The Best of the Week

Reconciliations in Rochester (Family Rosary Across America)

You might think about the end of the world and when it will happen. A little scary, huh?



When Jesus was on Earth, did He know the day or hour of the Second Coming? 



Fr. Richard Simon talks to Dario about this and responds by referencing Philippians 2:6-7, explaining that Jesus, despite being the Son of God, willingly set aside some of His divine attributes to take on human form.



Fr. Simon emphasizes that God is love, and Jesus chose to become human to be like us in all things except sin. He clarifies that in His human nature, Jesus did not possess knowledge independent of what the Father revealed to Him. This is why Jesus didn't have omniscience during His earthly life.



Fr. Simon then looks at the profound nature of Jesus' sacrifice, where the all-powerful became powerless, and the all-knowing became dependent on His heavenly Father for knowledge in His human nature. This was an act of great love for humanity.

Did Jesus Know When the World Would End? (Fr. Simon Says)

Patrick Conley has a conversation with Father Anthony Wieck, SJ, discussing the often-daunting task of confronting our faults, sins, and mistakes. Here's what you need to know:



🔍 The Struggle with Sin: Patrick opens up about the human tendency to hide our wrongdoings, a trait that goes back to childhood. He remembers facing consequences as an only child, bringing to mind the balanced mix of justice and mercy from his parents, and how this shaped his understanding of confession and repentance.



🌟 The Divine Perspective: Fr. Anthony Wieck looks at the common practice of comparing our sins to those of others – a "horizontal view" – rather than considering how our actions affect God, a more "vertical" or spiritual perspective.



💡 The Call for a Copernican Revolution in Spirituality: Fr. Anthony uses the metaphor of the Copernican Revolution to show how we often mistakenly place ourselves at the center of our universe, with God orbiting around us. We really need a paradigm shift; we should revolve around God, aligning our hearts and actions with His will.



🔗 Confession as a Relationship with God: Confession can strengthen your relationship with God. Have you received the graces from this powerful sacrament recently? Father reflects on the importance of honesty and vulnerability before God, opening up every aspect of our lives to His loving gaze.



🚀 A Journey Towards Spiritual Magnanimity: He advocates for a 'large soul,' one that is open to receiving God's love and returning it by frequently confessing and aligning ourselves with His heart.



🤔 Overcoming Misconceptions: Do you get overwhelmed and feel like you just can't "get it together?" Patrick raises a common concern about the seemingly impossible standards set by God. Fr. Anthony assures you that recognizing our own limitations is the first step towards seeking God's grace and help. When we come to understand that we can't do it on our own, Jesus can come in and help us to grow beyond what we thought was possible.

Are You in God's Orbit? (The Inner Life with Patrick Conley)

In this episode of The Patrick Madrid Show, Patrick chats with John, a doctor from Orlando, about Martin Luther and his impact on the Catholic Church. Here are the highlights:



👨‍⚕️ John's Question: John talks about trying to bring his Protestant patients, especially Lutherans, back to Catholicism. He suggests that if Martin Luther were alive today, he might return to the Catholic Church, noting that Luther originally respected sacraments and devotions. He wants to know if this was accurate. 



🗣️ Patrick's Take:

Luther's True Intentions: Patrick strongly believes Luther wanted to destroy the Catholic Church entirely, becoming a "fanatical hater" over the years. He thinks using Luther as an example of a potential Catholic isn't helpful since it's just guessing.



Conversion Stories: Instead of focusing on Luther, Patrick recommends sharing stories of people who have recently converted to Catholicism. These real-life testimonies are powerful and relatable, showing how the truth of the Catholic faith transforms lives.



🚫 Luther's Legacy: Patrick calls Luther a "disaster on stilts," driven by personal guilt and scrupulosity, leading to his flawed doctrine of justification by faith alone. This doctrine, Patrick explains, wrongly suggests that righteousness is just "imputed" rather than transforming the person.



📚 Look to the Church Fathers: For effective evangelization, Patrick advises looking at the early Church Fathers and their teachings to show the Catholic Church's authentic foundation and continuity from Christ's time.
