Even from behind bars, Ghislaine Maxwell continues to staunchly defend Prince Andrew, displaying a brazen disregard for the gravity of her own convictions and the overwhelming evidence against her. In a 2022 interview from prison, Maxwell audaciously claimed that the infamous photograph showing Prince Andrew with his arm around Virginia Giuffre, one of Epstein's most prominent accusers, is "fake," despite its widespread acceptance as genuine. This blatant attempt to discredit a victim not only undermines the experiences of countless survivors but also highlights Maxwell's unrepentant nature and her willingness to perpetuate falsehoods to protect her powerful associates.Furthermore, Maxwell's expressed sympathy for Prince Andrew, referring to him as a "dear friend" and stating she "feels so bad" for him, is a glaring example of her continued manipulation and deflection. By portraying Andrew as a victim suffering due to his association with her, Maxwell attempts to elicit public sympathy for a man who has been credibly accused of sexual misconduct, thereby minimizing the severity of the allegations against him. This tactic not only insults the intelligence of the public but also serves to retraumatize survivors by elevating the concerns of the accused over the suffering of the victims. Maxwell's unwavering defense of Prince Andrew from her prison cell is a stark reminder of her persistent allegiance to the powerful, even at the expense of justice and truth.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Scripture: Revelation 22:5-17 Title: Come, Lord Jesus! SHOW NOTES: For encouragement on your spiritual journey, we invite you to visit our ministry website, Discover God's Truth, where you can access additional resources to enrich your Walk with God.Worship, praise, and adoration. Over the past weeks, we've looked at many passages of Scripture. These lessons have caused me to search my heart and understand the importance of praise and adoration in my life. We have examined the hymns of praise in the book of Revelation. Oh, the glory surrounding God's heavenly throne and the beauty of the new city and its streets of gold. Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb through the middle of the street of the city; also, on either side of the river, the tree of life with its twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit each month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations … the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his servants will worship him.Revelation 22:1-3 When we teach in Israel, we often say: “Where there is water, there is life.” This river in the Holy City flows with healing water. It is fitting for Revelation to close around the throne of God and of the Lamb. God's servants will worship, and they will reign forever and ever.“Behold, I am coming soon. I am the Alpha and the Omega,the first and the last, the beginning and the end.”Revelation 22:12-13 The message is clear—Jesus will return. He is the eternal Son—Alpha and Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.The Spirit and the Bride say, “Come.” And let the one who hears say, “Come.” And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who desires take the water of life without price.Revelation 22:17 The invitation, “Come,” is open to everyone. It is a free gift (Romans 3:24). He is coming soon. Are you ready to meet Him? Will you face Him as Lord and Savior or as Judge?Song: Come, Jesus, Come – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lq4PXLxTuVU&list=RDLq4PXLxTuVU&start_radio=1

Scripture: Ephesians 6:24+ What you love most is the most important thing about you.“According to Augustine, ‘There is a scale of value stretching from earthly to heavenly realities, from the visible to the invisible; and the inequality between these goods makes possible the existence of them all.' God is one thing, angels are another, as are people, terriers, red oaks, squash, rocks, and dirt. Each item fits in God's overall scheme of creation. The nature of things in the hierarchy is unchangeable, and so is the kind of satisfaction it can provide when we are related to it through love. Because of these actual differences in things, the outcome of loving each actual thing will be different. There is a divinely designed fit between our needs, the character of the things that can satisfy them, and the way we should love them in order to be satisfied. Even though each thing God made is good, delightful, legitimate, and a source of satisfaction as an object of our love, we "must not expect more from it than its unique nature can provide." We must give love and praise to things apportioned to their worth. - David K Naugle, Re-Ordered Loves; Re-ordered Lives."Everybody worships. The only choice we get is what to worship. And an outstanding reason for choosing some sort of god or spiritual-type thing to worship...is that pretty much anything else you worship will eat you alive. If you worship money and things—if they are where you tap real meaning in life—then you will never have enough. Never feel you have enough. It's the truth. Worship your own body and beauty and sexual allure and you will always feel ugly, and when time and age start showing, you will die a million deaths before they finally plant you...Worship power—you will feel weak and afraid, and you will need ever more power over others to keep the fear at bay. Worship your intellect, being seen as smart—you will end up feeling stupid, a fraud, always on the verge of being found out." - David Foster Wallace + What does it mean to love Jesus?-       Adoration - thinking highly of Jesus.-       Affection - feeling deeply for Jesus.-       Allegiance - following faithfully after Jesus.Matthew 10:37–38“All of Christ is to be loved, and He is to be loved above all.” John Gill.Revelation 2:1-5Psalm 34:8 (NIV)+ ExaminePsalm 32:1–5 (NIV)+ Exercise+ Encounter

