  • The Family Room - Divine Mercy University
    Guest: Fr. Charles Sikorsky, president of Divine Mercy University

    Raised in suburban Maryland, Fr. Charles Sikorsky attended Catholic schools and followed the cultural trend of drifting away in college. An accomplished basketball player who went on to law school, he experienced a gut check upon the sudden death of a former teammate. Realigning his vision, Sikorsky left a productive law practice to join the priesthood as a Legionary of Christ. Ordained in 2002, he received several prestigious degrees before being elected president of Divine Mercy University (DMU) in 2007. 

    DMU meets needs not addressed in other university settings. Located in Sterling, Virginia, DMU is an institution of higher education offering graduate degrees, continuing education, and certificate programs focusing on the renewal of the Catholic-Christian intellectual tradition. DMU is dedicated to the scientific study of psychology with a Catholic understanding of the person, marriage, and the family. It offers a Doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology, a Master of Science degree in Psychology, a Doctorate in Counselor Education Supervision, and a Master of Science in Counseling. Their certificate programs, such as their Center for Spiritual Direction, Foundations of Advanced Clinical Supervision, and Center for Trauma and Resiliency Studies, provide accessible, high-quality formation to help students reach their next level. 

    Guest biography: Fr. Charles Sikorsky, L.C., has devoted himself to growing Divine Mercy University’s place in academia, the Church, our nation, and the world. A canon and civil lawyer trained in philosophy and theology from Baltimore, MD, Fr. Charles earned his law degree from The University of Maryland School of Law after obtaining a B.A. in political economy from The Johns Hopkins University. Upon entering the seminary, he earned degrees in philosophy and theology from the Regina Apostolorum Pontifical University and a Licentiate in Canon Law at the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome. He was a proud member of the 1982 national champion basketball team at his high school, Calvert Hall of Towson, MD. Fr. Charles was ordained to the priesthood in Rome on December 24, 2002, by the now-Cardinal Leonardo Sandri. Fr. Charles resides in Ashburn, VA, with his community of the Legionaries of Christ.

    A Prayer to St. Joseph for Providence



    Joseph, with Jesus and Mary, you knew hunger, uncertainty, and illness.
    You turned your heart to God to lift up your needs and those of your family.
    In faith you accepted the Father’s response as events unfolded.
    Be with me today as I offer my requests to the Father.
    Joseph, let me recognize God’s will as I open my hands to accept what God bestows in loving kindness.
    With tenderness, God fills creation with life and love.
    Open my eyes to the wonders that God works without ceasing.
    Let me learn the true intention behind my request so that I may discover
    within myself the lowly one that God commends. Amen.

  • The Catechism in a Year (with Fr. Mike Schmitz) - Day 126: Prophetic and Kingly Offices (2026)

    In addition to Christ's priestly office, lay people are called to participate in Christ's prophetic and kingly offices. They take part in Christ's prophetic office by evangelizing and proclaiming Christ by word and with the testimony of their lives. Fr. Mike explains that the laity participate in Christ's kingly office in their hearts. They do this when they rule themselves and conquer sin, acting as virtuous leaders in the Church and society. Fr. Mike also reminds us that lay people should strive to be guided by Christian conscience in all their actions in the Church and society. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 904-913.

    This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.
