Two weeks into 2025, how are your goals (resolutions) for the New Year looking? A lot of people may still be going to the gym weekly or even daily. Sticking to those healthy habits can be a challenge, but it's worth it. (2:30) Brian Patrick has been with Crunch Fitness for the last decade, now General Manager of the gym in Columbus GA. He has some advice on being consistent with your exercise routines. And the why lately is more about "healthy" than losing weight. Hear what he says about small challenges and friends motivating you. (8:24) Brian started his fitness journey on an Olympic power lifting team while attending high school in Savannah. He talked about essentially lifting a person over your head in 3 seconds flat. He also says showing up to the gym is more important than form, (15:57) but you can always ask questions or get help from others at the gym. What do you like to do as far as fitness? That'll keep you coming back. Why or when should you hire a personal trainer? Brian explains a few ways they can help you. Group fitness is what some people enjoy most. (24:40) Working out can also help your stress and mental health. Brian even gets a little emotional in talking about how rewarding his job is...helping soldiers, married couples, people of all shapes and ages. And what are the new trends at gyms? They include HIIT (high intensity interval training). (34:10) And we close out our chat talking about good nutrition for your health and how to maintain small changes like serving sizes and when you eat. Still gotta eat or fuel enough too!

You're listening to the Westerly Sun's podcast, where we talk about the best local events, new job postings, obituaries, and more. First, a bit of Rhode Island trivia. Today's trivia is brought to you by Perennial. Perennial's new plant-based drink “Daily Gut & Brain” is a blend of easily digestible nutrients crafted for gut and brain health. A convenient mini-meal, Daily Gut & Brain” is available now at the CVS Pharmacy in Wakefield. Now for some trivia. Did you know that Rhode Island native, Clement Labine was an American right-handed relief pitcher in Major League Baseball best known for his years with the Brooklyn and Los Angeles Dodgers from 1950 to 1960. As a key member of the Dodgers in the early 1950s, he helped the team to its first World Series title in 1955 with a win and a save in four games. He is one of eight players in MLB history to have won back-to-back World Series championships on different teams. He held the National League record for career saves from 1958 until 1962; his 96 career saves ranked fourth in MLB history when he retired. He also set a Dodgers franchise record of 425 career games pitched. Now for our feature story: By serving as vice president of the National Conference of State Legislatures, veteran lawmaker Brian Patrick Kennedy says he will have an opportunity to help ensure Rhode Island has an opportunity to influence the organization's legislative and policy agenda. Kennedy, a state representative who represents Hopkinton and a portion of Westerly, was elected to serve as vice president of the conference during the organization's legislative summit in Tampa, Florida. The bipartisan organization serves each state and U.S. territory and the nation's 7,383 state lawmakers and legislative staff. Founded in 1975, the conference works to advance the effectiveness, independence and integrity of legislatures and to foster interstate cooperation and facilitate the exchange of information among legislatures. Kennedy said: "I appreciate the opportunity to serve as vice president and look forward to working with my colleagues from around the country. NCSL has afforded legislators and staff an unrivaled opportunity to learn from the experiences of other states, exchange ideas and come up with policy solutions that can help propel our respective states and, ultimately, our entire nation forward. I also look forward to working with our Washington office to ensure federal policies are in line with state priorities." Kennedy's election marks the first time a legislator from a New England state has served in one of the conference's four leadership positions in nine years and the first time a Rhode Island lawmaker was ever selected. Kennedy remarked: "I think this is big for Rhode Island. Not only do we get to be involved with helping to set the agenda and figuring out legislative priorities on a national level, but we're going to help coordinate these central policies and how they impact state priorities moving forward."  Kennedy, who is in his 33rd year in the Rhode Island statehouse, has been involved with the conference for more than 20 years. For the past five years, Kennedy has served as speaker pro tempore in the Rhode Island House of Representatives.  Kennedy will serve one year as vice president, ascend to president-elect the following year and then become president at the legislative summit in 2024. NCSL leadership alternates between political parties every year. Idaho Speaker Scott Bedke, a Republican, will serve as president-elect of NCSL, and Speaker Scott Saiki of Hawaii, a Democrat, became the 48th president of the NCSL. For more about the coronavirus pandemic, the recovery, and the latest on all things in and around Westerly, head over to westerlysun.com. There are a lot of businesses in our community that are hiring right now, so we're excited to tell you about some new job listings. Today's Job posting comes from Crimmins Residential Staffing in Westerly. A couple in Watch Hill is looking for a part-time housekeeper. Pay is $35 per hour and you'll work there 3 days per week in season and one day per week during the off-season. For more job requirements, check out the link in the description: https://www.indeed.com/jobs?l=Westerly%2C%20RI&mna=5&aceid&gclid=Cj0KCQjwpf2IBhDkARIsAGVo0D2S3gEb-328GyRpBuTTeeKPdn3-klOh0KYAsfete6MEZmI5S4qTg-4aAnQkEALw_wcB&vjk=028da372fc87d663 Today we're remembering the life of John Henry Barrett, Jr., 84, of Hudson, New Hampshire and formerly of Westerly. A retired Episcopal Priest, John celebrated the 50th Anniversary of his Ordination in 2014, and over his ministry served parishes in Westport, CT; Concord, MA; Swampscott, MA; Johnson City, NY; and in retirement as Priest Associate at Christ Church in Westerly. He is the son of the late Dr. John and Mildred Barrett of Westerly and is predeceased by his wife of 55 years, Carol. He is survived by his 3 sons, 5 grandchildren, his sister, as well as numerous nieces and nephews. John was known to many as "Jack" and was active throughout his priesthood and his life, having served on many local and diocesan groups and committees and enjoyed the opportunity to visit the Holy Land on two occasions. He was a volunteer firefighter in Westport and served for many years as a Chaplain for the Swampscott Fire Department. Jack and his family enjoyed the outdoors and traveled every summer visiting National Parks and historic landmarks throughout the country. Thank you for taking a moment with us today to remember and celebrate John's life. That's it for today, we'll be back next time with more! Also, remember to check out our sponsor Perennial, Daily Gut & Brain, available at the CVS on Main St. in Wakefield! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For customers and OEMs, it isn't enough to have a state-of-the-art packaging system; service needs to also meet the highest standards. Pearson Packaging Systems' Rolando Pena, Director of Customer Service, and Brian Patrick, Vice President of Engineering, spoke about the many service options Pearson provides to its customer and OEM base and how their service model is a value add. Pena said that Pearson strives to provide its customers with service approaches that meet their needs as promptly as possible, no matter when that service need should arise. “And, from the OEM side, we're looking to give our customers more capacity from our service teams,” Patrick said. “How do we make that happen faster? We want to be able to get the experts connected quickly.”So, how does Pearson make these service needs happen? It's through a combination of field and remote support. “At Pearson, we have a tech support team that's available 24/7,” Pena said. “We utilize those resources to help our service techs in the field when doing installations, but also with our customers, making sure that they can reach out to these resources.” Pearson provides several tech support resources and tools for customers and OEMs. One recent tool added is Vuforia Chalk, which allows Pearson to connect directly with the customer on the phone while they are on the shop floor, see what the customer sees and help guide them to fix the issue.And Pearson also employs an E1 connection that gives them direct access to the customer's machine to diagnose and resolve problems remotely. And, for those customers who do not have the infrastructure to support these technical capabilities, Pearson always has a customer support team available to speak with on the phone.

On February 22nd, NASA released video footage of the car-sized Rover Perseverance, landing on the surface of Mars. After a journey of seven months and 293 million miles, the robot vehicle finally reached the red planet, with the aim of searching for ancient signs of life on Mars. A couple of weeks later, Elon Musk’s company Space X tested a prototype of Starship, a vehicle meant to enable mass interplanetary travel, and the eventual colonisation of other planets by humans. This, according to Musk, would be an insurance policy against possible events like nuclear war or an asteroid collision, that could wipe out all of humanity if we were to remain on Earth.But is it ethically justifiable for a government to spend billions of dollars on sending a remote control robot to Mars, when that money could be spent on improving the lives of its citizens? Should we leave space exploration to eccentric private individuals, or does that compromise humanity’s future in space? Would it be OK to try and change the surface and atmosphere of Mars, to suit our human needs? And what ethical framework should we apply to our potential future interactions with alien forms of life, if they have evolved in radically different ways from life on Earth? Brian Patrick Green is the director of technology ethics at the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics at Santa Clara University, in California’s Silicon Valley. In his forthcoming book, Space Ethics, he explores many of the moral questions that arise from a future of space exploration.

