Get Let's Talk About "It" Right HERE!Ellen discusses the concept of marital debt and the perceived obligation for married couples to have sex. She explores this in the context of Catholic teachings on attending Sunday Mass and Holy Days of Obligation. Ellen argues that the true essence of these obligations lies not in mere obedience but in a deep, life-giving desire. Just as attending Mass should stem from a genuine yearning to connect with God, marital intimacy should be driven by a desire for deep communion with one's spouse, rather than a mere sense of duty___________________________________ Did we mention a book on this week's episode?

Homily for Sunday Mass given by Fr. Dennis O'Keeffe

On this Sunday, this Easter Sunday, we remember what every Sunday is because of what happened one Sunday long ago when the mission of the Church was born in the proclamation, "The Lord is risen!"About the Speaker: Father William J Grimm is a Maryknoll Missioner of 40 year's experience in Asia-mostly Japan, Hong Kong and Cambodia.For news in and about the Church in Asia, visit www.ucanews.com  For news in and about the Church in Asia, visit www.ucanews.comTo contribute please visit www.ucanews.com/donateOn Twitter Follow Or Connect through DM at : twitter.com/ucanewsTo view Video features please visit https://www.youtube.com/@ucanews

Today is also a day of commitment to be a sign of God's love. God felt it worthwhile for Jesus to die in order that I might know love. My life is worth giving in the day-to-day as well as, if necessary, in death so that others may know that love.About the Speaker: Father William J Grimm is a Maryknoll Missioner of 40 year's experience in Asia-mostly Japan, Hong Kong and Cambodia.For news in and about the Church in Asia, visit www.ucanews.com  For news in and about the Church in Asia, visit www.ucanews.comTo contribute please visit www.ucanews.com/donateOn Twitter Follow Or Connect through DM at : twitter.com/ucanewsTo view Video features please visit https://www.youtube.com/@ucanews

Here’s the scoop from The Patrick Madrid Show when Maria from Oshkosh, Wisconsin called in with a very real Catholic dilemma. She asked: "If a job makes someone work on Sundays, is it a sin to miss Mass?""Can I just go during the week instead?" Here’s what Patrick had to say: Not a Sin If… - Your job genuinely requires Sunday work and it’s outside your control (think:

Patrick discusses theological questions like priests receiving Communion while in mortal sin and covers Russell Brand's legal troubles in the UK. Patrick explores teaching kids about the Eucharist, the essence of salvation history, and how to manage Sunday Mass obligations with work commitments. Stella (email) – I get it that priests need to distribute Communion to the laity, but why is that reason enough for them to personally receive if they are in a state of mortal sin? (00:36) Vicki - I think the UK is attacking Russel Brand because of his faith. I feel like the Vatican should speak up for him. What do you think? (08:18) Carol - How can I explain the true presence to younger kids in my catechism class without them getting squeamish? (18:43) Gabriel (9-years-old) - What should I do if I took communion with a mortal sin on my soul? (25:53) Joe - Are the Gospel’s simply the salvation story? Is the Bible just filling in the timeline? (28:10) Maria - Is it a sin to miss Mass on Sunday if your Job requires you to work weekends? Can a weekday Mass replace Sunday Mass? (38:30) Tim - I was involuntarily born but I need to use my voluntary free will to follow God. I feel like I am missing something. (42:04)

Arcand goes into the stories from the week and what they mean for the Celtics, Patriots, Red Sox and college basketball.

Attending Sunday Mass is essential in the Catholic faith, and intentionally missing Mass is a mortal sin, which requires confession before you can receive communion again. However, did you know that if you have a serious and legitimate reason for being unable to attend Mass, you can request a dispensation from your priest? Today, Fr. Mike explains that while missing Mass and requesting a dispensation should not become a regular occurrence, it is possible under certain valid circumstances. Tickets are on sale now for Fr.

A listener named Jim asks Father Dave about Sunday Mass readings during Lent. Jim says, “At Mass [on the Third Sunday of Lent], I was expecting the Gospel to be from Luke about the fig tree, but the actual Gospel that was read was from John about [the woman at the well.] Why would that change?”

On The Patrick Madrid Show, Cyra from Alberta called in with a tough but crucial question: who should she and her husband pick as legal guardians for their kids in their will? Her top choice is her sister and brother-in-law: loving, family-oriented, and nearby. But there was a hitch: they’re not practicing Catholics. Her husband, Sebastian, was especially concerned that if their kids ended up in their care, the faith might slowly fade out of their lives: not because of bad intentions, but just because, well, life happens. Cyra, on the other hand, struggled with the idea of choosing someone outside the family. Patrick’s Advice? Faith Comes First! Patrick said that faith should be the number one priority when picking guardians. Sure, family closeness and emotional stability are important, but if the guardians don’t actively practice and prioritize the Catholic faith, then there’s a real risk that the kids could drift away from it over time. Even with the best of intentions, a non-Catholic couple might start strong in raising the kids Catholic, but when it comes to the daily grind: Sunday Mass, sacraments, religious education... things could start slipping. It’s not about doubting their love, but about recognizing human nature. So, What’s the Best Plan? If Catholic family members aren’t an option, Patrick suggested looking for strong Catholic friends or community members who would make raising the kids in the faith a true priority. It’s a big decision, but ultimately, the goal is to ensure that the kids grow up knowing, loving, and practicing their Catholic faith. Get Your Will in Order, For Free! Patrick gave a super useful tip: check out CatholicLegacy.com, a free service from Relevant Radio that helps Catholics create airtight wills that align with their faith. Because let’s be real: none of us like thinking about wills, but it’s way better to be prepared than to leave things to chance. If you’re picking legal guardians, don’t just think about love and familiarity... think about who will make sure your kids get to Heaven.

If we cannot distinguish between loneliness, solitude, and isolation, we will not be able to fight against what can be a crippling source of pain. We live in a fallen world, and we must know how to identify what is merely normal human emotion, as well as lies from the Devil.
