Friends of the Rosary,Today, October 2, the Church celebrates the Memorial of the Holy Guardian Angels.Today's feast appeared in Spain during the sixteenth century as an invitation to pray to our guardian angels, and it was extended to the universal Church one century later.It's a truth of our faith that the moment of conception, when the soul is infused, a personal guardian angel is assigned to each person, with the mission of watching over him and helping to attain salvation.This protection continues throughout our earthly life. The guardian angel accompanies our soul to purgatory or heaven, and becomes our coheir in the heavenly kingdom.Guardian angels are servants and messengers from God — "Angel" in Greek means messenger.These spirits guide us to heaven only if we desire it. Because, as St. Thomas Aquinas wrote, angels cannot act directly upon our will or intellect.They protect us from physical danger in unseen ways, assist us in our work and studies, and help us resist temptation.From the Gospel of today's liturgy, we read: "See that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that their angels in heaven always look upon the face of my heavenly Father" (Matthew 18:10).We are invited to cherish a reverence for our guardian angel, not doubting his presence because we do not see him.These spirits — a kind of trustworthy, intelligent, and strong bodyguards — are sent by the Father to be our protectors and our guides. We follow and remain close to them, to dwell in the protection of the Most High.As St. Bernard of Clairvaux wrote, “Call out to him and say: Lord, save us, we are perishing.”And, by the way, the Mother Church discourages the practice of assigning names to the Holy Angels, except in the cases of Gabriel, Raphael, and Michael, whose names are contained in Holy Scripture.The prayer to the guardian angels has been present in the Church since at least the beginning of the 12th century:Angel of God,my Guardian dear,to whom His lovecommits me here,ever this daybe at my side,to light and guard,to rule and guide.Amen.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!

OVERCOMING 5 OBSTACLES TO EXTRAORDINARY PRAYER | + Discussion on Charlie Kirk Effect, 40 Days for Life at the Abortuary, Toledo Walk for Vocations & “Triumph of the Heart” Movie (Ep. 482)In this episode, Greg and Stephanie continue reflecting on the Charlie Kirk effect—what his life and tragic death reveal about the wounds of our culture and the urgency of living faith boldly. We share our privilege of viewing Triumph of the Heart, a powerful new film on St. Maximilian Kolbe, and recount the second annual Toledo Vocation Walk, where three priests trekked 70 miles in four days as a witness of prayer and sacrifice. We also speak from the front lines of 40 Days for Life in Toledo, standing in prayer before the abortuary, interceding for mothers, fathers, and children.From there, we open the Gospel for this Sunday and dive into the theme: Obstacles to Extraordinary Prayer. Christ prayed with a depth that was more than words—it was intimate communion with the Father. That same extraordinary prayer is available to us, but so often we are blocked by distractions, wounds, transactional thinking, fear of vulnerability, and forgetfulness of eternity. Each obstacle comes with its own whispered lie, and each can be overcome by grace, Scripture, and concrete practices.Join us as we name five common obstacles that keep us from deep prayer and uncover the steps to overcome them, so our marriages, families, and homes can be resuscitated by the living presence of God.Timely other Links:My Crisis Magazine article today: ⁠America at the Edge of Awakening: Faith, Disorder, and the Forgiveness That Could Save a Republic⁠Worship Song: ⁠Over the Storm (A Tribute to Charlie Kirk)⁠My book, our present-day plight, predicting so much of all this nearly 2 years ago: ⁠The Magnificent Piglets of Pigletsville⁠This is not a time to sit back.

HOLY REVOLUTION: The Charlie Kirk Effect (Ep. 481)This week we take you to one of the most consequential moments in modern American history — the Charlie Kirk memorial, a moment that felt like a modern-day “shot heard round the world.” I (Greg Schlueter) was there in Phoenix with 200,000, joined by more than 100 million streaming globally. Together, with John Sherman who was with me, we recount how epic this moment was: a spark, a flame, igniting revolution.From the stage came some of the most powerful leaders in the world, united in acknowledging the foundational necessity of faith in Jesus Christ — not as ornament, but as the center. The crescendo of it all: Erika Kirk's extraordinary witness, forgiving the man who killed her husband, and calling us to arms of love that alone can transform the world.John and I share our stories and experiences, and after John departed for another interview, Stephanie and I unpacked seven strong takeaways from the memorial — seven turning points to ensure this is not another fleeting moment, but the awakening of a people to the power of the Holy Spirit poured out, and the call to truly live it.Timely other Links:My Crisis Magazine article today: America at the Edge of Awakening: Faith, Disorder, and the Forgiveness That Could Save a RepublicIRLive last week: Seven Turning Points for AmericaWorship Song: Over the Storm (A Tribute to Charlie Kirk)My book, our present-day plight, predicting so much of all this nearly 2 years ago: The Magnificent Piglets of PigletsvilleThis is not a time to sit back.

