Because prayer, fasting, and almsgiving shouldn't be reserved for just the season of Lent, as the readings from the 21st Sunday in Ordinary Time reminded us. Listen to Deacon Mike Krall reflect on how we can utilize prayer, fasting and almsgiving to help us pass through the "narrow gate".

The Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade was a monumental day for the pro-life movement, but a number of questions quickly arose - was abortion now outright illegal? Would this ruling spell the end for other recent or controversial court cases? Could women with ectopic pregnancies or miscarriages get in trouble?

While the monumental decision by the Supreme Court is still a hotly-debated issue, Michael Gormley and Nate Hoffman sit down to discuss the big news, as well as dispel many of the myths that have arisen in the following weeks. Don't believe the lie that "Catholics only care about babies in the womb" or "don't want to protect them after their born" - listen to this podcast to learn about the truth, and hear about many of the resources and organizations available to help expectant mothers, families in need, and more.
