On Wednesday August 21, host Pam Marvin spoke with Angel Rodriguez, the new men’s ministry coordinator at St. Mary’s in College Station, about his new position and then they discussed the virtue of magnanimity. In the first part of the show, Pam talked about Pope St. Pius X, as August 21 is his feast day. Elected pope in 1903, Pius X committed himself to restoring all things in Christ (cf. Ephesians). One of the many ways he tried to do this was writing a simple, concise catechism for the average person which you can access yourself right HERE! Listen to this episode to learn more about a saintly pope. In the second part of the show, Pam talked with Angel about magnanimity: "loftiness of spirit, enabling one to bear trouble calmly, to disdain meanness and pettiness, and to display a noble generosity (Webster’s)." A more strictly Catholic definition is "greatness of soul, it looks especially to honor and seeks to perform noble deeds, its object is to perform actions that faith tells a person are great in the eyes of God." Angel spoke extensively about his time with FOCUS - the Fellowship of Catholic University Students—because its method of proclaiming the gospel to college students has had such an impact on his own life, as well as his journey back to St. Mary's. Angel and Pam also talked about how the virtue of magnanimity allows you to give of yourself because you have holy confidence in who you are and whose you are. Angel said that we become what we contemplate, so if we constantly contemplate the life of Jesus and our Blessed Mother, we will be more and more disposed to live out virtues such as magnanimity. Tune in to learn more about the virtue of magnanimity and hear how much God loves you!
