October's Teaching Moment

In this month dedicated to the Rosary, we honor Our Lady of the Rosary, celebrated on October 7th, and commemorate the Miracle of the Sun at Fatima on October 13th. Part of Fatima’s message given to the world by Our Lady to the children of Fatima is the Five First Saturdays Devotion. This centers on mankind offering reparation for the blasphemies v. her Immaculate Heart. Why five Saturdays? Servant of God, Sister Lucia, wrote that Our Lord told her that these five Saturdays correspond to the five blasphemies and insults committed against her Immaculate Heart including those against her Immaculate Conception, against her virginity, against her divine maternity, as well as indifference toward her and insults against her Sacred images. So we must keep these reasons firmly in our minds as we confess our sins, receive Holy Communion, pray the Rosary, and meditate on the Rosary for 15 minutes on each First Saturday.

Carolina Catholic chats with TAN Books author, Patrick O’Hearn, about his newest book, Courtship of the Saints: How the Saints Met Their Spouses

For our second September show, our guest is Patrick O'Hearn who will speak with us about his book, Courtship of the Saints: How the Saints Met Their Spouses. In this wonderful show, Patrick will share how twenty-five saintly couples, including Joachim and Anne, Joseph and Mary, Elizabeth of Hungary and Louis IV, Gianna and Pietro Molla, Louis and Zélie Martin, and others, met their spouses. From the most ordinary to the most extraordinary circumstances, one thing is clear: Divine Providence was at work. Given the world we live in today, it's wonderful to learn how these saintly couples will inspire our youth to begin waiting and praying for a virtuous spouse. Still more, they offer wisdom and practical advice for those already married.

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 third and fourth 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.
