Fr. Mike zeroes in on Isaiah 5-6 today. He emphasizes the literary masterpiece of the parable of the vineyard in Isaiah 5 and how it represents the story of Israel. He also shows us how Isaiah 6 is full of rich symbolism that points to the sacred realities of the Mass. We are reminded that God is truly holy and deserving of our praise. Today's readings are Isaiah 5-6, Tobit 5-6, and Proverbs 10:1-4. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.

The Catechism has spent considerable time unpacking Holy Communion—the “sacrament of sacraments”—with us, and now she summarizes the most essential truths that we must internalize and move forward with. Fr. Mike takes this “nugget day” to tell us that God desires to feed us. He has given us his Son so that we might be filled with him and made whole again, in unity with him for all of eternity. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 1406-1419. 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.

What's up and welcome to all the new danglers. Danglers is a term you will hear insanely often here. This is not your typical “Catholic” podcast lol. To all of you returning, welcome back hopefully you didn't goon this week and get fatter. We're goon shamers and fat shamers here at CW. 1000%. Alright so check it out.. this past week I had a very convicting confession. Happens to me every now and again. I was convicted specifically about my listening to sinful music. It is one of the most deeply rooted attachments I have, but it must go. Easier said than done, but let's talk about attachment this episode. 

Send us a textI preached  the memorial service for NHL Hockey hall of fame legend, Alex Delvecchio, at Modetz Funeral Home, Saturday, July 12. (2 Corinthians 4:5–10, Psalm 23, Matthew 11:25-30.)We do not come to God alone. Someone brings us to faith, and we help others find their way to God. There is no solitary way to heaven.

A lawyer asks a question in an attempt to trap Our Lord, but Jesus answers with a question and a story, and the response to both shows the Law of God is understandable, and our neighbor are those in need.

Candid Catholic Convos 7.13.25   SHOW DESCRIPTION:   You are so much more than your external features. God saw the whole world, and saw that it was good, but He also saw it was not complete without YOU in it. Now that sounds great on paper, but in the throws of our human brokenness and negativity, how can we treat this gift God has given us with respect AND remember we are made in His image? How can we strengthen our faith as we strengthen our bodies? Today we're revisiting an episode with Erin McCole Cupp, author and certified trauma recovery counselor, about aligning our faith with our fitness goals and glorifying God with our bodies.  

Fr. Mike focuses on the book of Tobit today and explains why this beautiful book is missing from non-Catholic Bibles. He dives into the history behind the arrangement of the Bible and why the Catholic Bible includes 73 books. Today's readings are Isaiah 3-4, Tobit 3-4, and Proverbs 9:13-18. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear. Please note: The Bible contains adult themes that may not be suitable for children - parental discretion is advised.

The Catechism wraps up its overview of the Eucharist by reminding us that the sacrament of Holy Communion is a foretaste of what is to come in heaven. Fr. Mike exhorts us to prepare our hearts here on earth so that they might be conformed to God, ready to unite with him forever in heaven. The Eucharist is a most excellent path to such unity. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 1402-1405. 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.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! Mysticism runs deep in the bloodline of sisters Jennifer and Jill, hosts of the Common Mystics podcast. Raised in a home where astrology, spiritual healing, and magick were not only accepted but also embraced, generations of intuitive women shaped their spiritual journeys. Their grandmother, a devout Catholic and practicing medium, walked both paths—invoking saints while channeling spirits. Their mother, an astrologer, reinforced that the mystical and the sacred could coexist. Today, Jennifer works as a Tarot reader and intuitive, while Jill is a psychic medium, energy reader, and life coach. Together, they explore haunted highways and forgotten places, seeking out spirits with stories that have been left untold. In their podcast and new book, Ghosts on the Road: Murder and Mysterious Deaths, the sisters give voice to the voiceless, inviting the dead to share what history has ignored.

Carmen Kelly, affectionately known as the "cleaning angel" of Catholic Spirit Radio, recounts how she came into possession of a life-size damaged statue of Our Lady of Sorrows.

From mysterious origins and unexpected connections to an artistic rebirth, this episode highlights the power of faith and community to bring new life to something once broken.

The sacrament of Holy Communion unites the faithful together in a most profound, visible way. It also makes disunity in the Church all the more painful and apparent. The Catechism reveals the Church's teachings regarding the Eucharist and Christian churches who are not in full communion with the Catholic Church. Fr. Mike addresses a most common and difficult question: “If a non-Catholic believes that the Eucharist is truly Jesus, why can they not receive him in the sacrament?” Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 1396-1401. 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. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/ciy Please note: The Catechism of the Catholic Church contains adult themes that may not be suitable for children - parental discretion is advised.

“Obedience” in marriage is a loaded word—what does it really mean? Are women expected to submit like servants? Is Christian marriage inherently unequal? Or is there something deeper, more beautiful, and profoundly mutual at play?Today I'm joined by Mary Stanford, who has spent her career unpacking this very paradox. How can a woman “submit” as described in Ephesians 5 and still be a full, free, and equal partner in marriage?Mary dives into the God-given differences between men and women—how our bodies and dispositions reflect distinct, complementary gifts—and how this complementarity can lead to deep unity and even fruitfulness, both literally and spiritually.This topic isn't without controversy. The line between holy submission and enabling harmful dynamics is razor thin. Join the conversation in the comments and help us wrestle with one of the most misunderstood teachings in Scripture.Obedience Paradox book: https://www.amazon.com/Obedience-Paradox-Finding-Freedom-Marriage/dp/1681926954Mary's faculty website: https://www.christendom.edu/academics/undergraduate-faculty/mary-stanford/NEW: Join our exclusive Rose Report community! https://lilaroseshow.supercast.com - We'll have BTS footage, ad-free episodes, monthly AMA, and early access to our upcoming guests.A big thanks to our partner, EWTN, the world's leading Catholic network!

