My Amen | Mary Wilson shares the definition of Amen from different sources. It means, ‘It is so, so be it.’ To say ‘Amen’ to something expresses strong approval or support for an idea | #christianpodcast #podcast #catholicpodcast #catholicpriest #testimony #CatholicTestimony #MyAmenMaryWilson #MyAmen #MaryWilsonMy Amen

My Amen by Mary Wilson shares the definition of Amen from different sources. It means, ‘It is so, so be it.’ To say ‘Amen’ to something expresses strong approval or support for an idea. It also means,’ truly or true, I believe.’ Jesus, himself, is called the ‘Amen’, the one who is faithful to his word. It is frequently used in scripture, doxologies, the Eucharist, and at the end of prayers. It is used to add a solemn affirmation. It is a Hebrew word. The Lord himself often uses it in the Gospels. It shows God’s faithfulness toward us in his promises and our trust in him. Through him, with him, and in him, to the glory of God the Father. Amen.

Mary Wilson serves on the (CST) Central Service Team of the Magnificat Ministry as Secretary.

The Seven Sorrows of Mary

A Production of the Ultimate Christian Podcast Network.

The Seven Sorrows of Mary | Deacon Dave reflects on Our Lady of Seven Sorrows celebrated on September 15th. Just as Mary is the mother of Jesus, she is mother to all his followers, she is mother to us, especially the mothers of today | #christianpodcast #podcast #catholicpodcast #catholicpriest #testimony #CatholicTestimony #TheSevenSorrowsofMaryDeaconDave #TheSevenSorrowsofMary #TheSevenSorrows #DeaconDaveThe Seven Sorrows of Mary

The Seven Sorrows of Mary. Deacon Dave reflects on Our Lady of Seven Sorrows celebrated on September 15th. Just as Mary is the mother of Jesus, she is mother to all his followers, she is mother to us, especially the mothers of today. St. Louis de Montfort said, “if you put the love of all mothers into one heart it still would not equal the love of Mary for her children.” The seven sorrows are: 1. The Prophesy of Simion 2. The Flight into Egypt 3. The Loss of the Child Jesus 4. Mary Meets Jesus on the Way to Calvery. 5. The Crucifixion of Jesus 6. The Body of Jesus taken down from the Cross. 7. The Burial of Jesus.

The Blessed Mother knows the sorrow of today’s mothers. She connects with them heart to heart. Mothers of today can turn to Our Blessed Mother in both their joys and their sorrows.

DEACON DAVID HOCKWALT was ordained a Permanent Deacon in the Diocese of San Bernardino in 2012. He continues in active ministry today and is the spiritual advisor to the vicariate Life in the Spirit team.

We pray that today may be a special day in your life as you experience the presence of Jesus Christ among us through this reflection. Magnificat, taken from Luke: 1, is the great hymn of praise that Mary prayed while visiting her cousin, Elizabeth. We trust that this reflection will help us all better understand that we are truly children of God, made in His image and likeness. We want to come together in God’s presence and proclaim that the Almighty has done great things for you and me and holy is His Name!

Testimony of Carla Comer

Testimony of Carla Comer | Carla Comer was raised Catholic and attended Catholic parochial schools through High School. During high school, she suffered from depression and rebelled against God | #christianpodcast #podcast #catholicpodcast #catholicpriest #testimony #CatholicTestimony #TestimonyofCarlaComer #CarlaComerTestimony of Carla Comer

Testimony of Carla Comer. Carla Comer was raised Catholic and attended Catholic parochial schools through High School. During high school, she suffered from depression and rebelled against God. Carla went to college, dropped out after a year, and came back home. Her mother was a devout Catholic and Rosary prayer. Carla’s mother attended charismatic prayer meetings, and Carla began to get curious about them because her mother exhibited so much joy. Carla ended up reading a book that her mother’s friend wrote, and it was precisely what Carla was experiencing.

Carla became friends with the mother’s friend and was introduced to the bible, and soon she too would start attending the prayer meeting. Carla received the baptism of the Holy Spirit, and her life was transformed. She finished college and had a great job. She met her future husband and had two boys. She shares her mother’s declining health and the miracles that occurred. Her favorite verse was Proverbs 3:4-6, and it carried her through some tough times, but her faith remained strong as her mother led her to the Blessed Mother, and she finally picked up that Rosary and began to see the graces unfold.

Pat Crowley

Teaching Reflection from Fr. Pat Crowley. Magnificat is about witness, sharing their stories. Our story brings us deeper into the mystery of God’s love. As we ask the Blessed Mother for guidance, Mary helps move the freshness of the Spirit manifested in our lives into a deeper intimacy with Jesus.