Fr. Tom Wilson joins Patrick to discuss Adoration (3:07) what is Eucharistic Adoration? What makes Eucharistic Adoration different from other forms of prayer? (15:52) Linda - I've been doing adoration over 15 years. I started when God hit me on the side of the head and had me change my attitude about it. We have 24/7 adoration. I always said I was too busy. Started as sub. God said how bout you start fitting your life into mine. It's the highlight of my life now. (20:30) Break 1 Rick - Question - Whether doing adoration on the internet is the same as doing it in church. (25:10) Kristle - When I was starting with adoration, I took early morning, late hours, etc. It's easier because when you'd be sleeping, instead, you're spending an hour with Jesus. (32:47) Mary - I used to go to adoration and I loved it. Now, when you go in, they give you a pamphlet and you have to follow their routine. I'm not comfortable with that. Is that legitimate? (36:54) Break 2 Deacon Gerald - I have a grandson who is a priest with Opus Angelorum. They promote prayer with your angel....one thing they do is adoration from 9p-12a. They're imitating the angels who consoled Christ when he was in the garden. They pray for priests who are spiritually asleep. They also do this at their retreats. (42:05) Jan - As a cradle Catholic, I have difficulties. I don't know whether to have a Bible or prayer book with me, or do I just sit in silence and wait to the Lord to speak to me? I haven't gotten that perfect solution. What do I do? How does Adoration strengthen families, marriages and vocations?

Season 20: Praise & Adoration / #12Scripture: Revelation 21:9-27 Title: The New CitySHOW NOTES: For encouragement on your spiritual journey, we invite you to visit our ministry website, Discover God's Truth, where you can access additional resources to enrich your Walk with God.Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.Revelation 21:1-2 God will make all things new—a new heaven and a new earth. The holy city, New Jerusalem, will be filled with God's glory and its brilliance. John describes the city's magnificent beauty.And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great, high mountain, and showed me the holy city Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God, having the glory of God, its radiance like a most rare jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal.Revelation 21:10-11To be gathered with all believers, people from every nation, tribe, and tongue—the Lamb's bride. What a glorious sight! God's Holy Presence in the New Jerusalem. John warns his readers that only those whose names are written in the Lamb's book of life will enter the New Jerusalem. We must choose to follow the Lamb—accept His gift of salvation—today.Head to Heart: What will that beautiful gathering of the Lamb's bride be like? The description John gives falls short of its glory and magnificence! Still, these verses should fill our hearts with great hope and anticipation.Song: The Holy City - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SokCt9iTGqU&list=RDSokCt9iTGqU&start_radio=1

