noreply@blogger.com (Breadbox Media) — Mon, 1 Nov 2021 07:21:00 -0700

Halloween is All Hallows Eve—the evening we begin to celebrate the saints. But the customs and traditions it holds seem far removed from the glorious saints. Or are they?

noreply@blogger.com (Breadbox Media) — Tue, 28 Sep 2021 07:42:00 -0700

Sharing some wisdom from C.S. Lewis, Richaél Lucero explains why God doesn’t want rule followers. Instead he wants people who have a special quality of character.

Clumsy Theosis - How Temperance Actually Gives You More

noreply@blogger.com (Breadbox Media) — Mon, 20 Sep 2021 08:59:00 -0700

What is today's formula for happiness? In a word, MORE. Happiness is to have it all, experience it all—and to the nth degree. This sounds nothing like the virtue of temperance. The irony is that when we practice temperance we end up with more. And this more actually satisfies. It's the Christian paradox! Listen as Richaél Lucero reveals how this is possible.

Clumsy Theosis - Justice and the Gift of Piety

noreply@blogger.com (Breadbox Media) — Mon, 16 Aug 2021 06:18:00 -0700

Justice. Is it about punishment or vengeance? Many would say "yes." Jesus and the Church say "no." Mystic and saint, Bridget of Sweden said, "the source of justice is not vengeance but charity." As in love! And she was right! Richaél Lucero looks at the work of St. Thomas Aquinas to clarify the misunderstood virtue of justice. To show that it is rooted in love and for human flourishing. Plus the gift of the Holy Spirit that helps us to live the virtue of justice, piety.

Clumsy Theosis - The Virtues Gone Mad

noreply@blogger.com (Breadbox Media) — Fri, 30 Jul 2021 13:50:00 -0700

Vices, bad. Virtues, good. Right? Not according to G.K. Chesterton. He'd say, when compared, "the virtues wander more wildly, and the virtues do more terrible damage." How is that possible?! That's what happens when they become isolated from the other virtues—especially prudence. Listen as Richaél Lucero breaks down how this can happen. And why it has a negative effect on a positive thing like a virtue. Plus why the Church Fathers would agree with Chesterton.

noreply@blogger.com (Breadbox Media) — Fri, 16 Jul 2021 19:18:00 -0700

Grace builds on nature. If we want to grow in supernatural virtue, we must heed this saying. We start by first setting a foundation of natural virtue.

Clumsy Theosis - Breastplate of Righteousness: Spiritual Warfare and the Armor of God

noreply@blogger.com (Breadbox Media) — Sat, 1 May 2021 15:12:00 -0700

A fuzziness we can't afford in our spiritual warfare. Listen to Richaél Lucero for a clear explanation of the breastplate of righteousness. And its practical application in your daily battle.