Fr. Crowley shares how his experience in Medjugorje had a profound effect on him.  He listened to many confessions and saw many transformations. He shares how he was introduced to the baptism of the Holy Spirit in his priesthood and explains how the baptism of the Holy Spirit is an extension of one’s infant baptism. The Holy Spirit rekindles the fire within each of us.  Fr. Crowley reminds us to never underestimate the power of the Holy Spirit.

Father has been actively involved in healing ministry within the Charismatic Renewal since 1972. Since that time, he has been an eyewitness to many spiritual, physical, and emotional healings. God has used him as a most powerful instrument of His healing love.

Fr. Pat Crowley, CC.SS., (Congregation of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and Mary), is the Spiritual Advisor for the North County San Diego Chapter of Magnificat.

Testimony of Stacey O’Rourke | Stacey O’Rourke is a cradle Catholic. She received all her sacraments, but her family were not big church goers. She grew up in a dysfunctional household as both parents were alcoholics. She also became an alcoholic at an early age | #christianpodcast #podcast #catholicpodcast #catholicpriest #testimony #CatholicTestimony #TestimonyofStaceyO’Rourke #StaceyO’RourkeTestimony of Stacey O’Rourke

Stacey O’Rourke is a cradle Catholic. She received all her sacraments, but her family were not big church goers. She grew up in a dysfunctional household as both parents were alcoholics. She also became an alcoholic at an early age. This spiraled her into unhealthy relationships and activities and failed marriages. After her sobriety she went back to church and found support through her church family. She discovered Charismatics within her parish and became very intrigued.

Stacey received the gift of the Holy Spirit, and her life began to have meaning, and purpose. People would come to her and ask for prayer. She got very involved in Ministries within the Church and worked in a Catholic bookstore. It took her a long time, but she was finally able to forgive her mother. Stacey was the caregiver of her father in his last years and brought him to Christ before he passed away. The Lord kept bringing angels into her life that would help her and her family with all their daily living needs. She has two grown daughters from her marriage of 25 years and seven grandchildren. Her story is compelling and miraculous in many ways.

A Reflection on Sending out Laborers Matt. 9:32-38 By Deacon David Hockwalt. What does the heart of God look like? Jesus is the perfect embodiment of God’s heart. Matthew tells us his heart was moved with pity as he surveyed the crowds before him. He had compassion that sprang out of profound love. Jesus knew that he would one day return to the Father and that his ministry needed to continue on earth. The harvest is abundant, but the laborers are few. Jesus is referring to the harvest of evangelization. Pray for men and women who will dedicate themselves to the harvest.

DEACON DAVID HOCKWALT was ordained a Permanent Deacon in the Diocese of San Bernardino in 2012. He continues in active ministry today and is the spiritual advisor to the vicariate Life in the Spirit team.

We pray that today may be a special day in your life as you experience the presence of Jesus Christ among us through this reflection. Magnificat, taken from Luke: 1, is the great hymn of praise that Mary prayed while visiting her cousin, Elizabeth. We trust that this reflection will help us all better understand that we are truly children of God, made in His image and likeness.

In his testimony he focuses on three questions, why am I here?| #christianpodcast #podcast #catholicpodcast #catholicpriest #testimony #DeacnJohnBialorucki #CatholicTestimonyTestimony of Deacon John Bialorucki

Testimony of Deacon John Bialorucki. John Bialorucki is a Deacon in the Huron Diocese. He entered the Deaconate late in life. Deacon John finished a five-year program at the age of 65. In his testimony, he focuses on three questions, why am I here? Where am I going? How am I going to get there? He answers the 2nd question first.  We are going to heaven. He accomplished getting his wife to heaven by her constant prayers for him. In his early life, he was searching.  He wanted a good life, job, and family.

John says, “We are all looking for happiness.”

In the seventh grade, he pondered entering the priesthood but was not mature enough. He went into the Navy instead.  When he left the service, he married his high school sweetheart. The Deaconate program taught him how to pray, learn scripture and apologetics, and turn his life into more faith-filled ways. Why am I here? I am here to serve.  Serving at St. Peter’s has taught him to pray now! He also learned how to surrender to the spirit. We need to step out; we need to evangelize; we need to pray for each other.

Testimony of Shannon Austin. Shannon focuses on three areas of her life, how life shaped her, how she helped and hindered God’s plan for her and how God showed up even when she didn’t. Shannon grew up in Louisiana. She was an only child from a broken home. Her father came back from the Service a changed man from all the trauma he experienced which caused a troubled marriage. Her parents divorced when she was very young. Shannon and her mother moved into her grandmother’s home.

