The information about the Sisters of Charity was very enlightening! Struck something inside me. And helped me see how poor I really am spiritually, and enlighten me on ways to grow. Thank you for these beautiful discussions! And sadly, when I was a child and told my mom I didn’t want to marry and wanted to be a nun, she asked why I would want to do that, I’d be lonely my whole life. I didn’t have any religious sisters really in my life to get information growing up.. the 70’s and 80’s. Still feel that pull at times. But have 2 grown kids... On a happy note, our diocese has a growing and thriving convent (Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary). They teach at the high school my kids attended. They are so full of joy!

I felt that same "something" hearing about the Sisters of Charity. I can also relate to your feeling, or possibly a calling, that you had as a child. I am from 7...5 brothers and 1 sister, who is a year younger than me. Our Dad, who was the religious parent, would always say he wanted us girls to be nuns. Sadly, my Dad passed away when I was 17. Like you, I have an adult son and married, but I still carry that bit of yearning, and wonder with me. But...as you say, there is always room to grow! God bless you my friend! 🌷

Praise be God they are quickly growing and trying to make more room at their convent, while also building a chapel on some rural land, that was donated to them, with the help of seminarians and lay people.

I would love to see a video to help with a scenario I have seen/read many times and is personally relevant: what is there for people who carry the distinct cross of feeling called by God to a life of intense prayer and community life but who are for the most part rejected by religious orders because they cannot pass the rigor of the application process, for example: not being entirely medically sound, the common requirement to not be taking any psychiatric medications, not passing the psychological eval., or not being deemed "fit" in some other way. This cross is very painful, and I think you could help people like us with a video, Matt. God bless you.

I've been able to work on that pride, accepting humility and letting go and trusting in God. I've learned more through my difficulties that my good days. :D God is good. Fiat!

Right around an hour and 6 minutes, Matt Fradd brings up how he believes that everyone should surround themselves with a community in faith for many reasons. This is something that Fr. Burns believes completely here in Milwaukee. He was such an inspiring priest for me coming into the Milwaukee community. I can firmly stand behind this statement from Matt since that has been the happiest part of my life so far. I would not be who I am today without the Catholic communities that I have been a part of and they keep my soul strong for my family and especially for God. I am beyond thankful for everyone that has contributed to my life and Matt Fradd, Fr. Burns, and so many more people all have impacted my life directly

Thank you Matt and Fr. John for this conversation. Is it possible to explore with guests the issue of women who desire/decern marriage but are uncoupled. It is becoming really painful to be unmarried as a 33 years old woman. Many female friends are also finding it extremely difficult to find partners. This issue is becoming more prevalent and is statistically significant also. I am unsure what I am asking here, but, is it possible to keep this in mind as it would be very helpful for many many women.

In regards to the meat pie discussion: I'm'm wondering if it depends on where you're from in the US. I'm from the south (the low country) and my husband and I adore meat pies and British/Irish food in general (we ate homemade lamb stew the other day and almost cried it was so good). That's our food of preference and southern food, although it has its own regional twist, is quite British. I think it's because that's where most of our roots derive from. Anyway, I am American and I love meat pies and pasties (never had Aussie versions and wouldn't know the difference but have lived in Ireland...so that's more my compass) and just felt I needed to share that 🤪 great interview!

About believing we're loved and lovable, not just loved by God but _liked_ by God, I had this thought the other day: that what an insult to my Creator's handiwork it is, to have nothing good to say about a creation He has called good. And I started to really think through, what could I *honestly* say to Jesus, one-on-one in a room with him but honestly, not just saying what I think I 'should' say I like about myself but saying what I *actually* like about myself.... and honestly, it wasn't much. But I found "earnestness". I genuinely like how earnest I am. Even when I've done things that are actually stupid because of earnestness. I actually smile and feel affection for myself even, maybe especially, remembering those stupidest of times. And I think that might be a marker for something actually likable in me: for something that Jesus probably finds likeable, too. Something I can tell Jesus I like about myself, even when it's a trait that's been involved in situations that embarrassed me in the past. I'd like to find some more things to like about myself... like, really personal-to-me things to really like about myself. But I'm glad I've at least found one. And it's nice to think that this is something God has built me to have, and He likes me and that I am this way, having this earnestness as a part of me.

I so enjoyed this episode. Extraordinary because of the presentation of understanding of how psychological issues blocks our spirituality with the Lord and our need for Him to heal the wounds of our hearts and how He desires for us to let Him in the inner most chamber behind the wall. One thing it’s a fine line but a man should love the Lord more than his wife.

