Blessed Mary’s Messages: Leading Hearts to Jesus Today

Immaculate Heart of Mary: First Saturday Devotion, Fatima, and Consecration to Mary’s MantleCristy Murray and Father Perry Kenaston welcome listeners to “Mary’s Message, Leading Hearts to Jesus,” pray, and begin a May focus on the Immaculate Heart of Mary. They explain the memorial celebrated the Saturday after the Sacred Heart of Jesus, describe the devotion as making ourselves “immaculate” through the sacraments, and recount Sister Lucia’s 1925 apparition in which Mary promised graces necessary for salvation to those who practice five consecutive First Saturdays (confession, Communion, five decades of the rosary, and 15 minutes of meditation). They connect the Immaculate Heart to the Eucharist and Mary’s Immaculate Conception, discuss the “triumph” of Mary’s heart and reparation for blasphemies, and mention a 46-day “Consecration to Mary’s Mantle” group program available through Queen of Peace Media.

Good Shepherd Sunday: Listening for Jesus’ Voice and Praying for Vocations | Mary’s Message PodcastCristy Murray and Father Perry Kenaston open Mary’s Message on Good Shepherd Sunday with prayer and a preview of Psalm 23, reflecting on whether listeners truly believe “The Lord is my shepherd” and how well they listen to Jesus’ voice. Father Perry explains shepherding imagery from John’s Gospel, including how shepherds and sheep recognize one another, and contrasts Christ as the gate and true shepherd against thieves and robbers. The conversation emphasizes the need to pray for priestly and religious vocations—sharing a vocation prayer used at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton in the Archdiocese of Anchorage-Juneau—while also encouraging families to prepare for Mass through silence and daily prayer. Father Perry discusses avoiding “mechanical” priesthood, imitating the Good Shepherd through service to others, and mentions upcoming travel to a Project Rachel convention in Wichita before closing with traditional prayers and a blessing.00:00 Welcome to Marys Message00:36 Good Shepherd Sunday Focus00:55 Psalm 23 Opening Prayer01:46 Hearing the Shepherds Voice03:07 Praying for Vocations05:55 Priesthood and Preparing for Mass08:43 Project Rachel Trip10:24 Jesus the Gate Explained12:52 Psalm 23 Lessons15:56 Imitate the Good Shepherd21:21 Family Prayer Habits24:22 Closing Prayers and Farewell🎧 Subscribe, leave a 5-star review, and share this episode to help Mary’s message reach more hearts.Subscribe to our YT Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/@BlessedMarysMessagesJOIN our Mailing LIST to get updates and be part of our prayer communityhttps://sendfox.com/blessedmarymessagesShow Sponsors:BlueVeil Wellness                                                               Balance.

Father Perry invites listeners to “pray up” each day, imitate Mary’s humble yes to God, and prepare to experience Christ’s resurrection personally.

Fifth Sunday of Lent: Come Out of the Cave—Hope, Forgiveness, and a Prayed Holy WeekChristy Murray and Father Perry Kenton welcome listeners to “Mary’s Message” and reflect on the Fifth Sunday of Lent, praying for a “prayed Holy Week” rather than going through the motions. Using the Gospel of the raising of Lazarus, Father Perry emphasizes that Jesus can bring life out of any situation and that keeping one’s eyes on Jesus is essential, like Peter walking on water. He reviews the day’s readings on resurrection hope, mercy, and life in the Spirit, then discusses free will and love as a choice. With Jesus’ call, “Lazarus, come out,” he challenges listeners to identify their own “caves” (sin, grudges, self-doubt, materialism, unforgiveness) and accept Christ’s freedom, recommending writing a candid “love letter” to God as a Lenten practice to prepare for Easter.00:00 Welcome to Mary’s Message00:35 Opening Prayer and Lent Focus01:36 Lazarus Gospel Hope03:59 Keep Eyes on Jesus05:33 Readings and Holy Week06:48 Why Evil and Free Will08:36 Jesus Wept at the Tomb10:51 Name Your Caves13:11 Love Letter to God15:28 Discernment and Forgiveness19:46 Palm Sunday Preview20:16 Closing Prayer and Sendoff21:19 Subscribe and Final Blessing🎧 Subscribe, leave a 5-star review, and share this episode to help Mary’s message reach more hearts.Subscribe to our YT Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/@BlessedMarysMessagesJOIN our Mailing LIST to get updates and be part of our prayer communityhttps://sendfox.com/blessedmarymessagesShow Sponsors:BlueVeil Wellness                                                               Balance.

