They must develop the capacity to concentrate and the habit of self-discipline through long hours of exercise and fatigue as they learn to take account of their own strength. They must also learn how to preserve energy for the final moment when victory will depend upon a burst of speed or a last push of strength.” St. John Paul II

Dear Friends, in Christ,
     Some good news to report!  Annie Karto, the host of “Vigilant Heart” on Radio Maria, for whom I co-host once a month, has asked me to take her show from May 24th thru July 12th.  So, besides providing a nice array of special guests for the first half hour of the show, I will be offering an 8 week discussion on the Catechism of the Catholic Church.  I hope this will provide a valuable formative experience for all of you, and I thank Annie for this wonderful opportunity to evangelize through the radio!  You can tune in Monday evenings from 7-8 pm on https://radiomaria.us/listen-to-the-radio/
