Bishop Gruss explains devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and connects the upcoming consecration of the U.S. and the Diocese of Saginaw to the Sacred Heart with the nation's need for healing. Bishop Gruss emphasizes how Christ's love is the antidote for wounds, division and anxiety.

Behüte dich GottBruno Rainer, Geschäftsleiter, Reformierte Kirchgemeinde Worb«Bhüet di Gott» – ein alter Gruss, den man heute nur noch selten hört. Doch was bedeutet er eigentlich? Bruno Rainer geht dieser Frage nach und entdeckt darin eine tiefe Lebensweisheit. Gottes Schutz bedeutet nicht, dass uns nie etwas Schwieriges begegnet oder dass wir vor allen Problemen bewahrt bleiben. Vielmehr schenkt er Kraft, Halt und Hoffnung, wenn das Leben anders verläuft als geplant. Gerade in Krisen, Enttäuschungen und schweren Zeiten kann Neues entstehen, das wir vorher nicht sehen konnten. Dabei erinnert Bruno Rainer auch an den Vatertag und an die Dankbarkeit für seine beiden Töchter, die für ihn das grösste Geschenk sind. «Bhüet di Gott» wird so zu einem Wunsch, dass wir das Leben mit Zuversicht annehmen und die Menschen wertschätzen, die uns anvertraut sind.Spendenaufruf:Das Wort zum Tag begleitet täglich Menschen mit Gedanken, die Mut machen, Hoffnung schenken und zum Nachdenken anregen.

During the First Friday gathering in Saginaw on May 1, Bishop Gruss quoted Pope Francis and reminded listeners that every baptized person is called to be a missionary disciple.“A missionary disciple is someone who knows Jesus personally, loves Him deeply, follows Him faithfully, and shares Him boldly,” he said in his talk. (View the video below or watch it HERE.)He stressed that evangelization is not about having all the answers, but about sharing one's encounter with Christ.“A witness is someone who says, ‘I have met the Lord and He has changed my life,'” Bishop Gruss said.Bishop Gruss reflected on the Sacrament of Confirmation and missionary discipleship, and encouraged Catholics to rediscover the power of the Holy Spirit already at work within them through the Sacraments. He emphasized that Confirmation is inseparable from missionary discipleship. “The Spirit was poured upon the Church for one reason,” he said. “To evangelize.”“Wake Up the Sleeping Giant”Bishop Gruss encouraged Catholics to develop a personal relationship with the Holy Spirit and rely less on self-sufficiency. “The Holy Spirit is already in you,” he said. “But perhaps He's dormant. Wake up the sleeping giant in your life. You have everything you need to live as a disciple of Jesus in the world today.”First Friday attendees were encouraged to pray simple prayers each day asking the Holy Spirit to become more active in their lives.He also encouraged young people preparing for Confirmation to approach the Sacrament with openness and courage. The Sacrament of Confirmation is meant to be a life-changing moment in one's life and call to discipleship, as it was for the disciples of the early church."“Don't be afraid to live an extraordinary life in Christ,” he said. “Christ is calling all of us to be saints.”Speaking during the Diocese's confirmation season, Bishop Gruss reflected on visiting parishes across the Diocese to celebrate Confirmation with young people. “Confirmation is not an ending. It doesn't complete anything. It's a beginning,” Bishop Gruss said.He explained that Catholics often reduce the Sacraments to events they attend rather than encounters with Jesus Christ himself. “When we look at the Sacramental life merely as events, then we have diminished them by 99.9%,” he said.Instead of saying, “I'm going to Mass,” Bishop Gruss suggested Catholics think differently: “I'm going for an encounter with the risen Lord Jesus.”Jesus Is the One Who ConfirmsBishop Gruss reminded attendees that Jesus himself is the minister of every Sacrament. “Jesus baptized you. He confirmed you. He gave himself to you in Holy Communion,” he said. “In the Sacrament of Confirmation, he uses my thumb.”Reflecting on his own Confirmation and Baptism dates, Bishop Gruss encouraged Catholics to learn and celebrate those dates as important milestones in their lives of faith. “These are two of the most important dates,” he said, “more important than your birthday.”He urged Catholics to contact the parish where they were baptized to obtain their Sacramental records and reflect more intentionally on those moments of grace.Confirmation and the Holy SpiritDrawing from the Acts of the Apostles, Bishop Gruss compared Confirmation to the transformation experienced by the apostles at Pentecost. Before receiving the Holy Spirit, the apostles hid in fear. Afterward, they boldly proclaimed the Gospel.“Peter went from fear and denial of Jesus to being a strong, faithful witness of the Gospel,” Bishop Gruss said. “Everything changed.”"That same Holy Spirit is given to the disciples is given to each person in the Sacrament of Confirmation, not diminished in any way. This is why it should be a profound life-changing experience."Bishop Gruss encouraged Catholics to ask the Lord to “bring alive the grace” of Confirmation again in their lives.“The Spirit is never dead,” he said. “Ask the Holy Spirit to ignite your faith.”

