Earlier this year, one of my children told me I should get into podcasting. I’ve had audio teachings on the shalomplace.com site for years, but that’s not the same, I know. Podcasts, I was reminded, were accessible via apps on phones, tablets and computers, and my audio work was not to be found, there. In
response, I paid for an account to host podcasts and began transferring audio teachings to it, even adding some more since.
The podcast site is https://philstromain.podbean.com/
Currently, there are 28 teachings on a variety of topics, with a new one added every two weeks. I’m committed to keeping up this publication schedule as long as there’s an interest. You can access them via the link below or through podcasting apps like Apple Podcast, Spotify, Google Play Music and, of course, Podbean. Just do a search for Awaken, the name of my channel, or for my name and Awaken in combination.
Podcasting is a new outreach of our Internet ministry and one we offer for no fee. Donations helps to financially underwrite hosting expenses and the time it takes to create and publish these works. Thanks for your consideration.

LK 19:41-44
As Jesus drew near Jerusalem,
he saw the city and wept over it, saying,
"If this day you only knew what makes for peace–
but now it is hidden from your eyes.
For the days are coming upon you
when your enemies will raise a palisade against you;
they will encircle you and hem you in on all sides.
They will smash you to the ground and your children within you,
and they will not leave one stone upon another within you
because you did not recognize the time of your visitation."
Reflection on the Scriptures |
In today’s gospel, Jesus is looking toward his homeland, and weeping. He calls out all kinds of devastation. There was an opportunity for peace. If only the people followed Jesus when called.
As I reflect on today’s gospel, I can’t help to consider the violence and hate that seems to blanket our world. I think of so many who make the painful decision to flee their home in search of peace and safety, many times leaving loved ones behind.
I remember those who have lost faith, and feel alone as a result. I think of those perpetrating crimes against humanity because they see no other way.

Revelations of Divine Love
- by Julian of Norwich
Fifteenth Revelation, Chapter 65
“The Charity of God maketh in us such a unity that, when it is truly seen, no person can part himself from other”
And this sheweth He to make us to love Him and nought dread but Him. For it is His will that we perceive that all the might of our Enemy is taken into our Friend’s hand; and therefore the soul that knoweth assuredly this, he shall not dread but Him that he loveth. All other dread he setteth among passions and bodily sickness and imaginations. And therefore though we be in so much
pain, woe, and distress that it seemeth to us we can think [of] right nought but [of] that [which] we are in, or [of] that [which] we feel, [yet] as soon as we may, pass we lightly over, and set we it at nought. And why? For that God willeth we know [Him]; and if we know Him and love Him and reverently dread Him, we shall have peace, and be in great rest, and it shall be great pleasance to us, all that He doeth. And this shewed our Lord in these words: What should it then aggrieve thee to suffer
awhile, sith it is my Will and my worship? Now have I told you of Fifteen Revelations, as God vouchsafed to minister them to [my] mind, renewed by lightings and touchings, I hope of the same Spirit that shewed them all. Of which Fifteen Shewings the First began early in the morn, about the hour of four; and they lasted, shewing by process full fair and steadily, each following other, till it was nine of the day, overpassed.
