Prayer & Emotional Maturity: Becoming Strong Inwardly Taking Action, Hörbuch, Digital, 138min
Denial, anger, depression, and anxiety block the path to freedom. Hostile environments at home and work feed our sense of being out of control and under attack. To deal with these realities, Sr. Riley introduces the listener to a series of meditation techniques that address our unhealthy defense mechanisms, face our fears, and begin to understand the peace and strengths that come from utilizing the insights of mystics as well as psychologists. She shows the dynamics that are at work behind procrastinating, diverting, generalizing, being late, losing focus, lying, forgetting, misplacing, etc. She explains that the more we understand our past the easier it is to change our behavior in the present. Using insights from Teresa’s Interior Castle, the Cloud of Unknowing, and De Caussade S.J., she shows how the interior life is steeped in vocal prayer, meditation, acquired recollection, the prayer of quiet, simple union, and finally the transformed Union. She offers a way of being honest with our own emotions and then being able to calmly face the intense feelings of others without running away or striking back. Language: English.

Paul Called from the Womb: A Force for Israel's God, Hörbuch, Digital, 242min
Utilizing the data available from the study of contemporary and ancient cultures, Dr. John Pilch presents a totally new and even revolutionary understanding of St. Paul. He shows how deeply Paul was attached to the religion of his ancestors and how he brought the story of the resurrected Jesus to the lost sheep of Israel and in the process changed the world forever. Dr. Pilch relies on the contents of the undisputed letters of Paul to gain insight into Paul’s life and mission and only secondarily refers to the Acts of the Apostles and the other letters attributed to Paul. His methodology calls into doubt whether Paul was especially interested in converting the Gentiles. Rather, Dr. Pilch argues that Paul was intensely interested in bringing the lost sheep of Israel to a realization that the Messianic Period had begun in the person of the resurrected Christ. This approach gives new meaning to the texts on almost every page of Paul’s writings. Your understanding of the tent making teacher from Tarsus will be challenged and enriched by this presentation.

The Historical Jesus: Fact and Fiction, Hörbuch, Digital, 395min
After a century of scholarship discounting even the possibility of knowing the Jesus of history, more and more contemporary scholarship is accepting the historicity of the Gospels and defending their reliability. LaGrange writing in the 1920s was the first to expose the prejudices and misconceptions of the German scholarship that rejected the miracles of Jesus and credibility of the believers' testimonies captured in the New Testament. Rev. Murphy-O'Connor does this in this riveting series of talks. He defends the historicity of the virgin birth, the miracle stories and major events of the Gospel narratives. He explains the differences in content and style of the writers and dispels much of the cynicism that has dominated academia for the past 100 years. His insights, however, are far from commonplace and his explanation of the events recounted is fresh and provocative. The most well-read listener will come away from this series of talks with a greater knowledge of Jesus and a deeper desire to build up the body of Christ on Earth, the community of loving believers.

The Wounds of Christ: And the Wounds of the Church, Hörbuch, Digital, 121min
Fr. Benedict shows how we can tend with love to the wounds of the Church and of the victims of the failure of the Church. He applies the wounds to the contemporary Church and to the suffering of the people of God and our culture as a whole. He points out that the abuse scandals in the Church have caused horrible harm to the victims, their families and the believing community. The people of God should at this critical juncture show gratitude and support to priests who are living up to their commitments and who are heartbroken by the sins of their fellow priests. Another wound to Christ's body is the betrayal of truth that permeates almost every aspect of our culture. Promiscuity, abortion, violence, and injustice are either trivialized or proclaimed as good. Perhaps, the most heartbreaking abandonment of truth has taken place within the Church where there is a colossal ignorance of the Gospel. The people of God need to be equipped with the truth so that they can combat error. Language: English. Narrator: Rev. Benedict J. Groeschel, Ed.D..

Silence, Voice, and Power in the Church, Hörbuch, Digital, 89min
Well known author, priest, seminary educator, Rev. Donald Cozzens explains why everyone should speak the truth in love for the betterment of all. Clearly and concisely he shows the importance of the laity, religious and clergy at all levels to express their deepest beliefs and to listen carefully to those who might have a different set of convictions. The Church from his perspective is that it is the last feudal structure left in the west. This helps explains why the Church mishandled so much of the contemporary sex scandals that have hurt the people of God so deeply. The post World War II laity in the U.S. is highly educated and has bright, questioning minds, which need to be both utilized and addressed. The Vatican II vision of the Church laid the foundations for going beyond a feudal understanding of the Church and has presented an understanding of Church as a community of the people of God. In explaining the dynamics of institutional psychology and dynamics, Cozzens helps the listener to more courageously carry out the mission of the Church without inadvertently destroying the institution.

Struggling with Shame, Anger, Guilt, Hörbuch, Digital, 125min
Jesuit Father William Sneck is an expert on the human struggle with shame, guilt, and anger. 1. Shame is feeling worthless, rejected and unloved. 2. Guilt believes that one has done something irreversibly bad. 3. Anger, as a result of these struggles, can generally be one of the most destructive emotions of the human spirit. Fr. Sneck has been conducting weekend workshops and retreats concerning the emotions of guilt, shame and anger. He explains them as "hard" emotions; difficult to understand, difficult to work with and painful to express. Through this theoretical presentation, Fr. Sneck enables listeners to explore the psycho-spiritual approach to shame, anger, and guilt. He is also interested in the integration of psychology and spirituality as represented by the work of Carl Jung, especially in dealing with all the human emotions of hurt, anger, guilt, shame, fear, depression, grief and forgiveness. The ultimate thrust of this audio series is to empower one, so as to heal those particular emotions and their effects, and to deal with them in a more creative fashion in ones future living. Fr. Sneck has a PhD in psychology and a teacher of psychology at Loyola University in MD. Language: English. Narrator: William J. Sneck.

Intergrating Mind and Heart: Holiness and Happiness for Everyday living, Hörbuch, Digital, 59min
In this brief presentation to graduate students at Franciscan University in Steubenville, OH, Suzanne shares some intimate thoughts about her father, Dr. Conrad Baars, a Catholic psychiatrist who studied human nature and who was a prisoner in the Nazi concentration camp of Buchenwald. She gleans much inspiration from her father and his vast work experience, and seeks to answer the question, "Have you ever found it difficult to discern between what your 'heart' wants and what your 'head' wants?" She strives to provide an answer to that question by citing the teachings of St. Thomas Aquinas, along with some reflections from the Catechism of the Catholic Church. In essence, Suzanne speaks about how we can integrate our emotions, reason, and will in order to make the best decisions for ourselves. Ultimately, she strives to help the students discover the decisions that God wants for them. The presentation concludes with a question and answer session that proves very insightful.
