Everyday Friar

A slightly different episode. One take, going through Romans 7:18 and my thoughts on sin and life.

What is Franciscan spirituality? Why St. Francis? Why saints at all?

Hope leading to action, the powers that be, amoral governments, and Christian punk music.

Peter, Paul, and St. Francis. Different but following the same goal. Other mish-mashed thoughts.

Thoughts on St. Francis compared to one of my old heroes, Leo Tolstoy. Additionally, thoughts on suffering and martyrdom.

War, Kingdoms, Sanctification of States

Asceticism, Problem of Evil

Discussion of some library books, including Monk Habits for Everyday People and Surprised by Hope. I also talk about sanctification and identity a bit.

Thoughts on Liturgy of the Hours, Marriage, Asceticism, the Church, and Community.
