    Apr 30 2026
    THE WAY OF THE CROSS
    It is said that the Way of the Cross owes its origin to the Mother of God.
    1. The Way of the Cross is the name given to the fourteen stations which depict the way along which Our Redeemer passed, bearing His cross, from Pilate's palace to Mount Calvary.
    2. The manner of performing the Way of the Cross is to go from one station to another, making meanwhile a meditation on Our Lord's Passion.
    3. By performing the Way of the Cross large indulgences may be gained; we also obtain contrition for sin and are in cited to the practice of virtue.
    4. If we are prevented from making the Way of the Cross, we can gain the indulgence by reciting the Our Father, Hail Mary, and the Gloria twenty times, holding meanwhile a crucifix blessed for the stations in our hand.

  • Show 249: Questions about Marriage, Divorce and Christian Burial
    Apr 15 2026
    1. Christian burial is a solemn service accompanied by special ceremonies, in which the remains of a departed Catholic are carried in procession to the place of interment
    2. The special ceremonies customary at Christian obsequies are all significant of our prayer that God may have mercy on the soul of the deceased.
    3. Christian obsequies are conducted with so much solemnity, because it is well pleasing to God that we should show reverence to the mortal remains of those who have departed this life in the grace of God.
    4. Cremation is condemned by the Church as being an abominable abuse.
    5. Christian burial is denied to the unbaptized, to non-Catholics, and to Catholics who are known to have died in mortal
      sin.

    Apr 2 2026
    THE ANGELUS
    The Angelus is a prayer which is to be recited morning, noon, and night, when the bell rings, in honor of the Mother of God and in adoration of the mystery of the Incarnation.


    THE ROSARY
    1. The Rosary is a prayer in which the Our Father, followed by ten Hail Marys, is repeated five or fifteen times, accompanied by meditation on the life, the Passion, and the exaltation of the Redeemer.
    2. The Rosary owes its origin to St. Dominic.
    3. The Rosary is well pleasing to God, because of its humility, and because it is an imitation of the unceasing song of praise sung by the angels.
    4. The Rosary is a most useful devotion, for by it we obtain great graces and sure help in time of trouble; many in dulgences are besides attached to it.

  • Show 245: The Our Father
    Mar 19 2026
    THE OUR FATHER.
    The Our Father is also known as the Lord's Prayer, because it was taught us by Christ Our Lord Himself.
    1. The Our Father takes precedence of all other prayers; it is especially distinguished by its power, its simplicity and its comprehensiveness.
    2. The address places the soul in the right disposition for prayer; it awakens within us confidence in God and raises our thoughts to Him.
    3. In the first petition we pray that God may he glorified.
    4. In the next three petitions we ask for these blessings : Eternal salvation, grace to fulfil the divine will, and the possession of those things which are indispensable to the maintenance of our earthly existence.
    5. In the next three petitions we pray that three trials may he averted from us: The evil of sin, the evil of temptation, and those evils which are prejudicial to life.
    6. The word Amen is the answer of God to the suppliant; in this place it is equivalent to the words: Be assured that thy prayer is heard.
