All Things Catholic with Dr. Edward Sri

Often perceived as a simple greeting, the first word of the Hail Mary, 'Hail,' has deep biblical roots connected to the prophetic messages from the prophet Zephaniah. Dr. Sri explains how the word encourages us to find strength and joy in God's promises in the midst of seasons of waiting and suffering.
Snippet from the Show
"Just as Zephaniah called daughter Zion to rejoice, so does the Archangel Gabriel call Mary to rejoice."

The Power of the Hail Mary's Opening

Do you ever feel like Advent slipped by without fully engaging your heart? You’re not alone—and it’s not too late to refocus! In this episode, Dr. Sri explores the rich tradition of praying the O Antiphons, a beautiful part of the Church’s evening prayer and Liturgy that dates back to the early Church.
These 7 powerful titles of Christ—prayed before the Gospel in the days leading up to Christmas—invite us to cry out for God to come and act in our lives. Dr. Sri dives into their meaning and discusses how they can help refocus our minds, hearts, and souls on what matters most in these final days of Advent.

Mary, Cana, and Total Surrender

Dr. Sri explores the social media trend where couples reveal secrets in a judgment-free space. Delving into the implications of this phenomenon, he examines what it reveals about the human desire for connection and how it impacts modern relationships. Dr. Sri compares this trend to the true meaning and practice of Confession within Catholicism, highlighting the importance of private reconcialiation, contrition, and sincere change. 
Snippet from the Show
The "we listen and we don't judge" culture is a cry to be seen at the deepest level. In the sacrament of Confession, God does precisely this in a way that truly frees us..

Rediscovering the Hail Mary

How do you know if you’re truly growing in your relationship with God or just going through the motions with your faith? One key to answering this question is the theme of discipleship. Being a true follower of Jesus involves more than just going to Mass, believing the right doctrines and following the 10 Commandments. To be a disciple of Jesus is to imitate his whole way of life. Do you long to love Jesus with all your heart? Discover three simple things you can do to help ensure your relationship with Christ doesn’t grow stagnant, but is always being rekindled and deepened throughout your life.

“Follow Me”—The Art of Being a Disciple of Jesus

Your past doesn’t have to define you. This week’s feast of St. Matthew inspires us to consider how the God who transformed this sinner-tax collector into the great apostle can transform us in our own walk with Him today. Edward Sri takes us on a mini-tour in Rome to two of his favorite pieces of art depicting the life of this great saint. Along the way, we learn how to answer the call of God in our lives and take the next step of faith to which he is inviting us. God had amazing things in store for Matthew, but he first needed to leave his money bags behind. What might the Lord be asking you to do to follow him more closely this week? Put yourself in Matthew’s shoes and be ready not only to answer the call, but live it deeply day-by-day.
