Father Hugh Barbour helps us get ready for the Feast of St. Michael with a reflection on angels. Who are they? What do they do? And how, without having bodies, do they get anything done?

My friend was an atheist and a struggling alcoholic.  In one of several attempts to overcome his alcohol addiction, he placed a 3X5 card on our shared bulletin board with the words, “That was Yesterday.”  In this podcast, Tony talks about experiencing a metanoia, and turning away from yesterday and looking forward to tomorrow.

Scripture: On his journey, as he was nearing Damascus, a light from the sky suddenly flashed around him.  He fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?”  He said, “Who are you, sir?” The reply came, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.  Now get up and go into the city and you will be told what you must do.  The men who were traveling with him stood speechless, for they heard the voice but could see no one.  Saul got up from the ground, but when he opened his eyes he could see nothing;so they led him by the hand and brought him to Damascus.  For three days he was unable to see, and he neither ate nor drank.  Acts 9:3-9

I consider that the sufferings of this present time are as nothing compared with the glory to be revealed for us. –Romans 8:18

Reflections:  Was there an experience that turned your life around?  Have you put your old self behind you? Can you say “That was yesterday” about a time in your life before Christ?

We heard from the 2nd chapter of St. Paul’s letter to the Philippians this past weekend. There is a versed from it that is stuck in my mind that I wanted to speak with you all today about in this episode.

Join Bob Leblanc and me interviewing Fr. Nicanor Austriaco, PhD, STD, on the topic of evolution and the Catholic faith.

If you follow me on social media, and many of you do, I have made no secret since about July /August where my allegiances lie in this election and I have clearly stated MULTIPLE times why. This election is not Right vs Left. It's good vs evil. THAT’s why the new film The Trump I Know is so very important because the Left controls our airwaves and have spent over 3 years portraying Donald Trump to be something other than what he really is. Filmmakers Joe Knopp and Daryl Lefever join me this week to give their thoughts on this election, what it means to the future of this country, and what their experiences were interviewing the strong women who know Donald Trump best. The real Donald Trump, and not the media portrayal of him. Learn more about the film at www.thetrumpiknow.com

In today's passage John the Baptist continues his string language for the religious leaders.  He tells them not to presume there righteousness based on being a child of Abraham.  Very important words that are also for us today.
