The Catholic Morning Show - 06/04/2026

Today's Catholic Morning Show brings two powerful conversations for Catholic listeners seeking to deepen their faith and understand the Church's timeless wisdom. In the first segment, Ed Van Buskirk — founder and president of the apostolate If You Love Me — continues his Ten Commandments series with a focus on the Sixth Commandment: You shall not commit adultery. Drawing on Saint John Paul II's Theology of the Body, Ed unpacks how modern culture has diminished the sacred gift of human sexuality rather than elevating it, and how returning to God's design restores joy, dignity, and authentic love. He also offers practical guidance for parents on how to begin age-appropriate, ongoing conversations with children about the holiness of the human body — starting not with "don't," but with the glory of God's gift. Find resources on all the commandments at GodsRecipe.org. In the second segment, Father Dan Kirby of Saint John the Apostle Parish in Norwalk joins Deacon Mark Campbell to discuss the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the U.S. Bishops' national consecration of the country to the Sacred Heart — timed to coincide with the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. Saint John the Apostle will host a special Mass dedicated to the Sacred Heart on June 11th at 6:00 PM, including the consecration of the faithful. Father Kirby also encourages Catholics to enthrone the Sacred Heart in their homes, pray the Sacred Heart Novena, and spend an hour of adoration before the tabernacle in June. Additionally, Father Kirby shares exciting updates on the Norwalk Deanery — now approaching its one-year anniversary — and how deanery life is fostering priestly fraternity and parish unity across the Diocese of Des Moines.
