Highlights from this episode of American Catholic Radio include:
Saint of the Day
St. Frances of Rome
To assist us with our focus on the corporal works of mercy, we tell the story of this Italian saint, born in Rome in 1384, into wealth and status. She raised a family and also had a deep commitment to those in need—a commitment which was challenged when a terrible plague struck Rome and took the lives of one of her sons and her daughter.

Living Faith
Alice Wold is president of the Christ Child Society for the Diocese of Phoenix. Having a stroke at age 36 deepened her faith and led her to make prayer a focal point of her life. She is devoted to helping needy infants and children by providing handmade clothing, blankets and other necessities.
Ask a Franciscan
Father Hilarion Kistner responds to questions: Why does Jesus compare the kingdom of heaven to a mustard seed? Is there a relationship between the illness of the paralytic that Jesus healed and the man's sins? Does the number 12 have a special meaning in the Bible? What is the Book of Enoch?
Minute Meditation
This program’s Minute Meditation is from “"A Dilemma," written and read by Ursuline Sr. Bridget Haase. [#9] For more from Sister Bridget visit her website wisdomwonder.com.
Portrait of Paul
‘How Paul Preached’
In observance of the Year of St. Paul, we bring you another “Portrait of Paul,” from Father Norman Langenbrunner. What would it have been like to hear Paul preaching in a Gentile city, in the first century? Father Norm tells us how Paul may have come across in his missionary sermon, courtesy of the First Letter to the Thessalonians.

Exploring Our Faith
Our guest is Franciscan Father Richard Rohr, founding director of the Center
for Action and Contemplation in Albuquerque, N.M. Father Rohr, who lives
in a hermitage behind his Franciscan community in Albuquerque, divides his
time between local work and preaching and teaching throughout the world.
He is probably best known for his numerous books, audiobooks and video presentations,
including the bestselling, The New Great Themes of Scripture. He
spoke with producer John Feister about the spiritual work of mercy, “admonish
the sinner.”