Delivered by Cendani from the Parish of Our Lady of the Assumption Mamajang in the Archdiocese of Makassar, Indonesia. 1 Kings 10: 1-10; Rs psalm 37: 5-6.30-31.39-40; Mark 7: 14-23.NEW HEART Our meditation today isentitled: New Heart. A husband and his wife for the past year have been inconflict and there seems no sign of resolving it. Then they both agreed todivorce through several steps of internal dan legal process. One of those stepsis that both went to meet the Parish Priest to ask for his opinion. Each ofthem defended one's own perspective and eventually became reason for divorce.Each considered that this decision was already final. Each had very strongself-interest to make it superior over another. For the Priest this is anexample of two old style of hearts. An old heart shows how one is so stubbornand living only for him or herself. The Pastor now had avery important task to change that old heart into a new heart. After giving hisopinion and advice, the Pastor invited each of them to do Adoration in front ofthe Blessed Sacrament. In the church, one sat far away from another for apersonal adoration and prayer. About one hour passed, they again met the Pastorin his office. Each said about his and her awareness of mistakes and arroganceso strongly exposed in the surface. One intended to forgive another. Then theydecided to resolve their problem and not to divorce their marriage. The couple finallyarrive at the moment of having a new heart. Each one becomes a new person. Thisexperience shows that the creation of a new heart cannot be managed solely byone's own effort. If it is without the intervention of God and others one cannot do anything, he or she can not become a new person. Sacraments andspiritual guidance are the two of many instruments that help a person toexperience a new life. One of the messagesof the word of God that encourages us to create a new heart is as whatproclaimed in today's readings. The Word of God basically contains God's wisdomon how to live properly in the following of Christ. Our choices must find itsplace there, as did King Solomon who made the divine wisdom of God to attractthe attention of the Queen of Sheba and the whole world. If we choose andalways live out the Lord's wisdom, God provides and perfects all in us. A new heart is aclean and healthy heart. Dirt, impurity, slander, hatred, envy, and anger mustbe removed from there. Jesus asks us not to keep all of those vices in ourhearts, to store them so dearly as our wealth. All that defiles or damages usmust be removed through an examination of conscience and the reception of the Sacramentof Reconciliation. This can be done because of the help from others and thecare of the holy Church. This has absolutely no connection with and withoutabstaining food. Food or drink has never been linked to creating a new heart.The new heart is a spiritual aspect in us, while eating and drinking are thematter of the stomach and the body. They are so different from one to another!  Let's pray. O God Almighty, may YourSpirit guide us always in wisdom to be united in Jesus Christ through ourlives, our words and deeds. Our Father who art in heaven ... In the name of theFather.

Garth Heckman The David Alliance TDAgiantSlayer@Gmail.com    What if our prayers were simply admissions rather than confessions…  What do I mean? Most people pray begging God… telling him what he already knows, asking for things he already said he would provide. We are confessing our doubts to him rather than praying simple confessions… that is what the word of God already says about a situation… we confess what Gods word says.    1. The Core "Postures" of Prayer These are the different intents or "heart-settings" mentioned throughout scripture: Petition (Supplication): Simply asking for what you need. From the "daily bread" in the Lord's Prayer to Paul's instruction in Philippians 4:6 to "let your requests be made known to God." Intercession: Praying on behalf of others. Abraham interceding for Sodom or Paul praying for the early churches are classic examples. Thanksgiving: Shifting the focus from what you want to what you have. The Bible often pairs this with petition—gratitude is the "atmosphere" in which prayer should happen. Lament: A raw, honest cry to God in pain or frustration. About a third of the Psalms are laments, showing that God welcomes our "unfiltered" emotions. Adoration & Praise: Prayer focused entirely on God's character rather than your own needs.

SCRIPTURE: Revelation 21SHOW NOTES: For encouragement on your spiritual journey, we invite you to visit our ministry website, Discover God's Truth, where you can access additional resources to enrich your Walk with God. God originally created the earth and heaven to be our everlasting home. But sin and death entered the world, turning the earth into a place of rebellion."Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband." Revelation 21:1-2 The subtitle of the Holy City, “the new Jerusalem,” raises a question. The "old" Jerusalem was also called the "holy city" and described as a "bride" in Isaiah 52 and 61. Since the Jerusalem from above is the "new" Jerusalem, we can infer that it is somehow connected to the old one, meaning the new is the old renewed."And He who was seated on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” Also, He said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.” And He said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the thirsty, I will give from the spring of the water of life without payment." Revelation 21:5-6God offers each of us a choice. Will you choose to drink from salvation's spring, the water of life? Those who accept His invitation and remain loyal to Christ as overcomers will inherit all the new things in the city of God. They will be God's children, and He will be their Father.SONG: "All Things New" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JAM5biaV3Xs&list=RDJAM5biaV3Xs&start_radio=1

