  • Want to “Experience” God?
    Sep 30 2024
    NOTE: The new 2025 Mary journal I spoke about in this episode will be out in a few weeks at Advent. Until then, you can download a free 2024 journal and guide page in the margin to the right. The book I mentioned in the podcast that I wrote with Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers, Ignite, Read the Bible Like Never Before, is also available in the right margin. This is a re-released, vintage podcast from 2017, but the complete resource on LOVE the Word® is How to Pray Like Mary, available in the right margin, in which you'll learn to approach Scripture and lectio divina with a more open and receptive disposition versus a checklist mentality. ___ Prayer is about relationship, not technique. St. Jerome said ignorance of Scripture is ignorance of Christ. We pray Scripture, daily, in order to nurture a relationship with Him, to know Him, His purposes, and His ways; to experience Him. From beginning to end, prayer is about LOVE. If you've never experienced God's love, here's how to begin. Mary shows you how.

What We Discussed | Show Notes “In an address in St. Peter’s Square, Pope Francis once compared our ability to hear the voice of God with that of the Blessed Mother and her kinswoman Elizabeth. ‘What gave rise to Mary’s act of going to visit her relative Elizabeth? A word of God’s angel. “Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son . . .” (Lk 1:36). Mary knew how to listen to God. Be careful: it was not merely “hearing” a superficial word, but it was “listening,” that consists of attention, acceptance and availability to God. It was not in the distracted way with which we sometimes face the Lord or others: we hear their words, but we do not really listen. Mary is attentive to God. She listens to God. ‘However Mary also listens to the events, that is, she interprets the events of her life, she is attentive to reality itself and does not stop on the surface but goes to the depths to grasp its meaning. Her kinswoman Elizabeth, who is already elderly, is expecting a child: this is the event. But Mary is attentive to the meaning. She can understand it: “with God nothing will be impossible” (Lk 1:37). ‘This is also true in our life: listening to God who speaks to us, and listening also to daily reality, paying attention to people, to events,

  • 01 Ep#511 How Do I Hear God Speak?
    Sep 23 2024
    NOTE: The new 2025 Mary journal I spoke about in this episode will be out in a few weeks at Advent. Until then, you can download a free 2024 journal and guide page in the margin to the right. I mentioned Unleashed in this re-released, vintage podcast from 2017, but the complete resource on LOVE the Word® is How to Pray Like Mary, available in the right margin, in which you'll learn to approach Scripture and lectio divina with a more open and receptive disposition versus a checklist mentality. ___ Pope Francis called Mary the “mother of listening,” because she didn’t just hear God's word (in our case read, also), she understood how to interpret it in light of her own relationships, circumstances, and habits. Pope Benedict XVI called Mary the "mother of prayer." She is our model for listening to God by praying with Scripture in a way that incarnates it within us. Modeled on the Annunciation, LOVE the Word® is lectio divina (sacred reading) without the Latin, a prayer method with Scripture that invites our Blessed Mother to guide us in her own personal “listening” practice: L – listen, O – observe, V – verbalize, E – entrust. We learn to listen to and hear God speak like Mary, from Mary. She teaches us to interpret the word we hear and read through the landscape of our lives.

And the angel came to her and said, “Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with you!” But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and considered in her mind what sort of greeting this might be. And the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus. We’ll have to speculate here…How would you connect the angel’s visit to the word you received, and to Elizabeth’s pregnancy? V | Verbalize (Pray about your thoughts and emotions.)

  • 06 Ep#510 The Sword of the Spirit Is the Logos
    Aug 26 2024
    The Word of God is the Logos (Jn 1:1-18) - a Person, not a book. Creation is a "book of God's words" brought forth through the wisdom and Person of the Logos. Now, in the spiritual new creation, the Logos gives Himself to us as "seed" and "food" in Scripture and Eucharist, which together are the "one table of the Lord" (CCC 103). Mary, created to be the Seat of Wisdom, shows us how to LOVE the Word so that the Logos is incarnated in us, and we can offer Him to the world with her in wielding the sword of the Spirit that defeats the enemy. Thank you with all my heart to my newest Friend of the Show, Therese P, Lisa D, Kathy S, Lynne MacL, and Cheri M, for loving and lifting me! :) Friends of the Show get all Premium Content!

Is Jesus as the Logos a new concept for you? How does the relationship between creation, wisdom, and the Person of Christ draw forth your own purpose and the meaning of your life on a daily basis? Or does it? Do you have a habit of praying with Jesus through the daily readings? What did the Holy Spirit say to you about that through this episode?
