Marlon De La Torre, senior director of Evangelization for the Diocese of Columbus, joins the Son Rise Morning Show to discuss his new book, Teaching Toward Heaven: Unveiling a Symphony of Faith and the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Marlon explains why Catholic education must ultimately be directed toward our eternal destiny—not simply toward changing the culture or winning temporary battles. He discusses the role of parents as the primary educators, the importance of teachers living their faith with conviction, and how the Catechism can become more than a reference book: a tool for prayer, discernment, and growing closer to Christ. As the new school year begins, Marlon challenges Catholic educators, parents, and catechists to ask a fundamental question: Are we truly teaching our children toward heaven?Support the show: https://www.sacredheartradio.com/donate-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Father Christopher Mahar earned a Bachelor of Science in Philosophy from Providence College in 2000 and subsequently completed his Bachelor's degree in Sacred Theology from the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome in 2003. He was ordained a deacon in St. Peter's Basilica in Rome in 2003 and a priest in the Diocese of Providence in 2004. He currently serves as Pastor at St. Augustine Church in Providence, Rhode Island.  In Today's Show: I have heard that tolerance of evil is evil by its nature, because tolerance will eventually silence the good. Is that true? What exactly did Saint Augustine mean when he said: "Make me chaste but not yet"? How does Catholicism distinguish legitimate development of doctrine from simply preserving later traditions because they are old? What may change in the Church, and what may not? Someone at Mass received his host, and also a couple of other hosts and brought them to 2 other people in Mass. Is that okay? And more.

This week on the Son Rise Morning Show, Matt Swaim welcomes Catholic historian Kevin Schmeising, author of A Catholic Pilgrimage Through American History, for a look at two important moments in Catholic history. Kevin recounts how St. Teresa of Avila founded the Convent of St. Joseph in 1562, beginning the reform that would lead to the Discalced Carmelites and inspire the work of St. John of the Cross. He also looks at the Catholic history of Idaho and the establishment of the Diocese of Boise on August 25, 1893, including the work of the Jesuit missionaries who first brought the Catholic faith to the region. From the Catholic Reformation in 16th-century Spain to the growth of the Church in the American West, this episode highlights the people and events that helped shape the Catholic Church in history.Support the show: https://www.sacredheartradio.com/donate-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Father Jonathan Duncan of the Diocese of Charleston joins Matt Swaim to reflect on the readings for the 21st Sunday in Ordinary Time, especially Peter’s confession of Jesus as the Christ and the Son of the living God. Father Jonathan explains why the question “Who is Jesus?” must come before every other theological, moral, or apologetic question. The conversation explores Jesus’ gift of the Church, Peter’s role as the rock, the papacy, and the reality that even those entrusted with leadership can become either “solid rocks” or “stumbling stones.” Ultimately, the discussion returns to the central truth of Christianity: if Jesus is truly Lord, then everything we do matters.Support the show: https://www.sacredheartradio.com/donate-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Full Text of Readings Tuesday of the Twentieth Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 420 The Saint of the day is Saint Louis of Toulouse Saint Louis of Toulouse's Story When he died at the age of 23, Louis was already a Franciscan, a bishop, and a saint! Louis's parents were Charles II of Naples and Sicily, and Mary, daughter of the King of Hungary. Louis was related to Saint Louis IX on his father's side and to Elizabeth of Hungary on his mother's side. Louis of Toulouse of Toulouse showed early signs of attachment to prayer and to the corporal works of mercy. As a child he used to take food from the castle to feed the poor. When he was 14, Louis and two of his brothers were taken as hostages to the king of Aragon's court as part of a political deal involving Louis's father. At the court, Louis was tutored by Franciscan friars under whom he made great progress both in his studies and in the spiritual life. Like Saint Francis he developed a special love for those afflicted with leprosy. While he was still a hostage, Louis decided to renounce his royal title and become a priest. When he was 20, he was allowed to leave the king of Aragon's court. He renounced his title in favor of his brother Robert and was ordained the next year. Very shortly after, he was appointed bishop of Toulouse, but the pope agreed to Louis's request to become a Franciscan first. The Franciscan spirit pervaded Louis. “Jesus Christ is all my riches; he alone is sufficient for me,” Louis kept repeating. Even as a bishop he wore the Franciscan habit and sometimes begged. He assigned a friar to offer him correction—in public if necessary—and the friar did his job. Louis of Toulouse's service to the Diocese of Toulouse was richly blessed. In no time he was considered a saint. Louis set aside 75 percent of his income as bishop to feed the poor and maintain churches. Each day he fed 25 poor people at his table. Louis of Toulouse was canonized in 1317 by Pope John XXII, one of his former teachers. His liturgical feast is celebrated on August 19. Reflection When Cardinal Hugolino, the future Pope Gregory IX, suggested to Francis that some of the friars would make fine bishops, Francis protested that they might lose some of their humility and simplicity if appointed to those positions. Those two virtues are needed everywhere in the Church, and Louis shows us how they can be lived out by bishops.Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

