During the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, Our Lady of Good Success appeared in Quito, Ecuador to a Spanish nun whose little-known but extraordinary life has a direct connection with our days.

There was once a pious woman who had been generous to the Holy Souls in purgatory. When she was dying, she was burdened by a deathbed depression where she thought that there was no hope for her soul. Simultaneously there was a concentrated effort by the powers of Hell to drive the her to lose faith and to think that Our Lord would never have mercy on her. This was done in a bid to reduce her to the mortal sin of despair, so the demons could claim her soul. Suddenly, the pious woman saw the souls of thousands of supporters who assured her that she could attain the Heavenly Prize. She asked them who they were. "We are the souls which you have delivered from Purgatory, we, in our turn come to help you, and very soon we shall conduct you to Paradise." The pious woman's heart was gladdened, and soon afterwards she died in enviable happiness. I would like to help you to also have compassion for the Poor Souls in Purgatory by telling you two of my favorite documented stories about them.  The first is about a pious servant woman and the second is about a Polish prince who was an avowed atheist.

In the heart of 18th century France, a terrifying creature known as the Beast of Gevaudan emerged from the shadows, leaving a trail of terror and bloodshed in its wake. This enigmatic beast, an enormous wolf-like creature with a taste for human flesh, struck fear into the hearts of the people of the Gévaudan region. This was at a time when demonic activity was reaching a fever pitch in France culminating in the satanic beheadings of the French Revolution. Witches and hexes were becoming rampant. It seemed as if the wolf had a devil-like quality, for it seemed to focus on human game rather than the livestock close by. This wolf was only defeated through one man’s devotion and trust in the Mother of God, which shows us that we have to confide in Our Lady against all odds. You can find this account in the book, “Beast” by Gustavo Sanchez Romero and S.R. Schwalb.

Soon after the Cure d'Ars had opened his house of refuge for the poor orphans of the district, the strangest noises began to disturb his rest at night, and to trouble the quiet of his presbytery. 
Always at midnight, three violent knocks against the door of the presbytery generally warned the Cure d'Ars of the presence of his enemy; these knocks were followed by others more or less heavy, according as his sleep was more or less profound. After having diverted himself by making a frightful uproar on the staircase, the demon entered the room, seized the curtains of the bed, shook them so furiously that the poor inmate never could understand why they were not torn to atoms. Sometimes the malignant spirit knocked like some one who was demanding admittance, and the next moment, without the door being opened, he was in the room, moving about the chairs, deranging the furniture, rummaging everywhere, calling the Cure with a mocking voice, 'Vianney, Vianney!' and adding to his name the most outrageous qualifications and menaces. 'Eater of truffles, we shall have you, we shall have you! We hold you, we hold you!'

There were plenty of celebrity Catholics in the past whom everyone regarded as saints, but then were discovered to be just the opposite. Which brings me to the story of Pelagius, which I found in "The Catechist,” a compilation of true stories from Catholic literature, by Canon G.E. Howe.

I decided to join St. Louis de Montfort Academy for their 20-mile pilgrimage to the North American Martyrs Shrine. 

The word “martyr” comes from a Greek word meaning “witness.” By definition, a martyr is somebody who suffers death for the Catholic Faith as a witness to Christ.

A group of saints that fit this category so well is the North American martyrs, who gave witness to the Faith by the shedding of their blood for the conversion of the Native Americans.

Eight French Jesuits traveled to the New World -- what is now Canada and New York -- to convert the natives. After enduring years of suffering and hardship, they paid the ultimate price by willingly shedding their blood for Christ.

There were six priests: Frs. Isaac Jogues, Jean de Brebeuf, Noel Chabanel, Charles Garnier, Gabriel Lalemant, and Antoine Daniel, along with two lay helpers: Rene Goupil and Jean de Lalande.

It was an honor to rejoin my alma mater for this pilgrimage. It was an extremely blessed day.

Our story begins in the Spring of 1917. Half a mile to the south of Fatima, along a road so narrow that a team of oxen can scarcely pass, lies the village of Aljustrel where three young shepherds lived: Lucia dos Santos, and her cousins Francisco and Jacinta Marto. They were 10, 9, and 7 years old respectively at the time of the apparitions.

