Nine-year-old Maria from County Kerry sends in one of the oldest questions there is: if God loves us, why does he let bad things happen to us? Fr Darren Brennan takes it back to the Garden of Eden to work out an answer for this week's Little Big Questions. Feedback and questions: [email protected], or by text or WhatsApp to +353-89467-2000.

Fr Adrian Crowley and Naoimh Barbieri talk about the Holy Spirit in ordinary life: journaling at dawn, teaching children honesty through small things like an unpaid-for bottle of shower gel, and why an architect cousin insists AI will never replace a designer's heart. Two conversion stories anchor the conversation, a farmer who mended a bitter feud and a foul-mouthed policeman whose language changed overnight, alongside a case for praying the Novena to the Holy Spirit outside of Pentecost. L'articolo Catechesis – Saint Peter Claver: A Journey of Radical Love – Fr Adrian Crowley proviene da Radio Maria.

Naoimh Barbieri is joined by Fr John Keane, with Katie Taylor's night in Croke Park still fresh and eighty-two thousand people singing her walk-on song. Fr John was ten when a tumour put him in hospital in Cork for eleven months, and he spent the first several of them angry about it; he now says he can thank God for it. He tells the story of a morning in adoration when he was told to park an empty forty-foot truck outside a church he had no hope of filling, and what happened when he rang his bishop about it.

Fr Eamonn McCarthy and Matthias Conroy reach chapter three of Magnifica Humanitas, and the paragraph where Pope Leo XIV observes that these systems are more cultivated than built, and that nobody, the people who make them included, quite knows how they work. Matthias tells what happened when a model built for cybersecurity was set twenty targets and worked out that the shortest route was to attack the company holding the answers. If you take one paragraph away from the hour, Fr Eamonn says, take 99. Feedback and questions: [email protected], or by text or WhatsApp to +353-89467-2000.

Mary Hutton and Fr Raymond McCarthy read the parable of the unforgiving servant, the man whose ten thousand talents were written off before he took a fellow servant by the throat over a hundred denarii. Fr Raymond's worry is how few people come to confession while so many come forward for communion, and whether that is his own fault for not preaching more stridently. Mary offers something more practical for anyone carrying a wound they cannot put down: three steps, the last of which is to say the words long before you can mean them.

Liz Whyte talks to Joseph Campo, who has run the St Francis House since Fr Benedict Groeschel handed it to him in 1992, and who has now moved the work out of a gentrified Brooklyn to upstate New York. Joe went to Fr Benedict convinced he was going mad after something that happened to him at Medjugorje, in one minute, on the Feast of the Assumption, and was told he was indeed crazy, but batting for the right team. Most of the young men who reach him have never had a father, and in America the state's care of them ends on their eighteenth birthday. He says more gets settled at the dinner table than anywhere else in the house.

Fr Peter George Flynn is joined by Brother Ronan Sharpley from the Franciscan Abbey in Galway on Euphra, the Franciscan Youth, which is not simply another youth group and which exists properly in only one place in Ireland. Brother Ronan explains what the members actually promise, and why the second group's promise was a pact with each other rather than a devotion. Fr Peter tells how a group of young Italian Franciscans brought him to see the Shroud of Turin, where he found the tomb of a young man none of them had heard of, and whose name he now carries.

Aoife Collins talks to Eileen Bowden, national coordinator of the Flame of Love movement in Ireland, about a private revelation that began in Hungary in the 1960s through a widowed mother of six and has since reached nine countries. Eileen traces the movement's path from lockdown prayer calls to a papal blessing, and what a candle in a dark room has to do with blinding Satan. She also previews October's national conference in Knock, and a hundred-day prayer sequence for the souls in purgatory begun after an unusual inspiration at the shrine.

Belfast City Hall is to be lit up on 28 September to mark International Safe Abortion Day, despite a Belfast Telegraph poll running 98 per cent against it and twenty thousand signatures gathered in a week and a half. Carmela is joined by Barry of Guardians of the Faith, who was at the rosary outside the City Hall and then decided a novena was the answer. It was meant to be a national one. Inside forty-eight hours it had reached six continents. Feedback and questions: [email protected], or by text or WhatsApp to +353-89467-2000.

Deacon Thady takes his cue from Katie Taylor, who carried Psalm 18 into the ring, to make the case for praying scripture directly, the oldest form of prayer in the Church and, he argues, the one Catholics were quietly left out of. That opens onto the harder question underneath the programme: how will Ireland practise its faith when there are no priests left, and where does he think a new priesthood will have to come from? The hymn is The Nazarene, introduced by his daughter Evelyn, with the story of a Connemara fisherman and the gates of hell behind it. L'articolo RM Breakfast Show – Katie Taylor’s Psalm – Deacons Thady O’Connor and Fr Sean Sheehy proviene da Radio Maria.