The Choices We Make

A Reflection on The Choices We Make Matt. 7:12-14 By Deacon David Hockwalt

The Choices We Make. This gospel is about choices. The choice to live a life of their pagan occupiers or according to Jewish law and faith. They faced dilemmas whether to pay the Roman tax or be tied to the temple. Whether to acknowledge Caesar or Herod is King. Whether to separate themselves culturally or to embrace the Roman way of life. Jesus is pointing out that choices have consequences, good and bad. The harder choice is the better choice, the narrow road that leads to God. What are the parallels of ancient life and our life today?

DEACON DAVID HOCKWALT was ordained a Permanent Deacon in the Diocese of San Bernardino in 2012. He continues in active ministry today and is the spiritual advisor to the vicariate Life in the Spirit team.

We pray that today may be a special day in your life as you experience the presence of Jesus Christ among us through this reflection. Magnificat, taken from Luke: 1, is the great hymn of praise that Mary prayed while visiting her cousin, Elizabeth. We trust that this reflection will help us all better understand that we are truly children of God, made in His image and likeness. We want to come together in God’s presence and proclaim that the Almighty has done great things for you and me and holy is His Name!

Heather King is a Los Angeles based writer, blogger, and speaker. Heather was raised on the coast of New Hampshire. She is the oldest of eight children from a Protestant family. She was considered the intelligent one with lots of drive. She is an ex-lawyer, a contemplative and Catholic convert. Heather has written many books and memoirs which detail her journey through 20 years of alcoholism, lymes disease, breast cancer, childlessness, and a broken marriage. Her story is like the prodigal daughter who squandered her inheritance. Heathers conversion to Catholicism took place in 1996 around the same time she left her career as a very successful lawyer in Los Angeles to fulfill a lifelong goal of becoming a writer. The Church formed her and allowed her womanhood to come to fullness. The Church gives her a sense of purpose and a place of comfort to sustain her. Heathers story is one of passion and grit in the face of life’s trials and disappointments. Her writing has been depicted as riveting words and a lost soul that was found. Heather speaks nationwide and is a monthly contributor to the Magnificat publication.

Sidney Speaks

Fr. Sidney Speaks grew up in Baltimore, MD. He was the firstborn of a large family with a devout Catholic mother and an alcoholic father. He first heard the call to the priesthood while doing his chores vacuuming at the age of 11. He ignored the call as he pursued other interests in High School, such as baseball and girls. Toward the end of High School, he befriended a priest that also felt he had a calling. He listened to the priest’s advice and went to St. Joseph Seminary in New Orleans. Unfortunately, he was not ‘all in’; he tried dating in Seminary, but the Lord had his hand on him, and Sidney continued his studies and graduate work in Washington DC. Fr. Sidney was assigned to a couple of parishes as Assoc.

Pastor in New Orleans. Still not content, he left his order of St. Joseph, no longer responsible to commit to his community vows. He became a Catholic High School teacher and was out dating again. About 5 years later, Our Blessed Mother wooed him again and told him to do whatever her son was asking of him, come back and just say ‘yes’ every day. The St. Joseph order would not take him back, but Archbishop Aymond assigned him to a parish in New Orleans. Fr. Speaks is very grateful for all the prayers prayed by Magnificat women for his priesthood.

Testimony of Amy Del Valle | Amy Del Valle grew up in New York in a culturally Jewish home.  She was the oldest of three children and had a younger sister and brother. Family life was very dysfunctional | #christianpodcast #podcast #catholicpodcast #catholicpriest #testimony #TestimonyofAmyDelValle #AmyDelValleTestimony of Amy Del Valle

Testimony of Amy Del Valle. Amy Del Valle grew up in New York in a culturally Jewish home.  She was the oldest of three children and had a younger sister and brother. Family life was very dysfunctional. Her parents divorced when she was 8 yrs. old and there was a long custody battle. Her mother remarried hoping for a better family life but the stepfather was very abusive to her brother and sister. Amy tried her best to protect them. She spent much of her time at a friend’s house when they lived in Staten Island to get away from her unstable home life. The family was very kind to her, and she felt loved and accepted in their Italian Catholic home.

When Amy was in high school, she worked in her stepfather’s Dry-Cleaning business and would remain there to eventually to manage the store for many years after. It was through work that she met her future husband, Peter. He was a non-practicing Catholic. They were married by a Catholic priest that intertwined the Jewish and Catholic traditions in the ceremony, to appease both sides of the family. Their faith journey began together, and they became the parents of two daughters. They looked for a new church and found the Lutheran Church to be the best option as their daughters went to preschool there. They felt pulled back into the Catholic church once the daughters were old enough to receive the Sacraments. They became very involved in the new Catholic community. Amy became a Lector and Cantor and Peter became a Deacon. They knew they were home at last.

