Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”Reverence feels like a relic from another time, yet its absence leaves us spiritually and relationally impoverished. Greg Schlueter, author and family movement leader, joins Jack to explore why reverence matters in an age that devalues in human life itself. The conversation takes us deep into the transformative power of reverence – not as empty ritual, but as the gateway to authentic relationship. "Our bodies, in fact our bodies alone, make visible the invisible, the spiritual and the divine," drawing from Saint John Paul II's profound theology of the body. When we genuflect, bow our heads, or dress respectfully for sacred spaces, we're not merely performing – we're allowing our physical selves to express spiritual realities.This crisis of reverence extends far beyond church walls. Our casual approach to commitments – showing up late, dismissing obligations, treating our word as provisional – reflects a deeper spiritual problem. "The enemy strikes at the heart of this by saying commitment is not sacred, it's dismissible," Greg explains. When everyday promises become optional, authentic community crumbles.Here's Gregs article: The Case for Reverence in an Age of Casualness"I Love my Family" Live it todayJack's Latest Blog: Stepping Up to True Love: The Fall and the Call to Be a Man of GodSupport the show

May is the month of Mary. In this week's episode we visit the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception to learn about the history of the month of Mary and popular Marian devotions, such as praying the rosary. The Rosary is a Scripture-based prayer. It begins with the Apostles' Creed, which summarizes the great mysteries of the Catholic faith. The Our Father, which introduces each mystery, is from the Gospels. The first part of the Hail Mary is the angel's words announcing Christ's birth and Elizabeth's greeting to Mary. St. Pius V officially added the second part of the Hail Mary. The Mysteries of the Rosary center on the events of Christ's life. There are four sets of Mysteries: Joyful, Sorrowful, Glorious and––added by Saint John Paul II in 2002––the Luminous. Learn more about how to pray rosary. https://www.usccb.org/how-to-pray-the-rosary May is also Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. In this week's episode we highlight a story out of the Diocese of Tulsa which reflects the diversity and richness of our faith! Fr. Samuel Perez, Pastor of Sacred Heart Church in Miami, Oklahoma celebrates mass every weekend in Chuukese for local Micronesian Catholics in addition to five other masses in English and Spanish. People in the pews wear brightly colored traditional clothing and hairstyles. One Micronesian family from southwest Missouri makes the almost two-hour drive to hear Scriptures, prayers and songs in Chuukese. Adding a weekly Mass in Chuukese has improved not just Mass attendance but religious education enrollment at Sacred Heart, from 30 students to 120. Baptisms are up too: Father Perez's calendar in May had 11 baptisms for members of the Micronesian community. Farming jobs attracted many of Oklahoma's Micronesian natives from the island of Chuuk in the South Pacific. For their part, the community members are grateful that Father Perez has worked to learn their language and integrate their culture into the worship experience. “It shows that he really cares,” one altar server said. Father Perez points out that he made a lot of pronunciation mistakes early on, and he's still learning. There was no textbook; he caught on by repeating words his parishioners taught him. “They were very patient with me,” he said. “My accent is thick. I don't know how much they understand me, but it looks like they're OK with it.” Father Perez wants every Catholic to feel welcome and included in their Church home. “When God calls you to be a priest, you are called to serve all people.” The Diocese of Tulsa is currently celebrating its 50th anniversary jubilee year.

Pope Tawadros II called for unity between Catholics and Copts during Pope Francis' general audience.

Friends of the Rosary,Today is the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ, also known as Corpus Christi, when we commemorate the institution of the Eucharistic sacrament and celebrate our faith in the Eucharist.Saint John Paul II reminded us, “the Church solemnly bears in procession the Eucharist, publicly proclaiming that the sacrifice of Christ is for the salvation of the whole world.”The Eucharist gives us confidence that Christ abides with us through all the sorrows of our life, sanctifying us and leading us to his presence in heaven.J.R.R. Tolkien wrote, “Out of the darkness of my life, I put before you the one great thing to love on earth: the Blessed Sacrament. There you will find romance, glory, honor, fidelity, and the true way of all your loves on earth.”Today's Solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ reflects the devotional movement on the Sacrament of the Altar. It's also a doctrinal response to heretical teaching on the mystery of the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist. It was extended to the entire Latin Church by Urban IV in 1264.In the main reading of the Gospel (Luke 9:11b–17), Christ Jesus miraculously feeds a crowd of five thousand with loaves and dried fish. He makes a meal that satisfies and gives sustenance for the day to this enormous group of tired and hungry people.Thomas Aquinas explained that the great metaphor for the Eucharist is sustenance, daily food for the journey.As the body needs physical nourishment to get us through the day-to-day,  the spirit needs spiritual nourishment.In our spiritual life, we must eat and drink, or we will not have strength.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!

Daniel Potvin is a former lumberjack turned Catholic warrior, whose conversion through suffering, Medjugorje, and the sacraments led him to found the Knights of Saint John Paul II: a bold, grassroots movement of lay Catholic men now active in 15 countries. Potvin shares his raw, inspiring story of healing, spiritual warfare, and masculine devotion rooted in the rosary, confession, Scripture, and Eucharistic adoration. From confronting demonic activity to defending families at school board meetings, the Knights are reclaiming ground for Christ, one Saturday at a time. Potvin's message is clear: Catholic men are called to fight, not with fists, but with faith.Men can also learn more about the Knights here: https://knightsofsaintjohnpaulii.org/U.S. residents!

Saint John Paul II's legacy is monumental, inside and outside the Catholic Church — one of the reasons why many think he should be officially named John Paul “the Great,” alongside Leo the Great (440-461), Gregory the Great (590-604) and Nicholas the Great (850-867). He was great, even outside the Church, because of his role in international affairs — helping catalyze the collapse of Soviet communism, resisting efforts by worldly superpowers to impose international human rights abuses, and giving hope and courage to suffering peoples everywhere. He visited 129 countries, traveling more than 700,000 miles — more than all of his predecessors combined and nearly three times the distance of a round trip to the moon.

“Healing happens organically as love is being expressed,” says Dr. Bob Schuchts of the John Paul II Healing Center    In this mini-retreat in a podcast, Dr. Bob shares how important it is to listen and be attentive to what spiritual practices the Holy Spirit is drawing you to this Lent--so the Divine Physician can bless you with healing.   As we look at our patterns of sin and chronic wounds we have carried with us for a long time, we must remember God sees us in our wholeness. And remember that we cannot fix our own brokenness; however, we can name it and bring it to Jesus for healing.    Dr. Bob shares stories, including when he had a panic attack and realized his own need for healing. As Dr. Bob engaged in the healing process, he learned that beneath his anxiety was abandonment from his parents' divorce. The pain in his heart began to heal through the love of God and he forgave his parents. Healing is a life-long journey that we all need to engage in.     Pope Benedict XVI said, “Whoever truly wishes to heal man must see him in his wholeness and must know that his ultimate healing can only be God's love.”    May we bring all of ourselves to God this Lent, to discover the healing touch of The One who loves us completely.    Learn more about Dr. Bob Schuchts, the John Paul II Healing Center and more opportunities for healing at https://jpiihealingcenter.org.
