The Frank Friar

The Church calls for three practices for Lent: Prayer, Fasting, Almsgiving. In the episode today, I speak about going deeper into our almsgiving practice. What can we do to grow in our almsgiving? That is the question I wrestle today with you all. Prayers! If you like my podcast, please make sure to subscribe to the podcast it really does help me.

I recently helped at a Knights of Columbus retreat. One of my talks dealt with vulnerability and love. I speak about that vulnerability today in the podcast today as a necessity for our Lent. Know I’ll be praying for you all during Lent. If you like my podcast, please make sure to subscribe to the podcast it really does help me.

Lent will be here before we know it. Also, tomorrow is the world day of the sick. All of this plus an episode for another podcast I listen to got me thinking about the concept of a good. This idea and prayer are something old in the mind and heart of the Church even though in our recent times it has been relegated to the side. Today, I speak about the prayer for a good death and a possible action to take during Lent this year. If you like my podcast, please make sure to subscribe to the podcast it really does help me.

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.

Today, I talk about a recent opera I saw called The Damnation of Faust. I saw this with a #Carmelite brother of mine. This French opera was quite striking in its depicting of the source material from Goethe. I speak about an aspect of this opera in the episode today.