Earlier this year, Bishop Robert Gruss shared a talk about purgatory at St. Francis of Assisi Parish in Saginaw. He invited those gathered to reflect deeply on God's mercy, holiness and eternal life promised through Jesus. "You never know the day nor the time," Bishop Gruss told those in attendance. "We always have to be prepared." The evening began with prayer as Bishop Gruss asked the Holy Spirit to open hearts and minds to receive what God wanted to reveal through the discussion. Understanding purgatory Throughout the presentation, Bishop Gruss emphasized that purgatory is often misunderstood. While many people think of purgatory as a physical place, he explained that the Church teaches it is better understood as a process of purification. "Purgatory is not a place," Bishop Gruss said. "It is a condition of existence." Quoting St. John Paul II and the Catechism of the Catholic Church, Bishop Gruss explained that purgatory comes from the Latin word purgare, meaning "to make clean" or "to purify." He pointed to paragraphs 1030 and 1031 of the Catechism, which describe purgatory as the purification of souls who die in God's grace and friendship but are still imperfectly purified before entering heaven. "Nothing unclean will enter the presence of God in heaven," Bishop Gruss said, referencing the Book of Revelation (Chapter 21, Verse 27). Because of this, every soul must be fully purified before experiencing what the Church calls the beatific vision — seeing God face-to-face in His glory. God's mercy and purification Bishop Gruss explained that after death, every person undergoes what the Church calls a particular judgment, where the soul immediately understands its eternal destiny. "There are only two choices," he said. "Heaven and hell." However, Bishop Gruss reminded those gathered that purgatory is not separate from salvation. Rather, it is part of God's mercy for souls destined for heaven. "If you're experiencing purgatory, you're in [going to Heaven]," he said. "There's no turning back the other way." The bishop emphasized that most people die in what he called an "imperfect state of grace," still carrying attachments to sin, selfishness or worldly desires. He encouraged frequent confession and honest examination of conscience, asking participants to reflect on the areas of their lives that still need healing and conversion. "People die with unforgiveness in their soul," he said. "People die with attachment to jealousy or envy or lust or hatred." Yet the message of the evening was ultimately one of hope. "The beautiful thing about purgatory," Bishop Gruss said, "is that it exists as a result of God's mercy and His love and His desire for you and for me to be with Him for all eternity." Created for love At several points during the talk, Bishop Gruss reminded listeners that the Christian life is deeply personal because every person was created intentionally by God. He encouraged those present to prepare their hearts for eternal life through prayer, repentance and trust in God's mercy. The evening concluded with a renewed invitation to holiness and deeper conversion, reminding the faithful that God's desire is always to bring His people into the fullness of His presence. "Purgatory is meant to purify us so that we can love as completely as God," Bishop Gruss said.

Bishop Gruss announced a major moment for our local Church: a Year of the Holy Spirit beginning on the Solemnity of Pentecost, May 24, 2026, through Pentecost 2027.

Sina feiert einen runden Geburtstag und To Athena besticht im Live-Konzert. Ausserdem zeigen Gabriel Benedek, Nickless, Two & The Sun und Elena Flury, wie lebendig die CH-Musikszene ist. Sie ist seit Jahrzehnten ein fixer und wichtiger Bestandteil der Schweizer Mundartszene und nicht aus dieser wegzudenken. Darum schicken wir im Swissmade einen herzlichen Gruss zum 60. Lebensjahr Richtung Wallis. Alles Gute Sina, du Charmebolzen du! Der Basler Gabriel Benedek ist zwar bereits Vater und trotzdem wirkt er auf der Bühne mit seiner verschmitzen Art wie ein grosser Bub, der neugierig die Welt entdeckt. In seinem neuen Song «Bermuda» lotet der 33-Jährige leichtfüssig das Spannungsfeld zwischen Nähe und Unsicherheit aus. Dass ihn beim Praktikum in London alle «Nickless» riefen, hat dem Zürcher Nicola Kneringer seinen Künstlernamen beschert. Auf seinem neuen Album «Cars And Things That Go» liefert Nickless schimmernden und tanzbaren Syntie-Pop. Wer die 80er-Jahre mochte, mag auch Nickless. Das Pop-Duo Two & The Sun aus Winterthur musiziert nicht nur zusammen, sondern ist auch verheiratet. Mit ihrem neuen Song «So wie dä» liefern die beiden den perfekten Soundtrack für einen Sommertag am See. «Have I Lost My Magic?» fragt To Athena auf ihrem neuen Album. Antwort: Nein, die Luzernerin hat ganz eindeutig nicht an Zauber eingebüsst. Das beweist sie bei einem Live-Auftritt im SRF-Studio. Wir sind verliebt. Anfang Jahr war Elena Flury noch als Heidi im Kinofilm «Ewigi Liebi» zu sehen. Nun ist ihre neue Single «Intervention» erschienen - eine wunderbar warme Indiepop-Nummer.

