I trust in you: strengthen my trust. I love you: let me love you more and more. I am sorry for my sins: deepen my sorrow. I worship you as my first beginning, I long for you as my last end, I praise you as my constant helper, And call on you as my loving protector. Guide me by your wisdom, Correct me with your justice, Comfort me with your mercy, Protect me with your power. I offer you, Lord, my thoughts: to be fixed on you; My words: to have you for their theme; My actions: to reflect my love for you; My sufferings: to be endured for your greater glory. I want to do what you ask of me: In the way you ask, For as long as you ask, Because you ask it. ***** Full list of guests [https://www.sacredheartradio.com/local/show-notes-for-friday-6-19-2026/] See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.

Bestow upon us also, O Lord our God, understanding to know you, diligence to seek you, wisdom to find you, and a faithfulness that may finally embrace you; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. ***** RECIPES FROM RITA: FALL-OFF-THE-BONE OVEN BAKED RIBS FOR DAD Recipe doubles or triples easily. Ingredients Ribs About 2-1/2 pounds baby back pork ribs or your favorite ribs Salt and pepper or your favorite BBQ rub BBQ sauce 1 tablespoon olive oil 1/4 cup finely diced onion 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin 1/2 cup ketchup 1 tablespoon hot chili sauce like Sriracha 2 tablespoons light brown sugar or to taste 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar Salt and ground pepper, to taste Instructions Preheat your oven to 275. Season ribs: If your ribs still have a thin membrane on the back, remove it. Generously season both sides of the ribs with salt and pepper. If using a spice rub, apply it evenly. Wrap very tightly with foil: Important so ribs don’t dry out during cooking. Place the ribs, meatiest-side down, in roasting pan. Cover tightly with aluminum foil. The ribs must be well-sealed to prevent drying out. If you’re doubling the recipe and don’t have a large enough pan, wrap the racks of ribs individually in tight foil packets and place them on the baking sheet. Bake: Bake for 2 ½ to 3 ½ hours or until meat easily falls from bones. Check after 2 hours. Ribs are ready when the meat is cooked through and very tender. It will not have gotten brown, so don’t worry. Mine took close to 3 hours. BBQ Sauce: Heat olive oil in pan over medium heat, then add onions and cook until soft. Don’t let them brown. Stir in cumin, ketchup, chili sauce, sugar and vinegar. Cook for a couple of minutes, season with salt and more of any one ingredient that you think it needs. Brush sauce onto ribs after baking: Generously brush both sides with barbecue sauce. Broil ribs: Broil on high ribs until sauce begins to caramelize, about 3 to 4 minutes. Keep a close eye on them during this step to ensure the sauce doesn’t burn. ***** Full list of guests [https://www.sacredheartradio.com/local/show-notes-for-thursday-6-18-2026/] See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.

Plus news, weather, sports, and more… ***** Prayer of St. Augustine Late have I loved you, O Beauty ever ancient, ever new, late have I loved you! You were within me, but I was outside, and it was there that I searched for you. In my unloveliness I plunged into the lovely things which you created. You were with me, but I was not with you. Created things kept me from you; yet if they had not been in you they would have not been at all. You called, you shouted, and you broke through my deafness. You flashed, you shone, and you dispelled my blindness. You breathed your fragrance on me; I drew in breath and now I pant for you. I have tasted you, now I hunger and thirst for more. You touched me, and I burned for your peace. ***** Full list of guests [https://www.sacredheartradio.com/local/show-notes-for-wednesday-6-17-2026/] See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.

Penetrate and possess our whole being, so utterly, that our lives may only be a radiance of yours. Shine through us, and be so in us, that every soul we come in contact with may feel your presence in our soul. Let them look up and see no longer us but only Jesus! Stay with us, and then we shall begin to shine as you shine; so to shine as to be a light to others. The light, O Jesus will be all from you. None of it will be ours; it will be you shining on others through us. Let us thus praise you in the way that you love best by shining on those around us. Let us preach you with preaching: not by words but by our example, by the catching force, by sympathetic influence of what we do, the evident fullness of the love our hearts bear to you. Amen. ***** Fr. Wade Menezes, author of Stand Firm, Be Strong [https://www.amazon.com/Stand-Firm-Strong-Devotional-Scripture/dp/1682784118/ref=sr_1_1?crid=XKRBR8R657Z2&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.15Cjtb4sNWMZiuacdBEKLrHrJ0gH5xKcW3aMGW1lSdOQWeH6WTzmpcZCjxoamG_pP9FrMIh64EHOkAyOLarsU5xxxacs3a03kwDsaq5pIvCpvoC3f1DL_DAvv5C_-hoA.KErQjW8Vubqc9e2tmBNRQ1DYL33UZnk1OWbexmh2dTQ&dib_tag=se&keywords=fr%2Bwade%2Bmenezes%2Bbooks&qid=1781599409&sprefix=fr%2Bwade%2Bmeneze%2Caps%2C153&sr=8-1] Danny Flynn is online at catholicliberaleducation.com.
