“The Priest is a gift from the Heart of Christ” said Pope Benedict XVI in June 2010, quoting St. John Vianney, the Curé of Ars (France). There is no Eucharist without the Priesthood. The priest is chosen from among the people to serve the people in the things that refer to God. Only the priest can consecrate the Body and Blood of Christ, and only the priest can absolve sins in sacramental Confession. Today I talk about the priesthood, and why it is such a gift from Jesus to the Church and to all humanity.

The Virgin Mary appeared to St. Bernadette Soubirous 18 times, between February 11, 1858, and July 16, 1858, in a grotto within a massive granite formation called Massabielle. This is near the mountain town of Lourdes, on the French Pyrenees. Among other messages, Our Lady encouraged everyone to pray the Rosary and do penance for sinners. When asked what her name was, the ‘Lady of the Grotto’ answered “I am the Immaculate Conception.” The site has been—for more than 165 years—a pilgrimage destination, and a place where many (thousands) of miracles of spiritual and physical healing occurred. In this episode I welcome Emma Shea and discuss with her some of her experiences when visiting the shrine, and some of the history and spirituality of the apparitions. We also talk about the Spiritual Testament of St. Bernadette Soubirous.

In this episode we look into one of the more significant moments in the life of St. Teresa of Avila, where she suffered a lot because of illness and paralysis, and almost died. We talk about the meaning of suffering, and how the sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick is given to us by Christ to strengthen us spiritually and help us in the most difficult moments of our lives.

One of the most important criticisms that Luther had against the Church was that some priests were selling indulgences. While “selling” them was an abuse, their proper use is of greatest importance. In today’s episode, we speak about one of the greatest ways you have to help those who have passed away—a treasure of the Catholic Church called “indulgences”. They are simple actions of devotion that, by the merits of Christ and the saints, can be very helpful to us and to the souls in Purgatory.
- The topics discussed in this episode can by found in the Catechism of the Catholic Church, numbers 1471-1479.

Today I welcome Colton and Ben to speak about the Sacrament of Confession. St. John Nepomucene’s life and martyrdom is a reminder of the obligation that priests have of not sharing any sins that have been said during a sacramental confession. The king at that time wanted St. John to say whether the queen had confessed anything regarding a possible sin, but St. John refused. Listen in to know what happened next!