Laetare Sunday: Rejoicing Midway Through Lent—Light, Mercy, and Preparing for Holy WeekIn this episode of Mary’s Message, Cristy Murray and Father Perry Kenaston reflect on the Fourth Sunday of Lent, Laetare Sunday, explaining its meaning, history, and the shift from Lenten penance toward Easter joy, symbolized by rose vestments and the entrance antiphon “Rejoice, Jerusalem.” They discuss themes from the Lenten readings—light versus darkness, healing, conversion, and God’s mercy—highlighting St. Paul’s call to live as “children of light” and the Gospel healing of the man born blind as a sign of Christ as the light of the world and a model of baptism. Father Perry encourages confession, prayer, and Eucharist as ways to open to God’s grace, offers practical counsel for dealing with self-righteousness by loving others as Jesus does, and urges listeners to prepare spiritually for Holy Week while praying for peace in the world.00:00 Welcome and Lenten Series00:50 Opening Prayer01:49 What Is Laetare Sunday04:57 Readings and Rose Vestments06:24 Light vs Darkness with St Paul08:35 Gospel Healing of the Blind Man10:34 Confession and Let Your Light Shine14:03 Dealing with Self Righteousness15:43 Holy Week and Easter Prep19:25 Good Friday Holy Water Explained20:20 Final Encouragement and Spelling24:16 Closing Prayer and Farewell🎧 Subscribe, leave a 5-star review, and share this episode to help Mary’s message reach more hearts.Subscribe to our YT Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/@BlessedMarysMessagesJOIN our Mailing LIST to get updates and be part of our prayer communityhttps://sendfox.com/blessedmarymessagesShow Sponsors:BlueVeil Wellness                                                               Balance.

Third Sunday of Lent: Living Water, Mercy, and Seeing Others as Jesus DoesOn Mary’s Message: Leading Hearts to Jesus Today, host Cristy Murray and Father Perry Kenaston reflect on the Third Sunday of Lent readings, focusing on humanity’s deeper thirst for meaning, peace, and lasting love. Father Perry discusses the Israelites’ grumbling in the desert and God providing water from the rock through Moses, then connects it to Jesus’ encounter with the Samaritan woman at the well, emphasizing that Jesus accepts her without prejudice and offers “living water” that transforms her into a witness. They invite listeners to let go of empty substitutes like success, possessions, and approval, and to practice daily prayer, reconciliation and forgiveness, and service to those in need. The episode includes a prayer for peace, reflections on prejudice past and present, a reminder about the time change, and a call to refocus on Lent’s transformation as Holy Week approaches.00:00 Welcome to Marys Message00:47 Opening Prayer for Lent01:46 Thirst and Living Water03:57 Lenten Practices This Week04:20 Be at Peace Prayer05:21 Let Go and Accept Others06:30 Time Change and Updates08:15 Why Samaritans Were Hated10:36 Culture and Prejudice Today14:21 Back to Lent Focus16:05 Closing Prayer and Farewell🎧 Subscribe, leave a 5-star review, and share this episode to help Mary’s message reach more hearts.Subscribe to our YT Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/@BlessedMarysMessagesJOIN our Mailing LIST to get updates and be part of our prayer communityhttps://sendfox.com/blessedmarymessagesShow Sponsors:BlueVeil Wellness                                                               Balance.

Second Sunday of Lent: The Transfiguration, Trust, and Bringing Christ Into Daily Life | Mary’s MessageCristy Murray and Father Perry Kenaston welcome listeners to the Second Sunday of Lent episode of “Mary’s Message,” open with a prayer, and reflect on the Transfiguration in Matthew alongside readings about Abram’s call to trust God and an exhortation to endure hardship through God’s strength. Father Perry emphasizes that transformation requires trust, that consolations strengthen believers for trials, and that Lent is a time to listen to Jesus through prayer, Scripture, and silence, with practical encouragement to offer daily quiet prayer and a small sacrifice or act of charity. He applies “Listen to him” to Christian vocation—especially marriage and single life—urging sacrificial love, bringing Christ into workplaces, and persevering in God’s plan. The episode includes light banter, a clarification about Lent versus Easter and Gethsemane, and brief Holy Land memories before closing with a blessing and subscription invitation.00:00 Welcome and Lent Intro00:48 Prayer and Alaska Update01:49 Readings and Themes03:47 Listen to Him05:17 Christian Marriage Mission06:16 Humor and Date Night09:48 Bring Christ to Work12:02 Trust and Transformation13:24 How We Listen14:40 Run the Race16:39 Weekly Assignment17:15 Clarifying Transfiguration19:02 Holy Land Story21:16 Lent Practices and Parish Life22:47 Podcast Mission and Blessing24:13 Subscribe and YouTube Live🎧 Subscribe, leave a 5-star review, and share this episode to help Mary’s message reach more hearts.Subscribe to our YT Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/@BlessedMarysMessagesJOIN our Mailing LIST to get updates and be part of our prayer communityhttps://sendfox.com/blessedmarymessagesShow Sponsors:BlueVeil Wellness                                                               Balance.

