Having a tough time forgiving yourself of others? Did you know that if you don't, God won't forgive you?  Listen in for some ways to finally love yourself and others as God commands!

Why do we flock to our churches to have dirt put on our faces and what’s the significance of the sign of the Cross?

On this week's show, we get back to basics, discussing parenting in today's complicated world with clinical psychologist Dr. Ray Guarendi, author of the book Raising Upright Kids in an Upside-Down World.

About Dr. Ray Guarendi:

Dr. Ray is a clinical psychologist, author, professional speaker, and national radio and television host. His radio show, “The Dr. Is In” can be heard on over 440 stations and Sirius XM Channel 130. His TV show, “Living Right with Dr. Ray” can be seen on EWTN Global Catholic Network and is aired in 140 countries.

About Raising Upright Kids in an Upside-Down World:

From raunchy television shows to immoral peers, the barriers to raising moral and mature children are higher and more treacherous than ever. Here, acclaimed Catholic psychologist and EWTN personality Dr. Ray Guarendi offers parents a roadmap through this difficult and sometimes frightening terrain. Dr. Ray brings to bear his decades of clinical experience—and his experience as a father of ten—with some of the hardest questions of modern parenting. This is a book for parents who aim to form children who value the things of God, no matter the work and the effort.

Anna Camacho, owner and maker of CORDA, is well versed in the lives of the saints, but she also finds inspiration from cooking magazines! Her quote comes from a chef interview in a 2017 issue of Food & Wine:

"Do it as it should be done.”

Listen in for the story of this quote and how far it reaches back, and get inspired to be faithful to whatever God is calling you to right now. It’s today, in this moment, that we can become saints.

The readings for the weekend are perfect as we begin Lent.

To read this week's readings, go to: usccb.org

Callers choose the topics during Open Forum, peppering our guests with questions on every aspect of Catholic life and faith, the moral life, and even philosophical topics that touch on general religious belief. 

Questions Covered:

07:33 - I need more clarification on the theology of liberation.  

18:12 - Why can’t non-Catholics receive the Eucharist even though they fully understand the concept behind it, and why do you have to go through RCIA and receive all the sacraments to be worthy of receiving the Eucharist? 

33:49 - Can you clarify what is meant in Scripture when it says that “except for in sexual immorality,” divorce is not allowed? It seems like the Church doesn’t uphold that. 

48:00 - Where in the Bible does it say to pray to saints? My dad is Lutheran, and we really disagree on this. 

51:23 - Where does the idea come from that there is doctrine separate from the Bible? 

53:26 - What was the Council of Orange?

Trent Horn addresses the problems that people have with Catholic moral teaching.

Questions Covered:

13:43 - I object to the prohibition on women becoming deacons. 

21:12 - I reject the celibate priesthood. 

33:20 - I was a Presbyterian pastor and my wife and I are coming into the Church at the Easter vigil. Being a married pastor for 8 years really showed me the value of the priestly celibacy.  

36:06 - I reject Church teaching on IVF. 

45:13 - I question the Church’s restrictions on divorce.

When the Lord preached the beatitudes he was teaching about the meaning of ultimate happiness and how to attain it. Unfortunately, many Catholics today find the Beatitudes confusing. Listen as Richaél Lucero provides an overview of this important message of the gospel. This will be the introduction for the 2020 Lenten series on the beatitudes.