Environmental Education in 2021  So what is this “environmental education” all about? Most people think of Enviroschools and waste minimization plus vegetable gardening at school. Quite a number of schools have compost bins, worm farms and chickens running around. For more than a dozen years, Project Crimson and Mazda Foundation have planted outdoor classrooms in school grounds – forest type vegetation. Hawkes Bay's Cape to City linked all this to a large landscape project around Cape Kidnappers and 20,000 hectares of surrounding land. It encourages school kids and teachers to do the learning outside, using the environment as a context for education. Putting it into practice  I got a request from a Christchurch teacher to help the school create a butterfly garden. Of course they had monarchs in mind. But I had other ideas! There’s this gorgeous deep purple Lycaenid butterfly which is native to Canterbury. We’ve just discovered (via Hamish and Brian Patrick) that it is different from all the other “boulder copper” butterflies and therefore it has no published scientific name, nor has it an appropriate common or Maori name. The species lives on very poor terrain: the gravel and stony outwash of the large braided rives. It has been ousted from Christchurch city simply through the expansion of this man-made habitat, called suburbia. Could we bring the boulder copper butterfly back into the city?  The kids and teachers of Burnside Primary had to do a heck of a lot of research. Food plants, sources of nectar, longevity, what do males and females look like... It covered all parts of the curriculum.PE: They decided to plant a garden full of host plants and nectar supportMaori studies: They contacted local iwi for their view on translocating this taonga back into the city and what would be an appropriate Maori name. Literacy: They sourced all the plants and wrote the script for the invites to local media. Maths: They worked out the number of males versus females. Arts: The butterflies are beautiful – both males and females  Last Thursday we did the first translocation from McLeans Island to Burnside Primary School. The kids caught the butterflies by hand and by net, and carefully transported them in flax-woven baskets, line with soft fabric, so that the butterflies could hang on during the bus ride to the new location.  We had a Mihi Whakatau in the school hall; a blessing for the taonga in their new place. The butterfly will officially be described by a small group of secondary school students from Burnside High School, together with two entomological taxonomists. That’s a cool job, with genetics, morphology and ecological Science. They’ll publish the new description and name in an international peer-reviewed journal.  If we are serious about our Planet and humanity’s future, we need NATURE-LITERATE Kids. We are re-writing the execution of the curriculum.LISTEN TO AUDIO ABOVE

We always hear about paranormal hauntings and events happening on the East Coast, but very seldom, with the exception of an occasional Queen Mary investigation do we hear about the ghostly side of the West Coast. We've got just as many wonderful places to investigate out here as well and on this episode, Brian talked about some very haunted locations like the Loma Vista Hospital, the Errol Flynn Estate, the Glen Tavern Inn, and a few other Hollywood hot spots but he also touched upon some theories such as the possibility that paranormal investigators may actually leave their energy behind in the locations they investigate. That's something to ponder, so listen in and see if you agree.

Today's host(s): Scot Landry and Fr. Matt Williams Today's guest(s): Fr. Brian Flynn, Pastor of St. Mary Parish, Lynn; Carl DiMaiti, Principal of St. Mary High School; Andrea Alberti and Chris Carmody, campus ministers and religious education teachers; Helio Neto, Cristian Abarca, Megan Stacey, and Amy Donovan, students Links from today's show: Today's topics: St. Mary High School, Lynn, and the March for Life Summary of today's show: The annual March for Life in Washington, DC, is coming up this week and again the Archdiocese is sending busloads of pilgrims, including more than 100 from St. Mary High School in Lynn. Scot Landry and Fr. Matt Williams talk to the pastor, Fr. Brian Flynn; the principal, Carl DiMaiti; religion teachers Andrea Alberti and Chris Carmody; and four students, Helio Neto, Cristian Abarca, Megan Stacey, and Amy Donovan, about their experience of the March, how those experiences affect their school, how they prepare for months—including before-school meetings each week—for the March, and how they petitioned the local media to give at least as much attention to 400,000 people from all walks of life Marching for Life in DC as they do to a few dozen Occupying Boston's Dewey Square. 1st segment: Scot said Fr. Matt must be the Catholic Church's expert on Tim Tebow. Last week, he gave a few interviews on the Patriots vs. the Broncos football game and Bronco's quarterback Tim Tebow, with his very public witness of faith. They discussed how we all have the responsibility for handing on the witness of the faith. Fr. Matt said he can be an example of living the witness of your faith. They discussed LIFT on Tuesday night, which included Trent Horn, Respect Life director for the Diocese of Phoenix. They've been discussing the dignity of the human person. This month's topic was abortion and next month is physician-assisted suicide. Scot said next week will be 39 years since the Roe v. Wade decision and many people gather in Washington, DC, to mark that occasion. Fr. Matt said he's attended for many years now and the Office for the New Evangelization organizes pilgrimages of youth to attend. It is one of the most powerful and inspiring things that they do each year, to watch what happens to them in this experience, including a deepening of their life in Christ and wanting to witnesses to that. Fr. Matt said St. Mary, Lynn, is bringing 103 people to the March. 2nd segment: Scot welcomed Fr. Flynn, Carl DiMaiti, and Andrea Alberti in a remote studio in Lynn. He asked Carl how many people are coming from St. Mary's High School in Lynn and why it's such a big deal in Lynn. Carl said it starts with the leadership of the school, including the head of school, the pastor, and the campus ministers. He said they take great pride in being the top high school in the archdiocese. Scot asked Fr. Flynn what the March for Life means to him. He said it's great to participate with so many students. Last year was his first at St. Mary's and when he saw how many students were going and how important it was for them that he go, he went. The school and especially the pro-life aspect is the part of the parish assignment that makes him so happy and blessed to be at St. Mary's. Fr. Matt said he's had the privilege of being a priest-chaplain on their bus and he's found the teens to be well-prepared and understanding how this is a pilgrimage which includes sacrifice. He asked Andrea how they help the students prepare. She said Chris Carmody coordinates the pilgrimage and they start preparation three months ahead. The students commit to two meetings a week, at 7:15 am for one and after school for another. They pray and then have a theme, which this year was martyrdom and dying to self. They are also talking about being called by name, as John Paul II said, and that each pilgrim matters. Scot asked Carl who does the recruiting of the students for the March. He said Andrea and Chris play a key role and the faculty is on board and supporting it. The teachers have to arrange for the kids to be out of school for three days. When the teens come back and share their experience, it ignites and enthusiasm for next year. It's one of the biggest events of the year. Fr. Brian said this March is a big piece of what goes on St. Mary's but it's only a piece of it. What leads to going to the March is what happens the rest of the year in the four years they attend the high school. They have a foundation created for them in their faith. Scot asked how many students go each of their years at the school. Andrea said about 90% of the students who go, go every year. When they ask the teens what they loved the most, it's always those opportunities for adoration or other experiences of Christ's presence. Their experience of being a unique unrepeatable soul with a mission and a purpose who is loved is the biggest benefit of the pilgrimage. She said last year's homily at a Mass after the pilgrimage by Fr. Brian gave them new energy and excitement. Fr. Brian said last year he was struck by the small blurbs in the newspapers and other media about the March, when he'd seen 400,000 people, including so many teens, take part. So during the Mass, he passed out his newspapers in the church to show the kids that nothing was in them about it. He asked them how they felt about it and they decided that their voices were not being heard. He said this was a challenge to them, in their voices not being heard in so many ways because they are counter-cultural. Andrea said they could write to the media and ask them to give better coverage in the future. Carl said it's a great way to combine various academic lessons, including persuasive writing skills. Fr. Matt said to Fr. Brian that a number of young men from the school have attended St. Andrew Dinners with Cardinal Seán, to check out the seminary, and asked if this was connected to this pilgrimage. Fr. Brian said it is because it leads them to think about things they might not have thought about otherwise, including what else God might be calling them to do. 3rd segment: It's time to announce this week's winner of the WQOM Benefactor Raffle.

