This is Part 2 of the discussion between Sarah de Nordwall and her guest Robert Cassidy on the remarkable 1907 novel “Lord of the World” by Robert Hugh Benson which explores the principles at work in a society that produces the “strange fruit” of state sanctioned euthanasia.

None of the themes that Benson explored are lacking in relevance today - the role of the Pope in world affairs, the effects of communism, freemasonry and the insidious and then explicit worship of man as God. All are convincingly worked through in the novel, as is the extraordinary power of the Hidden Christ and the role of personal and liturgical prayer.

This is part of our mini-series on euthanasia in film, novel and drama: helping people imagine the out-workings of government-assisted dying in order to oppose the Leadbetter Bill.

The Letter to the Hebrews opens with the words "Long ago God spoke to our ancestors in many and various ways by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by a Son." What do these strange words mean and where will they lead us? Come on this journey of discovery with us to find out as Fr Richard Ounsworth unpacks, verse by verse the letter to the Hebrews.

Pilgrimage has been at the heart of Christian life for centuries, but what does it really mean? In this episode of Just Life on Radio Maria, we’ll uncover the history of pilgrimage in Britain, from the sacred journeys of early Christians to the great medieval pilgrim routes—and how the Reformation nearly erased them. As we go through the Jubilee Year of Hope, pilgrimage is making a  return, not just to shrines and cathedrals, but to places of history, culture, and faith. This episode sets the stage for a deeper journey into the pilgrim paths of the UK—both well-known and hidden—showing how pilgrimage is alive and waiting to be rediscovered.
