Submitting to God’s Call: Vocations, Scripture Reflections, and Mary’s Example

Cristy Marie and Father Perry Kenaston introduce “Mary’s Message – Leading Hearts to Jesus,” then pray for vocations to the priesthood and religious life. Father Perry reflects on the day’s readings: Jeremiah’s struggle with a difficult mission and eventual surrender to God; Paul’s call in Romans 12 to offer ourselves as a living sacrifice, be transformed, and conform to Christ rather than the world; and the Gospel where Jesus rebukes Peter as an obstacle to His mission, showing even the spiritual can err. He emphasizes accepting the cross, total surrender, and looking to Mary as the model of conformity to Christ. He closes with an encouraging poem and an invitation to seek God’s comfort like a child seeking a hug. The episode ends with the Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be, a blessing, and a request to subscribe, review, share, and visit their website for resources and contacting Father Perry.

The Feast of the Assumption: Mary’s Glory, Our Hope

Cristy Murray and Father Perry Kenaston open the “Mary’s Messages: Leading Hearts to Jesus” podcast with prayer and Luke’s Magnificat, then reflect on the Church’s celebration of the Solemnity of the Assumption. Father Perry shares early Church tradition that the apostles (except Thomas) were gathered at Mary’s “falling asleep,” her tomb near Gethsemane was later found empty, and devotion continues there in pilgrimage; he notes the Assumption was defined as dogma by Pope Pius XII in 1950. They emphasize the Assumption as a sign of hope and a preview of believers’ resurrection, affirming the dignity and redemption of the body and Mary as model disciple and intercessor. Cristy asks about whether Mary died, and Father Perry recounts a folklore story. They mention Medjugorje pilgrimages, a 46-day Novena to Mary’s Mantle ending with consecration on August 15, request prayers for the Anchorage-Juneau clergy retreat, and close with a prayer.

Our Lady of Beauraing and Medjugorje: The Golden Heart and a Call to Prayer

Host Cristy Murray and Father Perry Kenaston open the “Mary’s Messages: Leading Hearts to Jesus” podcast with prayer and discuss the apparitions of Our Lady of Beauraing in Belgium, where Mary appeared 33 times in 1932 to five children amid social unrest and declining Catholic practice. The children described Mary’s appearance, her messages (“Always be good,” “Pray very much,” “Pray always”), her request to build a chapel, and her revelation as the Immaculate Conception, including the sign of her golden heart and calls to sacrifice and conversion of sinners. The episode notes pilgrimages, reported cures, Church investigations, and official recognition by bishops, with a chapel consecrated in 1954. They also share an update on vandalism in Medjugorje, restoration efforts, an arrest, and a parish call to respond with prayer, fasting, and forgiveness, plus practical pilgrimage tips.

Cristy Murray and Father Perry Kenaston introduce the podcast and open in prayer, then discuss the Immaculate Heart of Mary through Sister Lucia’s post-Fatima visions in Spain, including the December 10, 1925 apparition where Mary’s heart is shown surrounded by thorns and the First Saturdays devotion of confession, Communion, and the Rosary offered in reparation, as well as the offenses that wound Mary’s heart. They recount Jesus’ February 1926 encouragement and Lucia’s June 1929 vision of the Trinity, the Eucharist, and Mary’s request that the Holy Father consecrate Russia in union with the world’s bishops, noting later papal consecrations and Lucia’s confirmation of the 1984 act.

Our Lady of Sorrows: The Cordovilla Apparitions and the Seven Sorrows of Mary

Cristy Murray and Father Perry Kenaston introduce the podcast “Mary’s Messages: Leading Hearts to Jesus Today” and focus this episode on Our Lady of Sorrows. They recount reported apparitions in Cordovilla (Locusto), Spain, in 1945 involving teenager Marcelina Exposia, who saw Our Lady of Sorrows near a chestnut tree; during a June 4 event witnessed by thousands, Marcelina reportedly crawled on her knees over rough ground without injury, was asked about joining Mary in heaven, and Mary requested a chapel, later built with local bishop approval. Another teen, Afra Blanco, also reported seeing Our Lady of Sorrows and later died in 2008. The hosts review the Seven Sorrows of Mary, discuss devotion tools like the Seven Sorrows chaplet and Stations of the Cross through Mary’s eyes, mention traditional promises of the devotion, encourage prayer and evangelization, and close with prayer and subscription/website information (blessedmarysmessages.com).

