Podcasts about Hail Mary

Delivered by Ria from the Parish of Good Shepherd in the Diocese of Surabaya, Indonesia. Acts of the Apostles 20: 17-27; Rs psalm 68: 10-11.20-21; John 17: 1-11a.EMBRACE THE GLORY OF GOD The title for our meditation today is:Embrace The Glory Of God. Jesus has explained so much about the Holy Spirit whoteaches us everything about Him, including about the cross and suffering. If weas His followers love and accept the cross that the Lord has given us, we mustbe so loved and blessed by the Holy Spirit. For example, the Apostle Paul saidthat suffering and the cross had become his daily food. The Holy Spiritstrengthened and comforted him to accept it with pleasure, and he enjoyed it tothe end. To endure to the end with this cross, Jesus makes it the greatestchallenge for His followers. There are people who are ready for it like Paul,but there are more not yet or even not ready. So He prays for them so that theydo not need to worry about all kinds of suffering and the cross. Blessed are wefor the Lord Jesus Christ prays for us! His prayer for us and His promise ofthe Holy Spirit that helps us to carry our crosses, aim to make us always likethe cross, embrace it, and carry it. Before carrying the cross, we must embracefirst. That means we want, we like and we accept it. If we embrace something orsomeone, that means we love, also we are careful to keep it from falling. Wetry to make sure that the cross does not fall from us and can even move toanother person. This means we embrace the glory ofGod. The cross signifies victory and glory for us, which is achieved byovercoming error and sin. What does embracing God's glory mean? First, becauseJesus Himself reveals that glory to us, especially when He prays for us.Second, Jesus offers an abundance of blessings without limit and this describesreally the glory of God. The glory of the Lord refers to His abundant mercy andkindness. Third, by embracing the glory of Godthrough His cross, we are certain to know God personally. In principle, if wecan get to know someone about his situation that is most difficult, then wecome to know him deeply and personally. With the cross of Jesus, we can knowmany people who are suffering around us because of the various problems.Fourth, the glory of our Lord is also experienced through the fellowship oflove that endures to the end, precisely when love is expressed in serving thosewho suffer. The cross signifies the unity of Jesus Christ with the sinful andsuffering human beings. Let us prepare ourselves for the Solemnity of thePentecost by embracing the glory of God.Let's pray. In the name of theFather ... O Good and loving God, help us to always choose for Your glory inall our efforts and duties. May we faithfully carry our crosses in all times.Hail Mary full of grace ... In the name of the Father ...

Delivered by Evelyn from the Parish of the Holy Spirit in the Archdiocese of Singapore. Acts of the Apostles 18: 9-18; Rs psalm 47: 2-3.4-5.6-7; John 16: 20-23a.DON'T UNDERESTIMATE REGRET Our meditation today is entitled: Don't UnderestimateRegret. For already many times, Sandro, a teenager who was about to enter theuniversity, apologized to his mother as he was saying: "I'm sorry Mama, Iam very sorry for what I did. I promise not to repeat that again". Sandroonly used the money for fun, not for his study in the college. He lowered hishead and hugged his mother. Hopefully Sandro would change. However, anyone who promises to change from mistakesor sins should realize that through regret, the change expected will be the onethat we all want. Regret refers to feeling ashamed, sad, painful, suffering andunpleasant for having made mistakes and sins. Even hatred, anger and dislikefor mistakes and sins are also constituted parts of regret. Someone who regretsmeans he is angry and hurt because of a sinful act made.  So we should not underestimate regret, deny or play funon it. Jesus Christ teaches that we should enjoy when we regret. Every one ofHis followers would weep and be overwhelmed with sorrow over the experience ofdeficiency or inability like the one experienced by Jesus' disciples. This is acommon thing that we always face in this life.  However, the Holy Spirit will comfort us when we arein the midst of trouble and trials. The comfort and help we receive afterregret is also our common experience. We normally smile and get excited again aftergoing through moments of weeping and sadness. But a regret will be the mosteffective one when it is done over sins or mistakes have been committed.  Let us imagine this. There was a mistake made and theperson concerned wanted to repent, improve himself, but he did not want toregret his actions! For example, I stole a friend's money. After admitting thatact, I would return the money and promise not to steal again, but I did notregret my sins of stealing money.  What would happen? I din't have any feeling of shameand sadness. I also didn't feel how sick and lost my friend was. There was nomore room in my heart for forgiveness and respect for others. That is theconsequence if we have no regrets. Truly regretting ourselves will make ourforgiveness sincere, and it will help us not any more tempted to make again thesame mistakes.  So let us say again, don't underestimate regret. Mayyou and I be among those who consider it positive and important for a regret.Every mistake demands regret. Let us pray. In the name of the Father... O Lord, help usalways to have deep regret for every mistake and sin we have committed, so thatwe can truly repent. Hail Mary full of grace... In the name of the Father ...

