How Was St. Joseph Chosen to Be Mary's Husband? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Gospel of Matthew introduces Joseph simply as "the husband of Mary." But have you ever wondered how he became her husband in the first place? Scripture doesn't tell us how Joseph was chosen. But ancient Christian tradition—and a remarkable account from the 17th-century mystic Venerable Mary of Ágreda—offers a fascinating backstory. In this episode, Cyndi shares Ágreda's account of the selection of Joseph and uncovers a surprising connection to the Old Testament that makes one detail of the s
What Can Humans Do That Angels Cannot? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We tend to think about everything angels can do that we cannot. But what if the Catholic understanding of suffering reveals something extraordinary that human beings can do that even angels cannot? A comment from Fr. Dan Reehil led Cyndi to look at human weakness, Christ's Cross, and our place in God's plan from a completely different direction. What Christ did with suffering changes what our own pain can become—and reveals that even when we think we have nothing left to give, we may still have
The Demon Knew His Sins—Then Something Changed (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Dr. Dan Schneider was assisting during an exorcism when something happened that stopped the session. What happened next—and what changed when one of the men returned to the room—offers a remarkable way of looking at something familiar in the Catholic faith.

Does God Lead Us into Temptation? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Does God ever lead us toward sin? When we pray, "Lead us not into temptation," the words can sound as though we are asking God not to tempt us—but Scripture tells us clearly that God tempts no one. In this episode, Cyndi explains what this often-misunderstood petition of the Our Father actually means, the important difference between being tested and being tempted, and why temptation itself is not the same as consenting to sin. She also uncovers a beautiful connection hidden in the order of the
Why Did Mary Magdalene Think Jesus Was the Gardener? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Why does St. John tell us that Mary Magdalene mistook the risen Jesus for the gardener? In this episode, Cyndi looks at Mary's encounter with Christ outside the empty tomb and a fascinating reflection from St. Gregory the Great. Mary may have been mistaken about who was standing before her—but she may not have been entirely mistaken about what He was doing. This small detail in John's Gospel reveals something beautiful about the way Christ works within the human heart. Even when our prayers seem
