Jim shares simple insights into opening ones heart to the presence and power of the Holy Spirit.

Segment 1: Society of St. Pius X names priests to be consecrated bishops (2 segments)

The Society of St. Pius X has announced the names of four priests who will be consecrated as bishops on July 1 without the permission of Pope Leo XIV. We talk more about this and other Church news with Matthew Bunson.

Segment 2: The Church learns something new from Newman (2 segments)

St John Henry Newman taught the Church a whole host of things, ranging from the development of doctrine to the primacy of truth to the nature of conscience. But Matthew Walz wants to consider something else – what it means to Hope in God the Creator. He joins us.

“What has Tim learned after 25 years of apologetics?” In this episode, Tim reflects on his extensive experience in Catholic apologetics, addressing questions such as the obligation of Catholics to follow Ember Days and the trustworthiness of the Catholic Church’s authority. He also tackles challenges faced by parents with children who have left the faith and discusses the complexities of interfaith dialogue regarding the nature of God.

Prayer of Saint Boniface

Eternal God, the refuge and help of all your children,
we praise you for all you have given us,
for all you have done for us,
for all that you are to us.
In our weakness, you are strength,
in our darkness, you are light,
in our sorrow, you are comfort and peace.
We cannot number your blessings,
we cannot declare your love:
For all your blessings we bless you.
May we live as in your presence,
and love the things that you love,
and serve you in our daily lives;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.

RECIPES FROM RITA: STRAWBERRY PIE

Ingredients

1 pre baked pie crust – deep dish is nice

2 to 2-1/2 pounds strawberries hulled and cut in half or if real big, cut into fourths

3/4 cup sugar

5 tablespoons cornstarch

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1/2 cup water, divided – room temperature or cool, not hot

Whipped cream for garnish

Instructions

Reserve half of the strawberries in a large bowl and set aside.

Add remaining strawberries to a pan along with the sugar, 1/4 cup water, and lemon juice. Stir to combine. Mash the strawberries with a fork or potato masher until chunky, then place the pot over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally.
Once the mixture comes to a boil, reduce the heat to medium low. Dissolve cornstarch with remaining 1/4 cup of water and stir it into the pot. Simmer, stirring frequently, until translucent and thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool for 10 minutes.
Pour filling over the strawberries in bowl and stir to coat well.

Pour into baked crust, jiggling a bit to make filling settle. Smooth top.

Chill uncovered, 3 hours or until set.

Slice and serve with whipped cream, if desired.
