The first major fight in the church came down to a single question: is grace really enough? Some insisted that new Gentile believers had to take on the old law to truly belong, but the apostles land squarely on the gospel: we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, just as they are. Every generation finds new ways to add requirements to the finished work of Christ, and this chapter keeps pulling us back. It is a study for anyone who has ever quietly feared they have not done enough to be accepted by God.  The Rev. Dr. Adam Filipek, pastor of Holy Cross and Immanuel Lutheran Churches in Lidgerwood, ND, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Acts 15:1-35.  To learn more about Holy Cross and Immanuel Lutheran Churches, visit hcilc.com. The book of Acts picks up where the Gospels leave off. Jesus has risen. He has ascended. And now what? Acts answers that question. Luke tells the story of how the Holy Spirit built the Church from a handful of frightened disciples in Jerusalem into a movement that reached Rome itself. Along the way, you get Pentecost, the first sermons, the first martyrs, the conversion of Paul, the first church councils, shipwrecks, riots, and the persistent, stubborn work of God through Word and Sacrament even when His people didn't have a plan. If you've ever wondered how we got from Easter morning to the Church you sit in today, this is the book. Tune in for this new series on Thy Strong Word with Pastor Phil Booe and guest pastors as we open up the Book of Acts.  Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations. Submit comments or questions to: thystrongword@kfuo.org.

Friends of the Rosary,Today is the Memorial of St. Benedict (480-547), the father of Christian monasticism.St. Benedict was born in Nursia, Italy, in 480 and, after being educated in Rome, left the world to live as a solitary hermit at Subiaco. He organized a form of monastic life in twelve small monasteries. Under his guidance, as abbot, the monks vowed to seek God and devoted themselves to work and prayer.A few years later, St. Benedict left the district of Subiaco to found the abbey of Monte Cassino on the heights of Campania. There, he wrote his famous Rule, the monks' program of life, in which the Roman genius and the monastic wisdom of the Christian world are wonderfully combined.His rule prescribed common sense, a life of moderate asceticism, prayer, study, and work, and community life under one superior. It stressed obedience, stability, and zeal, and made the Divine Office the center of monastic life; it would affect spiritual and monastic life in the West for centuries to come.While ruling his monks (most of whom, including Benedict, were not ordained), he counseled rulers and Popes, ministered to the poor and destitute around him, and tried to repair the ravages of the Lombard invasion led by Totila.For St. Benedict, the fundamental, and even more, the sole objective of existence is the search for God: "Quaerere Deum." He knew that when the believer enters into a profound relationship with God, he cannot be content with living in a mediocre way, with a minimalist ethic and superficial religiosity.In this light, the faithful better the expression that Benedict took from St. Cyprian, and that is summarized in his Rule (IV, 21): Nihil amori Christi praeponere. Prefer nothing to the love of Christ.Associated with the life of the saint and worn on a Rosary, the Saint Benedict Medal is used by many faithful as a sacramental for spiritual protection against evil and temptation, and as a prayer of exorcism against Satan. The primary prayer associated with the Saint Benedict medal is an exorcism prayer, often represented by initials on the medal, which translates to: "May the Holy Cross be my light; May the dragon never be my guide. Begone, Satan! Never tempt me with your vanities. What you offer is evil; Drink the poison yourself!". Ave Maria!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!

There's a trend that you might not have heard of until now, men guiding women on a hike, then losing them. Or worse. Let's get into it.The situation regarding women going missing or being abandoned by male hiking companions—often referred to as the "Alpine Divorce" trend—has gone viral on social media. It involves male partners abandoning or storming ahead of female hikers, leaving them vulnerable to extreme environments. Tragic incidents have even resulted in manslaughter convictions1. The "Alpine Divorce" Phenomenon - The Trend: Women have shared stories on platforms like TikTok detailing experiences where male partners pushed them beyond their limits, stormed ahead to reach summits, or abandoned them in unfamiliar territory.The Consequences: In January 2025, an Austrian mountaineer was convicted of manslaughter after leaving his exhausted girlfriend on a mountain, where she froze to death.The Intent: While some incidents are driven by male ego and impatience, outdoor advocates warn that these actions can be premeditated or life-threatening.2. Search and Rescue OperationsRecent Cases: For example, the search for a 49-year-old female hiker, Jaslinda Saludin, on Malaysia's Gunung Batu Putih trail gained widespread attention. She became separated from a group that included mountain guides and was the subject of intensive search and rescue efforts.Cold Cases: Many historical disappearances highlight the dangers of being left behind. Notably, the disappearance of Michelle Vanek on Colorado's Mount of the Holy Cross gained closure when a female-led rescue team successfully used modern technology to locate her remains nearly two decades later.3. Outdoor Safety and ResponsibilityPartner Dynamics: Experts advise that if a partner abandons you in dangerous or unfamiliar terrain to achieve their own hiking goals, it is a significant relationship red flag.Preparation: Wilderness experts stress the importance of carrying independent gear (like emergency blankets and communication devices) and sticking with hiking partners of similar fitness levels and experience.Show Sources and Materials:Women are being abandoned by their partners on hiking trails.

