Dan Burke - The Way of Contemplation

To reveal the rich and life-changing mystical tradition of the Catholic Church - this is my passion and the purpose of this channel. Every renewal in the Catholic Church has come through authentic encounters with people who desire to know God and who seek Him in prayer and the interior life. One challenge is that much of what is publically available is either not orthodox, and/or is mixed with non-Christian Eastern spirituality. Our aim here is to draw from the pure well of Catholic tradition - the only safe and truly transformative water of life.

    The Hell Debate: What Jesus Said About Hell

    Talking about hell may make us uncomfortable but Jesus spoke about it often. Our modern culture downplays difficult truths like hell but it's important to face the truth and listen to what Jesus says about it...And he said to them, “Strive to enter by the narrow door; for many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able. When once the householder has risen up and shut the door, you will begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying, ‘Lord, open to us.’ He will answer you, ‘I do not know where you come from.’" Luke 13:23-25

    Authentic Disciples and Fairweather Friends

    Discover the power of fighting for God - reflecting on the suffering of Jesus and the lack of support from his disciples, Dan explores the importance of standing up for one's faith and defending priests who face criticism for upholding church teachings. Key Takeaways: +The 'wicked' are often more active in opposing God than the 'good' are in defending Him. +Real conversion and spiritual depth are measured by the support and defense given to the church’s leaders, especially during controversial changes. +True friendship and discipleship are tested not only in times of harmony but significantly during conflicts and adversity. Notable Quotes: "The wicked are so much more active in fighting against God than the good in fighting for him." "We can't be fair weather friends and be authentic disciples of Jesus." 0:00:00 The wicked are more active in fighting against God than the good in fighting for him. 0:02:26 People are quick to attack priests seeking to make the liturgy more reverent. 0:04:02 The disciples became more deeply converted after the Holy Spirit came. 0:05:31 Do we defend our priests and spread good words about them? 0:07:57 We must fight towards one another, even when offended. 0:09:23 We should be united in Jesus for the sake of His kingdom.

    Importance of Being Raw and Unfiltered with Our Spiritual Director and Confessor

    Dan discusses spiritual transparency, emphasizing the importance of rigorous honesty in the sacrament of confession and spiritual direction because, "the human heart has an infinite capacity for self deception, our minds and hearts are delusion factories." Key Takeaways: +The human heart and mind are prone to self-deception, which affects our self-awareness and can obscure the truth from our spiritual mentors. +To achieve clarity and receive proper guidance, we should approach confessions and spiritual direction with complete honesty, without attempting to manage or filter our emotions. +Pride, vanity, and our natural desire for acceptance can interfere with our interactions with confessors and spiritual directors. +Being direct and transparent with spiritual advisors is essential for fruitful engagements and personal liberation. Notable Quotes: "We have an infinite capacity for self deception." "The human mind and heart is a delusion factory." "Don't ever seek to interpret [mystical experiences]. Just receive and be grateful and move on." "Be bold, be truthful, be unmanaged, be forthright, be unfiltered with your directors and confessors."