My Mom, who was very religious said don't become a nun, it's unnatural. The funny thing (there you go for a place to use 'the funny thing.') is she has an aunt who we see and love and she seemed very happy as a nun. She was in Lima, Peru for 25 years by request, she was an amazing mathmetician and was in a high school in the US. She was upset when she had to retire, they must do what they are told to do. She did not like having to feed the sisters in the nursing home. I think it's because it was a premonition as to what was to come for her. About not having nuns, we also have Associates in that order. We also had priests who were with the family on different weekends or holidays as part of the family by invitation, so they actually had a family, but they had no responsibility as a parent would.

I have 5 children, I'd be happy to send them all off to religious orders or for priests. I pray at least one of them will have the vocation. Even though I love babies to distraction, so I'd love grandchildren later. In some way, although it'd be a miracle, I'd like them all in monasteries so that I could go and become a Carmelite nun as well. But that is quite unlikely. I guess my husband would have to want to go there to. And it was a real thing in the past, like medieval ages - I'm not sure it's actually feasible now. Maybe they don't accept once married people anymore. Or too old. Still, I like the idea. :)

Wow, listening about His Gaze at mark 1:22:13... This is something beautiful I have found in prayer the last few years. Before finding myself in His gaze, I struggled and struggled in prayer. Then one day, it felt as though He tested the cushions of my heart for His Throne. All at once, I felt both as though I was nothing and everything at the same time. Nothing because in the Shadow of Him, I am nothing. And everything because of His intense Love for me. I hope you stay in His Presence long enough to feel the intensity of His Love for all of you. He is purifying your soul in a way that only He can... This is His Perfection in you. God Bless you.

That was one of the most incredible discussions, packed with so much information. I am very privledged to work in youth ministry, and so much of what Fr. John talked about the 'state of our parishes' is so true and so sad, to see the vision of our mission revolving around the schools needs. I cannot tell you how many youth I have met up with after 12 years of Catholic Education have left the church. Fr. John's explanation of the missing wolves to the eco system, and schools with no Sisters/Nuns in schools is absolutely spot on. In working with a few thousand youth in 30 years, I have only had one young lady and a young man enter into religious life, and both discerned out within a few years. Thank you Matt for having Fr. John as a guest. Side note Matt, my husband and I have 5 children, I look back and altho it was insanely crazy, it was the good times. Our hardest moments were the young adult years - brace yourself!

Here is the thing, in the garden, we, God's children, messed it up, big time, and then, like a true and good Parent, He cleaned up after us, took the rap and cleaned everything up. That is how much He loves us. He still desires a relationship with us. That is what we should get out of that, instead we get that, even a bite out of an apple will make our parent so angry at us, he will not want to be with us. Remember Parents saying this will hurt me more than it hurts you? This just popped into my head thinkinf about a parent doling out a punishment. Physically this was true, emotionally this hurts both of us. Why did you not trust me or share that tree with me? Why did you not know me well enough to know it was dangerous and I was protecting you or wasn't what I have given you more than enough? I do not trust myself to read the Bible by myself, not because the elders in the church did not trust us to read it, I thought that was because at the time people could not read that well. I see this in my child who has autism, but mostly auditory agnosia, not being able to understand or process what is being said. When I went to college, I took many English classes and when we were given a sentence or a couple of sentences and asked us to write a composition on what it meant, I always looked at it in a totally different way than everyone else. The teachers would always love my interpretations because my answer could totally be valid. They wanted me to change my major to English. I always thought if I misinterpreted the Bible, it would screw everything up between God and I and it would be over between us. What is more frustrating to a spouse than you misinterpreting what He says? I admire your ability to translate the love of your bridegroom as not being a sexual or transsexual marriage, something the church teaches against, as you are male and you translate this perfectly. Thank you both for laying bare your souls. It really helps to show that we all can be the bear. A lot of what we may feel is that God is the bear and we have the poker and may accidentally poke Him at any time. That was what they used to teach to our parents, fire and brimstone.

What a wonderful, encouraging episode! As a Catholic and soon-to-be-graduate from my environmental science degree, hearing about the Yellowstone trophic cascade warmed my heart :)

For young women being called to consecrated life, I know for sure GOD isn't calling me to the MC’s 😅😅. Because I already did missionary work and it was so hard for me even if I wanted to do the work and even with all the struggles GOD still used me to do his work.

I do love helping the homeless, poor, just that I don't see myself doing it in my actually vocation 24/7. I feel called to a more less radical poverty but simpler.

@20:29 "...maybe it is that simple." Profound words I needed to hear today. I am not Catholic but I cannot get enough of these conversations.
