    The Joyful Friar

    The Joyful Friar Podcast explores the soulful, the meaningful, and the mystical in three different ways. First, Afterlife, Interrupted stories, in which someone who died suddenly and traumatically seeks my help and the help of my prayer partners.

    Second, Compassionate Responses, to readers’ and listeners’ questions and concerns that arise from those stories. And third, Spiritual Practices, influenced by the Catholic Christian tradition I’ve been shaped by that reveal how goodness is at work throughout the universe and within each of us. 

    Each episode reveals insights about living in the present with faith and joyful hope. Be inspired to more fully receive, magnify, and share love.

    Finding Joy with Guest: Byron Katie Oct 31, 2023
    Show notes

    Fr. Nathan discusses "The Work" of Byron Katie. A method of inquiry born directly out of Byron Katie’s experience. This practice allows you to access the wisdom that always exists within you.
    In 1986, at the bottom of a ten-year spiral into depression and self-loathing, Byron Katie woke up one morning in a state of joy. She realized that when she believed her stressful thoughts, she suffered, but that when she questioned them, she didn’t suffer, and that this is true for every human being. Her simple yet powerful process of self-inquiry, which she calls The Work, consists of four questions and the turnaround, which is a way of experiencing the opposite of what you believe. Byron Katie has been bringing The Work to millions of people for more than thirty years.
    Her books include the bestselling Loving What Is now in a revised edition, I Need Your Love—Is That True?, A Thousand Names for Joy, and A Mind at Home with Itself
    Please join her at athomewithbk.com for At Home with BK on Zoom every Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday from 9-10 a.m. Pacific Time.

    Spiritual Practice: It Happened at IANDS: Witnessing a Family’s Transformation From Terrifying Death to Afterlife Peace Sep 19, 2023
    Show notes

    Fr. Nathan discusses the spiritual practices that arise from the story of Abraham and his family in It Happened at IANDS: Witnessing a Family’s Transformation From Terrifying Death to Afterlife Peace. From his upcoming Afterlife, Interrupted Book Three: Please Let Me Explain.
    If you would like to help the Catholic Nuns in the Benebikira Congregation, a native Rwandan order. In Kinyarwandan, Benebikira means "Daughters of Mary". They serve the poorest of the poor in Rwanda, a country that suffered so much during the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi.

    Their convent is over 100 years old and is in serious disrepair. They are in desperate need of a new home and because they originated in Rwanda, they have no mother order in Europe they can turn to for assistance. Immaculee Ilibagiza survived the genocide and is helping these saintly souls through her work in the U.S. and abroad. 100% of all money raised will go to rebuild their convent. Video updates are posted on www.immaculee.com website. Donations can be made here: https://gofund.me/9e4d0100 "We the World" manage Immaculee's Charities and 100% will go to this cause. Tax ID #13-4129493
    Fr. Nathan and The Joyful Friar Podcast are not affiliated with Immaculee Ilibagiza or the Benebikira Congregation.
