Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”

A feast day, a friend, and a fight worth entering. We set the stage with Saint John Paul II, the Eucharist, and Our Lady of Fatima, then welcome John Preiss, a Catholic convert and director of the Fatima Family Apostolate, to share how a quiet hour before the Blessed Sacrament can upend a life, launch a mission, and heal a home. John’s story moves from Lutheran roots and cassette-tape apologetics to a providential friendship with Fr. Robert J. Fox, the beloved author and youth leader who formed generations through Fatima. A double “bell” moment in adoration confirmed John’s call to serve and eventually steward Fr. Fox’s legacy through a museum, a family-focused apostolate, and a renewed edition of a rich book on the Eucharist.

Together we trace the thread: why Jesus’ words “This is my body” demand a response; how adoration calms anxiety and clarifies decisions; and why the final battle over marriage and the family calls for fathers present at home, mothers rooted in hope, and children formed by truth. 

If your heart feels restless, if your home feels thin, or if you’re searching for clarity in a loud world, this conversation offers a simple path: sit before Jesus, ask boldly, listen deeply, and act faithfully.