Two miraculous stories involving the little seers of Our Lady of Fatima. My jaw dropped when I read them and I just had to tell you all about it immediately.

And before you bring it up... yes. There's a possibility that it could just be a legend. There's not an abundance of historical evidence, but you know what... I don't care. It's a darn good story. If people can be inspired by fiction, then why can't I admire this incredible account be it legend or not.

I'd like to ask any Catholics watching this video if you were ever told that all religions are the same? That all religions are just different paths to the same God. Saint John Bosco would definitely disagree with that statement. In his masterful work, “A Catholic Instructed in His Religion” he faithfully repeated the doctrine that our faith has held for the last 2,000 years: that the Catholic Church is the one, true Church founded by Our Lord Jesus Christ himself. Throughout the book, Don Bosco categorically defines the errors of many false religions in the form of a dialogue between a father and his children. Today I would like to tell you what he wrote about Martin Luther.

Read the article from Crisis Magazine here: https://crisismagazine.com/opi...


Nestled in West Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley, the town of Middleway boasts a ghost story that rivals the most famous haunted tales. What makes this haunting stand out is that it is a Catholic story—a tale of sacraments denied, vengeful spirits, a saintly Catholic priest, and the power of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. And the story of the “Wizard Clip” is not just a legend, for the evidence supporting its veracity led Cardinal Gibbons’ own private secretary, then the editor of the Catholic Review, to proclaim it the “truest ghost story ever told.”

The Siege of Arsur and the Grandeur of Sacrifice.

Even the Muslims respected the Crusader's spirit of sacrifice. Even though it's been 20 years since I first heard this story, it still blows my mind.

The Singing Bone by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm

Once upon a time in a certain country there was great concern about a wild boar that was destroying the peasants' fields, killing the cattle, and ripping people apart with its tusks. The king promised a large reward to anyone who could free the land from this plague, but the beast was so large and strong that no one dared to go near the woods where it lived. Finally the king proclaimed that whoever could capture or kill the wild boar should have his only daughter in marriage.

Now in this country there lived two brothers, sons of a poor man. They declared that they dared to attempt the task. The older one, who was crafty and shrewd, did so out of pride. The younger one, who was innocent and simple, did so because of his kind heart.

The king said, "In order to be more sure of finding the beast, you should enter the woods from opposite sides."

Thus the older one entered the woods from the west, and the younger one from the east.

After the younger one had walked a little while, a little dwarf stepped up to him. He held a black spear in his hand and said, "I am giving you this spear because your heart is innocent and good. With it you can confidently attack the wild boar. It will do you no harm."

He thanked the dwarf, put the spear on his shoulder, and walked on fearlessly.

Before long he saw the beast. It attacked him, but he held the spear toward it, and in its blind fury it ran into the spear with such force that its heart was slashed in two.

Then he put the monster on his back and turned towards home, intending to take it to the king.

Emerging from the other side of the woods, he came to a house where people were making merry drinking wine and dancing. His older brother was there too. Thinking that the boar would not run away from him any time soon, he had decided to drink himself some real courage. When he saw his younger brother coming out of the woods with his booty, his envious and evil heart gave him no peace.

He called out to him, "Come in, dear brother. Rest and refresh yourself with a beaker of wine."

The younger brother, suspecting no evil, went in and told him about the good dwarf who had given him the spear with which he had killed the boar.

The older brother kept him there until evening, and then they set forth together. After dark they came to a bridge over a brook, and the older brother let the younger one go first. When the younger brother reached the middle above the water, the older one gave him such a blow from behind that he fell down dead.

He buried him beneath the bridge, took the boar, and delivered it to the king, pretending that he had killed it. With this he received the king's daughter in marriage.

When his younger brother did not return he said, "The boar must have ripped him apart," and every one believed it.

But as nothing remains hidden from God, this black deed was also to come to light.

After many long years a shepherd was driving his herd across the bridge and saw a little snow-white bone lying in the sand below. Thinking that it would make a good mouthpiece, he climbed down, picked it up, and then carved out of it a mouthpiece for his horn. When he blew into it for the first time, to his great astonishment the bone began to sing by itself:

Oh, my dear shepherd,
You are blowing on my little bone.
My brother killed me,
And buried me beneath the bridge,
To get the wild boor
For the daughter of the king.

