“May the Month of our Mother Mary
In this podcast, Fr. Javier del Castillo celebrates Mother’s Day by meditating on our Mother Mary, and why we should turn to her powerful intercession, especially in the Holy Rosary. He also reflects on the theology behind repetitive and intercessory prayer, and St. Josemaria’s suggestions for how to honor Mary in the month of May.
What you will hear:
– How Mary anticipates the needs of others in the Gospels
– How becoming children of Mary leads to becoming children of God
– Why we should turn to our Mother Mary’s powerful intercession, especially in the Holy Rosary
– How we are missing out on graces from our Lord when we don’t ask for them
– The theology behind repetitive and intercessory prayer
– St. Josemaria’s suggestions for how to honor Mary in May
Quotes: “We are in the month of May, which is arguably the most beautiful month of the year… therefore it is very appropriate for us to celebrate this month as the month of Our Mother, in fact, we celebrate Mother’s Day for very good reason in the month of May. ”
“For the unceasing prayer of a just man is of great avail.” (James 5:16)
“Think bigger than favors just for me; think of the Church, think of souls, think of conversions, think of vocations, vocations to celibacy, vocations to marriage, vocations to the priesthood, vocations to religious life, … for people who desire to take their baptismal call seriously. We need a lot of those people, the laity…. We need to ask the Lord of the harvest to send laborers through the intercession of Mary, especially this month.”
“Yes, [the Rosary] is repetitive, but it shouldn’t grow old. And, I think, the Lord wants us to repeat it, because he wants to test our desire. He wants to make our desire deliberate and make it grow.”
“Mary lived with her eyes fixed on Christ, treasuring his every word: ‘She kept all these things, pondering them in her heart’ (Lk 2:19; cf. 2:51). The memories of Jesus, impressed upon her heart, were always with her, leading her to reflect on the various moments of her life at her Son’s side. In a way those memories were to be the “rosary” which she recited uninterruptedly throughout her earthly life.” (St. John Paul the Great, Rosarium Virginis Mariae, no. 11)

Eucharistic Miracles Scala Italy
Al Alvord shares with us the Eucharistic Miracles Scala Italy edition. These Catholic Christian Deaf videos are in American Sign Language for everyone to enjoy.
“The miracle occurred in Scala, Italy. Sr Maria Celeste Crostarosa and Fr. Alphonsus Maria Liguori founded the Monastery named Most Holy Redeemer. On September 11 1732, Fr Alphonsus placed the Blessed Sacrament with the Host and it was exposed to public for three months. Every Thursday, they noticed Christ’s face appeared in the Host. The other nuns and people were witnesses. Christ’s face in the Host appeared only every Thursday, not other days for three months in row.”-Al Alvord Youtube page.

The Incarnation of Mercy
“ASL Catholic Media is partnering with the St. Josemaria Institute to provide an interpretation of the following podcast: The Incarnation of Mercy
The Church celebrates Divine Mercy Sunday at the conclusion of the Easter Octave during which we are reminded to “be merciful, just as [our] Father is merciful” (Luke 6:36). In this podcast, Fr. Peter Armenio reflects on the mercy of God by sharing a deeper understanding of the Eucharist. He explains that Christ is the incarnation of mercy itself which is revealed to us through the true presence of Christ in the Eucharist. As we receive the Eucharist and allow Christ to dwell within us, we also receive the grace of the Holy Spirit which empowers us to show mercy toward those we encounter each day and inspires us to love with the heart of Christ. St. Josemaria explains: “Mercy is more than simply being compassionate. Mercy is the overflow of charity, which brings with it also an overflow of justice. Mercy means keeping one’s heart totally alive, throbbing in a way that is both human and divine, with a love that is strong, self-sacrificing and generous” (Friends of God, no. 232).
