Today on the Catholic Morning Show, Bo Bonner and Elise Kerr bring you two powerful conversations.

First, Bo “Odo” Bonner shares about his very first book, A Very Little Office of Compline—a beautifully illustrated guide to introducing children to the rhythm of nighttime prayer through the Divine Office. Discover how this timeless tradition of Compline can help families “pray without ceasing” and establish a routine of peace, protection, and trust in God before bed.

Then, we’re joined by Jennie Bradley Lichter, President of the March for Life. With the recent closure of four Planned Parenthood locations in Iowa, she highlights the life-affirming alternatives that provide medical care, material support, and lasting hope for moms and families across the nation. Learn how pregnancy care centers and maternity homes are stepping up to meet the needs of women and why this moment matters for the pro-life movement.