Delivered by Vivian from the Parish of Saint Thomas the Apostle in the Archdiocese of Jakarta, Indonesia. Acts of the Apostles 16: 11-15; Rs psalm 149: 1-2.3-4.5-6a.9b; John 15: 26 - 16: 4a.THE SECRET OF A HELPER The title for our meditation today is:The Secret of a Helper. Anyone of us who is a helper to the neighbors, he orshe has all the freedom to help, do good and make sacrifice according to his orher abilities. That help can be big, medium or small either in quantity orquality. Often the helps are offered by those who do not know the concernedreceivers. The givers also do not want to be known. The offerings that reachthe supposed receivers can be considered as gifts. Therefore the secret of ahelp or offering is in the person of the helper.  A good helper is like a teenager namedBerto. At school he is known as a model because he likes to help his fellowstudents. He is not ashamed of picking up garbages left by his friends who makefloor and yard dirty. He shares his learning tools with the friends who forgetto bring with them. He shares his own water and food with the friends who don'thave. He is eager to accompany and tell stories to the friends who are sick. Hehelps anyone without feeling bored and tired. The helpers like Berto do havemotivation, intention, and belief that are typical to every one of them. Eachhas type and way of help which is different from the other. The way and qualityof giving help depend much on each helper. Those who receive helps do not needto preocupy or to imagine about the form and content of help. Lydia in thefirst reading from the Acts of the Apostles offered all the logistics to Pauland compaions. This is what we call “the secret of the helper”, which is inthis context Lydia. Paul and Silas did not have to bother on the contents ofthe helper's kindness. This is what we mean by the secret ofa helper. Do we ever know the secret of God's will to help us? We never know.The Holy Spirit sent to us by Jesus Christ who comes out of the Father, also hasall His secret. Jesus reveals a sort of clue by saying that the messenger is anAdvocate and Defender. Let it be God's will to help. We have no authority toimpose our desires on the Holy Spirit. What is clear is that God's will is forour goodness and salvation. Anyone of us who has intention, will,plan and nature to help, just be convinced that, the basic secret of a goodhelper is to do what is appropriate, positive, healthy and sincere of bringinggoodness and salvation to those who receive help. A good helper never does anyevil  both in ways and goals to others. Thisis not a help, but a coercion that will plunge those helped into trouble and danger.Let's pray. In the name of theFather ... O Lord Jesus, help us always to imitate yourself in helping others,and may we be open to all the teachings of your Holy Spirit. May we also followthe footsteps of  Your Mother, the VirginMary who is also for us a great helper. Hail Mary full of grace ... In the nameof the Father ...

Delivered by Samuel Ivan Gunarsa from the Parish of Mary, the Lady of All Nations in the Diocese of Bogor, Indonesia. Acts of the Apostles 16: 22-34; Rs psalm 138: 1-2a.2bc-3.7c-8; John 16: 5-11.TRIAL FOR THE WORLD The title for our meditation today is:Trial for The World. Why is there a trial against the world? The court rulesout a just trial for the injustices that are happening in the world. Injusticeis a big sin of people who live and practice the life-style of the world. Thetragedies of war, hunger, corruption and sexual abuse are among the manyinjustices that contribute to the damages of life that our world today has. Jesus Christ specifically mentions theduty of the Holy Spirit who judges as He says, "When He comes, He willconvict the world". The spiritual jugde comes into a condition of theworld that had been renewed through the events of Jesus Christ. The Paschalevents presented Jesus, the apostles and the Early Church as the true witnessesof what is right, good and just that need to be maintained. A life that isright, good and just does not disappear after Jesus' death and ascension intoheaven. The Holy Spirit continues to livethrough this course of life. He teaches and operates the court so that we whohave faith may open our inner and physical eyes, to justify what sin is andwhere grace stands. The heavenly court does not use the law enforcement of thisworld, which are full of compromises and corruptions. The Holy Spirit does nothave flesh and bones, so He will certainly conduct His judgement fairly andwisely. The Spirit will make every believerand the whole world know for certain about sin. Sin is an act against God,namely not believing in Jesus Christ sent by the Father. The consequence of notaccepting God is not being able to enjoy happines and eternal dwelling in God.Sin brings misery to life in this world and must be more miserable in thehereafter. The Holy Spirit also shows what truth,goodness and justice are. Jesus himself lived in that manner and he did defendit to the point of His death. Jesus went up to the Father in heaven whily leavingthis world already graced with the the gift of salvation. His truth liberates,just like a liberation offered to Paul and Silas from imprisonment as told inthe liturgical first reading of today. This is what we need to follow, which isan eternal gain that is to live with the Father in heaven. The Holy Spirit opens the eyes of thewhole world that the judgment for sinners is undeniable. Sinners, andespecially the scandal makers who have plunged many people into sin, must berewarded with extraordinary punishment. They have no place in God. Let us bethe people who are firm to the truth and obedient to the Holy Spirit.Let's pray. In the name of theFather ... O God Almighty, we are grateful for Your Son Jesus Christ whoenlightens us in the divine justice. May we sincerely open ourselves to receivethe Holy Spirit that we may remain in the path of truth, the way of JesusChrist Himself. Hail Mary full of grace ... In the name of the Father ...

