Fr. Elias Mary Mills, F.I. served as Rector of the Shrine Church at the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Lacrosse, Wisconsin from 2016 to 2021. He was ordained in May of 2000. In Today's Show: When would the quality of penance be excessive or lax? What would be useful advice for knowing what penance(s) are apt for someone? What is your take on Catholic AI as a ministerial tool? Should we start a modern crusade by converting AI to Catholicism so that it will then be compelled to convert the whole world? What does this say about the training and prayer lives of most priests if AI does a better job at answering questions about the spiritual life? Our Lady of Fatima told the children that souls would go to Hell for sins of the flesh. Can you please elaborate on that? I'm looking for a recommendation for a good book on the Holy Spirit. Can you help? Why can't any Pope successfully consecrate Russia the way Our Lady requested? If someone is murdered on holy ground and is not a practicing Catholic but overall a good person, do they receive a special grace sparing them from eternal damnation? There seems to be tension between the ascetic demands of traditional Catholicism and the emphasis on emotional well-being in modern psychology. How can we avoid both stoicism and self-indulgence, and where do spiritual direction and therapy intersect responsibly? Do I really have to deny myself of everything in the world just to follow God? I've been reading the works of St. Teresa of Avila and St. John of the Cross. Is it still possible, or even appropriate, for laypeople to aspire to the mystical path in a world so noisy, fast, and disordered? How can we safeguard against deception in this pursuit? I'm a newer convert and I really want to read the Bible more, but it's a bit overwhelming. Where should a Catholic beginner start, and are there any books I should avoid reading out of context? How can a traditional Catholic single person navigate dating when most people, even Catholics, don't seem to share these values?

What if your parish's faith formation is creating consumer Catholics instead of disciples?In this episode of EquipCast, I sit down with my team to unpack what faith formation is really supposed to do—and why so many parishes get stuck. We talk about the difference between just teaching information and actually forming hearts and habits. You'll hear why small groups matter, how to spot a healthy ministry, and what it takes to move people from simply learning their faith to living it—and then going on mission. We talk about launching apostolates, forming others, and becoming the kind of disciples who don't just consume content but live it out with joy and purpose. Plus, we share some honest stories, practical tools (like the Discernment Rosary), and plenty of laughs. If you've ever wondered how to choose the right ministry for your clear path to discipleship—or how to fix the one you've got—this one's for you.

A lot of Catholics know at least a little about the process for those who who wish to be baptized Catholic or come into Full Communion with the Catholic Church. It is a process formerly known as RCIA, but is now OCIA. However, we can all do a little better job of evangelization by inviting people into the process, people we are in relationship with, our friends and family.
Send us a textIn this episode of Frontiers of Faith, Katie Ruvalcaba and Monsignor Roger Landry discuss the significance of having a missionary Pope, the challenges of maintaining human connection in a digital age, and the role of AI in modern communication. They explore the importance of embodiment in human relationships, the epidemic of loneliness exacerbated by technology, and how to engage with those who may not believe in the soul. Monsignor Landry also reflects on the legacy of Fulton J. Sheen and the call for a new generation of missionaries to carry on the work of evangelization.Click here to learn more about supporting the Pontifical Missions Societies:https://pontificalmissions.orgFollow us on socials!https://x.com/tpms_usahttps://www.instagram.com/tpms_us/
In this episode of the Proclaim Podcast, Eric sits down with Deacon Andre Coronado to hear the story of his unexpected and grace-filled journey into the permanent diaconate. From preaching and serving in RCIA, to simply sharing faith in everyday conversations with family and friends, Deacon Dre has found countless ways to proclaim Jesus. He also opens up vulnerably about how formation as a deacon was more than just training for ministry—it was a journey of healing. God gently confronted areas of pride and self-reliance, drawing him into deeper humility and trust. Along the way, there have been surprising moments of joy, unexpected opportunities, and a growing sense of God's faithfulness. If you've ever wondered how God calls ordinary people into extraordinary service, or how grace can transform even the hidden corners of our hearts, you won't want to miss this conversation.

What if the biggest thing holding your parish back isn't a lack of programs—but a lack of missionary disciples? In this episode, I sit down with my team to explore a step in parish life that often gets skipped: evangelization formation. We're talking about the part of discipleship where people go from passive participants to confident, Spirit-led missionaries—and why that shift changes everything. We get honest about what it actually takes to form missionary disciples—not just run more programs. You'll hear real behind-the-scenes stories from parishes on the ground, practical tips that work, and ways they faced the most common roadblocks we see, like fear, self-doubt, or the sense of being alone in mission. We break down evangelization formation into clear, doable steps—like helping people pray out loud, share their story, and discover their charisms. Whether your parish is just starting out or ready to go deeper, this episode will shift how you think about forming people for mission—and give you the tools to start.

By leaving the saving news of the Gospel and the saving power of the sacraments to the Church, Jesus put great things into our hands. The apostolic mission of Christians is an extension of Christ's own love for souls. Apostolate, evangelization, becomes natural when we remember, or realize in a deeper way, just how much Christ means to us.

Fr. Mattingly breaks down today's Gospel, the sending of the 72, and its implications for our role in evangelization.
In this enlightening episode of Father and Joe, hosts Father Boniface and Joe Rockey tackle a common challenge faced in both missionary work and personal faith journeys: effectively communicating the vast benefits of attending Mass. Using the analogy of sales and products with multiple benefits, Joe introduces the idea that one needs to understand the needs of the person they're engaging with to convey the most relevant benefits. Just as eggs can be appreciated for various uses in meals, the benefits of Mass extend far beyond individual understanding, offering a unique and personalized spiritual experience to every attendee.Father Boniface steps in to explain the power of forming meaningful relationships, not just in sales but within the spectrum of evangelization and attending Mass. Our episode explores the concept of 'accompaniment,' where personal interaction and understanding play critical roles in spiritual guidance and evangelization. This approach helps parishioners form a deeper connection with the Mass, experiencing its full benefits uniquely tailored to their life stage and personal circumstances.We delve into the importance of fostering interior participation in Mass, where silence plays a crucial role. Father Boniface introduces practical ways to connect deeply with the Mass's proceedings, which is essential for transforming a routine obligation into an enriching personal journey filled with discovery and purpose.Additionally, we discuss overcoming the initial sensations of social awkwardness that some might feel when attending Mass, focusing on how to transition from merely going through the motions to actively engaging in a way that reveals Mass's transformative power. Discover how Mass is not just a weekly obligation but a profound means of receiving guidance, healing, and purpose throughout life's fluctuations.Join us as we explore creating moments in Mass that lead to spiritual growth by aligning personal experiences with the spiritual community and the central purpose of the Eucharist.