Growth 101: Getting the Basics Right focuses on the how-to of prayer, not just the idea of praying. Prayer can feel confusing if no one shows us how. While spontaneous prayer is good, Scripture calls us to consistent, focused prayer, modeled by Daniel. This sermon introduces the ACTS model as a simple, biblical framework for prayer: Adoration (praising God for who He is), Confession (agreeing with God about our sin to restore fellowship), Thanksgiving (cultivating gratitude and humility), and Supplication (bringing requests to God for His glory and our good). Using Scripture to guide each part helps believers pray confidently, consistently, and in the Spirit as they grow in their relationship with God.

Patrick answers questions spanning everything from praying the rosary while making breakfast or driving, to whether it’s genuinely helpful to journal during adoration. Real-world family challenges about faith, grief, and even noise at Mass spark his down-to-earth guidance, thoughtful defense of Catholic practices, and a dose of humor when birthday wishes and smart phone-free dinners come up. Conversations swerve from discussing legal and moral responsibility under pressure to parenting in a complex culture, sometimes bluntly, always with an eye on compassion and truth. Karis - I am conservative. Spitting is not a mortal sin. The officer had already got in his truck. (00:46) Marina - Is it ok to recite the Rosary while doing things like cooking or cleaning. Can I journal during Adoration? (02:05) Jonathan – Is sinning under duress still a sin? Would God hold it against them? (05:01) Alex - Is it ok to pray the Rosary during Mass? My daughter is dating a girl. What is the most loving response I can give her? (08:18) Moe - My daughter is dating a girl. What is the most loving response I can give her? (12:00) Steve - I do pray the Rosary at Mass. It helps me get over distractions at Mass. (20:54) Debra - If my sister witnessed a trauma in her life, would she be accountable for the sins that happened after or would she only be accountable for sins committed beforehand? What does the Church teach about judgement? (26:58) Rick - Police are not supposed to engage with agitators. This is false witness and a character assassination. (34:50) Veronica - Thank you for inspiring my son and I to grow in our Catholic faith. (43:45) Geralyn - My daughter took grand kids to a restaurant, and they don’t have cell phones. Somebody paid their bill because they were not on cell phones. (48:19) Brendan - Is happiness an act of the will? (49:44)

SCRIPTURE: Revelation 19:1-16SHOW NOTES: For encouragement on your spiritual journey, we invite you to visit our ministry website, Discover God's Truth, where you can access additional resources to enrich your Walk with God. Over the past few weeks, we have studied several Hymns of Praise in the book of Revelation, written by John, the beloved disciple. The opening verses in chapter 19 begin with the great multitude in heaven, the twenty-four elders, and the four living creatures offering praise and worship to our God. After this, I heard what seemed to be the loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, crying out, “Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God, for his judgments are true and just.” … And from the throne came a voice saying, “Praise our God, all you his servants, you who fear him, small and great.” - Revelation 19:1-2, 5 The English word “hallelujah” comes from a Greek term, which itself transliterates the Hebrew halle-lu-yah, meaning “Praise unto Yahweh.” This transliteration only appears here in the New Testament in verses 1, 3, 4, and 6. There is also rejoicing because the “wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready.” This contrasts with the prostitute and her immoral lovers mentioned in previous chapters, featuring the Lamb and his pure bride in “fine linen, bright and clean.” The great vision, beginning in verse 11, shifts between Old Testament references and earlier mentions of Christ in Revelation. Christ will keep His word, because He is the Word of God. He is faithful & true! Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse! The one sitting on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war. His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems, and he has a name written that no one knows but himself. He is clothed in a robe dipped in blood, and the name by which he is called is The Word of God.