"What a wonderful horn," said the shepherd. "It sings by itself. I must take it to the king."

When he brought it before the king, the horn again began to sing its little song. The king understood it well, and had the earth beneath the bridge dug up. Then the whole skeleton of the murdered man came to light.

The wicked brother could not deny the deed. He was sewn into a sack and drowned alive. The murdered man's bones were laid to rest in a beautiful grave in the churchyard.

This curious event took place in Los Angeles on the night of February 24, 1942. Air-raid sirens were blasting and the anti-aircraft guns firing on some weird apparition in the sky. Eyewitnesses had conflicting opinions about what they saw: a Japanese squadron of fighter planes, a giant moth, a tactical blimp and even a massive coffee pot. We will learn all the facts behind this crazy incident in today's podcast.

It is September of 1936. The sun beats down on the castle of Toledo: the Alcázar. General Moscardo surveys the scorched battlefield below him and spies seven more trucks of Communist troops rolling in from afar. It seems like a death sentence for the 1,760 souls under his care, held up in the old castle defending their land from the communist onslaught. There were 1205 defenders, including soldiers, police and civilians. There were also 555 non combatants: nuns, women and children. They had survived constant enemy bombardment and harassment for almost two months. But what was this? The republican communist General Requelme appeared to have a megaphone and a white flag….

It's almost midnight right now, but I just realized that tomorrow, April 27th, is the feast of St. Peter Armengol. I've literally been waiting for years to tell his story on the podcast and launch it right on his feastday, so I quickly found a mic and recorded this in some random room. He's truly one of my favorite saints because he is a symbol of confidence in Our Lady.

Here's the other podcast I was talking about:

An excellent mystery story by Anna Katherine Green. One of the biggest plot twists I've ever read at the end - a complete genre change. This is the abridged version.

Caledonian Forest 120 AD

" Written by Titus Ursus, Primus pilus of Legiō IX Hispana, in the third year of Hadrian's reign (* 120 AD). This will probably be the last papyrus and entry in my diary. Our legion was ambushed in the wild realm called Caledonian Forest and was almost completely annihilated. Half of my first cohort is all that was left of the IX legiō. We were pushed into the marsh and we will probably die here, fighting bravely to the end in the name of Rome and the Emperor. We were attacked by a demonic pack of the barbaric Picts. They looked more like wild beasts than humans. Some of them were dressed in animal furs, painted with strange runic signs... others seemed to be two-legged wild beasts. They tore us apart as if we were made of paper! I saw our legatus and my brothers in arms being eaten alive, I will never forget their screams. The barbarians attacked us unnoticed, quickly and with wild fury, then disappeared in the fog. Mainly at night. Our shields, swords and armor were no use here. The enemy we face seems to be the ancient wrath of some dark gods we have awakened. We should never invade these lands. I hear demonic howls, they're coming! They're coming! "

Scrap of the papyrus written by Centurion Titus Ursus. Found in October 120AD in the Caledonian Forest. Taken to Rome, where it was presented to the emperor and then burned. Two years later, Emperor Hadrian ordered the construction of a wall on the border of the land called Caledonia, in north Britannia.

This true story revolves around the Nazi invasion of Norway and $9 million worth of gold bullion, which must be protected from the invaders at all costs — it has to be shipped to America for safe keeping. In fact, the crafty Norwegian resistance managed to smuggle out every gold brick on the ship “Bomma,” which safely docked in Baltimore on June 28, 1940. When the police escort to the bank asked the captain how they managed to pull it off, he said that Norwegian children had transported the gold bars hidden on their sleds, right under the noses of the German sentries and buried them in the snow on the beach. These dropsites were marked by a snowman to be picked up by the crew of the Bomma the next day.

I’m not very happy with the way this story ends, but I’m enthralled with the ingenious story structure and attention to detail in description. It’s so well done, that as I read, I can almost smell the Fall and see the full moon over the church that they visit in the story. It’s the perfect time of year to read it and I hope you enjoy the ride, because it’s been in the back of my head during all the years I’ve run this podcast. I only like it because it reminds me of the statues of knights that I saw in Europe.