7 Turning Points for America: A Tribute to Charlie Kirk (Ep. 480)The assassination of Charlie Kirk on September 10, 2025, is more than a tragedy—it is a Turning Point. Like St. Paul, Kirk lived boldly, proclaiming Gospel truth in the public square and calling a generation to courage. In this episode of IGNITE Radio Live, we remember his life and witness, share stories of lives changed, an impactful homily by Fr. Jonathan Wilson on the deeper meaning of this moment. We unpack Seven Turning Points for America—from narrative to truth, from positions to persons, from comfort to courage, from media manipulation to discernment, from mourning to mission, from sin's chains to confession's freedom, and from the sidelines to Spirit-filled action. We also share a powerful new tribute song honoring Kirk's legacy: Over the Storm (A Tribute to Charlie Kirk).This is not a time to sit back. It is a call to rise, to live IT in our homes and families, and to bear witness to Christ in the storm.God is calling. His grace is waiting.

Friends of the Rosary,Today, September 14, is the feast of the exaltation of the Holy Cross, the glorious sign of our victory.This day is also called the Triumph of the Cross, Elevation of the Cross, or Holy Cross Day. The Mother Church sings of the triumph of the Cross, the instrument of our redemption.Observed in Rome since the seventh century, this feast commemorates the recovery by St. Helena of the Holy Cross, placed on Mount Calvary, and later returned to Jerusalem by Emperor Heraclius in 629.The cross was a terrifying instrument of death and capital punishment in Greco-Roman times, reserved for those who undermined the authority of the Roman state. But the Resurrection of Christ through the strange providence of God made the cross the instrument of our salvation when we pass from death to life.Jesus showed this by comparing his crucifixion to the bronze serpent. After Israel had sinned in the desert, God punished the people with deadly serpents. Yet when they repented and he showed them mercy, he did not take away the serpents. Instead, he erected an image of that punishment. If a bitten Israelite looked upon a bronze serpent, he would live."For just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, so that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life.”Similarly, Adam's sin and our personal sins merit death. But we fix our eyes on the crucified Lord who was “obedient unto death, even death on a cross.”To follow Christ, we must take up His cross, follow Him, even if it means death on the cross. We identify with Christ on the Cross and become co-redeemers, sharing in His cross.The liturgy in today's Mass is triumphant. When Moses lifted up the bronze serpent over the people, it was a foreshadowing of the salvation through Jesus when He was lifted up on the Cross.We continue praying for Charlie and Erika Kirk and their two children.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 York• ⁠September 14, 2025, Today's Rosary on YouTube | Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET

What we exalt, we become.

His grace is waiting.

Delivered by Father Peter Tukan, SDB from Salesian Don Bosco Gerak in the Diocese of Labuan Bajo, Indonesia. Deuteronomy 26: 16-19; Rs psalm 119: 1-2.4-5.7-8; Matthew 5: 43-48HOLY PEOPLE The theme for our meditation today is: Holy People. InSunday school, the teacher asked the children in this way: "What is thepurpose of God to help and care for His people?" The children's answerswere varied. Some said that the goal is to save more people. Others said thatpeople should be happy and happier. And others said that God should show thatHis love is great. The teacher who was also the catechist of the localparish ultimately concluded that all the answers were correct. The basis forthis teaching certainly because God wants goodness and truth to be on the humanside. For God's own part, there is no longer a need to make Him better and morerighteous. On the contrary, God wants us mortal humans to become better andmore righteous. According to the Gospel of Matthew today, the Lord Jesus wantsus to be a holy people, or to be perfect like the heavenly Father who is everperfect in eternity. In fact, God helps and cares for us from birth untilwe leave this world at the time of death, the purpose is for us to become holy.He entrusts us to live temporarily in this world. While in this world, each ofus with our own age limit, walks and live together under His holy light. Thisexplanation is manifested in various types. The word of God is a sacred Word. We experience theexpression of God's Word through preaching, spiritual reading, spiritual adviceor guidance, sharing the message of the scriptures, and worship. The servicesof the Church both in sacramental and non-sacramental forms and works of loveare also noble and holy deeds. The Church as the body and Jesus Christ as herHead are holy. The callings such as consecrated life, priesthood and marriageare sacred. The holy names that are attached to each of us are holy. In short,God has provided all the holy ways, means, and works to help us become holyjust as He is. The ordination of believers to be one holy people hasbeen done by the Lord God since the time of Moses, because the elect must beset aside so that His great promise of the coming of the Messiah, Jesus Christ,to be realized. The book of Deuteronomy confirms this, to remind us of our dignityas God's holy people, through our Mother Church. However, God's holy people asan institution does not automatically guarantee that every individual member isholy. For everyone has sin, and the Church always provides an instrument forthe remission of everyone's sins. In this Lenten season, let us make use ofthat instrument.Let us pray. In the name of the Father... O Lord, may weremain diligent and faithful in living our respective sacred callings. OurFather who art in heaven ... In the name of the Father...