First Sunday of Lent: Facing Temptation with Prayer, Fasting, and Almsgiving | Mary’s Message PodcastCristy Murray and Father Perry Kenaston open the Lenten season on the First Sunday of Lent with prayer and a reflection on Jesus’ temptations in the desert. Father Perry connects the Gospel to everyday struggles such as doubt, sexual temptation, anger, gossip, and workplace compromises, emphasizing that temptation is part of the human condition and differs from giving in. He outlines three core temptations—self-centeredness, ignoring God by acting as the arbiter of morality, and sacrificing faith for power or advancement—and invites listeners to ask Jesus how to have a better Lent and become more like Him. The episode highlights the three Lenten practices as spiritual “weapons”: strengthening prayer through a schedule, fasting that targets unhealthy habits rather than superficial sacrifices, and almsgiving as concrete outreach to others. Father Perry also encourages a kind of spiritual “spring cleaning,” giving Jesus permission to prune spiritual baggage and surrender to God’s work. The hosts mention a brief technical interruption, discuss local weather in Anchorage and Fairbanks, note parish Lenten ceremonies sending candidates to the Rite of Election, invite listeners to subscribe to the new newsletter via QR code or show notes for comments and spiritual direction, and close with the Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be, and a final blessing.00:00 Welcome to Mary’s Message00:39 Opening Prayer for Lent01:41 Gospel Temptations Overview02:59 Three Temptations Explained04:28 Technical Glitch and Return05:26 Tempting God and Morality06:55 Power vs Faithfulness07:53 Lenten Weapons Three Practices08:36 Fasting with Real Intent11:43 Almsgiving and Serving Others13:20 Everyday Temptations and Driving15:02 Spiritual Spring Cleaning Surrender18:50 RCIA and Letting Jesus Prune21:50 Wrap Up Newsletter and Subscribe23:07 Closing Prayers and Blessing🎧 Subscribe, leave a 5-star review, and share this episode to help Mary’s message reach more hearts.Subscribe to our YT Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/@BlessedMarysMessagesJOIN our Mailing LIST to get updates and be part of our prayer communityhttps://sendfox.com/blessedmarymessagesShow Sponsors:BlueVeil Wellness                                                               Balance.

Ash Wednesday: Beginning Lent with Prayer, Repentance, Fasting, and Spiritual Spring CleaningOn Blessed Mary Messages, Cristy and Father Perry introduce a new Lent-focused segment on Ash Wednesday. Father Perry leads an opening prayer asking for humility, repentance, fasting from bitterness and unkindness, renewed hope, and guidance toward Easter. He explains Ash Wednesday as the first day of Lent and an opportunity to become fully available to God through repentance and spiritual “spring cleaning,” using the example of clearing out an overfilled garage and a suggested prayer giving Jesus permission to prune and renew one’s spiritual life. He shares highlights from a longer document available via QR code/newsletter, including biblical references to repentance in dust, ashes, and sackcloth (Job, Jeremiah, Daniel, Jonah) and notes that Christians historically used ashes, with Catholics receiving ashes since the time of St. Gregory the Great and Pope Urban II encouraging church-wide use. He clarifies Ash Wednesday is not a holy day of obligation, but encourages attending Mass or a prayer service to receive ashes with the formula “Remember man, thou art dust and to dust thou shall return,” and describes the order of imposition of ashes in communal celebrations. The episode covers abstinence from meat (unless medically exempt) and fasting rules for Catholics ages 14–59 (one full meal plus two smaller meals not equaling a full meal), emphasizing small sacrifices to strengthen willpower and faith. Father Perry discusses Lenten practices such as Stations of the Cross on Fridays, notes liturgical color changes to purple/violet (and rose on the fourth Sunday), and mentions that “Alleluia” is omitted until Easter. They invite viewers/listeners to join a mailing list for the full document and resources, including questions, prayer requests, downloads, and possible spiritual direction contact, and explain that Saturday episodes will focus on Lent while returning to Blessed Mary apparitions after Lent. The episode closes with a blessing and encouragement to embrace Lent.00:00 Welcome + Opening Prayer for Ash Wednesday01:38 How to Get the Full Lent Document (Newsletter/QR Code)02:18 Sackcloth & Ashes Storytime + What Ash Wednesday Means04:13 Repentance & Spiritual “Spring Cleaning” for Lent06:14 When Is Ash Wednesday?