Indulgences can sound like scorekeeping. They're not. Joe Rockey and Father Boniface Hicks unpack indulgences in plain relational terms: the Church's “treasury of merit” is like trusted relational credit you can lean on—the saints' friendship with God helping you deepen your own. We connect First Fridays/Saturdays, rosaries, Scripture, adoration, and pilgrim practices to one aim: better spiritual health, i.e., a stronger, freer relationship of trusting love with God.Key IdeasIndulgence = relational help, not a magic pass: you “tap” the Church's treasury of merit (the saints' lived friendship with God) through concrete practices.Always personal: you still act (prayer, Scripture, adoration, works of mercy); grace perfects, doesn't replace, effort.Apply to self or the dead: love shares its credit—our bonds in Christ extend beyond death.Keep the frame human: think “street cred” or a trainer's plan—habits that restore and strengthen relationship, not accounting tricks.Sin harms relationships; practices heal: less “temporal punishment” math, more repair, trust, and re-ordering of love.Helpful ParallelsTrainer plan → spiritual plan:30 min Scripture reading (indulgenced)Rosary in common30 min Eucharistic adorationStations of the CrossPilgrimage/holy door (in jubilee years)Works of mercy + usual conditions (state of grace, confession, Eucharist, prayer for the Pope's intentions)Scripture touchpoints“Whatever you bind on earth…” (Mt 16:19; 18:18)“The communion of saints” (cf. Heb 12:1; Eph 2:19)Reconciliation and restoration (Jn 20:21–23; 2 Cor 5:18–20)One-week Spiritual Health Tune-up (simple, doable)Pick one indulgenced practice above and do it twice.Go to confession (once).Add one concrete act of mercy (call, visit, forgive, give).Close each day with a 2-minute examen (gratitude → review → ask help for tomorrow).CTAIf this clarified indulgences, share the episode and leave a written review—helps others find us.TagsFather and Joe, Joe Rockey, Father Boniface Hicks, indulgence, treasury of merit, communion of saints, First Friday, First Saturday, adoration, rosary, Scripture, pilgrimage, spiritual health, confession, temporal punishment, works of mercy, Catholic podcast, practical spirituality, relationship with God

So far in our Epiphany series we have explored the two core stories of this season, the Adoration of the Magi and the Baptism of Jesus. This week we begin to explore other stories that reveal something about who Jesus is and what his movement is about. Many, if not most, of us are familiar with the story of Jesus's miraculous "Feeding of the 5,000," but what if there's more going on with this story than what we see on the surface? What if the real miracle is not just about a supernatural multiplication of loaves and fishes, but about the transformation of the human heart? Josh will invite us to consider all that and more in this week's sermon. ⛪️ To learn more about who we are and what we do, visit https://gracepointe.net/about-us

The Adoration of God - Psalm 95 - Ps Gary Fitzgerald 25th Jan 2026 by The King's Way Christian Fellowship - Glen Waverley

Pascal Denault - Psaume 52 RÉSUMÉ: Les psaumes 52 à 59 nous ramènent à l'époque de la fuite de David devant Saül. Le premier de ces huit psaumes se rapporte au commencement de cette fuite où David, sans le vouloir, entraina le malheur sur la maison d’Achimélec. Sa fuite est emblématique du sacerdoce royal persécuté par de farouches adversaires dans ce monde déchu. En utilisant Doëg l'Edomite comme représentant, David expose la fourberie et la ruine de ces adversaires du royaume de Dieu et de l'attente confiante des justes. PLAN: 1. Le tyran déraciné (v.1-7) - Le méchant (v.2) - Sa méchanceté (v.3-6) - Son jugement (v.7) 2. L'olivier verdoyant (v.8-11) - Les justes (v.8) - Leur justice (v.9-10) - Leur délivrance (v.11) QUESTIONS: 1. Que sait-on sur l'arrière-plan de ce psaume? 2. Comment la méchanceté de Doëg est-elle décrite dans ce psaume? 3. Qu'en est-il du jugement prononcé contre Doëg? 4. Que font les justes? 5. Qu'est-ce qui distingue fondamentalement le juste du méchant? 6. En quoi consiste la délivrance des justes? 7. Quelles applications pouvons-nous faire de ce psaume? Lectures complémentaires: 1 Samuel 21.1-10, 22.6-23 (intro) ; 1 Pierre 2.4–10 (cène)

