What is Homeopathy & The Hidden Power of Divine Creation (with Sylvia Dorham)

Top 5 Feast Days to Live Liturgically in JUNE

June in the Catholic Church is rich with Eucharistic beauty, Sacred Heart devotion, Marian tenderness, and saints who point us toward Christ. In this episode of Living LIT, we journey through five powerful June feast days—Corpus Christi, the Sacred Heart of Jesus, the Immaculate Heart of Mary, the Nativity of St. John the Baptist, and St. Peter & St. Paul—exploring not only what the Church celebrates, but how we can live these feasts LITurgically within the little church we call home. Together we reflect on: * The Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist * The burning love and mercy of the Sacred Heart * Mary’s quiet and faithful heart * Preparing the way for Christ in our homes * Living as missionary families in the heart of the Church You’ll also find simple, practical ideas for liturgical living this month—from Eucharistic Adoration and Sacred Heart enthronement to bonfires for “Summer Christmas” and meaningful family prayer traditions. This episode is a gentle invitation to slow down, enter the rhythm of the Church, and allow the Heart of Jesus to shape the heart of your home. 11772 Sacred Heart Childrens Activity Book [https://files.kofc.org/download/assets/Sacred+Heart+Children%27s+Coloring+and+Activity+Book/d5dbb2389d8311f0bc79e2ae56999950] 11769 Enthronement Booklet [https://files.kofc.org/download/assets/Enthronement+Booklet/541498da9d8511f08d21221c26c50bba] Sacred Heart Icon Portrait [https://files.kofc.org/download/assets/Sacred+Heart+Icon+Jesus+Portrait/111e41929d8611f09909bab4c22bcb97] 546: Eucharistic Miracles, Part 1 | Ignition [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjVMNfHw3tg&list=PLqSqcaJSjAjac-QUMpppZWPG316qGvlC7&index=108] 514: Christmas and Crickets in June! | Ignition [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTaDanOHdXQ&list=PLqSqcaJSjAjac-QUMpppZWPG316qGvlC7&index=139]

An Introduction to Matins: Sanctifying Time Through Prayer (with Samuel McIlheran)

What is Matins? Why did Christians historically rise in the night or early morning hours to pray? And what might this ancient rhythm of prayer have to say to modern Catholics today? In this episode of Living LIT — Living In Truth, Robyn sits down with Samuel McIlheran to explore the beauty and depth of Matins, an ancient part of the Church’s Divine Office rooted in Scripture, watchfulness, and sanctifying time. Samuel’s new book The Matins Lectionary is a Catholic treasure now available through TAN books. Whether you are familiar with traditional Catholic prayer practices or completely new to terms like Matins, Breviary, or Divine Office, this conversation is an invitation to discover the rich spiritual treasures of the Church in an approachable and encouraging way. Together, we discuss: * What Matins actually is * The history and heart behind praying the hours * Why sacred rhythms matter in modern life * How ancient prayer traditions can deepen everyday faith * Ways ordinary Catholics and families can begin reclaiming rhythms of prayer in the home Whether you are most familiar with the Ordinary Form of the Mass (Novus Ordo) or the Extraordinary Form (Latin), the Church’s ancient rhythms of prayer and sacred traditions offer beauty, wisdom, and spiritual richness for all of us walking the journey of faith together. This episode is not about liturgical camps or preferences-however we do have a great conversation about bridging the gap–a gentle reminder that the treasures of our Catholic faith are not meant to divide us, but to draw us deeper into Christ.

Color Analysis: Discovering Your God-Given Beauty with Maclaine Noah

Color analysis is everywhere right now — but what if it’s about so much more than trends? In this episode, Robyn sits down with Catholic Christian color analyst, Maclaine Noah to talk about the beauty and wisdom behind seasonal color analysis — and how discovering “your season” can actually become an invitation to embrace who God created you to be. Maclaine explains the method she uses in her professional color analysis business, how the process works, and why certain colors harmonize beautifully with your natural features. But we also go deeper. We talk about: * The difference between chasing trends and living in harmony * Why certain colors make you look vibrant, peaceful, and radiant * How color analysis can build confidence without feeding vanity * How this work has become a ministry of affirmation and identity * The spiritual connection between beauty and divine design Because this isn’t about changing who you are. It’s about discovering the beauty that is already there. When we live in harmony with the design God gave us — inside and out — we reflect His artistry to the world.
