Right Now with Ralph Martin Renewal Ministries

In recent years, there have been various critiques of both Vatican II and the Catholic Charismatic Renewal. These critiques have varied greatly in quality and seriousness. In this video, Dr. Ralph Martin, Dr. Mary Healy, Peter Herbeck, and Pete Burak explain why both Vatican II and the Catholic Charismatic Renewal are true works of the Holy Spirit for our time.

Jude is one of the shortest epistles in the New Testament. It’s only one chapter and it’s written by Jude, the brother of James, who was the first bishop of the Jerusalem community and was martyred. He was also a relative of Jesus. It’s a strong epistle. Let’s read it together. It will only take about 7 minutes with a little commentary.

The whole universe, from distant galaxies to flowering tulips, is given to us as a gift of love intended to lead all human beings to a belief in their Creator and a desire to know his will for us. Everyone is given a chance. Everyone is given a summons by God to know him.

There are some startling things attributed to God in Psalm 2, a psalm that was an encouragement to the early Church when it encountered severe persecution. This week, Ralph takes a look at these realities as well as how Psalm 2 can be an encouragement to us today too!

Monica Pope sits down with Ralph to share her very moving conversion story and her love for catechesis.

In this week's episode Ralph talks about the strong concern the Holy Spirit put into his soul for the salvation of President Biden, and how important it is that those in authority in the Church love him enough to confront this dangerous and scandalous situation.