 Topic: Rev. Pete McCormick, C.S.C., '06 M.Div., '15 MBAIn his inaugural address, University President Rev. Robert A. Dowd, C.S.C., called us to be “sustainers of hope and builders of bridges.” But in a world where optimism often feels in short supply, where do we find the inspiration to keep nurturing the good? Plant those seeds through a revitalizing experience where you can pause, exhale, and allow your spirit to blossom. Come hear this calling echo in powerful, personal stories from Notre Dame alumni and faculty who are living examples of what it means to cultivate hope—just like Fr. Ted.Speaker:Rev.

Jesus ensures that His disciples know that the neighbor whom they are to love includes their enemy. Their Heavenly Father pours His gifts upon the righteous and the unrighteous, and so His Christians are to show the same sort of perfect love. To love only those who love in return is to practice the sort of righteousness that even the pagans already accomplish. God calls His people to His own holiness. Although we never measure up in our actions, He bestows holiness upon us through His grace in Jesus.  Rev. Dustin Beck, pastor at Holy Cross Lutheran Church in Warda, TX, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Matthew 5:43-48.  To learn more about Holy Cross in Warda, visit holycrosswarda.com. “The Reign of Heaven Stands Near” is a series on Sharper Iron that studies the Gospel according to St. Matthew. The first evangelist proclaims that God has fulfilled His Old Testament promises by sending Jesus to bring the reign of the heavens among us. As the Son of David, Jesus is the gracious King we need, and as the Son of Abraham, Jesus is the blessing to all the families of the earth.  Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen. Pastor Appel serves at Faith Lutheran Church in Godfrey, IL.

The Carolina Panthers' offseason has quietly turned into one of the more fascinating case studies in the NFL, and this video breaks down every angle of it. We start with the contract extension for wide receiver Jalen Coker, signed before training camp even opened. From his undrafted journey out of Holy Cross to becoming a building block at receiver, Coker opens up about why the timing mattered, how a recommitted diet and training routine helped him stay on the field, and what his growing chemistry with fellow young receiver Tetairoa McMillan could mean for the offense in 2026.From there, we shift to rookie minicamp, where Panthers legend Thomas Davis raised eyebrows comparing third-round pick Chris Brazzell II's route-running to All-Pro Justin Jefferson, while head coach Dave Canales pointed to a different comp entirely: former Panther Robby Anderson. After a First-Team All-SEC season at Tennessee, Brazzell is already generating buzz before he's played a single regular-season snap.We also cover the latest roster movement around the league. Longtime division rival Cameron Jordan is reportedly closing in on a new one-year deal to stay with the Saints, extending a 15-year run and a head-to-head history that hasn't been kind to Carolina. Meanwhile, former Panthers linebacker Jacoby Windmon has resurfaced with the Steelers after a winding path through two stints in Carolina.The centerpiece of this video, though, is the Rasheed Walker signing, and why it might be the smartest move of Dan Morgan's offseason. After Ikem Ekwonu's Wild Card injury left a hole at left tackle, Carolina needed a starter fast, at a position where the market price was roughly $20 million a year. Instead, they locked up a 26-year-old, 42-game starter on a one-year deal with a $4 million base and a $10 million incentive-laden ceiling, using the exact same financial blueprint that turned Rico Dowdle into a $12.25 million payday for Pittsburgh after a bargain season in Carolina. We break down the contract structure, why the incentive design protects the cap either way, and how this sets up Carolina for a potential premium compensatory pick down the line.Finally, we look at the quarterback room behind Bryce Young, whose fifth-year option is now locked in, and why a thin depth chart of Kenny Pickett, Will Grier, and undrafted rookie Haynes King has Texas Tech's Brendan Sorsby and the supplemental draft on Carolina's radar.If you want the full picture of how this front office is building its roster, this is the video for you. Like, subscribe, and drop your thoughts on the Walker contract in the comments — is it the steal of the offseason?

