Drawing on insights from Cardinal Burke, Father Charles Murr, and testimonies from those close to Cardinal Ratzinger, John-Henry Westen and Dr. Maike Hickson revisit the long-disputed Third Secret of Fatima, questioning whether the Vatican's 2000 disclosure revealed the full message. Dr. Hickson links the Fatima message to Vatican II, post-conciliar turmoil, and today's decline in Eucharistic belief, stressing that Heaven's requests, the Five First Saturdays devotion, and the precise consecration of Russia, remain incomplete. Far from a past relic, Fatima stands as a living prophetic call, urging Catholics to respond before the warnings are fully realized.Sign up for the 1st Saturday Devotion Series: https://www.lifesitenews.com/opinion/100-years-ago-our-lady-made-this-request-time-to-start-now/U.S. residents!

“How do we know Jesus’ authority endures today?” This episode explores the transmission of authority from the apostles to future generations, while also addressing intriguing questions about Eucharistic miracles and whether they imply cannibalism, the nature of demons, and the Church’s teaching on predestination.

Patrick fields listener questions about unexpectedly becoming Catholic, what to do with a discovered Eucharistic host, and how to respond when approached by Mormon missionaries, all while weaving in lively banter. He addresses real-life conundrums like working on Sundays or on holy days and explains with clarity why Catholic parishes once allowed the Mormon Church to microfilm their centuries-old records. With humor, frankness, and the occasional surprising detour, Patrick offers thoughtful guidance on living out Catholic faith in the everyday messiness of life.

Join us in this reverent exploration of the timeless Catholic prayer Agnus Dei, the "Lamb of God" invoked at every Mass. Rooted in John the Baptist's proclamation and enriched by centuries of tradition, this short yet profound prayer draws us into the heart of the Eucharistic mystery: Christ as the sacrificial Lamb who takes away the sins of the world. In this episode, we uncover its scriptural foundations, historical origins under Pope Sergius I, and theological depth as we walk through the Latin line by line.

Full Text of ReadingsEighteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 114The Saint of the day is Saint Peter Julian EymardSaint 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 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 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 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

***BONUS Meditation Hymn at the end from St. Mary's beautiful choir***In every age, man is tempted to believe that the world is enough. He builds cities of glass and steel, sculpts gods in his own image, and fills his days with noise and novelty—yet his soul remains restless. As Saint Augustine so rightly said famously, our hearts are restless until they rest in Thee. He walked in the barren desert of lavish imperial courts and indulged in the finest wines of ancient Rome and found it wanting. To live for this world alone is to walk in a beautiful prison: adorned, yes—but still a cage.The Christian life begins with a startling reversal. It tells us not merely to look forward, or even inward, but upward. Sursum corda—lift up your hearts! This call that we say during the Eucharistic prayer, echoing through every Mass, is no poetic flourish. It is a scream and a command from above that we are meant for more. It is the very axis upon which the soul must turn if it is to be free. Does not every human heart desire frustratingly more? Our Lord this Sunday in the Gospel Reading is crystal clear: “Take care to guard against all greed, for though one may be rich, one's life does not consist of possessions.” (Cf. Luke 12:15). Does this not ring true? How fresh to hear this teaching from the lips of Jesus, compared to the putrid air that we've all been forced to breathe. For heaven is not a sentimental escape from earth—it is the meaning of earth. To aim for heaven is not to despise the world, but to see it rightly. A man who knows the stars walks straighter on the road. Indeed, it is only by contemplating eternity that we begin to understand time.The great English convert from atheism to Catholicism, G.K. Chesterton, with his usual cheerful thunder, reminds us that the saints are not the ones who escape reality, but the ones who embrace it with such vigor that they can laugh even at death. They have chosen the one thing that cannot be shaken—the eternal love of God. That my friends, is why we are created, why we come to Mass, and why we worship Jesus Christ. And so, we must ask: Where is our treasure? If it is buried in the shifting sands of fashion, fortune, or fleeting pleasure, we shall be buried with it. But if it is anchored in Christ—who is seated at the right hand of the Father—then we are already rising, even now.Let the world chatter; let it parade its vanities, for as we heard in the first reading today, "vanity of vanities! All things are vanity! … For what profit comes to man from all the toil and anxiety of heart with which he has labored under the sun? All his days, sorrow and grief are his occupation; even at night his mind is not at rest.” (Cf. Ecclesiastes 2:22). We are called higher! The Christian smiles, not in scorn, but in serene defiance—for his eyes are fixed on something greater. We are not made for dust, but for glory. Heaven is not far—it is our home. We must not forget it. --- Help Spread the Good News --- Father Brian's homilies are shared freely thanks to generous listeners like you.

