F.L.O.W.cast

Grounded in the Promise

Claudia Aravello is a mother, wife, employee, communion minister, volunteer—a Mexican immigrant living in Rantoul, Illinois—whose approach to life and faith is both profound and simple. Her conversation with our Sister Denise Glazik is sure to inspire and perhaps lead to a moment of self-reflection on what it means to you to live as a person of faith.

Science and Christ

How is Jesus like us, and different from us? What does it mean to claim our own divinity without claiming we are equal to Jesus Christ? What do science and faith have to say to each other? Explore these questions and more with today’s guests: Springfield Dominican Sister Sharon Zayac and Father Richard Chiola, a retired priest of the Diocese of Springfield in Illinois.

Restorative Justice: Healing Relationships in Community

Too often wrong-doing is dealt with punitively and unproductively. Relationships torn asunder by violence, trauma, or harmful speech are left in tatters, offenders and victims alike left to live with the consequences of broken relationships. Restorative justice brings healing by repairing harm, rebuilding relationships, and strengthening communities.

The Relationship Episode

Springfield Dominican Associates Steph Steele and Lucinda and Keith Buescher share a delightful, insightful conversation on all the things about dating and relationships. Steph, a teacher at St. Agnes in Springfield, Ill., and the Bueschers, medical professionals, bring all their joy and personality to this fun conversation. You will laugh with them, enjoy their translucent humanity, and be wiser at the end of this episode—no matter where you are in the relationship lifecycle.

Work, Life, Faith

F.L.O.W.cast producer Sister Beth Murphy talks with Liz Mitchell—Catholic convert, spouse, mom of two, and deputy spokesperson for the Illinois Senate Democrats—about the intersection of life, work and faith in this Labor Day weekend episode.

Helping Earth Heal: Permaculture at Jubilee Farm

Listen and learn alongside the Dominican Sisters at Jubilee Farm as they help Earth heal by learning the skills for permaculture—working with land to allow it to heal itself. They will discuss weeds, waste, and how to get started on your own permaculture garden. It isn’t as simple as letting the grass grow and not pulling ‘weeds.’ By making some changes to a land management routine they hope to help the land at Jubilee Farm heal, become more sustainable, and contribute to the wellbeing of Earth.

 

Visit Jubilee Farm to learn more about their vision for permaculture or learn how you can get involved.

Letting Liturgy Matter

Sister Joanne Delehanty and Adrienne Alexander step past the Catholic “liturgy wars” to share moving stories about their experiences as praying members of the Body of Christ.

Listeners will find much food for thought as Sister Joanne and Adrienne witness to the role of faith in their own lives and discuss the very real challenge it is for contemporary Catholics to uncover the truth about which Pope Francis writes in his apostolic letter On the Liturgical Formation of the People of God: It is God’s desire to share the Passover with us that puts us in communion with one another and with God, when we allow ourselves to be shaped by the liturgy and a praying community.