A Mountain Of Beans by Samson Gruss https://www.amazon.com/Mountain-Beans-Samson-Gruss/dp/B0CZM97ZNY A magnetic polar reversal has left a gaping hole in the earth’s protective magnetosphere, and harmful electromagnetic radiation from the sun has stricken the unprotected earth. All electronics, including electronics on cars and trucks, have been fried. Even transformers on power lines and batteries have been disabled. All traffic on the freeway has come to a rolling stop. Pete, a trucker, is sitting on the freeway stopped, along with dozens of cars and other trucks. There is no way to know how big the affected area is-could be the size of a small city or county or could be half the planet facing the sun. There is no way to know and no way to find out. Pete, an atheist, meets another trucker, John, a humble Christian family man. John’s truck is loaded with canned beans, which gives them a food source. But there are dozens of other cars and trucks in the vicinity, and Pete and John know they cannot feed that many people for very long. Help may not come for days or weeks-may not come at all. What do they do? Do they hoard the food, or do they pass it out to as many people as possible for as long as possible? Does help reach them in time? Do they survive?

Recent research is challenging the widely held belief that prussic acid breaks down in hay. Dr. Gruss from Iowa State discusses the data and gives principles to address this risk.

Der Abstiegskampf ist entschieden und der FC Winterthur wird sich aus der Super League verabschieden. Der FCW hat das wichtige Spiel gegen den Grasshopper Club 0:2 verloren – und das lag wirklich nicht am Schiedsrichter. Der Tabellenletzte war nicht bereit, während GC tief in die Motivations-Trickkiste gegriffen hat: Mit einem neuen Vertrag für Captain Amir Abrashi und der Trennung von Chief Business Officer Christoph Urech. Mario Frick hat sein vorerst letztes Spiel gegen den Lieblingsrivalen aus St. Gallen erlebt – aber natürlich nicht, ohne vorher noch einen Gruss in die Ostschweiz zu schicken. Die Stürmersituation bei den Young Boys wird mit jeder Woche bizarrer. Der FC Zürich lässt sich erneut auskontern. Und beim FC Basel sorgt ein Brand im Stadion dafür, dass der Club derzeit noch nicht weiss, wie er die nächsten Heimspiele austragen soll. Das alles und noch mehr in der 338.

COPYRIGHT NDR Live, off-air, two-hour recording of the special annual Gruss an Bord program from German broadcaster NDR, Norddeutscher Rundfunk, on 24 December 2025. Gruss an Bord features music and greetings to and from mariners around the world. The Christmas greetings were recorded at an event in Hamburg.Relatives and friends had the opportunity to wish their loved ones at sea a happy holiday and a happy new year. The Hamburg event was recorded on the third Sunday of Advent, 14 December, in the Duckdalben International Seamen's Club and was hosted by Susanne Stichler. The program included a number of special guests including Bishop Kirsten Fehrs; Hamburg's Senator for Economic Affairs, Melanie Leonhard; the Federal Government's Maritime Coordinator, Christoph Ploß; and Vice Admiral Axel Deertz. Music was provided by the folk music duo of Frank Grischek and Ralf Lübke. The broadcast was primarily in German, however there were several minutes in English when Filipino seamen were interviewed and some of the songs had English lyrics.In addition to being carried on the NDR Info and NDR Info Spezial networks, the broadcast was transmitted around the world on shortwave using transmitters at Nauen, Germany; Issoudun, France; Tashkent, Uzbekistan; and Okeechobee, Florida, U.S.A.; and was organized by Media Broadcast.The scheduled frequencies (kHz) were: 6030 (via Issoudun) for the Northeast Atlantic, 6080 (via Tashkent) for Europe, 9635 (via Nauen) for the Indian Ocean, 11650 (via Issoudun) for the Atlantic and Indian Oceans, 13830 (via Nauen) for the Southern Atlantic, and 15770 (via Okeechobee) for the Northwest AtlanticMonitors reported that the program did not air on 9635 or 11650 kHz.This recording was made in Hanwell (just outside Fredericton), New Brunswick, Canada. It is of the transmission on the frequency of 15770 kHz for the full two hours.The recording was made primarily using a Belka-DX receiver in pseudo-synchronous (AM2) mode with a bandwidth of 50 Hz - 2.7 kHz outdoors with a Tecsun AN-03L 7-metre wire antenna Reception was quite good for the most part with a bit of fading at times. But that receiver was initially tuned to 13830 kHz with a weaker signal. However, 15770 kHz was being recorded simultaneously with a KiwiSDR 2 software-defined radio receiver in narrow AM (AMN) mode with noise cancelling and with a W6LVP indoor magnetic loop antenna. So, the recording here has about a 4-1/2-minute splice from the KiwiSDR receiver at the beginning with the remainder of the recording from the Belka-DX receiver. A few seconds of the end of the program are missing as WRMI cut over to other programming before the complete end of the program.

