Broken Mary
The power of prayer is just that: power, the power of God, who hears all of us when we pray, and every prayer is answered. The rosary is the story of Jesus, the Son of God, from His Nativity to His Crucifixion to His Ascension into Heaven. Our Mother Mary requests that we pray the rosary daily. Many think they have no time to pray, and know nothing about the rosary; but this app makes it easier to pray anywhere at any time.
Jesus, Look At My Heart
Do you know anybody who wants to work out all of the time? Unlikely. But nobody who gets in that workout says afterwards, “That was a waste of time. Why’d I bother?” Even more with prayer. When you take the time, it’s always, “I’m so glad I did that.” Eternal perspective changes how you use your time. What are we made for? To live forever.
It’s key to commit to prayer; to schedule it and keep honor it through intention and discipline. But, then, how do we maintain prayer as an intimate relationship and not let it become a routine? The answer to one question: where’s your heart in it? Going through the motions to get it done is not the point.
Who Did It Better?
Does it sometimes feel like the people who mess up the most end up closer to God?
As the friars wrap up their reflections on the Prodigal Son, they wrestle with a real and honest question: did things actually turn out better for the one who left than for the one who stayed?
In this episode, they unpack the tension between comparison and truth. While the younger son experiences a powerful return, that doesn’t mean sin is the better path. God can redeem anything, but that doesn’t make it the plan. The deeper invitation isn’t about having a dramatic story, but about entering into real relationship with the Father, right where you are.
They also reflect on the subtle danger of doing all the “right” things without ever truly encountering God, and how both sons are invited out of an orphan mindset and into deeper intimacy.
Join us as we let go of comparison and rediscover that the goal isn’t a better story, but a deeper relationship with the Father.
Can You Receive Communion with Mortal Sin?
Should you receive Communion if you’re not sure you’re in mortal sin?
This question has confused a lot of people, and for good reason. In this episode, Father Tim clears up the tension between two things we often hear: “never let sin keep you from Communion” and “never receive in mortal sin.”
The Church teaches that the Eucharist is medicine for the sick—but not for the spiritually dead. Mortal sin is serious: it involves grave matter, full knowledge, and full consent, and it breaks our relationship with God. That’s why we’re invited to go to Confession before receiving Communion again.
But there’s also real encouragement here. If you’re unsure, if you’re trying to follow God, if your heart is seeking Him, Jesus meets you there. And if you’re in a place where you choose not to receive yet, that act of reverence and honesty matters more than you think.
The Eucharist is powerful. So we approach it with both hunger and honesty.
Wherever you are right now, God’s mercy is ready for you.
Hot Takes
There are multitudes of struggles that we are experiencing day to day. As we see our own and other people’s struggles, weakness and even sins, we have to understand that we are going through different journeys. God is doing something completely different in each of our lives. Relative to this truth, this episode talks about some of the most essential topics that most of us can relate to. Here are some of our hot takes.
The Road to Sanctuary
Most people know that priests are a vital part of the Catholic Church, but many don’t realize how much they do for their parish. This video tells the story of how Fr. Anthony Bus saved St. Stanislaus Kostka Parish from the brink of closure. A story of how he kept going forward in the name and grace of our Lady, the Virgin Mary, her Son, and ultimately God to restore the parish and turn it into a sanctuary despite all the struggles. It’s also the story of his journey in bringing peace and salvation to the people and bringing people to know God, to love God, and to serve God in the midst of all chaos in this difficult time in the world.