Released on the feast of **Saint John Vianney**, this episode gives Father Boniface Hicks the floor to reflect on the patron saint of parish priests—at a personally meaningful moment, as Father Boniface begins serving in a parish in the Diocese of Pittsburgh. Saint John Vianney was not known as a brilliant academic. He struggled through seminary, lived through the turbulence after the French Revolution, and was assigned to a small parish in Ars. Yet by giving himself completely to the people entrusted to him—especially through confession, preaching, prayer, sacrifice, and pastoral care—he became one of the Church's great models of parish priesthood.Joe Rockey and Father Boniface then move from Saint John Vianney's life into a practical question facing many parishes today: how do we keep the Church from becoming only “maintenance” when it must also be missionary? Father explains that parish life is where the rubber meets the road: baptisms, marriages, funerals, confession, Mass, religious formation, and daily pastoral care. But when those ordinary acts become routine, they can lose intentionality. Saint John Vianney reminds priests—and parishioners—that the ordinary work of the Church becomes holy when it is done with sacrifice, attention, and love.The conversation closes with a concrete challenge for parish life: finances matter, but they are a trailing indicator. The deeper question is whether a parish is alive in mission. A parish can try to survive by asking more from the same people, or it can ask how to bring more families home. The stronger path is not merely “raise more money,” but rebuild the missionary life of the parish—supporting priests, forming people, inviting families, and creating a community where sacrifice makes sense because the Gospel is alive.**Key Ideas*** Saint John Vianney shows that holiness, sacrifice, and pastoral love matter more than brilliance or status.* Parish priests carry the “ordinary” sacramental life of the Church—and that ordinary work must not become dull or careless.* The parish is where the Church's mission becomes concrete: confession, Mass, formation, families, marriages, funerals, and daily care.* Many parishes face a tension between **maintenance** and **mission**; both matter, but mission has to drive the system.* Parish finances are often a trailing indicator of deeper vitality: the real question is whether more people are being brought home.**Links & References**None explicitly referenced with a clear official/source link in this episode.**CTA:** If this helped, please leave a review or share this episode with a friend.Questions or thoughts?

Patrick unpacks the latest diocesan policies on Catholic funerals (eulogies and Church guidance around cremation) while fielding listener questions that wander from Aztec dancers at Mass to deep mysteries of the Trinity and what it means to be a child of God. He shifts from theology to pressing cultural flashpoints, dissecting caller concerns about salvation, the boundaries of Sunday obligation for the homebound, and the disorienting aftermath of pandemic mandates. In the swirl of doctrine, tradition, and current events, Patrick weaves clarity, candor, and unexpected connections. Per Bishop Paprocki, people in the Diocese of Springfield, Illinois, are no longer able to eulogize or speak about their deceased loved ones during Catholic funeral rites (00:33) Louie - Aztec dancers: I had the same reservations that you described about them in Mass.