This is a piece of Russian folklore that caught my fancy way back in 2016 when I started the podcast and I have been meaning to perform it ever since. I don't know why I liked it so much. Maybe because it's so much better than some of the lame tales we were raised on. It's original, it's interesting and a bit crazy. Oh and by the way, there's a hundred more Prince Ivan stories in Russia besides this one. Enjoy...

This is the author's introduction to this chilling true story: Carl Ethan Akeley is considered the “Father of Modern Taxidermy, a title not lightly earned. I first saw his work in New York’s American Museum of Natural History in 1947, a small boy in hot flannel, dripping ice cream over his Buster Browns in the July heat. His bronzes of lion spearing, taken from his adventures with the Nandi of British East Africa, are still my favorite sculptures on earth. Perhaps I always related to Akeley because he was an American who proved that my own dreams of going to Africa were not in vain. Akeley, at heart a sculptor, caught better than anyone else the action and reality of his still-unspoiled Africa. Yet he paid a very high admission fee for his exposure, killing a wounded leopard with his bare hands and being left for dead in the icy heights of equatorial mountains after being savaged by an elephant. At last, in 1926, Carl Akeley paid his final dues for his lifestyle, dying of pneumonia on the high, chillingly wet slopes of the remote Virunga volcanoes of what was then the Belgian Congo, where he had collected specimens of the mountain gorilla for the museum. Should you walk into the Museum of Natural History in New York City, you will see a magnificent diorama of the mountain gorilla, which actually is more than a memory to Akeley. It is an exact depiction of his grave, in the saddle between Mount Karasimbi and Mount Mikeno. The peaks in the background, behind the spot where his wife laid his tired and African-worn bones, are the volcanoes of Nyamlagira and Nyiragongo. In creating his works for the museum, Akeley was the most generous of men, naming the display area after his close friend Theodore Roosevelt. He also dedicated his only book, In Brightest Africa (1920), to the ex-president. The years have a way of saying thanks in kind: the Roosevelt Hall is now the Akeley Hall, and small boys like me from around the world still thank him." -- Peter Hathaway Capstick, Death in a Lonely Land.

Ever since my friend, Mr. Evan Olwell sent me this story, I haven't been able to get it out of my head. It's haunting really. He sent me a video from the criminally underrated YouTube Channel: Jake Evans Storyteller. Here is the video so you can show him some support. A short walk south of the village, following the footpath along the banks of the Glaslyn leads to Beddgelert's most famous historical feature; 'Gelert's Grave'. According to legend, the stone monument in the field marks the resting place of 'Gelert', the faithful hound of the medieval Welsh Prince Llewelyn the Great. I also tell the story of Greyfriars Bobby as an afterthought. I've been meaning to tell that legend for a long time.

Taken from William J. Long's book, "How Animals Talk." The evolutionists have claimed this book, but I think it testifies more to creationism than anything else. It poses a lot of questions about animals that scientists still have no answer for even to this day, which is amazing, as this book was written in 1919 -- over a hundred years ago. I stayed up all night reading his questions about animals, the answers to which in my head spelled out: G-O-D.

The Joyce-Armstrong Fragment was found in the field which is called Lower Haycock, lying one mile to the westward of the village of Withyham, upon the Kent and Sussex border. It was on the 15th September last that an agricultural labourer, James Flynn, perceived a briar pipe lying near the footpath which skirts the hedge in Lower Haycock. A few paces farther on he picked up a pair of broken binocular glasses. Finally, among some nettles in the ditch, he caught sight of a flat, canvas-backed book, which proved to be a note-book with detachable leaves, some of which had come loose and were fluttering along the base of the hedge. These he collected, but some, including the first, were never recovered, and leave a deplorable hiatus in this all-important statement. The note-book was taken by the labourer to his master, who in turn showed it to Dr. J. H. Atherton, of Hartfield. This gentleman at once recognized the need for an expert examination, and the manuscript was forwarded to the Aero Club in London, where it now lies. I will now give the narrative exactly as it stands, beginning at page three of the blood-soaked note-book...

