St. Benedict and Mary's Mantle Consecration

St. Benedict’s Feast Day: Ora et Labora, Building Holy Homes, and Mary’s Mantle Consecration Cristy Murray and Father Perry Kenaston celebrate St. Benedict’s July 11 feast day on Mary’s Messages: Leading Hearts to Jesus Today, opening with a Prayer to St. Benedict and sharing his life: born in Nursia around 480, disillusioned by Rome’s decadence, he sought prayer near Subiaco, founded small monastic communities, and wrote a practical Rule emphasizing disciplined prayer, work, and study as an antidote to societal collapse. Father Perry applies Benedict’s principles to family life, urging basic Catholic practices like praying together, reverent Mass participation, Eucharistic adoration, and avoiding idleness and procrastination, while doing “little things well” and offering work to God. Cristy adds stories about Benedict and his twin sister Scholastica and introduces their 46-day Mary’s Mantle Consecration involving daily rosary, scheduled fasting, group intentions, and a reflection on the virtue of patience. The episode closes with a second Prayer to St. Benedict and information about their website and resources. 00:00 Welcome to Marys Messages 00:36 St Benedict Feast Day 01:04 Opening Prayer to Benedict 02:27 Benedicts Life and Times 05:22 The Rule Made Practical 06:37 Benedict at Home 09:46 Prayer Mass and Adoration 11:52 Twins and Ora et Labora 15:24 Marys Mantle Consecration 17:27 Virtue of Patience 22:51 Do Little Things Well 26:41 Closing Prayer and Farewell 🎧 Subscribe, leave a 5-star review, and share this episode to help Mary’s message reach more hearts.

Happy Father's day

Father’s Day: Mary, Queen of Peace, and the Call to Be Good Shepherds Cristy Murray and Father Perry Kenaston host a Father’s Day episode of “Mary’s Messages: Leading Hearts to Jesus Today,” opening with a prayer to Mary, Queen of Peace for those in the military, victims of war, and unity among nations. Father reflects on the 11th Sunday in Ordinary Time Gospel from Matthew about the abundant harvest and need for laborers, connecting it to a shortage of priests and the shared mission of the Apostolic Church. He links readings about God’s care for Israel and Christ dying for sinners to the vocation of fathers—birth, adoptive, and priests—to bring God’s protective love to families and parishes, noting social harms of fatherless homes and positive movements encouraging engaged fatherhood. He leads a vocation prayer for the Archdiocese of Anchorage-Juneau, shares a personal story about his father, urges kindness and spiritual leadership, and closes with a Litany of Trust and podcast announcements. 00:00 Welcome to Mary’s Messages 00:37 Opening Prayer for Peace 01:29 Father’s Day and the Gospel 03:15 Homily on Fatherhood Today 08:36 Prayer for Vocations 09:32 A Father’s Day Joke 10:04 Dad Stories and Lessons 13:17 Closing Prayer of Trust 15:12 Wrap Up and Next Steps 🎧 Subscribe, leave a 5-star review, and share this episode to help Mary’s message reach more hearts.

Our Lady of Montallegro

Our Lady of Montallegro: The Icon, the Spring, and Mary’s Call to Obedience Cristy Murray and Father Perry Kenaston open the “Mary’s Message – Leading Hearts to Jesus Today” podcast with a prayer to Mary, Queen of Peace, then share the story of Our Lady of Montallegro in Rapallo, Italy (1557). A farmer, Giovanni Cioccavilla, reports Mary’s apparition and the discovery of an icon of her Dormition on the Hill of Joy; when villagers move the icon to town, it repeatedly returns to the hill, and a spring begins flowing where Mary stood, signaling her wish for a church there. A church is authorized in 1558, and later Greek sailors who claim the icon find it miraculously returned again. They discuss annual July processions, ex-votos, pilgrimage routes, other apparition sites (including Our Lady of Champion), and invite listeners to a 46-day “Mary’s Mantle of Grace” consecration from July 1 to August 15. 00:00 Welcome to Marys Message 00:44 Opening Prayer for Peace 01:22 Our Lady of Montallegro Story 03:00 Icon Returns and Church Built 04:26 Greek Sailors and the Storm 06:20 Pilgrimage and Feast Days 08:11 Lessons and Modern Apparitions 09:18 Approved US Apparitions Talk 11:53 Springs Icons and Wonder 13:29 Spread the Podcast 15:45 Join the Consecration 17:20 Time Flies Funny Banter 19:11 Closing Prayer and Farewell 🎧 Subscribe, leave a 5-star review, and share this episode to help Mary’s message reach more hearts.

Sacred Heart of Jesus: History, Promises, and Pilgrimage Insights

The Sacred Heart of Jesus: Feast Day History, First Fridays, and Devotion Cristy Murray and Father Perry Kenaston introduce the podcast Mary’s Message: Leading Hearts to Jesus and discuss devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Father opens with a “Jesus, help me” prayer and explains the Feast of the Sacred Heart as a Roman Rite solemnity celebrated the second Friday after Trinity Sunday, outlining its history from early celebrations in France through papal approvals and calendar reforms, and noting practices like Mass, Eucharistic adoration, processions, and benediction. They mention nine First Fridays and connect devotion to prayerful participation in Mass and adoration rather than being “lukewarm.” Cristy reads the 12 promises of the Sacred Heart, references images for the home, and asks about the U.S. consecration to the Sacred Heart. They also share experiences of daily Mass in Medjugorje, discuss Father’s guided pilgrimages, invite listeners to a Poland Divine Mercy trip, and promote a 46-day “Mary’s Mantle of Grace” consecration from July 1 to August 15, closing with the Our Father. 00:00 Welcome to Marys Message 00:40 Sacred Heart Prayer 02:06 Feast History Explained 07:26 How the Feast Is Celebrated 08:59 First Fridays Devotion 10:44 Twelve Sacred Heart Promises 12:24 Prayerful Living Not Lukewarm 15:13 National Consecration Meaning 18:18 Medjugorje and Daily Mass 20:57 Pilgrimage Tours and Poland Trip 24:41 Marys Mantle Consecration Invite 26:21 Closing Prayer and Farewell 🎧 Subscribe, leave a 5-star review, and share this episode to help Mary’s message reach more hearts.