He read the letter on air, in which he talked about how 400,000 people should media coverage, comparing that to the Occupy movement, which got so much more coverage. A person will get on the front-page for murder, but the millions of murders of innocents and the protests by people against get ignored. Scot said he liked how he compared what happens at the March to the Occupy movement. Helio said he hasn't received a response yet and he's hoping the media will cover the March. Amy Donovan then read her letter. She said her aim is to save lives lost in abortion and to help the mothers who make this choice. She said it's not about changing people's minds, but about standing up what they believe. She asked the media not to ignore the 400,000 voices. Fr. Matt said he liked how she noted 500 young people who stand up for what they believe in and that's what's newsworthy, even if the media disagree with what they believe. He asked her how many times she's been. Amy said she went last year and it was a great experience. The March was breathtaking, seeing all the people together marching for the same principle. Fr. Matt said it's a beautiful realization when you realize you are not alone in your belief, not to mention seeing how big the Church is, you realize what it is to realize what it's like to be One Body in Christ. Fr. Matt asked Chris's reaction reading these letters. He said it's rewarding to know the students realize that this isn't an excuse to get out of school, but that they see the purpose of the trip and value the unrepeatable souls that are lost in abortion. He said it's great to read the letters and see the students react. It's easy to get caught up in the logistics of the trip, so the letters help to remind him of the true purpose of the trip. Helio said he went on last year's trip and the highlight was seeing the hundreds of thousands of people, when you can't see a beginning or end to the crowd. Fr. Matt asked Amy what the preparation for this trip was like compared to last year. Since it's her second trip, she's taken a leadership role to help those who are going for the first time to prepare and knowing what to expect has gotten her very excited for this trip. Fr. Matt mentioned Tim Tebow and how his open faith draws positive and negative reactions. He asked them what it's like for them in their relationships with everyone in their circles for them to stand up for life. Amy said while others may think she's wasting her time, but she feels supported by the St. Mary's community. Sometimes people are shocked because she is pro-life and she just repeats to them that everyone should be given a chance to live and stands firm in that. Scot asked Helio about reactions he gets to going on the March. He said most people he know are pro-life but even those who don't agree, respect him for it. 5th segment: Scot welcomed Meghan and Cristian to the show. He asked Meghan to read her letter. She wrote about her inalienable rights and how those rights have been infringed by being denied to certain groups. She stands pro-life to fight such injustices. As participant in the March for Life, her presence and voice have been ignored. Scot complimented her on how she infused her patriotism with her pro-life stance. she said as an American and a Catholic that those should go together. Fr. Matt asked Meghan how this year's March for Life will be different from her first one last year. Meghan said with each year she changes a lot and she knows that while it's the same message and same basic action, it will be an entirely different experience and effect on her. Scot asked her how she shares that voice she speaks of with friends and others. Meghan said even within her family, she had to educate them about abortion or the Gospel of Life that the Church teaches and by getting involved with it more herself, it's helped them to understand it's importance for them and for others at her school. Even with her friends, when she's not specifically talking about her beliefs, she makes it apparent through her actions. Scot asked Cristian to read his letter. Cristian wrote that he thought the March was too big to go unnoticed, but when he came back he was disappointed to see how little coverage it got. The medias more attention to 20,000 watching a basketball game, but not to 400,000 marching in Washington, DC. Scot said he was struck by Cristian's words about how he is walking not just for himself, but for all those who have no one to speak for themselves. Andrea said she sees the students come to understanding of why God made them and how God loves them. Scot asked Cristian about how Andrea recognizes how much he has grown and changed. Cristian gave credit to Andrea and Chris for their teaching and leading in classes. Andrea said participating in the Thirty Hour Famine that they do during the Easter Triduum helped her to focus on her faith and on trying to become a saint. 6th segments: Scot asked Chris about the New Evangelization and how he sees these students as the protagonists of it. Chris said he sees them bringing the message of Christ to everyone, including faculty and staff and families. They even bring some of their parents back to the Church. Scot asked Andrea what they're doing in the religion department that makes the students want to live their faith. Andrea remembered in her job interview that the principal said “We are uncompromisingly Catholic.” That's a big part of it. In the religion department, they took on the new framework from the US Bishops' Conference which focuses on a relationship with Christ. Fr. Matt said Andrea and Chris mentor young people in the life of the faith. He said Fr. Brian's comment that the pilgrimage is part of a whole framework of what they do to form young people and asked how they do that. Chris said it's not just the religion department but the whole faculty. They build them up in every area, through relationships, and that allows them to witness to them. They witness to them in sports and other extracurricular activity. Andrea said every Tuesday at 7:15am there are 50 to 100 students gather for prayer before school, which inspires the teachers. Scot asked what leadership responsibilities they ask of students who have been on the March. Chris said they ask them to be mentors and witnesses to the younger students. They get up and give a witness before all the others to help prepare others for each step on the pilgrimage. Chris said when they come back from the pilgrimage you see a new desire for Christ and a new interest in doing their best in all areas of their life.

Today's host(s): Scot Landry and Fr. Mark O'Connell Today's guest(s): Fr. Mitch Pacwa and Brian Patrick, speakers at the 2011 WQOM 1st Anniversary Conference Links from today's show: Today's topics: Fr. Mitch Pacwa, Brian Patrick, WQOM Conference, Sunday readings Summary of today's show: Scot and Fr. Mark welcome two of the speakers at this weekend's WQOM 1st Anniversary Conference in Lowell, Fr. Mitch Pacwa of EWTN and Brian Patrick of the Son Rise Morning Show on WQOM. They discuss the value and importance of Catholic conferences, especially during Advent, to enliven the faith and prepare for Christmas as well as to grow in fellowship with other Catholics. 1st segment: Scot and Fr. Mark talked about their week, including Friday's Mass of blessing for the new community of women with Sister Olga at the Cathedral. There about 800 people coming. Fr. Mark said Sr. Olga is a very well-known and memorable person who has touched the lives of many people. Scot said on Saturday, more than 1,000 people will join WQOM in celebrating the first anniversary of Catholic radio in Boston at the Lowell Memorial Auditorium. Scot said he loves conferences. He was very involved in the Catholic Men's and Women's Conferences in the past and will be the emcee tomorrow. Tickets will be available at the door. It runs from 9am-5pm and will end with a Mass with Cardinal Seán for Gaudete Sunday. 2nd segment: Scot and Fr. Mark welcomed Brian Patrick to the show. Scot said WQOM listeners wake up each day to learn about the Catholic faith listening to the Son Rise Morning Show, which originates out of Cincinnati. Scot asked Brian why it's good for Catholics to come to a conference in Advent or Lent. Brian said on Saturday he will talk about Advent as a time for a new beginning. The season of Advent is the beginning of the Church year. Especially with the new Mass translation, it's a new beginning even more this year. Fr. Mark asked how a conference can touch a person individually. Brian said he starts by preparing his own soul for the coming of Christ and then sharing with others his passion for Christ. Brian said he was away from his faith for many years, but he came back to Christ on his knees and realized that the Lord loved him through all those years and gave him a new beginning. Now he gets to share the Good News of Jesus Christ with people all over the world every day. So he will share his own experience and those attending will share their stories with one another. When we can share what we're going through, it prompts us along the journey. Scot said Brian said Advent is a great time to slow down, but the Christmas shopping frenzy can take us out of it. Scot said he likes an Advent retreat as a way t o step back and not get caught up in that to marvel at the Incarnation. This conference can help make Christmas more special. Brian said the culture wants us to buy in to the idea that we need to make sure the retailers have a good Christmas. But Christmas is focusing on Jesus who comes to us in the Nativity. He loves to give Christmas gifts, but he keeps them personal and simple and refuses to buy into the prevalent idea. Thank God for Catholic media that reminds us of the true reason for Advent and Christmas. Scot said the conference will be a chance to say thank you to The Good Catholic Life listeners. Brian said he loves meeting his listeners. Each morning he thinks of talking to one person because it's a personal meeting. To see the faces and meet the personalities, he then begins to picture them personally. Brian said they are privileged to have a 24-hour adoration chapel in the building where Son Rise Morning Show is broadcast each day. Fr. Mark asked Brian if he could think of a time when a conference has truly borne fruit. Brian said with the Crossing the Goal team he has attended many men's conferences and he has been moved by the fact that men and women are coming back to the reconciliation. He is moved to tears at men's conference to see lines of men going to confession to dozens of priests giving up their days to give the sacrament. Eucharistic adoration is a big part of the conferences