Segment 1: How to Prioritize Family Time

Our culture has placed a massive value on being busy, constantly involved in events and activities. But this comes at a price – families have no time to spend together or pray together. Greg Popcak has some solutions.

Segment 2: Was Pius XII “Hitler’s Pope?” (3 segments)

Ever since World War II, a controversy has raged about Pope Pius XII. Was the Pope who had shepherded the Church through the war a Nazi sympathizer? Was he, as some have dared call him, Hitler’s pope? Did he do nothing to help the Jewish people in the grips of the Holocaust? We talk with Ron Rychlak.

Prayer for priests

O Jesus, I pray Thee for Thy faithful and fervent priests; for Thy unfaithful and tepid priests; for Thy priests laboring at home or abroad in distant mission fields; for Thy tempted priests; for Thy lonely priests; for Thy dying priests; for the souls of Thy priests in purgatory. But above all I commend to Thee the priests dearest to me; the priest who baptized me; the priests who absolved me from my sins; the priests at whose Masses I assisted, and who gave me Thy Body and Blood in Holy Communion; the priests who taught and instructed me, or helped and encouraged me; all the priests to whom I am indebted in any other way, particularly N. O Jesus, keep them all close to Thy Heart, and bless them abundantly in time and in eternity. Amen.
