May Your Son, the Eternal Word, be glorified through this great work of Your Hands. Bless all the programs that will issue forth from its facilities. Just as Your Word issues forth from You, Lord Father, may that same Word touch each heart that listens to this network.

Bestow upon this network the power to inspire men to seek holiness of heart, zeal for the extension of Your Church, courage to seek after justice and human rights, and patience to endure persecution. May Your Paternal blessing always rest upon it. Amen. ***** A Baseball Prayer God grant me wisdom, to tell a strike from a ball, to know where to throw and never to fall. Keep me on the baseline, running straight and true and I’ll look for your sign, to stretch one into two. God give me vision, to see every pitch, and if a player needs help, then I will see which. Let me always hustle, so I’ll be at my best and take pride in myself, in sports, and the rest. God be my strength, when I throw the ball when I’m far from home plate or against a wall. So I never miss a base, God, please guide my feet, bring me home safely, so my job is complete. When I help younger players, let me always give praise, so they’ll see You in me, in all my ways. God please guide our coach, to be fair and smart, to teach us to be good, let it come from his heart. Let me take a loss, just as well as a win, to do any less is surely a sin. As long as I play, let me make my parents proud, as proud as I am, when they yell MY name out loud. However my games end, let me always have fun and if Heaven has All Stars, I want to be one. When my games here are over and my seasons are done, let me play on Your team, God, Just like your Son. ***** RECIPES FROM RITA: Chicken Tinga with Lime Crema and Blistered tortillas Ingredients:1 medium yellow or white onion, chopped – 1 good cup2 cloves garlic, minced, or more to taste1/3 cup chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (about 3 peppers)1 teaspoon dried oregano3/4 teaspoon ground cumin, or more to taste3/4 cup fire roasted tomatoes, crushed, or more to taste1/4 to 1/2 cup chicken brothSalt to tasteShredded cooked chicken – about 4 cups8 six inch tortillas, flour or corn Filling InstructionsFilm a skillet with olive oil over medium heat.Add onion and cook until fairly translucent.Stir in garlic and cook a minute or so.Stir in chipotles in adobo. Start with half of the amount, and then after cooking, add more if you like since these are pretty hot.Add oregano, cumin, tomatoes and broth. Start with 1/4 cup broth and add more at the end if mixture is too thick. Bring to a boil, then to a simmer and cook about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.Pour mixture into blender. Careful now, mixture is hot and tends to spatter upwards. I place a paper towel on the top. Blend until smooth.Taste and add more chipotles in adobo if you like.Put blended sauce back into the pan, then stir in chicken and cook over low heat until chicken is hot and well coated, about 5 minutes or so.Add more broth if you like – I usually don’t since we like a thicker Tinga. Tortilla Instructions:Easy peasy: turn burner on stove to medium, then place tortilla on top, turning after a few seconds to blister it a bit. I used flour tortillas but you can use corn tortillas. Don’t linger while blistering the tortillas as they will get dry fairly quick. Lime crema:1 cup sour cream1 cup mayonnaiseChipotles in adobo, to taste (puree first)Lime juice to tasteSalt to tasteChopped parsley – optional Instructions:Just mix everything together. More garnishes:Chopped cabbage, guacamole or avocado, fresh cilantro, green or red onion or onion chives, crumbled Cotija cheese or Mexican blend cheese To serve:Top tortillas with chicken and garnish as desired.