"And by the way,” the stranger added, “don’t play it! I beg of you to never set needle to its black unbreakable surface, and never let its sounds escape from this beautiful, gaudy jukebox.” The stranger paused while Homer and Freddy nodded and gulped. Suddenly, without the least trace of humor, the stranger laughed, “Hah, hah, hah!” and changed to a lovely shade of blue-green. “But you will,” he whispered, taking on an amethyst tinge. “Now, good night, my proud, parturient pair of panted Pandoras!” Then the door closed ever so grass-green and softly...

"Then it all came out: Paxton looked over his shoulder and beckoned to us to come nearer to him, and began speaking in a low voice: we listened most intently, of course, and compared notes afterwards, and I wrote down our version, so I am confident I have what he told us almost word for word. He said: 'It began when I was first prospecting, and put me off again and again. There was always somebody--a man--standing by one of the firs. This was in daylight, you know...."

The most mysterious and interesting circumstances of all are those connected with the hidden treasures of Oak Isle, or rather Kidd Island, which is situated opposite Chester about forty miles west of Halifax, on the Atlantic coast. Everyone, no doubt, has heard of Captain Kidd, the noted and universally dreaded sea pirate: “Who lived in Third King William’s time, When many a pirate bold Committed on High Seas the crime Of shedding blood for gold.”

Episode #52 of this podcast, gives some background on the Col. Ripley’s Story.

Read “An American Knight: The Life of Colonel John W. Ripley, USMC” by Norman Fulkerson: https://www.amazon.com/American-Knight-Life-Colonel-Ripley/dp/1877905410

In northeastern Wisconsin, fires set by hunters, Indians, lumberjacks, railroad workers, and farmers burning stumps and rubble culminated in the nation's worst forest fire, in terms of lives lost. No writer has yet to equal in vividness, imagery, or sheer drama the contemporary account of the fire written by Father Pernin, the parish priest for Peshtigo and nearby Marinette, whose churches both burned to the ground. Published in Montreal in 1874, ostensibly to raise funds for a new church in Marinette, Father Pernin's account may have also been an attempt to exorcise the memories of that October night during which he suffered fearfully while behaving heroically.

This chapter from "All Creatures Great and Small," is the only one that’s really worth reading out of the whole book. I would discourage anyone from reading this book because there’s a good deal of vile language in it and the fact that it all devolves into a romance at the end. But I once had dreams of being a veterinarian myself and this story opened my eyes as to what a tough profession it truly is and I quickly reconsidered. It’s fascinating what hard knocks veterinarians go through. We begin this story on the first day of Mr. Herriot’s practice as assistant veterinarian to Mr. Farnon, in Darrowby, England…

This podcast is a compendium of beautiful Catholic Christmas stories, performed by the cast of the British TFP Family Series. Merry Christmas to all my listeners! “Behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, that shall be to all the people: For this day is born to you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord, in the city of David” (Luke, 2:10-11). “And his name shall be called Emmanuel” (Isaias, 7:14).

