March's Teaching Moment
Lent is a wonderful time to pray for the Holy Souls in Purgatory including our family members, friends, and consecrated clergy, and we shouldn’t canonize them forgetting to pray for them. Here are several ways to pray for them: Offer 30 Gregorian Masses for your deceased loved ones. Pray the Stations of the Cross or offer your Holy Communion for them. Obtain indulgences or pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet for them. Sprinkle holy water on the ground praying, “By this holy water and by Thy precious blood, wash away all my sin, O Lord, and relieve the souls in purgatory.” Pray the Eternal Rest prayer. Spend time in Eucharistic Adoration. Spread devotion to the Holy Souls. And pray the Prayer of St. Gertrude for them, which is said to release 1,000 Holy Souls when prayed: “Eternal Father, I offer You the most precious blood of thy Divine Son, Jesus, in union with the Masses said throughout the world today, for all the Holy Souls in Purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the universal Church, for those in my own home, and in my family. Amen.”

Carolina Catholic chats with human trafficking expert, Father Jeff Bayhi, about what Catholics should know about child sex human trafficking in light of Epstein revelations
For our first show in March, I speak with the founder of Metanoia Manor, Father Jeffrey Bayhi, who founded a safe house for female adolescent survivors of human trafficking. Metanoia Manor opened in 2018 with support from the Knights of Columbus, and it has served over 200 clients. It is a faith-based facility that is licensed by the state (Louisiana) to provide services that include mental, physical, and spiritual health, instruction in academics, and life skills to girls from birth up to 18 years of age. It is staffed by the Hospitaler Sisters of Mercy. With the release of the Epstein files, Father shares his work fighting against the evils of child exploitation and how his program serves to heal the wounds of this horrific crime.
This show will air on Wilmington Catholic Radio's station, 93.1 FM, on Saturdays at 11 am and Sundays at 6 pm on the first two weekends of March. 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.
Carolina Catholic gets ready for Lent by learning about martyrs and a devotion to Our Lord in the Womb
For our second show in February, I speak again to Bishop Athanasius Schneider, Auxiliary Bishop of Astana, Kazakhstan, about his newest work from TAN Books, No Greater Love: The True Meaning of Martyrdom. In this book, His Excellency shares his personal stories of priests and laity who fought against the evils of communism to keep the Catholic faith alive, as well as stories of others who have died for their faith. In another book from TAN Books, we learn about the first divine nine months of Our Lord's life when He was in the womb of Mary. This beautiful devotion was written by Fr. Henry James Coleridge, SJ, who died in 1893, and we hear from Jason Gale, VP of Content & Production at TAN, about this beautiful abridgement of the original 1885 publication.
