Joanna, who leads Catholic History Walks in London, leads us though some of the history that connects us with ‘the Catholic faith we share with our ancestors.’ In understanding something of our history and being able to talk to others about it, Joanna says that, ‘we may be opening up their hearts and minds to something much larger and more beautiful…that connection all the way through history going right the way back must mean something. And it does.’

She shares how she finally returned to her faith after observing the quiet witness of others in different parts of the world, caring for street children and refugees. She says, ‘They were people with a faith. They were motivated by something more than just altruism.’ Jo gives us a glimpse into the behind-the-scenes work of curating a free daily Catholic news website - and the prayers and practices that continue to nourish her faith: knowing prayers in Polish and English, Mass that welcomes dogs as well as children, making space for quiet reflection and joining in the morning and night prayer of the church.

Drawing on St John Paul II, Sophie points out that communicating about faith online is important but in the digital space ‘what we’re missing is that real, embodied encounter with someone.’

Her journey to the Catholic Church took a long time, beginning in the Anglican church, feeling called to ministry, then thirty years of being away from church altogether. But on becoming a Catholic in her fifties, Claire says, ‘I’ve never looked back.’ She is a trans woman and she shares how her identity and her faith sit comfortably together and the words of Psalm 139 feel affirming to her. We discuss Claire’s research on the experiences of trans young people in schools — published in her book Wrong Bodies, Wrong Schools. She is aware of how toxic this issue has become but ‘These stories’, she says, ‘need to be told.’

Today St Mary's Catholic church has two Sunday Masses, many parish activities, and a 99-year lease on the church building. Five members of the parish community join the conversation to explain how their faith is nurtured by the way our shared faith is expressed in this particular parish.

Graham shares what it means to be made in the image and likeness of God when mental health is fragile, the overlap he sees between mystical experience and psychiatric episodes, the writings of St John of the Cross, and the ‘excuses and distractions’ that sometimes keep him from prayer.

In her most terrible darkness, her guardian angel intervened. Now with the help of a 'holy' 12-step fellowship, Ali explains that she is able to see that she was always loved by God and He is working in her life. She describes taking responsibility for her choices, making amends where she can and living truthfully in the light: 'There's no hiding because God is truth.'

He shares a feeling of 'being called to serve God in this way' and the gospel text, 'You did not choose me, I chose you,' speaks to him particularly. Based on Paul's early experience of going into a church for the first time 'out of sheer curiosity,' he challenges us to 'unlock our churches' so that others might do the same today.

He is a published poet and explains how his work is inspired by his faith and by the beautiful North Devon countryside. We talk about the ‘awkward’ experience of belonging to a thinly-spread Catholic community in a rural area where the opportunity for daily Mass is absent. But, in tune with the season of Eastertide, Christopher says that in his poetry he intends to ‘always give a sense that we're not beyond hope. I do not despair.’  To illustrate this, he goes on to read one of his beautiful sonnets, ‘Earth in Easter.’

Carrying the cross together to Walsingham]]>Mollie and Christina share their experiences of Pilgrim Cross. Mollie joined this pilgrimage for the first time last year, arriving in Walsingham on Good Friday, joining Christian pilgrims from many parts of the country, to celebrate Easter. Christina explains the origins of this pilgrimage which began in France in 1946, when 30,000 people gathered, carrying wooden crosses, as an act of prayer, reparation and reconciliation after the Second World War. Both guests explain how important the Pilgrim Cross pilgrimage is as an expression of their faith. Mollie says, ‘I can't fathom an Easter not spent on pilgrimage... with other people, serving the Lord, loving life to the full.’

Helena shares how she grew up, with Polish heritage in America, married a British man and moved to England with a young family. The world of theatre and particularly drama ministry is huge in Helena’s life. She describes ‘a pivotal moment’ when the Holy Spirit was at work, leading her to bring together young people with and without disabilities in a robot-themed dance performance. Currently working with Radio Maria England, Helena explains other ways in which God has undone her plans, sometimes painfully. She feels He is telling her, ‘You cannot decide everything. You've got to let some of it be mine.’

He explains how he has adapted to working with the rhythm of monastic life, describing the monks as having a ‘more eternal concept of time’ than he was previously used to, especially at work. It’s fascinating to hear how commercial concerns and a life of prayer are balanced by the monastic community and Peter himself - and the opportunity for ‘soft evangelisation’ that brewing beer offers them.

She is making the effort herself, alongside prayer, to do just that. Hear how Hannah works at balancing personal faith and professional ethics too. She shares practical tools that help her to keep faith alive for herself and others between Sundays: youth testimonies, Justice & Peace, Christian radio, prayer partners, and the rosary.

Prayer, worship, the Word of God, and belonging to a faith-filled ministry community, all play a big part in their lives. Encountering the Lord has filled them with joy and purpose, and a sense of responsibility. They ask if they are doing enough to keep faith alive in Britain - and worry about whether their son will have the opportunity to attend daily Mass when he grows up.