Question about Paying Taxes

A Production of the Ultimate Christian Podcast Network.

Question about Paying Taxes | A Moment in Scripture- The Question about Paying Taxes Mk. 12:13-17 By Deacon David Hockwalt | #christianpodcast #podcast #catholicpodcast #catholicpriest #QuestionaboutPayingTaxesQuestion about Paying Taxes

A Moment in Scripture- The Question about Paying Taxes Mk. 12:13-17 By Deacon David Hockwalt

Question about Paying Taxes. This scripture shows the greatness of Jesus. Two enemies join forces: the Herodians and the Pharisees. They try to entrap Jesus by setting up a lose-lose situation. Taxes were a hot button issue. They ask Jesus if it is lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not? If Jesus agrees on taxation, he alienates the majority of Jews who can’t stand Roman rule. If he rejects the tax, he will be reported to the Roman authorities for instigating rebellion.

Jesus turned the lose-lose situation into a win-win. Because Caesar’s likeness is stamped on the coin for tax it should be given back to him as his rightful property. God’s image and likeness is stamped into every living person as we were created in the image of God. We have the higher duty of giving ourselves back to God by serving him. In these complex times we must discern among the likenesses who we are to give the rightful authority by whose image we are created.

Deacon David Hockwalt serves at the St. Francis of Assisi Parish in La Quinta, CA

Ashley Stevens was born outside of Philadelphia, PA. She was raised as a Methodist and was baptized at age 7. At age 9, her family moved to Oakridge, TN. Ashley’s young years were filled with sports activities and the family rarely had time for church. When Ashley entered high school, she got involved in Young Life and accepted Christ into her life while on a retreat. Her priorities began to change as her faith became her driving force and understood how deep Christ’s love was for her. In college, she started going to a Catholic church and was mentored through friends in the Focus program.

One close friend, Brad, would become her future husband. She asked all the typical questions but her new understanding of John Chapter 6, sealed the deal. She enrolled in RCIA, became Catholic, and began work in the Focus program. Then tragedy struck and her faith was tested.  She had many people praying for her recovery and a loving God who fought for her. Her talk is based on the scripture verse, ‘The Lord himself will fight for you, you have only to be still.’ Exodus 14:14

Joseph Droessler is a diocesan priest of Orange, well known for his charism of preaching and many other gifts of the Holy Spirit. |  #christianpodcast #podcast #catholicpodcast #catholicpriest #testimony #Fr.JosephDroesslerTestimony of Fr. Joseph Droessler

Testimony of Fr. Joseph Droessler. Fr. Joseph Droessler is a diocesan priest of Orange, well known for his charism of preaching and many other gifts of the Holy Spirit. He is a native of Orange County and the seventh of eight children. His priestly formation includes years of study at Mt. Saint Mary’s Seminary in Emmitsburg, MD, and Mt. Angel Benedictine Abbey and Seminary in Oregon.

He was ordained a priest for the Diocese of Orange in 1995. Fr, Joseph has a great love for Church history, particularly as seen through the eyes of her saints. His unique testimony will portray the Lord’s pursuit of him and his resistance and then surrender.

After one year in the college seminary, he left the seminary for a full decade; a year before finishing a degree from Loyola Law School, he attended a St. Ignatius retreat. During this retreat, he heard the hound of heaven calling him to the priesthood again. He knew the appointed time had come to respond. Forgoing a law career, he entered immediately into formation to the priestly vocation that had been in his heart since first grade.

He is well known for his charism of preaching and devotion to the Blessed Mother. A special priestly work of his is to enkindle in others a great love of the Catholic Church with the fullness of her magisterial teachings, tradition, and sacred liturgy. Listening to this chosen priest will enkindle your heart in faith, hope, and love.

God is Calling You

A Production of the Ultimate Christian Podcast Network.

God is Calling You |Mary Wilson shares a scripture from John 15:16.| #christianpodcast #podcast #catholicpodcast #testimony #MaryWilsonGod is Calling You ~ Thoughts and Ponderings

Did God choose Me? By Mary Wilson

God is Calling You. Mary Wilson shares a scripture from John 15:16. “You did not choose me; I chose you and appointed you to go bear fruit that will remain.” He chose you for a purpose with a plan in mind. He chose you specifically for what he calls you to do. He is willing to work with us right where we are and get us to a point where we are a better version of ourselves. We must be willing to surrender and live a righteous life. Everything God has planned depends on our ‘Yes’ every step of the way. We need to be nourished in order to grow, and God prunes us. An example of the pruning process is given so that we produce good fruit that will last for His kingdom. Don’t we all want what God has for us? We need to pray for direction so that we can be the Christ-like person God needs us to be. Everything God does is for our salvation and for those he puts in our path.