The Carolina Panthers made it official today — Jalen Coker is staying in Charlotte. The Panthers and their WR2 agreed to a three-year contract extension worth $35 million, with up to $41 million in incentives, locking the receiver in through the 2029 season. And if you know Coker's story, you know exactly how remarkable this moment really is.Two years ago, Jalen Coker walked into the NFL without a single team willing to use a draft pick on him. No fanfare. No guaranteed money. Just an undrafted free agent out of Holy Cross betting on himself with the Carolina Panthers. Most players in that position don't make the roster. Fewer still become a team's second wide receiver. And almost none of them sign multi-year extensions before their third season. Coker did all three.In today's video, we break down everything you need to know about this deal. We cover the contract details — three years, $35 million, up to $41M with incentives, Dan Morgan's first extension since taking over as Carolina's general manager — and what it signals about the direction of this franchise heading into 2026. This is not a team paying for potential. This is a team paying for production, for reliability, and for a player who has proven he can deliver when the stakes are at their highest.And let's talk about that playoff game. Wild Card night against the Los Angeles Rams. Jalen Coker went out and caught nine balls for 134 yards and a touchdown on the biggest stage of his career. That performance didn't just turn heads — it ended the conversation about his role on this offense. He is the WR2. Full stop.What makes Coker's story even more impressive is the consistency. Across two NFL seasons, zero drops on catchable balls. Zero. He confirmed that stat himself on the Panthers Huddle and reacted with the same quiet professionalism that has defined his entire time in Carolina — "I'm really just out there trying to make all the plays that come to me." That's it. No celebration. No theatrics. Just accountability and execution at the highest level, every single time.We also get into what this means for the wide receiver room as a whole. Thomas Davis called it the most complete WR room Carolina has had in at least ten years. Tetairoa McMillan is the WR1 and reigning NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year. Xavier Legette is entering a make-or-break Year 3 with a new body and a chip on his shoulder. Third-round pick Chris Brazzell is already turning heads in minicamp. And now Coker is locked in for the next three years as the reliable, professional anchor that holds it all together.Training camp opens July 22nd. Nine practices and the Panthers play in the Hall of Fame game. This team is building something real — and today, they made sure one of its most important pieces isn't going anywhere.Subscribe, hit the bell, and Keep Pounding.

Photo: U.S. Rep. Mary Peltola addresses a crowd during a meet and greet in Petersburg on May 26, 2026. Peltola is running for U.S. Senate. (Taylor Heckart/KFSK) Former U.S. Rep. Mary Peltola (D-AK) visited Petersburg, Alaska Tuesday in her campaign to unseat incumbent U.S. Sen. Dan Sullivan (R-AK). Peltola addressed a group of more than fifty people at Petersburg's Alaska Native Brotherhood John Hanson Sr. Hall as part of a one-hour meet and greet. She encouraged residents to get out and vote this year. “So many of the things that we are working on in Alaska just become political footballs for people in the lower 48 or some administration, and we’re better than that. We’re bigger than that. We are going to put our foot down and not be used as a political football.” During her speech, Peltola emphasized supporting elders, children, and addressing affordability. Peltola's campaign told KFSK she was not available for questions from local media during her visit. Local assembly member James Valentine says Peltola made time to talk to local leaders about a wide range of issues before the event. Valentine says he spoke with her about outmigration in the region. “Me, as a younger assembly member and a young, I guess, community leader, I asked her, and just more of stating, just my concerns about the younger generation retention in Southeast Alaska, and then she’s from Western Alaska, and I know she feels the same way.” That same day, Peltola also hosted a meet and greet in Wrangell, Alaska on a neighboring island. This week, she visited other Southeast Alaska communities including Ketchikan and Sitka – and she will be in Haines on Friday. The Senate primary takes place in August, and the general election is in November. This story was provided by KFSK's Taylor Heckart. An aerial view of the Yukon River as it breaks up downstream of Beaver, Alaska on May 10, 2026. (Courtesy U.S. National Weather Service Alaska) The thick winter ice of the Yukon River has washed out to the Bering Sea, signaling the end of breakup season on the Yukon Delta. Last week, communities along the Yukon River experienced ice jam related flooding. For some, it was among the most severe breakup impacts in recent memory. The communities of Holy Cross and Pilot Station saw water enter homes and in some cases, cover airport runways, but as of Tuesday evening, significant ice jams close to the mouth of the Yukon gave way and the water began to recede. Mike Ottenweller is a meteorologist with the Alaska Pacific River Forecast Center. He has been part of the River Watch team doing daily aerial surveys, tracking the Yukon River's breakup. “We watched the very last little bit of the ice run that was at one point 40 miles long, and maybe even if you go back a couple weeks, 90 miles long at some points, but we watched that clear out to the coastal areas and past those last villages and making its way out to the Bering Sea.” Overall, he says this year's Yukon River breakup trended toward dynamic and was about five days later than average, which was expected coming out of this year's frigid winter. Laura Havameister with the State Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management says though the flooding is receding, the recovery process is still ongoing. She points to Alukanuk, which experienced flooding on some roadways. “We could not make it into town, unfortunately, just because of that flooding. So we’re working with the city manager and with the SAR team to really understand those, those inundation areas.” From shuttling the team from the airstrip to providing on-the-ground updates, Havameister with the state says the community aspect of the operation is a powerful one. The team concluded their aerial surveys for the 2026 Yukon River breakup on Tuesday. This story was provided by KYUK's Samantha Watson. Get National Native News delivered to your inbox daily.

