(8:26) Bible Study: Joshua 3:7-10a, 11, 13-17 God gives you not what you THINK you are praying for but what you are ACTUALLY praying for? Matthew 18:21–19:1 What does it mean to forgive? (23:55) Break 1 (26:48) Letters: What does the bible teach about being one in Christ? What was the Church back in Jesus’ time? Father answers these and other questions, send him a letter at simon@relevantradio.com (36:58) Break 2 (37:35) Word of the Day Ark (40:14) Phones: Steve - What do you think about this? About the Shroud of Turin, the burst of light being the redemption of the souls. At the instant of conception when the sperm penetrates the egg, there's a spark, and have to have right equipment to detect this light. William - Some of the Orthodox priests in Russia, is it sinful for them to support Putin, and is it wrong on my part to judge them for their support? Steve - For daily mass, have I been taught wrong on what to wear? Like wearing shorts. Clarification? Jill - Which gospel recommend starting to study on first? Philip - When did monogamy become standard?

In this second episode of the Fatima Today martyrdom series, hosted by Barb Ernster with Katie Moran, we look at “red martyrdom” giving one's life for Christ. On his feast day, we share the inspiring story of St. Maximilian Kolbe: from his childhood vision of two crowns, one white for purity and one red for martyrdom — to his brave fight against evil through his love for the Blessed Mother. You'll hear about his arrest for helping refugees, his time in Auschwitz, and the moment he offered to die in another man's place. Even in the starvation bunker, his days were filled with prayer, song, and a deep peace that only God can give. Stay tuned for the next episode — the touching story of Bl. Alexandrina da Costa, the “white martyr,” who offered her whole life to God through suffering.

Friends of the Rosary, Today is the Memorial of Saint Maximilian Kolbe (1894-1941), a martyr and priest. Born in Zdunska Wola, Poland, as Raymond Kolbe, he consecrated himself to the Lord in the Franciscan Order. Filled with love for the Virgin, he founded the Militia of the Immaculata movement of Marian consecration. To better "win the world for the Immaculata," with his preaching and writing, undertook an intense apostolic mission in Europe and Asia. Imprisoned in Auschwitz during the Second World War, he offered himself in exchange for the father of a large family who was to be executed. He was given a lethal injection on August 14, 1941. Pope John Paul II canonized Maximilian as a "martyr of charity" in 1982, proclaiming him the "Patron Saint of Our Difficult Century. Maximilian, patron of the pro-life movement, was a ground-breaking theologian. He developed the Church's understanding of Mary as a "Mediatrix" of all the graces of the Trinity and as an "Advocate" for God's people. "For Jesus Christ, I am prepared to suffer more still," he said. Also, today, on the evening of August 14, the Vigil Mass for the Assumption is celebrated.