Mary Wilson presently serves on the (CST) Central Service Team of the Magnificat Ministry as Secretary.

Testimony of Sharon Lee. Sharon Lee, a former Ms. San Diego County runner-up to Ms. California, left showbusiness at the height of her success to pursue a higher purpose. Believing that she had found the true way to serve God through channeled spirits and the new age bible known as ‘The Course in Miracles,’ she had intended to teach in a new and enlightened way to be loving in this popular ‘ anything goes’ philosophies. But by 1999, disillusioned with the devastation these teachings so often produced, she realized they were deceptive. Sharon’s diligent search for truth began to lead her home.

When tragedy struck her family in the year 2000, her conversion was complete. Sharon saw clearly the true teachings of the bible playing out amid the tragic events surrounding her. With courageous honesty, Sharon reveals how her new age influence may have unwittingly played a part in her family’s tragedy. She shares how God’s saving word brought us out of spiritual darkness and into the light of truth. Sharon’s talk is titled, ‘How to do Love.’ It is intended to be a helpful and hopeful message of repentance and triumph over tragedy.

Testimony of Annette Barber |Annette was born into an Orthodox Jewish family. She was the oldest of five children, the little mother of the family|#christianpodcast #podcast #catholicpodcast #testimony #AnnetteBarber #TestimonyofAnnetteBarberTestimony of Annette Barber

Testimony of Annette Barber. Annette was born into an Orthodox Jewish family. She was the oldest of five children, the little mother of the family. Her parents were very loving. She grew up in Iowa.  Her grandparents lived with them. Her grandfather gave her a blessing when she was three years old that she would be a blessing to God and to her family. Annette loved being Jewish. Her family suffered a lot of persecution from Catholics.

As a teenager, she had a lot of questions about life and her faith. She felt so inadequate. She met her future husband at an art school, and he was a Roman Catholic.  After she married Tom and had a son, she felt her life crumbling. Feeling she was a failure as a wife and mother, she had a nervous breakdown and contemplated suicide. God sovereignly spoke to her, and the next day, she began to read the New Testament Gospels. She cried out to Father God. She immediately committed her life to Christ, and the miracles began to happen. She was born to be a Catholic, and God’s grace was constantly calling her throughout her life. Listen as she shares her story with humor and enthusiasm.

She founded two Magnificat Chapters and was the Coordinator of a Chapter just outside of Chicago and a Regional Team member.

The Obedient Son Jn. |A Moment with Scripture-8:21-30-By Deacon David Hockwalt. This gospel highlights the misunderstanding between Jesus and the Pharisees| #TheObedientSonJn #ObedientSon #chrishtan #chrishtanpodcastThe Obedient Son

A Moment with Scripture-8:21-30-By Deacon David Hockwalt

The Obedient Son. This gospel highlights the misunderstanding between Jesus and the Pharisees. It is based on the fact that they are coming from two different perspectives. The Pharisees are in this earthly world, and Jesus is from heaven, above. The Pharisees cannot understand Jesus because they think about him in their own earthly terms. The same is today for those who deny Jesus’s divinity.

When Jesus says, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come, they think he is going to take his own life. Jesus says, ‘If you do not believe I am, you will die in your sins.’ In the bible there is a deep connection between sin and death. St. Paul writes, ‘Through Adam sin entered the world and through sin, death.’ When Jesus is talking about dying in your sins, he is talking about dying in the state of separation from God. Only Jesus can heal humanity of sin and reconcile them with the Father. To this day, those who believe in Jesus accept eternal life with the Father. Those who reject Jesus refuse his gift and thus die separated from God.

DEACON DAVID HOCKWALT has ordained a Permanent Deacon in the Diocese of San Bernardino in 2012. He continues in active ministry today and is the spiritual advisor to the vicariate Life in the Spirit team.

