Ave Maria! Bishop Timothy L. Olmsted of Phoenix, AZ gives a talk called “Blessed are Those Who Believe: Faith and Fidelity Today” at the Courage Annual Conference. He covers the virtues in general and then focuses on Faith in particular and how to stay strong in this virtue when today’s world is so discouraging. He does this by examining the life of Blessed John Paul II whom he personally knew. Of the many virtues that the Blessed Pope had, Faith is what stands out the most and this is based on his devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary who as St. Elizabeth proclaimed “Blessed is she who believed”. He grew in faith despite having experienced many personal and national tragedies in Poland in World War II and the communist aftermath. This Faith involves three elements 1. Trust in God completely, 2. Ascent, a free ascent to the whole truth, 3. Obedience, to what God asks us to do. Ave Maria! +++ |

John Harvey, OSFS and the Future of Courage and Encourage”, at the Annual National Courage Conference which ministers to people suffering from same sex attraction. After an introduction by Fr. Paul Check, Executive Director of Courage, Cardinal Burke gives a tribute to the late Father John Harvey the co-founder of Courage and EnCourage who was his personal friend. He focuses on the many pastoral innovations that Fr. Harvey developed from his deep respect of the personhood of people with homosexual attraction leading them to accept and embrace the virtues advocated by the Church. He covers his deep devotion to his own parents and family and then his religious family the religious order of the Oblates of St Francis de Sales and the influence that these had on his great pastoral heart, what Courage has done and what it will accomplish in the future, especially the participation in the sacraments.

Ave Maria! In this episode, Friar Roderick interviews Fr. Paul Check, priest from the Diocese of Bridgeport, CT, and Executive Director of Courage International, on his apostolate which works with those who struggle with same-sex attraction. Fr. Paul focuses on the positive aspects of living a Catholic life in the midst of a decaying culture, and how to avoid getting caught in the tangled web of same-sex relationships. We recorded Fr. Paul’s talk with the teens and we hope to get it posted sometime in the near future. For more info on the Courage apostolate, visit their website: http://couragerc.net/ Ave Maria! |
