Newman on Tap PresentsPurity and LoveFr Sean Magnuson, former military chaplain, analyzes Newman's sermon "Purity and Love” by explaining that fervent love must come from the substance of purity, like a candle's flame coming from the substance of its wax. The life of St. John the Evangelist shows us that his burning love for Christ and His mother fed on his purity. Newman explains that when we are drawn to God's goodness and beauty with our own powers we freely and genuinely love Him and in turn, others. Grace received in purity works within our individual will by properly ordering our desire to...2025-06-2334 minNewman on Tap PresentsStewards and also Sons of God - Olivia SpantonOlivia Spanton, a Catholic Studies graduate of the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minnesota and now young financial planner, parish volunteer, and youth volleyball coach discusses Newman’s 1870 sermon, “Stewards and also Sons of God.” Olivia finds Newman relatable in that his style calls us out as he contrasts religion with the world. She presents the sermon theme as our need to realize that all of our God given gifts are to be returned to Him. Our duty lies in this – we are only borrowing God’s gifts therefore we have a duty to return them to Hi...2025-06-0936 min

Newman helps us realize that we discover ourselves when we find true peace in the self-denying love of Christ. When this selfless love takes the form of co-suffering there is a profound closeness to the Lord. Like Christ, by giving up ourselves, we find joy.

Here William finds Newman explaining that true manhood is found when we break from our desire for worldly things and grow to desire only unity with God. This desire, provided by the Holy Spirit, is not a zero-sum game. We don’t earn His infinite mercy. Entering into His mercy is the only important thing. If our desires end only in worldly things, we become stuck and slaves to things of this world rather than pursue the ultimate beatitude for whic...2025-05-1233 minNewman on Tap PresentsThe Sacred Heart of Jesus - Sr. Cinthya Carmona, PESSister Cinthya Carmona of the Pro Ecclesia Sancta order shares with us her thoughts on Newman’s mediations on the Sacred Heart of Jesus which can be found at newmanontap.com.

Dr. Bryson finds that Newman, by defining the characteristic marks of a Christian, distances his audience from the vague notion of truth found in relativism and the mushy ecumenicism where all religious paths are understood to lead to the same place. Newman asks us to consider that the true Christian is headed toward...2025-04-1443 minNewman on Tap PresentsDifficulty of Realizing Sacred Privleges - Jake RobbinsIn this episode seminarian, Jake Robbins looks at Newman’s 1839 Easter sermon, “Difficulty of Realizing Sacred Privileges” where we find insights into how we move from questioning to heartfelt acceptance of our faith. We come to realize the unknown by realizing truths in our heart. Our deepest desire is to know God at the heart level which God blesses. If we have a deep desire for God more will be given. God takes our small seeds of faith and multiplies it. By little and little the truth breaks upon us. Jake compares Newman’s “by little and little” to...2025-03-3134 minNewman on Tap PresentsSpiritual Presence of Christ in the Church - Fr. Nick VanceIn this episode Fr. Nick Vance, associate pastor at Our Lady of Grace Catholic Church in Edina, Minnesota looks at Newman’s 1838 sermon “Spiritual Presence of Christ in the Church.” Fr. Nick unpacks Newman’s words: “The Holy Spirit causes, faith welcomes the indwelling of Christ in the heart.” In other words, The Holy Spirit makes the presence of Christ within you a reality. Newman tells us that the indwelling of Christ is made possible by the paradox that it is better for us that Christ ascended to The Father. Newman tells us that we enjoy a more real po...2025-03-1735 minNewman on Tap PresentsThe Church a Home for the Lonely - Dr. Donald GrahamDr. Donald Graham, Associate Professor of Systematic and Pastoral Theology at St. Augustine’s Seminary in Toronto, Ontario looks closely at Newman’s 1837 sermon, “The Church a Home for the Lonely.” In the opening lines of the sermon Newman explains home as the attainment of that which satisfies the human heart. The only thing, in Newman’s mind, that ultimately satisfies the heart is love and being loved by that which we are made – heaven itself. Dr. Graham develops that heaven “claims” our highest love and “persevering exertions.” Heaven then actually is our home, and we are lonely without it. Th...2025-03-0340 minNewman on Tap PresentsLove in Relations and Friends - Katie BurkeOur guest today is Katie Burke, a fellow parishioner at Our Lady of Grace Catholic Church in Edina, MN.