too and to see 1,000 men on their knees adoring Christ is moving. Brian said invitation is key. We are called as disciples to invite our brothers and sisters to come back to Church. And when we invite them, we have to be willing to hear yes or no. Inviting someone to a conference opens the door to inviting them back to the Church .He encouraged everyone to invite at least one other person to come. Brian said Dr. Ray Guarendi uses humor to get our attention for a powerful message. He and his wife have adopted 10 children, some special needs. He's extremely funny and entertaining. There is a powerful message there. Fr. Mitch, too, is a brilliant teacher who speaks several language with a way of sharing the faith at a level that everyone can understand. EWTN first picked up the Son Rise Morning Show about 3 years ago. The show started 4 years ago and Sacred Heart Radio in Cincinnati started 10 years ago. He said getting on the Boston radio market last year was great and he's very grateful. Brian said last time he was in Boston he had the best seafood meal ever at Anthony's Pier 4. Fr. Mark asked Brian for his recommendation to the hosts of The Good Catholic Life to keep it fresh and always new. Brian said our faith is always fresh and new and there are so many wonderful people out there. He learns every day from the people he talks to on a regular basis, that he has on the show all the time. Always remember what's old is new. We are a universal Church that includes the faithful of all time so he advises to tap into this immense treasure of faith and wisdom. Son Rise Morning Show is on the air every weekday from 6-8am on WQOM. 3rd segment: Scot welcomed Fr. Mitch Pacwa to the show. He hosts several EWTN TV shows and is a speaker at the WQOM conference in Lowell this weekend. Scot asked Fr. Mitch why it's important to attend Catholic conferences in the seasons of Advent and Lent. Fr. Mitch said in recent years people have not been well-catechized and don't know enough about their Catholic faith. These are opportunities to help people know more about what's going on in their faith. In his experience, people know their Catholic faith when they hear, but don't know how to put it into words. We live in a time when it's important to be able to explain the faith. There is a significant amount of anti-Catholicism. We have a number of people who dislike God and the Catholic Church, in particular. We need to be able to put our faith into words to give them an answer. In 1 Peter, chapter 3, We should always be ready with a reason for our hope in Jesus Christ. Many in our culture do not have a lot of hope. The Catholic faith is there to give a reason for hope. Scot said, going to large Catholic conferences, one can feel it's tough to live the faith in daily life and seeing hundreds or thousands of like-minded Catholics at these events can inspire us and transform us and energize us to transform society. Fr. Mitch said some who try to discourage us from having faith often assume we won't be able to meet with each other, know each other, and find out the cool things that are happening in the faith. We need to help each other find out we're not alone. Scot said Fr. Mitch has led pilgrimages to the Holy Land and trying to put ourselves in the mindset of Nazareth can help us deepen our faith. Fr. Mitch said he has taken 55 groups of pilgrims to the Holy Land and he has found that you realize that the facts of our salvation did not occur in some theme park, but in a concrete place where life goes on and there are people still living close to the land. He has had the experience of pilgrims saying to him that when they go home and hear the Gospel read, suddenly it all comes to life. That is a very positive experience. Scot said St. John Baptist was always asking us to be ready for the coming of Christ. Fr. Mitch's talk on Saturday is titled “Prepare the Way for Christ.” Fr. Mitch said one of the things he's doing now is getting ready for the Year of Faith next October as declared by Pope Benedict. He would like to talk about the important role of faith. Faith is not just a psychological state; it's a commitment to the person of Christ. We are in need of hearing Jesus ask us to make the act of faith in him. The more you read the Gospel, the more he evokes a response of faith (or in some cases, a rejection of faith). Scot said one of his favorite Scriptures is “Who do you say that I am?” Who do we say Jesus is during this Advent in 2011? Fr. Mitch said what we respond with is a statement of faith. If we have faith in the fullness of what he revealed about himself then our act of faith means … In the Baltimore Catechism asks “Why did God make me?” The answer is the ultimate answer to life: “God made me to know, love, and serve him, in this life and to be happy with him in the next.” That is why we exist. So many people are running from one experience to the next where they're trying to find relief from pain or fleeting moments of pleasure, where they don't have an overview of the purpose of life. Our faith in God tells us he is there to give us that overview. He is why we exist. Scot asked Fr. Mitch what it's like for him, where he has a very large audience, to come to a conference and meet people in person who watch his show or listen to his radio shows. Fr. Mitch said it's great to get to meet the people and get their reactions. When he comes back from conferences, he's often thinking of the individuals he's met. He just came back from vacation in Texas and met some people who have an apostolate in a high-security prison and they told him how the prisoners listen to EWTN radio and 92 of the prisoners are presently in RCIA. It helps him to think and be sensitive to a group he doesn't think about unless he goes out and meets folks, to talk to them about their experience. Fr. Mitch knows he now needs to do a shout out to them to let them know that we're thinking about and praying for them. Scot said prison can be a fertile time for people to meet Christ again or for the first and begin a lifetime of ongoing conversion. Scot said this conference is also a celebration of one year of Catholic radio in Boston. He asked Fr. Mitch why Catholic radio is doing so much good. Fr. Mitch said radio is a great medium in the daytime when people are at work or driving. Once, when he was in Seattle, a person had seen a bumper sticker for Catholic radio while he was driving on his way to commit suicide. He tuned into the station, it changed his life and he became a Catholic. This is just one story. He's heard others about women changing their minds about having abortions and others like that. For most people it helps their faith, but for some it saves their lives. It is an incredible privilege to be part of this medium. 4th segment: Now as we do every week at this time, we will consider the Mass readings for this Sunday, specifically the Gospel reading. The spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me, because the LORD has anointed me; he has sent me to bring glad tidings to the poor, to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and release to the prisoners, to announce a year of favor from the LORD and a day of vindication by our God. I rejoice heartily in the LORD, in my God is the joy of my soul; for he has clothed me with a robe of salvation and wrapped me in a mantle of justice, like a bridegroom adorned with a diadem, like a bride bedecked with her jewels. As the earth brings forth its plants, and a garden makes its growth spring up, so will the Lord GOD make justice and praise spring up before all the nations. Brothers and sisters: Rejoice always. Pray without ceasing. In all circumstances give thanks, for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus. Do not quench the Spirit. Do not despise prophetic utterances. Test everything; retain what is good. Refrain from every kind of evil. May the God of peace make you perfectly holy and may you entirely, spirit, soul, and body, be preserved blameless for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The one who calls you is faithful, and he will also accomplish it. A man named John was sent from God. He came for testimony, to testify to the light, so that all might believe through him. He was not the light, but came to testify to the light. And this is the testimony of John. When the Jews from Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to him to ask him, “Who are you?” He admitted and did not deny it, but admitted, “I am not the Christ.” So they asked him, “What are you then? Are you Elijah?” And he said, “I am not.” “Are you the Prophet?” He answered, “No.” So they said to him, “Who are you, so we can give an answer to those who sent us? What do you have to say for yourself?” He said: “I am the voice of one crying out in the desert, ‘make straight the way of the Lord,'” as Isaiah the prophet said.” Some Pharisees were also sent. They asked him, “Why then do you baptize if you are not the Christ or Elijah or the Prophet?” John answered them, “I baptize with water; but there is one among you whom you do not recognize, the one who is coming after me, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to untie.” This happened in Bethany across the Jordan, where John was baptizing. Scot said this Sunday is Gaudete Sunday, which is driven by the second reading. Scot said Gaudete is Latin for “Rejoice”. Priests will wear rose-colored garments. Fr. Mark said he doesn't know why they wear, but all he knows is we don't call them pink. St. Paul tells us that God's will is to rejoice, pray, and always give thanks. Fr. Mark said the first reading is split in two: In the first half, the anointed one speaks and in the second, Zion responds. Our response can't help but be rejoicing. He said seminarians are often told, if you're going to preach the redemption, look redeemed. Scot said we should respond with rejoicing in the Lord. In my God is the joy of my soul. Joy is the hope of knowing that God loves and protects us and gives us what we need. Advent prepares us this third Sunday by focusing on joy. In Advent we think about the first coming of Jesus as the nativity and the second coming at the end of time. In those times, we rest in the hope of God's desire to pour out his love for us. Fr. Mark pointed out a third coming of Jesus, his coming in a new way at this Christmas. Scot said we're not called as adults to be blind in our faith, but we should ask and delve deep and ask questions. Scot said in the Gospel people ask John the Baptist who he is and he responds by saying who he is not. Then he identifies himself by quoting Moses. We are John-like because we can point others to Christ and get out of the way.