Delivered by Ariel from the Parish of Saint Albert the Great in the Archdiocese of Makassar, Indonesia. Acts of the Apostles 15: 22-31; Rs psalm 57: 8-9.10-12; John 15: 12-17.IN LOVE AND FOR LOVE The title for our meditation today is:In Love and For Love. The implicit meaning of this sentence is that we werecreated by God, through the marriage of our parents then we were born throughour respective mothers, in love and to love. If you want to say it morefamiliar, just call it “all because of love”. The true vine or source that producesus is love itself (as it is said in the 1st Letter of John 4: 8 thatGod is love, Deus caritas est), thenour fruits certainly love itself. This can happen because we should always beconnected with our Lord Jesus Christ as the true vine, and we are all thebranches. This relationship of love reallyreflects the greatest act of love of Jesus Christ, that is the sacrifice ofHimself for our salvation. It is this greatest love that given to us, so thatwe can also, according to everyone's way, sacrifice ourselves for the goodnessand salvation of our neighbors. Why does this expression: "inlove and for love" lead us to sacrifice of oneself? Do we agree to suchteaching or invitation? I'm sure we agree and we follow its demand. Because ifwe are not sure and do not want to, our connection with the source of life willbe threatened to ruin or we will be loosing the way to salvation. We have hereat least four basic reasons. First, God showers His love into ourhearts. This divine sharing is not just once at the moment we received baptism,but precisely every time His words touches our hearts, the giving of Hisblessings to us, and the embrace of His love that we receive every day. This isour motivation to sacrifice. The early Church in Antioch was immediately filledwith God's love when it listened to the words and teachings on the obedience tothe true and one Church. Second, Jesus deals with us asfriends, and not as servants. Therefore He will always teach and give usexamples of how to love wholeheartedly as He has done. Third, the commitment oflove is to the end that is to our death. No matter a small or a simple act oflove is, its content and purpose is to sacrifice one's life to the point ofdeath. Fourth, love manifests itself through thefruits it produces. For example, I am happy to greet with the smile towards theguests who come to my house. The fruit of this act is that the the guests willfind it so easy and at home, and they become my good friends. When love doesnot produce good fruit, it turns out to be lies, falsehood and betrayal.Let's pray. In the name of theFather ... O Lord Jesus Christ, as You have taught and given us examples ofloving wholeheartedly, may we always commit to do it in all our lives. HailMary full of grace ... In the name of the Father...

De uitdrukking “dat is een kanarie in de kolenmijn” staat symbool voor een vroege waarschuwing bij groot gevaar. Vroeger namen mijnwerkers daadwerkelijk een kanarie mee de mijn in. Niet voor gezelschap, maar als levensreddend alarmsysteem. De kleine vogeltjes zijn extreem gevoelig voor giftige gassen zoals koolmonoxide – een onzichtbare, reukloze sluipmoordenaar. Zodra de kanarie bezweek, wisten de mijnwerkers genoeg: tijd om weg te wezen. Dankzij dit waarschuwende offer konden zij op tijd vluchten en het lek opsporen.Nu is Japan die kanarie in de kolenmijn. Als praktisch de uitvinder van monetaire verruiming – het ongebreideld bijdrukken van geld en andere vormen van kunstmatige economische stimulering – laat het land zien waar dit beleid uiteindelijk toe leidt. De yen is sterk gedevalueerd, de schuldenberg is onhoudbaar geworden en alle conventionele oplossingen lijken uitgeput.De situatie is schrijnend: het geboortecijfer nadert het nulpunt en het land balanceert op de rand van de afgrond. Japan is de eerste die met deze realiteit wordt geconfronteerd, maar zeker niet de laatste. Ook China, de Verenigde Staten en Europa kampen met dezelfde structurele problemen.Misschien rest er nog één laatste Hail Mary: een ontsnapping uit deze existentiële crisis via kunstmatige intelligentie en robotisering.Word bazige baas