Mary Stenson goes back to Fr Thomas O'Flynn's life of Frank Duff for a chapter on where Duff's spirituality came from: a man who read a book on the dangers of mystical experience and then prayed, with absolute fervour, that nothing of the kind would ever come his way. The discovery of de Montfort happened on a trip to Mount Melleray with a friend who drank, and the Legion itself began on the eve of Our Lady's birthday in 1921 with fifteen young women in Myra House. The second half is a recording of Venerable Fulton Sheen on parents whose children have left the Church, and on the difference between speaking to your children about God and speaking to God about your children.

Deacon Don Devaney brings Aiden Bourne a problem from his own doorstep: his eight-year-old grandson finds Mass boring, the thirty-year-olds find the homilies worse, and two hundred people pack a prayer group down the road every week because things happen there. Aiden's answer begins with the flat claim that a family is not a democracy, and moves to beauty, which he thinks the Church has largely stopped offering. A priest once wrote to ask him how to stop children reading Harry Potter, and Aiden told him not to try. L'articolo The Healing Power of the Sacraments – A Family Is Not a Democracy – Deacon Don Devaney and Aidan Byrne proviene da Radio Maria.

Nick Koeppel reaches chapter four of Christopher West's Theology of the Body for Beginners, on the resurrection of the body and what heaven will actually be like. If there is no marriage there, what becomes of our being male and female, and of the desire for union that marriage was pointing at all along? At the centre of it is West's line about his own wife, that she is not his ultimate fulfilment, and that we must not hang our hats on a hook that cannot bear the weight.

When discussing relativism, Christians must remember that we are speaking not merely about ideas, but to people—people who may carry deep wounds, disappointments and painful experiences. These people live in a relativistic culture. So, the first thing we need to keep in mind when dealing with relativism, is to lead with mercy. Jesus shows us the […] L'articolo Science, Religion, and the Modern World – Neither Do I Condemn You: Dealing with Relativism – Michael Flanagan and Gerard McReavy proviene da Radio Maria.

Deacon Don talks to former Tyrone football manager Mickey Harte and evangelist Anthony Crossley about Walk the Cross, the pilgrimage culminating in Croke Park on 27 September with Bishop Paul Dempsey and Fr Mark O'Rourke. Anthony traces the event back to a vision he received during adoration in Derry in 2023, and to a mystical encounter with Christ years earlier that changed the course of his life. Mickey explains how a stadium once filled for All-Ireland finals came to host something else entirely, and there's a story involving Pope Leo and a Tyrone jersey that neither man can quite explain. L'articolo Mickey Harte and Anthony Crossley – Walk the Cross proviene da Radio Maria.

Donal O'Sullivan Latchford and Fr Eamonn McCarthy open with a listener's point they cannot easily dismiss: why does an evangelical church so often feel more welcoming than a Catholic one? From there it is Songs of Praise on faith and the senses, a children's minister in south London who tells Bible stories with sand, water and uncooked rice for children who find words a barrier, and the BBC's slow radio, which Fr Eamonn suspects is reaching for something real without knowing what. They also return to Fr Cyril Axelrod, a priest who is both deaf and blind, and to the nine months that sit between the Immaculate Conception and Our Lady's birthday.

Fr Billy Swan returns to the Breakfast Show from Rome after his three-week summer break, working through last Sunday's readings on fraternal correction, the tricky business of challenging someone you love without driving them away. He offers three rules for getting it right, tested against Thomas Becket and a line from the Book of Genesis. The second half turns to the coming feast of Our Lady of Sorrows, and a memory from his first visit to the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem that changed how he reads it.

Fr Peter George Flynn hands the programme over to John Carlin, president of Radio Maria Ireland, for an unusually plain conversation about money. The station takes no advertising and no sponsorship, and sits down every January, John says, with a blank sheet against running costs of around fifty thousand euro a month. He explains why they keep it that way, and why he has come to think of being dragged along the bottom every few months as a happy fault.

Margaret comes from the Lee Valley on Our Lady's birthday, with flowers for the grotto and a garden that wants a light hand in September. She stopped watering her roses altogether and they have never done better, and she buries cloves of garlic beside them against black spot.

Caroline Busher is joined by Emma Andrews and Breda Broderick on Chiara Corbello Petrillo: A Witness to Joy, the story of an Italian woman whose first two children lived half an hour each, who delayed cancer treatment to protect a third, and who died at 28 and was laid out in her wedding dress. Breda gives it ten out of ten for a Catholic reader and four for anyone else, and explains the gap. Emma says starting it was like wading into a cold sea.