A listener named Brittany asks Father Dave about the Eucharistic Prayer. She wonders, “Is there an easy way to know what Eucharist Prayer is going to be used at Saturday night or Sunday Mass? I like to follow along in a prayer book throughout Mass, and I have a hard time at this point figuring out which prayer is being read.”

This week, Ralph shares some recent personal experiences that made him ask the question, “Who Will Remember Us?” He recounts how people who once were well known by many of us are being forgotten, how sometimes as the generations pass children or grandchildren forget who has sacrificed for them in the generations before. As he recounts these examples, his hope and joy in Christ rises and he remembers what God has said and how true it is: “I have engraved you on the palms of my hand” (Is. 49:16) and “Even if a mother could forget her child, I will never forget you” (Is. 49:15). And how God's “memory” is actually eternal life and love, for all of us who die in him.

“Don't be afraid of your heart—God's working there.” Fr. Colin Fricke joins Men of the Hearts podcast hosts Fr. Craig Giera and Fr. Drew Mabee to share how he discerned his call to the priesthood through the grace of the sacraments, unexpected encouragement from the Archbishop of Detroit, and appreciating the joys of everyday life. He reflects on how these blessings and more helped him grow in confidence and freedom, ultimately leading him to say “yes” to God's call.(0:25) Fr. Craig and Fr. Drew kick off the episode with a joyful welcome to Fr. Colin Fricke, a priest of the Archdiocese of Detroit who serves at St. Anastasia. The trio swaps stories about recent summer activities, including fireworks, parish life, and addressing the ongoing need for vocations in the Archdiocese of Detroit.(1:24) Fr. Colin shares how he celebrated the 4th of July with his family in Grand Rapids, where he enjoyed fireworks, sparklers, and wiffle ball with his nieces and nephews. He talks about the blessing of spending time with loved ones and witnessing their joy. He then talks about the joy he finds in playing volleyball, which leads to a discussion about how simple passions like sports can become powerful tools for evangelization.(8:34) Fr. Colin begins his vocation story by recalling the moment he watched a priest elevate the Eucharist at Mass and thought to himself, “I want the big Eucharist.” At the time, he didn't fully understand what that meant, but looking back, he recognizes it as one of the first seeds of his vocation to the priesthood. He then talks about growing up in Grosse Pointe, attending Mass regularly, and being inspired at his Confirmation to start reading the Bible. (16:00) Fr. Colin describes himself in high school as reserved and uncertain about his identity. In college, he began going to confession more regularly and discovered healing through that sacrament. While studying at Siena Heights University to become a teacher, Fr. Colin became involved in campus ministry, where others would occasionally suggest that he consider the priesthood. One day, while walking up the stairs to his dorm, he interiorly heard, “You should be a priest,” a moment that reignited the call he had sensed as a child.(22:00) After college, Fr. Colin began teaching in Catholic schools. He reflects on how the experience gave him a front-row seat to the joy of children, a gift that helped him understand how God sees us and invites us to be ourselves. As he continued teaching, Fr. Colin began reading St. John Paul II's Theology of the Body, where he learned about authentic love, the beauty of the human person, and the gift of masculinity in service to others.(34:00) Fr. Colin started spending more time in Eucharistic adoration, especially at Our Lady Star of the Sea Parish, where he encountered a faithful group of praying mothers who encouraged him. He also received encouragement from an unexpected source: The Archbishop of Detroit, after visiting Fr. Colin's school, sent the young man a personal letter encouraging him to consider the priesthood.(38:30) Father Colin entered seminary in 2014, joining a class of men that included many of his friends today. Seminary was both a confirmation of his call and a time of deep personal growth. He learned to be more emotionally honest, to recognize and process his anger, and to live with greater freedom. He offers his advice to young men discerning and closes the episode with prayer.