St. Benedict’s Feast Day: Ora et Labora, Building Holy Homes, and Mary’s Mantle Consecration

Cristy Murray and Father Perry Kenaston celebrate St. Benedict’s July 11 feast day on Mary’s Messages: Leading Hearts to Jesus Today, opening with a Prayer to St. Benedict and sharing his life: born in Nursia around 480, disillusioned by Rome’s decadence, he sought prayer near Subiaco, founded small monastic communities, and wrote a practical Rule emphasizing disciplined prayer, work, and study as an antidote to societal collapse. Father Perry applies Benedict’s principles to family life, urging basic Catholic practices like praying together, reverent Mass participation, Eucharistic adoration, and avoiding idleness and procrastination, while doing “little things well” and offering work to God. Cristy adds stories about Benedict and his twin sister Scholastica and introduces their 46-day Mary’s Mantle Consecration involving daily rosary, scheduled fasting, group intentions, and a reflection on the virtue of patience. The episode closes with a second Prayer to St. Benedict and information about their website and resources.

Father’s Day: Mary, Queen of Peace, and the Call to Be Good Shepherds

Cristy Murray and Father Perry Kenaston host a Father’s Day episode of “Mary’s Messages: Leading Hearts to Jesus Today,” opening with a prayer to Mary, Queen of Peace for those in the military, victims of war, and unity among nations. Father reflects on the 11th Sunday in Ordinary Time Gospel from Matthew about the abundant harvest and need for laborers, connecting it to a shortage of priests and the shared mission of the Apostolic Church. He links readings about God’s care for Israel and Christ dying for sinners to the vocation of fathers—birth, adoptive, and priests—to bring God’s protective love to families and parishes, noting social harms of fatherless homes and positive movements encouraging engaged fatherhood. He leads a vocation prayer for the Archdiocese of Anchorage-Juneau, shares a personal story about his father, urges kindness and spiritual leadership, and closes with a Litany of Trust and podcast announcements.

Our Lady of Montallegro: The Icon, the Spring, and Mary’s Call to Obedience

Cristy Murray and Father Perry Kenaston open the “Mary’s Message – Leading Hearts to Jesus Today” podcast with a prayer to Mary, Queen of Peace, then share the story of Our Lady of Montallegro in Rapallo, Italy (1557). A farmer, Giovanni Cioccavilla, reports Mary’s apparition and the discovery of an icon of her Dormition on the Hill of Joy; when villagers move the icon to town, it repeatedly returns to the hill, and a spring begins flowing where Mary stood, signaling her wish for a church there. A church is authorized in 1558, and later Greek sailors who claim the icon find it miraculously returned again. They discuss annual July processions, ex-votos, pilgrimage routes, other apparition sites (including Our Lady of Champion), and invite listeners to a 46-day “Mary’s Mantle of Grace” consecration from July 1 to August 15.

The Sacred Heart of Jesus: Feast Day History, First Fridays, and Devotion

Cristy Murray and Father Perry Kenaston introduce the podcast Mary’s Message: Leading Hearts to Jesus and discuss devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Father opens with a “Jesus, help me” prayer and explains the Feast of the Sacred Heart as a Roman Rite solemnity celebrated the second Friday after Trinity Sunday, outlining its history from early celebrations in France through papal approvals and calendar reforms, and noting practices like Mass, Eucharistic adoration, processions, and benediction. They mention nine First Fridays and connect devotion to prayerful participation in Mass and adoration rather than being “lukewarm.” Cristy reads the 12 promises of the Sacred Heart, references images for the home, and asks about the U.S. consecration to the Sacred Heart. They also share experiences of daily Mass in Medjugorje, discuss Father’s guided pilgrimages, invite listeners to a Poland Divine Mercy trip, and promote a 46-day “Mary’s Mantle of Grace” consecration from July 1 to August 15, closing with the Our Father.