Deacon Don Devaney is joined by Peter McCann from Craigavon, a former professional footballer and, at 45, the youngest guest the programme has had in healing ministry. Peter's way in began with an alarm set an hour early, a Bible he did not know how to read, and three days of getting nothing at all from it. What follows are accounts from his own parish: a referee's back the night before a county quarter-final, a plumber facing a nine-thousand-pound ankle reconstruction, and a twenty-one-year-old whose spine realigned vertebra by vertebra in Peter's sitting room.

Mary makes a whisked strawberry sponge from three ingredients that bakes in twenty-two minutes, the cake her mother made for racing day at home. Between the folding and the filling she remembers running the bets down to the bookie with her brother, the coppers and sixpences they were given for it, and Miss Dorothea, the neighbour's racehorse she learned to ride on the strand, whom Michael O'Hehir once described on air as the never-failing last finishing filly.

A listener's text puts a question to Fr Peter George Flynn that canon law does answer, though not in any way most of us would guess: how does a deaf person make their confession? The answer runs through written confessions, interpreters bound by the same seal as the priest, and the fact that Irish Sign Language has one form for men and another for women. It ends in the sixteenth century with St Francis de Sales and a deaf servant named Martin, whose confessions contained no words at all.

John is joined by Sandra, back on the programme after months of illness, for an hour on caring and the 624,000 family carers in Ireland doing it at home. Sandra talks about her own diagnosis of secondary cancer, the month of waiting that followed, and what a nurse once said to a woman who had gone very low.

Eoin and Fr Chris Garrett continue their run through the Fifth Commandment, moving from organ harvesting and forced sterilization into a real disagreement between the two of them over COVID-era vaccine mandates, neither one giving much ground. The conversation turns to dying well, treating the dead, and what actually counts as righteous anger before Fr Chris admits he's thought through what he'd do if a Sunday Mass ever turned violent.

Fr Peter George Flynn returns to the confessional and to Canon 983: the seal is inviolable, and no circumstance lifts it. He explains why a priest questioned by police can truthfully say he knows nothing, what happens to a priest who breaks the seal and why only the Vatican can absolve him, and the cases in which a woman or a layman is bound by the same silence. Martin Luther, who rejected the sacrament outright, said that in getting rid of confession he had kicked the bottom rung out of the ladder to heaven.

Fr Eamonn McCarthy and Matthias Conroy continue their read-through of Pope Leo XIV's Magnifica Humanitas, moving from integral human development into the document's blunt test for any new technology: does it make us more human, or less? The conversation turns to a very practical case, whether a priest should ever let AI draft his homily, and to what Cardinal Ratzinger used to do before letting anyone senior speak in a room. They close chapter two on ecclesial accountability and open chapter three on the technocratic paradigm, the logic of efficiency that Pope Francis warned turns people into cogs.

Mary Hutton and Fr Raymond McCarty read the Gospel for the 23rd Sunday of Ordinary Time, Matthew's instructions for confronting a brother who has done wrong and the escalating steps that follow if he won't listen. Fr Raymond traces where that road can lead, as far as canon law and excommunication, while Mary turns to the finding of Jesus in the temple for a very different way of approaching someone in the wrong.

Aoife Collins talks with Luke McCann of Human Life International Ireland about the 32-county mission the charity has just completed, and the theology behind his insistence that Ireland isn't really wrestling with politicians or referenda at all. He traces what he calls a three-legged stool, from the decriminalisation of contraception in 1991 through divorce, abortion and euthanasia, and closes with a novena organised against Belfast City Hall's plan to light up in celebration of what it's calling "safe abortion day."

Carmela is joined by Joanne Cotter, who traces her family's return to faith back to her son's darkest year at school and the prayer group that found him there, and then to a nagging call during adoration to help the worker that she spent months trying to talk St Joseph out of. That call became a WhatsApp group of over 400 Catholic tradespeople and business owners who deliberately stay off social media, and is now growing into a magazine meant to fund its own members' equipment and training.

Deacon Thady is joined by fellow Deacon Brian Godfrey, raised in an English Catholic household with roots in Listowel, who traces a winding vocation story: a near miss with the priesthood, a near miss with the Benedictines, a chance newspaper ad for a Franciscan hermitage near Monte Cassino, and the volunteer he met there who became his wife.

Deacon Don Devaney and Aiden Bourne open with a photograph from Guatemala that stopped a Galway audience cold: a family's entire food supply laid out on a dirt floor beneath a galvanized roof. From there the conversation turns to a harder question closer to home, what's actually driving Ireland's rates of depression, self-harm and suicide, and why Aiden keeps landing on the same word: fatherlessness.
