Spiraling Upwards

In honor of the Feast of St. Jerome, today we talk about how to make the daily reading of the Sacred Scriptures an integral part of our life of faith.

In honor of tomorrow's Beatification of Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen, this episode takes a look at that phrase, "Life is Worth Living," which was the title of his radio and television show, and in many ways, the theme of his life.

This episode follows last week's discussion with some practical ideas about how to cultivate an environment in which a constant and regular habit of prayer can grow.

In this episode, we discuss how someone who is living in the world may go about ordering his daily routine so as to put prayer, the communion of mind and will with the living God, in the primary place.

Having discussed the freedom that we have to do whatever we deem good, this episode opens a new topic about the idea of being "busy..." and its implications for our spiritual life.

We conclude our multi-episode conversation about the idea of "Freedom" by bringing our focus to the words of our Lord Jesus in John 8:32, and the idea of slavery to sin, which alone prevents us from being truly free.

Continuing our discussion of freedom, we now deal with the point of contact between our human free will and the voice of divinely revealed Truth.

Continuing last week's discussion on the idea of authentic Freedom, today we discuss the consequences upon faith, and society, of having an inadequate working definition of Freedom.