7/30/25 - St. Anna Schäffer, born in 1882 in Bavaria, dreamed of becoming a missionary, but her plans changed forever after a work-related accident at age 18 left her bedridden for the rest of her life. Suffering from painful, incurable wounds and paralysis, Anna transformed her bed into a place of spiritual mission, offering her intense physical pain in union with Christ's Passion for the conversion of sinners and the souls in purgatory. Despite her suffering, she radiated peace and joy, received mystical visions, and became a source of comfort for countless people who sought her prayers and counsel. She wrote over 2,000 letters, many filled with spiritual wisdom, and lived a life of profound Eucharistic devotion. Canonized by Pope Benedict XVI in 2012, St. Anna's life is a powerful testament to redemptive suffering and unshakable faith amidst trials.

This week, John welcomes Catholic evangelist John Sablan for a powerful conversation about healing, discipleship, and what it truly means to live a Christlike life. Sablan shares his personal journey from a wounded and rebellious past to a life on fire for the Lord, revealing how the love of God—and hours spent in Eucharistic adoration—radically transformed him as a husband, father, and man. Together, he and Edwards discuss the difference between going to church and becoming a disciple, and how every man is called to a life of holiness, no matter his story. If you've ever felt unworthy, stuck in sin, or unsure where to begin, this episode is for you. God is not looking for perfection—He's after your heart.

Today's Topics: 1, 2, 3, 4) Father Charles Murr joins Terry Gospel - Matthew 13:1-9 - On that day, Jesus went out of the house and sat down by the sea. Such large crowds gathered around Him that He got into a boat and sat down, and the whole crowd stood along the shore. And He spoke to them at length in parables, saying: “A sower went out to sow. And as he sowed, some seed fell on the path, and birds came and ate it up Some fell on rocky ground, where it had little soil. It sprang up at once because the soil was not deep, and when the sun rose it was scorched, and it withered for lack of roots. Some seed fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it. But some seed fell on rich soil, and produced fruit, a hundred or sixty or thirtyfold. Whoever has ears ought to hear.” Memorial of Saint Bridget of Sweden, Religious Saint Bridget, pray for us! Bishop Sheen quote of the day

Patrick moves straight into a discussion about unconventional practices at Eucharistic adoration, insisting on reverence and tradition. He fields heartfelt listener questions about mystical dreams, the relationship between God’s providence and free will, the role of prayer when God already knows everything, and how to respond to troubling news like the church strike in Gaza, while mixing in advice about personal boundaries, parish relationships, and the current state of the Jesuits. Trish (email) - Our pastor hosts Praise and Worship services which have praise and worship music. He then has Eucharistic Adoration during this service. Music is being played and he allows the people to touch the monstrance and sit or lay in front of it which has been brought down off the altar to a small table. Is he wrong to do this? (01:51) Emily (email) - I had a dream/vision where I saw Jesus. Was this actually Jesus or not? (05:33) John - Is there such a thing as predestination or can prayer change the outcome of the path that the world is on? (10:18) Gaza's Catholic Church has been hit by Israel missiles (20:45) Peggy - How is it that God has a plan and that I have free will? These seem to contradict each other. (23:40) Delores - How can I go about being respectful to someone after having a bad interaction with them at Church? (38:05) Chris - How do you feel about the Jesuits and their teachings? (46:11)

