A prayer request: https://ctkclassical.org/employment.html Jesus Christ still lives upon earth as surely, though in another and what must be called a "mystical" sense, as He lived two thousand years ago. For He has a Body in which He lives, a Voice with which He speaks. As two thousand years ago He assumed one kind of Body by which to accomplish His purposes, so He has assumed now another kind of Body in which to continue them; and that Body consists of a unity of a myriad of cells—each cell a living soul complete in itself—transcending the sum of the cells and yet expressing itself through them. Christianity, then, to the Catholic is not merely an individual matter—though it is that also, as surely as the cell has individual relations with the main life of the body. But it is far more: it is corporate and transcendent. The Catholic does not merely as a self-contained unit suck out grace through this or that sacramental channel; the priest to him is not just a viceregent who represents or may misrep

Upon this hil Y fond a tree, Undir the tree a man sittynge, From heed to foot woundid was he, His herte blood Y sigh bledinge: A semeli man to ben a king, A graciouse face to loken unto; I askide whi he had peynynge, He seide, Quia amore langueo. I am Truelove that fals was nevere. My sistyr, Mannis Soule, Y loved hir thus. Bicause we wolde in no wise discevere, I lefte my kyngdom glorious. I purveide for hir a paleis precious; Sche fleyth; Y folowe. Y soughte hir so, I suffride this peyne piteuous, Quia amore langueo.

The language of theology, properly understood, gives birth to the language of love.  --N.T. Wright, What Saint Paul Really Said --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/hucklefather/support

I pledge to seek the truth and to love all that is good and beautiful. I will strive to achieve clarity of thought, nobility of character, and purity of heart. Therefore, I will pursue my education with diligence, humility, and honor, embracing excellence and renouncing mediocrity. I will assume responsibility for my actions. I will treat my peers, my teachers, and myself with the utmost dignity and respect. And I will aspire above all to wisdom and to a life of faith, hope, and charity, so that I might fulfill my destiny as a Christ-like Thinker for the Kingdom of God.  Christ the King Scholars' Pledge --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/hucklefather/support

"Our ordinary activities are not an insignificant matter. Rather they are the very hinge on which our sanctity turns, and they offer us constant opportunities of meeting God, and of praising him and glorifying him through our intellectual or manual work."   --Saint Josemaría Escrivá --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/hucklefather/support

As a pastor, I am always open to listening and accepting thoughtful feedback, which I value and need in order for my priestly service to be fruitful. I sincerely wish for there to be a deeper spirit of collaboration with the people of these parishes. I am praying for the grace to respond to what feels like a curse with a blessing. It is hard. So, as a gesture of good will, I hope that re-forming the CTK Pastoral Council will provide an ongoing forum for this kind of communication and collaboration. More specifics will be shared soon. Please begin praying for its fruitfulness. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/hucklefather/support

During Advent, the priests of the Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas will be walking through the basic Gospel message. This week focuses on the second part of the Gospel: that we are born on a battlefield and that a spiritual enemy is intent upon our enslavement and degradation.  "Hell is not to love any more, madame. Not to love any more! That sounds quite ordinary to you. To a human being still alive, it means to love less or love elsewhere. To understand is still a way of loving. But suppose this faculty which seems so inseparably ours, of our very essence, should disappear! Oh, prodigy! To stop loving, to stop understanding—and yet to live. The error common to us all is to invest these damned with something still inherently alive, something of our own inherent mobility, whereas in truth time and movement have ceased for them; they are fixed for ever. Alas, if God’s own hand were to lead us to one of these unhappy things, even if once it had been the dearest of our friends, what could we say to it?

During Advent, the priests of the Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas will be walking through the basic Gospel message. This week focuses on the first part of the Gospel: that we are created, and we were meant to be loved and to love. “Something I constantly notice is that unembarrassed joy has become rarer. Joy today is increasingly saddled with moral and ideological burdens, so to speak. When someone rejoices, he is afraid of offending against solidarity with the many people who suffer. I don't have any right to rejoice, people think, in a world where there is so much misery, so much injustice. "I can understand that. There is a moral attitude at work here. But this attitude is nonetheless wrong. The loss of joy does not make the world better - and, conversely, refusing joy for the sake of suffering does not help those who suffer. The contrary is true. The world needs people who discover the good, who rejoice in it and thereby derive the impetus and courage to do good. Joy, then, does not break with solid

Christianity does not solve “problems”; it merely obliges us to live them at a higher level. Those who claim that it does solve them entangle it in the irony of every solution. --Don Colacho --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/hucklefather/support

Please note: my father never let me drive on the interstate!        “We sense that the human body is a precious thing, worthy of our reverence. It is not a tool, not an object of consumption like a steak or a keg of beer, not an animate provider of pleasure. It is the outward expression of a profound mystery, that of another human being.” ― Anthony Esolen --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/hucklefather/support
