It’s one thing to gather with people you know and share beliefs with on Sunday. Maybe you even attend a prayer meeting or Bible study during the week. But our faith is meant to be lived 24/7. That means we should seek out opportunities to grow in our relationship with God whenever they present themselves. Are you part of a mom’s group? A men’s fellowship? Do you go to parish missions, retreats, conferences, etc.? Where is it that you “feed” your faith outside of weekend worship? Call with your take on this topic Friday at Noon ET on EWTN Radio.

Through a combination of things – good genes, eating right, exercising, getting enough rest, etc. – some people tend to be healthy most of the time, perhaps getting an “annual cold,” and that’s about it. Others are in an out of the doctor’s office throughout the year, even making visits to the emergency room. On Thursday, Jerry and Debbie want to hear your take about the general state of your health, and what you do to try to maintain good health. It’s more important than ever this time of year. Join us at Noon ET, with a replay of the show at Midnight ET.

Countless people have grown up and spent much – or most – of their lives without their biological fathers. This can be the result of any number of circumstances. While the ideal situation is for children to have both a father and a mother involved in their lives from the very beginning, it’s often the case that they grow up without the helpful influence of one or the other of them. On Wednesday, Jerry and Debbie will welcome John Finch to the program. He is the producer of “The Father Effect,” a powerful documentary that has aired on EWTN Television. Here’s a portion of the show’s description:

In 2010, John Finch started a journey to find forgiveness for his father who committed suicide when he was only eleven years old. He had no idea how it would change his life forever as a man, husband, and father. This program shares John’s powerful story and the story of many men and women and their struggles of growing up with an absent father, how it influenced their life, and the life-changing power of forgiveness.

On Friday, Jerry and Debbie will welcome your takes on returning to work after being out of the work force for a period of time. Perhaps you came out of retirement, were forced to go back to work because of personal or family financial issues, you had to take time off to deal with a health crisis, moved around the world as a military spouse, etc. Call in Friday at Noon ET on EWTN Radio.

OK, here we go again. Time to turn the page on a new year, and time to commit to those personal and spiritual upgrades and improvements. Do you make intentional resolutions, or do you just say, “This year, I’m going to try to be a better person all the way around?” If you do “make a list,” so to speak, what’s included for 2017? On Wednesday, Jerry and Debbie want to hear from you especially about what your spiritual resolutions are for the coming year. More daily prayer? More frequent reception of the sacraments? Allowing God’s love to penetrate your heart more deeply? There are a million things we can talk about, so join us at Noon ET!

On Tuesday, Jerry and Debbie are back with their first live show after a short break to celebrate Christmas. Of course, we’re still in the joyous Christmas season. But, for most of us, the family gatherings have now come and gone for another year. So, our question for you is, “How did it go?” We pray that your get togethers were all filled with peace and harmony. Sometimes, though, differences in various ideologies can make for some awkward moments. In any event, let’s talk about how you spent your Christmas weekend at Noon ET on EWTN Radio.

Please pray for Jerry’s sister. She is going through cancer and it is not going well.  You can send prayer and positive message to  ” prayingformary@gmail.com “

In modern life, it seems like there is never enough time in the day. We sometimes hate to lay our head on the pillow because we fear we are leaving important things undone. Or, worse yet, we wake up at 2 a.m. thinking of things we should have done yesterday, or things we have to do first thing in the morning. How well do you organize your time? It’s an important part of everyday life. Call with your take on Tuesday’s Take 2 With Jerry and Debbie.

Have you ever been traveling or visiting a certain area and all of a sudden realized that there is a chapel on-site? It may have happened to you in an airport, where you discovered that you could attend Mass while waiting for your next flight. Or maybe it was in a national park, a train or bus station, at a college or university or similar places. Did you take a moment to stop in and pray? Were you able to attend Mass? Share your take on this topic with Jerry and Debbie on Friday’s broadcast.

People belong to the Catholic Church for any number of reasons. They’re born into the faith. They convert. They revert. They love the Eucharist. They love Our Lady. They fear going to hell. They married a Catholic. They believe it’s true. What would you say is the number one reason you claim membership in the Catholic Church? Share your take Wednesday with Jerry and Debbie at Noon ET on EWTN Radio.