Working on the Sabbath

Working on the Sabbath| Jesus had gone up to Jerusalem, where there was a pool known as Bethesda. These waters were thought to have curative power| #christianpodcast #podcast #catholicpodcast #Workingonthesabbeth #sabbath #deacondavdhockwaltWorking on the Sabbath

A Moment with Scripture- Jn. 5:1-18 By Deacon David Hockwalt

Working on the Sabbath. Jesus had gone up to Jerusalem, where there was a pool known as Bethesda. These waters were thought to have curative power. Jesus sees a paralytic at the pool of Bethesda that had been ill for a very long time. He had trouble getting to the pool. At Jesus’ command, he was healed without going to the pool. He got up on his feet and picked up his mat, and walked for the first time in 38 years.

God is showing that he is bringing salvation to his people through his son. The local Jewish authorities were mad at the man for carrying his mat on a Sabbath day, violating a law. One could not carry a burden out of one’s house or through the city gate. The healing miracle that had just taken place did not seem to count in their eyes.  You might want to ask yourself if you focus on something substantial or trivial. Jesus is in trouble for violating the Sabbath and blasphemy. He called God his own father, making himself equal to God. Jews wanted to kill Jesus. Jesus brought healing, forgiveness, and divine judgment to the world at the risk of his own life. What are we willing to risk to be a disciple of Jesus?

Testimony of Rosalind Moss |Testimony of Rosalind Moss, Sr. Miriam of the Lamb of God Mother Miriam of the Lamb of God, as she is now called, is known to many in the Catholic world| #christianpodcast #podcast #catholicpodcast #testimony #rosalindmoss #testimonyofrosalindmossTestimony of Rosalind Moss

Testimony of Rosalind Moss, Sr. Miriam of the Lamb of God Mother Miriam of the Lamb of God, as she is now called, is known to many in the Catholic world. Born and raised in a Jewish home in Brooklyn, New York, Rosalind Moss embraced Jesus as the Messiah of the Jewish people as an adult. Her initial conversion interrupted a successful 15-year business career as an executive with corporations in New York and California. She changed course, beginning a full-time Evangelical ministry and earning a master’s degree in Ministry from Talbot Theological Seminary. Then, a series of events in the summer of 1990 set her on a course to find out if the Catholic Church was, in fact, the Church Christ established 2,000 years ago. After 18 years of Evangelical Protestantism, she entered the Catholic Church in Easter 1995.

Leaven Pharisees |A Moment in Scripture Mk. 8:14-21 By Deacon David Hockwalt. Leaven Pharisees. If there is one, this story's theme is ‘missing the point.’ The disciples forgot to bring bread with them. Jesus reminded them of the multiplication miracles they witnessed| #christianpodcast #podcast #catholicpodcast #secondprophesy #leavenpharisees #deacondavdhockwaltLeaven Pharisees ~ A Moment In Scripture

Join us for Leaven Pharisees with Deacon David Hockwalt as he discusses Mk. 8:14-21

Leaven Pharisees. If there is one, this story’s theme is ‘missing the point.’ The disciples forgot to bring bread with them. Jesus reminded them of the multiplication miracles they witnessed. The disciples did not absorb Jesus’ earlier teaching that the Father will always provide for their needs as long as they focus on seeking the kingdom. Don’t worry about the bread; focus on the leaven is Jesus’ point. He is referring to spiritual leaven, not earthly leaven. It also warns us not to be the leaven that hinders our understanding and acceptance of Jesus’ teaching.

DEACON DAVID HOCKWALT was ordained as a Permanent Deacon in the Diocese of San Bernardino in 2012. He continues in active ministry today and is the spiritual advisor to the vicariate Life in the Spirit team.

We pray that today may be a special day in your life as you experience the presence of Jesus Christ among us through this reflection. Magnificat, taken from Luke: 1, is the great hymn of praise that Mary prayed while visiting her cousin, Elizabeth. We trust that this reflection will help us all better understand that we are truly children of God, made in His image and likeness. We want to come together in God’s presence and proclaim that the Almighty has done great things for you and me, and holy is His Name!

Sandy Ourso was born in Shreveport, LA, where she spent her early years. She attended Baptist church services every Sunday till she was 15 yrs. old. She received a wonderful foundation in her faith. The world’s cares lured her away from the boredom of church services. At the age of 20, she was a self-proclaimed agnostic. She married and moved to Dallas. For the next ten years, she lived her life according to the world’s definition. She had a great job. She was a newspaper reporter and editorial writer. She enjoyed an income that allowed her to satisfy every whim. She and her husband spent their spare time traveling, going to concerts, movies, and the theatre, dining at fine restaurants and partying with friends, and acquiring material possessions. At the age of thirty, after reading an interview with Francis Shaeffer, she began the pursuit of a new direction in her life. She was searching for answers, and God met her at a talk given by Schaeffer. The last statement he made changed her life and set her off on a Paul to Damascus experience. She rediscovered the stories of the bible and attended non- denominal churches again. She remarried after a  divorce and had a child at the age of 43.  You will be amazed by Sandy’s story of how she found her way to the Catholic Church.

