  • How to do a spiritual reset for 2026
    Jan 1 2026
    On our debut episode of 2026 and the second season of “The Spiritual Life,” host James Martin, S.J., welcomes Trappist monk, poet and photographer, Br. Paul Quenon, onto the podcast. Br. Paul entered the Trappists in 1958 at the Abbey of Gethsemani in Kentucky, where Thomas Merton was his novice master. Together they discuss: - What it was like to have Thomas Merton as a novice master - How a monastery can be like a montessori school, where playing with different elements and forms of prayer, leads to one’s own spiritual practice - Responses to listener questions: how to do a spiritual reset at the beginning of a new year, how to build a personal relationship with God, and how to try to make sense out of tragedy.

  • Introducing: 'Hark! The Stories Behind Our Favorite Christmas Carols'
    Dec 10 2025
    Fr. Jim introduces this special episode on "The Coventry Carol" which is part of a new season of the podcast, "Hark! The Stories Behind Our Favorite Christmas Carols," from America Magazine, the Jesuit Review (AmericaMagazine.org). Listen to more episodes including, "O Holy Night," "The Little Drummer Boy," and "Silent Night" on: Apple Podcasts, Spotify and at America Magazine: https://www.americamagazine.org/hark Episode description: Most Christmas carols celebrate the birth of Jesus. But not “The Coventry Carol." This song centers on a biblical horror: the “massacre of the innocents,” King Herod’s order to kill all male babies two years old and under in Bethlehem. It’s a lullaby sung by mothers to children who may not survive the night. In this podcast episode, host Maggi Van Dorn travels to Coventry, England, to trace how this centuries-old lament survived the Reformation, a devastating library fire and the 1940 bombing of Coventry Cathedral during the Second World War— and how it has served the city’s witness to grief and reconciliation. Happy Advent and merry Christmas from Fr. Jim! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
