Saint Francis: Troubadour of God's Peace

The son of a prosperous merchant in 12th century Italy, Francis enjoys a carefree life of drinking and carousing with his friends. Yet he is drawn to God, and one day, while he is praying in the church of San Damiano, the crucifix miraculously speaks to him.

“Francis,” Jesus says, “do you not see that my house is falling into ruin? Go, and repair it for me.” In response, Francis gives up everything to follow Christ. Catching his infectious enthusiasm, many young men follow him, beginning a movement that transforms the entire Catholic Church. Actor Leonardo Defilippis brings to life the “Little Poor Man of Assisi” in a one-man production filled with music, joy and deep spiritual insight. Saint Francis: Troubadour of God’s Peace is adapted from the live stage production. Available on Formed.org. (*How to Access)

Discernment of Spirits
Fr. Timothy Gallagher

The Ninth Rule: The Value of Spiritual Desolation

Fr. Timothy Gallagher discusses the Ninth Rule: "There are three principal reasons why we find ourselves desolate. The first is because of our being tepid, lazy or negligent in our spiritual exercises; and so through our faults, spiritual consolation withdraws from us. The second, to try us and see how much we are and how much we let ourselves out in His service and praise without such great pay of consolation and great graces.

The third, to give us true acquaintance and knowledge, that we may interiorly feel that it is not ours to get or keep great devotion, intense love, tears, or any other spiritual consolation, but that all is the gift and grace of God our Lord, and that we may not build a nest in a thing not ours, raising our intellect into some pride or vainglory, attributing to us devotion or the other things of the spiritual consolation."

Be a Man! Audio Book
By Fr. Larry Richards 

In Be a Man!, Father Richards recounts his struggles to learn true manhood, as well as the inspiring stories of others he has served in his decades as a priest. He tells men how to focus on the right goal, how to live as a beloved son of God, of the need to acknowledge one’s faults and to live according to the Holy Spirit, to be a man of true love and of wisdom, to appreciate properly the differences between men and women, to pursue holiness, and to make a difference in the world.

Tears of Christ, audio meditations for Lent

This Lent, your parishioners can enjoy St. John Henry Newman’s Lenten sermons through audio recordings. “Jesus wept, not merely from the deep thoughts of his understanding but from spontaneous tenderness, from the goodness and mercy, the encompassing loving-kindness and exuberant affection of the Son of God for his own work, the race of man.” This precious insight takes us to the heart of the interior life of St. John Henry Newman (1801–1890), from the treasures of which these meditations are offered as a Lenten devotional aid. Drawn chiefly from his sermons and gently modernized, these meditations offer a share in the fruit of his contemplation, that we might better enjoy with him the “one thing which is all in all to us,” which is “to live in Christ’s presence, to hear his voice, to see his countenance.”

On the "Hallow" App - Lent Prayers for 2022

When Ash Wednesday rolls around each year, it can catch us off guard when it comes to our prayer life.  We know Lent is important and that it helps prepare us for Easter. Most Catholics recognize Lent as a solemn period where we repent.  As such, during Lent, we might feel pressure to “up our game” when it comes to prayer. 

The reality is that prayer is important during Lent. Very important. But fasting and almsgiving matter too. So do all the other actions we might take to help us let go of our own desires and align with God’s call for us. God doesn’t call us to pray *longer* during this time. Or prayer “better” — whatever that means. A great starting point for drawing closer to God and improving our prayer life during Lent is simply the desire to improve our prayer life during Lent.