Delivered by Nia from the Parish of the Good Shepherd in the Diocese of Surabaya, Indonesia. Acts of the Apostles 15: 1-6; Rs psalm 122: 1-2.3-4a.4b-5; John 15: 1-8.ABUNDANCE FRUITS IN JESUS The title for our meditation today is:Abundance Fruits in Jesus. The weeks after Easter Sunday or the day of Resurrectionnourish us with spirituality that is rich with great themes such as the breadof life, good shepherd, the house of the Father. Especially this week, we aretaught to love one another. These are wonderful spiritual experiences that weall treasure. In essence, God is always with Hispeople and endows every believer with all gifts, so that as individuals and asGod's people, we can live in this world to do His will dan plan. The appropriatesymbol to teach us this unity is the true vine. Jesus is the true vine, we areits branches, and the Father in heaven is the owner or the vine grower. The reality in the Church that showsdifferences in understanding and practice of faith, should be seen as part ofthe dynamic in the community of believers, as the branches often shaken againstthe wind and rainwater overflowing. These differences should not become thecause to damage life, for the vine, namely Jesus Christ, is the only Power thatprotects and sustains life. All misunderstandings and problems that arise fromthe the life of the Church will surely find their solutions in Jesus Christ. So our focus of attention on theabuncande fruits in Jesus Christ benefits us in our living together with Jesus asour head and we all pattern our lives after Him. These fruits are certainlyvery useful for the growth of our faith. The first fruit is holiness andevangelization. We as individuals and people of God recognize that holiness isour ideal, which is strongly supported by the works of evangelization. The second fruit is courage andwillingness to cut down the dry and useless parts of life, gather and burn themout. This is made through correction, reparation and repentance. The third isopportunity to grow and become a new person or community, to be more open aftercorrection and renewal. Fourth, we are therefore very happy to always beconnected with Jesus as the true vine. Fifth, if we are always with Jesus, wewill bear abundant fruits. Sixth, we indeed have a basic intention to alwayspraise and glorify our God and Father. Seventh, our dignity as followers ofChrist and the children of the Father is a very special and honorable position.Eighth, then we are sent by God to go and produce more good fruits, and ninth,not only to bear fruits but we must be able to survive in all forms of difficultiesand sufferings.Let's pray. In the name of theFather … O most loving Father, look at us with Your power and love, so that weare always related to the true vine, our Lord Jesus Christ. Without being withHim, we will lose direction towards You. Bless us always for the intention ofthis unity. Hail Mary full of grace … In the name of the Father ...

Patrick shares the importance of clear communication and how even simple messages can be misunderstood without proper guidance. He uses a parable to illustrate interpreting scripture, addresses if Pope Leo needs to pay US taxes, and how to make good faith decisions at home. Patrick demonstrates how clarity, tradition, and genuine connection strengthen both faith and everyday life. Martin (email) – I don’t understand the significance of “I never said you stole money” (01:40) Will Pope Leo XIV have to file and pay U.S. taxes? (17:14) Angie - What happens to our prayers if we pray for the dead who are either in heaven or in hell? How does God use these prayers? (23:26) Ray (email) - I get that we should pray the Rosary, but I feel like we as Catholics spend too much time with that as compared to one on one with Jesus. Should we be mindful that we are not spending more time praying to Mary as opposed to Jesus? (31:02) Leonard (email) - I was like Ray as well until I heard a good Catholic Priest explain that Jesus is center of the Hail Mary. (38:44) Rose (email) - Is it ok for a non-Catholic to receive communion? (40:47) John – My friend has cancer but is not Catholic. Can a non-Catholic receive last rites? (45:55)

