      <title>The Monday After | Well, Maybe One King (For Peace&apos;s Sake)</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>The Feast of Christ the King was established by Pope Pius XI in 1925 to implore all people - especially leaders of totalitarian states - to allow Christ to reign in their hearts, that He might direct their thoughts and actions according to the Father's will for peace's sake. But since peace is begotten by God, not made by man, it is by the forgiveness of sin that man is then poised to bring God's peace to the world.</p>

      <title>The Monday After | Should We Be Afraid?</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>The title's a bit click-baity, but it was either that or "Sure Feels Like the End Sometimes," which also seemed a bit of a ploy. In any case, this Sunday's readings prepared us for Christ's return to judge the living and the dead, because next weekend is the Feast of Christ the King, which will bring with it the end of the liturgical year and a foreshadowing of the end of all things. My hope, here, was to say that by growing in our awareness of how Christ is already with us, we can be relieved of any fear of His coming again in glory - or even our own death.</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>We do not like waiting. Well, in any case, we're not good at it, which is obvious; in this age of invention we've all but eliminated the need to wait for anything. There was a time when we waited for the seeds, the rains, the sun. Some still do, but most of us go to the supermarket and still complain about the checkout line. We get frustrated with shipping delays, abhor traffic, and have all but abandoned television for the immediacy of binge-streaming.</p><p>No wonder the suffering of purgatory is so much on our conscience these days, like a punishment the child sees coming while returning home from school. We are full of guilt for allowing ourselves to have become so alienated from the thing happening everywhere else in the natural world, which is essential for growth, namely, waiting.</p><p>But I wouldn’t want us to think that the<i> waiting</i> we hear so often associated with purgatory is arbitrary or merely punitive. If that antechamber to heaven really is, as the Church teaches, the place where God’s mercy tempers His justice, then there must be something to be gained by the experience of waiting offered to us in this life. Maybe we shouldn’t be so afraid of it or resent it. Maybe we should welcome it, and grow in it.   </p>

      <title>The Monday After | How Could He Ask Emily for Help?</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>The title of this episode is a reference to the film, The Crossing Guard, which I mention toward the end of the reflection in the hope of illustrating the way that Christ can be of the greatest help to us, if we would open our heart to Him. Of course, it is a scary thing even to acknowledge our desire for God - as terrifying as the seemingly infinite space of the cosmos.</p>

When that happens, the mulberry tree of our lives has truly been unrooted and planted in the sea of His mercy.</p>

      <title>The Monday After | The Necessary Evil of Handing Over the Son</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Treatments like chemotherapy, for example, are in some ways similar to Christ's death on the cross; they are necessary evils; one heals cancer, the other sin. In this episode, I argue that political debate is also a necessary evil, because we need laws now to intervene where once (before the fall of man) there was the bond of love. I also propose that the necessary evil of the handing over of Tyler Robinson by his parents may prove to be the most unlikely source of healing for those wounded by the loss of Charlie Kirk. I end with a word of hope that young people (especially those on college campuses) will find places to argue that best facilitate an encounter with love, which alone fulfills the Law.</p>

      <itunes:subtitle>This is a Lenten reading of Father Walter Ciszek&apos;s, He Leadeth Me. One chapter will be posted every other day throughout Lent, recorded for the Mens Roundtable, the mens group of the parish, as a way of spiritually accompanying our group reading of this text.

Captured by the Russian army during World War II and convicted of being a &quot;Vatican spy,&quot; American Jesuit, Father Walter J. Ciszek spent 23 years in Soviet prisons and the labor camps of Siberia. 

He endured unspeakable hardship before being returned to the States. In this book, he reflects not only on the trials he endured, but also with both simplicity and depth about his experience of prayer, which alone sustained him. 

This being the Year of Saint Ignatius, we thought it fitting to read this book, as He Leadeth Me offers the reader an excellent way of learning the Spiritual Exercises and Discernment of Spirits from one of Saint Ignatius&apos; most beloved sons.   

Father Ciszek&apos;s cause for canonization was opened in 1990, just six years after his death.</itunes:subtitle>