Full Text of Readings Monday of the Eighteenth Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 407/408 The Saint of the day is Saint Peter Julian Eymard Saint Peter Julian Eymard's Story Born in La Mure d'Isère in southeastern France, Peter Julian's faith journey drew him from being a priest in the Diocese of Grenoble in 1834, to joining the Marists in 1839, to founding the Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament in 1856. In addition to those changes, Peter Julian Eymard coped with poverty, his father's initial opposition to Peter's vocation, serious illness, a Jansenistic overemphasis on sin, and the difficulties of getting diocesan and later papal approval for his new religious community. His years as a Marist, including service as a provincial leader, saw the deepening of his Eucharistic devotion, especially through his preaching of Forty Hours in many parishes. Inspired at first by the idea of reparation for indifference to the Eucharist, Peter Julian Eymard was eventually attracted to a more positive spirituality of Christ-centered love. Members of the men's community which Peter founded alternated between an active apostolic life and contemplating Jesus in the Eucharist. He and Marguerite Guillot founded the women's Congregation of the Servants of the Blessed Sacrament. Peter Julian Eymard was beatified in 1925 and canonized in 1962, one day after Vatican II's first session ended. Reflection In every century, sin has been painfully real in the life of the Church. It is easy to give in to despair, to speak so strongly of human failings that people may forget the immense and self-sacrificing love of Jesus, as his death on the cross and his gift of the Eucharist make evident. Peter Julian Eymard knew that the Eucharist was key to helping Catholics live out their baptism and preach by word and example the Good News of Jesus Christ.Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

Daily Mass Readings and Reflection Daily Mass Readings and reflection for 7/30/26 from Fr Matthew Humerickhouse, a priest from the Diocese of Youngstown, Ohio.

We had a guest walk in with gooey butter bars, so you already know it was a good night. Deacon Michael Halbrook is back, his fourth trip to Tulsa (one more and Dave's putting him in a green jacket), and Lady Pamela's baking came with him. Adam's oldest, Luke, was in studio too, which almost never happens, because mom was away and there were no rules. Luke's been out most nights hunting the raccoon that's been picking off the family chickens. No kill yet. But he knows what he's after now, and that's half the hunt.This week's pour was fitting: Hazel Baker Kentucky Straight Bourbon, six years old, bottled-in-bond at 100 proof, family owned out of Louisville. It came from a barrel the dads at Father McGivney Catholic High School picked out in Kentucky. Full strength, real caramel, nothing watered down.-------------------------------This episode is brought to you by the Amen app from the Augustine Institute, the free app Adam's family uses to pray the Sunday readings on the way to Mass. No paywall, no subscription trap, just Scripture, prayer, and audiobooks like Divine Mercy in My Soul and True Devotion. And by Select International Tours, the group Adam and Dave trust for pilgrimages. Whether you want to lead one or join one, that's who you call.-------------------------------Then it got serious. Michael spent 18 years in corporate tech and walked away from it to build something for the Church. Not on a whim. He built it nights and weekends for years while the paycheck was still coming, took the business plan to his wife and sons like a board of directors, and only leapt when the runway made sense. But the moment that broke him open happened kneeling in the back pew before Mass. He asked our Lord for the certainty he could keep providing for his family, and he heard back, unmistakably: You've never been the one who provided. I've always been the one who provided.That's the whole episode in one line.Bishop Paprocki gave him the order of operations: pray for clarity first, then courage. Most men flip it and go charging into the dark. Michael talks through the discipline of saying no to good things so you can say yes to the right one, and then walks us through what he built, the &Altar app from Domus Formation. One reading, five minutes, a launch pad for your holy hour instead of a replacement for it. Pray, fast, give. A track for every season of life: the man, the woman, the family, the teen, the young adult, the elder.The back half is fatherhood. Michael's second son, Matthew, is at Air Force basic training right now (pray for him), and Michael's living the Establish pillar in real time. Protect and Provide, most of us understand.
