The Frank Friar - Episode 232: Residing in Misery

I continue to speak about the opera I saw called The Damnation of Faust. I speak about a line that Faust sings early in the opera “My misery is jealous of their joy.” I talk about the context of this line and what we can learn from it as Catholics.

Yet, how are we to deal with this challenge in the light of the current crisis in the USA? Today I address these things in this podcast.

The Frank Friar - Episode 156: The Hands, The Eucharist, and Feeding the Hungry (Part 2)

Here is part two of my conference I gave the parish’s eucharistic minsters and lectors.  I am still following the logic and danger of familiarity touched upon in part one.  In this episode I talk about the use of our heads during Mass.  I bring in insights from St. Cyril of Jerusalem (one of my favorite saints).  From that point I talk about how we continue to feed people, while also being prepared for the heavenly wedding feast.  Enjoy!

The Frank Friar - Episode 131: The Revelation of Christ the King

Today, I give a reflection about the feast day of Christ the King.  Over the years, I find myself growing more in love with this feast.  Looking at the readings for that feast I see a beautiful unfolding of the paschal mystery which helps us to understand Christ as OUR king.  I offer those thoughts to you.
