Catholic Mormon Podcast (Podcast Info)
Hey Gang - Inspiration has struck... Sarah and I decided to do something a little different this time. We recorded this show using GarageBand on her MacBook outside. Hopefully the sound quality is acceptable and I'm wondering if anyone can confirm that those are frogs in the background. Honest, we have no clue! Thanks to everyone who has posted on the web site and sent emails. As we mentioned a few shows ago, it's your questions and thoughts that are going to shape the show and determine how often they come out for the most part! Below is an Amazon link to the book recommended by Jason as part of his email on favorite Saints...
Date: June 27, 2006Hey Gang - thanks for sticking with us. This was a fun show to produce as we worked our way through a couple emails and ended up spending a good amount of time talking about one perticular email of a couple in the early stages of working out this religion thing... it brought back a ton of memories!Also in this show, I mentioned video podcast Mormon Cast. It's a weekly video podcast that presents a variety of topics from cooking to LDS movies... well produced. Check out the website at www.mormoncast.org**CALL FOR CONTENT***For shows planned in July, we're looking for you to contribute in a couple specific topics. The first will deal with Patron Saints. Who is your Patron Saint and why? Tell us a little about this person and why they are so special to you. The second topic will deal with the topic of Exorcism. Not sure how deep or where this one will go, but it should be interesting!!!Thanks to all who visit the website and have voted for us at Podcast Alley!

Life on Fire (Podcast Info)
Hey Everyone,We're BAACK MuwhahahahahaOk seriously, this episode is about everything that happened in the past two weeks, including the wedding! You'll hear about fears of late brides, late night hair styling and a possible new podcast. Not to mention Chris' new job.You'll hear as many details that Tanya, Chris and Allie can remember about the wedding and a cool story from Chris and Tanya's brief weekend vacation. (Not that kind of story you weirdos)We may have a podcast special coming up so, stay tuned. Also, we'll have pictures and possibly a video up as soon as we can.Thank you for all of your happy wishes and prayers for us.Sites Mentioned:Rosary Army - http://www.rosaryarmy.comBraxtan Films - http://www.braxtanfilm.comDisciples With Microphones forums - http://www.discipleswithmicrophones.org/forumWe'll keep you updated on Allie's branching out into her own podcast and our possible RA Honeymoon special.Please vote for us on podcast alley, leave a link on our frappr map and visit the forums.Again, thank you all and God Bless!God Bless,Chris and Tanya
Date: June 28, 2006Hey Everyone,It may seem insane but, Chris stayed up until 2:15AM Monday morning just so that this podcast would get out to you. Unfortunatley there was a technical glitch the first time he editited it and Audacity terminated before he could save what he was doing. So Chris had to re-edit the show ALL OVER AGAIN and then upload the show. Ok, now on with the actual show notes:This week, Allie speaks of her travels in Europe, including stories about some of the religious aspects of her journey. Tanya and Chris follow the advice of listener Bob and come up with several lists about one another. Perhaps they should have made them ahead of time... They also discuss the improvements being made on their future home and Tanya's wedding shower.This will be the last podcast before Chris and Tanya's wedding. They have a TON of stuff to do before then and not much time to do it in so, producing a podcast would be too difficult. However, they will do their best to produce a new episode right after their wedding and will greatly appreciate your prayers and any feedback during this time.May the Lord bless all of you and we'll see you after the break.God Bless,Chris and Tanya

Meditations from Carmel (Podcast Info)
St. Teresa of Avila, The Way of Perfection Chapter 23
“There are so many reasons why it is extremely important to begin with great determination in prayer.
What bride is there who in receiving many valuable jewels from her bridegroom will refuse to give him even a ring as a pledge that she will be his until death? Does our Lord deserve less? But this little bit of time that we resolve to give Him, which we spend on ourselves and on someone who will not thank us for it, let us give to Him, since we desire to do so, with our thoughts free of other things and unoccupied by them. And let us be wholly determined never to take it back from Him, neither because of trials on this account, nor because of contradictions, no because of dryness. I should consider the time of prayer as not belonging to me and think that He can ask it of me in justice when I do not want to give it wholly to Him.
Another reason for beginning with determination is that the devil will not then have so free a hand to tempt. He's extremely afraid of determined souls, for he has experience the great harm they do him. But if the devil should see carelessness, he would do great harm. And if he knows that someone is changeable and unstable in being good and not strongly determined to persevere, he will keep after him day and night; he will cause fears and never-ending obstacles. I know this very well through experience, and that's why I'm able to say, and do say, that no one know how important determination is.
The other reason for beginning with determination is - and it is very much to the point - that the person who does so struggles more courageously. He knows that come what may he will not turn back. As in the case of one who is in a battle, he knows that if he is conquered they won't spare him his life and that if he doesn't die in battle he will die afterward. He struggles with greater determination and wants to fight like a desperado - as they say - and he doesn't fear the blows so much, because he is convinced of how important victory is and that for him to conquer is to live. It's also necessary to begin with the assurance that if we don't let ourselves be conquered, we will obtain our goal; this without a doubt, for not matter how small the gain, one will end up being very rich.
Nevertheless, I say that should anyone have some doubt little would be lost in trying the journey of prayer; for this journey brings with it the following good; more is given that is asked for, beyond what we could desire. This is absolutely true; I know. And those of you who know it by experience, through the goodness of God, can be my witnesses."