SCRIPTURE: Revelation 7SHOW NOTES: For encouragement on your spiritual journey, we invite you to visit our ministry website, Discover God's Truth, where you can access additional resources to enrich your Walk with God. In Revelation 5, a mighty angel loudly proclaims, “Who is worthy to break the seals and open this scroll?” John says he wept because no one was found worthy to open the scroll. Then, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, the Lamb, takes the scroll from the right hand of Him who sits on the throne.At the end of chapter 6, the sixth seal is opened, and people on earth try to hide from God (see Revelation 6:15-17). Chapter 7 of Revelation begins with God sending four angels to hold back the winds of judgment until His own are sealed and protected. After this, I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth, that no wind might blow on earth or sea or against any tree.Revelation 7:1 As the chapter ends, John sees a vast multitude from all nations and cultures standing before God's throne, clothed in white robes. They are identified by the angel as those “who have come out of the great tribulation” (verse 14). The angels are gathered around the throne, while the elders and the four living creatures fall face down before God and worship Him. What a beautiful worship scene! Therefore, they are before the throne of God and serve Him day and night in His temple; and He who sits on the throne will shelter them with His presence. They shall hunger no more, neither thirst anymore; the sun shall not strike them, nor any scorching heat. For the Lamb in the midst of the throne will be their shepherd, and He will guide them to springs of living water, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”Revelation 7:15-17"The Lamb will shepherd His people and lead them to living water. Every sorrowful memory of pain and suffering will be taken away by the Heavenly Father.Amen! Praise and glory and wisdom and thanks and honor and power and strength be to our God forever and ever. Amen!"Revelation 7:12SONG: "Before the Throne of God Above" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MUNywhsZPU

Pascal Denault - Psaume 51.1-21 RÉSUMÉ: La vraie connaissance de soi commence avec la découverte de l'horreur de son propre péché. Lorsque Dieu produit cette conviction dans un pécheur, il se repent amèrement et implore la miséricorde divine.

Scripture: Revelation 5:1-14 SHOW NOTES: For encouragement on your spiritual journey, we invite you to visit our ministry website, Discover God's Truth, where you can access additional resources to enrich your Walk with God.In Revelation 4 and 5, John is taken in the Spirit to heaven. He is shown the heavenly throne, surrounded by the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders. The majesty and splendor are breathtaking. Then, he saw a scroll in the right hand of the One seated on the throne, sealed with seven seals.And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming with a loud voice,“Who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals?”And no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or to look into it, and I began to weep loudly because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or to look into it.Revelation 5:2-4John's sorrow eases when one of the elders announces that someone has “triumphed.” He looks to see the mighty Lion (the conquering warrior-Messiah from the Root of David) but instead sees the striking figure of a “Lamb” as if it had been slaughtered, standing in the center of the throne room.And one of the elders said to me, “Weep no more; behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has conquered, so that He can open the scroll and its seven seals.”Revelation 5:5The Lamb is victorious and has been given all power and authority from the One seated on the throne. When He takes the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fall down and sing a new song as they worship the Lamb.And they sang a new song, saying, “Worthy are You to take the scroll and to open its seals, for You were slain, and by Your blood You ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation, and You have made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they shall reign on the earth.”Revelation 5:9-10Song: Worthy is the Lamb – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=alJOStsdw3s&list=RDalJOStsdw3s&start_radio=1

In various and often surprising ways, God reveals Himself through signs and miracles in order to draw humanity close to Him, including pagans such as the Magi. And it is the Magi who provide a model of adoration, knowing as they do that the most fundamental duty of man is to worship the true God. Through adoration and worship, we profess our complete dependence on God while acknowledging there is nothing higher than Him.

