    Feast of the Assumption: Mary’s Glory, Our Hope

    The Feast of the Assumption: Mary’s Glory, Our Hope Cristy Murray and Father Perry Kenaston open the “Mary’s Messages: Leading Hearts to Jesus” podcast with prayer and Luke’s Magnificat, then reflect on the Church’s celebration of the Solemnity of the Assumption. Father Perry shares early Church tradition that the apostles (except Thomas) were gathered at Mary’s “falling asleep,” her tomb near Gethsemane was later found empty, and devotion continues there in pilgrimage; he notes the Assumption was defined as dogma by Pope Pius XII in 1950. They emphasize the Assumption as a sign of hope and a preview of believers’ resurrection, affirming the dignity and redemption of the body and Mary as model disciple and intercessor. Cristy asks about whether Mary died, and Father Perry recounts a folklore story. They mention Medjugorje pilgrimages, a 46-day Novena to Mary’s Mantle ending with consecration on August 15, request prayers for the Anchorage-Juneau clergy retreat, and close with a prayer. 00:00 Welcome to Mary’s Messages 00:36 Opening Prayer and Magnificat 01:18 Assumption Tradition and Empty Tomb 02:41 Dogma and Hope for Us 05:06 Assumption as Our Destiny 06:36 Mary as Model Disciple 07:31 Dignity of Body and Call to Action 09:08 Rosary Reflection and Assumption Poem 10:39 Did Mary Die 13:15 Apparitions and Medjugorje Talk 14:34 Holy Day Obligation and Consecration 16:57 Priests Retreat Prayer Request 18:33 Closing Prayer and Farewell Support the show 🎧 Subscribe, leave a 5-star review, and share this episode to help Mary’s message reach more hearts.

    Happy Father's day

    Father’s Day: Mary, Queen of Peace, and the Call to Be Good Shepherds Cristy Murray and Father Perry Kenaston host a Father’s Day episode of “Mary’s Messages: Leading Hearts to Jesus Today,” opening with a prayer to Mary, Queen of Peace for those in the military, victims of war, and unity among nations. Father reflects on the 11th Sunday in Ordinary Time Gospel from Matthew about the abundant harvest and need for laborers, connecting it to a shortage of priests and the shared mission of the Apostolic Church. He links readings about God’s care for Israel and Christ dying for sinners to the vocation of fathers—birth, adoptive, and priests—to bring God’s protective love to families and parishes, noting social harms of fatherless homes and positive movements encouraging engaged fatherhood. He leads a vocation prayer for the Archdiocese of Anchorage-Juneau, shares a personal story about his father, urges kindness and spiritual leadership, and closes with a Litany of Trust and podcast announcements. 00:00 Welcome to Mary’s Messages 00:37 Opening Prayer for Peace 01:29 Father’s Day and the Gospel 03:15 Homily on Fatherhood Today 08:36 Prayer for Vocations 09:32 A Father’s Day Joke 10:04 Dad Stories and Lessons 13:17 Closing Prayer of Trust 15:12 Wrap Up and Next Steps Support the show 🎧 Subscribe, leave a 5-star review, and share this episode to help Mary’s message reach more hearts.

    Our Lady of Montallegro

    Our Lady of Montallegro: The Icon, the Spring, and Mary’s Call to Obedience Cristy Murray and Father Perry Kenaston open the “Mary’s Message – Leading Hearts to Jesus Today” podcast with a prayer to Mary, Queen of Peace, then share the story of Our Lady of Montallegro in Rapallo, Italy (1557). A farmer, Giovanni Cioccavilla, reports Mary’s apparition and the discovery of an icon of her Dormition on the Hill of Joy; when villagers move the icon to town, it repeatedly returns to the hill, and a spring begins flowing where Mary stood, signaling her wish for a church there. A church is authorized in 1558, and later Greek sailors who claim the icon find it miraculously returned again. They discuss annual July processions, ex-votos, pilgrimage routes, other apparition sites (including Our Lady of Champion), and invite listeners to a 46-day “Mary’s Mantle of Grace” consecration from July 1 to August 15. 00:00 Welcome to Marys Message 00:44 Opening Prayer for Peace 01:22 Our Lady of Montallegro Story 03:00 Icon Returns and Church Built 04:26 Greek Sailors and the Storm 06:20 Pilgrimage and Feast Days 08:11 Lessons and Modern Apparitions 09:18 Approved US Apparitions Talk 11:53 Springs Icons and Wonder 13:29 Spread the Podcast 15:45 Join the Consecration 17:20 Time Flies Funny Banter 19:11 Closing Prayer and Farewell Support the show 🎧 Subscribe, leave a 5-star review, and share this episode to help Mary’s message reach more hearts.