The Email That Sparked It All Cyrus read an email from Ray in Texas, who asked a fair and honest question: “Aren’t we spending too much time on Mary? Shouldn’t we focus more on Jesus?” You could practically hear Patrick rubbing his hands together; he was itching to respond. And respond he did... with biblical insight and big-time love for the Blessed Mother. Patrick’s first big point: The Rosary is all about Jesus. Even though we’re repeating the Hail Mary, we’re actually meditating on key events in Jesus’ life: -The Annunciation The Baptism -The Passion -The Crucifixion -The Resurrection These are Jesus-focused mysteries. Mary is in the picture, sure... but as the ultimate mom. She is always directing us straight to her Son. Mary's Role: The Ultimate "Point You to Jesus" Mother If anyone’s worried that Mary might steal the spotlight, Patrick reminds us of John 2:5. “Do whatever He tells you.” That’s Mary talking. Not “Do whatever I say” or “Look at me!” but “Go to Jesus.” So even if someone’s spiritual life gets a little too “Marian-heavy”, Mary will lovingly redirect them. She’s the queen of humility. Scripture shows Mary as a constant presence throughout Jesus’ life: -She carried Him in the womb. -She nursed Him and raised Him. -She taught Him as a child. -She stood at the foot of the Cross. -She was there at Pentecost, too. No one was closer to Jesus in His earthly life. And God Himself chose her for this role. So... if she’s important to Him, she should be important to us too. The Bottom Line So don’t stress if you love Our Lady. You’re in excellent company, including Jesus Himself.

Sam and Sara Kazmer brought great craft beer to a market they felt was underserved - Atlanta, Georgia when they flipped on the lights at Elsewhere Brewing in 2020. They wanted to produce award-winning beer in a unique, community-event driven taproom. They wanted to create space, community and memories for themselves and every customer that shared in their dream. And, as we'll hear in the 4th segment, they were successful. The whole project was an amalgamation of the experiences they had researching craft beer while traveling the world. Drinking, tasting, connecting and experiencing beer when it's more than beer in other countries and continents. In the 3rd segment we're joined by 6 month-old Sofie as she woke up from her nap. And that's about the time we really get into the struggles they faced at elsewhere Brewing. As their fan starts to really fill up with shit, Sam and Sara knew that they needed to throw a Hail Mary pass quickly. So in the Spring of 2024 they hired a new ops manager, built a team and a strategy around her and did everything they could to rally the ATL community around the beer and the vision of Elsewhere Brewing. They set a July deadline for profitability and as you may have guessed, they are a guest on this podcast because it didn't work. We learn a couple of handfuls of lessons in this episode, including whether you can change the culture of your community/city/region around how, why and how often they enjoy craft beer as part of a healthy lifestyle. To do or do not to do in regards to having a restaurant in your brewery. The management of multiple tasting rooms. And why you can't find someone to do the owner's job for 20K/year. This was a moving episode and a special one for me. So open up your hearts and ears and maybe you'll learn something about How NOT To Start A Damn Brewery. You can reach the Kazmers at Sarakazmer26@gmail.com Samkazmer@gmail.com

Despite a terrible winning record the last few years, One Fair Wage seems to be making a stand in one of the last few big blue states, this time New Jersey. Is it their swan song or the beginning of a comeback? We'll discuss. And then we'll talk about tariffs and the 90- day window of breathing space the Administration gave us. Is it a given that the small guys are the most vulnerable or do the big ones have unique exposures themselves? We'll take a look. We'll talk about those issues and wrap it up with the legislative scorecard.

THANKS Thanks to all you listeners, and to those who have supported me through the years and especially through this most recent hiatus. Also thanks to Marco of the Storia d'Italia podcast (https://italiastoria.com/) for giving authenticity to the Italian quote–which, incidentally, I believe I mistranslated somewhat: It's normally rendered as “when one Pope dies, we make another”, giving additional bluntness to the meaning.

