer are always governed by the objective spiritual authority of the Church&rsquo;s living Tradition through the Magisterium.
 On this foundation we can then build four dispositions necessary for prayer: 1. We must believe God wants a relationship with us. 2. We must have a clear conscience. 3. We must seek total surrender to God&rsquo;s will. 4. We must desire holiness.
 These truths pave the way for deeper intimacy with God as we grow in our understanding of prayer and the disposition necessary for a divine encounter.