Here Katie reflects on St. John Henry Newman’s 1831 sermon, “Love of Relations and Friends.” Newman helps us understand that St. John, as the intimate friend of Jesus, protector of His mother, and the visionary for everlasting life shows us that all relationships must start with our relationship with Christ. Newman writes, “we cannot love those about whom we know nothing; except indeed we view them in Chris...2025-02-1730 minNewman on Tap PresentsSecrecy and Suddenness of Divine Visitations - Fr.

Bryce EvansFr Bryce Evans, a diocesan priest aspiring to establish an Oratory of St. Philip Neri in the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis investigates Newman’s sermon, “Religious Joy.” In this 1825 Christmas day sermon, Newman turns our categories upside down. Fr. Evans calls this now familiar Newman technique, “The Divine Reversal.” When we tend to think that we are going to achieve our happiness as the result of our own efforts, Newman turns the tables by emphasizing that the mystery of Christmas is not about us reaching up to God rather it is Christ coming down to us. The hu...2024-12-2333 minNewman on Tap PresentsThe Second Spring - Angela CubaMs. Angela Cuba teaches “Humane Letters" at Bishop Reicher Catholic school in Waco, Texas. Angela graduated from the University of Dallas with a Bachelor of Arts and a Master of Arts in English. In reacting to Newman’s masterful sermon, “The Second Spring”, she will explain how Newman artfully shows how it was possible that something was so dead as Catholicism in 19th century England could experience a rebirth. During our discussion Angela refers to Gerard Manley Hopkin’s poem “The Wreck of the Deutschland,” Fr. Francis P. Donnelly’s text on Newman, and Cardinal Nicholas Wiseman’s pastoral letter...2024-12-0944 minNewman on Tap PresentsThe Ventures of Faith - Fr. Evan KoopFr. Evan Koop, instructor of dogmatic theology at St. Paul Seminary at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul Minnesota reflects on Newman’s classic sermon, “The Ventures of Faith”. Fr. Koop points out that Newman’s primary point in the sermon is “nothing ventured, nothing gained”. We must take a risk in our relationship with Christ. Faith is a venture. That venture changes the way we live. We invest in something now to gain something in the future. We take a risk for an uncertain benefit. Our faith in Christ is meant to be a venture – it...2024-11-2535 minNewman on Tap PresentsThe Apostolical Christian - Kory LaCroixKory LaCroix, Pastoral Associate for Marriage and Young Professionals at Our Lady of Grace parish in Edina, Minnesota sees in the sermon “The Apostolical Christian” the necessity of seeking the Truth, finding Christ and conforming our lives to His. In the sermon Newman gives us important questions to contemplate. Am I running the race? And which path am I running on? Is it one that I have created or one that Christ has given to me? Do we observe the rules of the contest? Do we appeal to Scripture to form our conscience to find the truth? Do o...2024-11-1130 minNewman on Tap PresentsThe Secret Power of Divine GraceNicholas Hughes, a 26-year-old MBA student at St. Thomas University in St. Paul, Minnesota reacts to Newman’s sermon “The Secret Power of Divine Grace” highlighting how we all have a deep desire for happiness. However, the objects that we worship must be worthy of the immortal, the Divine life. We easily dismiss those things beyond our physical comprehension accepting only what we can see and touch leading to the need for proof of everything in our lives. Yet at our disposal are various faculties enabling us to encounter “the glance of Christ”. Nicholas describes how “the secret power...2024-10-2831 minNewman on Tap PresentsRising with Christ - Dr. Melinda NielsenDr. Melinda Nielsen, Associate Professor of Classical Literature at Baylor University (https://honors.baylor.edu/person/melinda-nielsen-phd), found Newman through her love of great literature. The Apologia captivated her through its masterful prose, noticing Newman’s firm grasp of reality. Dr. Nielsen sees Newman as drawing from ancient literature, in particular the Church Fathers, to offer us rich insights into our understanding of Scripture.

