It was juridically proven in the process of canonization of St. Francis Jerome [1642-1716] and under oath attested to by a large number of eye-witnesses: In the year 1707, St. Francis Jerome was preaching, as was his wont, in the neighborhood of the city of Naples. He was speaking of Hell and the awful chastisements that await obstinate sinners. A brazen courtesan [prostitute] who lived there, troubled by a discourse which aroused her remorse, sought to hinder it by jests and shouts, accompanied by noisy instruments. As she was standing close to the window, the Saint cried out: "Beware, my daughter, of resisting grace; before eight days God will punish you." The unhappy creature grew only more boisterous. Eight days elapsed, and the holy preacher happened to be again before the same house. This time she was silent; the windows were shut. The hearers, with dismay on their faces, told the Saint that Catherine (that was the name of the bad woman) had a few hours before died suddenly. "Died!" he repeated. "Well, let her tell us now what she has gained by laughing at Hell. Let us ask her." He utterred these words in an inspired tone, and everyone expected a miracle. Followed by an immense crowd, he went up to the death chamber, and there, after having prayed for an instant, he uncovered the face of the corpse, and said in a loud voice, "Catherine, tell us where art thou now." At this summons, the dead woman lifted her head, while opening her wild eyes; her face borrowed color, her features assumed an expression of horrible despair, and in a mournful voice, she pronounced these words: "In Hell; I am in Hell." And immediately, she fell back again into the condition of a corpse.      "I was present at that event," says one of the witnesses who deposed before the Apostolic tribunal, "but I never could convey the impression it produced on me and the bystanders, nor that which I still feel every time I pass that house and look at that window. At the sight of that ill-fated abode, I still hear the pitiful cry resounding: "In Hell; I am in Hell." (Father Bach, Life of St. Francis Jerome.).F.X. Schouppe, S.J.

In a 1963 lecture, Prof. Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira delivered an incredible meditation on St. Joachim and St. Anne: their confidence in God was unshakable.Watch the video: https://youtu.be/lwnrPa6DqCE"We sometimes pray, but God appears not to heed us. Let us, on such occasions never abandon prayer, but let us rather redouble our confidence, saying with holy Job, 'Although He should kill me I will trust in Him.' (Job 13:15.) O my God, though you should turn your face from me I will not cease to pray, and to hope in your mercy. Let us act in this manner, and we shall obtain from God whatsoever we desire." - St. Alphonsus LiguoriSource: Prayer - The Great Means of Salvation... https://www.ecatholic2000.com/cts/untitled-107.shtmlThis is an incredible book. Here's another quote from it - "Saint Chrysostom says, that God's wrath is provoked against us, only when we neglect to ask His gifts. He is not angry except when we do not ask."Check out the YouTube channel, if you want: https://www.youtube.com/@catholicmenspodcast

Watch the video: https://youtu.be/xsRGWtuxUygSaint John Bosco wrote an incredible book on Saint Vincent de Paul and I would like to read a few quotes from it that challenge the worldly concept of success and failure. Never have so few pages taught me more about life and helped me understand some of the most confusing trials I've ever been through. Hopefully it will do the same for you and clarify my point on the Catholic notion of success. This chapter was a huge source of consolation from Divine Providence for me.The book is called: "Virtue and Christian Refinement, According to the Spirit of St. Vincent de Paul."Check out the YouTube channel, if you want: https://www.youtube.com/@catholicmenspodcast

This is the story of a fanatical rebellion in China and how a group of faithful Catholics defended a Cathedral in Peking during a two month siege. It is the historical account of how a heavenly army defended Beitang cathedral in 1900 and is one of the few documented apparitions of Our Lady in China.Watch the video: https://youtu.be/giuMpSKPticBibliography:1.

