HI! WELCOME TO THE PROMETHEAN PERSPECTIVE! A podcast grounded in John 15:13 which emphasizes that "There is no greater gift than to lay down one's life for another". Christ exemplified this through His own sacrificial love and invites each and everyone of us to this same vocation of love through the life of the Catholic Church. I’m your host Emily Rybak and I’m humbly thrilled to share simple, holy, truthful perspectives that abound with life.The Promethean Perspective: No Greater Love Podca ...

appy New Year! No, it is not January 1! The liturgical year does not match New Year’s Day, the beginning of the calendar year, nor July 1, the beginning of the fiscal year for many organizations. The Church year is distinctive. It always begins on the first Sunday of Advent, and with it comes a shift in the cycle of readings. The feast of Christ th…

As a free and rational creature, man can choose good or evil. We have thus also considered what is good or evil, so that we can help to determine what is proper for man to choose. We have discussed many of the particulars of the law, of virtue and vice, of moral decisions, of grace and of moral issues that we face in modern day.Perhaps an obvious p…

The key is trust. Do you trust God enough to let Him take the lead? And if, at first, His gentle invitation does not make sense, are you willing to embrace His will and say “Yes” every day? For the person who surrenders all, especially when life is good, the future will become even more blessed in a far better way than could ever be imagined. Perha…

We have God’s divine law, which has been revealed to us to guide us in truth. We have the natural law, written upon our hearts and assisting us in recognizing true good. We recognize civil or human laws, specifically those that cooperate with or at least do not break God’s divine and natural law. The Church is God’s chosen means of leading his peop…

Being able to relate the story of salvation in a clear, concise, and compelling manner is essential for not only teaching the faith, but for understanding how to read Scripture. It is only by having this “big picture” that we understand the Bible in its unity and are thus given access to the divine dimension of Scripture. Only then can we interpret…

The more I abide in His friendship, the more I am able to see friendship as an overflow of His love. The more I see myself as the beloved, the more I am able to embrace people as Christ does, without destructive expectations. How fitting that in the grand story of salvation, then, wounds are not erased, they become tools that God uses to tell His s…

In the Gospel of Saint Matthew, we read about the Magi who followed the star of Bethlehem in search of their King. They traveled a great distance to greet and serve Him, do we do the same? Do we meet our King or even know who He is? Do we hold a deep longing for the Messiah? Is our search well spent? Send feedback at mothermary15@icloud.com…

Who are you listening to and reading, and do you feel uplifted after doing so, or do you feel deflated? What are you watching on your screens? Is it something that rejuvenates you or does it feel like you’re getting pulled into a black hole? Where are you when you’re listening to a podcast or scrolling through the news? Is it an appropriate time se…

Discernment is key for making wise and godly decisions, but it takes time to mature and cultivate. Like Paul mentioned in Hebrews 5:14 it is like solid food for a child verses spiritual milk. Rely and press into the Spirit of Truth, the Holy Word of God, and seek counsel from those who know the Lord well when striving to discern holy truth. The Lor…

Today’s episode is a really good one, we talk all about the basics of morality and what forms our morally good acts and morally bad acts. This topic is really important to me because of the subjective world in which we live where we are faced with a relativistic standard when it comes to morality. I’m excited to share my perspective with y’all to h…

What I'm sharing with you in this episode is an exercise that I've been practicing lately and it's been helping me find clarity in what things I'm doing in my life that are not aligning with who I want to be, with who I'm working to become. I really believe in the power of always learning and growing because I want to be a better version of myself.…

How was your first two weeks of lent? We’re here at the halfway mark and maybe it’s a good time to re-evaluate those sacrifices we made at the beginning of lent. I encourage you to continue to pursue Christ throughout this liturgical season. If you feel despair and desolation in your sacrifice, look to your side and see Christ carrying His cross ri…

Do you go to Church on Sunday and leave what you do and say there at Church? So many of us are “routine religious” meaning we participate only because it’s another thing in our life. We have to learn to bring home what we learn at Church and not just that, we have to LIVE it EVERY DAY. Because if your not giving yourself to God every waking moment …
