Highlights from this episode of American Catholic Radio include:

Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati spent a good portion of his short life in service to the poor. His body has been flown to Sydney, Australia, for veneration at World Youth Day, where his life of service can inspire the young people in attendance.

Producer Judy Zarick talks with youth minister Pat Sprankle of Maryland on his experiences while taking youth groups to World Youth Day events.

Father Don Miller, O.F.M., responds to questions:
• How do I fight against temptations?
• Why didn’t God answer my family’s prayers?
• Does a human soul exist before conception?

This program’s Minute Meditation is from Living God’s Word: Reflections on the Weekly Gospels by David Knight.

Father Norman Langenbrunner tells us about Paul’s “Power to Tread Upon Serpents.”

Producer John Feister talks with Dr. Jane Regan of Boston College’s Institute for Religious Education and Pastoral Ministry. Dr. Regan is a nationally known author and lecturer on faith formation and mother of two—good credentials to talk about teaching the faith to young people.
