September's Teaching Moment

A plenary indulgence is a grace granted by the Catholic Church through the merits of Jesus Christ to remove the temporal punishment due to our sins. It applies to sins already forgiven. A plenary indulgence cleanses the soul as if the person had just been baptized. If visiting Italy, you can earn a plenary indulgence by visiting one of Rome’s four Patriarchal Basilicas. The indulgence is granted to those who devoutly visits one of these basilicas and recites one Our Father and the Creed either on the feast of the Basilica, on a Holy Day of Obligation, or once a year on a day you choose. The Four Major Papal Basilicas of Rome are St. John Lateran, St. Peter's Basilica, St. Paul Outside the Walls, and St. Mary Major. As you know, the plenary indulgence must be accompanied by the four prerequisites, namely, complete detachment from sin, even venial sin, sacramental Confession, Eucharistic Communion, and a Prayer for the Holy Father's intentions.

Carolina Catholic chats with TAN Books author, Patrick O’Hearn, about his newest book, Courtship of the Saints: How the Saints Met Their Spouses

For our second September show, our guest is Patrick O'Hearn who will speak with us about his book, Courtship of the Saints: How the Saints Met Their Spouses. In this wonderful show, Patrick will share how twenty-five saintly couples, including Joachim and Anne, Joseph and Mary, Elizabeth of Hungary and Louis IV, Gianna and Pietro Molla, Louis and Zélie Martin, and others, met their spouses. From the most ordinary to the most extraordinary circumstances, one thing is clear: Divine Providence was at work. Given the world we live in today, it's wonderful to learn how these saintly couples will inspire our youth to begin waiting and praying for a virtuous spouse. Still more, they offer wisdom and practical advice for those already married.

This show will air on Wilmington Catholic Radio's three stations, 91.7 FM, 93.1 FM, and 103.1 FM on Saturdays at 11 am and Sundays at 6 pm on the third and fourth weekends of September.  You can listen on-line live by clicking on the Listen Now tab.  Or, listen 24/7 by going to the Carolina Catholic tab and clicking on the show page.
