Highlights from this episode of American Catholic Radio include:

We continue our series of saints who wrote great spiritual classics. St. John of the Cross was a great mystic and Church reformer who also suffered greatly. Out of his profoundly moving spiritual journey comes one of the best-known explorations of what he called “the dark night of the soul.”

Cathy Adamkiewiez wrote a book called Broken and Blessed about her baby who died at four months. She expresses the great blessing and gift that her child’s short life was to her and to all those around her.

Franciscan Father Don Miller answers questions:

Does God punish us here on earth or only after death?

What does the Church teach about owning or carrying weapons?

May a child of unmarried parents be baptized in the Church?

This program’s Minute Meditation is from The Mystery of the Transfiguration by Capuchin Franciscan Father Raniero Cantalamessa.

We continue to exploring the meaning of the biblical stories of the Resurrection. Kimberly Hahn tells us one of the most dramatic and colorful resurrection stories—the one about two disciples of Jesus and their encounter with him on the road to Emmaus.

Norbertine Father Alfred McBride, author of many books, including a six-book series on the Bible, four books on the Catechism of the Catholic Church and—most recently—A Short History of the Mass, published by St. Anthony Messenger Press. Father McBride speaks about Divine Mercy Sunday with producer John Feister.
