Podcasts about Our Lady

A woman named Lori from Lexington shares a powerful, hope-filled, and heartfelt call-to-arms for all the men out there trying to live with purity and strength in a world full of distractions. This is the kind of encouragement you’ll want to keep in your back pocket: Brothers, You Were Born for Battle Lori gets it: life is full of struggles, and custody of the eyes (aka, keeping your eyes and heart pure) is a tough one. But here’s what she says: “You were made for this battle.” Not just called to it. Not assigned it like a boring chore. You were built for it. Reframe the Fight Instead of saying, “This is too hard,” Lori wants men to think: “This is hard... because it matters. And I was made to rise to it.” You’re not fighting against women; you’re fighting for their dignity, even when they don’t realize it themselves. You’re protectors, not consumers. You’re glorious warriors, not helpless victims of temptation. “That’s Not for Me.” Lori shares how she also made the decision to divert her eyes, saying: “That’s someone else’s husband. Someone else’s son. That’s not for me.” Simple. Dignified. Beautiful. Women, Back the Men Up! She also issues a challenge to the ladies: "Pray for our men." They’re not weak. They’re not doomed to fail. They’re under attack, and they need our support as they go into the spiritual trenches every day. The Final Word: Men, You Can Do This Lori’s words are necessary. She reminds every man listening that: You’re strong. You’re capable. You’re not alone. You were made for this. With God’s help (and Our Lady’s!), you can win. So don’t give up. Don't believe the lies. Don't sit out the fight. Your sisters are praying for you. Your Church is cheering for you. And Jesus is with you.

I will give them as much as they ask for as long as it does not oppose the adorable will of my Divine Son or the sanctification of their souls. 5. I will defend them in their spiritual battles with the infernal enemy and I will protect them at every instant of their lives. 6. I will visibly help them at the moment of their death—they will see the face of their mother. 7. I have obtained this grace from my divine Son, that those who propagate this devotion to my tears and dolors will be taken directly from this earthly life to eternal happiness, since all their sins will be forgiven and my Son and I will be their eternal consolation and joy.

In these dark times, we must fight evil with the most powerful weapons we have.The Rosary is foremost among them.Join the Great Rosary Campaign today at: www.GreatRosaryCampaign.com.The Great Rosary Campaign is a yearlong mission for the conversion of cultural leaders. We will announce a weekly call to pray every Sunday for specific fallen-away Catholics and non-Catholics.THIS WEEK of the Great Rosary Campaign, in light of his declining health, we are praying for the conversion of John MacArthur, the well-known evangelical pastor and preacher. Mr. MacArthur has stood up for many good things. I greatly admired him for much of my early life. But he has also gravely misrepresented the Catholic Faith, and taught people falsehoods about it.The SUGGESTED PENANCE this week is a Holy Hour (Adoration) before the Blessed Eucharist, the communion we hope and pray for John MacArthur.Countless Saints and Popes have told us that the Rosary is incredibly powerful for three things in particular:Keeping the FaithMoral renovationConversions of non-CatholicsThe Great Rosary Campaign is also based on several biblical themes and principles.First, PRAY FOR OUR BRETHREN. “Pray for one another…” (Jas. 5:16). “So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all men, and especially to those who are of the household of faith" (Gal. 6:10).Second, PRAY FOR OUR ENEMIES. “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven" (Matt. 5:43-44).Third, PRAY FOR ALL MEN, PARTICULARLY LEADERS AND THOSE IN AUTHORITY. “First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all men, or kings and all who are in high positions…” (1 Tim. 2:1-2).Fourth, GOING INTO BATTLE WITH THE ARK. When the ancient Israelites came to Jericho, God didn't tell them to besiege the city. Instead, He told them to march around it with the Ark of the Covenant seven times, and on the seventh the walls would fall. We will now "march" in prayer for seven days with the New Ark of the Covenant, Our Lady, through the Rosary. We pray in hope that on the seventh day, a day especially devoted to Our Lady (Saturday), extraordinary graces of conversion will be given to those we are praying for.Fifth, EVANGELISM AND APOLOGETICS = LOVE + ARGUMENTS + PRAYER + PENANCE. Ultimately it is God who reveals Himself to a soul, and empowers them to say "yes" to Him by His grace. He chooses to use us, but He does not have to. We must remember that as we evangelize and defend the Faith, our arguments will be fruitless unless informed by love (charity), and reinforced by prayer and penance.Sixth, RETURNING GOOD FOR EVIL. “Do not return evil for evil, or reviling for reviling; but on the contrary bless, for to this you have been called, that you may obtain a blessing" (1 Pet. 3:9).Sign up to take part in the Great Rosary Campaign today: www.GreatRosaryCampaign.com