Today's host(s): Scot Landry Today's guest(s): Fr John Hanley OMI, Eileen Wood, and Tim Francis Today's topics: St William's Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration Chapel, the Real Presence, science versus faith Summary of today's show: The Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist is something all Catholics should know and rejoice in - St William Parish is teaching Tewksbury parishioners about the it through their Perpetual Adoration Chapel. Today we focus on the events leading up to the 5th anniversary celebration of the Chapel. Fr John Hanley, who started the Chapel; Eileen Wood, who helps run the Chapel now; and Tim Francis, who will be speaking in two weeks join Scot for a discussion on how spending time with Jesus in the Eucharist can enhance our faith lives. 1st segment: Scot started the show by wishing everyone a happy Halloween, that it be safe and a good preparation for All Saints Day tomorrow. Today is also the last day to pre-register at a lower price for the WQOM Catholic Conference on Saturday December 10th. The conference will feature Brian Patrick, Fr Mitch Pacwa, Dr Ray Guarendi, Cardinal Sean, and Sister Olga Yaqob. Scot also reminded everyone that tomorrow is All Saints Day, a Holy Day of Obligation. Scot also announced that a special Mass for All Soul's Day will take place on WQOM at 2pm with Cardinal Sean. He concluded the segment by asking for prayerful support of The Station of the Cross Fund Drive that will be this week on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Your prayers and generosity help keep WQOM on the air. 2nd segment: Scot welcomed Fr John and Eileen to the program. Eileen is a parishioner at St William's in Tewksbury, and Fr John just completed 8 years as pastor at the parish. Fr John explained that when he arrived at St William's in 2003, the three previous priests had been transferred out at the same time. The popularity of adoration was rising due to ACTS retreats and other events, so he brought up the idea of a perpetual adoration chapel to the Parish Council to build on their Tuesday all-day and Friday overnight adoration programs. The Council prepared for the next 8 months to start the program - getting volunteers, making the physical space, and organizing the logistics. The decision was made to open the Chapel on the feast of Christ the King. Scot emphasized that there are only five or six perpetual chapels in the Archdiocese, making it even harder for St William's to launch it. Fr John said they recruited friends and family from the parish and all over the greater Lowell area. Eileen was involved from the beginning, having helped organize previous adoration programs. Eileen said that about 80 to 85% of the adorers are parishioners at St William. Scot asked what times are the hardest to fill - Eileen said surprisingly it isn't the middle of the night or early morning, but weekend afternoons when people might have to give up family events or travel. She said that the very first call she got when they announced the schedule was a man who wanted to reserve Thursday morning at 3am! Scot asked about the profile of the people who come in late - Fr Hanley said that some people like to wake up early, but many are late shift workers who may come at the end of their work day. Scot asked what preparations and education the Council did to recruit volunteers. Eileen said they published a long series of bulletin inserts to answer questions about what perpetual adoration is, what people do during adoration, why adoration is important, and more. One parishioner, Eileen continued, was touched by the comparison of adoration to having a private audience with your favorite celebrity. Scot observed that having a regularly scheduled appointment with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament can help lead to a more structured and regular prayer life too. Fr John agreed, and added that people tell him they get a sense of peace when they come to adore. Sometimes the silence and mediation or praying the rosary helps them bring their problems to the Lord, he said. Eileen said that praying in front of the Eucharist has helped her grow in her faith, but that she also hears from people who say that adoring helps them be better in their jobs. Scot said when Adoration Boston launched, they had subway ads that showed the sun as "Rays for Body," but the Eucharist in a monstrance as "Rays for the Soul." Fr Hanley said that Blessed Mother Theresa once answered the question of what she did in adoration by saying "I look at Jesus, and Jesus looks at me." Scot asked about what the fruits to the parish are from the adoration chapel. Eileen said that the community became more devoted, retreats were more full, and the parish became more of a family. She said that sometimes Catholic parishes don't follow suit of our other Christian brothers and sisters in that regard - the combination of the retreat program makes everyone more close. Fr John agreed with Eileen, and added that the community came together in their beliefs for everyone, not just those who participated in the adoration ministry. Eileen said that the adorers are everyone from high school students whose parents carpool to adoration to older parishioners and religious education students. Fr John said the biggest surprise for him was how easy it was to get late night and early morning adorers to sign up! 3rd segment: Scot asked Eileen to give an overview of the three main events that St William's is hosting to celebrate the 5th anniversary of the adoration chapel. The first event is the Vatican International Exhibit on Eucharistic Miracles - a large display of Church-approved Eucharistic miracles throughout the world. The exhibit will be in the lower church from November 12th to November 20th from 8am to 8pm. After Masses on the weekend, there will be a children's level story reading so that children can learn about the miracles on their level as well. The exhibit has 159 panels featuring many maps, pictures, and information about the miracles. The second event on November 14th, 15th, and 16th features speaker Tim Francis. Eileen said that the event will be run like a parish mission - Tim will be speaking about both Eucharistic and other miracles that science has verified but cannot explain. The third event is on Saturday, November 19th with Jesse Romero from 8am to 6:15pm, including lunch, the Angelus, chaplet of Divine Mercy, and Mass at 4pm. Jesse will be speaking at an all-day event, covering topics such as what Christ the King should mean to all of us, how to deal with loved ones leaving the Church, and the importance of the Eucharist in our lives. Eileen stressed that the events are open to all, not just to St William's parishioners. 4th segment: Tim Francis joined Scot, Fr John, and Eileen by phone. Tim said that his talks are aimed to be an evangelization opportunity to bring people back to the Eucharist - the source and summit of our Catholic faith. He said he plans to talk about several miracles that drew atheist and agnostic scientists to be faithful Catholics. Scot noted that Tim welcomes people to be skeptical of what he is saying, as long as they are not closed minded. Tim explained that asking concrete and intelligent questions are a healthy part of being skeptical, and a natural part of human curiosity. He explained that, even though information about Katya Rivas has been made very public, the people who dismiss it without watching video footage or reading the reports are not being skeptical, they just refuse to open their mind to listen to the facts. Tim and Scot talked about Tim's background - Tim said that his sales background tainted him a bit against following anything that had emotion involved. It caused him to fall away from the Church, but after his mother's death he started to come back. Tim continued, saying that the information that he will be discussing at St William's is what made him come back - the factual validation of the faith gave him the confidence he needed to make a connection with God. Fr John said that we are a sacramental people - we believe in things beyond what we can see. Our entire sacramental life is based on trusting that God is in action in our world, Fr John continued, and that miracles are God's way of reminding us that He is with us. Scot asked Tim to share an example of what he will be sharing in Tewksbury later this month. Tim said that he'll be 43 in December, and his father will be 75. When his father grew up, they didn't question their faith - for his father's generation, it's very odd that people need proof or question their faith. Tim gave the opinion that the culture of today is a very "see to believe" one. The greatest miracle we know, Tim continued, is the miracle that happens every day on the altar - when a priest consecrates a host and it becomes Jesus. If we truly appreciated this miracle, we'd be in the Church early, late, all the time on our knees worshiping. Tim related the story of a priest who was doubting the ability of God to work through him to consecrate - when he was celebrating Mass, the host turned to heart tissue and started to bleed. Tim said that before he came back to the Church, he and his wife were very caught up in the world. He said that understanding the treasure of the Eucharist has made him more compassionate and loving towards his wife and family, and to everyone around him. He said it's very important that the Eucharist, what we call the sacrament of love, turned into heart tissue in this miracle. Scot said that Pope Benedict notes that many people in society try to pit science and faith against each other - contradicting that God gave us science to support our belief in Him. If we pursue science without preconceived ideas, Scot continued, we can see God's work in all disciplines and lead us to the truth of God's love for us. Tim said much of his information sidesteps traditional arguments about God with scientists - going right to the facts of the miracles. How, for instance, can a plaster statue of Jesus bleed or weep? Science doesn't have an answer, Tim continued, and that's where faith takes over.

