A Day With Mary at Oxford Oratory

We did our first ever live broadcast of a Day With Mary. We are still trying to find a good system that does not have ads since some of these are inappropriate. These broadcasts will be done on some Saturdays between 10am – 1530pm GMT or 5am to 12:30pm EST. They have these events every Saturday but they will be live broadcasted only as Internet connections from the locations permit. We will keep you posted.

CCC 1822-1829 – “Charity is the theological virtue by which we love God above all things for his own sake, and our neighbor as ourselves for the love of God…”

Conferences #141 – Fr. Ignatius on the Notion of Heroic Virtue ( 55min) >>> Play –

Ave Maria!

Fr. Ignatius preached a mission in Cornwall, England on Heroic virtues. In this first talk he explains the notion of heroic virtue. He uses the universal call to holiness in the Bible, “You Must, therefore, Be Perfect…” (Mt. 5:49) to introduce us to an in-depth road map for developing the profound virtues that God desires to give us if we truly desire them and ask for the necessary graces. He bases this on the teachings of Pope Benedict XIV (1740-1758).

Friar Peter Julian (American) stands in the threshold of the conference room in which the training course is being held. At the moment the small room is not too bad, but as soon as everyone else shows up on Tuesday the 22nd it’ll become a tight squeeze in my opinion. CLICK MORE BELOW TO ENTER

Conferences #93 – Fr James McCurry opens the Newman-Scotus Symposium ( 11min) >>> Play

Ave Maria!

Fr James McCurry gives an inspirational welcome and introduction to the Newman-Scotus Symposium at the Washington Theological Union on Oct 22, 2010. He reads a warm letter of encouragement from Friar Marco Tasca, OFM Conv., the Minster General of the Conventual Franciscans from Rome, asking the participants to energetically uncover, for all the world to see, the common intellectual treasure that these two holy and eminent British scholars share, centered on the Absolute Primacy of Christ and the primacy of Love. He reflects on the Pope’s words at the very recent beatification of Newman in Birmingham, England where he mentions Newman’s  motto “Cor ad Cor Loquitor“, “Heart speaks unto Heart” where God and man speak heart to heart. Fr. McCurry mentions the equivalent starting point for Scotus’ theology where “God wills to love. God wills to be loved. God willed to have co-lovers of himself” and so he created the world and man with the goal of the incarnation via Mary Immaculate. He ends by reciting a prayer to Our Lady written by Bl. John Cardinal Newman to give us protection and the purity of heart and mind to be good and wise Christians.

Short Series #33 – Fr. Agnellus takes on a tour of the Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham ( 04min) >>> Play

Ave Maria!

Walsingham, in north Norfolk, England (United Kingdom) has been a place of pilgrimage since medieval times, when travel to Rome and Compostella was virtually impossible. The original Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham, founded in 1061, was destroyed at the Reformation. Many barren years passed until the Slipper Chapel, a 14th century wayside pilgrim chapel, was restored and pilgrimage to Walsingham began once more. In 1934, the English Bishops named the Slipper Chapel the Roman Catholic National Shrine of Our Lady. -walsingham.org.uk