Our guest today is one of the most influential figures at the intersection of education, technology, and social development. He has dedicated his entire career to the question of how learning can become better, more accessible, and more effective. He studied at the College of the Holy Cross and began exploring the role of technology in education early on. His career is characterized by a deep understanding of how systems work and how to change them. He spent over 15 years at Microsoft, most recently as Vice President of Worldwide Education. In this role, he was responsible for global education strategy and collaborated with governments, institutions, and schools around the world. His goal: to rethink education and empower people to develop the skills needed for the 21st century. He led large international teams, forged partnerships with public institutions, and played a key role in shaping how technology is used in classrooms today. After his time at Microsoft, he took on the role of Chief Institution Officer at Nerdy, where he focused on making personalized learning scalable and making schools more student-centered. Today, he is Senior Vice President and General Manager at Coursera. There, he oversees the global enterprise business, which involves collaborating with companies, governments, and universities. It's about nothing less than the question of how learning becomes accessible worldwide and how people can continuously develop themselves. For many years, he has spoken on international stages, advised organizations, and received multiple awards for his work in the field of education technology. For nine years, this podcast has explored the question of how work empowers people rather than weakening them. In over 550 episodes, we've spoken with more then 700 individuals about what has changed and what still needs to change. How is AI changing learningand thus the very foundation of work itself? What does lifelong learning really mean when entire job profiles shift in just a few years? And what responsibility do companies and governments bear when education becomes the central issue for the future? One thing is certain: to solve our current challenges, we need new inspiration. That's why we continue to seek out methods, role models, experiences, tools, and ideas that bring us closer to the heart of New Work. Furthermore, from the very beginning, we've been grappling with the question of whether everyone can truly find and live what they truly, truly want deep down.

Today we celebrate Mass for the Feast of the Finding of the Holy Cross; a Feast Day that celebrates how the Holy Cross of our Lord was discovered by St. Helen, mother of St. Constantine, after the Roman persecution of Christ and His Church. What a blessing we have so soon after Holy Week of remembering the might and loving work of Jesus Christ for us upon the Cross once again. Today we remember two revelations of what Christ accomplished for us as He lowered Himself to suffering and death on the Cross. By the Cross, we are delivered as Satan and the demonic are thrown down and maimed. And, by the Cross of Christ, we are healed. The moments in time of Christ our God upon the Cross were the very moments where everything changes. The Fall is undone and the age of the salvation of mankind is opened.