Today's host(s): Scot Landry and Fr. Mark O'Connell Today's guest(s): Brian Patrick of the Son Rise Morning Show and Maria Bain, general manager of WQOM Today's topics: WQOM; Prepare the Way Conference; Brian Patrick Summary of today's show: Maria Bain, general manager of WQOM, returns to the show to talk about the first anniversary of Boston's Catholic radio station and to encourage listeners to attend the Prepare the Way Conference in Lowell on Dec. 10. Then Brian Patrick, host of the Son Rise Morning Show on WQOM, joins Scot and Fr. Mark to talk about the value of such conferences in Advent as a way to prepare for Christmas. Finally, Fr. Mark and Scot, as they do each week, discuss the Sunday readings with a particularly powerful Gospel this week. 1st segment: Scot asked Fr. Mark about attending the Canon Law Society of America meeting in Jacksonville, FLorida, last week. He said there was a tropical storm hanging over the city last week, but the convention was good. He said the theme was the rights of the faithful and the rights of the Church in canon law. He said more than 300 people attended. Scot said these conventions are great for ongoing learning and ensuring they are on top of their game. Scot said yesterday afternoon the Stanley Cup at the Pastoral Center on Thursday as part of the finish of the bet between Cardinal Sean and Archbishop Miller on the NHL championship series. Fr. Mark grew up in Canada and was a hockey-mad kid, so getting a photo with the cup with his brother was a big deal. He remarked on the humongous championship ring worn by one of the Bruins staff. Scot said George Martell took a neat photo of Cardinal Sean with his episcopal ring next to the Bruin ring and a Patriots Super Bowl ring worn by Frank Mendes of the Pastoral Center staff. 2nd segment: Scot and Fr. Mark welcomed Marian Bain to the show. He said she had an exciting week last week at the EWTN radio conference. She was able to meet many of the people from around the world working in Catholic radio. There are 15,000 AM/FM radio stations, 1,500 of which are Protestant and only 200 Catholics ones. Only 16 years ago, there 7 Catholic radio stations. Scot said the annual fund drive for the station is very important for keeping it on the air. This is coming up on November 5. The theme is “Go forth for the new evangelization.” Scot said he helped kick off a new Catholic radio station last month in Worcester. He said then it's up to all us who benefit from the station to keep it going. Maria said the fund drive provides 75% of the operating costs. She thanked listeners for their continued generosity as well all the priest in the archdiocese who have allowed them to give parish presentations and get the word out about Catholic radio. Maria said the goal for this year's fund drive is $300,000. She asked listeners for their prayers. On December 10 in the Lowell Memorai Auditorium, there will be a Catholic conference, called Prepare the Way, sponsored by the Stations of the Cross, which will feature Dr. Ray Guarendi, Brian Patrick, Fr. Mitch Pacwa, Sr. Olga Yaqob, and Cardinal Sean, who will celebrate Mass. There will be lots of opportunities during the day, including meeting all the speakers. Scot said he's looking forward to thanking everyone who listens to the show in person. Tickets can be purchased on the or by calling 877-888-6279. Those who receive the newsletter can also find an order form inside this month's edition. Scot said their's an early-bird discount for tickets ordered before October 31. Maria thanked all the listeners for all their letters and calls saying how WQOM has been changing their lives. 3rd segment: Scot and Fr. Mark welcomed Brian Patrick to the show. Scot said WQOM listeners wake up each day to learn about the Catholic faith listening to the Son Rise Morning Show, which originates out of Cincinnati. Scot asked Brian why it's good for Catholics to come to a conference in Advent or Lent. Brian said on December 10 he will talk about Advent as a time for a new beginning. The season of Advent is the beginning of the Church year. Especially with the new Mass translation, it's a new beginning even more this year. Fr. Mark asked how a conference can touch a persona individually. Brian said he starts by preparing his own soul for the coming of Christ and then sharing with others his passion for Christ. Brian said he was away from his faith for many years, but he came back to Christ on his knees and realized that the Lord loved him through all those years and gave him a new beginning. Now he gets to share the Good News of Jesus Christ with people all over the world every day. So he will share his own experience and those attending will share their stories with one another. When we can share what we're going through, it prompts us along the journey. Scot said Brian said Advent is a great time to slow down, but the Christmas shopping frenzy can take us out of it. Scot said he likes an Advent retreat as a way t o step back and not get caught up in that to marvel at the Incarnation. This conference can help make Christmas more special. Brian said the culture wants us to buy in to the idea that we need to make sure the retailers have a good Christmas. But Christmas is focusing on Jesus who comes to us in the Nativity. He loves to give Christmas gifts, but he keeps them personal and simple and refuses to buy into the prevalent idea. Thank God for Catholic media that reminds us of the true reason for Advent and Christmas. Scot said the conference will be a chance to say thank you to The Good Catholic Life listeners. Brian said he loves meeting his listeners. Each morning he thinks of talking to one person because it's a personal meeting. To see the faces and meet the personalities, he then begins to picture them personally. Brian said they are privileged to have a 24-hour adoration chapel in the building where Son Rise Morning Show is broadcast each day. Fr. Mark asked Brian if he could think of a time when a conference has truly borne fruit. Brian said with the Crossing the Goal team he has attended many men's conferences and he has been moved by the fact that men and women are coming back to the reconciliation. He is moved to tears at men's conference to see lines of men going to confession to dozens of priests giving up their days to give the sacrament. Eucharistic adoration is a big part of the conferences too and to see 1,000 men on their knees adoring Christ is moving. Brian said invitation is key. We are called as disciples to invite our brothers and sisters to come back to Church. And when we invite them, we have to be willing to hear yes or no. Inviting someone to a conference opens the door to inviting them back to the Church .He encouraged everyone to invite at least one other person to come. Brian said Dr. Ray Guarendi uses humor to get our attention for a powerful message. He and his wife have adopted 10 children, some special needs. He's extremely funny and entertaining. There is a powerful message there. Fr. Mitch, too, is a brilliant teacher who speaks several language with a way of sharing the faith at a level that everyone can understand. EWTN first picked up the Son Rise Morning Show about 3 years ago. The show started 4 years ago and Sacred Heart Radio in Cincinnati started 10 years ago. He said getting on the Boston radio market last year was great and he's very grateful. Brian said last time he was in Boston he had the best seafood meal ever at Anthony's Pier 4. Fr. Mark asked Brian for his recommendation to the hosts of The Good Catholic Life to keep it fresh and always new. Brian said our faith is always fresh and new and there are so many wonderful people out there. He learns every day from the people he talks to on a regular basis, that he has on the show all the time. Always remember what's old is new. We are a universal Church that includes the faithful of all time so he advises to tap into this immense treasure of faith and wisdom. Son Rise Morning Show is on the air every weekday from 6-8am on WQOM. 4th segment: Now as we do each week at this time, we will hear the Gospel reading for this coming Sunday's Mass and then consider its meaning for us. Thus says the LORD: “You shall not molest or oppress an alien, for you were once aliens yourselves in the land of Egypt. You shall not wrong any widow or orphan. If ever you wrong them and they cry out to me, I will surely hear their cry. My wrath will flare up, and I will kill you with the sword; then your own wives will be widows, and your children orphans. “If you lend money to one of your poor neighbors among my people, you shall not act like an extortioner toward him by demanding interest from him. If you take your neighbor's cloak as a pledge, you shall return it to him before sunset; for this cloak of his is the only covering he has for his body. What else has he to sleep in? If he cries out to me, I will hear him; for I am compassionate.” When the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together, and one of them, a scholar of the law tested him by asking, “Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?” He said to him, “You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and the first commandment. The second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments.” Scot said the Old Testament had 613 commands given by God, not just the 10 Commandments. Jesus then boiled it all down to the two commandments. One key element is that there's an order and priority. It comes first that we love God. Fr. Mark said Jews would understand this as the Shema, especially every one of Jesus' time: “Hear, O Israel! The LORD is our God, the LORD alone! Therefore, you shall love the LORD, your God, with your whole heart, and with your whole being, and with your whole strength. Take to heart these words which I command you today. Keep repeating them to your children. Recite them when you are at home and when you are away, when you lie down and when you get up.Bind them on your arm as a sign* and let them be as a pendant on your forehead. Write them on the doorposts of your houses and on your gates.” (Deuteronomy 6:4-9) And when Jesus added the second part about loving the neighbor, it would have stood out to everyone hearing it. Scot said sometimes we hear the second part of this command from Jesus as the priority. People serve others but don't put the vertical relationship with God as number one. Maybe they don't pray every day or attend Sunday Mass, even while they say that they're a good person who is good to others. There's a proper ordering of things and the proper order matters. Fr. Mark asked what does it really mean to love God with all your heart? With all your soul? With all your mind? Think of all the things you think about during the day. Are some of the ways we use our brain not loving God? Are some of the ways we use our heart not loving God? Scot said there are many times when he feels stressed in making a decision and he realizes he hasn't involved God in that decision. God wants to help us in all the big issues and small issues too. Many Catholics come to church every Sunday, but they aren't dedicating the 167 hours of the rest of the week to God as well. Fr. Mark said we are all responsible for leaving good fruit on this earth. He was reading a homily the other day by Fr. Francis Duffy at the funeral of Fr. Mychal Judge, the NYFD chaplain who died at 9/11. He said: “We come to bury Mike Judge's body but not his spirit. We come to bury his mind but not his dreams. We come to bury his voice but not his message. We come to bury his hands but not his good works. We come to bury his heart but not his love. Never his love.” Fr. Mark said he hopes someone can say the same of him someday. Scot said in the second part, there were some people who thought they were being faithful just being fulfilling the law with respect to God. God wants us to love our neighbors because every neighbor is created in God's image. Fr. Mark said Jesus shows us how to reflect God's love by loving others without counting the cost. Love isn't just a feeling, but it's self-sacrifice.