Send us a messageIn Chapter 17 of the Book of Revelation, we are introduced to the Harlot who ridesthe Beast, and in verses 3-5, we read the description of her as seen through the eyes of John the Apostle. The majority of Prophecy teachers and scholars who have sought the Holy Spirit's wisdom in Truth, believe that this Harlot is the Mother Church of Rome that is drawing every other false way into the Babylon Mystery Religion of the Antichrist - through her ecumenical seductions. In “The Promised Golden Age & The Coming One World Religion,” we take a penetrating look into the many religious interfaith endeavors that serve her in her seductions, and how she is almost ready to take her place next to the Antichrist as his darkened Bride.Support the showVisit our website: https://agapelightministries.com/

The Angel Gabriel's next stop is an obscure town in Northern Judea to announce the birth of the messiah to a young Jewish Virgin. This scene has shaped the imagination and liturgy of the Church in profoundly positive and harmful ways. Mary, the God-bearer, is a picture of Mother Church and the true Christian; favored of God, thoughtful, obedient, believing, worshipful and a faithful follower of God's word. Sermon Text: Luke 1:26-38

This week Reid and Dan Isbell host Grand Ole Opry Member and Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame Member, Terri Clark, out in God's Country. Dan immediately dives in on the hot take of how terrible it is to host a kid's birthday party during deer season, even though he's guilty of doing it in September. Terri shares her love of northern pike fishing, bass fishing, and how much more fun touring is when there is a good lake near the venue. They all discuss the current landscape of country music, specific to females on the charts and how much different it was when Terri was coming up in the industry. She harmonizes with the guys singing one of her massive hits and we're still crying with her over her "One That Got Away."

It seems to me that we have a few ways in which we receive revelation from our blessed Trinity: Direct communion, Scripture, & Mother Church. I feel an emphasis on mother church in these days, maybe especially for those of us who haven't valued her as we should. Of course all authentic revelation must come in the sacred heart and Spirit of the testimony of Jesus. Much to discuss!