As co-founder of the Center for Catholic Studies, Dr. Boyle describes that the vision of Catholic Studies at a university is to articulate the vision of the Church as an organic body that sees reality with a broad perspective in all its interconnectedness. Reality then is the combination of faith and reason as a means of lifting our eyes to infinity, to the mystery of God. Here Newman helps us see the...2024-09-3040 minNewman on Tap PresentsThe Calls of Grace - Martha OlsenMartha Olsen, brilliant fellow graduate of The University of St. Thomas Catholic Studies master’s program and now a busy mother of 4, shares her thoughts on the 1848 sermon “The Calls of Grace”. In this episode we learn from Newman that the sharpness of The Divine Word can readily penetrate a softened heart. Only a closed heart can stop The Word from entering it. Do I have a soft heart to receive Grace? What do we value that pierces our hearts? Martha helps us see that Newman shapes his language for his listeners to realize that his message is dire...2024-09-1635 minNewman on Tap Presents"Peace in Believing" - Fr. Kyle EtzelFr.

Michael Daly, priest of the Archdiocese of Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota gathers from several sources to unpack one of Newman’s favorite sermons, “The Thought of God, the Stay of the Soul”. Newman points out that we are made from God and for God. In our bones we know that we are made for more. Therefore, our dignity and destiny are found in our infinite God. Fr. Daly shares that the quest for God is an “ache” for God. Sanctity lies in how we respond to that...2024-08-1939 minNewman on Tap PresentsUnreal Words - Megan ScottMegan Scott, graduate student pursuing the Masters of Arts in the field of Catholic Studies at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, MN reacts to Newman's 1839 sermon, Unreal Words. As editorial assistant of Logos - A Journal of Catholic Thought and Culture Megan is well read in how "real" language moves us to action. "Unreal words", on the other hand, are separated from meaning by words being separated from reality. The consequences of this separation is a break from the fullness of reality which is The Word Himself.

Dr. Ekeh points out that Newman helps us see Abraham's refusal to be entangled by things of this world as a sign that we belong somewhere else. As Abraham acts with a clear apprehension of things unseen he gives witness to the presence of God in our everyday events. Lot, on the other hand, falls short by making his...2024-07-2946 minNewman on Tap PresentsOur Lady in the Gospel - Tyler McCollumTyler McCollum, Associate for Mission, at Our Lady of Grace Catholic Church in Edina, Minnesota reflects on Newman's early Catholic era sermon, "Our Lady in the Gospel".

Kevin Finnegan, pastor of Our Lady of Grace parish in Edina, Minnesota reacts to Newman’s classic sermon “The Ventures of Faith” by sharing that a properly lived faith includes ventures and it is by grace that each chapter of our venture unfolds. Abraham starts the venture which ultimately leads to Jerusalem. Like Abraham we need to give of ourselves in an uncalculating way. What do we venture for Christ?

Kate finds Newman's direction helpful: Christ first meet us in that hard place (Lent) before we can enjoy Him in festival (Easter). By walking with Christ during the vicissitudes of life we discover that God has something broader and better for us than any worldly misdirected gain that we perceive as helpful to our own end. Rather, with the glory of God as our aim we find abundant fruits in the festival.

Dr. Zuijdwegt points out that this sermon points to Newman no longer separating faith and works. Newman’s solution is to regard faith and works as equals – both faith and obedience are ways of seeking God. They are the same thing viewed differently – God is their stay. In this sermon we once again find Newman making the life of Christ very practical, personal and relational.

With the aid of Scripture Newman makes it clear that grace is so close to us that we are never alone. Since in the Incarnation, Christ came subtly to "conquest the heart", He in turn comes to us daily by regular, subtle inward influences in the form of the Sacraments - "He is ever coming. Again and again He comes to His Church" (lines 160-161).

The Epiphany is ongoing as God guides each of us with a guiding light that we need to be ever watchful for. Quoting Boethius, Dr Wyman explains that “time is an ever-present moment”. Comprehending a timeless God able to see everything in present moment is made possible only by our encountering the bridge between time and the timeless – The Incarnation.

