St. Anthony's Tongue

Support the podcast through Patreon here ! Bl. Anne Catherine Emmerich is a mystic, seer, stigmatists and perhaps one of the most influential figures when it comes to Marian visions.

Here are a few of the topics we'll be discussing: Do we "have" to believe in the supernatural elements of Catholicism? Why would God give the stigmata? Why is the stigmata through the palms rather than the wrist? How do we know if the mystics and saints weren't just suff...

St. Gemma Galgani is a newer saint, both in history and to me personally. Though, she's easily becoming one of my favorite stigmatists and potentially mystics overall. Join me as we discuss this great saint, her stigmata and her battles with the devil.

St. Lutgardis is a fascinating saint, mystic and stigmatist. She was the second reported stigmatist of the church, and was the first woman to receive the stigmata. Her story surrounding her apparitions of Jesus and His heart, were also precursors to the Sacred Heart devotion.

One of the most interesting practices to spring from The Cloud of Unknowing is Centering Prayer. This is a simple yet profound method of connecting with the divine, though it's also had some criticism. Here I hope to share a balanced take on a very fruitful practice.