My name is Gregg, and this is another special housekeeping episode. Vice-Pope Mrs Popeular History and I have a running joke about my superpower, namely that when I say something, it automatically becomes not true. Which, I know, isn't a great power for a fact-based podcaster to have, I mean, there's a reason I haven't told you about this ability of mine earlier. But you can see it at work here, with me announcing just days ago that Popeular History's hiatus would carry on through at least June, and now, well, I assume this isn't news to you since you're the sort of person to tune into this sort of show and it's been a day, but Pope Francis died early this morning. May he rest in peace, and may he find more mercy than anyone deserves in the Court of the Just Judge, as we would all hope to find for ourselves, and as we should all hope for others. In light of that, I'd like to announce that I am revoking my recent proclamation of continued hiatus, meaning yes, Popeular History is back, at least for the duration of the present Sede Vacante, as long as I can physically manage it and my efforts continue to receive both nihil obstats and imprimaturs from Vice-Pope Mrs Popeular History, who, as  it turns out, does *not* automatically succeed Francis as Pope. Apparently, there's a whole different process for that. Who knew? Anyways, here's what to expect. First, as much as I legitimately hate it, it is time to say goodbye to Pope Francis. You will be seeing an obituary on this feed soon, and there will be more tributes and reflections on his papacy coming now that it has concluded. Catholics do not pray only for the living, it's important to pray for the dead as well, so I would encourage you to pray for Pope Francis to find rest in God's merciful embrace if you're willing to pray. We'll conclude this episode with a brief Ave Maria–known in English as a Hail Mary, and I'll go ahead and do an English version as well–for that purpose, for Pope Francis' repose. After some appropriate reflection on Pope Francis and his legacy, there will be the matter of laying him to rest. Once I know when the funeral will be, information that will likely become available after the first General Congregation tomorrow morning, I will make every effort to plan for some form of livestream coverage, possibly as part of a larger group. The general expectation is that the funeral will be this weekend, I'll keep you all posted. As of now, Francis' body is already in an oak coffin in preparation for lying in state, and the Papal apartments have been sealed with wax as per custom. Within the next week, Pope Francis' remains will ultimately make their way to a storeroom in the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, or in English, Saint Mary Major. And I just have to acknowledge that “when I go out, stick me in the closet” is *very* on brand for Pope Francis. Though it's also worth noting that it's not like there's you know, a lot of free space for dead popes in the highest tier of Rome's churches, so even if it weren't as on brand for him, well, needs must and all that. Anyways, after Pope Francis is laid to rest in an old closet, any reluctance to talk about the upcoming conclave on my part will vanish. Granted, lots of folks are already taking bets and asking for my lines and predictions, but, you know, I'm not planning to be focusing on that so much this week. This is the time for goodbyes. However, as the Italians say, “Morto un papa se ne fa un altro”: “when the Pope dies, we make a new one” (Marco recording). And so next week, after the funeral, I'll begin to look in earnest at the conclave process, including looking at the Cardinals to hopefully get a first glimpse of the new Pope. Ideally, of course, I'd love to be able to point to an existing episode on whoever is elected when the time comes. And I've got a decent chance of being able to do that thanks to Cardinal Numbers: so far we've talked about over 50 Cardinals on this feed, and I've got dozens more basically researched and scripted, who were awaiting just a bit of touching up before recording and editing closer to their release date. Which actually sounds REALLY promising when you consider the theoretical cap of 120 Cardinal-Electors you're going to hear more about soon in the context of the fact that there are currently more Cardinal Electors than that and no apparent provisions for dealing with that situation. Bottom line, of the 135 current Cardinal electors, I've only got about 30 that I haven't gone in-depth on in some fashion. To be clear, I'm not going to have every Cardinal elector covered in time. It's just not possible with work and family continuing apace. But you're going to see a lot from me in the coming weeks, especially once we're officially in Conclave mode after the funeral. Which brings us back to where started this chat. Let's close tonight by praying for Pope Francis' repose, first in Latin, then in English. I'll be doing both parts of the Hail Mary, since Vice-Pope Mrs Popeular History went to bed a while ago. In nomine Patri, et Filii, et Spiritui Sancti amen: Áve María, grátia pléna, Dóminus técum. Benedícta tu in muliéribus, et benedíctus frúctus véntris túi, Iésus. Sáncta María, Máter Déi, óra pro nóbis peccatóribus, nunc et in hóra mórtis nóstrae. Amen. Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, amen.

