    Holy Matrimony: A Vocation of Service

    Holy Matrimony: A Vocation of Service

    Have you ever thought of marriage as a sacrament of communion? The heart of marriage is not emotional support within a domestic relationship, but rather the mutual giving of two entire lives. Michael Gormley and Dave VanVickle compare and contrast how society and the Church view marriage and remind those partaking in and preparing for the sacrament that, when you serve your spouse and your children, you are truly serving Jesus Himself.
    Snippet from the Show
    Marriage is truly a crucible in the service of the people that you love.

    How the Anointing of the Sick Actually Works

    How the Anointing of the Sick Actually Works

    What is Anointing of the Sick? This sacrament can receive a lot of misunderstanding and confusion. Who can receive it? Is it for spiritual or physical ailment? What does it actually do? Michael Gormley and Dave VanVickle respond to these questions and offer their personal experiences of witnessing the sacrament.


    Snippet from the Show
    The Anointing of the Sick completes our conformity to the death and resurrection of Christ just as Baptism began it.

    Don’t Be Fearful of Confession

    Don’t Be Fearful of Confession

    How do you make a good confession? How do you cope with a bad confession? Going to confession is a very vulnerable thing. It can be a great experience, but occasionally, it can be a negative one. Michael Gormley and Dave VanVickle discuss some of the common reasons why people may have a negative experience in confession. They offer advice on how to respond and how to potentially avoid them all together.

Inspirational and Informative

Mike and Dave are great evangelizers and catechists. Their content is relevant, informative, and doctrinal. Worth the time invested!

Great content but too much banter

The hosts do a great job providing clear teaching and insightful pedagogy. I am frequently frustrated that i have to get through 5-10 minutes of banter at the beginning of each podcast before they get i to their topic. Many other otherwise good Catholic podcasts have the same problem. I am guessing some people like this but I am sure that I am not alone in disliking it.
