Today I’m joined by Brendan Dewan, a recent graduate from Grand Valley State University in Michigan, and currently a FOCUS missionary in Ball State University, Indiana. He recently did a pilgrimage to England. He visited the sites connected to many English Martyrs of the Catholic Church, who were persecuted, tortured and executed by the English government after Henry VIII separated from the Catholic Church and established the Church of England. He shares his reflections and the things he learned in those most holy places, and we talk about St. Thomas More and St. Edmund Campion who were martyrs, and we share some thoughts about St. John Henry Newman.

In this episode I share some thoughts about what are the most important effects of Baptism in our life, and what are we called to thanks to this Sacrament. Just as in baptism there is a washing with water, and then a dressing with a white garment, so baptism washes away sin and gives us sanctifying grace. Listen in to know more about these and other topics!

The North American Martyrs are some of the most amazing men in history. They are 8 Jesuits who gave their lives to bring eternal life to the Hurons and other Native Americans. While they all have incredible stories, Fr. Charles Garnier (1606-1649) is known to have died because he stayed behind with a group of Petuns who were surely going to be massacred. The way he died highlights the importance of baptism and eternal salvation. Listen in to know the details of his life and heroic death!

Today I present a general review of what are the Sacraments, and how they are the spiritual link to our Lord Jesus Christ. They are the connection to the source of all graces, which is the mystery of the Cross of our Lord. From the Cross come all the graces we receive, and they reach us through the seven sacraments. These concepts may seem basic, but they’re a key foundation to understanding all the sacramental life of the Church. Listen in to understand why these sacraments are necessary for your salvation!

Following the example of Jesus Christ, men and women have consecrated and continue to consecrate their lives to God and His Church through the profession of Vows of Poverty, Chastity and Obedience. They are the Monks, Nuns, Sisters, Brothers, Consecrated Women and Religious Order Priests. In this episode you’ll find out why this happens to this day in the Catholic Church, and what it means to be entirely Consecrated to God.

Why was the ground Moses was standing on “holy ground”? (Exodus 3:5). Why did Jesus expel the money-changers and people who sold animals from the Temple of Jerusalem? (John 2:13). It’s because “sacred” things, places, times and people are meant to be treated in a different way than things that we have for daily (or “profane”) use. Today we’ll speak about why some things are sacred, and what makes them different!
More info on these sacred signs can be found in the Compendium of the Catechism of the Catholic Church (note: this is a summary of the “Catechism”), numbers 92, 236-237, 240, 244-246, 254. You can find the Compendium of the Catechism online here: [Link]

Many miracles have happened thanks to touching or praying before the relics of the saints. Powerful signs have taken place by means of a miraculous medal or the Scapular of our Lady of Mount Carmel. But what are Sacramentals and what are the Relics of the Saints? Can we venerate these things? Is it not a kind of “Catholic superstition”? In this episode we talk about these amazing means that God has to deliver His grace and help to us!