1 And there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.Erat autem homo ex pharisaeis, Nicodemus nomine, princeps Judaeorum. 2 This man came to Jesus by night, and said to him: Rabbi, we know that thou art come a teacher from God; for no man can do these signs which thou dost, unless God be with him.Hic venit ad Jesum nocte, et dixit ei : Rabbi, scimus quia a Deo venisti magister, nemo enim potest haec signa facere, quae tu facis, nisi fuerit Deus cum eo. 3 Jesus answered, and said to him: Amen, amen I say to thee, unless a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.Respondit Jesus, et dixit ei : Amen, amen dico tibi, nisi quis renatus fuerit denuo, non potest videre regnum Dei. 4 Nicodemus saith to him: How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter a second time into his mother's womb, and be born again?Dicit ad eum Nicodemus : Quomodo potest homo nasci, cum sit senex? numquid potest in ventrem matris suae iterato introire et renasci? 5 Jesus answered: Amen, amen I say to thee, unless a man be born again of water and the Holy Ghost, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.Respondit Jesus : Amen, amen dico tibi, nisi quis renatus fuerit ex aqua, et Spiritu Sancto, non potest introire in regnum Dei. 6 That which is born of the flesh, is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit, is spirit.Quod natum est ex carne, caro est : et quod natum est ex spiritu, spiritus est. 7 Wonder not, that I said to thee, you must be born again.Non mireris quia dixi tibi : oportet vos nasci denuo. 8 The Spirit breatheth where he will; and thou hearest his voice, but thou knowest not whence he cometh, and whither he goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.Spiritus ubi vult spirat, et vocem ejus audis, sed nescis unde veniat, aut quo vadat : sic est omnis qui natus est ex spiritu. 9 Nicodemus answered, and said to him: How can these things be done?Respondit Nicodemus, et dixit ei : Quomodo possunt haec fieri? 10 Jesus answered, and said to him: Art thou a master in Israel, and knowest not these things?Respondit Jesus, et dixit ei : Tu es magister in Israel, et haec ignoras? 11 Amen, amen I say to thee, that we speak what we know, and we testify what we have seen, and you receive not our testimony.amen, amen dico tibi, quia quod scimus loquimur, et quod vidimus testamur, et testimonium nostrum non accipitis. 12 If I have spoken to you earthly things, and you believe not; how will you believe, if I shall speak to you heavenly things?Si terrena dixi vobis, et non creditis : quomodo, si dixero vobis caelestia, credetis? 13 And no man hath ascended into heaven, but he that descended from heaven, the Son of man who is in heaven.Et nemo ascendit in caelum, nisi qui descendit de caelo, Filius hominis, qui est in caelo. 14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so must the Son of man be lifted up:Et sicut Moyses exaltavit serpentem in deserto, ita exaltari oportet Filium hominis : 15 That whosoever believeth in him, may not perish; but may have life everlasting.ut omnis qui credit in ipsum, non pereat, sed habeat vitam aeternam.[5] "Unless a man be born again": By these words our Saviour hath declared the necessity of baptism; and by the word water it is evident that the application of it is necessary with the words. Matt. 28. 19.After the victory gained by Constantine by virtue of the cross which appeared to him in the skies, and whose sign he reproduced in the Labarum, St Helena, his mother, went to Jerusalem to try to find the true Cross. At the beginning of the second century, Hadrian had covered Calvary and the Holy Sepulchre under of terrace of 300 feet in length, on which had been erected a statue of Jupiter and and temple of Venus. The Empress razed them to the ground, and, in digging up the soil, they discovered the nails and the glorious trophy of which we owe "life salvation and resurrection". The miraculous cure of a woman authenticated the sacred tree.

The candidates pointed to stark examples—a senior forced to choose between groceries and medical care, and communities demanding greater transparency—to underscore a consistent message: the country is facing a dual crisis of affordability and accountability.Each candidate emphasized practical leadership rooted in service—whether balancing budgets, defending democratic institutions, or putting people over special interests. They pushed back on extremism and highlighted the need to rebuild trust through responsiveness and results.The throughline: change won't come from Washington alone. Citizens are urged to take action—engage locally, support candidates who reflect their values, stay informed, and speak up consistently.The stakes are real, and so is the opportunity—this moment demands participation, not spectatorship.Check out BigTentUSA's ACT NOW page:https://bigtentusa.org/act-now/Learn more about Shannon Bird's campaign:https://shannonbird.com/Learn more about Paige Cognetti's campaign:https://paigeforpa.com/Learn more about Nancy Lacore's campaign:https://www.nancylacore.com/Check out the Majority Dems organization:https://majoritydemocrats.com/ABOUT THE SPEAKERS:Shannon Bird, raised by a hardworking single mother and grandmother, understands the struggles families face and is committed to fighting for hardworking Coloradans.