Patrick fields concerns about reverence, inclusion, and the struggles of Catholics navigating community shifts, challenging rigid mindsets while affirming the heart of Church tradition. Listeners share their anxieties, stories, and hopes; Patrick responds with candor, practical insight, and encouragement to remain faithful amid uncertainty. Audio: TSA has apparently known for years that Somalis were flying with suitcases of cash from Minnesota, overseas. Hundreds of millions of dollars a year. Thanks to John Soloman host of “Just the News, No Noise” - https://x.com/i/trending/2008966344377557114 (02:01) Mike (email) – Is it okay to dress casually when I go to Mass or Adoration? (03:28) Email - Am I being too rigid in my negative assessment of a situation where a monastery is offering the Eucharist to those who they know are not Catholic? (06:24) Derek - I am learning more about the Catholic Church through OCIA. I rely heavily on data and have been reading your book “Surprised by Truth”. Do you have any advice? (13:43) Deacons were not permitted to touch the consecrated host or even to act as an extraordinary minister of Holy Communion, absent a grave cause – (23:54) Dennis - We are losing attendance to Church. It scares me. I think we need to be devoted to the Eucharist. (29:52) Ed - I agree with you Patrick about the consecration and that a lay person shouldn't distribute Communion. At my Church, you have one priest consecrating the Eucharist and other priests distributing. Does your rule apply to them? (39:17) Stephanie - I attend the Traditional Latin Mass and mostly everyone is appropriately dressed for Mass. Not everyone has the wherewithal to buy a suit and I needed to talk to my husband about this. For those who can't afford nice clothes, they always seem to be presentable and in clean clothes.

John is transported in the Spirit to heaven and receives a fresh view of God's majesty and power.After this, I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven! And the first voice, which I had heard speaking to me like a trumpet, said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.” At once I was in the Spirit, and behold, a throne stood in heaven, with one seated on the throne.Revelation 4:1-2 The throng surrounding the throne of God consists of twenty-four elders, seated on twenty-four thrones, and four living beings. The four living beings never cease to say, “Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!” And whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to him who is seated on the throne, who lives forever and ever, the twenty-four elders fall down before him who is seated on the throne and worship him who lives forever and ever.Revelation 4:9-10 He is holy.

Our reading presents the New Testament book of Matthew 2:1-12 followed by the classic carol “We Three Kings.” Three Kings' Day is a Christian feast that annually falls on January 6th (also known as Epiphany). It is a special date for many Christians as it's when the faithful celebrate how a bright star in the sky led the Magi - also known as the Three Wise Men - to visit the baby Jesus after he had been born.

Patrick opens the year with spirited banter and candid exchanges, guiding listeners through faith questions on baptism, confession, and Protestant-Catholic differences, while drawing from scripture and tradition. He chats with callers wrestling with addiction and moral challenges, supporting them with clear Catholic teaching and reflecting on personal stories, prayer, and the rosary’s transformative effects. The episode weaves together heartfelt testimonies, practical advice, and even a splash of music trivia. Patrick continues his conversation with Mark from the end of the last hour who is asking what are the differences between Catholics and Christians? (00:32) Niki - You gave me advice last year and I am happy to share that my family is coming into the Church! (15:30) Jason – I have been able to stop my porn addiction. It helps to identify the triggers that cause the temptation and try to fill the time with something else. (22:56) Sharon - I am in a 12-step program, and I work on replacing something bad with something good. Whenever I feel tempted, I go to Adoration. (32:28) JD - About watching porn, one of the things that helped me immensely was praying the Rosary. Praying to your guardian angel to eliminate those images from your memory also helps. (37:00) Yvonne - My family prays a novena. Should pray for the same thing as I did for last year, or pray for something else this year since God already knows about my other intentions? (39:34) Rose - Is it wrong for parents to circumcise their infants. Also, I know IVF is immoral, but is it moral to adopt embryos? (43:45)

