In this powerful Catholic conversion story, we explore the life of Bartolo Longo—a man who became deeply involved in occult and spiritualist practices, only to find himself overwhelmed by fear, confusion, and a loss of peace.

Some accounts describe him as a “satanic priest,” not because he was ordained, but because of how deeply he had immersed himself in these practices and led others in them.

At his lowest point, he was given simple advice: return to the Rosary.

What followed was not an instant transformation, but a slow and real return to God—one prayer at a time.

This episode explores the dangers of the occult, the Church’s teaching on spiritual practices, and the quiet but powerful role of the Rosary in bringing peace, clarity, and conversion.

When Roman authorities demanded the Church’s wealth, they expected gold and riches. What they received instead shocked an empire—and revealed something far deeper about the heart of the Catholic faith.

As we enter Holy Week, this story invites us to see with new eyes. What does the Church truly value? What does Christ call us to give? And where is true treasure found?

How should Catholics approach almsgiving today? Does it only apply to the materially poor? And what if you feel like you don’t have much to give?

Ash Wednesday begins the Catholic season of Lent — a time when the Church calls us to remember death, judgment, and eternity. In this true Catholic account from Naples in 1707, St. Francis of Jerome warns a woman who mocked the reality of hell. Eight days later, the warning was fulfilled.

This sobering episode reminds us of the Four Last Things: death, judgment, heaven, and hell — eternal realities taught by the Catholic Church and proclaimed in Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition. Lent is a season of repentance, conversion, and returning to the grace of God through prayer, fasting, and almsgiving.

St. Alphonsus Liguori wrote that those who frequently meditate on the Four Last Things are far less likely to fall into mortal sin. The Church, in her wisdom, places this meditation before us at the beginning of Lent so that we may examine our conscience, seek the Sacrament of Confession, and prepare our souls for the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and the glory of Easter.

Has the modern world forgotten the reality of judgment? Have we grown comfortable with sin and resistant to grace? This true Catholic story is not meant to frighten for its own sake — but to awaken the soul to the urgency of salvation.

Do land acknowledgements go too far in Catholic churches and Catholic prayer settings?

In this video, Fr. Cristino — a Catholic priest with Indigenous heritage — offers a clear Catholic response to land acknowledgements, reconciliation, and prayer in Canada.

Land acknowledgements are now common across Canada — in schools, public events, and increasingly in Catholic settings. Many Catholics are asking sincere questions: What do land acknowledgements actually mean? When are they helpful? And when do they risk losing their meaning or distracting from prayer and worship?

In this thoughtful conversation, Fr. Cristino brings together his Catholic faith, Indigenous heritage, and pastoral experience to address these questions with clarity and charity. He explains the origins of land acknowledgements, the difference between traditional territory and unceded land, and why context and frequency matter.

In this discussion, we explore:
• What land acknowledgements are — and what they are not
• Whether they imply guilt, shame, or victimhood
• Why prayer must always remain central in Catholic gatherings
• How Catholics can approach reconciliation without ideology
• When land acknowledgements may be meaningful — and when they are not

Is Canada on the verge of banning public prayer? A Catholic priest explains what’s at stake for religious freedom, faith, and culture.
As Quebec moves toward legislation restricting public prayer, Catholics are asking a serious question: can prayer be pushed out of public life?

A proposed bill in Quebec would ban public prayer in streets, parks, and other public spaces. In this in-depth interview, Fr. Cristino offers a Catholic response to the growing push for radical secularism—explaining why this issue goes far beyond one province and why it matters for all Canadians.

This conversation explores the religious freedom implications of banning public prayer and asks whether secularism has quietly become a replacement religion in modern society. Drawing on Catholic teaching, philosophy, and the history of Quebec, Fr. Cristino explains why faith cannot be confined to private spaces without serious consequences.

KEY QUESTIONS ADDRESSED:
– Is banning public prayer a violation of human rights and the Charter of Rights and Freedoms?
– Can a government decide where and when prayer is allowed?
– Does forcing religion into private spaces increase division and radicalization?
– Why has Quebec moved from deep Catholic roots to hostility toward public faith?
– What should faithful Catholics do when unjust laws are proposed?

This video is essential viewing for anyone concerned about Catholic teaching on prayer, religious liberty in Canada, and the future of faith in public life.

Why does the Blessed Virgin Mary keep appearing — across centuries, cultures, and continents?

From Fatima and Lourdes to Akita, Kibeho, Aokpe, and Champion, Heaven repeats the same call again and again.

In this episode of Catholic Minute, Ken and Janelle explore why Mary appears in times of crisis — and what Heaven is asking of us today.

More than 70,000 people witnessed the Miracle of the Sun at Fatima — but Heaven was not putting on a spectacle.
According to Sister Lucia, Fatima was a warning: a call to repentance, conversion, and prayer meant for the world today.