fWotD Episode 2632: John D. Whitney Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.The featured article for Friday, 19 July 2024 is John D. Whitney.John Dunning Whitney (July 19, 1850 – November 27, 1917) was an American Catholic priest and Jesuit who became the president of Georgetown University in 1898. Born in Massachusetts, he joined the United States Navy at the age of sixteen, where he was introduced to Catholicism by way of a book that accidentally came into his possession and prompted him to become a Catholic. He entered the Society of Jesus and spent the next twenty-five years studying and teaching mathematics at Jesuit institutions around the world, including in Canada, England, Ireland, and around the United States in New York, Maryland, Boston, and Louisiana. He became the vice president of Spring Hill College in Alabama before being appointed the president of Georgetown University.During his three-year tenure, a number of improvements were made to the campus, including the completion of Gaston Hall and the construction of the entrances to Healy Hall. The Georgetown University Hospital and what would become the School of Dentistry were also established. After the end of his term, he went to Boston College for several years as treasurer before doing pastoral work in Philadelphia, Brooklyn, and Baltimore, where he became the prefect of St. Ignatius Church. He continued to spend time at Boston College, where he died in 1917.John Dunning Whitney was born on July 19, 1850, in Nantucket, Massachusetts. Descending from a prominent family, his father was Thomas G. Whitney and his mother was Esther A. Whitney née Dunning. Esther was a devout Congregationalist and John was raised in that faith. He was sent to several public and private schools, including Nantucket High School, before entering the United States Navy in 1866. While serving as a lieutenant aboard the schoolship USS Mercury, he had a religious conversion experience.Aboard the Mercury, he would often discuss religion with a shipmate, who argued that none of the Protestant churches were the one true church, and that either the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints or the Catholic Church was the true church. Whitney was also able to compare the different practices of the Protestant and Catholic chaplains aboard the ship. His conversations with his shipmate convinced Whitney to consider "the claims of the Catholic church". In August 1870, the Mercury was in Newport, Rhode Island, to attend the America's Cup. The captain invited a newlywed Catholic couple aboard to return to New York City from the yacht races. While sailing through the Long Island Sound, the bride dropped a book overboard, and the executive officer had a dinghy lowered into the water to retrieve it. After disembarking in New York, the bride left the book behind, which Whitney discovered to be The Invitation Heeded: Reasons for a Return to Catholic Unity by James Kent Stone, who later became a Passionist priest known as Father Fidelis; the book was written in response to Pope Pius IX's call for all Christians to return to the Mother Church.Having read the book repeatedly, he approached one of the ship's chaplains, Dominic Duranquet, a Jesuit, and declared that if its contents were true, then he must become a Catholic. After being instructed to pray and study further, he requested to be received into the Catholic Church, with Stone as his godfather. On November 2, 1870 (All Souls' Day), Whitney was conditionally baptized by Duranquet in the Church of St. Paul the Apostle in New York City.Whitney entered the Society of Jesus on August 14, 1872, in the Sault-au-Récollet neighborhood of Montreal, Canada, where he remained for two years. He went to Manresa House in the Roehampton district of London, England, in 1875 to study rhetoric for a year, and then to Stonyhurst College in Lancashire for three years to study philosophy. He taught mathematics for a year before returning to the United States in 1880, where he continued to teach mathematics at St. Francis Xavier College in New York City for four years.In 1884, he went to Woodstock College in Maryland to study theology. The following year, he was sent to Mobile, Alabama, where he was ordained a priest on August 15, 1885. He began teaching mathematics in 1886 at Spring Hill College, and eventually became vice president of the school. After four years at Spring Hill College, he went to Ireland in 1890, where he studied theology at Milltown Park in Dublin, before returning to Roehampton for his tertianship in 1892.Whitney then returned to the United States, and began teaching mathematics at St. Charles College in Grand Coteau, Louisiana, from 1893 to 1895. He was transferred to the College of the Immaculate Conception in New Orleans in 1897, and then to St. John's College in The Bronx, later known as Fordham University.Whitney was appointed president of Georgetown University on July 3, 1898, succeeding J. Havens Richards. During his presidency, a number of improvements to the campus were made. The Georgetown University Hospital was opened and the first patient was accepted. Gaston Hall was decorated and completed in 1901. That year, the university also received a donation from Anthony A. Hirst, a wealthy resident of Philadelphia and alumnus of Georgetown College and Law School, to construct Hirst Library inside Healy Hall. The main and center entrances to Healy Hall were completed, walkways were paved, and several campus buildings were renovated, including Dahlgren Chapel.In 1901, Whitney convinced the faculty of the School of Medicine to reconsider the proposal of a local dentist, W. Warrington Evans, to absorb his Washington Dental College as a department of the medical school, a proposal he had been tendering to the university since 1870. The medical faculty accepted the arrangement in May 1901, and the Washington Dental College became a department in late July. It would eventually become the university's School of Dentistry.On May 14, 1901, the university hosted Archbishop Sebastiano Martinelli, the Apostolic Delegate to the United States, upon his elevation to the College of Cardinals. The grand reception in Healy Hall was attended by the students and faculty in their academic regalia, as well as many dignitaries, including the Secretary of War Elihu Root, all the justices of the Supreme Court of the United States, all the justices of the federal District of Columbia Court of Appeals (later renamed to a circuit court), most of the foreign ambassadors to the United States, many military and naval commanders, and the faculties of other local universities. While Whitney was popular with the students, the Jesuit provincial superior decided not to renew his term as president, believing he had placed too much emphasis on athletics and was spendthrifty. Whitney's tenure as president came to an end on July 11, 1901, and he was succeeded by Jerome Daugherty.Following the end of his presidency at Georgetown, Whitney became the treasurer of Boston College in 1902 and held this post until 1907. While in Massachusetts, he also worked closely with the Sisters of the Good Shepherd, a female religious order. He then left Boston to take up ministry at St. Joseph's Church in Philadelphia, before becoming the prefect of St. Ignatius Church in Baltimore in August 1909. He succeeded Francis X. Brady, who left to become president of Loyola College in Maryland, and Whitney was stationed at St. Ignatius for the remainder of his life.While at St. Ignatius, he directed the sodality of St. Ignatius Church, which administered the W. G. Read Mullan Scholarship. He spent the year of 1912 in Brooklyn, away from his parish. In May 1916, his health began to deteriorate, and he spent part of 1917 at Boston College in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts, where he died on November 27 of that year. His funeral was held in the Church of the Immaculate Conception in Boston and he was buried at the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Massachusetts.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:33 UTC on Friday, 19 July 2024.For the full current version of the article, see John D.

