In this powerful Catholic conversion story, we explore the life of Bartolo Longo—a man who became deeply involved in occult and spiritualist practices, only to find himself overwhelmed by fear, confusion, and a loss of peace.

Some accounts describe him as a “satanic priest,” not because he was ordained, but because of how deeply he had immersed himself in these practices and led others in them.

At his lowest point, he was given simple advice: return to the Rosary.

What followed was not an instant transformation, but a slow and real return to God—one prayer at a time.

This episode explores the dangers of the occult, the Church’s teaching on spiritual practices, and the quiet but powerful role of the Rosary in bringing peace, clarity, and conversion.

If you’ve ever struggled, felt far from God, or wondered how to begin again—this story is for you.

In this powerful episode, we reflect on one of the most striking stories from the early Church—St. Lawrence and the true treasure of the Church.

When Roman authorities demanded the Church’s wealth, they expected gold and riches. What they received instead shocked an empire—and revealed something far deeper about the heart of the Catholic faith.

As we enter Holy Week, this story invites us to see with new eyes. What does the Church truly value? What does Christ call us to give? And where is true treasure found?

St. Lawrence’s witness challenges us to move beyond comfort and into a life of charity, sacrifice, and trust in God.

This is not just a story from the past—it’s a call to live the Gospel today.

What is almsgiving, and why does the Church call us to practice it?

In this episode, Fr. Cristino explains the meaning of almsgiving in the Christian life and how it goes beyond simply giving money. Rooted in Scripture and Tradition, almsgiving is an act of love, a form of self-denial, and a way of participating in God’s care for others.

How should Catholics approach almsgiving today? Does it only apply to the materially poor? And what if you feel like you don’t have much to give?

Through clear teaching and practical examples, this conversation offers a thoughtful look at how we can grow in generosity and live this call in our daily lives.

A monk dies with one hidden sin… and what happens next reveals something powerful about purgatory and the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.

In this episode, we share a true account recorded by St. Gregory the Great: a monk who secretly kept gold against his vows, and the mysterious moment that followed after his death. When thirty Masses were offered for his soul, everything changed.

This story has shaped Catholic tradition for centuries and is closely tied to what are now known as Gregorian Masses—thirty consecutive Masses offered for the dead. It points to a profound truth of the Catholic faith: our prayers, sacrifices, and especially the Mass can aid the souls of the departed.

What does this mean for us today? And how should we pray for those who have gone before us?

Listen now to discover the story—and what it reveals about sin, mercy, and the power of the Mass.