What does it really mean to own a song? In this episode of Duologue, Leslie sits down with Josh Gruss, founder and CEO of Round Hill Music, to explore the hidden business behind the songs we love. From Nashville songwriting rooms to global music catalogs, Josh breaks down how songs are created, who owns them, and how royalties actually work. They discuss the difference between songwriters and artists, why publishing rights matter, and how iconic songs can generate value for decades. The conversation also unpacks high-profile ownership disputes, including Taylor Swift's rerecordings, and explains why music publishing is often described as the “real estate” of the music industry. Along the way, Josh shares his unconventional career path from finance to founding one of the world's leading music publishing companies — and why great songs tend to stand the test of time.Hosted on Ausha.

Bishop Robert Gruss, known for his insightful and compassionate leadership in the Catholic Diocese of Saginaw, recently appeared on WSGW for a Christmas Eve interview. He shared his thoughts and reflections on the holiday season while talking to longtime friend and host, Art Lewis.Bishop Gruss emphasized the importance of unity and love, encouraging listeners to embrace the spirit of Christmas by reaching out to those in need and fostering a sense of community. He also discussed the resurgence of faith in the Catholic Church, and the personal nature of Christmas. He reflects on the challenges faced by the church in a secular world, the importance of vocations, and his experience meeting the Pope. The discussion emphasizes the need for a deeper understanding of faith and the transformative power of Jesus' message during the holiday season. 

Bishop Gruss: When we wait on God, we open ourselves up to a deeper intimacy with Him, even in the midst of uncertainty.You can view previous reflections here: https://saginaw.org/advent

Bishop Gruss: In this season of Advent, have you been waiting for Christmas or longing for Jesus? This week we will reflect upon Mary's posture of waiting. The length of an average pregnancy is forty weeks.  After Mary gave her fiat – her surrender – to bearing the Son of God, she still had to wait nine long months before she could finally cradle him in her arms.  One can just imagine Mary's excitement and anticipation during those months of pregnancy. But we know that she didn't passively sit around waiting for the days pass by.  

In any given week, how many anonymous Catholics are in the pews at the Mass in which you attend? When was the last time you went up to someone you did not know and introduced yourself to that person?  As I mentioned last week, during this season of Advent, our reflections will look at four postures of our Blessed Mother. It is my hope that Mary will lead us into her heart, and guide us into a deeper experience of the Christmas mystery. This week we will look at Mary's posture of hospitality. It might even be seen as radical hospitality.

The "warm-up segment" featured reports on seafaring, its economic relevance, and everyday life at sea. Gruss an Bord features music and greetings to and from mariners around the world. The Christmas greetings were recorded at an event in Hamburg. Unlike for the past several years, there was no event in Leer.Relatives and friends had the opportunity to wish their loved ones at sea a happy holiday and a happy new year. The Hamburg event was recorded on 8 December in the Duckdalben International Seamen's Club and was hosted by Birgit Langhammer and Ocke Bandixen. Music was provided by the Swedish-South African duo "Fjarill." The broadcast was primarily in German with some greetings in other languages.In addition to being carried on the NDR Info and NDR Info Spezial networks, the broadcast was transmitted around the world on shortwave using transmitters at Nauen, Germany; Moosbrunn, Austria; Issoudun, France; Tashkent, Uzbekistan; and Okeechobee, Florida, U.S.A.; and was organized by Media Broadcast.The frequencies (kHz) were: 6030 (via Issoudun) for the Northeast Atlantic, 6080 (via Tashkent) for Europe, 9635 (via Moosbrunn) for the Indian Ocean,11650 (via Issoudun) for the Atlantic and Indian Oceans, 13830 (via Nauen) for the Southern Atlantic, and15770 (via Okeechobee) for the Northwest AtlanticThe "warm-up" segment was not carried on the NDR Info Spezial network, which broadcast the children's program Mikado instead.

A number of years ago, I was on a retreat with the other bishops of the United States and the retreat director posed a question to us – and perhaps it is a good question for everyone today. “Where is my heart directed?”It is a question that needs to be asked daily.  Where is your heart directed?  Let me rephrase this. What relationship in your life is most on your mind and heart?