On October 13, 1917, believers, skeptics, journalists, and government officials gathered at Cova da Iria in Portugal. In pouring rain, they witnessed the sun move, spin, and plunge toward the earth — an event now known as the Miracle of the Sun, one of the most documented supernatural events in modern history.

But while the crowd watched the sky, the children of Fatima saw something more — visions that revealed why Our Lady came and what Heaven was urgently asking of the world.

What Our Lady of Fatima Was Warning Us About? The Miracle of the Sun was not the message. It was meant to confirm the message.

Our Lady of Fatima came with a maternal warning:

• A call to repentance and conversion
• A summons to pray the Rosary daily
• An invitation to penance and sacrifice
• A plea to console the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary
• A sobering revelation of the reality of sin, judgment, and hell
  
  

As Sister Lucia later wrote,
“The message of Fatima is in its entirety a call to conversion — and that call is for us today.”

The O Antiphons Explained — the Church’s hidden Advent countdown to Christmas that most Catholics have never been taught.

From December 17–23, the Church secretly proclaims a message in the liturgy that points to the coming of Christ — and it’s hidden in plain sight.

For the final days of Advent, the Church shifts the entire focus of the liturgy toward the imminent arrival of Jesus Christ. Beginning on December 17, Catholics pray the O Antiphons — ancient titles of Christ drawn directly from Scripture — during Evening Prayer and at Mass.

In this episode, Father Cristino reveals how these seven antiphons — O Sapientia, O Adonai, O Radix Jesse, O Clavis David, O Oriens, O Rex Gentium, and O Emmanuel — are intentionally arranged to form a hidden Latin message when read in reverse.

That message?
“Ero cras.” — “Tomorrow, I will come.”

This is not a coincidence. It is a profound example of how the Church’s liturgy quietly teaches theology, Scripture, and longing for Christ — not through explanation, but through prayer itself.

In this conversation, you’ll discover:
• What the O Antiphons are and where they come from
• Why they are prayed only from December 17–23
• How O Come, O Come Emmanuel is rooted in the liturgy
• The hidden Advent message encoded in the antiphons
• Why surrendering to the Church’s liturgical rhythm forms us more deeply than we realize

This episode will change the way you experience Advent — and help you enter Christmas with greater awe, anticipation, and faith.

Before the Miracle of the Sun at Fatima, the Angel of Peace appeared and gave the Holy Eucharist to three shepherd children — a hidden chapter of the Fatima apparitions most Catholics have never heard.
Long before October 1917, heaven prepared the world through Eucharistic adoration, sacrifice, and reparation — revealing why Fatima is ultimately about conversion, not spectacle.

Most Catholics associate Fatima with the Miracle of the Sun witnessed by tens of thousands.

But before the crowds, before the controversy, before Our Lady ever appeared, God sent an angel.

In this episode of Advent Daily, we uncover the forgotten angelic apparitions at Fatima, when the Angel of Peace visited Lucia, Francisco, and Jacinta — teaching them how to pray, how to suffer for sinners, and how to adore Jesus truly present in the Holy Eucharist.

This episode explores:

• The Angel of Peace and the Fatima apparitions
• The exact prayers he taught the children
• The Eucharistic Communion given by an angel
• Why sacrifice and reparation came before Marian apparitions
• How this hidden preparation led directly to the Miracle of the Sun

In today’s episode of Advent Daily, we revisit the miraculous events at Tre Fontane, where three children witnessed the Virgin Mary in a burst of supernatural light.

As the children knelt in awe, the Lady in white appeared before them, radiant and peaceful. This encounter with Our Lady of Revelation shattered years of hostility in their father’s heart and revealed the mercy, truth, and maternal intercession of Mary in a profound way.

Our Lady of Akita: Verified Miracle, Marian Warning, Catholic Message

In the 1970s, at a convent in Akita, Japan, a wooden statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary began to weep human tears. Scientific testing confirmed the fluids were human tears, human sweat, and human blood. Across multiple years, the statue cried 101 times, witnessed by sisters, clergy, medical professionals, and investigators.

Sister Agnes Sasagawa, a member of the Handmaids of the Eucharist, received messages from Our Lady calling for prayer, penance, the Rosary, Eucharistic reparation, and fidelity to Catholic teaching. Her medically documented total deafness was instantly healed during Eucharistic adoration on October 13, the anniversary of the final Fatima apparition.

After examining scientific reports, witness testimony, theological studies, and documented healings, Bishop John Ito declared the events of Akita to be of supernatural origin and approved devotion to Our Lady of Akita.

THE INCREDIBLE CATHOLIC MIRACLE OF CLAUDE NEWMAN
This is one of the most powerful Marian conversion stories in modern Catholic history — a miracle connected to the Miraculous Medal, Our Lady’s intercession, and the grace of Holy Mother Church.