Although David's enemies seek his harm, he cries out to the LORD as his refuge. The LORD is the Righteous One who arises to judge all people. While He brings the wicked to their end, He establishes the righteous through faith in Him. Those who refuse to repent encounter the LORD as the Divine Warrior who allows their wickedness to fall upon them. For these just judgments, David and all Christians give thanks to the LORD.  Rev. Dustin Beck, pastor at Holy Cross Lutheran Church in Warda, TX, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Psalm 7.  To learn more about Holy Cross, visit holycrosswarda.com. Join Sharper Iron this spring to study selected Psalms. In the Psalter, God speaks His Word to us and teaches us how to speak back to Him in prayer. Even in the great variety of the Psalms, each one points us to our Savior, Jesus Christ.   Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen. Submit comments or questions to: listener@kfuo.org

One dead fly ruins the perfumer's oil, and a little folly outweighs wisdom and honor. Qoheleth shifts into proverb mode and catalogs the ways fools wreck what the wise build: the fool walks down the road and everyone can tell, rulers put idiots in high places while the competent sit low, and the fool multiplies words about a future he cannot predict. But the Preacher also warns the wise man: even your private thoughts about the king can travel, because a bird of the air may carry your voice.  The Rev. James Stefanic, pastor of Holy Cross Lutheran Church in Renault, IL, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Ecclesiastes 9:13-10:20. To learn more about Holy Cross in Renault, visit holycrossrenault.org. What does a man gain from all his toil under the sun? Solomon asked that question three thousand years ago, and it still cuts. Ecclesiastes is the Bible's most unflinching book about work, wealth, wisdom, and the ache nothing in this life can fill. It is also one of the most pastoral, because the Preacher tells the truth about death, time, and meaning without leaving the reader in despair. Pastor Booe and guest pastors from across the Synod study it verse by verse, following Solomon's argument to where it finally lands: fear God and keep His commandments.  Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.

In less than two months, Seattle will begin hosting matches for the 2026 World Cup. And, like in the 10 other U.S. host cities, there is a lot of excitement here about this mega international sporting event coming to town. ... But there's likely some trepidation, too, as people think ahead to the congested streets, possible transit hangups and big crowds. Seattleites could be tempted to ask, how did we get roped into this and will it be worth it? We called up a sports economist for answers.

As we gaze upon the Holy Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, we see the most wondrous revelation of the love of God for mankind. We see the immense suffering. We see how far God lowered Himself so that our nakedness from the fall could be clothed with His glory. But we most certainly do not stop there. As we look upon the suffering, we rejoice in the victory. Our deliverer has delivered us. His blood is shed to cover the sins of mankind, reaching back to Adam, the first to fall. That precious blood stretches forward to cover the sins of mankind until Christ comes again. Tonight, as St. Paul instructs us, we glory in the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ.

On Good Friday, we gaze upon Jesus, who invites us into the most life-changing of realities: that out of perfect love for us, He died for us ...

Saint Mary was born in Egypt, and at the age of twelve, ran away to the city of Alexandria, where she lived an extremely dissolute life. She was, she said, driven by an insatiable desire and an irrepressible passion, and that she mainly lived by begging supplemented by spinning flax. After seventeen years of this lifestyle, she traveled to Jerusalem for the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross. She undertook the journey as a sort of "anti-pilgrimage," stating that she hoped to find in the pilgrim crowds at Jerusalem, even more partners in her lust. When she tried to enter the Church of the Holy Sepulchre for the celebration, she was barred from doing so by an unseen force. Realizing that this was because of her impurity, she was struck with remorse, and on seeing an icon of the Theotokos outside the church, she prayed for forgiveness, and promised to give up the world and become an aesthetic. Then she attempted again to enter the church, and this time was permitted in. After venerating the Relic of the True Cross, she returned to the icon to give thanks, and heard a voice telling her, "If you cross the Jordan, you will find a glorious rest." She immediately went to the Monastery of Saint John the Baptist on the bank of the River Jordan, where she received Holy Communion. The next morning, she crossed the Jordan, and retired to the desert to live the rest of her life as a hermit. She took with her only three loaves of bread, and once they were gone, lived only on what she could find in the wilderness. Approximately one year before her death, she recounted her life to Saint Zosimas of Palestine, who encountered her in the desert. When he unexpectedly met her in the desert, she was completely naked and almost unrecognizable as human. She asked Zosimas to toss her his mantle to cover herself with, and then she narrated her life story to him, manifesting marvelous clairvoyance. She asked him to meet her at the banks of the Jordan on Holy Thursday of the following year, and bring her Holy Communion. When he fulfilled her wish, she crossed the river to get to him by walking on the surface of the water, and received Holy Communion, telling him to meet her again in the desert the following Lent. The next year, Zosimas traveled to the same spot where he first met her, some 20 days journey from his monastery, and found her lying there dead. According to an inscription written in the sand next to her head, she had died on the very night he had given her communion, and had been somehow miraculously transported to the place he found her and her body preserved incorrupt. He buried her body with the assistance of a passing lion. On returning to the monastery, he related her life story to the brethren, and it was preserved among them as oral tradition until it was written down by Saint Sophronius.