Reedy Chapel, located at 20th Street and Broadway in Galveston, is a historic church that played a role in the announcement of the Emancipation Proclamation in Texas on June 19, 1865, a date now celebrated as Juneteenth. Established in 1848 and known as the "Mother Church of Texas," it became the first African Methodist Episcopal Church in the state and hosted the first two annual conferences of the AME Church. Despite being rebuilt after the Great Fire of 1885 and damaged by the 1900 storm, Reedy Chapel remains an active community space and houses one of the oldest pipe organs in Texas.Galveston Unscripted What is Galveston Unscripted?Follow Galveston Unscripted on Spotify or Apple Podcasts!

This week, Kelly and John talk to Dr. Nicole Symmonds, who works as an Assistant Professor of Christian Ethics and, it happens, used to work a few cubicles down from John at Beliefnet a decade and a half or so ago. Dr. Symmonds' work sits at the intersection of Christian ethics and women, gender, and sexuality studies. She explores Black women's embodiment, particularly the practices of liberative embodiment they craft as a method of resistance to domination and as a simulation of freedom. Dr. Symmonds identifies as Black Catholic, a religious tradition that follows the rite of the Roman Catholic Church but is driven by the spirit of Blackness in all its forms according to Black people's diasporic origins and heritage. She is a parishioner at Our Lady of Lourdes, the Mother Church of African-American Catholics in the Archdiocese of Atlanta. In this episode, she discusses her work studying evangelicals and anti-sex-trafficking work, becoming a Black Catholic, TikTok, and why she emphasizes the term "womanism" in her studies.` She is on Twitter @nicole_symmonds

Lord Jesus Christ, Our God and Saviour, You are the Head of the Church, Your spotless Bride and Mystical Body. Look mercifully upon the profound distress to which Our Holy Mother Church has been subjected. Doctrinal confusion, moral abomination, and liturgical abuse have, in our day, reached an unprecedented height. “The heathens have come into your inheritance, having defiled your holy temple, and laid Jerusalem in ruins” (Ps 79:1). Churchmen who have lost the true Faith and become promoters of a worldly globalist agenda, are intent on changing Your truths and Commandments, the Divine Constitution of the Church, and the Apostolic tradition. O Lord, with humble spirit and contrite heart we beseech You, prevent the enemies of the Church from exulting in a victory over the authentic Catholic Church obtained by imposing a counterfeit church under the guise of “synodality.” Stir up Your power, O Lord, and come to the aid of Your Church with Your almighty strength. For where sin and apostasy in the Church abounds, the victory of Your grace will abound the more. We firmly believe that the gates of Hell will not prevail against Your Church. In this hour, in which our beloved and holy Mother Church is suffering her Golgotha, we promise to remain with her. Graciously accept our interior and exterior sufferings, which we humbly offer in union with the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Mother of the Church, as a reparation for our own sins and for the sins of sacrilege and apostasy within the Church. O Lord, send forth your Holy Angels under the command of Saint Michael the Archangel, to bring your heavenly light to the Pope and synod participants, and to frustrate the plans of your enemies within the synod assembly. O Lord, look mercifully upon the little ones in the Church, look upon the hidden souls who sacrifice themselves for the Church, look upon all the tears, sighs and supplications of the true children of the Church, and through the merits of the Immaculate Heart of Your Most Holy Mother, arise, O Lord, and by Your intervention grant Your Church holy shepherds who, imitating Your example, will give their lives for You and Your sheep. O Lord, we beseech You: Through the Blessed Virgin Mary, grant us a holy Pope, zealous in promoting and defending the Catholic Faith, we implore You, grant it! Through the Blessed Virgin Mary, grant us holy and intrepid bishops, we implore You, grant it! Through the Blessed Virgin Mary, grant us holy priests, who are men of God, we implore You, grant it! In You, O Lord, we rest our hope: let us never be put to shame. To You, O Lord Jesus Christ, be given all honour and glory in Your Holy Church. You live and reign with the Father in the unity of the Holy Spirit: God, forever and ever. Amen.   September 29, 2023 + Athanasius Schneider

Greg is BACK and fills us in about the Tennessee-ness of it all while Emma tells the story of the haunted Ryman Auditorium.
