    Rooted and Rising: Surprising Truths About Mother Teresa (and What They Mean for Your Faith Journey)

    In this episode of Rooted and Rising, co-host Julie Shore sits down with Father Michael Pray—parochial vicar at St. Francis Xavier and chaplain at Gettysburg College—to explore an EWTN article on ten lesser-known facts about Saint Teresa of Calcutta, a decade after her canonization. You probably picture Mother Teresa in the streets of India, but her story begins far from there. Born in 1910 in Skopje (then part of the Ottoman Empire, now the capital of North Macedonia), the youngest of five siblings felt an early call to religious life. She left home at 18 and followed a winding path of discernment that took her across continents and communities—proof that God often invites us beyond our comfort zones. Father Pray and Julie unpack what that looks like in real life: how free will, “God’s laughter” at our neat plans, and the truth that He wastes nothing shape every detour. They connect Mother Teresa’s chosen name (after St. Thérèse of Lisieux) to the Little Way and her radical service among the poorest of the poor—while reminding us that not every saint’s charism is meant to be copied exactly. Later, the conversation turns to one of the most striking facts: Mother Teresa endured roughly 30 years of profound spiritual darkness. Far from a sign of failure, Father Pray offers a compelling take on why God may have “pulled the shade down,” the power of persevering in dry prayer, and how ordinary Catholics can recognize invitations to something new or deeper in their own lives—whether in parenting, career shifts, or everyday faithfulness. With practical wisdom, honest storytelling (including Julie’s own major career pivot), and an encouraging close on prayer and forgiveness that doesn’t always come with warm feelings, this episode meets listeners wherever they are on the journey. It’s a conversation that both honors a modern saint and speaks directly to anyone who’s ever wondered if God is still near when the consolations fade. Tune in for prayer, insight, and a fresh look at a familiar saint.

    Family Show October 2, 2026: Are My Eyes Seeing, Or Do My Eyes See Not?

    When you search for Jesus, do you find Him, or do you find He’s beyond your grasp?  When you look to Jesus, do you see what you expect, or do you see what He created you to see?  In your daily walk, do you recognize Jesus’s voice, or do you hear no voice at all?  If you’re finding yourself restless in your seeking and lukewarm in your relationship with God, if you’ve forgotten that Jesus longs for you to find Him and that He created you to recognize His voice, maybe it’s time to shift into overdrive with Eleanor, Brenda, and Randy, and park yourself on the promises that those who seek Him with their whole heart find Him, and those who find Him experience all that is abundant life.