Karen Read's Retrial Heats Up: K-9s, Cameras, and Constitutional Rights So, here's where things got spicy: the judge agreed that Aidan Kearney—aka Turtleboy—has a valid basis to plead the Fifth Amendment in this case. That right there is the kind of courtroom moment that makes legal dramas look tame. Prosecutor Hank Brennan even conceded it. Kearney's attorney, Timothy Bradl, said flat out that if called, Kearney would plead the Fifth, and the judge is letting him stay in the courtroom unless witnesses tied to his own witness intimidation case are on the stand. That's where we ended for the day: “We're all set until Tuesday.” But let's rewind a bit and walk through what led up to that mic-drop moment. The judge kicked things off with the defense's renewed request for a forensic copy of video footage from inside the Canton Police Department's garage. That's been denied before, but defense attorney Elizabeth Little said they've now got expert testimony swearing there's still relevant metadata that could be extracted. Special prosecutor Hank Brennan, on the other hand, basically said, “Sure, come download whatever we've got,” but drew the line at handing over a full image of the department's detective file since it includes unrelated case material. The judge didn't make a ruling on that one—so, still in limbo. Then there's the canine controversy. Brennan's not thrilled with the defense's dog expert, Garrett Wing. He said Wing has no formal certifications and has never testified in court. But Robert Alessi fired back, saying Wing is a leading national expert on law enforcement K-9s. Wing might not have the standard paperwork, but apparently, the guy's resume still carries weight. Meanwhile, Judge Cannone is standing firm on allowing Dr. Crosby—an expert for the prosecution—to testify, but she doesn't believe Crosby can definitively say the marks on John O'Keefe's arms came from Chloe, the German Shepherd allegedly involved. Brennan tried to argue those bite marks don't line up with Chloe's mouth dimensions, but the judge called that an “uphill battle.” Not the kind of response a prosecutor wants to hear going into opening statements. Then came the courtroom theater debate. Brennan wants to use an “independent reader” to read aloud some of Read's text messages during trial—maybe a plain-clothed officer or another neutral voice. Defense attorney Alan Jackson wasn't exactly sold, saying he needs more info before agreeing. Judge Cannone didn't love the idea either, warning it could turn into a theatrical presentation that doesn't belong in a courtroom. You know, courtroom not Broadway. There's also the ongoing tug-of-war over the ARCCA witnesses—the experts hired by the feds who testified in the first trial that O'Keefe likely wasn't hit by a car. Brennan wants a full breakdown of these experts' relationship with the defense since the defense ended up paying them after the mistrial. He's pushing for a pre-testimony hearing, accusing the defense of setting up a potential “trial by ambush” with possible late-arriving evidence. Jackson responded by saying ARCCA hasn't done any new testing—yet. But he admits the defense gave ARCCA new info as recently as March 25 and expects more updates soon. The judge still seems fuzzy on which expert did what, but Jackson insists they're not hiding anything. Speaking of evidence wars, both sides agreed to allow an alternative DNA analyst for the prosecution, and the judge asked for previews of the props each side plans to use in opening statements. The prosecution is bringing video clips. The defense? Just one photo. Back to the courtroom logistics—Judge Cannone wants the jury's scene view to go smoothly. Read will likely travel separately with her attorneys, but at least one defense attorney has to be on the juror bus to match the prosecution's presence. Cannone also expanded the buffer zone outside the courthouse after complaints from the first trial's jurors about noisy demonstrators. Apparently, the yelling and chanting could be heard during deliberations. Nothing like public protests to set the mood for life-or-death legal decisions. Now for the bigger legal chessboard. Read's team is making a Hail Mary pass to the Supreme Court, asking it to throw out two of the three charges, including second-degree murder, claiming the original jury actually acquitted her on those. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson already denied the request for an emergency pause on the retrial, but the full Supreme Court will consider the appeal on April 25. It only takes four of nine justices to hear it—but that's rare air. So far, Read's retrial team includes five lawyers, one of whom—Victoria George—was an alternate juror in the original trial. Yeah, that's some wild trivia. Opening statements are scheduled for April 22, and the new jury—nine women, nine men—will have plenty to chew on. The prosecution plans to lean heavily on Read's own words from her many interviews. Meanwhile, the defense continues to allege a cover-up involving law enforcement, claiming O'Keefe was beaten inside the house, bitten by a dog, and left outside—not struck by Read's car. And sitting in the gallery this week? Just some cousins and friends of John O'Keefe. His brother and parents weren't there for this round. #KarenRead #JohnOKeefe #TrueCrime #CourtroomDrama Want to listen to ALL our podcasts AD-FREE?

Courts, Confessions & A Crime, Talking Everything Karen Read Pre-Trial With Bob Motta Was Karen Read nearly cleared of murder charges—only to get yanked back into a second trial over a botched verdict form? In this tangled mess of legal technicalities, Tony Brueski and Defense Attorney Bob Motta (host of Defense Diaries) break down the latest chaos in the Karen Read case. From jury deliberations that may or may not have led to an actual decision, to a verdict form missing critical boxes, the defense is now trying to call in the Supreme Court for a legal Hail Mary. But let's be real—SCOTUS probably isn't sweating a local Massachusetts murder trial while juggling national crises. Could double jeopardy be in play here? Maybe. But only if the jurors actually, like, rendered a verdict… and didn't just whisper it backstage. Motta pulls no punches as he questions whether the judge, the attorneys, or everyone else in the courtroom just wanted to clock out early. Now, the big question is: will Karen Read be tried again for something a jury might have already decided she didn't do? What happens when a not-guilty verdict is allegedly reached—but never officially spoken? #KarenRead #TrueCrimeToday #HiddenKillers #DefenseDiaries #DoubleJeopardy #MistrialMadness #TrueCrimeCommunity Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

