  • Building the Kingdom with Dr. Antone Raymundo and Fr. Jeffery Couture – September 11, 2025 – Healing Brokenness and Finding Hope

    Summary

    Dr. Antone Raymundo and Father Jeffrey Couture discuss the concept of “brokenness” and how individuals can achieve healing, drawing on Christian theological principles and personal anecdotes. They emphasize that recognizing one’s brokenness is the first step toward finding a path to healing through faith and God’s love. The hosts connect this idea to the recent shooting at Annunciation Catholic Church, suggesting that the shooter’s actions stemmed from untreated brokenness. The conversation highlights the importance of faith, hope, and charity in navigating personal struggles, with Father Couture sharing a near-death experience who supposedly was asked by Jesus three simple yet profound questions. Dr. Raymundo references a Gospel of Luke passage (Luke 4:31-37) where Jesus performs an exorcism in the temple. Ultimately, the program encourages listeners to seek help for their brokenness (mind, body, soul) and to find purpose in their struggles, transforming them into strengths.

    Key Arguments and Discussions:

    • Annunciation Catholic Church Shooting: Used as a backdrop to illustrate extreme cases of untreated brokenness and the demonic nature of such acts.
    • Demonic Influence: Discussed as a factor in severe brokenness, particularly in the context of the Annunciation Church shooting.
    • Spiritual Hospital and Medicine: The Church is presented as God’s spiritual hospital, with sacraments (confession, communion) as spiritual medicine, and priests as spiritual physicians.
    • Near-Death Experiences (NDEs): Used to explore fundamental questions God asks about one’s life, particularly concerning receiving love, seeing Christ in others, and using brokenness.
    • Three Questions from Letha Colby’s NDE)
    • 1.    “Do you allow me to love you?” (Emphasizes opening one’s heart to God’s love).

      2.    “Did you see me in others?” (Highlights recognizing Christ in every person, especially the marginalized).

      3.    “Did you use your wound, your brokenness?” (Focuses on transforming suffering for good, not succumbing to despair or misusing it).

      • Misuse of Brokenness: Discussed in contrast to using brokenness virtuously, with examples of seeking undue benefits or manipulation.
      • The Paralytic at the Pool of Bethesda (Luke): Jesus’ question, “Do you want to be healed?” is analyzed to highlight the importance of hope and the danger of despair.
      • Exorcism in the Synagogue (Luke 4:31-37): Used to illustrate Jesus’ authority over evil spirits, the presence of sinners in the church, and the importance of knowing one’s true identity in Christ.
      • Masturbation as a Mortal Sin: A specific example of an often-misdiagnosed spiritual sin that can lead to deeper vices and relational destruction. The importance of proper spiritual guidance is underscored.
      • The Priest’s Malpractice: An analogy is drawn between a doctor misdiagnosing and a priest misinforming or downplaying a mortal sin.
      • Transformation of the Cross: The idea that just as Jesus transformed the cross from a symbol of shame to a symbol of victory, individuals can transform their personal crosses (brokenness) into sources of strength and virtue.

      • The Joy of Discovery with Hal Fletcher – September 10, 2025 – If the water temperature is rising, get out of the pot!

        Earlier today, conservative political commentator Charlie Kirk was murdered on a college campus in Utah.  This is not only like the assassination attempt of President Trump last summer, but seems to be more and more the recourse of those who cannot bear the light.  Christ came to save us from death.  But the world does not want this light.  It prefers the darkness.  You and I are called to take an honest look at the situation.  It will not improve without our whole-hearted decision for Christ.  We are called to witness to the truth and are mistaken to think that the opposition will leave us alone if we leave them alone.  The devil does not operate in this way.  Adam and Eve had done nothing to provoke the snake’s bite.  Let us take stock also in Our Lady’s exhortations coming to us through Medjugorje.  She calls us to conversion.  Today.  Before it is too late.

      • A Light in the World with Christine Rossi – September 10, 2025 – Special Guest: Betty B. Bosarge

        Does the Holy Spirit ever speak to you? In the early 1900S, while praying the Joyful Mysteries of the Rosary, on his knees, in front of the Tabernacle, Fr Bradley heard the Holy Spirit telling him ” WRITE THIS DOWN”. For the next 10 years he was on a extraordinary journey of inspired meditations on every bead of the Traditional Rosary. Fr. Bradley’s niece, Betty B. Bosarge, will share her late uncle’s treasure trove of poetic mysteries that have been recorded in a book called OUR LADY’S PSALTER.
