118 Fasting with Guest Beth Bubik

As we begin Lent, we spoke with Beth Bubik about fasting. Jesus says to his disciples “when we fast” not “if.” Beth speaks on the spiritual and health aspects of fasting and how to incorporate it into our daily lives rather than just on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday.

Production note:

There was a technology issue and we lost about 10 seconds of recording. Beth had been talking about our metabolism and how things with food consumption have changed since the middle ages. Stacy recorded a short bridge between sections but everything else is intact. Thank you for your understanding.

109 The Idol of Perfection

In this episode, Annie, Lauren, and Stacy have a discussion about the struggles we see in holding ourself and others to perfectionism and combatting that with the peace of Christ.

John 6:70 “Jesus answered them, “Did I not choose you twelve? Yet is not one of you a devil?’”

Eph 2:14-17 “For he is our peace, he who made both one and broke down the dividing wall of enmity, through his flesh, abolishing the law with its commandments and legal claims, that he might create in himself one new person in place of the two, thus establishing peace, and might reconcile both with God, in one body, through the cross, putting that enmity to death by it.”

In this episode Annie, Alisha, Lauren, and Stacy reflect over the last year. We talk about funny happenings, our favorite episodes, and thighs.

There is a discussion in part of this episode as to whether or not any of the apostles started a riot by not finishing their teachings when Jesus sent them out two by two. We did look it up and no there is no Biblical reference to the apostles starting a riot. There is a reference in Acts to Paul and his disciples starting a riot but as far as the apostles doing that, it was just what was depicted on The Chosen.

https://tanbooks.com/?rfsn=7123077.dfb511 From the back cover's About the Author:A convert to Catholicism, Alexandra Greeley, author of Cooking with the Saints, has spent her life working in the food world as a cookbook author, restaurant reviewer, and a trained cook. Becoming Catholic shaped her food passion, forging a pathway to God through her food-faith volunteer work at her former parish, Saint Veronica Catholic Church in Chantilly, Virginia. There she started cooking classes honoring the saints and began an organic garden to feed the hungry.

Due to weather and illness the co-hosts of Coffee & Catholics were not able to meet this month to record. Rather than missing an episode or asking listeners to wait four weeks for the next episode we decided to do something a little different. 

In this episode, Stacy reflects on the talks given at the 2022 Oklahoma Catholic Women's Conference by three fantastic speakers; Leah Darrow, Sr. Marie Veritas, and Kimberly Hahn.

This is our final episode of this series on Catholic Social Justice Teaching.

In this episode Alisha, Annie, Lauren, and Stacy discuss Feminism through the lens of Rights and Responsibilities and Solidarity, both being themes of Catholic Social Justice Teaching. We discuss the roots of feminism and how the rhetoric has shifted since the 60s and 70s. We propose that we as Catholics should be working together to refocus the feminist conversation back from narrowed personal gains to that of a wider global sustainability. Helping other women be successful and setting the world ablaze with what women are. 

"The world doesn't need what women have. The world needs what women are." - St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross (St. Edith Stein)    

**** Possible trigger topics that are discussed- abuse, briefly pornography and sex trafficking, abortion

We would like to remind listeners that this podcast is in a talk show format, in that the four of us simply gather around a dining room table and discuss topics that pertain to being Catholic and a woman. We share our stories in the hope that it helps others know that they are not alone. We do not claim to have any official authority when it comes to church teachings. We do our research and ask that all of our listeners do the same. We are on this journey with you and so glad to be. Thanks be to God!

We decided at our last recording session to air the episode on doubt entering into our faith life in August. 

This episode seemed perfect for right after Mother's Day and as a companion to our last episode, Episode #20 Mom Wars: Children at Church. 

In this episode we discuss how we have to support each other as a community to thrive. From helping new moms to visiting the homebound, what can we do to help each other experience Christ in the world and through the members of the Church. 

Please share what has worked in your parish. Share your story of when someone helped you. 

I think here at Coffee and Catholics would expand the old saying of "It Takes a Village to raise a Child." to "It Takes a Village to help all of us get to Heaven." And it starts with prayer and silence with the Lord, so that we can be filled with His love and shine His light on others though our deeds.

We are missing Noelle for this episode. We are hoping to have all five of us back together soon.

In this episode we discuss the debate about having children in church.

Should children be in the pews with family? In the nursery? 

What can we do to help families in church? 

Not all children are created the same, should there be only one answer? 

Come listen to our take on the situation and share you stories with us.

Episode #18: Holy Week Reflection was just published

In this episode Noelle, Annie, Alisha, and Stacy discuss Holy Week. We are missing Lauren but have Alisha's sweet baby cooing in the background. During this episode we discuss what Holy Week means to us, we reflect on how Holy Week and Mass in general has been different for many of us over the past year, and we suggest some practical ways to go deeper into Holy Week. We hope you enjoy and always look forward to hearing your thoughts. 

An Act of Spiritual Communion My Jesus,  I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.  I love You above all things,  and I desire to receive You into my soul.  Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally,  come at least spiritually into my heart.  I embrace You as if You were already there  and unite myself wholly to You.  Never permit me to be separated from You.

Amen.

First we would like to apologize for some of the muffled voices. When we recorded this episode only my computer mic was picking any of us up. We did not discover the issue until much later. We hope you can still enjoy this episode and find something that connects with you. 

In this episode, we discuss how saying no, and accepting when others tell us no, might be difficult at times but it is important for us to do so gracefully.  We also discuss the importance of us discerning why we are saying no and the difference between self-care and soul-care. 

Since we recorded this episode several of us personally have had to say no to family gatherings this holiday season. It has been very hard on us but it has helped to discuss them with each other. If you are struggling with this know we are with you and are praying for you. Also, know that that you can always comment here, on any of our social media pages, or email us, coffeeandcatholics@gmail.com , if you need someone to hear your story as well. 

We pray you have a Blessed ending to you Advent, a Joyful Christmas, and a Happy New Year!