They do lend a briny, sort of salty flavor which we love. Ingredients: Spaghetti 1/2 pound whole-wheat or regular spaghettiSeveral handfuls fresh baby spinach leaves, arugula, mixed greens – whatever – a good two cups or so 1 large clove garlic, minced2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil plus more for drizzling1-2 teaspoons dried basil 2-3 tablespoons lemon juice 1-3 tablespoons capers, rinsed – I used a generous 1 tablespoon and smooshed them down a bit1/2 teaspoon ea salt and pepper, plus more for seasoning Fish 1 tablespoon olive oil3-4 (4-ounce) pieces salmon For garnish: toasted bread crumbs and Parmesan Instructions Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 to 10 minutes. Right before it’s done, stir in greens to let them wilt a little bit. Now while the pasta is cooking, in a large bowl, stir together minced garlic, olive oil, basil, capers and lemon juice. Set aside until pasta is done. Meanwhile, cook the salmon. Drizzle a tablespoon of olive oil into a nonstick pan and get it hot over medium heat. Season fish to taste, then cook a couple minutes or so on each side – it won’t take long to cook. I usually let it cook to what I call the “cook line” before turning – look at the side of the fish and when it’s cooked halfway up, then turn. Don’t overcook!! After pasta is done, drain – just use tongs to pull the pasta and greens out of the water and let a little water cling to it – helps moisten the sauce. Put in large bowl, then add the garlic, olive oil, basil, capers and lemon juice. Toss and add salt and pepper. Drizzle with a bit more oil. Put on plates and serve salmon on top. Sprinkle with toasted bread crumbs and Parmesan. How to toast bread crumbs: Just heat a tiny bit of butter or olive oil in a skillet, stir in fresh bread crumbs until golden, stirring all the while. This only takes a couple of minutes. ***** Brady Stiller, author of Your Life is a Story Full list of guestsSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

And not to hang upon the blast of men’s mouths. To be content to be solitary. Not to long for worldly company, little and little utterly to cast off the world, and rid my mind of all the business thereof. Gladly to be thinking of God, piteously to call for His help, to lean unto the comfort of God, busily to labor to love Him. To have continually in mind the passion that Christ suffered for me; for His benefits incessantly to give Him thanks. To think my most enemies my best friends, for the brethren of Joseph could never have done him so much good with their love and favor as they did him with their malice and hatred. ***** Joseph Rule, author of Giovanni and the Fava Beans Full list of guestsSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

All for Jesus, all for Mary, all to imitate thee, O patriarch St. Joseph! This shall be my motto for life and eternity. Amen. ***** RECIPES FROM RITA: SLOW COOKER MAC AND CHEESE 1 pound elbow macaroni or your favorite short pasta. 4 cups/1 pound sharp cheddar cheese 2-1/2 cups whole milk and 1/2 cup heavy cream (or sub in all milk) 1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) butter 1 teaspoon salt or to taste 1/2 teaspoon black pepper or to taste 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder – optional but good – we like it To give it a kick – couple shakes cayenne powder or flakes. I usually add this after macaroni & cheese has finished cooking, so that I can scoop out some macaroni & cheese before adding it for those who don’t like heat. Instructions Cook macaroni per package instructions for al dente BUT make sure not to overcook the pasta, as it will cook more once placed in the slow cooker. Spray slow cooker with cooking spray or use a cooking bag. Turn on low and set timer for 2-1/2 hours then add the macaroni to the cooker. Add milk and cream to macaroni and stir to combine. Reserve 1-1/2 cups cheese for the last part of the recipe. Add the remaining cheese (2-1/2 cups) to cooker and stir. Add butter, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to the macaroni and stir to combine. Place the lid on cooker and continue to cook for two hours on low, stirring occasionally. After the 2 hour mark, add the reserved cheese over the top of the macaroni and place the lid back on the slow cooker. Cook the mac and cheese for an additional 15 minutes or so just until the cheese has melted. Now stir in red pepper. Keep on warm setting until ready to serve. Tips: Can I use different cheese to make the recipe? American cheese and Velveeta cheese. They melt really well, and you end up with a very creamy cheese sauce. For a spicier flavor, use pepper jack cheese. You can also add a little parmesan cheese (or Romano) to give mac and cheese a little boost of flavor. Can I add other ingredients to the mac and cheese? How about broccoli or peas? Cook them before adding at the last minute. ***** Brady Stiller, author of Your Life is a Story: GK Chesterton and the Paradox of Freedom Full list of guestsSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It doesn't happen to everyone, but it's happened to enough people to warrant a discussion: Why do so many people who come from Evangelical backgrounds feel drawn to explore history and liturgy through the Anglican tradition? And why do so many of those same people feel ultimately drawn to the Catholic Faith? Matt Swaim talks to Andrew Petiprin, who grew up Evangelical, became an Anglican priest, and then later entered the Catholic Church. They discuss some of the themes that commonly come up for people who travel this specific path of faith, and how now as Catholics they look back on appreciation for the Evangelical and Anglican ideas and spirituality that helped to form them.