John Utecht, associate pastor at Our Lady of Grace Catholic Church in Edina, Minnesota reflects on Newman's Catholic era (1849) sermon "Illuminating Grace". He highlights Newman in that it is only through the ongoing action of the Holy Spirit that we find the fullness of the truth. We need illuminating Grace to fully understand things. Reason has immense power to calculate but is limited to the human mind looking at the material world. The love of the dying Jesus on the Cross looks "unreasonable". Yet, Newman and Fr. John remind us that it is the greatest act of love e...2023-12-2535 minNewman on Tap PresentsWatching - Fr. Robert LisowskiFr. Robert Lisowski from the University of Notre Dame draws key insights from Newman's Advent sermon, "Watching". Newman tells us that we must be watchful everyday of our lives - watchful as to how God breathes His love into our lives and how we respond to that love. Watchfulness involves a consistent, expectant focus on God. Without this focus our eyes move inward and we tend to miss the small advents of our lives. This self-absorption elevates things of this world leaving us ultimately unsatisfied. Without watchfulness goodness is limited to a worldly definition. Newman calls us t...2023-12-1132 minNewman on Tap PresentsFaith and Love - Brother Bobby McFaddenBrother Bobby McFadden, a religious brother in training with the Congregation of the Holy Cross (with a PhD in Augustine studies), reflects on Newman’s sermon “Faith and Love”. To have an authentic faith is to love. If we have the love of God then the faith that we have is genuine, real. Love then is the sign of our faith. Newman helps us see faith as the beginning of religion – the belief in God’s omnipotence, His almighty power. We delight in God because He is good – His commandments are good. We can only obey the Lawgiver if...2023-11-2730 minNewman on Tap PresentsPromising without Doing - Dr. David DeavelDr. David Deavel, an Associate Professor of Theology at the University of St. Thomas - Houston (after coming from The Center of Catholic Studies at the University of St. Thomas in Minnesota) reflects on Newman's sermon "Promising without Doing".

Dr. Deavel helps us to appreciate Newman's understanding of the relationship of our "doing" (works) with our faith in Christ. Together, St. John Henry Newman and Dr. Deavel, place our identity i...2023-11-1343 minNewman on Tap PresentsThe Mysteriousness of our Present Being - Dr. John CrosbyDr. John Crosby, distinguished philosopher from Franciscan University and Newman scholar gives his insights into Newman's deeply personal sermon "Mysteriousness of our Present Being". In this sermon Newman shows (and Dr. Crosby explains) that the profoundest truths of our existence are commonly mysterious. For instance, the reality of the union of the body and soul is a mystery that we readily accept (at least we used to). Newman's offers universally accepted examples of mysteries as an argument to accept the mystery of God. Once we accept these mysteries of our present being we are faced with the choice of eit...2023-10-3028 min

This is evident in how children easily come to know of their own angels and saints through their tremendous ability to wonder. It is in this world where, despite our own worldly whims, we come to realize that angels and saints are always working for us.

As a young mother of three children, Laura finds Newman offering insights into how Mary's supreme sanctity could repair our distorted understanding of what it truly means to be fully woman and fully man. As usual Newman draws from comprehensive sources; Scripture, tradition, prayer and the teachings of The Catholic Church to point us to the great principle...2023-09-0435 minNewman on Tap PresentsIntellect, the Instrument of Religious Training - Dr. David DelioDr. David Delio offers insight into Newman's call for all of us to an integration of our heart, mind and will as a path to holiness by loving God and our neighbor. "Intellect, the Instrument of Religious Training" cleverly positions St. Monica as an image of faith and St. Augustine as an image of the intellect. Newman artfully looks at their lives to explain that without a harmony of our religious and intellectual lives our search for truth is limited and moves towards skepticism. Dr. Delio sheds light on Newman's understanding that knowledge begins in belief and not doubt. Si...2023-08-2144 minNewman on Tap PresentsOmnipotence in Bonds - Dr. Brandon WanlessDr Brandon Wanless, Assistant Professor of Dogmatic Theology at the St. Paul Seminary School of Divinity of the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minnesota and Co-Founder of The Sacra Doctrina Project (www.sacradoctrinaproject.org) looks closely at Newman's intriguing sermon "Omnipotence in Bonds". Dr. Wanless unpacks the radicality of The Incarnation where we come to know God by pondering upon an accepting faith. Newman considers the manner of God as abundantly gratuitous to the point that "The All powerful Creator" subjects Himself to the bondage of the creature. This radical love incentives our faith through our discovery o...2023-08-0744 minNewman on Tap PresentsA Particular Providence as Revealed in the Gospel - Dr. David FooteEpisode 19 Season 1 – “A Particular Providence as Revealed in the Gospel”Dr. David Foote, associate history professor in the department of Catholic Studies at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minnesota unpacks Newman's 1835 sermon "A Particular Providence as Revealed in the Gospel". Dr. Foote highlights Newman's insights into Psalm 139 where we find our God concerned with the particulars of each aspect of our individual lives. When we stop at general providences, we lose all sense of His presence which is a recipe for lukewarmness and self-deceit. It is our heart that moves us from the ge...2023-07-2453 min

