  • Ep 125: How to Rise After a Crisis with Fr. Alejandro Mijangos, LC

    Before you listen, do a quick search about Fr. Marcial Maciel, and you'll know why I was looking forward to this conversion. But more than that, my guest today is an inspiring and warm missionary priest from Mexico, Fr. Alejandro Mijangos, LC.

    Known by the university students as Fr. Alex, his is a beautiful story of finding meaning in being generous with his life, and being sustained by one thing when everything has fallen apart and broken your heart.

  • Ep 123: Let God Write Your Love Story (with Bro. Jo-I Villas of the Live Pure Movement)

    Usapang pag-ibig in November? Bakit hindi! In this episode we talk about love and an essential part of it that many have written off as a thing of ancient past: chastity. At makakasama natin si Bro. Jo-I Villas ng Live Pure Movement, whose passion for this mission is fueled by his own love story with his wife—a love story so beautiful that it could only have been written by God himself.

    Makinig na may kasamang kilig at malaman kung bakti ang chastity ay hindi lang tungkol sa relasyong romantiko, kundi susi sa tunay na kaligayahan at kalayaan—in this latest from the PadsCast!

    Babala: may iyakan ang episode na ito.

    Naging mabigat sa lahat at lalo sa aming mga pari ang news of an Italian priest who took his own life. And so we gathered to share our most candid reactions and comments about this situation. What can we learn from this news about our priests? Paano ba mas masusuportahan ang mga pari para sa kanilang ministry? And how can even this inspire a more mature faith and deeper hope in us Catholics?