The St. Crispin’s Day speech from Henry V By William Shakespeare King Henry V: What’s he that wishes so? My cousin Westmoreland? No, my fair cousin: If we are mark’d to die, we are enow To do our country loss; and if to live, The fewer men, the greater share of honour. God’s will! I pray thee, wish not one man more. By Jove, I am not covetous for gold, Nor care I who doth feed upon my cost; It yearns me not if men my garments wear; Such outward things dwell not in my desires: But if it be a sin to covet honour, I am the most offending soul alive. No, faith, my coz, wish not a man from England: God’s peace! I would not lose so great an honour As one man more, methinks, would share from me For the best hope I have. O, do not wish one more! Rather proclaim it, Westmoreland, through my host, That he which hath no stomach to this fight, Let him depart; his passport shall be made And crowns for convoy put into his purse: We would not die in that man’s company That fears his fellowship to die with us. This day is called the feast of Crispian: He that outlives this day, and comes safe home, Will stand a tip-toe when the day is named, And rouse him at the name of Crispian. He that shall live this day, and see old age, Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours, And say ‘To-morrow is Saint Crispian:’ Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars. And say ‘These wounds I had on Crispin’s day.’ Old men forget: yet all shall be forgot, But he’ll remember with advantages What feats he did that day: then shall our names. Familiar in his mouth as household words Harry the king, Bedford and Exeter, Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester, Be in their flowing cups freshly remember’d. This story shall the good man teach his son; And Crispin Crispian shall ne’er go by, From this day to the ending of the world, But we in it shall be remember’d; We few, we happy few, we band of brothers; For he to-day that sheds his blood with me Shall be my brother; be he ne’er so vile, This day shall gentle his condition: And gentlemen in England now a-bed Shall think themselves accursed they were not here, And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks That fought with us upon Saint Crispin’s day. Henry V, Act 3 Scene 1. Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more; Or close the wall up with our English dead. In peace there’s nothing so becomes a man As modest stillness and humility: But when the blast of war blows in our ears, Then imitate the action of the tiger; Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood, Disguise fair nature with hard-favour’d rage; Then lend the eye a terrible aspect; Let pry through the portage of the head Like the brass cannon; let the brow o’erwhelm it As fearfully as doth a galled rock O’erhang and jutty his confounded base, Swill’d with the wild and wasteful ocean. Now set the teeth and stretch the nostril wide, Hold hard the breath and bend up every spirit To his full height. On, on, you noblest English. Whose blood is fet from fathers of war-proof! Fathers that, like so many Alexanders, Have in these parts from morn till even fought And sheathed their swords for lack of argument: Dishonour not your mothers; now attest That those whom you call’d fathers did beget you. Be copy now to men of grosser blood, And teach them how to war. And you, good yeoman, Whose limbs were made in England, show us here The mettle of your pasture; let us swear That you are worth your breeding; which I doubt not; For there is none of you so mean and base, That hath not noble lustre in your eyes. I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips, Straining upon the start. The game’s afoot: Follow your spirit, and upon this charge Cry ‘God for Harry, England, and Saint George!’

Mr. Montague Rhodes James was a medievalist scholar and provost of both King's College and Eton College. His stories have a strong foundation in historical research with an element of truth at their core, making their plots almost believable. The main characters of his tales are often archaeologists or antiquaries. This was fitting, for in 1902, M.R. James himself discovered a manuscript fragment which led to excavations in the ruins of the abbey at Bury St Edmunds, in which the graves of several twelfth-century abbots were rediscovered, having been lost since the Dissolution of the Monasteries. He also catalogued many of the manuscript libraries of the University of Cambridge and translated the Book of Baruch from its original Ethiopic in 1879. Being such an authority in the experiences of historical research puts him in a league all of his own when it comes to ghost stories and you feel as if you can just reach out and touch the characters of his gripping plots. I give you one of his best, "The Treasure of Abbot Thomas."

Here's a taste: "The constable in the Etruscan room glanced into the various sarcophagi and cast the rays of his bull's-eye lantern into the shadows of the great stone tombs. Satisfied that no one lurked there, he mounted the steps leading up to the Roman gallery, turning out the lights in the room below from the switch at the top. The light was still burning on the ground floor, and the sergeant had not yet arrived with the keys. It was whilst the man stood awaiting his coming that a singular thing occurred..."

This is a strange but spellbinding little story by the great Jules Verne that I think gives much food for thought. It takes quite literally the saying from scripture, "Love thy neighbor as thyself." Just for the record, Frritt-Flacc is onomatopoeia, it's supposed to be the sound that hurricane winds make.

The ground is sloppy in the actual trench, but frozen elsewhere. In my mouth is a pipe presented by the Princess Mary. In the pipe is tobacco. Of course, you say. But wait. In the pipe is German tobacco. Haha, you say, from a prisoner or found in a captured trench. Oh dear, no! From a German soldier. Yes a live German soldier from his own trench.

The whipping boy is a tale of adventure that’s right up there with Treasure Island. The author, Sid Fleischman, wrote many great books for boys but this is one of his best, so I’ve graced it with a two part podcast series. It’s a coming of age story, an adventure tale, a lesson in life, but historically accurate it is not as there is no proof that whipping boys ever existed. Apart from that, it’s well worth the listen and you will grow to love all of the characters in this adventure classic.