James Reidy, Professor Emeritus of English 1981 – 2011 at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minnesota with 67 years in the priesthood, reacts to Newman's prophetic sermon "The Religion of the Day" - the religion of niceness. In this episode Fr. Reidy highlights why he has been attracted to Newman's spiritual insights for close to 75 years. After sharing memories of the late, great Newman biographer and scholar, Fr. Ian Ker, Fr. Reidy reviews Newman's "gentleman" as one limited (by natural religion alone) to the "bright side" of religion. Without a reality of God or judgment from God this man of...2023-07-1035 minNewman on Tap PresentsMen, not Angels, the Priests of the Gospel - Fr. Marc PaveglioFr. Marc Paveglio, pastor of St. Rose of Lima in Roseville, Minnesota walks us through Newman's sermon "Men not Angels, the Priests of the Gospel". Inspired by Newman's massive Christian intellectual life grounded in heartfelt priesthood Fr. Marc offers that God's desired method of saving us is through the Incarnation - in the flesh and blood of those near us. The fact that priests are shaped in a common humanity permits a shared encounter with the power of God's grace. A priest's human approach to their vocation enables an encounter with the hearts of others. Once we experience God's...2023-06-2640 minNewman on Tap PresentsThe Resurrection of the Body - Monsignor James SheaMonsignor James Shea, president of The University of Mary in Bismarck, North Dakota shares with us his vision of a Catholic university education modeled after Newman's Idea of a University. He then offers insight into Newman's sermon "The Resurrection of the Body" by pondering Christ's real presence in the Most Holy Eucharist.

Mary brings that background to her reaction to a Pentecost sermon of St John Henry Newman, "The Christian Ministry". Mary sees that Newman helps us understand that our own three-fold identity of priest, prophet and king is found in Christ and his ministers. Newman shows how God's creation and His Church are organically integrated explaining that when something foundational fails (for example, apostolic succession ) - the entire set of beliefs unravel. Newman helps us see t...2023-05-3029 minNewman on Tap PresentsMysteries in Religion - Grace SnyderThis episode brings you my 24-year-old daughter, Grace Snyder, reacting to St. John Henry Newman's 1843 sermon "Mysteries in Religions". Grace notes how Newman speaks to her generation who is seeking a joy that can only be found in knowing who one is - in God's eyes. By entering into a wonder that transcends the material world are we able to engage the totality of life. Wonder helps us look beyond life's difficulties and darkness by allowing us to rest in the "grittiness" of His glory. The Incarnation allows the physical to transcend into glory which unites heaven to earth. T...2023-05-1634 minNewman on Tap PresentsThe Shepherd of Our Souls - Diana NewmanDiana Newman, retired nurse and nursing professor was introduced to John Newman as a child and entered more deeply into his thought and works through our weekly Zoom format which she inspired by asking for interpersonal contact centered on the influence of our patron. Reflecting on the sermon, "The Shepherd of our Souls," Diana describes that by regularly turning to Christ we come to know His radical love. Habitual prayer, reception of the sacraments and Christ centered activities lead us to trust the Good Shepherd who is always seeking us. We hear His voice in our lives by realizing...2023-05-0225 minNewman on Tap PresentsFaith without Sight - Dr. Ryan (Bud) MarrDr. Ryan (Bud) Marr, Catholic convert and gifted Newman scholar with a PhD in historical theology from St. Louis University (with research interests in the theology of St. John Henry Newman, the reception of Vatican II and the liturgy) reacts to Newman’s sermon “Faith without Sight”. Here Dr. Marr helps us with Newman’s view of faith as a blessed temper of mind that hears Christ in Scripture by looking off the self to the eternal. Rather than demanding certainty, faith simply rests in the wondrous content of Revelation. Overcoming the temptation of subjecting all truths to strict...2023-04-1836 min

