Segment 1: Catholics at the Shore Brings the Eucharist to the Forefront

We’re excited to be broadcasting this week from the Catholics at the Shore Conference in New Jersey. Chris McMahon tells us more about the event and how the culture is rediscovering the Eucharist.

Segment 2: Jesus transforms the Culture (2 segments)

All of us – regardless of our position or place in life, are called to be saints. And there’s no place we can go where God hasn’t preceded us. The Lord is already at work in our world and He wants us to join Him in mission. Marcus reflects with Billy Kangas.

Segment 3: Pope Leo meets with Marco Rubio

Pope Leo met with Secretary of State Marco Rubio today to discuss US-Vatican relations and the Iran war. Matthew Bunson gives us an update.

What was the issue in the first major disagreement in the Church and how was it resolved?

What does the Catholic Church do when someone claims the Virgin Mary is appearing to them? In this episode of Catholic Answers Live, Catholic Answers apologists explain how the Church investigates reported apparitions and discerns whether they are authentic. The conversation also explores why Jewish Bibles do not include Maccabees despite the importance of Hanukkah, why Catholics believe Jesus has two natures, and how to better understand St. John Henry Newman’s famous quote about history and Catholicism. Additional questions cover biblical support for confession and Communion obligations, who Jesus was referring to when He said “Father, forgive them,” how Catholics recognize ex cathedra teachings, and when the Eucharist becomes the Body and Blood of Christ. The episode concludes with advice for non-Catholics discerning whether the Catholic Church is true.

Prayer to St. Joseph the Worker

Joseph, by the work of your hands and the sweat of your brow, you supported Jesus and Mary, and had the Son of God as your fellow worker.

Teach me to work as you did, with patience and perseverance, for God and for those whom God has given me to support. Teach me to see in my fellow workers the Christ who desires to be in them, that I may always be charitable and forbearing towards all.

Grant me to look upon work with the eyes of faith, so that I shall recognize in it my share in God’s own creative activity and in Christ’s work of our redemption, and so take pride in it.

When it is pleasant and productive, remind me to give thanks to God for it. And when it is burdensome, teach me to offer it to God, in reparation for my sins and the sins of the world. Amen.
