Awakening the Catholic Imaginative Vision

The Religion of the Day

We are living in a highly religious age. Secular gospels and dogmatic faiths promising salvation are all around us. So what is the belief system, the religious vision, that is displacing Christianity as the assumed narrative by which our post-Christian, modern societies live? And what is the religion that we ourselves need to be converted out of if we are to be fully converted to the Christian faith? The Catholic Truth Society, in collaboration with Prime Matters, presents The Religion of the Day, by the University of Mary. PrimeMatters.com is a groundbreaking project of educational outreach of the University of Mary that exists to awaken the Catholic Imaginative Vision.

From Christendom to Apostolic Mission: The Audiobook

In 1974, Archbishop Fulton Sheen declared, "We are at the end of Christendom. Not of Christianity, not of the Church, but of Christendom." For the Church today, the fading of Christendom is an hour of testing, calling us to recover for our age the apostolic mindset and the bright hope of those first Christians of the Cenacle. The Catholic Truth Society, in collaboration with Prime Matters, presents From Christendom to Apostolic Mission: Pastoral Strategies for an Apostolic Age, by the University of Mary.

Interior Life | Ep. 3: Actively Receiving, Actively Rejecting

Just as faith actively receives from God, faith actively rejects that which is not from God. Each of us entertains (and often believes) lies and false images of God and oneself, obstructing our attempts to receive from God. Turning to God involves rejecting that which holds us back from him. Actively receiving and actively rejecting are two sides of the same act of faith. In this three-part series, Msgr. Thomas Richter offers an overarching vision of the Christian interior life.

Interior Life | Ep. 2: Spiritual Bachelorhood

Faith acknowledges the needs of the heart and relates them to Jesus. However, due to original sin, we often sit in self-made aloneness, failing to bring our needs to him. Filled with anxiety and worry, we try to fix ourselves, not realizing that this tendency arises from the often-misunderstood vice of sloth. It’s time we kick the spiritual bachelor out of the basement and open up to Christ in prayer. In this three-part series, Msgr. Thomas Richter offers an overarching vision of the Christian interior life.

Interior Life | Ep. 1: Christian, Not Pagan

As Christians, we need to make sure that we’re getting God right. It is possible to pray for years without a Christian heart, approaching prayer as pagans in Christian clothing. In this reflection, Msgr. Thomas Richter helps to expose the pagan vision of prayer that exists in our hearts in hopes of clearing the way for each of us to encounter God. In this three-part series, Msgr. Thomas Richter offers an overarching vision of the Christian interior life.

Holy Week | Ep. 7: Responding to Our Time with Faith

Much of the Christian journey involves gaining a sense of the big picture: actively interpreting our lives according to the Catholic imaginative vision is essential for the Christian life. In the final days of Lent in the midst of the 2020 coronavirus pandemic, Monsignor James P. Shea delivered a retreat from an empty campus entitled, "From Shadows into the Light: Gaining the Eyes of Faith." Pairing reflections on the gift of faith with Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, these reflections were delivered daily from Palm Sunday through Holy Saturday.

Holy Week | Ep. 6: Taking Stock of the Present Time

The Church is at once changeless and remarkably flexible: while the battle is constant, the terrain on which it is fought changes from one generation to the next.

Shea delivered a retreat from an empty campus entitled, "From Shadows into the Light: Gaining the Eyes of Faith."

Holy Week | Ep. 5: Seeing the Church with the Eyes of Faith

If it is true, as Christians believe, that Christ is incarnate in a Mystical Body, then that Body is the necessary focus of the world's story.

Shea delivered a retreat from an empty campus entitled, "From Shadows into the Light: Gaining the Eyes of Faith."
