In today’s Valentine’s Day episode of God’s Playbook, Fr. Rico reflects on the theme “Love Shown in Deeds,” inspired by Saint Ignatius of Loyola’s powerful reminder that love is proven more by actions than by words. He invites listeners to look beyond simply saying “I love you” and instead live it out through sacrifice, patience, forgiveness, and everyday choices. It’s a practical, down-to-earth reminder that real love—of God and neighbour—shows up in how we act.

In today’s episode of God’s Playbook, Fr. Rico dives into “Symbols of the Early Church,” exploring how early Christians used simple signs like the fish and loaves to express their faith during times of persecution. Before the cross became a public symbol, these images quietly pointed believers to Jesus, the Eucharist, and places of worship. It’s a down-to-earth look at how faith was lived, protected, and passed on—and why these ancient symbols still matter today.

King David’s heartfelt prayer shows us that no matter the challenges, God is always present, guiding us through the storm. Join Fr. Rico as we reflect on this psalm’s inspiring message of trust, love, and praise, even in the face of trials.
