Highlights from this episode of American Catholic Radio include:
Saint of the Day
Rose Hawthorne Lathrop
To help us focus on the corporal works of mercy, we visit today with a character featured in the United States Catholic Catechism for Adults. She was a 20th-century American foundress of the Servants of Relief for Incurable Cancer. She devoted 33 years of her life to that corporal work of mercy.

Living Faith
Mary Diane Steltenkamp had been working as a nurse for years when she had the chance to bring her faith into her profession. She began serving as a parish nurse and helped to begin a parish nursing program and resource center at Catholic Charities in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
Ask a Franciscan
Father Dan Kroger responds to questions: How should I deal with an adult child who is abusive and disrespectful? How do I regain my Catholic status following instructions in, but not conversion to, Judaism?
Minute Meditation
This program’s Minute Meditation is from “From Catholic Update "Letting God In: Daily Meditations for Lent," by Franciscan Father Richard Rohr. SAMP
Portrait of Paul
St. Paul and Sexuality
In observance of the Year of St. Paul, we bring you another “Portrait of Paul” from Father Norman Langenbrunner. What does St. Paul have to say about marriage, sex and celibacy? According to Father Norm, modern scholars have difficulty interpreting what the apostle had in mind.
Exploring Our Faith
Author Antoinette Bosco writes from the experiences and events that have shaped her life. She is the author of more than 250 magazine articles and nine books. She has also been a syndicated columnist for Catholic News Service since 1974. Two tragedies have marked her life in recent years: the suicide of her son, Peter, and the murder of another son, John, and his wife Nancy.  “These events,” she writes, “have challenged me deeply to confront who I am, what kind of faith in life can I still hold on to, who is my God and can I rise from these ashes and still love life.” She focuses on forgiveness, one of the spiritual works of mercy.
