Guest Steve Ray talks about the final hours of Christ’s  life.

Next year marks the 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation. Some have called it a “revolt” against the Church that Jesus founded. Others claim that many things were indeed in need of reform. On Monday, Jerry and Debbie will discuss this issue and field your takes on the subject. If you have an interest in this topic, or you’re a Protestant who listens to the show, or someone who converted to Catholicism, you’ll find the conversation enlightening and informative. Join us at Noon and Midnight ET.

In honor of the Feast of St. Joseph on Saturday, Take 2 With Jerry and Debbie will ask for your takes on Friday’s show about your very first job. St. Joseph is the patron of workers, and we know from Church teaching that labor is one of the very important aspects of human life and dignity. Do you remember your first job? What were you doing? How much did you get paid? Have you established a career in the field of your first job? How does – or did – working for a living bring you closer to God. That’s Friday at Noon and Midnight ET on EWTN Radio!

For centuries the words “Irish” and “Catholic” were synonymous. In recent years, we’ve heard about the troubling loss of faith among many on the Emerald Isle. Of course, that mirrors what is happening in many nations where the Catholic faith was once taken for granted as the key to everyday life. On Thursday, Kathy Sinnott joins Debbie (Jerry is away hosting a Catholic radio pledge drive through Friday) to talk about Irish Catholicism. You won’t want to miss it – Noon and Midnight ET!

Here is the article from the National Catholic Register on the Latin Mass that I promised to post after today’s show.  An interesting perspective to consider:

Exciting time in the Church, when so many come into full communion in the Faith.  Tears of joy are abundant at the Easter Vigil Service, when loved ones come home to the family, the Church.  Tom Peterson, Founder of Catholics Come Home will join us at the beginning of the show to share the encouraging statistics of increasing numbers to the Faith.  Share your journey to the Catholic Church.  What or who inspired you on your faith walk may be just what another needs to go deeper in discernment about the Catholic Church.  Call in at-1-800-585-9396.

Falling in love with someone who lives far from you is hardly a new phenomenon. It’s happened countless times throughout history. But, today, with technology, ease of transportation and many other factors involved, it’s easier and more common than ever for two people to attempt to make a relationship work with hundreds or thousands of miles between them. Are you in such a situation? Were you at one time? What are your takes on how well long-distance love affairs work out in the end. Share your experience about making decisions like where to live and raise a family, where to hold the wedding, etc. Join Jerry and Debbie and the world on Tuesday’s show at Noon and Midnight ET.

OK, it’s time to get real on Take 2 With Jerry and Debbie. On Monday, we want your takes – and honesty – about whether you’ve ever taken time off from work for any reason (including calling in sick) to watch NCAA Tournament basketball games (or other sporting events). Statistics show that “lost productivity” in the workforce during March Madness costs corporations close to $2 billion annually. At the same time, some advocates are encouraging those same businesses to put the games on TV in the office, so that people can still work while keeping one eye on the scores. Good idea? Bad idea? At the heart of this question is what we make a priority in our lives. Make no mistake, the NCAA and its marketing geniuses have created a “product” that virtually everyone loves this time of year, including those who aren’t necessarily avid hoops fans. Join us Monday at Noon and Midnight ET.

Often times we have heard it said that when a person enters the church doors, they feel at home!  Friday on Take 2 with Jerry and Debbie, we will discuss this feeling of being home in the Church.  Tell us your story and experience of returning to the Faith.  Remember, something you share may inspire another soul and move them one step closer to heaven.  Call in at 1-800-585-9396.

Can you relate to this photo?  Maybe you see yourself in this picture.  Do you cringe when you hear the words, We need to call a meeting?  Life may feel like one never ending meeting.  Are meetings time well spent?  Or are they a waste of time that provokes negative emotions in us and perhaps can lead us to sin.  It is sometimes hard to be charitable when a meeting feels like it will never end.  Share with us your take on this subject.  Do we need to do away with so many meetings or maybe we need to approach meetings with a different mindset.   We can’t wait to hear your wisdom on this topic.  So call in at 1-800-585-9396.

We communicate at work, home, in our communities.  Clear, genuine communication is vital for a healthy relationship.  When communication breaks down, the relationship begins to suffer as well. How are we as Catholic Christians called to communicate?  Join Jerry and Debbie at Noon and Midnight ET on EWTN Radio!
