Carolina Catholic chats with Father Jeffrey Kirby, Moral Theologian and Pastor, about his newest book, Understanding the Bible: A Catholic Guide to Applying God's Word to Your Life Today

For our first October show, Judi Paparozzi and Tara Lewis talk to Father Kirby, Pastor of Our Lady of Grace Parish in Indian Land, South Carolina, about his newest book called, Understanding the Bible. If you have ever wanted to be someone who knows of the eternal value of the Bible and has been moved in your heart to read it but found it hard to navigate and feeling a bit overwhelmed, this is the book for you. In his book, Father provides a quick, easy-to-read summary of that book of the Bible, touching on the history and themes, applying the book to our own issues and struggles today, and offering guidance for getting started reading that specific book.  By growing in confidence and understanding of the Bible, we can discover more fully the words and deeds of God and apply the revelation and wisdom contained in Sacred Scripture to our lives today.

This show will air on Wilmington Catholic Radio's three stations, 91.7 FM, 93.1 FM, and 103.1 FM on Saturdays at 11 am and Sundays at 6 pm on the first two weekends of October.  You can listen on-line live by clicking on the Listen Now tab.  Or, listen 24/7 by going to the Carolina Catholic tab and clicking on the show page.

September's Teaching Moment

The Third Commandment requires us to keep holy the Sabbath. That obligation was transferred to Sunday because of the Resurrection of Our Lord, Jesus Christ, and also to holidays of obligation. Today, many may have forgotten or never learned that attending Mass is not all that is required to keep holy these days. For Catholics, we must avoid all servile work, unless necessity obliges, and we must perform works of piety. It is a grave sin not to do so. We can read Scripture, pray the Rosary and the Stations, or visit Jesus Christ in the Blessed Sacrament. As a day of rest, we can enjoy reading, writing, music, etc. as long as we don’t prioritize those things over prayer. We must all learn to respect Our Lord’s Day. “And when the gates of eternity shall open to you, you will enter this everlasting rest of which the Sunday’s rest is the image, and which God has prepared for and for evil."

Carolina Catholic chats with Father Lawrence Daniel Carney about his newest book, The Secret of the Holy Face: The Devotion Destined to Save Society

For our first September show, Judi Paparozzi and Tara Lewis talk to Father Carney, the Walking Priest, well known for preaching the Gospel on the streets of St. Joseph, Missouri while wearing his cassock and Saturno, about his newest book, The Secret of the Holy Face: The Devotion Destined to Save Society. In this show, we learn about this century-old devotion to the Holy Face of Jesus, the popes and saints who promoted it, and how Our Lord appeared to St. Mary of St. Peter, a Discalced Carmelite sister, and asked her to promote this devotion and prayer to save the world from the atheism promoted by communism. The devotion to the Holy Face of Jesus is an approved Catholic devotion, and the Golden Arrow Prayer is a prayer of reparation in praise of the Holy Name of God.

This show will air on Wilmington Catholic Radio's three stations, 91.7 FM, 93.1 FM, and 103.1 FM on Saturdays at 11 am and Sundays at 6 pm on the first two weekends of September.  You can listen on-line live by clicking on the Listen Now tab.  Or, listen 24/7 by going to the Carolina Catholic tab and clicking on the show page.
