Catechesis – A Journey from Searching to Faith – Fr Adrian Crowley and Sinead Forest (opens the original)
Read excerpt
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.

RM Breakfast Show – Cherished Daughters: A Retreat on Belovedness – Naoimh Barbieri and Sr Colette PCC (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Naoimh talks to a Poor Clare sister from Galway about the pull toward contemplative life that took hold during a Mass in Medjugorje, and the night she told her family, when her father cried and told her he was proud of her anyway. The conversation turns to a retreat she's hosting for women aged eighteen to forty, Cherished Daughters, with her own sister Louise as keynote speaker.
Is AI a Tool or a Master? – Magnifica Humanitas – Church Wisdom with Fr Eamonn McCarthy & Matthias Conroy (opens the original)
Read excerpt
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 thre
Gospel Tidings – Mary and Joseph in the Temple: A Model for Difficult Conversations– Mary Hooton and Fr Eamonn – 23rd Sunday OT [Year A] (opens the original)
Read excerpt
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. They close with Psalm 94 and a word on confession, and on what it means for two or t