Patrick fields concerns about affording Catholic school, whether papal visits carry hidden costs, even the morality of war—never shying away from callers wrestling with their family’s reactions to Catholic teaching. In the mix: humor, candid advice, and a refusal to gloss over the tough stuff. Simone (email) - I saw a timely meme yesterday......it shows Jesus saying, "Love your neighbor as yourself," and somebody saying to Jesus, "But, who is my neighbor?" And Jesus responds with "Whoever you were hoping I wouldn't say." (03:41) Mary (email) – Can a priest add a Hail Mary after the Mass is over? (07:30) Vinny - I was the last person in the Communion line. I tried to receive on my tongue. The Eucharistic minister said, 'Can I please put this in your hand?' (13:00) John – There are 4 Eucharistic prayers available at Mass. (22:38) Victoria (email) - My husband refuses to send kids to catholic school due to cost. I’m desperate and don’t want my kids to continue in public school. Any recommendations if home schooling is an option. (25:09) Maura (email) - Does the Pope usually only visit countries that pay millions for his visit? How does the Pope decide which countries to visit? (28:17) Lucia (email) - I know that killing people is a sin. But, how about when you are in the military fighting in war, would that be a sin? (36:25) Jan - Receiving Communion on the tongue: shouldn't Eucharistic Ministers have a program to show them how to administer the Eucharist? (43:59) Preston - I am a Protestant looking into Catholicism. Catholics on the Walk to Mary told me that I have to be clean before I go to Mass. Is that correct? Are Catholics elitist? (47:50)

Dom dives headfirst into the mystery and reality of the Holy Eucharist, the beating heart of our faith—and the battleground Satan most wants to desecrate.

Can someone with a water allergy be baptized? Why do priests receive both species of the Eucharist while the laity often don't? In this episode of Catholic Answers Live, we take on some of the most thought-provoking questions about Catholic doctrine and tradition. Topics include evangelizing Jewish people, the theological necessity of Marian dogmas, recognizing divine inspiration in Scripture, and reconciling the joy of heaven with the loss of loved ones. We also address questions about God's providence versus coincidence, and near-death experiences involving deceased relatives. Whether you’re exploring Catholic teachings or deepening your faith, this Q&A offers clear, faithful answers rooted in Church teaching. Ideal for those curious about baptism, Eucharistic theology, salvation, and how Catholics understand prophecy and the afterlife. Join The CA Live Club Newsletter: Click Here Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 02:10 – How would the Church baptize someone with a topical allergy to water, where contact with water causes hives but drinking it is fine? 08:15 – Did the Old Testament prophets know they were prophets? Did the New Testament writers know they were divinely inspired when writing? 18:22 – How can heaven be a place of perfect joy if a loved one, such as a child, does not attain eternal life? Wouldn't we notice their absence and grieve? 22:15 – What is the Church's current teaching on evangelizing Jewish people? Does God's promise of the land to the Jewish people still apply under the New Covenant? 29:45 – Why is the Eucharistic cup often withheld from the laity? Jesus instructed us to eat His body and drink His blood. If the host contains both, why does the priest still consume both species separately? 34:58 – Why are the dogmas of the Immaculate Conception, Bodily Assumption, and Perpetual Virginity necessary for salvation from a theological standpoint? What core gospel truths are denied if these are rejected? 43:43 – If someone nearing death sees and speaks to deceased family members, does that mean those individuals are in Heaven or could they still be in Purgatory? What if certain people don't appear—does that imply anything about their final destination? 50:01 – Is everything part of God's plan, or do coincidences exist?

