Cross Meets Culture: Love Thy Neighbor

Cross Meets Culture: Love Thy NeighborWelcome to the very first episode of Cross Meets Culture! This Catholic podcast is where faith and real life come together. Rooted in Christ’s command to “love thy neighbor,” we’ll explore how Catholic teaching speaks into today’s culture and challenges us to live with compassion and courage.In our debut episode, we look to Santo Toribio Romo, patron saint of migrants, as a model of faith, sacrifice, and love for others. His witness reminds us that every neighbor is a gift, and every act of welcome is an act of faith.So, how should we treat others—strangers, immigrants, and neighbors alike? With dignity, hospitality, and compassion. Scripture reminds us: “I was a stranger and you welcomed me” (Matthew 25:35). The Church calls us to see Christ in every person and to walk with those who are most vulnerable.This is just the beginning of many conversations to come—join us as we bridge faith and culture, and discover what it truly means to live the Gospel in today’s world.
