Bo Bonner, Alexia Baker, Ayden Pugh, and Brady Grimm open July on The Catholic Morning Show with two powerful conversations rooted in faith and farewell. Catholic apologist Steve Ray returns to unpack the July devotion to the Precious Blood of Jesus, tracing its roots from the Passover lamb to the Book of Revelation. Then Fr. Daniel Adjei reflects on ten and a half years of priestly ministry in the Diocese of Des Moines as he prepares to return home to Ghana.
In This Episode
Steve Ray on the Precious Blood of Jesus Author, pilgrimage guide, and Catholic convert Steve Ray — known to listeners as "Jerusalem Jones" — joins the show for his monthly visit to explain July's devotion to the Most Precious Blood of Jesus Christ, observed on its feast day, July 1. Steve traces the biblical theology of blood sacrifice from the Passover lamb through Peter's first epistle to the Lamb standing on the altar in Revelation 5, and explains how the ransom Christ paid with His own blood connects to the Eucharist today. Steve also shares happy family news: he and his wife Janet recently became great-grandparents to a baby girl, Filomena Maria.
Farewell to Fr. Daniel Adjei After ten and a half years in the United States — the last several serving parishes throughout the Diocese of Des Moines, including St. Francis, St. Joseph, St. Teresa, St. Pius X, and St. Catherine's — Fr. Daniel Adjei sits down to reflect on his ministry before returning to his home diocese of Sekondi-Takoradi in Ghana. He shares his journey from graduate studies at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh to pastoral work in Iowa, and offers a heartfelt word of thanks and blessing to the parishioners who welcomed him.