Today in the Catholic Mass Series, we explore how the spirit of the liturgy can—and should—extend beyond the walls of the church. Fr. Burfitt joins us to discuss the essential role of para-liturgical devotions: the Rosary, the Little Office, family prayer, and spiritual reading. How can parents train children to participate at Mass? What about single Catholics seeking a deeper connection? We'll also look at the role of meditation, the dangers of emotionalism, and practical ways to “bring the Mass home.” Whether in processions, devotions, or quiet imitation of the saints, true participation continues long after the final blessing.

The main goal of the Society of Saint Pius X is to preserve the Catholic Faith in its fullness and purity, to teach its truths, and to diffuse its virtues, especially through the Roman Catholic priesthood. Authentic spiritual life, the sacraments, and the traditional liturgy are its primary means of bringing this life of grace to souls. Although the traditional Latin Mass is the most visible and public expression of the work of the Society, we are committed to defending Catholic Tradition in its entirety: all of Catholic doctrine and morals as the Church has always defended them. What people need is the Catholic Faith, without compromise, with all the truth and beauty which accompanies it. https://sspx.org

Here’s the scoop from this powerful episode of The Patrick Madrid Show. Patrick gives you a message a lot of us need to hear, even if it stings a little. Meet Delia Delia calls in from L.A.; she’s been living with her boyfriend for over 10 years.They have a child together; he’s helped raise her other kids, but… they’re not married.She’s Catholic, goes to Mass, and she doesn’t receive Communion because she knows something’s not right. Her big question: “Should I go to confession even though I’m still living this way?” Patrick’s Loving (but direct!) Wake-Up Call Patrick’s response was compassionate but crystal clear: "Yes, you need confession... but confession only works if you’re ready to repent." (i.e., change your life). Right now, Delia is living in a state of mortal sin. Why Moving Out Matters Patrick explains: Jesus calls us to radical decisions: “If your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out.”Translation: Cut off anything dragging you away from God. So, What Should Delia Do? Here's Patrick's advice: Pray for courage.Get on your knees before the crucifix and beg Jesus for help. Patrick recommends the "Prayer Before a Crucifix" on the Relevant Radio app. Make the hard break.You don’t have to hate him or abandon him as the father of your child, but you can’t live as husband and wife when you’re not. Then go to confession.But only after you’re ready to leave the sinful situation. Why This Matters Patrick leaves her with this stunning line:“You’re a daughter of the King. You’re royalty. But you’re living in the worst kind of peasant squalor.” Delia (and all of us in sinful situations) are made for more.God isn’t trying to ruin our fun; He’s calling us to freedom, peace, and true love. Real Talk Takeaway: If you’re stuck in a sinful situation and wondering, “Can’t I just go to confession and keep doing this?” ... the hard truth is: NO.Confession without repentance is like trying to shower in a mud pit. Here’s the good news from Patrick:"You’re one good confession away from becoming a saint." Final encouragement from Patrick:Ask Jesus for help. Put first the Kingdom of God, and everything else will be added unto you. (Matthew 6:33)

Patrick explores listener questions prompted by an email on liturgical shifts—why some find deeper connection in traditional Catholic practices, and what’s really at stake when Mass customs change. He fields honest concerns about the experience of Eucharist, gives straight answers on receiving communion, challenges listeners with the "cannibalism" objection, and throws in practical advice for those struggling to defend their faith with confidence. Dave (email) – Can you tell me why there are liturgical changes happening in my diocese? (02:05) Kristy - Can you go to two Masses and receive communion twice in one day? (24:06) Paola – How can I adequately defend my faith? (25:40) Chris - How can I explain the Eucharist to a buddy of mine? He thinks it is cannibalism. (30:11) Angie – Question about the Bread of Life Discourse. (48:15)

Are we properly equipping Christians for the battles ahead, or has the Church become less like a warship and more like a cruiseliner?

Jesus speaks bluntly about the persecutions and struggles his disciples will face, yet he consoles them by saying that the Holy Spirit will direct their words when they are put to the test.

As we finish our journey in 2 Kings and 2 Chronicles, Fr. Mike highlights the Babylonian exile as a critical event in the story of salvation. Although the exile is a dark and devastating part of Israel's history, Fr. Mike reminds us that it's not the end of their story. Today's readings are 2 Kings 25, 2 Chronicles 36, and Proverbs 9:1-6. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear. Please note: The Bible contains adult themes that may not be suitable for children - parental discretion is advised.

As the popular adage goes, “you are what you eat.” The Catechism tells us that, as food nourishes the body, so Jesus present in Holy Communion nourishes the soul. It especially highlights the Eucharist's role in separating us from sin. Fr. Mike reminds us we must be open to change if Jesus is going to change us in the reception of Holy Communion. If—to use Fr. Mike's analogy—Holy Communion is a “shower” of graces, we must ensure that we're not wearing a raincoat. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 1391-1395. 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. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/ciy Please note: The Catechism of the Catholic Church contains adult themes that may not be suitable for children - parental discretion is advised.
