Wake Up Call from Mary

God chose a woman, Mary, as the instrument through which the world was to be saved.  Isn't it possible, then, that He continues to use her as an instrument when He sees His people in jeopardy?  Throughout history, Mary has been known to appear,  warning people to turn to her Son.  These "Marian apparitions" are sometimes approved by the church: the Marian messages of Fatima, Portugal  and Akita, Japan are an example.  Some of the apparitions, such as in Garabandal, Spain, have not been approved, but the warnings contained in the messages are sobering.   In this podcast, Deacon Tim gives a provocative summation of these messages from Mary.

Cyndi guides Deacon Tim through many questions that a lot of us likely would love to have answered about the Catholic doctrines concerning marriage and annulment, but were to scared to ask.

This podcast points out that we will never accomplish our goals if we fail to clearly state what those goals may be!

For our non-Catholic friends, a "Parish"  is a territorial unit historically under the pastoral care of one parish priest.  By extension, the people within that area are members of that parish.

So, the real question is: do you and those with whom you regularly worship have an earthly plan with an eternal destination?  Listen to this podcast for an engaging discussion of this issue.

I think we've all had a time when we sensed the "spirit" of someone, that intangible sense of goodness or evil. But is this Biblical? Deacon Tim says "yes!" and he gives some fascinating examples from the Bible to prove his point. We humans are comprised of body, soul, and spirit. How would you define the difference between soul and spirit? A thought-provoking podcast - tune in!
