    A place for anxious hearts

    Luis, an American Catholic, explains how rediscovering his faith, and ‘building a channel’ to share that faith, are two interwoven strands in his life. Hear how Luis uses AI with care, to educate about the gospel, the liturgical seasons and the saints. He is especially concerned to reach those for whom an in-person encounter feels too hard as a first step.

    119: Life is sacramental

    Jacintha shares how her faith has been shaped by important encounters with others, through academic study, nursing, teaching, and now ‘being with’ companion members of the National Board of Catholic Women. Living with a chronic illness, as well as finding joy and beauty, Jacintha’s experiences reach into the messiness and suffering of life. She explains how, on accompanying each other in these moments, she has found that ‘The gaze is widened and you see the face of Christ.’ Find out more National Board of Catholic Women QALY (Quality-Adjusted Life Year) information from UK government A new episode, a different conversation, every Wednesday!Email me: theresa@KindsOfCatholic.co.uk Subscribe on Substack to receive our newsletter and be part of the All Kinds of Catholic Community On Facebook, Instagram, Bluesky X/Twitter @KindsofCatholicThe podcast is kindly supported by the Sisters of the Holy Cross and by CAFOD.Music: Greenleaves from Audionautix.com Get full access to All Kinds of Catholic at allkindsofcatholic.substack.com/subscribe

    118: End of life and bereavement: a crucible of all of life's emotions

    In this conversation, Anne-Marie, a palliative care doctor says that for her, death, while sad, is ‘ultimately not the end of the person’s spiritual life, of the soul.’ She explains what she has found helps to support people who are nearing the end of life, and their families. Anne-Marie shares the questions many people ask when they know ‘time is short’, and how people who are dying can take on a beautiful role, ‘a kind of parting gift to people…working through conversations that they no longer want to shy away from.’ A new episode, a different conversation, every Wednesday!Email me: theresa@KindsOfCatholic.co.uk Subscribe on Substack to receive our newsletter and be part of the All Kinds of Catholic Community On Facebook, Instagram, Bluesky X/Twitter @KindsofCatholicThe podcast is kindly supported by the Sisters of the Holy Cross and by CAFOD.Music: Greenleaves from Audionautix.com Get full access to All Kinds of Catholic at allkindsofcatholic.substack.com/subscribe

    117: We need to help each other become good parents, good Catholics

    The second of a two-part conversation with Roy Peachey. Although he admits being late to recognise our Catholic understanding that ‘parents are the first, the primary, educators of their children,’ Roy explains how his family have benefitted from home-schooling, with the support of others. Inspired by the start of the letter to the Ephesians, Roy unpicks the story of our journey ‘from before the foundation of the world to everything being united in Christ.’ Finally he reads from his latest children’s book about Jack and his ‘very chaotic’ family. A book that makes a link back to Mary’s Meals the wonderful charity where Roy also works.

    116: Letting our testimonies, our lives, be a part of that witness

    The second of our 2-parter from the We Believe festival. Some All Kinds of Catholic pod guests are back! First, behind-the-scenes conversations with Alex, Ethel and Helena, members of the Catholic Podcaster Network, exploring who we are, what we do and why: ‘You can be sat there thinking, Is anyone listening?’ Then a chance to follow along on the mini St Francis pilgrimage, in the 800th year since his death, led by Phil McCarthy. He invited us to walk in silence. We listened to the words of St Francis, on gentle paths through the trees but as you’ll hear, we were never far from the joyful energy of the families at the Festival: ‘The fullness of peace and joy in your Son and in the Holy Spirit forever and ever. Amen.’ Find out more Catholic Podcaster Network Episode 107, Alex, and her Milk and Honey Prayer pod Things I Wish I Knew, podcast produced by Ethel for Thinking Faith, a work of the Jesuits.

    115: When Catholic friends make a good impression

    The first of a two-part conversation with Roy Peachey. Starting out as an Anglican, Roy describes some hard knocks that ‘shook my faith.’ Then he made Catholic friends among teaching colleagues who ‘were very impressive.’ Via hospitality and good conversations at Ampleforth, Roy became a Catholic although at first in a somewhat minimalist way. Now ‘happy to be in,’ Roy describes how his Catholic faith informs his teaching, his writing and his broader understanding of the literature of well-known Catholic authors. Part 1 closes with Roy reading an excerpt of his latest novel for adults. Part 2 of this wide-ranging conversation is out on 26th August.

    114: It was like God said, ‘Yes. You're in the right place.’

    When Paul was received into the Catholic Church at sixteen, he had to ‘abjure all heresies and recite the Nicene creed by heart.’ Then he followed a couple of different paths before sorting out where he thought God wanted him to be. Paul paints icons now and he shares what he knows about making them, and what the complex imagery teaches us about our faith. When he is working on an icon, it is psalms that come into Paul’s mind, ‘the psalms are so, so beautiful…they’re my bedrock.’ Find out more.