Most people find out a few key things about St. Patrick’s life and then spend the rest of his feast day having a lot of beer. I don’t have a problem with drinking beer on his feast day, but people need to find out more about him, especially since it’s such a big deal here in America. It’s difficult to find an accurate, concise and engaging account of his life, but this one by Robert T. Reily in his book, “Irish Saints,” has everything you need to know.

The children of Nome, Alaska were dying off from an epidemic of diphtheria: where the throat closes off and you die of suffocation. Everything was frozen up in that January of 1925 and the only way to get the diphtheria antitoxin to them was by sled dog. The 20-pound cylinder of serum was passed to the first of twenty mushers and more than 100 dogs who relayed the package 674 miles from Nenana to Nome. This podcast covers the last few musher’s heroic stories, as the last stretch was the most treacherous part. There were 70 mph winds that brought the temperature down -85° F. Challenge: try not to shiver when you listen to this.

It’s an article from the Return to Order website: http://www.returntoorder.org/2019/02/why-chivalry-is-the-catholic-solution-to-toxic-masculinity/ And here is the other podcast I help with: https://soundcloud.com/rto_podcast But before we get into that, there was a listener request for me to read a poem about St. John of Matha and I agreed because after I read it, it quickly became my favorite poem ever. It tells the story of how St. John of Matha miraculously used his mantle for a sail as he was trying to escape the muslims in Tunisia with 140 Christian souls. I think all my listeners will enjoy it. Here’s where I got the poem from: http://www.nobility.org/2013/02/07/john-of-matha/

In our time more than ever before we need to have the certainty that the Catholic Chruch will prevail through all of its troubles. If you want to make a difference in this fight and gain confidence, then St. John Bosco's dream about the Two Columns and a great sea battle is hand- tailored for you. Secondly, there is another dream that he had on how the Rosary can combat impurity and overcome all manner of vices. I got the idea to read these dreams from a listener suggestion, so please keep them coming. I hope you'll enjoy the show...

The horror genre of fiction is extremely popular in today’s world. Some of the horror stories that are being pushed in library reading programs today are many times gory or outright satanic. Question: is there a place for scary works of literature in a Catholic’s library? Well many ghost stories are probably already there, like a Christmas Carol. In Charles Dickens’ time, every big fictional author had to write at least one ghost story in order to be popular. Grimms Fairy tales are full of terrifying stories. Every time people get around a campfire, they talk about creepy things that may or may not have happened to them. Personally, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with a grizzly story, so long as the moral of it is clear, it uplifts you and doesn’t bring to mind devilish things or despair. Again the story has to be uplifting and ideally adventurous. This is how you can captivate a young reader’s imagination, especially young boy readers, who are totally misunderstood by modern people. Particularly liberal modern people. I’m going to read a story for you today that I think is a fantastic addition to any young Gentleman’s library, written by the great Sir Arthur Conan Doyle: the perfect author replacement for Stephen King. This tale is more grounded in reality and when you finish it, you’ll feel like it was time well spent. I give you, “The Terror of Blue John Gap.”

Episode 37: How to Take Suffering This is a Sermon by St. John Vianney on how to suffer. It’s amazing advice for people in our modern world, because I know that the filth around today is much greater than back when St. John Vianney lived. Today, the good are so much more persecuted and it seems like everything is against us. But this sermon teaches us how to suffer like champions and the best part of it all was that his sermons were always no longer than ten minutes. So take heart and listen to his calming words.

I’m only gonna be reading what is for me, the best part of the book, which is when Marley visits Scrooge. If you want to see what happens in the end, you should read the rest for yourself. This story is a classic that every young man should read anyway, especially around Christmas time. Charles Dickens was a writer genius. He makes a scene about a ghost, something that should be pretty scary, into a witty exchange. At the same time, his description of Scrooge’s vices are so vivid that it makes everyone examine their own consciences for the times in their life when they were a little humbug. Because we all can have a little bit Scrooge in us sometimes, right? Before we start the tale, Charles Dickens would like to let everyone know that Marley was dead to begin with. Dead as a coffin nail.