Want to hear how Mother Mary surprised me for my birthday this year? You know how I love to share miracle stories with you! It's so inspiring for me to hear YOUR miracle stories, but this week I have a miracle story of my own to share with you! In this episode, I share the miraculous way Mother Mary surprised me by coming to visit me for my birthday! And if that weren't miraculous enough, this is the second time She has done this! I share this true story with you to let you know that YOU can have these experiences too! How? By developing your relationship with the Divine. PS- If you want to deepen your connection with Mother Mary and have miraculous experiences like this, join the next Inner Circle!   Key Learnings: 1) I experienced my visitation with Mother Mary in 2012, but the event that preceded it was receiving a small copy of the Hawaiian Iveron Icon, Our Lady of Perpetual Healing. Two months later, Mother Mary visited me! That icon is a catalyst! 2) In 2013, the Iveron Icon was touring the US. The week of my birthday, She came to San Diego, and not just San Diego but my town in North San Diego County…and not just in my town, but across the street! 3) This year I discovered that She was on tour again, this time on the East Coast! And just as She had 12 years earlier, She came so close to my hometown for my birthday. This type of experience is a gift, but it is a gift YOU can receive as well when you open your heart to the Divine, especially to Mother Mary. “When you have a strong connection with Mother Mary, you live in a bubble of Grace, Love and Protection.”   If you want to receive monthly messages from Mother Mary, click here to join Mother Mary's Inner Circle Message Program Ready to work with a coach to manifest your dreams?  Click here to schedule a Miracle Meeting with me Click here to join the Magnify Your Miracles Membership If you love the image on the wall behind me of Mother Mary Blessing the World, you can order your own museum quality copy at www.deepaliu.com

Mother and Member: Mary and the Birth of the Church Today's Readings explore the profound mystery and significance of the Blessed Virgin Mary . . . . . . as both Mother of God and Mother of the Church, whose motherhood is unlike any other. Mary is presented by God as the answer to the fall of Eve . . . a woman who, through divine grace, gives birth to life rather than death. While Eve's disobedience ushered in sin, exile, and mortality, Mary's faithful “yes” to God ushers in the Savior and a new family of redeemed sons and daughters. At the foot of the Cross, Jesus entrusts the beloved disciple to Mary, symbolically extending her motherhood to all believers. She is the City of God, the dwelling place where God's people find spiritual refuge. Through her, by the power of the Holy Spirit, believers are adopted into divine life and the Church is born. Mary's motherhood, then, is not only physical but deeply spiritual and universal . . . she is both Mother and Member of the Church, nurturing believers toward eternal life. Listen to: Mother and Member: Mary and the Birth of the Church ------------------------------------------------------------------ A Quote from the Homily To understand Our Lady, one must be willing to pause a moment and consider a pair of impossibilities because the essence of her person, the essence of how the church celebrates her, hinges on our ability to recognize that the impossible by the working of God does in fact become possible. And one of the privileged places where that happens is the life of the blessed mother. She is mother and she is virgin. She gives birth and remains a virgin. She is perpetually virgin and yet she is gloriously mother. She is a creature and yet she bears within her womb, her creator, and brings him to human birth. A creature giving birth to her creator. A mother. And a virgin, and then mysteriously as well. Our Lady is a mother of the church. The mother of the church, and yet she's also a member of the church. Virgin and mother. Mother and member, a creature who gives birth. To her creator. Note how mysteriously wonderful. All of this is possible only because of the divine agency of Almighty God, and it is these things that are enclosed within the readings that are presented to us today on the feast day of The Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of The Church. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Pentecost: Stain Glass: The Church of St. Therese of Lisieux – Roman Catholic Parish in Montauk, New York ------------------------------------------------------------------ Gospel Reading: John 19: 25-34 First Reading: Genesis 3: 9-15, 20

What's at stake if we stay busy in church but miss our calling in the world? It's easy to think serving at church—teaching, volunteering, helping with Mass—is the main way lay people live out their faith. But here's the truth: our primary call isn't just ministry inside the Church—it's apostolate out in the world. That means bringing Jesus into your workplace, your neighborhood, and your everyday life. That's where you're meant to shine. And what's at stake? Souls. If we don't take time to discern our apostolate, some of the people God placed in our path may never encounter Him. This isn't just about filling time—it's about stepping into the mission only you can fulfill. The Church needs you. And the world desperately needs Jesus. Tune in for a powerful conversation with Fr. Andrew Mattingly, who tells us that sometimes, reaching the world means cutting back on “good” church programs—because when a parish is over-programmed, it can pull focus from the real mission. But when we zero in on what actually forms people for their apostolate, we gain clarity, energy, and fruitfulness. It's not about doing more. It's about doing what matters most.

