On today’s Catholic Morning Show, John Gaffney, Director of Evangelization and Catechesis for the Diocese of Des Moines, reflects on how God speaks to us through Sacred Scripture, silence, holy desires, relationships, and the sacraments. Bo and John discuss Lectio Divina, learning to “listen with the ear of the heart,” and why modern Catholics are rediscovering the importance of silence and spiritual attentiveness.
In the second half of the show, Dr. Andrew Swafford of Benedictine College joins the program to discuss his new book, Next Stop the Afterlife: Unveiling the Truth of Heaven and Hell with C.S. Lewis’ The Great Divorce. The conversation explores purgatory, transformation, conversion, and why Lewis’ imaginative theology continues to resonate with modern audiences.
The show also celebrates the Feast of Our Lady of Fatima with reflections on the miracle of the sun, Marian devotion, and the Fatima message of prayer and peace.
