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.

Responding to the Holy Spirit

Living as a faithful Catholic in a secular, post-Christian culture can be difficult. Dr. Sri highlights St. Paul's timeless advice about renewing our minds to remain steadfast in the Faith. By immersing our minds in the teachings of Christ, Scripture, and the lives of the saints, we can stay close to Jesus in a world filled with conflicting ideas and pressures.

If we don't fill our minds with Christ's teachings, the Scriptures, and the lives of the saints, then our vision for life becomes a bit blurry.