A Moment in Scripture:  Passion Prophesy Two, the Second Prophecy of the Passion Mk.9:30-37 By Deacon David Hockwalt

Jesus and the disciples are making their way from Galilee to Jerusalem. Jesus is privately instructing them in the final and most intensive part of their formation. The first part of instruction concerns his passion and death. Jesus knew what lied ahead for him and ait was important that his disciples understood this. The second part concerns the responsibility to serve and care for those who most need it. If anyone wishes to be first he shall be last of all and the servant of all. Jesus is mysteriously present whenever we welcome them.

Debra Herbeck | Debra Herbeck |Debra has worked extensively in youth and women’s ministries for the past 25 years| #christianpodcast #podcast #catholicpodcast #debraherbeck #testimony Debra Herbeck ~ Testimony

Debra Herbeck has worked extensively in youth and women’s ministries for the past 25 yrs., evangelizing on college campuses, speaking at high school youth conferences, directing youth camps, and mentoring high school and college-age women. She has spoken at Franciscan University women’s and youth conferences and women’s events throughout the country.

Debra is a newsletter editor for Renewal Ministries and has written articles for New Covenant, Pastoral Ministries, Credo, and Catholic Faith and Family.

The Herbeck’s live in Ann Arbor, Michigan, with their four children and are members of Christ the King parish.

Debra Herbeck:

Debra Herbreck was born and raised in the Jewish faith with devout Jewish parents. Her whole entire world was Jewish, and she grew up with a very strong cultural identity as a Jew. Her conversion came while in college when she had a personal encounter with Christ. She began her pursuit of truth through reading the bible and help from her college friends, who gave her a better understanding of the Christian faith. She knew saying ’yes’ to Jesus meant saying ‘no’ to all she knew as a Jew. She kept praying, asking God to show her if Jesus was real, and he answered her prayer, and it changed the trajectory of her life as she accepted Christ.

Testimony of Dana Rosemary Scallon

A Production of the Ultimate Christian Podcast Network.

Dana Rosemary Scallon | Recording artist turned politician, an amazing testimony. | #christianpodcast #podcast #catholicpodcast #danascallon #danarosemaryscallon Testimony of Dana Rosemary Scallon

Dana Rosemary Scallon (born Rosemary Brown; on 30 August 1951, known professionally as Dana, is an Irish singer. While still a schoolgirl, she won the 1970 Eurovision Song Contest with “All Kinds of Everything.” Scallon was born Rosemary Brown in Islington, London, one of seven children. In December 1969, Tom McGrath, producer of the Irish National Song Contest, invited Scallon to try out, feeling that one of the entered songs, the ballad “All Kinds of Everything,” would suit her. Her second attempt to win the Irish contest was a success. Then on Saturday, 21 March 1970, the eighteen-year-old schoolgirl performed the song at the Eurovision finals held in the  Amsterdam RAI Exhibition Convention Center before an estimated viewing audience of two hundred million. Perched on a stool while wearing an embroidered white mini-dress, she was the last of twelve contestants to perform that night. After the voting, she was declared the winner with 32 points.

Scallon’s debut album All Kinds of Everything, recorded at Decca Studio in West Hampstead, London, on the weekend of 25 April 1970, was released in June and included four tracks co-written by the singer, as well as a new recording of the album’s title track. Having scored an Irish number one in January 1980 with the song based on the Pope’s motto:  Totus Tuus, Latin for Totally Yours, the much larger American Christian market became a possible outlet for her music.

She sang at a Rosary Rally in Palm Beach and was asked to write a theme song for the Rosary. The result was The Rosary, an album released with over a million sales worldwide. Dana and Fr Kevin Scallon’s recording of The Rosary, available from www.dsmusicstore.com  has achieved platinum sales throughout the world since 1991 and continues to bring great healing and conversion to millions of people through the power of this wonderful prayer.

To help celebrate the sixth World Youth Day event held in Denver in 1993, she was invited to sing in the presence of Pope John Paul II the theme song for the occasion, “We Are One Body,” a song she composed herself. She also sang at the World Youth Day celebrations held in Paris in 1997, Toronto in 2002, and Sydney in 2008.

Dana is married to Damien Scallon and has four grown children. She is a  former politician who served as a Member of the European Parliament from 1999 to 2004.

The more successful and materialistic she became the more she pushed God out of her life.

