Episode #4882 Five-Fold Scapular Part II (Reair 062626)

Father Anthony with Cristina and Tony joined today by Alice Babij (Bobby) gather to discuss the goings on, and people in the Parish.  Father Anthony greets everyone, mentioning he’s transitioning from just completing a funeral, he offers prayers for the rest of the soul of the deceased and their family.  Father leads us in prayer adding the Litany to the Sacred Heart.  After prayer, Father mentions the 4th of July celebrating our nation yet there’s so much polarization in our country and in the church. This leads him to wonder if there is a tipping point where God decides to step in to bring us down in order to build us back up?  They discuss this idea as they look to biblical events to help support their ideas.  After a break, Father asks Alice to continue her discussion over the book “Clothed in Grace, A Devotional Guide to the Five-Fold Scapular, by Rev Scott Haynes, which they began discussing last week Friday.  The book is a devotional guide for the use of the five-fold scapular. The book offers the history along with the meaning of each of the scapular folds.  It also shares the saints who wore them, miracles tied to them and the spiritual promises that draw millions to it.  Today Alice focuses on sharing the many miracles credited to the various scapular folds.  The book is available at priestlypress.com.

Episode #4881 Households Level of the Heptagraph (Reair 052026)

Father Koys takes us on another “brain wrinkling” walk as he tackles the topic of households. Households is one of the seven layers in Father Koys art piece “Heptagraph”.  Fr. Koys wrinkles your brain to contemplate this level of association as he references historical references to clarify the fascinating connections.  He dives into historical references on Shakespeare, the House of Plantagenet; it’s two branches, House of York and House of Lancaster, as well as the House of Tudor and the war of the Roses.  While experiencing technical difficulties today, Father Koys was a real trooper and trudge along to make his point in order to wrinkle your brain.  Happy Wednesday!

Episode #4879 Prayer & Praying with the Pope

It’s Monday and Lauretta welcomes back Mary Fiorito (former WOC host and co-host) back to the show today to tackle prayer and praying with the Pope.  They catch up and chat about the crazy weather in the Midwest this summer as Mary drives in the torrential rain.  We go to break hoping Mary can find a safe space to continue her participation.  After the break, Mary is safe and they lean into discussing prayer, referencing Pope Leo videos promoting prayer as well as his words to encourage SILENCE and to LISTEN for God. In particular they discuss forms of prayer and the fulfillment that it brings.  As they talk they acknowledge that there is misfortune and that despite the bad times, we can experience joy in God through prayer as Pope Leo has expressed many times in his speeches.  They touch on experiences and situations that have been blessings to themselves as well as themselves being blessings to others reminding us that we can always be a blessing to others if we just allow God to work through us.  So let us all stop and be silent as we listen for God.