Christ's mental suffering is first revealed in the garden where He embraces suffering even before He experiences it. His passion is a willful act where He surrendered both His body and soul as an action of complete gift - He holds nothing back. His love for humanity is complete. He turns no o...2023-04-0434 minNewman on Tap PresentsTears of Christ at the Grave of Lazarus - Peter DawesPeter Dawes, demonstrates how Newman helps us to personally engage Christ, the Gospels and His Church. Peter reflects on how Newman appeals to the heart by painting word pictures with his marvelous prose. Newman offers fresh insights into a familiar Gospel story by describing Christ as a real, living being who sojourned on earth so that we, in turn, can personally engage the Divine with our own senses. By Christ entering the tomb of Lazarus, He not only brings life to one who will die again, He "replaces" Lazarus in the grave in order to fulfill His mission of ri...2023-03-2121 minNewman on Tap PresentsThe Church a Home for the Lonely - Justin ShayJustin Shay, Catholic school principal at Ava Maria Academy, is working to incorporate Newman's idea of forming a habit of mind pointing to the mind of God. Justin reflects on the Lenten themes found in Newman's sermon, "The Church the Home for the Lonely". Here Newman leads us to the understanding that Christ is our refuge from an unsettled, lonely word. It is in Him alone that we find our secret dwelling place. His hidden omnipresence, made possible by the Ascension, addresses our loneliness in a deeper, richer effervescent way because His Spirit is everywhere. Justin will...2023-03-0738 minNewman on Tap PresentsSurrender to God - Nick ZagottaOn this the birthday of St. John Henry Newman (2/21/1801) we discuss Newman's sermon "Surrender to God".

Juan Velez shares his respect for St. John Henry Newman as one "who brings Christ to others" as a teacher of the faith. In our discussion of Newman's sermon "The Strictness of the Law of Christ" Fr. Juan highlights Newman's view of morality as not necessarily a duty or an obligation rather morality is a privilege because we are meant to delight in God. Our perfect freedom is found in all that is good and true because they lead us to God who is Truth and Goodness itself. Learn more at Fr. Juan's website https://www.ca...2023-02-0746 minNewman on Tap PresentsThe Weapons of the Saints - Anna KnierRon Snyder is joined by his friend Anna Knier for a conversation inspired by St. John Henry Newman's sermon, "The Weapons of the Saints."

Spencer HoweFr. Spencer Howe, pastor of Holy Cross parish in N.E. Minneapolis, MN reflects on St. John Henry Newman's sermon "The Reverence Due to the Virgin Mary". Fr. Howe considers how Newman points to the contemplation of Scripture as revealing Mary's participation in every aspect of the life and mission of her son. As we contemplate Scripture we discover a trust, like Mary, that God "knows what He is about". This trust enables us to participate with grace for our own transformation towards holiness. Since the humanity of Christ is grounded in Mary, our own humanity is naturally grounded in...2022-12-2736 minNewman on Tap PresentsThe Incarnation - Mary Beth NewkumetMary Beth Newkumet (lifeaftersunday.com) reacts to Newman's 1834 Christmas sermon, "The Incarnation".

As we journey with Newman through the events and experiences in and through The Church towards the truth of the Incarnation we in like manner discover an understanding of the life of Christ flowing through similar events today.

As we strengthen our conscience we grow in our perception of the God of Revelation who, through the Incarnation, penetrates the deepest needs of our soul. Newman guides us to the realization of the givenness of our faith through the realization of the givenness of our liturgy in which we rightly receive in order to simply "bask in th...2022-11-2937 minNewman on Tap PresentsThe Gospel, a Trust Committed to Us - Fr.