We often hear Satan speaking by the mouths of possessed people. A holy Missionary, who has been here for 22 years, told me that he heard him declaring through a woman who was possessed that China was his chosen Empire, and that there was not a single spot of this country where he was not worshiped!” They were told (also by the devil) not to build any buildings higher than 99 feet high.3. http://www.jesuit.org/wp-content/uploads/Studies_Autumn_09.pdf4.

Watch the live stream: https://youtube.com/live/gJziFfNAD1oIn this LIVE episode of the Catholic Men's Podcast we'll go over the Ten Commandments of Chivalry and how it applies to the chilling tale of "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight" which is told in the Arthurian Legends. I think the tale upholds a beautiful standard of conduct which values honor over life and is a fitting read for any Catholic gentleman who wants to learn how to be a true knight of Christ in these modern times.Here's a playlist about real medieval warriors of the Crusades: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1a68IKIffqamCCC1AWajGqnHipE0zjP700:00 Intro01:55 Stream Starts06:27 Modern Knights in 191507:39 Code of Chivalry09:22 Arthurian Legends Show Decline10:37 Why This Story is Important11:21 Continuing the Story of Sir Gawain23:23 Griffin is Fast AsleepCheck out the YouTube channel, if you want: https://www.youtube.com/@catholicmenspodcast

THE CONVERSION OF ST. BRUNO taken from the book, “Hell: If There Is One, What is It, and How to Avoid It” by Monsignor Louis-Gaston de Ségur in 1876."In the life of St. Bruno, founder of the Carthusians, there’s a story which has been studied very thoroughly by the very doctors of the Church, and which presents itself to the most formal criticism of all the historical characters of authenticity; an event that occurred in Paris in the middle of the day, in the presence of many thousands of witnesses, whose details have been collected by its contemporaries, and which has given rise to a great religious Order.A famous doctor from the University of Paris named Raymond Diocres had just died, leaving universal admiration among all his students. The year was 1082.One of the wisest doctors of that time, known throughout Europe for his science, his talent and his virtues, named Bruno, was then in Paris with four companions, and it became a duty to attend the funeral of the illustrious deceased.The body had been laid in the great hall of the Chancellery near the Church of Our Lady, and an immense crowd respectfully surrounded the bed, in which, as is the custom of that time, was exposed the deceased covered with a full face veil..."Check out the YouTube channel, if you want: https://www.youtube.com/@catholicmenspodcast

THE EXORCISM OF NICOLA AUBREY - Taken from the book The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass by Fr. Michael Muller (Imprimatur: Archbishop McClosky, New York 1884). It is indeed a remarkable fact that, as the devil made use of Luther, an apostate monk, to abolish the Mass and deny the Real Presence; in like manner, God made use of His arch-enemy, the devil, to prove the Real Presence. He repeatedly forced him publicly to profess his firm belief in it, to confound the heretics for their disbelief, and acknowledge himself vanquished by Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament. For this purpose, God allowed a certain Mme. Nicola Aubrey, an innocent person, to become possessed by Beelzebub and twenty-nine other evil spirits. The possession took place on the eighth of November, 1565, and lasted until the eighth of February, 1566...Check out the YouTube channel, if you want: https://www.youtube.com/@catholicmenspodcast

Watch the video to see how to crack the code:https://youtu.be/kIbatXw31pMBritish artist Kit Williams published Masquerade, a children's book which combined fantasy storytelling with a real-world treasure hunt. The 1979 book tells a whimsical story about the moon sending a golden hare sculpture as a gift to the sun, with a rabbit named Jack Hare acting as the messenger. However, Jack loses the gift on his journey, and readers are challenged to find it themselves, in real life—prompting a national treasure hunt across Britain. The treasure was real: an 18-karat gold hare adorned with jewels, hidden somewhere in the countryside.Check out the YouTube channel, if you want: https://www.youtube.com/@catholicmenspodcast

I've been under the weather recently and tonight I just started felling better, so I thought I'd tell you about a listener submitted story which I haven't been able to get out of my head.