Scripture: Luke 2:21-40The Greatest Story SHOW NOTES: For encouragement on your spiritual journey, we invite you to visit our ministry website, Discover God's Truth, where you can access additional resources to enrich your Walk with God. The central message of Christmas, found in Luke 2:11, is "Christ the Savior is born." Jesus' birth in Bethlehem, the promised Messiah, brings hope and peace to the world. This phrase symbolizes Jesus' fulfillment of prophecy, His divine identity as God's Son, and His mission as Redeemer. This is God's story—His master plan. Scene 1: Zechariah and Elizabeth (Luke 1:13-25)Scene 2: The angel, Gabriel, visits Mary in Nazareth (Luke 1:26-38) Scene 3: Joseph's Dream (Matthew 1:18-25) Scene 4: Mary Visits Elizabeth (Luke 1:39-45)Scene 5: Jesus' birth in Bethlehem is witnessed by angels and shepherds (Luke 2:8-20)In Scene 6, Joseph and Mary take Jesus to the temple for purification as required by the law of Moses. Two trustworthy witnesses, Simeon and Anna, who had faithfully walked with God for many years and waited for this child—God's gift—were present. Anna shares the good news of Jesus, and Simeon proclaims, “My eyes have seen Your salvation.” “Lord, now You are letting Your servant depart in peace, according to Your word; for my eyes have seen Your salvation that You have prepared in the presence of all peoples, a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and for glory to Your people Israel.”Luke 2:29-32 Song: He Came Down - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IEPUvf9IhQk&list=RDIEPUvf9IhQk&start_radio=1

Patrick discusses a surprising IRS update that allows churches to endorse political candidates without losing their tax-exempt status, unpacking its far-reaching implications for faith communities and political conversations alike. He fields listener questions on Communion posture, the distinction between private devotion and public worship, and confronts concerns on recent developments in the Catechism about religious liberty and the death penalty—never shying away from deep-rooted debates or blending in a spontaneous chat about REM. Sharp, energetic, and always candid, Patrick connects faith with the turbulence of today’s headlines. IRS says churches can endorse political candidates without losing tax-exempt status (01:44) Paul - How can we promote Communion on the Tongue? I asked pastor if we could get kneelers, but he said it is not time for Adoration during Holy Communion. (09:16) Steven (email) – Friend is telling me that it's irrational to trust the Church, and the Catechism can't even be trusted because it teaches heresies (21:09) Todd - Why not talk about politics and religion. I think this is good. I know you just want to promote ideas but why can't we take a stand? (34:55) Patrick in Trenton, NJ - I heard a priest's voice changing during the Consecration. (44:36) Jim - You are wrong about the death penalty. Pope Francis himself gave a reason. (48:28) Originally aired on 07/09/25

And here is a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger.' And suddenly with the angel there was a great throng of the heavenly host, praising God and singing: ‘Glory to God in the highest heaven, and peace to men who enjoy his favour.'Why was the child in swaddling cloths a sign to the shepherds? What made them drop down to worship? What makes us drop down to worship God in our life?Thumbnail: Bartolomé Esteban Murillo (1617–1682), The Adoration of the Shepherds (c 1650), oil on canvas, 187 x 228 cm, Museo Nacional del Prado, MadridMusic: Angelic Choir Library with license from Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra.

The painting hung on the wall of a home for years, unnoticed and forgotten, until one day it fell. When it was taken to an art restorer for repairs, he discovered it was a long-lost Rembrandt masterpiece titled The Adoration of the Magi. It had been thought that only copies of the work remained, but here was the original. Suddenly the painting’s value skyrocketed to hundreds of millions of dollars. The Bible paints another picture of underestimated value and forgotten worth. Isaiah the prophet, inspired by the Holy Spirit, told God’s people that even though they would be taken away to a foreign land where they would suffer and be devalued, He would still be with them: “Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine,” He assured them (Isaiah 43:1). Though they would “pass through the waters” and “walk through the fire” ( v. 2), His faithfulness to them would not change. With words that point to His coming kingdom in Christ, God promised that He would one day restore “everyone who is called by my name,” (v. 7) and bring them home to Him. God will one day gather all who are His because they “are precious and honored in [His] sight” (v. 4), each one an original! Our Creator values us because of His infinite kindness and mercy. The world may overlook us, but He never will.

Prayer in the age of the Church takes on many different forms. Together, we examine specifically blessing, adoration, and petition. Fr. Mike emphasizes the beauty that all of our prayers of blessing are a response to God's blessings for us. He also explores how common and spontaneous prayers of petition to our Father in heaven truly are, but in the age of the Church, our petition is full of hope and not lamentation. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 2623-2633. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.