Friends of the Rosary,Today is the Feast Day of St. Anthony of Padua (1195-1231), also known as St. Anthony of Lisbon, one of the most popular saints in the Church, patron of lost objects, the poor, and various other causes.Born in Lisbon, Portugal, he was a forceful and eloquent preacher with a penetrating power of conviction.Pope Gregory IX called him the Arca Testamenti, meaning "the living repository of the Holy Scripture," and Pope Pius XII proclaimed him a Doctor of the Church.Because of his success in converting heretics, he was called the "Hammer of Heretics," and because of his learning, St. Francis himself appointed him a teacher of theology.St. Anthony became associated with Padua because he made this city his residence and the center of his preaching mission.From the day of his death in Padua in 1231, at the age of 36, he was invoked as a wonderworker, with numerous miracles attributed to him.Considering the crucified Lord, Anthony writes: “Christ, who is your life, is hanging before you, so that you may look at the cross as in a mirror. There you will be able to know how mortal were your wounds, that no medicine other than the Blood of the Son of God could heal…. Nowhere other than looking at himself in the mirror of the cross can man better understand how much he is worth.”On a day like this in 1917, when the feast of St. Anthony of Lisbon was celebrated — and it was the children's feast in Portugal — Our Lady of Fatima appeared to the three shepherds for the second time. The Holy Virgin gave us the Fatima prayer:"I want you to come here on the thirteenth of next month. I want you to continue saying the Rosary every day. And after each one of the mysteries, my children, I want you to pray in this way: O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fire of hell. Take all souls to heaven, especially those who are most in need. I want you to learn to read and write, and later I will tell you what else I want of you."She also said,"Jesus wishes also for you to establish devotion in the world to my Immaculate Heart."Sor Lucia related the scene this way,"In front of the palm of Our Lady's right hand was a heart encircled with thorns which appeared to pierce it. We understood that it was the Immaculate Heart of Mary that was offended by the sins of mankind, craving reparation."The apparition then concluded as on the first occasion, with the Lady going off toward the east and disappearing in the "immensity of heaven." Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!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!

6/11/25 - This is the astonishing true story of Blessed Bartolo Longo (1841–1926), a man who descended into darkness as a satanic priest during his years as a law student in Naples—but who was rescued by divine grace and became one of the Church's most fervent promoters of the Holy Rosary. Raised in a devout Catholic family, Bartolo fell away from the faith during his university studies, swept up in the anti-clerical, occult movements of his time. He was ordained a satanic priest and suffered severe depression, paranoia, and spiritual torment. But through the prayers of his family and the guidance of a Dominican priest, Fr. Alberto Radente, Bartolo experienced a miraculous conversion. Devoting his life to penance and reparation, Bartolo dedicated himself to Mary under the title of Our Lady of the Rosary. He helped rebuild the faith of an entire region by bringing the Rosary to the poor in Pompeii, where he founded the now world-famous Shrine of Our Lady of the Rosary of Pompeii. He also established schools, orphanages, and legal aid for the poor—all as acts of penance and service. Pope John Paul II beatified him in 1980, calling him the “Man of Mary” and a “true lay apostle of the Rosary.”

I'm not crazy. I know that the Holy Spirit put this remedy in front of me. My doctor said congratulations, but he could not talk about it and that I am not the only one. ---------- Hi! Trapper Jack here. On this Pentecost Sunday, we're reminded that the Holy Spirit is anything but subtle. Kimberlie—Berlie to her friends—was given only months to live. Cancer had taken over. But God had another plan. In a world that often seems too comfortable with the idea that cancer is untouchable and expensive, something miraculous began to unfold. Berlie heard a voice, telling her she would be healed. A return to Catholic Mass after years away brought her face to face with Jesus, led by Our Lady. More divine breadcrumbs followed—signs, songs bubbling up from nowhere, and supernatural confirmations. And then there was the “treatment.” Like other medications originally intended for something entirely different (Botox, Rogaine, Ozempic, etc.), this medication wasn't even made for human use! Is God showing us something extraordinary in stories like Berlie's? On this birthday of the Church, maybe the Holy Spirit is shouting. ---------- Share Your Story If you have a Touched by Heaven moment that you would like to share with Trapper, please leave us a note at https://touchedbyheaven.net/contact Our listeners look forward to hearing about life-changing encounters and miraculous stories every week.