Is receiving Communion in the hand irreverent? Or could it be… bridal?In this video, we explore the mystical and biblical beauty of receiving the Eucharist in the hand—through the lens of saints, Scripture, and the Song of Songs. Drawing from the writings of St. Cyril of Jerusalem, Catherine of Siena, and the tradition of Eucharistic mysticism, we look at how the hand can become an altar, a place of trembling love, a site of encounter with Christ.This is not a debate—but a love story between the soul and the Savior. Whether you receive on the tongue or in the hand, this reflection is for those who desire deeper Eucharistic reverence, rooted in intimacy.We'll talk about:Ancient Church tradition on Communion in the handMisconceptions about consecrated handsBiblical verses on the hand as a place of divine encounterBridal imagery in the Song of SongsMystical theology and Catholic Eucharistic devotion

As Pope Leo XIV completes his first two months on the Chair of Peter, Catholics worldwide are carefully watching for signs of where this pontificate might lead. In this wide-ranging conversation with Crisis Magazine editor Eric Sammons, we explore the subtle but significant shifts already visible in Rome.Following years of controversy and division under Pope Francis, Leo's relatively "boring" papacy has provided a welcome reprieve for many Catholics. While maintaining certain elements of his predecessor's messaging around synodality, Leo has simultaneously embraced traditional forms of Catholic piety that had been marginalized in recent years. His use of Latin in prayer, participation in Eucharistic processions, and embrace of traditional vestments represent meaningful departures from the previous pontificate, sending important signals to faithful Catholics worldwide.The conversation takes a fascinating turn as we discuss Diane Montagna's bombshell reporting confirming what many had suspected – that Traditionis Custodes, Francis's controversial restriction on the Latin Mass, was built on misrepresented data. The document claimed widespread episcopal support for restrictions that simply didn't exist, raising profound questions about trust and transparency that the new pontificate must now navigate.Beyond papal politics, we dive into generational dynamics within Church leadership, with many "boomer" bishops maintaining an emotional attachment to Vatican II that younger clergy don't necessarily share. This generational transition promises to reshape Catholic identity in the coming decades as a new wave of leadership emerges.Whether you're deeply invested in these ecclesiastical questions or simply curious about where Catholicism is headed, this conversation offers valuable perspective on finding balance amid transition.

Homily - Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ - Eucharistic Typology

Melchizedek, the King and Priest of Salem: His was a foreshadowing of a Eucharistic Priesthood, having offered bread and wine to Abram (Psalm 110:4), The Jewish Passover: Involving the Paschal Lamb - This was a prefigurement of the Eucharistic Sacrifice (Exodus 12:7, 11, 13) and The Manna in the Desert: This was a prefigurement of the Eucharist, the New Manna (Exodus 16:4) are only some of the Eucharistic references in today's Open Line Tuesday with Fr. Wade Menezes.

Friends of the Rosary,Today is the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ, also known as Corpus Christi, when we commemorate the institution of the Eucharistic sacrament and celebrate our faith in the Eucharist.Saint John Paul II reminded us, “the Church solemnly bears in procession the Eucharist, publicly proclaiming that the sacrifice of Christ is for the salvation of the whole world.”The Eucharist gives us confidence that Christ abides with us through all the sorrows of our life, sanctifying us and leading us to his presence in heaven.J.R.R. Tolkien wrote, “Out of the darkness of my life, I put before you the one great thing to love on earth: the Blessed Sacrament. There you will find romance, glory, honor, fidelity, and the true way of all your loves on earth.”Today's Solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ reflects the devotional movement on the Sacrament of the Altar. It's also a doctrinal response to heretical teaching on the mystery of the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist. It was extended to the entire Latin Church by Urban IV in 1264.In the main reading of the Gospel (Luke 9:11b–17), Christ Jesus miraculously feeds a crowd of five thousand with loaves and dried fish. He makes a meal that satisfies and gives sustenance for the day to this enormous group of tired and hungry people.Thomas Aquinas explained that the great metaphor for the Eucharist is sustenance, daily food for the journey.As the body needs physical nourishment to get us through the day-to-day,  the spirit needs spiritual nourishment.In our spiritual life, we must eat and drink, or we will not have strength.Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!
