Radio Maria England

Sarah de Nordwall, an insightful poet, captivates with her reflections on listener-submitted poems while sharing her own vibrant creations. The conversation dives into how writing poetry helps us find order amid chaos, inspired by the mysticism of Meister Eckhart. Key themes include a transformative journey of self-acceptance, the complexity of balancing motherhood with creative endeavors, and the deep spiritual connections found in beauty and art. De Nordwall invites everyone to embrace their poetic voice and continue exploring their inner narratives.

Fr Toby looks at the parable of the talents and the Christian world view.

Edward Hadas reflects on how we ought to understand violence in the light of Catholic anthropology.

Fr Toby on Aquinas and the 5 Ways.

A new voice on Questions of Faith (but not new on Radio Maria) Fr Brendan teams up with Fr Toby to answer the questions: Did Emperor Constantine invent and impose the Sunday Sabbath abolishing an early Church practice? Why does God allow the Devil to exacerbate our freedom to choose evil and why does He allow all the violence that is currently happening in the Holy Land? By no means trivial questions, and our priests handle them with corresponding care.

Fr Toby on the Kingdom of God and Plato’s ideal state.
