S1 E7: Go to St Joseph
<p>In this episode, we discuss a saint who is particularly beloved by both of us: St Joseph. Although he is easily forgotten due to his lack of speech in Scripture, we share reasons for having a great devotion to St Joseph, such as his courage in the face of Our Lady's unexpected pregnancy, his dedication to work, his obedience to God, and how fruitful prayers to him are known to be. We also consider how loving St Joseph can help us to in turn love Jesus more.<br> <br> Discover prayers to St Joseph, blogs exploring his life, and a selection of books that will help further your devotion to him, head to our St Joseph mini-site: <a href="https://www.ctsbooks.org/stjoseph" target="_blank">ctsbooks.org/stjoseph</a></p> <p>For additional resources on St Joseph and discussion questions based on this podcast episode, head to our website: <a href="//ctsbooks.org/beautifullytold" target="_blank">ctsbooks.org/beautifullytold</a></p> <p><strong>Quote</strong></p> <p>“The Son of the Almighty came into our world in a state of great vulnerability. He needed to be defended, protected, cared for and raised by Joseph. God trusted Joseph, as did Mary, who found in him someone who would not only save her life, but would always provide for her and her child.”</p> <p>(Pope Francis – <a href="https://www.ctsbooks.org/product/patris-corde/" target="_blank">Patris Corde</a>)</p> <p><strong>Final Thought – CCC 532</strong></p> <p>Jesus' obedience to his mother and legal father fulfills the fourth commandment perfectly and was the temporal image of his filial obedience to his Father in heaven. The everyday obedience of Jesus to Joseph and Mary both announced and anticipated the obedience of Holy Thursday: "Not my will. . ." The obedience of Christ in the daily routine of his hidden life was already inaugurating his work of restoring what the disobedience of Adam had destroyed.</p>

S1 E6: Why should I go to Confession?
<p>As Lent approaches and we reflect upon how Jesus died for our sins, it is a perfect time to go to Confession. Many of us are afraid of Confession, however, and we might ask why we even need to go in the first place. In this episode, we share our own experiences with the sacrament, reveal our own fears, and explore the beauty of Confession.</p> <p>For more answers to questions on Confession, and for helpful guides to Confession including step-by-step instructions and an Examination of Conscience, head to <a href="https://www.ctsbooks.org/confession/" target="_blank">ctsbooks.org/confession</a></p> <p><strong>Quote:</strong></p> <p>“Do not be afraid of confession! When one is in line to go to confession, one feels all these things, even shame, but then when one finishes confession one leaves free, grand, beautiful, forgiven, candid, happy. This is the beauty of confession… Go, the priest will be good. Jesus is there, and Jesus is more benevolent than priests, Jesus receives you, he receives you with so much love. Be courageous and go to confession!” (Pope Francis - <a href="https://www.ctsbooks.org/product/the-beauty-of-confession-with-pope-francis/" target="_blank"><strong>The Beauty of Confession With Pope Francis</strong></a>)<br> </p> <p><strong>Final Thought – Luke 15:20-24:</strong></p> <p>But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt compassion, and ran and embraced him and kissed him. And the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’ But the father said to his servants, ‘Bring quickly the best robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet. And bring the fattened calf and kill it, and let us eat and celebrate. For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found.’ And they began to celebrate.</p>

S1 E5: Advent Part 2 - Come, Lord Jesus!
<p>In the final days of Advent, the Church's focus changes to urgent anticipation for the coming of Jesus. As we discuss the temptation to focus on wrapping gifts, preparing Christmas dinner, and last-minute preparations for the day, we look at how to change our focus to the birth of our Saviour, including by praying the O Antiphons each day from 17th December.</p> <p><strong>Quote:</strong></p> <p>“The story of the birth of Christ is not only a symbol… It is the Word of God, alive in us to the extent we are alive in Christ. It took place first in history, it was recorded in Scripture, and through the mystery of baptism it becomes embedded in each of our individual lives and circumstances. It plays itself out anew in human life again and again. Once our eyes are opened to it, we will begin to see it everywhere.”</p> <p>(Katy Carl - <a href="https://www.ctsbooks.org/product/praying-the-great-o-antiphons/" target="_blank"><strong>Praying the Great O Antiphons</strong></a>)</p> <p><strong>Final Thought:</strong></p> <p>“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God... But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his works have been carried out in God.” (John 3:16-18, 21)</p>
