Want to put on the mind of Christ? It's not a pithy saying by St. Paul. It's real, actual & doable. Praying declarations makes it happen—St. Paul would agree. Surprised? I've gotta tell you how God is sharing wisdom from heaven for your transformation.

The difference between affirmations and declarations comes down to the difference between your natural mind and the mind of Christ—explained by Richaél Lucero of the the Clumsy Theosis Catholic podcast.

What does the "mystery of God's light" have to do with theosis? EVERYTHING

You've been designed to shine bright like a diamond. (Thanks to the creator of the universe.) The feast of the Transfiguration was God's preview. There's more to it, of course. To share it with you, I recorded it in my most recent podcast episode so you'll know what God was sharing with us on that mountain top. I highly recommend you listen to it.

Episode: enLIGHTened By the Transfiguration of Our Lord

11/08/2023

The Transfiguration is a way of life available to all of us! ✨️✨️ If this peaks your interest (because it does, mine), you really should listen to my most recent episode. With help from St. John Paul II, Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, and some Old Testament authors I can share with you how Christ's transfiguration is the prototype of spiritual illumination AND a breathtaking visual of what is literally happening to us through theosis. ✨️ Can you say, "bling, bling"?

Boy, how I've missed you! I've even missed the work that goes into ALL the behind the scenes stuff. (Remind me I said that in a few months from now when I start complaining about not having enough time. 😉)

Tomorrow, after a 2 month summer break, I'm back on the air and in your podcast feed with episodes that have awesome potential to transform you from the inside out. And trust me--I'm not trying to hype myself or the show up...partly because I kinda suck at self-promotion. There's a reason I lasted less than a month as a sales girl at Foot Locker baaaaaack in the day. Sales and promotion, not my gig.

But this. This is! And I've put a lot of prayer and work into helping you get what you need to live a vibrant Catholic life as a Child of God this coming season.

Look out for tomorrow's episode. 👀
Peace

What can I say that I haven't already said before?! The Word on Fire Catholic Ministries bibles are stunning. 💎😍 The latest volume, The Pentateuch, has finally arrived at mi casa and is home among his brethren. 😁📚 Let me tell you, it does NOT disappoint. After my initial flip through I'm really excited about all the Hebrew word studies that popped out at me! 🤓 (Fellow nerds, I see you. You'll love this.) This volume is backed with tons of supplement materials. I think it's all going to make these "more dry" seeming books of the bible so much more engaging to the casual and not so casual reader. In one word: impressed. 😎

The more I mature in my womanhood, the more I appreciate the support I get from my friendship with St. Anne. Don't be fooled. Men, you can lean on her as a way to support the women in your life. Save this prayer for when you could use a strong intercessor.

In the words of Digital Underground: "All right! Stop whatcha doin', 'cause I'm about to ruin the image and the style that ya used to..." I'm not about to ruin anything! BUT I do want you to stop what you're doing, watch my review, and go get yourself this book while it's on sale! It has amplified my participation in the Divine Liturgy (Mass) and my everyday walk as a Catholic. And no. In case you're wondering, I don't receive any kind of kick back for promoting this book. I found it to be a blessing and I wanted to share that blessing with you. #eucharist Word on Fire Catholic Ministries

virtues gone mad clip

Here’s why this is true. The virtues are connected! They help each other grow. They keep each other in check. G. K. Chesterton isn’t the first person to figure this out. The Church fathers have been saying this forever. Listen here >> https://buff.ly/3mwSjn2 St. Ambrose, St. Augustine, St. Gregory the Great, St. Thomas Aquinas, and so on, have been telling us that: 1. We need to grow in the virtues. 2. All of the virtues. 3. And we cannot safely practice them outside the one true Faith. 4. Or else the *virtues will go mad* ie. they'll turn in on themselves and become unbalanced vices. 😱 If you'd like an explanation/insight on the inseparablity of the virtues, listen to this episode in the Virtues Series. ...Or for more on how to keep the virtues in your life from *going mad,* as Chesterton would say. [This episode is centered on an excerpt taken from Orthodoxy by G.K. Chesterton.] #chesterton #gkchesterton #chestertonquote #gkchestertonquote #virtues #virtuesgonemad #chestertonorthodoxy #orthodoxy #suicideofthought #catholicvirtue #howtogrowinvirtue #jesus #theosis #churchfathersandvirtue #catholicpodcast #podcast #faithformation #discipleship #howtofollowjesus #howtobecomeasaint

Natural virtues CLIP (Made by Headliner)

St. Thomas Aquinas said, "grace builds on nature." The virtues are the perfect example of this! We hear plenty about the cardinal and theological virtues. But what about the natural virtues?! No one talks about them—and they should. The natural virtues make up our work and discipline in the virtuous life. They are what God's grace builds upon. I explain what the natural virtues are, how to cultivate them, and how they fit into God's plan for your holiness. It's all here https://buff.ly/3lLG0mb #catholic #catholicpodcast #catholicmen #catholicwomen #catholicministry #catholicfaith #catholicprayer #catholiclife #catholicchurch #saint #holiness #holy #theosis #clumsytheosis #rcia #faithformation #catholicsaint #podcast #catechism #Jesus #prayer #pray #faith #virtue

perfect love (Made by Headliner)

"Perfect love casts out all fear." I love this. I want this. I'm also intimidated by this. You feel me? I want to love perfectly. But how do I do it? What are some signs I could use some improvements? And what are the things that cause me to stumble? Jesus gave the answers to St. Catherine of Siena. And I share them in the last episode of the Armor of God series. >> https://buff.ly/3iHaIvd When you listen you learn some tips from Jesus himself about loving perfectly. Have fun! #perfectlove #catholic #catholicpodcast #catholicmen #catholicwomen #catholicministry #catholicministry #catholicfaith #catholicprayer #catholiclife #catholicchurch #saint #holiness #holy #theosis #clumsytheosis #rcia #faithformation #catholicsaint #podcast #catechism #Jesus #prayer #pray #faith

Do you know what today's Gospel reading is on? The Beatitudes! What?! What?! The most fruitful thing I did in 2020 was spend time praying over and pondering the beatitudes in my heart. So naturally, I had to share it with my listeners in the form of a series. Find it here: https://buff.ly/3cokVce And a number of them wrote in telling me how much they loved it. One said, "I just want to thank you for the podcasts on the Beatitudes and Gifts of the Holy Spirit. I've found myself parked on this topic for some time now. Thank you." I encourage you to listen. You can find 15-20 minutes. I have faith in you. #beatitudes #catholic #catholicpodcast #catholicmen #catholicwomen #catholicministry #catholicministry #catholicfaith #catholicprayer #catholiclife #catholicchurch #saint #holiness #holy #theosis #clumsytheosis #rcia #faithformation #catholicsaint #podcast #catechism #Jesus #prayer #pray #faith #howtopray #howtobelieve #jesuslovesyou

Listen to the final episode of the series on the armor of God here! >> https://buff.ly/3yIdDtn In this episode I reveal what St. Paul meant when he said the "Sword of the Spirit is the Word of God." Hint: it’s not just about the bible. I also go over how to use it for both defense and offense. (Exciting stuff.) But my favorite part is about prayer in the Spirit and how it animates the whole armor of God. Plus how to actually do it. #swordofthespirit #prayerinthespirit #holyspirit #catholic
