Catholic-Link Podcast Catholic-Link

In this episode of the Catholic Link podcast. Fr. Rob and Fr. George discuss modesty as a understanding of the median and of time and place. Modesty is a virtue which means that modesty involves finding the median between two extremes. Modesty also encompasses many areas of life from clothes to behavior. St. Thomas Aquinas focuses on behavior and politeness. Fr. Rob and Fr. George distinguish that to dress or behave modestly involves a proper understanding of the time, place, culture, and situation one finds themself in. One would not behave or dress the same way at a beach and a wedding. Discernment of time and place is important to know how to dress modestly. A Victorian Englishman would not dress the same as our contemporary Englishman either.



Listen to the previous episode where Fr. Rob and Fr. George discussed how one can pray with Scripture. Fr. Rob shares the Benedictine method, commonly known as Lectio Divina for scriptural prayer. Lectio Divina is Latin for Divine Reading. In Lectio Divina, one chooses a short passage and meditates and contemplates what stuck out to them. Fr. George shares the Carmelite method where one rereads a scripture passage to become familiar with it. They then examine the passage from different perspectives. Finally, they move into meditation, then contemplation. As a bonus, they discuss the Jesuit method of scriptural prayer where one imagines themselves as a witness in the passage’s story.

Listen to the previous episode where Fr. Rob and Fr. George discussed the role the Holy Spirit plays in the Sacraments. More specifically, Fr. Rob focuses on the role of the Spirit in Scripture readings during the Sacraments. They emphasize the impact having a personal view of Scripture can have. One can use scripture to pray and understand that God speaks to them through the Scriptures and it is a fulfillment of God’s promise to send the Spirit and then save God’s people. We build trust with God as we encounter him in Scripture and the Sacraments of the Church. Perhaps this coming week, pray with Scripture using the Lectio Divina method.

Listen to the previous episode where Fr. Rob and Fr. George discussed the Solemnity of Pentecost. The gift of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost gave the Apostles and other disciples new courage. Famously, all the Jews from around the known world understood the Apostles despite the language barrier. Fr. Rob and Fr. George compare this event to the Tower of Babel in Genesis. Without a desire to know God, the builders of the Tower no longer understood each other’s language. Now, with the Holy Spirit’s guidance, the Catholic Faith is able to spread around the world. In our own lives, we too are called to allow the Spirit to work through us for his glory.

Listen to the previous episode where Fr. Rob and Fr. George discussed thoughts about Christian TikTok and social media at large. Fr. Rob recovered from COVID and spent a lot of time on TikTok and he shares some of what he found. He encourages social media users to understand that not everything on the internet is true. Fr. Rob discusses how living the Gospel faithfully is more important than preoccupying oneself with hot-button issues that divides our Church. That is not to say that those issues are insignificant. It is to say, rather, that we each have a particular role in the Church and we should remain faithful to that role so the whole body can flourish.

Listen to the previous episode where Fr. Rob and Fr. George discussed discuss the role of the Holy Spirit within the economy of salvation. As Pentecost approaches, it is important to address this person of the Trinity's role in salvation. Fr. Rob and Fr. George distinguish the ultimate Fruits of the Spirit with the accidental gifts of the Spirit. While one may have particular charisms associated with the Holy Spirit that manifest in a particular way, the presence of the Holy Spirit cannot be denied where there is love, peace, and charity.

Listen to the previous episode where Fr. Rob discussed a way to meditate on the Book of Revelation. Some people read Revelation and try to map world history or current events onto what they read. Fr. Rob proposes another meditation of the book. He suggests that we read Revelation as a foretaste of the Heavenly Liturgy that the Saints and angels participate in. Further, in the book, the Risen Christ is aware of the events in his Church. So, we can take courage and peace knowing that Christ knows and is in control of what is happening now. Lastly, yes, the Book of Revelation contains information about the End Times. Fr. Rob proposes that we focus less so on what is happening around us that may signal the End Times. Rather, he suggests we reflect on the mystery that the world will end and all will be fulfilled in Christ with his glory.
