Today on The Catholic Morning Show, Deacon Randy Kiel helps us explore the upcoming Sunday Gospel and challenges the way we often project our own wounds onto God. Fr. Matthew Luft joins us to discuss why the Church dedicates November to praying for the dead and how remembrance deepens our hope. Finally, Ed Van Buskirk shares the mission of “If You Love Me,” an apostolate calling families and parishes to rediscover the commandments as a path to love. A rich morning of wisdom, clarity, and renewal.
Deacon Randy Kiel opens the show with a reflection on the upcoming Sunday readings, inviting listeners to consider how our misunderstandings of others — and sometimes even God — can shape our spiritual lives. He challenges us to pursue understanding over projection, especially in our relationship with the Divine.

Ed Van Buskirk closes the show with a powerful conversation about the mission of If You Love Me. Ed reflects on how the Commandments are not rules to restrict us but invitations into authentic love, healing, and restored family life.
