Episode 69 - Paul Jernberg: How Can a Composer be Creative and Follow Divine Inspiration?
I’m with composer Paul Jernberg once again. Our starting point is the following excerpt from Musicam Sacram and the following statement:
Musicians will enter on this new work with the desire to continue that tradition which has furnished the Church, in her divine worship, with a truly abundant heritage. Let them examine the works of the past, their types and characteristics, but let them also pay careful attention to the new laws and requirements of the liturgy, so that "new forms may in some way grow organically from forms that already exist, and the new work will form a new part in the musical heritage of the Church, not unworthy of its past.
How does a composer balance the new with the traditional, proscribed forms with invention? Paul gives us his approach.
Episode 68 - Charlie Deist - Join us in a March for Eternal Life, and a new call for Chivalry
This is a march in which we meditate upon the spiritual meaning of marching itself. It is exercise that is natural to us - walking - that is ordered to our ultimate end. I see the 50 miles as a symbol of Pentecost, the 50-day after Easter on which the Holy Spirit descended upon us. It is a call for conversion and Christian chivalry.

Episode 61 - Simone Rizkallah from endowgroups.org on the genius of women
The genius of women, as described by Pius XII and Pope St John Paul II a phrase that describes those qualities that women distinctly offer the world for our greater good and the greater glory of God. This is not, as some may characterize it, a push to confine women to the home or the convent (unless they choose such life), rather it is encouraging a fuller use by women of the gifts that God gives to them for the good of all.