“Charity is no substitute for justice withheld.” - Quote from Saint Augustine I would categorize today’s tale as “stories that every young man should know about history. Lincoln's Grave Robbers by Steve Sheinkin is an excellent book about counterfeiters, the secret service, and a weird plot to steal a certain American President’s body. It’s a really immersive story that I know you'll enjoy.

I believe that every Catholic is called to be militant, whether it’s fighting vice or fighting an enemy foe for your country. I think you'll agree when you hear stories of the two patron saints of soldiers: St. Sebastian and St. Martin of Tours.

This is something I wrote for the boarding school that I graduated from: St. Louis de Montfort Academy. I’m only doing my own story because someone requested it, otherwise I really wouldn't do it. It's about the Hungarian Freedom Fighters who resisted the brutal Communist takeover and covers the attempts to rescue Cardinal Mindzenty from prison where he was being cruelly tortured to support the USSR. I hope you enjoy it.

A short time ago I was reading about some Eucharistic miracles that blew my mind and wanted to share them with you. We'll learn how to sit calmly in the presence of Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament and tell him about all of our problems. We'll also learn, that if people don't respect his presence, there may be something rather unpleasant coming for us- lightning, rabid dogs, or maybe just simply going blind. Here's the booklet I mention: https://www.americaneedsfatima.org/Books/meditation-booklet-be-still-and-know-that-i-am-god.html

This week’s story is about a daring mission done by the British Special Operations Executive to take down a Nazi criminal who was exterminating Czechs by the thousands. It’s from a book called The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare by Giles Milton which is the best spy book I've read, but Beware! This book does have parts that needs to be edited out for young Catholic readers. Why am I reading this story on our podcast? Because I think that reading about war is manly and seeing what hard knocks our forebears went through to keep the west free is truly beneficial for our soft generation.

People fleeing from Venezuela? That sounds like when people fled Cuba back when Fidel took over and it turned socialist/communist. The story that I found last night left me speechless at seeing what people go through to escape Commie Cuba. I say, "go through," because people are still escaping from there. The story is from a book called “True Stories of Great Escapes,” compiled by Readers Digest. All of them are just stunning, including this one.

When you're felling low from fighting in our impure world, this show will help you press the attack! This week, we're reading stories from "The Catechist" by Canon G.E. Howe. They show the dangers of not obeying the sixth and ninth commandments and also the joy of staying pure and clean of heart. I know all can benefit from these beautiful stories and with them, we can make a counter culture against the filth of the modern world.

The only man who could kill the man-eating Beast of Gevaudan was a pious devotee of Our Lady with a wicked looking blunderbuss. Listen to this show to learn how heroism against a demonic foe is only possible through devotion to Our Lady.

Part 1 of 2. What real man doesn't like a good sniper story? The best one I've ever heard has to be from the book, "Marine Sniper" by Charles Henderson. It shows the mud crawling, ghillied up, shoot 'em up exploits of the Marine Corps sniper legend, Carlos Hathcock. He laid the ground for all modern snipers today. If you're thinking of buying the book, be sure to have it edited for foul language because there's plenty. However, there will definitely be none of that on my podcast.

To skip to the first battle, just go to minute 20:35, it's all action from there. I found a version of the story of Beowulf by Stafford Riggs that is super easy to understand as opposed to other tongue twister translations. This story shows many aspects of bravery and chivalry which would've been lost had they not been preserved through the ages by the medieval monks. By the time you finish hearing this dragon slaying story, you'll be inclined to agree that it was well worth saving.

This week's podcast is totally different. It's the performance of a play that I wrote based on the book, "The Autobiography of a Hunted Priest." It's about Fr. John Gerard, S.J. who did apostolate in England during their persecution of Catholics in 1588. Some parts, like his interrogation scene, are word for word what Fr. Gerrard wrote in his autobiography. Other parts are a little dramatized but still true. However, the pirate narrator never existed. But of course, I needed him to relate the story. If you don't believe what's in this play, you can purchase the book and read it for yourself here: https://www.amazon.com/Autobiography-Hunted-Priest-John-Gerard/dp/1586174509/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1526253612&sr=8-1&keywords=autobiography+of+a+hunted+priest Special thanks to my friends who helped me perform this one: ya'll are awesome actors.
