The Frank Friar - Episode 244: The Royal Road

In the book ‘The Way of Perfection’ St. Teresa of Avila writes about the royal road of prayer. I speak about her wisdom today. This road is something we are all called to walk upon in this life.

The Frank Friar - Episode 243: Hope: The Holy Thirst

Sad times in the Archdiocese of New York. In that light, I speak about the second reading from the 3rd Sunday of Lent. St. Paul offers us a powerful message on wisdom. Hope is needed at all times but during our current times the Lord may be calling us to reflect upon this gift He has given us.

The Frank Friar - Episode 239: The Power of a Name

For the episode today I reflect on the Temptation of Christ in the 4th Chapter of Matthew’s Gospel. I focus on the use of names during that passage. Who says whose name? What is in a name? What does it mean to speak another’s name? All these are questions I grapple with in the episode today. If you like my podcast, please make sure to subscribe to the podcast it really does help me.