She shares her feeling of ‘a deep and grounded connection to God’ – and tells us about the dark time when that connection was lost for a while. Caro draws on the prophet Micah to illuminate her journey so far; acting justly, loving tenderly, and now, embarking on a new direction in her life, walking humbly with God.

John explains how he first heard about the charity in a talk at Sunday Mass more than 20 years ago and how inspired he was. He describes the charity's work keeping our relationship with Christ 'at the centre,' while actively supporting persecuted Christians. He describes being terrified on an early trip to post-civil-war Sudan. Echoing last week's conversation, John explains what life is like in the Holy Land today and how Aid to the Church in Need is supporting Christians and others there.

His experience is brought to life through his vivid descriptions, his reflections on the incarnation, and his reports of good conversations with Palestinian Christians, Jewish and Muslim people. Deciding not to 'look away,' Mike is finding ways for Christian people to support our brothers and sisters in the place where Jesus lived, died and rose from the dead.

But then, he says, ‘the cracks were showing,’ and ‘things became real.’ Here in Part 1 of this conversation, Mike speaks with raw honesty about his experience of overcoming mental ill health and finding maturity in his faith. Next week, in Part 2, we talk about the present. Mike will share how feeling accountable to his daughters and inspired by his faith, he is responding to the terrible events in the Holy Land.

Episode 87 John Patrick talks about the importance of his roots in a parish in Mossend, Scotland - and in his Irish and Lithuanian heritage. He describes how he and his cousin, Brian, 'fell into' setting up a media company to 'present the Church and the faith...the fullness of truth, faith and reason, but also the joy of being a Catholic.' Ten years on, John Patrick explains what he thinks makes an authentic social media presence for sharing the faith, starting with, 'You have to just not be afraid.'

For Fr John, the best way to pray is like St Therese of Lisieux, to 'talk to God in my own words.' Hear why the Road to Emmaus gospel story is important for him too.

They share how they each hold together the questions of science and faith, especially when it comes to the story of the Epiphany. Find out what these three women think about when they look up at a dark, starry sky - with wonder, and faith but also greater scientific knowledge than the wise men in St Matthew's Gospel had. ‘It's all a question of having this open mind to the reality of what God feels like in your life and to recognise that Jesus Christ was the expression of God on earth.’

World Peace Day episode.]]>Send us a text

Episode 83 In this episode, Jenny describes being involved in the work of building peace, after years of conflict in a Pacific island country. She reflects on the culture she found there, in which listening, not speaking, was fundamental. She contrasts this experience with the learning we need to do in the West, to try to become a synodal Church. While ‘Prayer and openly talking about God all the time was part of the culture,’ and ‘People in the Pacific make no contribution to the climate crisis,’ Jenny shares honestly about the time and hard work it takes to heal and rebuild structures and relationships after conflict.

Anne and Mark share their thoughts and experiences of angels. Mark reminds us that angels are both with us and in the presence of God, ‘They’re here and they’re there at the same time.’ Seeing an image carved on a tomb years ago taught Anne to think of angels, not ‘like a fairy with pretty wings,’ but as ‘fierce’ and ‘protective.’ 

Thanks to Elizabeth, of Episode 21, for sharing her beautiful Christmas carol-singing.

As a young woman she continued learning to view the world ‘through the lens of the Gospel.’ Working for small organisations, listening to the voices of vulnerable women – and through her own difficult experiences - Carol explains how she became alert to how women had been treated in the Church: ‘It's both an emotional thing of exclusion, but it's also a justice issue.’ Find out how Carol answers the question in the episode title.

Episode 77 As a Catholic, when is it okay to compromise? Matt shares how his faith and his politics inform each other and how he understands compromise - and red lines. He believes wholeheartedly in the real presence of Jesus in the Eucharist – and also belongs to an ecumenical queer church community. He sees community as important to Catholic people, and a part of upholding dignity at work and reducing reliance on state-provided welfare support. But, Matt says, ‘We’ve lost that as Catholics.’

Years ago, Martyn says he ‘knew I wanted to become a Catholic, but I hadn't really discussed the topic with my family,’ and Fiona, despite being a ‘quite ludicrously devout child…very much fell out of love with the Church.’ They explain what they have learned since then about sharing the Gospel with others, in loving and truthful ways.

Since serving a prison sentence, it is the charity, beauty and kindness of prisoners for each other that reminds him to 'choose to be a better man every day.' Prison radicalised him, David says. He now campaigns for change in a criminal justice system where he experienced 'moral rot ... cruelty and harm.'

While truth and joy stand out for Clare in scripture, she says that 'if you really want to know what it is to get to know God. It's about those three things, faith, hope, and love.'

Episode 62: Jim, who is an American professor and a Catholic, tells the extraordinary story of uncovering his grandfather's connection to the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This research took Jim to Nagasaki, 'the centre of Catholicism in Japan for centuries.' An awkward question from a Japanese Catholic there - a descendant of the 'hidden Christians' and whose father was a victim of the bomb - led to a beautiful project to restore 'the sound of the two bells ringing together' from the cathedral in Nagasaki, for the first time in 80 years. Jim says, 'It's really inspired a lot of people in terms of hope and peace and reconciliation.'