Kathleen became a daily communicant, Coordinator of the Orange County Magnificat Chapter, and a lady of the Holy Sepulcher of Jerusalem. Kathleen shared that suffering compelled me to pray, contemplation led me to worship, praise, and service. I found solace in Holy Mother Church. You will hear about the graces that led to her conversion.

For twenty-five years, and in thirteen countries, Kathleen Beckman has served in the Church’s ministry of evangelization through Catholic radio and television, writing, speaking and as  a certified Retreat Director. Sophia Institute Press has published her four best-selling books including, “Praying for Priests”, “God’s Healing Mercy”, “When Women Pray” and the newest, “A Family Guide to Spiritual Warfare”.

At the invitation of the clergy, Kathleen has served in the Church’s ministry of exorcism and deliverance for sixteen years. She was on faculty for the Pope Leo XIII Institute at Mundelein Seminary for six years. She presently serves as the lay administrator of the exorcism and deliverance ministry and is a member of the exorcist’s team. In 2013, with encouragement from the Vatican’s Congregation for the Clergy, Kathleen co-founded the “Foundation of Prayer for Priests” a ministry of intercessory prayer for the holiness and protection of clergy.

The New Family of Jesus Lk.8:19-21 by Deacon David Hockwalt

A Moment in Scripture- The New Family of Jesus LK:19-21 by Deacon David Hockwalt

DEACON DAVID HOCKWALT was ordained a Permanent Deacon in the Diocese of San Bernardino in 2012. He continues in active ministry today and is the spiritual advisor to the vicariate Life in the Spirit team.

We pray that today may be a special day in your life as you experience the presence of Jesus Christ among us through this reflection. Magnificat, taken from Luke: 1, is the great hymn of praise that Mary prayed while visiting her cousin, Elizabeth. We trust that this reflection will help us all better understand that we are truly children of God, made in His image and likeness. We want to come together in God’s presence and proclaim that the Almighty has done great things for you and me and holy is His Name!

Magnificat ® is dedicated to Mary, the Mother of God, an image of the Church, and model for all Christians, especially women.

Two hundred Catholic women from all walks of life crowded into a Knights of Columbus hall on October 7, 1981, to have breakfast and to hear a woman’s personal
witness to the power of God in her life.

The women who left that hall were filled with a joy that only the Holy Spirit can give; that is, a deeper awareness of God’s loving presence in their lives and a burning desire to share this wonderful experience with more and more of their sisters in Christ.

The modest breakfast held on October 7, 1981, is today, a ministry to Catholic women known as “Magnificat” with Chapters in the United States, Canada, the Caribbean, Europe, and Africa.

While the Magnificat Meal is the main function of the ministry, Magnificat is much more than “putting on a meal.” It is a time of praise and worship, fellowship, and prayer.
Magnificat is a private association of the Christian faithful under the vigilance and jurisdiction of the local ordinary. The ministry is consecrated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

The essence of Magnificat is the encounter between Mary and Elizabeth (Luke 1:39-56). Magnificat is a woman-to-woman ministry which calls forth a lively faith in God and His actions in daily life, a love for Mary and for the Church, and deep holiness. The words of Our Lady’s canticle in Luke’s gospel take on a personal significance for Magnificat women as they seek to magnify the Lord in their own lives and lead others to know His great love and goodness.

We encourage you to join us as we pray, learn, and experience what God can do in our lives if we let Him!

Jesus makes known, very strongly in this reading, that love is a decision and not some sentimental sloppy emotion. He was not talking about feelings, but about the use of our will.  We make a choice to love someone with our mind. We also make a choice to forgive someone with our mind.

“There is a famine today that is raging across this great land of ours. There is a deep hunger and thirst for the healing Word of God … With humility, boldness, and energy, we must personally hear the Word, pray the Word, study the Word, proclaim the Word, and live the Word of the Lord Jesus Christ.” (from Introduction for The Bread of Life Bible Study)

Magnificat, taken from Luke: 1, is the great hymn of praise that Mary prayed while visiting her cousin, Elizabeth. We trust that this sharing will help us better understand that we are truly children of God, made in His image and likeness, and are called to “go and bear fruit, fruit that will last” (John 15:16). Join with us as we come together in God’s presence and proclaim that the Almighty has done great things for you and me. Holy is His Name!

6th Sunday of Ordinary Time-C: The beatitudes show what Christians can expect from the world, and what God will give them.6th Sunday of Ordinary Time-C Bread of Life Bible Study

The beatitudes show what Christians can expect from the world, and what God will give them. Like a very sharp knife, the beatitudes cut away false piety from true humility.