Our Lady of Mercy, Ash Wednesday, and Lenten Fasting | Mary’s Message with Fr. Perry KenastonCristy Murray and Father Perry Kenaston welcome listeners to Mary’s Message: Leading Hearts to Jesus and open with a Prayer to Our Lady of Mercy. Father Perry highlights Ash Wednesday and encourages listeners to receive ashes at their local parish, noting a special Ash Wednesday episode is coming. The episode shares the history of Our Lady of Mercy in Savona, Italy, including the 1536 apparitions to farmer Antonio Botta, Mary’s request for three Saturdays of fasting and three processions, the spread of pilgrims, and the building of a shrine and church; it also mentions Pope Pius VII’s exile in Savona (1809–1812) and his later crowning of the statue in 1815, as well as Pope Benedict XVI’s 2008 visit. The conversation reflects on Mary’s mercy and maternal care, discusses fasting as a spiritual practice during Lent (including Church practice on Ash Wednesday, personal intentions, charity such as supporting food banks, and time in Eucharistic adoration), and references a past “Mary’s Mantle” devotion involving daily rosary, readings, and scheduled fasting. They close with a Marian prayer asking for forgiveness, help for the suffering, and intercession for the clergy and consecrated women, and invite listeners to subscribe, leave a review, share the episode, and check show notes for links and resources.00:00 Welcome to Mary’s Message + Today’s Topic: Our Lady of Mercy00:51 Ash Wednesday Is Coming: Ashes, Sackcloth & a Lenten Kickoff01:59 Opening Prayer: Prayer to Our Lady of Mercy03:01 Extra Resources: Chaplet of Our Lady of Mercy & St. Augustine Prayer03:55 Apparition Story (1536): Our Lady of Mercy Appears in Savona, Italy06:50 From Shrine to Popes: Feast Day, Pius VII’s Vow & Benedict XVI’s Visit07:54 Lenten Season Setup + Alaska Small Talk & Upcoming Holy Week Plans11:46 What’s Mary’s Message Here?

Our Lady of Garaison: A Shepherdess’ Visions, Miracles of Bread, and Preparing for Lent | Mary’s MessageIn this episode of Mary’s Message: Leading Hearts to Jesus Today, hosts Kristi Murray and Father Perry Canton open with prayer (including the St. Michael prayer) and discuss “Our Lady of Zen,” focusing on a 10-year-old shepherdess named Angelise in the Pyrenees of southwestern France. Father Perry recounts how the Blessed Mother appeared to Angelise three times, asked that a chapel be built where she would “spread my gifts,” and how initial skepticism gave way as pilgrims arrived chanting hymns. He describes reported miracles tied to the apparitions, including black bread turning white and a household chest filled with white loaves, along with cures associated with the shrine—mentioning a notable 17th-century cure connected to the young Louis XIV, brought by his mother Anne of Austria. The episode covers the chapel’s enlargement in 1540, Angelise later becoming a nun and dying in 1582, and how pilgrimages were interrupted during the French Revolution and later impacted by clerical laws in 1903 before resuming, with the sanctuary eventually surrounded by parish buildings and a school. Father Perry notes the apparitions were recognized by Popes Urban VIII and Gregory XIV with indulgences granted to visitors, encourages listeners to look up the site, and reflects on trusting Mary amid doubt and anxiety. He also previews upcoming Lent content beginning with Ash Wednesday, offers practical spiritual encouragement about praying the rosary with attention, and invites listeners to ask their guardian angel’s name.00:00 Welcome to Mary’s Message (Podcast Intro)00:45 Opening Prayer: Rosary & St. Michael01:48 Our Lady of Zen: Setting the Scene02:31 The Apparitions to Angelise in the Pyrenees03:55 Miracles of the Black Bread & Growing Devotion04:56 Shrine History: Chapel, Pilgrimages, Popes & Indulgences07:18 Trusting Mary + Lent Prep & the “32-Second Rosary”11:02 Next Episode Teaser, Weather Chatter & Closing Blessing12:27 Q&A Recap: Miracles, Marian Appearances & Guardian Angels14:40 Final Wrap-Up: Invite Friends, Subscribe & Stay Connected🎧 Subscribe, leave a 5-star review, and share this episode to help Mary’s message reach more hearts.Subscribe to our YT Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/@BlessedMarysMessagesJOIN our Mailing LIST to get updates and be part of our prayer communityhttps://sendfox.com/blessedmarymessagesShow Sponsors:BlueVeil Wellness                                                               Balance.
