Father Perry applies Benedict’s principles to family life, urging basic Catholic practices like praying together, reverent Mass participation, Eucharistic adoration, and avoiding idleness and procrastination, while doing “little things well” and offering work to God.

    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 🎧 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 🎧 Subscribe, leave a 5-star review, and share this episode to help Mary’s message reach more hearts.

    Sacred Heart of Jesus: History, Promises, and Pilgrimage Insights

    The Sacred Heart of Jesus: Feast Day History, First Fridays, and Devotion Cristy Murray and Father Perry Kenaston introduce the podcast Mary’s Message: Leading Hearts to Jesus and discuss devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Father opens with a “Jesus, help me” prayer and explains the Feast of the Sacred Heart as a Roman Rite solemnity celebrated the second Friday after Trinity Sunday, outlining its history from early celebrations in France through papal approvals and calendar reforms, and noting practices like Mass, Eucharistic adoration, processions, and benediction. They mention nine First Fridays and connect devotion to prayerful participation in Mass and adoration rather than being “lukewarm.” Cristy reads the 12 promises of the Sacred Heart, references images for the home, and asks about the U.S. consecration to the Sacred Heart. They also share experiences of daily Mass in Medjugorje, discuss Father’s guided pilgrimages, invite listeners to a Poland Divine Mercy trip, and promote a 46-day “Mary’s Mantle of Grace” consecration from July 1 to August 15, closing with the Our Father. 00:00 Welcome to Marys Message 00:40 Sacred Heart Prayer 02:06 Feast History Explained 07:26 How the Feast Is Celebrated 08:59 First Fridays Devotion 10:44 Twelve Sacred Heart Promises 12:24 Prayerful Living Not Lukewarm 15:13 National Consecration Meaning 18:18 Medjugorje and Daily Mass 20:57 Pilgrimage Tours and Poland Trip 24:41 Marys Mantle Consecration Invite 26:21 Closing Prayer and Farewell 🎧 Subscribe, leave a 5-star review, and share this episode to help Mary’s message reach more hearts.

    Our Lady of Medjugorje: Experiences, Church Status, and What to Expect on Pilgrimage Cristy Murray and Father Perry Kenaston introduce the “Mary’s Message” podcast and focus this episode on Our Lady of Medjugorje, opening with prayer and sharing background on the small village in Bosnia and Herzegovina where six teenagers first reported apparitions on June 24, 1981. They describe Medjugorje’s core themes—peace, prayer, fasting, conversion, and faith—monthly messages given on the 25th through visionary Maria, and an annual March 18 message through Marianna, along with early government attempts to stop the events and the estimated 40 million pilgrims since 1981. They explain the Vatican’s September 2024 nihil obstat as permitting prudent devotion while not declaring every message supernatural. Cristy recounts travel logistics, climbing Apparition Hill, parish Mass and confession schedules, and losing luggage, while Father Perry recalls earlier pilgrimage experiences, including scents of flowers, a rosary changing to gold, and the “spinning sun,” and they close with a recent May 25 message and encouragement to subscribe and join the newsletter. 00:00 Welcome to Marys Message 00:52 Opening Prayer 01:42 Medjugorje Origins 04:17 Church Recognition Update 05:26 Getting There Travel Tips 06:17 Climbing Apparition Hill 07:45 Mass Confession Rhythm 09:32 Father Perrys Early Visit 14:28 Luggage Lesson and Trust 16:57 Latest Message and Devotions 18:33 Closing Prayer and Farewell 🎧 Subscribe, leave a 5-star review, and share this episode to help Mary’s message reach more hearts.

    Understanding Corpus Christi: The Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist

    Corpus Christi: Living the Eucharist as the Body of Christ Cristy Murray and Father Perry Kenaston welcome listeners to “Mary’s Message: Leading Hearts to Jesus Today” and focus on Corpus Christi Sunday, opening with prayer and reflecting on a recent parish wedding as a sign of the Church as the living Body of Christ. Father Perry explains the Feast of Corpus Christi as a celebration of the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist, its origins with Thomas Aquinas and Pope Urban IV, its move from Thursday to Sunday in the U.S., and customary Eucharistic processions and benediction. Drawing from John 6, he challenges listeners to examine whether they truly believe and prepare to receive Christ, resisting spiritual laziness and allowing the Eucharist to transform daily life and how they treat others. The episode includes discussion of procession history, brief mention of Eucharistic miracles, local humor, and a closing prayer for priestly vocations in the Archdiocese of Anchorage/Juneau. 00:00 Cold Open and Welcome 01:00 Episode Focus Corpus Christi 01:25 Opening Prayer 01:51 We Are the Church 03:34 Corpus Christi Origins 06:26 John 6 and Real Presence 08:35 Ritual or Relationship 10:34 Eucharist Transforms Us 13:36 Living the Body of Christ 15:52 Wedding and Family Witness 17:22 Procession History Q and A 19:52 Eucharistic Miracles and Devotion 23:08 Sacred Heart and Light Humor 26:05 Closing Prayer and Vocations 27:25 Wrap Up and Subscribe 🎧 Subscribe, leave a 5-star review, and share this episode to help Mary’s message reach more hearts.