“But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.” – James 1:6 When faced with a health scare, the author Michelle Lazurek found themselves in a place many of us know too well: praying out of desperation, but doubting deep down. Even though the words were spoken, the heart quietly assumed the worst. And yet, God still moved. This powerful reflection reminds us that God welcomes our prayers, even when our faith feels fragile. He wants us to ask—not just for small things, but for everything—and to ask with belief, not hesitation. God is not a genie to grant our wishes, but a loving Father who listens and responds in His perfect timing, for our ultimate good. When we choose to ask boldly and trust deeply, even in uncertain outcomes, our faith grows. And through that faith, we learn to see God not just as a helper in times of crisis, but as our true source of strength, peace, and satisfaction.

Richard Wolff is Professor Emeritus of Economics at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and a visiting professor at The New School, where he works on economics in the Marxist tradition. This is Richard's eighth appearance on Robinson's Podcast. In his last appearance, episode #243, he and Robinson discussed 2025 and the first weeks of Trump's presidency, as well as what's to come.

Karen Read's Lawyers Take the Fight to the Supreme Court Jurors say she was not guilty—so why is Karen Read being retried for murder? With jury selection now underway for Karen Read's second trial in the death of Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe, her legal team is throwing a Hail Mary to the U.S. Supreme Court. Their argument? That retrying her on charges the jury allegedly already agreed she didn't commit violates her Fifth Amendment rights—specifically, protection against double jeopardy. It's a bold move, considering the original trial ended in a mistrial, not an acquittal. But here's where it gets messy: According to Read's attorneys, the jury didn't just stall out completely—they allegedly reached unanimous agreement that she was not guilty on two of the three charges, including the most serious: second-degree murder. The jury just never announced it in court. And that technicality could change everything. The defense says this silent consensus should still count as an acquittal. But because no formal verdict was read, Massachusetts courts have already ruled that her retrial is fair game. So now, her lawyers are asking the highest court in the land to intervene. The case stems from Read's 2022 arrest after O'Keefe's body was found in the snow outside a home in Canton, Massachusetts. Prosecutors say Read, allegedly drunk, hit him with her SUV and drove away, leaving him to die in the cold. She was initially charged with manslaughter, leaving the scene of an accident, and DUI. Later, the charge was bumped up to second-degree murder. Read has pleaded not guilty to all charges, and her defense team argues she's a scapegoat—framed by others connected to the case. During her first trial in 2024, jurors started deliberating on June 25. For nearly a week, they sent notes to the judge saying they were deadlocked. On July 1, with no end in sight, Judge Beverly Cannone declared a mistrial. No verdict was read. No charges were resolved. Or so it seemed. That's when the jurors started talking. The next day, Juror A reached out to Read's attorney, Alan Jackson, and said the panel had unanimously agreed she wasn't guilty of the murder charge. Then came Jurors B, C, and D, sharing similar statements—one even leaving a voicemail for prosecutors saying, “It was not guilty on second degree.” Texts from Juror B added, “No one thought she hit him on purpose or even knew that she had hit him.” So why does this matter? Because if true, it means a jury had decided she wasn't guilty of murder—and according to the Constitution, once you've been acquitted, the government doesn't get a second swing. But here, since no one ever said it out loud in court, the legal system treats it like it never happened. The defense argues that's a dangerous technicality. They say the judge should've asked the jury whether they had reached a verdict on any specific counts before sending them home. Without that, the system is effectively ignoring what the jury allegedly decided behind closed doors. If the Supreme Court agrees with Read's team, the second-degree murder and leaving-the-scene charges could be dropped. She'd still face manslaughter, but that's a whole different ballgame compared to a potential life sentence. In the meantime, jury selection for her second trial has begun, and, no surprise, dozens of potential jurors already have opinions about the case. Karen Read's name has become a lightning rod in Boston—part true crime obsession, part courtroom soap opera, and part public debate over police, power, and justice. But behind the noise is a very real constitutional question: If a jury says you're not guilty, but doesn't say it in the “right” way, can the state still come after you again?
