A Holy Door (Latin: Porta Sancta) is traditionally an entrance portal located within the Papal major basilicas in Rome. The doors are normally sealed by mortar and cement from the inside so that they cannot be opened. They are ceremoniously opened during Jubilee years designated by the Pope, for pilgrims who enter through those doors may piously gain the plenary indulgences attached with the Jubilee year celebrations.
Today, your host Lee McMahon is joined by two rockstar educators, Jennie Punswick and Sebastian D'Amico for the first part of a beautiful conversation about wrestling the intellectual giants of the Church and breaking-open jubilee doors of mercy!
Stay tuned for next week's episode where they unpack their greatest hits from paragraphs 17-23 of Mane Nobiscum Domine by Pope St. John Paul II.

Marco Casanova | I’m a Roman Catholic, baptized as a baby of a lovely family in Houston, TX. There, a desire to serve the Lord as a priest welled up in my heart. I eventually entered St. Charles Borromeo Seminary in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, PA. I was in priestly formation for eight and half years, and completed undergraduate and graduate studies in Philosophy and Theology. Coming to grips with my need for radical redemption in my broken sexuality, I surrendered my plan to become a priest, and resigned from the seminary. I immediately came on as an intern with Desert Stream Ministries. Working now as the Assistant Director, I have been privileged to work alongside this healing army.

In today's episode, your host Lee McMahon meets with some dear friends transitional Deacon Timothy Skoch, deacon-to-be Aaron Waldeck, and FOCUS missionary Lucy Skoch for a great discussion on Mary, Our Lady of the Eucharist. Together we discuss true friendship and share our biggest takeaways from the final section of Ecclesia de Eucharistia by Pope St. John Paul II, an ode to Our Lady of the Eucharist.
"Friendship is defined as “a habitual, reciprocal, and mutually known benevolence founded upon a certain ‘communicatio’.” This ‘communicatio’ consists in the sharing of five things, namely in life, intellect, will, secrets, and goods."
- Santiago Ramírez, De Caritate: In II–II Summae Theologiae Divi Thomae Expositio [QQ. XXIII-XLIV] (Salamanca: Editorial San Esteban, 1998), 38–39. as quoted in Fr. Angel Perez-Lopez, “Conjugal Charity and the Pastoral Care of the Conjugal Bond in Amoris Laetitia”, in Scripta Fulgentina vol. XXVI issue No. 51-52 (Spain: Institute of Theology San Fulgencio), 83-119.*