Today's host(s): Scot Landry and Fr. Matt Williams Today's guest(s): Br. Rahl Bunsa, General Superior of the Brotherhood of Hope, and Fr. Ted Psemeneki Today's topics: The Brotherhood of Hope Summary of today's show: Br. Rahl and Br. Ted of the Brotherhood of Hope sit down with Scot and Fr. Matt to tell them about their small religious order's very big mission in Catholic campus ministry in Boston that reaches out to more than 60,000 Catholic college students across the city. They also play selections from the Brotherhood's music CDs and discuss a TV show produced by the Brotherhood called “Hope on Campus”. 1st segment: Scot welcomed back Fr. Matt. He offered him a congratulations on his Name Day because today is the Feast of St. Matthew the Apostle. Fr. Matt said he loves the . It's a beautiful interplay of darkness and light, with Matthew being called out of the darkness and into the light. Jesus' finger in the painting recalls the image of God's finger touching Adam's in Michaelangelo's Sistine Chapel. Fr. Matt said the consolation of Matthew a sinner being called by God is that God knows what he's getting into when he calls us. It's not our qualifications that concern God, but who we are. Scot said his uncle, Frank Cluff of Lowell, died last night at 73. He was able to spend time with him last night and was inspired by this holy man prepare for death. He told Scot's brother, Fr. Roger Landry, to tell others in his funeral homily to encourage people not to fear death. Scot related his story that 21 years ago his uncle was within days of death because he couldn't get a kidney transplant. He had coffee with a friend and told him it might be their last opportunity to be together. That afternoon, the friend's 21-year-old son died in a car accident and it turned out his son was a perfect match for the kidney. May the souls of the faithful departed rest in peace. Today's guests are from the Brotherhood of Hope, who specialize in campus ministry across the country, and a new citywide campus ministry they'll be starting at Cardinal Sean's urging. 2nd segment: Scot welcomed Br. Rahl and Br. Ted. He said Br. Rahl was one of the first members of the order when it began 31 years ago. It started out of lay communities in Michigan and New Jersey. There were five brothers at first in 1980 and now there are a little more than 20. Their main work is in campus ministry, but also men's ministry, youth work, service trips to Tanzania, and some seminary work. Br. Rahl first encountered the Brotherhood when he was studying at Seton Hall University. He was impressed at how they were just good guys to be around. He had just discerned that God wasn't calling him to the priesthood and he had thought God was calling him to marriage. But a brother asked him to consider this call. Scot said even growing up in a very Catholic community, you don't encounter religious brothers as often as you see religious sisters, unless you are connected to particular ministries, like schools. Br. Rahl said in the beginning the order created a painting company to support itself. The men had to shift from their secular jobs to other kinds of jobs as they transitioned to full-time ministry. Their first applied ministry was as campus ministry at Rutgers. Br. Rahl said Br. Ted was among the first new members to come from Rutgers. Br. Ted was an engineering student at Rutgers. Since high school, he'd been attending church on his own. By his sophomore year, he'd connected to the Brotherhood and experienced a life change and the indwelling of Christ within him. A certain loneliness was gone. He'd never felt a calling to the priesthood, but on a visit to a monastery he felt God's call. One of the brothers told him that he'd been waiting for God to give Br. Ted a call and that gave him the confidence. Fr. Matt noted that they are the first group of consecrated brothers on the radio show. He asked them to explain what a consecrated brother is. Br. Ted said we look at Jesus who became our brother to us so we could be adopted by the Father. They imitate Christ the brother who came to lead people to the Father and to be adopted. Br. Rahl added that in imitating JEsus, they take vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience and then live in community with a common mission together, like Jesus and the Apostles. That's in the nature of a brotherhood. Scot noted that it's their presence in the Church and commitment to the vows in the community is itself a sign of the new evangelization. It is a sign to the world. Scot asked them to explain the difference between Hope and an optimism or natural hope. Br. Rahl said the theological virtue of hope means that through the indwelling presence of Christ we receive through baptism, Hope recasts the whole of reality so we understand the truth of God's promises as heaven-focused, but earth-rooted. When we intercede for one another or bring the Gospel to others, that's an exercise of the virtue of hope. Scot described their logo, which incorporates a cross and anchor. Br. Ted said their hope is anchored in heaven and gives a confident expectation of heaven. There is also an M to signify Mary at the foot of the cross. Br. Rahl said while they were ministering at Rutgers, they received an invitation from the bishop in Tallahassee to minister at Florida State University, which is their largest campus ministry. Later, during an impromptu visit by Cardinal Bernard Law who happened to stop by their house he got to know them. In 1995 they were asked to come up to Boston where they did some ministries. In 2000, they started at Boston University and in 2005, at Northeastern University. They live at St. Catherine of Genoa in Somerville. Nine of them live there. So currently they are ministering at Florida State, Rutgers, and Northeastern. Scot first encountered the Brotherhood of Hope through their Advent retreats for men. Those men Scot met there became the team that organized the Boston Catholic Mens' Conferences. He asked them how they felt the call to focus their ministry on campus ministry. Br. Rahl said many of the brothers experienced their call to holiness while at college and it seemed to make sense to minister to young people at a critical point in their lives. They see very encouraging fruit in campus ministry. 3rd segment: It's time to announce the winner of the weekly WQOM Benefactor Raffle. Our prize this week is and , both by Danny Abramowicz, Peter Herbeck, Curtis Martin and Brian Patrick. This week's winner is Joanne and Robert Massey from Chelmsford, MA.

We'll be announcing the winner each Wednesday during “The Good Catholic Life” program. 4th segment: Scot noted that Br. Ted wrote and performed the song just played during the break. Br. Ted said the Brotherhood of Hope creates Advent music CDs because no one really creates Advent music CDs. Advent is a natural topic for the Brotherhood because of Advent's relation to hope. Scot noted that Br. Rahl just completed 11 years of ministry at Boston University. Cardinal Seán asked the Brotherhood to expand their ministry to cover many more campuses in Boston through a new initiative called H.U.B. (Hope for Undergraduates in Boston), based at Northeastern University, but reaching out to 60,000 Catholic college students. Br. Rahl said they have seen so much fruit from their campus ministry over the past 11 years at both BU and Northeastern that Cardinal Seán to expand their ministry to schools which don't have the resources for campus ministry, like Wentworth, Mass. College of Pharmacy, Berklee, Wheelock, Simmons and many more. Br. Rahl said they are just beginning their program. It's going to be an organic process. They are working with students to train them to reach out to their peers, to lead Bible studies, to invite others to Mass. Over the next year, they will be working to get to know administrators and staff at these schools as well. He's encouraged the Cardinal has confidence in them and asked for prayers from listeners in their work. Fr. Matt said he's heard people say that a critical area of focus for the Church is college campus ministry because it is crucial for the Church to connect people at that age to connect with the life of the Church. He asked what challenges the Brotherhood is facing on campuses now. Br. Ted said it's a key time to be reaching out to an age group that is mature enough to make good decisions while they're making lifelong decisions. On one hand they have time, but on the other they're busy, so that's the first challenge. There are also a lot of options for students. When a freshman settles in, they are bombarded by all that they can get involved with: clubs, sports, and other organizations, most of which demand far less than the Church does. Br. Ted said they have come to realize that they have to challenge the students and ask something of them, to make it seem worthwhile through sacrifice and hard work. The students are also bombarded by a lot influences, including sex and drugs and drinking. Sometimes, the universities don't help with those issues. Many of the students are lonely or depressed or stressed for the first time. Scot asked how many of the students involved with the Brotherhood connect with them right away versus those who come along later. Br. Ted said there is a good mix of how people come to them. If people come and get involved early, they tend to stick it through. Br. Rahl said many of them, as their relationship with Christ deepens, they want to tell their friends and start inviting them to programs. The Brotherhood create experiences that connect with what's going on on campus. For example, they have intramural sports teams that compete with other campus organizations. Br. Ted said they offer card and games nights, minor competitions, lots of food (barbecues and dinners), but the primary end is to bring them to Mass. They also do a Wednesday night gathering called A New Life with prayer and a talk to challenge them in their faith. Br. Rahl told a story of a Texas Hold-Em tournament where one of the students who wasn't Catholic, but was a good card player, won and eventually has become very involved in his faith and inviting others to be involved. Scot asked them how they minister to students in the midst of a hook-up culture. Br. Ted said he sees even good Catholic church-going students who live a double life, involved both kinds of culture. They try to teach them about self-control and not objectifying others. Br. Rahl said as they connect with Christ it becomes more than just growing in natural virtue, but also in the Gospel virtues. He said one of the universities they work at offers a yearly sex week, which promotes the hook-up culture. The Brotherhood provides a counter-culture and encourages the students that they don't have to be slaves to it. Br. Ted notes that it's not all on the brothers, but that the students who are already living the life of faith and are the best witnesses for Christian love and chastity. Scot noted that the Brotherhood of Hope is mainly supported through donations of those who want to make an impact on college campuses. People can make donations at their website at . CatholicTV also came to the Brotherhood of Hope a few years ago to film a 13-part series called Hope on Campus. People can watch the shows right from their website.

