The Simple Truth

6/28/23 - Today we'll walk through the dramatic events of Our Lady of Akita, a well-known Marian "apparition" that took place in Japan. Sister Agnes Sasagawa of the Handmaids of the Eucharist received visions of an angel and messages emanating from a wooden statue that wept 101 times, an occurrence that was witnessed by more than 2,000 people. Why did Mary choose to reveal herself through a statue, and what message did Our Blessed Mother bring?

6/26/23 - What were you taught as a child about emotions? Did your parents show you appropriate physical and verbal affection? What do you think about crying - does it have any role in health? Jim and Becky Havens discuss the impact that emotions can have on one's physical health and how Catholics can block out the negatives and build off the positives to maintain their overall wellbeing.

6/23/23 - Do we really have a right to choose promised to us in the United states Constitution? What does the 14th Amendment have to say about that, and how does that relate to the Roe v.

6/16/23 - Back to the basics on the topic of personhood! What does the term mean, how can we educate those who are unfamiliar, and what role does that play in the war against abortion? Also, stay tuned for an update about upcoming Men's Marches in Washington D.C. and Boston, Massachusetts.

6/15/23 - Tomorrow is the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and we focus on the incomprehensible love that Our Lord shows us, particularly in the Blessed Sacrament. Without the priest, there can be no Blessed Sacrament - so what happens when a priest or bishop persists in mortal sin? Today we'll focus on the dignity and nature of the priesthood, sin, and how they relate.