St. Teresa of Avila - Interior Castle 1.7
"Insofar as I can understand the door of entry to this Interior Castle of our soul is prayer and reflection. I don't mean to refer to mental more than vocal prayer, for since vocal prayer is prayer it must be accompanied by reflection. A prayer in which a person is not aware of whom he is speaking to, what he is asking, I do not call prayer however much the lips move. Sometimes it will be so without this reflection, provided that the soul has these reflections at other times. Nonetheless, anyone who has the habit of speaking before God's majesty as though he were speaking to a slave, without being careful to see how he is speaking, but saying whatever comes to his head and whatever he has learned from saying at other times, in my opinion is not praying. Please God, may no Christian pray in this way."

“This Lord of ours is the one through whom all blessings come to us. He will teach us these things. In beholding His life we find that He is the best example. What more do we desire than to have such a good friend at our side, who will not abandon us in our labors and tribulations, as friends in the world do? Blessed are they who truly love Him and always keep Him at their side! Let us consider the glorious St. Paul" it doesn't seem that any other name fell from his lips that that of Jesus, as coming from on who kept the Lord close to his heart."

The other reason for beginning with determination is - and it is very much to the point - that the person who does so struggles more courageously. He knows that come what may he will not turn back. As in the case of one who is in a battle, he knows that if he is conquered they won't spare him his life and that if he doesn't die in battle he will die afterward. He struggles with greater determination and wants to fight like a desperado - as they say - and he doesn't fear the blows so much, because he is convinced of how important victory is and that for him to conquer is to live. It's also necessary to begin with the assurance that if we don't let ourselves be conquered, we will obtain our goal; this without a doubt, for not matter how small the gain, one will end up being very rich. Nevertheless, I say that should anyone have some doubt little would be lost in trying the journey of prayer; for this journey brings with it the following good; more is given that is asked for, beyond what we could desire. This is absolutely true; I know. And those of you who know it by experience, through the goodness of God, can be my witnesses." time 5:00 The Collected Works of St. Teresa of Avila, Volume II Translated by Kieran Kavanaugh, OCD, and Otilio Rodriguez, OCD ICS Publicationsmp3 filemp3 File

“I do not want to lay up merits for heaven. I want to work for Your Love alone with the one purpose of pleasing You, consoling Your Sacred Heart, and saving souls who will love You eternally.
In the evening of this life, I shall appear before You with empty hands, for I do not ask You, Lord, to count my works. All our justice is stained in Your eyes. I wish, then, to be clothed in Your own Justice and to receive from Your Love the eternal possession of Yourself. I want no other Throne, no other Crown but You, my Beloved!”

St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross -- Selected Verses from a Pentecost Novena
Who are you, sweet light, that fills me
And illumines the darkness of my heart?
You lead me like a mother's hand,
And should you let go of me,
I would not know how to take another step.
You are the space
That embraces my being and buries it in yourself.
Away from you it sinks into the abyss
Of nothingness, from which you raised it to the light.
You, nearer to me than I to myself
And more interior than my most interior
And still impalpable and intangible
And beyond any name:
Holy Spirit eternal love!
Are you not the sweet manna
That from the Son's heart
Overflows into my heart,
The food of angels and the blessed?
He who raised himself from death to life,
He has also awakened me a to new life
From the sleep of death.
And he gives me new life from day to day,
And at some time his fullness is to stream through me,
Life of your life indeed, you yourself:
Holy Spirit eternal life!
Are you the sweet song of love
And of holy awe
That eternally resounds around the triune throne,
That weds in itself the clear chimes
of each and every being?
The harmony,
That joins together the members to the Head,
In which each one
Finds the mysterious meaning of his being blessed
And joyously surges forth,
Freely dissolved in your surging:
Holy Spirit eternal jubilation!

“You already know that God is everywhere. It’s obvious, then, that where the king is there is his court; in sum, wherever God is, there is heaven. Without a doubt you can believe that where His Majesty is present, all glory is present. Consider what St. Augustine says, that he sought Him in many places but found Him ultimately within himself. Do you think it matter little for a soul with a wandering mind to understand this truth and see that there is no need to go to heaven in order to speak with one’s Eternal Father or find delight in Him? Nor is there any need to shout. However softly we speak, He is near enough to hear us. Neither is there any need for wings to go to find Him. All one need do is go into solitude and look at Him within oneself, and not turn away from so good a Guest but with great humility speak to Him as to a father. “
