When to Let Go of a Friendship or Relationship? w/ St. John of the Ladder
Today I talk about worldly relationships with friends, family, and romantic partners. Are your friends getting you into heaven? Is your romantic partner helping you to be the best saint you can be? When should we let people go from our lives? Today we read from St John of the Ladder and his spiritual advice on Godly vs worldly relationships, and why detachment is always the best policy ;)Hope you enjoy!Instagram: @MysticalTeatimeYoutube: @Jacob RagozzineVenmo: @Jacob-Ragozzine

Good Ol' Doomsday Prophecies w/ Bl Anne Catherine Emmerich
Hey, y'all I recorded this episode a while back, but decided not to publish it because I thought it might be too controversial or doomsdayish. However, with the way things are going I feel like its fitting to finally publish it. Bl. Anne Catherine Emmerich lays out the fall of the west and the near destruction of the church, however in her messages there also rings hope! Christ's church will never fail! If you're listening on itunes be sure to leave a review! I hope you enjoy this spicy episode!! Instagram: @mysticalteatimeVenmo: Jacob-Ragozzine

Hey y'all! Theosis Thomist is back and we're starting off strong! This week I tell the story of the Monk Abraham and his orphaned niece Maria. In the story we find sin, shame, and redemption. I also discuss healing and shame, and I talk about how finding peace and stillness in our sinfulness might not come to us in the way we expect.

Mystical Roots of the Rosary
Catholics are all about praying the rosary! But do you know the story of the rosary? Many of us probably know that Our Lady gave the rosary to St Dominic. But do you know why she gave him the rosary? Or do you know what happened after St Dominic's death and how Our Lady revived the practice of the rosary one hundred years after it had been forgotten? And what does Our Lady of Fatima say about praying the rosary? In this episode I hope to show you that the rosary is more than just a couple of beads but rather a gift from heaven!

The world needs a spiritual life now more than ever :)Venmo: @Jacob-RagozzinePatreon: https://www.patreon.com/theosisthomistInstagram: @TheosisThomist

The Anxiety of Control
In this episode we talk about how trying to control our lives without the Lord ultimately leads to anxiety and pain. However when we abandon our will to God's we find freedom and liberation. This is best exemplified by Mary when she says "yes" to bear the God of the universe within her womb. As always if you like the episode please share and have an awesome day!Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theosisthomistInstagram: @TheosisThomistTwitter: @Jragzz626

The Sultan and the Prostitute w/ St Francis
This week we talk about Jesus' commandment to love one another as he loves us and the many challenges that this demands. How can we love those we view as enemies, or those sinners we just can't stand. Our main mystic this week is my favorite saint, St Francis of Assisi and diving into how he loved both the Sultan and the Prostitute.
