What a delight to have a conversation with Gretchen Crowe about two of my favorite topics - the Holy Rosary of Our Lady and St. Pope John Paul II! Gretchen has authored a beautiful book entitled "Praying the Rosary with St. John Paul II" which is filled with reflections and images which illuminate the mysteries of this treasured prayer through the gaze of this beloved saint. We highly recommend this book!

Self-discovery and Gift of Self - Beginning to Pray: Words of Encouragement for Spiritual Pilgrims w/Dr. Anthony Lilles Podcast
In this episode of Beginning to Pray: Words of Encouragement for Spiritual Pilgrims, Dr. Lilles reflects on Self-discovery and Gift of Self - the Truth Christ Reveals.
St. John Paul II sincerely believed that we are so created that we can only discover the truth about ourselves when we give ourselves to another. He believed this from his own experience. He marveled how it was possible to meet someone and be so overwhelmed by their beauty that you should want to sacrifice everything for their sake, that this other person might thrive. In this he glimpsed not only the beauty of God's plan for man and woman in marriage, but also the beauty of Christ's love for each and every soul.

Dr. Lilles' continues his Day of Recollection offered in April 2013.
In an age of great confusion and rejection of God, St. Therese of Lisieux, Blessed Elisabeth of the Trinity and John Paul II find in Christ the reason for our hope. Starting with St. Therese's devotion to the Holy Face expressed in living her life as a offering to merciful love, we will see how the pathway she pioneered was followed and further developed in the spiritual missions of Blessed Elisabeth of the Trinity and Blessed John Paul II. In particular, we will contemplate the relationship of mercy and hope that the Face of Christ helps us to see when hope and mercy are most needed so that we too can follow the path of mercy.

Dr. Lilles' offered a Day of Recollection in April 2013. We are blessed to have the presentations he gave that day in audio form. They are OUTSTANDING!
Here is Presentation 1:
Mental prayer, which is the prayer that searches the face of Christ, is a source of conversion. Beautiful truths about the incarnation and the paschal mystery come together in the face of Risen Lord who gazes on us with love. In the shadow of this love, we discover the freedom to turn ourselves to the Lord ever more completely. Our day begins with a meditation on the psalms which point the way to this prayer. We will introduce the saints who will guide us through our reflections: St. Teresa of Avila, St. John of the Cross, St. Therese of Lisieux, Blessed Elisabeth of the Trinity and Blessed John Paul II.

Episode 6- "Democracy in America" by Alexis de Tocqueville is the focus of this episode. What is "democracy" and why did it work it in the American experience. There is much that is good and sound in the founding of "modern western democracy", but what has happened in the view of "Evangelium Vitae" that has possible knocked it off track.

Episode 5- The "Declaration of Independence" and American political philosophy and what it involves. What is the "natural law" and how it applies to political thought. There are principals of political "rights and wrongs" and these are the foundations for political practice (which are not always followed by the human person). What are the "self-evident" truths? What are "natural rights"? Why did this system of thought survive given the American experience compared to the results of the French revolution and its theories? Both might be "children" of the Enlightenment, but one was hostile to Christianity, the other embraced it.
