A saying that has been attributed to St. Francis – though some sources claim he never said it – is, “Preach the Gospel at all times, and use words if necessary.” Whether one of the world’s most popular saints ever uttered those words or not, we can still learn from them. What do you know about St. Francis? How has he inspired you to live your faith, to love God, to promote peace among all men? Let us hear from you on our last live broadcast of the week on Friday!
Life has its ups and downs. Many challenges. Times when we really need the prayers and spiritual comfort and consolation of family and friends. A lot of us enlist the daily prayers of a priest, a monastery or a convent. Many parishes have a prayer chain. Perhaps you know someone who is a real prayer warrior. Those can all be powerful supports for us in daily life. On Thursday, let’s talk about how we get spiritual support.
October 2nd is the Feast of the Guardian Angels. God has assigned each and every one of us a guardian angel to guard and guide us. Psalm 91 affirms that for us. So, what kind of relationship do you have with your guardian angel? Do you ask them for help only when you are in danger? Or maybe you are more like Padre Pio and you acknowledge your guardian angel on a regular basis. Let’s talk about guardian angels and the role they play in your lives on Wednesday’s Take 2 with Jerry and Debbie. Call in and share. 1-833-288-3986
Tuesday is the first of the month, the day we dedicate to joining you and the world in praying for your important intentions. Get them ready and be sure to call early so that we get to your intentions!
Following a vocational call to holy matrimony can be filled with great joy and blessings. But it also presents challenges to each spouse, especially if he or she has lived the single life prior to entering the marriage, which has been called a “saint-making machine.” That’s because husband and wife must learn to put the other first, to make sacrifices that they previously didn’t have to make, in essence, to live very differently than they did when they were single. When you got married, what did you find to be the hardest adjustment(s) from single life? Let’s learn again from each other on Monday’s show.
This is your time to ask us anything, revisit past shows or even suggest future topics. Just call us and share what is on your mind or heart because it is Unscripted! 1-833-288-3986.
Expectations are a part of life. We place them upon ourselves, and others do likewise. But unfulfilled expectations – especially unreasonable ones – can lead to a lifetime of frustration, pain, guilt, shame and more. The world tell us that we should dress a certain way, act a certain way, look a certain way, think a certain way. We can too easily get caught up in thinking that’s who we should be. If you have ever had feelings that you just didn’t measure up to your peers or others’ expectations, let’s talk about it on Thursday.

Jesus’ mandate to go and make disciples of all nations is just as binding today as it was when he first gave it to his apostles prior to His ascension into heaven. That means all of us has a responsibility to try to draw people into a life of faith, a life of active participation in the Church. That’s not always easy, as there are countless forces at play mitigating against people coming into the Church. Sadly, in our day, there are gigantic hurdles that must be overcome, not the least of which is the diminishing moral authority of the Church due to the clergy sex abuse and cover up scandal. So, how do you witness to the people in your sphere of influence in such challenging times? Do you find this difficult to do at work, in public, even within your own family? Let’s talk about this on Tuesday.
