Retirement and Capitalism

Fr. Jacob and Fr. John were able to get together in person for a quick episode to celebrate CSYSK’s 700th episode and they are even interrupted with a surprise interjection from the one and only Fr. Mike. Fr. Jacob leads Fr. John in a discussion considering the fruits of a creative life and co-creating with God the Creator.

Fr. Sean and Fr. John sit down with Bo Brustkern, Executive Director of Creatio, for a conversation on the beauty of creation and its essential place in our life of faith. Together, they explore Creatio’s mission and how encountering creation can draw us deeper into God’s presence.

Fr. Sean and Fr. Jacob dive into the four senses of Scripture—literal, allegorical, moral, and anagogical—and explore how they impact the way we interpret and pray with the biblical text.

The first of Father John’s fall series on A.I., Father Jacob and he take up the question from the perspective of the uncontrollability of the world. Unpacking the thought of Harmut Rosa and bringing Von Balthasar to bear, they seek to understand the contours of “resonance,” in place of the illusion of an engineered reality.

Inspired by Fr. Sean’s recent ministry in retirement homes, he and Fr. John reflect on the challenges and heartache that come with retirement and the deep value of staying connected to loved ones.

Join Fr. Sean and Fr. Jacob as they explore what it truly means to be disciples of Christ—not just within the walls of our parish, but out in the world. Be inspired to win, build and send for Christ.

Join Fr. Jacob and Fr. John as they explore life through the lens of Ignatian spirituality, inspired by the First Principle and Foundation. They focus on the importance of knowing our true end and how it can shape and direct our life.

Join Fr. Sean and Fr. John as they reflect on the heart of a Catholic wedding preparation, inspired by the insights of Cate (Spesia) Wisnieski. In a world where the wedding industry often overshadows the true meaning of the celebration, Cate offers a few thoughtful and faith-filled things to consider when planning a wedding with the Sacrament of Marriage at its center.

In Fr. Mike's penultimate episode, Frs. John and Mike explore the distinctive anthropological phenomenon of the face - why we look for it and how it constitutes the fundamental experience of human life. Viewed from the lens of Dante's love of Beatrice, the face (or antlitz for Balthasar) expresses not only the fullness of the person, but truly the inner life of God. With an "homage" to Fr. John's mom, this podcast concludes with a glimpse into the Marian heart of the Church.

Fr. Sean and Fr. Jacob discuss the significance of Pentecost finding its roots in the Jewish Feast of Weeks. There were three traditional pilgrimage feasts for the Jewish people and one of them, the Feast of Weeks, which coincided with the barley harvest, took place 50 days after Passover. How does Pentecost fulfill the handing on of the law?