Lawmakers in Washington, D.C. are proposing to update a key housing law for Tribal Nations, as communities across Indian Country continue to face severe housing shortages. Last week, U.S. Rep. Troy Downing (R-MT) introduced the American Housing and Self-Determination Modernization Act. The legislation would modernize and reauthorize the Native American Housing Assistance and Self Determination Act (NAHASDA), which provides federal funding for tribal housing programs, but it has not been fully reauthorized in more than a decade. Rep. Downing said in a press release that “Homeownership is the foundation of the American dream – that doesn't stop with Americans in our tribal communities.” The new act would increase funding and give tribes more flexibility to build, repair, and manage housing, Downing says. He said that, across Indian Country, many Native families are living in overcrowded homes with multiple generations sharing limited space. During that time, tribal leaders say the need has only grown. Mark Macarro, President of the National Congress of American Indians, says in a prepared statement that “the time to reauthorize and modernize NAHASDA is now.” Sharon Vogel is the president of United Native American Housing Association. She says that the legislation “will provide a stable environment for Indian housing development which will have a positive impact on meeting the needs of our tribal communities and families.” Other supporters of the act, quoted in a press release, say the changes are long overdue and warn that, without sustained investment, the gap between available housing and the need will continue to widen. U.S. Sens. Lisa Murkowski  (R-AK) and Brian Schatz (D-HI) are leading similar legislation in the Senate. The Skiku team traveled to several Interior villages along the Yukon River – Grayling, Anvik, Shageluk, and Holy Cross — to teach kids skiing. (Courtesy Skiku) Skiku is a non-profit that brings skiing to communities across rural Alaska. This year, organizers tried something new to make the activity stick – training a village resident to be a coach. As the Alaska Desk’s Alena Naiden from our flagship station KNBA reports, the idea is to encourage kids to ski throughout winter. Justin River Lechton was a fifth grade student in Aniak, in Southwest Alaska, when he learned to ski. He loved it and started going out on the river with his dogs, breaking trail, and enjoying the freedom the activity brought him. “It brought me outdoors. It took me outside to nature. And I was just enjoying it so much.” Now, Lechton is 21 and becoming a ski coach. In February, he joined the nonprofit Skiku, which taught him how to ski and has been bringing the sport to kids across Alaska. Together, he and the Skiku team traveled to several Interior villages – Grayling, Anvik, and Shageluk. The February trip culminated with a week in another community in the same region – Holy Cross, where Lechton now lives. There, he ran the show. Next winter, he will be the coach for Holy Cross kids. “They’re mostly inside, and it’d be great to get them outside and to do something outdoors, all together, as a team.” Skiku has been around for more than a decade, bringing cross-country ski coaches and equipment to kids in Alaska villages. Tyler Henegan is its executive director. He says usually, after the visit, the skis go back in the closet. Henegan says what's missing is an adult who will take kids out. “To kind of keep those four communities shredding.  In my mind, I have a Jedi Padawan situation where we can kind of have that person mentor folks out there and really kind of hope to make something a little more sustainable too, that’s really more community driven.” That is where Lechton comes in, to keep it going throughout the season. Sonta Hamilton Roach says that children in the region stay active by hauling wood and working outside, but she says they do not get many chances to try themselves in competitive sports. And Roach is happy all four villages in her area are part of this project. “We’re all the same people trying to live good, healthy, quality lives in our communities. When you really see our tribes come together, we can do cool things.” The organizers say they hope to find more residents like Lechton in each of them to keep kids skiing throughout the season.

