We will play a repeat episode, since I was off on a prayer retreat last weekend. In this season of advent, let us reflect on the crucial role of the Virgin Mary.
***
For this episode we venerate Mary, the greatest of all the saints. We consider some of the titles given to her from across the Christian tradition: Theotokos, Mother of God, Joy of All who Sorrow, Cause of our Salvation, Mother of the Church. We study how those titles reflect Mary's role in our Christian faith, and how she directs us toward Christ.
The readings covered in this episode include the account of the Annunciation in the gospel of Luke (Luke 1: 26-38), the Magnificat (Luke 1:46-55), the gospel of John's account of the wedding at Cana (John 2:1-11), the Angelus prayer. We also refer extensively to Sister Grace Remington's painting of Mary and Eve.

No new episode this week, instead we have a rerun of an old episode from 2020, about Saint Nicholas of Myra:
***
Saint Nicholas of Myra (270 AD-343 AD) , also known as Saint Nicholas the wonderworker, is one of the most beloved Saints in the Christian tradition. Even among non-Christians, he is well-known as the inspiration for Santa Claus. Saint Nicholas is famed for his generosity. When his parents died young he gave away his sizable inheritance to the poor. He also gave gold in secret to three young girls whose family was suffering from abject poverty, saving them from a life of prostitution. He also performed many spectacular miracles, and was an ardent opponent of the Arian heresy. In this episode, we contemplate the story of Saint Nicholas, and read extensively from the Life of Saint Nicholas by Archimandrite Michael.

Saint Rose Philippine Duchesne was a French Roman Catholic nun in the Society of the Sacred Heart, and a missionary to the Native Americans living in the region we know today as Kansas and Missouri. The Potawatomi people whom she ministered to gave her the name Quahkahkanumad - the woman who prays always.
