Open Line, Tuesday

In today's Open Line Tuesday with Fr. Wade Menezes we celebrate the Communion of Saints! “…speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by every joint with which it is supplied, when each part is working properly, makes bodily growth and upbuilds itself in love.” – (Ephesians 4:15-16)

Divination has traditionally been understood and defined as the art of knowing and declaring future events or hidden things by means of communication with occult or occultic forces – powers that the Church clearly identifies as diabolical and which can act as a “portal” or “doorway” to the occult and occultic activity. Join Fr. Wade Menezes on this fascinating subject today on Open Line Tuesday.

Just this past Sunday, on October 19, 2025 – the 29th Sunday in Ordinary Time – Pope Leo XIV canonized seven new Saints of the Catholic Church including an Italian lawyer who renounced Satanism and his involvement in the occult and eventually became “an apostle of the Rosary.” Join us for Open Line Tuesday with Fr.

Parents hold a primary spiritual authority over their children in Catholic moral teaching, with the duty and privilege to be their children’s first educators in the faith and in morality, acting as stewards of their children’s souls and leading them toward God.

The Rosary is a devotional prayer, both mental and vocal, which honors the life of Jesus Christ and the mysteries of our salvation obtained by Him. The Rosary also honors the Blessed Mother of God who was so near to her Son throughout His Sacred Incarnation. Join Fr. Wade Menezes in celebration of Our Lady of the Rosary!

Recent statistics show that young men – most notably in the 18 to 35 year-old range – are increasingly joining the Catholic Church in the U.S. and western Europe, often attracted by its historical continuity, communal aspect, and traditional structure which they find offers a sense of stability and meaning in a rapidly changing world. Join us in Open Line Tuesday as Fr. Wade Menezes dives deep into this counterculture trend.

Modesty is the virtue that safeguards the dignity of a person in their association with others. It benefits both the individual and society (that is, “the other”) because it governs the exterior appearance and behavior of the person and thus helps make society civil and harmonious by helping to protect the virtue in “the other” person. Join us for this Mailbag edition of Open Line Tuesday with Fr. Wade Menezes.

Suffering unites the sufferer with Jesus Christ and His Cross, which itself was meant to be saving and redeeming for all and helps us to be more sympathetic toward others who are suffering. Join us for Open Line Tuesday with Fr. Wade Menezes.