Bama is the Nate Oats show: he wad doing efficiency before it was cool. PG Labarn Philon isn't Aden Holloway but is lengthy can can get to the basket—Nick Boyd was his #1 comp on Hoop-Explorer. Darius Acuff was on that list too. SG Latrell Wrightsell is a shooter; he was 6/9 from three vs TTU, 38% career from three, hit 45% two years ago (on a team with Sam Walters). OLD.  Wing Amari Allen is a 6'8-205 and NOT JUST A SHOOTER. The book on Allen is don't let him shoot from the left side of the arc: 47% on 47 attempts from the left wing, 4 or 10 from the corner. But 32% straightaway on 31 attempts, 24% on 46 attempts from the right side. He's just 61% at the rim. The other wing is a timeshare between a JAS, a freshman, and an Egyptian stretch four.  At center they're lacking, sorta. Aiden Sherrell is a Detroiter—Seth sent a phot of him as a recruit to Brian once—McDonald's AA—kinda reminds us of Morez. Had major struggles at the free throw line last year (46%) that he's largely fixed. Backup is... can Charles Bediako play? No? Well Bucknell transfer Noah Williamson is actually Noa Viljamsons from Latvia; he was #1 in usage and #1 in defensive rebounding in the Patriot League but severe dropoffs all over the map in their few chances against better competition.  [The rest of the writeup and the player after THE JUMP]  5. Elite Eight Preview: Iowa State or Tennessee Starts at 22:13 Iowa State spent a lot of the season on the 1-seed line. HUUUUGE loss (unless it's better than it looked) in Joshua Jefferson (KPOY #2), who's high-usage Yax and really gave ISU their identity. PG Tamin Lipsey is Tre Donaldson. Wing Milan Momcilovic is the sniper of the year. Three different SGs with three different skills, and then they have some decent but not world-beating centers. It's really about stopping Jefferson. If it's Tennessee that's an easier matchup but maybe not a great one for Michigan because Ja'Kobi Gillespie gets his own shot, Nate Ament is mini Joshua Jefferson, and they throw these huge bodies at the offensive glass. 6. Women's Basketball: First Weekend Recap and Sweet 16/Elite 8 Preview Starts at 43:47 Firsts for Michigan WBB under Kim Barnes-Arico: 2-seed, 16-win season at Crisler, 27-win season. Muppets! Rote beatdown of Holy Cross was rote; the WBB Tournament is even more chalk as the top talent is so much better than the rest. Michigan is the best of the teams that doesn't have an All-American, but some teams have multiple. NC State game was a fun matchup that Michigan took over as soon as their threes started going down. BQD-ass game where she took over at times by swarming a team that normally doesn't turn it over with the press. Looking forward: Louisville is NC State but can shoot—they're all large and can stretch, though not very quick. Laura Zeigler was the top recruit in the portal, Taj Roberts is a tall sniper, Imari Berry looks like an undead from WoW. If they get past Lville it's almost certainly going to be 1-seed Texas, which just rolled Oregon, which is a bellwether (when not in a legendarily badly officiated game). Madison Booker is WBB Yaxel, Rori Harmon is a thief, Breya Cunningham and Kyla Odacre are way bigger than anyone Michigan can put on them.

Patrick shares how to approach prayers for the Pope's intentions, and fields personal stories from callers about Catholic school discipline, from rulers, laughter, and respect. He moves between callers wrestling with faith, parish engagement, and the journey for Protestant ministers seeking ordination, drawing from memories that bounce between gentle humor and old wounds. Javier - What if the Holy Father is an anti-Pope? Will the plenary indulgence still count? (01:16) Rita - I think how Catholic schools used to operate affects why so many adults don't follow the faith: There used to be a lot of corporal punishment. (03:42) Stuart - I want to comment about being a fair-weather Catholic vs committed Catholics. Could a Protestant seminarian become a priest? (08:36) George - Regarding the sisters who taught at the elementary schools; I support the nuns. Some were overly ambitious, but on the whole, it was not like that. (20:53) Warren - I went to public School, and I got smacked and paddled. The principal owned a paddle and called it 'The Holy Ghost'. (24:21) Patrick shares some emails that have come in about getting “whacked” at school by nuns Judy – Comment on experiences in Catholic Schools regarding nuns with rulers. (28:57) Frank – Have you ever seen the Alfred Hitchcock program 'The Final Vow' about heroic sisters? Pamela – It’s good to put into consideration that there were no teacher aides and there were 50-60 kids in a classroom. The Nuns had a lot on her plate. (36:39) Jackie - The sisters that taught me were brutal. My husband didn’t have that same experience. (39:58) Mary Ann - I went through Catholic grammar school and college. Holy Cross nuns here never gave anyone a whack. They were great. (42:24) Janet (email) – What is your personal view of parishioners who fall asleep during Mass? (44:10) Frank - I like the Patrick Madrid show and am a US Marine. Sacred Heart and Franciscan nuns are the best and they prepared me for boot camp. (47:47)
