The Catholic Morning Show – 06/11/2026

On this storm-interrupted Thursday, Deacon Mark Campbell and Brady Grimm power through severe weather alerts across Iowa to deliver a full, faith-filled Catholic Morning Show. The episode opens with Deacon Randy Kiel unpacking the Sunday Ordinary Time readings — tracing Israel's covenant at Sinai in Exodus, Paul's message of new identity in Romans, and the unifying thread of God's faithful love throughout salvation history. Deacon Kiel preaches at Christ the King Parish on the south side of Des Moines this weekend. Des Moines Police Detective Craig Vasquez joins Deacon Mark in studio to share the story behind the annual community Rosary Rally outside the Des Moines Police Department. The event takes place this Saturday, June 14, at the west side of the building near the memorial, off East 1st and Court Avenue. Lawn chairs, rosaries, and prayer intentions are all welcome. The rally gathers citizens alongside police officers, firefighters, EMS personnel, and Des Moines clergy to pray together publicly for the city and state. Ed Van Buskirk — founder of IfYouLoveMe.com — continues the Ten Commandments series with the Seventh Commandment: You Shall Not Steal. Ed challenges listeners to look beyond the obvious and examine how we steal intangibles — reputation, credit, compliments withheld — and how covetousness at the root of stealing points back to disordered priorities and a lack of trust in God. Families and individuals can explore the full commandments series at GodsRecipe.org. Today marks the USCCB's Consecration of the United States to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, live from the Basilica of the National Shrine of Mary, Queen of the Universe in Orlando at 4:00 PM Eastern on EWTN.
