The Beatitudes of the Gospel are eight statements that our Lord taught within the context of the Sermon of the Mount (chapters 5-7 of St. Matthew). They are attitudes, ideals we have to aim for if we want to be true disciples of Christ. They portray, in some way, an image of Jesus Christ, they describe the heart of the Gospel. Those who live them out are “blessed”, they are favored by God, and will receive eternal happiness, the reward of Heaven.

Jesus Christ is the foundation and the center of all the moral teaching of the Catholic Church. Our Lord became man to redeem us, but also to teach us the way to Heaven, the way to our fulfillment, the way to complete joy. So, the moral teachings of the Church, with all its precepts and “rules”, is like a help, like a road map that shows us the way to salvation. Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.

We’re starting a new section in our podcast!! In this episode I speak about the purpose of the Commandments and of the whole moral teaching of the Catholic Church. The moral law of the Church is a guide that helps us know what the right path to Heaven is, and how to grow in the supernatural LIFE of Grace given us in Baptism.

Fr. Francis Solanus Casey, was born in 1870, in Wisconsin, and died July 31, 1957, in Detroit, Michigan. He was a Capuchin Franciscan priest. He lived most of his life in Detroit Michigan, and one of his main tasks was to be the porter at St. Bonaventure’s Monastery. His body lays today at the Solanus Casey Center in Detroit. Today I share some spiritual reflections based on some of the events in the life of Blessed Solanus Casey, as well as some of his spiritual teachings. I talk about his vocational discernment, his devotion to the Virgin Mary, some of his miracles, his patience, his humility and above all, his teaching that when we ask for graces from God, we should “Thank God ahead of time!”

Married couples are the bulwark of society. Without married couples, society would fall apart and the Catholic Church would be in a serious crisis. Sacramental Marriage has certain God-given characteristics, or “goods”, and some responsibilities. In this episode we speak about how marriage is one and indissoluble, a life-long commitment that requires mutual fidelity of the spouses, openness to life (which includes the education and Christian formation of the children), and a concern of each spouse for the physical, emotional and, above all, spiritual well-being both of the other spouse and of their children.

Today I talk about the effects of the sacrament of Matrimony, particularly, the marriage bond and the graces it gives to fulfill the responsibilities of the spouses. The Catechism states that from a valid marriage arises a bond between the spouses which by its very nature is perpetual and exclusive. That, moreover, the spouses are strengthened and consecrated for the duties and the dignity of their new state.