Today's host(s): Scot Landry and Fr. Matt Williams Today's topics: Understanding and embracing the Cross of Christ Summary of today's show: On this Feast of the Exaltation of the Cross, Scot and Fr. Matt confront the scandal of the Cross, explain how and why Catholics embrace the Cross of Christ as a sign of ultimate love, talk a little about the history of the feast day as well as why our cathedral in Boston is dedicated to the Cross, and then considers the prayers and readings from today's Mass for the feast. 1st segment: Scot and Fr. Matt will talk about the power and scandal and confusion of the Cross of Christ because today is the Feast of the Exaltations of the Cross, which is important in Boston because our Cathedral is dedicated to the Holy Cross. Fr. Matt told Scot that his office has been working over the past week to plan out their schedule for the next year for youth ministry and young adult ministry. He said it's important to step back and evaluate, to consider what you do well and what you don't do well, to look at what they have done over the past year. Especially in youth ministry, you need to do more than just pull out what you did last year and do it again. The Holy Spirit evangelizes each generation in a new way. 2nd segment: Today we honor the holy cross by which Christ redeemed the world. Veneration of the cross began in the 4th century after the discovery of the relics of the Cross by St. Helen, mother of Emperor Constantine, on September 14, 326. In the Western Church the feast came into prominence in the seventh century — after 629, when the Byzantine emperor Heraclitus restored the Holy Cross to Jerusalem, after defeating the Persians who had stolen it. The cross is the primary symbol of our faith. Fr. Matt said we find the cross everywhere in our society, and it is the power of God made manifest, the manifestation of his love. The sacraments bring the power of the cross into the moment of grace it confers. The first prayer we learn is the Sign of the Cross. During baptism, the baby or adult is baptized with water in the Sign of the Cross. In confirmation, the oil is place on the forehead in the Sign of the Cross. And so on through the sacraments. Scot said the YouCat, a new catechism intended for youth in a question and answer format. The Cross on which Jesus, although innocent, was cruelly innocent was the place of utmost degradation and abandonment,. He chose the Cross to bear the sin of the world and bring the world back to God. God could not show his love more forcibly than allowing his son to be nailed to the cross for us. Crucifixion was the most shameful form of execution in Roman times and God entered into the most abysmal suffering of those times. Fr. Matt talked about how Jesus became a curse to redeem his people on the cross. The cross was considered to be a curse and those crucified on it to be cursed. So Christi who is sinless became cursed on behalf of all of us sinners. He was willing to suffer the most painful form of death to show us that he is the true Lamb of God willing to take away all our sins. Fr. Matt said you often realize how much faith is a gift and it takes humility to receive that gift. Fr. Matt told a story from tradition that when the Persians returned the Cross, the Emperor Heraclius carried the Cross back into Jerusalem on his back. He was clothed in costly garments and jewels. But at the foot of Calvary, he couldn't pass onto the hill. So the bishop of Jerusalem told him that in his costly garments he was far from resembling Jesus. So the Emperor changed into penitential garb and was able to carry it to the top of the hill. In order to conform our lives to the cross, we need humility. Scot noted that Jesus told us that we have to pick up our cross to follow him as well in order to be his disciple. That's challenging in this culture where we look at self-denial as a big deal. Fr. Matt said the saints are always reflecting on the cross, which teaches us by their witness. They always meditate on the wounds of Christ as a sign of the love of Christ. Thomas a Kempis, Imitation of Christ: “If you carry your cross joyfully, it will soon carry you.” Fr. Matt said Andrea Alberti often preaches the cross to the teens she ministers to and says, “Who doesn't respond to love?” Evangelization always begins with love. From the love we have in ourselves, we have to introduce others to the love of Jesus. She tells them, “How much are you worth? The Precious Blood of Jesus.” Fr. Matt said the movie The Passion of The Christ was an accurate and shocking portrayal of the crucifixion of Jesus and just what he went through. Scot remembers Jim Caviezel, the actor who portrayed Jesus, talking at the Boston Catholic Mens and Womens Conference about how, even with special effects and protection, how much he suffered himself. And then he understood that Jesus suffered more than just physically, but also mentally as he considered the sins of all of us that he was carrying. In the scene where Jesus falls with the cross at his mother's feet, you see Jesus close his eyes and hug the cross. Why? Because Jesus knew that this was the means by which he would gain for all of us eternal life with the heavenly Father. It's a reaffirmation of his mission and why he came. Scot said on Good Friday, the central part of the service on that day is the procession where we all venerate the cross. We can venerate the cross each day as well. 3rd segment: It's time to announce the winner of the weekly WQOM Benefactor Raffle.

Fr. Matt thinks of the thousands of priests who have been ordained in the current cathedral and all the beautiful liturgies over the past century plus, including funeral of our bishops and Holy Week liturgies. The current cathedral was inaugurated in 1875 on the Feast of Immaculate Conception, replacing the original cathedral downtown on Franklin Street. At the time, the South End was much more rural. The cathedral is longer than a football field and 12 stories high. Scot recommends listeners visit this beautiful church. Fr. Matt said for those who haven't seen the giant churches in Europe, they will be struck by the size of it compared to other churches in the US. In St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican, on the floor of the church, there are plaques in the floor marking the size of other churches in the world compared to St. Peter's. Holy Cross is one of the churches listed in comparison. Fr. Matt said as you come down the main aisle, on the right, you see the stained glass window of St. Helen discovering the Cross in Jerusalem. Scot said there is richness in meditating on the cross in our lives, especially when doing so in the Cathedral on this feast. He said the North Transept window allows one to meditate on the resurrection of Christ and on the South side is the exaltation of the cross. In the Blessed Sacrament chapel, up until about a year ago there was a relic of the True Cross there. It was stolen about a year ago, and later returned. It is planned that it will be put back when it can be better secured. 5th segment: Scot quotes the YouCat: “Why are we expected to accept suffering our lives” and accept the cross of Jesus? Why does God permit suffering? Christians should not seek suffering, but when confronted by it, it can become meaningful for us when united with the sufferings of Christ. Human suffering becomes united with redeeming love of Christ. Fr. Matt said that if he had the answers to why there is suffering, he would write a book and make a lot of money. There is no single answer to say why anything happens for a particular reason. We have to look at the cross of Jesus Christ. There is a God who did not remain distant and removed from our human condition, but rather emptied himself, taking the form of a slave and giving himself up to be pierced for our sins. He paid a debt he didn't owe because we owed a debt we couldn't pay. He notes that the Holy Father writes to people in suffering that he is “spiritually close” to them. Now imagine how God is even closer to us when we are suffering. If God's posture is to be close to us, why would he send us evil to drive us away from him? By offering up a prayer for others, to offer up our suffering for the sake of others, not only changes other, it changes ourselves, because it purifies us and helps us to avoid becoming bitter and inward-turning. Scot said one of the challenging questions is why suffering is not doled evenly. Some seem to suffer more. We are told that in the challenges we face, God will give us the grace to deal with them as long as we ask. Fr. Matt said we all know people whose suffering seems to be ongoing and continuous. We look to the Cross and the saints would rejoice in their sufferings. They would say that the Lord loves them more deeply that the Lord allowed them to share more deeply of his suffering. Every single one of us, no matter how much suffering we have, have to consider why we are here on this earth and what is our ultimate destiny. Scot quoted the hymn, “Lift High the Cross”: “Lift High the Cross, the Love of Christ proclaim, until all the world proclaim his holy name!” They then considered the prayers of the Mass today. Scot suggested that listeners take the opportunity to venerate the cross in their home tonight and embrace the cross that redeemed the world.
