St. Anthony's Tongue

What do we know about our latest pope, Leo XIV? Well, not much! But we can predict a few things from Robert Prevost's choice of name as well as his background. Similarly, let's discuss the issues in politicizing papal figures - and how it leads to losing the supernatural. Join me as we pray for the new pope!

Pope Sylvester II was alleged to be a wizard, necromancer and even allegedly built a brass head that could tell the future. Was this true? Probably not - but let's explore how these myths came into being. This is also part of a Patreon exclusive series.

Join me as we reflect on this life and spirituality of Pope Francis. Here we discuss a few key themes in his work, that I feel, showcase a call to union, mysticism and an increased awareness of God in our lives.

We wrap up our series of the Sorrowful Mysteries and the Saints by diving into the story of St. Therese of Lisieux and seeing what her life teaches us about the Crucifixion, and Redemptive Suffering.

We continue our series on the sorrowful mysteries of the rosary with St. Titus Brandsma. Titus was a Carmelite mystic who was killed in the Dachau concentration camp during WWII. However, alongside his amazing story are rich spiritual fruits especially when it comes to suffering and the Way of the Cross.

Continuing our series on the mystics and the sorrowful mysteries of the rosary. Here we discuss St. Catherine of Siena and the Crowning with Thorns. We discuss Catholic Mysticism, the way of purgation in the Catholic Church and much more!

Over the last few years I have noticed an extreme drop in discussing the internal life, only to be replaced on external fads, masquerading as spirituality. We must be better as Catholic influencers, and return to discussions on prayer, sanctity and the well-being of our soul. Rather than focusing on lifestyle preferences, and outward displays of devotion. Let's discuss these trends and what we can do about them. #podcast #catholicchurch #catholicism #Catholic #Rosary #Apologetics #spirituality #rosary #god #jesus #christ #christianity #mysticism #christianmysticism #saints #evangelization #JesusChrist #OurLady

In this episode we began a small series where we discussing the sorrowful mysteries and align them with stories from the lives of the saints. We begin this series with St. Gemma Galgani, her guardian angel, and how their stories intertwine with Christ's agony in the garden.
