Dawn Eden, who last year gave us the great story of her conversion through St. Maximilian Kolbe and G.K. Chesterton, recently returned to Griswold, CT, and we accosted her for another interview which she graciously granted. This time she talks about her studies for her Masters in Moral Theology at Dominican House of Studies in DC  and how they relate to current issues in our society. In particular she refers to the recent debate on Christopher West’s interpretation of Pope John Paul II’s Theology of the Body. She relates what she has found about how morality was taught before and after the Second Vatican Council and how this compares with West’s assertion that Catholic morality was very prudish before the Council. It was this assertion that was the basis for his very controversial Nightline interview where he favorably compared John Paul II to Hugh Hefner, the founder of Playboy, since both, in their own way, saved us from this supposed prudery. Listen to Dawn’s fair, informative analysis of this controversy.

Conferences #138 – Dr. Mark on world events and how they relate to the Lady of All Nations ( 49min) >>> Play

Ave Maria!

Dr. Mark Miravalle speaks at the Shrine of Our Lady of the Island on May 28th, 2011 for the Our Lady of All Nations Prayer Day. He mentions the many astonishing headlines in today’s news.  On one hand there are the many stories reflecting the moral decay and on the other hand the many natural disasters, faltering economy, and the many wars. He makes the link between these two types of headlines, mentioning the fact that God often uses such disasters to wake us up to our moral problems. But further, this was predicted by Our Lady of All Nations through Ida Peerdeman in Amsterdam from 1945 to 1959. Listen as Dr. Mark gives a run down of the many fulfilled predictions from this apparition and how to make sense of world events and how to respond in order to avoid even worse calamities.

Ave Maria!

Homily #130306b ( 12min) Play – Fr. Elias on the importance of the moral precepts, the Ten Commandments of the Old Testament, which are fulfilled by Jesus in the New Testament. All these moral precepts are already written in our hearts but a bit obscured by original sin. The New Testament ends much of the ritual law, but the moral, law encapsulated in the Ten Commandments, are eternal and part of the natural law.

Homily #141122b ( 11min) Play – Fr. Elias reflects on the book of Revelation which the Church focuses on toward the end of the liturgical season because it talks about the end of time. Father combines this with a reflection on the life of St. Cecilia who was a virgin and martyr in the beginning of the Church in the midst of pagan morals and how her love for purity and music and willingness to die for the faith sends a message to us who live closer to the end times when pagan morals are returning.

Homily #150502b ( 24min) Play – Fr. Elias gives the homily for the Marian Day at the Mother of the Redeemer Retreat Center on May 2nd, 2015. He covers the life of St. Athanasius whose memorial is today. The stalwart defense of truth that Athanasius led against the onslaught of the government backed Arian Heresy of the late Roman Empire is analogous to modern push to relativize all morality.

Homily #150823n ( 10min) Play – The subject for the past few Sundays has been John 6, which is all about the Eucharist and how essential is it in order to have the life of Christ within us. Father covers the whole chapter, and observes that many disciples left after this teaching (Father notes this verse is John 6:66), and many Christians still refuse to accept this teaching and its implications for our moral lives. Let us receive this hard teaching of Jesus with faith, saying with Peter, “Master, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.”