In 1944, a young prisoner named Claude Newman — with no Christian upbringing and no understanding of the Catholic faith — encounters a mysterious lady glowing with peace. She speaks one invitation that opens the door to his salvation:

"If you would like me to be your mother, and you would like to be my child, send for a Catholic priest."

In this episode of Ad Orientem: The Ancient Posture We’ve Forgotten, we look at what the Church and Vatican II actually teach about Mass orientation, “full and active participation,” and how this posture can help restore belief in the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist.

Did Vatican II require the priest to face the people? Short answer: no.
In this episode, we unpack *ad orientem*—what it is, what the Roman Missal actually says, and why the Church’s worship faces the Lord.

— EPISODE SUMMARY —
Fr. Dan and Ken walk through the Church’s teaching and practice on Mass orientation. We clarify common misconceptions about Vatican II, explain the idea of “liturgical East,” look at the Roman Missal rubrics that tell the priest when to turn and face the people, and review the year-2000 Vatican clarification that versus populum is an option—not an obligation. Pastoral takeaways: mutual openness, reverence, and a vertical focus on God.

— KEY POINTS —
• What “ad orientem” means: priest and people facing the Lord together  
• “Liturgical East”: crucifix/tabernacle as our shared focus  
• Vatican II: what it did—and did **not**—say about orientation  
• 1964 instruction on freestanding altars: an option for celebration facing the people  
• Roman Missal rubrics: why “turn to face the people” appears (and what that implies)  
• 2000 clarification (CDW): facing the people is **not** obligatory  
• Benedict XVI (Cardinal Ratzinger): avoid labels; seek the best realization of the liturgy  
• Pastoral how-to: reintroducing ad orientem prudently and catechetically

— QUOTES/REFERENCES —
• Michael Lang, *Turning Towards the Lord* (foreword by Joseph Ratzinger)  
• General Instruction / Roman Missal rubrics (on turning to face the people)  
• CDW, 2000 clarification on celebration facing the people

The Catholic Mass: Restoring the Sacred Through Tradition
Have we forgotten what makes the Mass sacred?

Every generation receives the liturgy as a gift — but not every generation guards it the same way. In this episode, Fr. Dan Yasinski and I explore how Sacred Tradition is the heart of the liturgy — and why recovering that understanding can renew the Church today.

We’ll look at:

➡️ Why we shouldn’t chase either antiquity or novelty
➡️ How Tradition develops under the guidance of the Holy Spirit
➡️ What “Restoring the Sacred” really means for today’s worship

Dan Yasinski, we explore what the Second Vatican Council actually taught about the liturgy, and what was implemented afterward.

Pope Benedict XVI once wrote that the crisis in the Church today is largely due to the disintegration of the liturgy.

On June 13, 1929, Sister Lucia of Fatima received a mystical vision that revealed the true depth of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. As she knelt alone in adoration, the chapel was filled with supernatural light: the Cross, the Precious Blood, the Eucharist, and Our Lady of Fatima appeared above the altar in a moment of profound spiritual power.

This Holy Thursday, we reflect on that vision—and what it unveils about the Mass, the Eucharist, and how heaven comes to us at every altar. The Catholic Church teaches that the Mass is Calvary made present, and Sister Lucia’s experience confirms this in a breathtaking way.
Whether you've followed us through Lent or are just joining, this reflection invites you to see the Eucharist with new eyes—and to welcome Jesus with renewed reverence.

It’s Holy Week.We remember Christ’s Passion—but are we chasing comfort instead of the Cross?

One man spends $2 million a year trying to stop aging. Supplements. MRIs. Oxygen masks. All to avoid what none of us can escape. And yet… he’s still empty.

St. Anselm of Canterbury, Doctor of the Church, reveals a greater truth:
🕊️ Perfect security that can never be lost
👑 Honor that raises beggars to royalty
🔥 Joy that heals every wound

This is the promise of Heaven—the glory Christ won for you.
As we walk with Jesus through His suffering and death, remember: Eternal life doesn’t begin later. It begins with Him.

Is Purgatory just a theological idea—or can it leave behind physical evidence?

In this powerful episode, Ken and Janelle share one of the most astonishing Catholic mystical encounters ever recorded: the 1859 apparition of Sister Teresa Gesta, a holy nun who returned from Purgatory to leave a burnt handprint on a wooden door in her convent near Foligno, Italy.

This remarkable event was thoroughly investigated by the Church and even documented by respected Catholic figures like St. Thomas Aquinas, Monsignor de Ségur, and Father F.X. Schouppe in The Dogma of Purgatory. It’s a chilling reminder that Purgatory is real, that even the smallest sins are purified after death, and that our prayers for the dead truly matter.

🎙️ In this episode, we explore:

• The chilling apparition of Sister Teresa Gesta from Purgatory
• What Catholic Saints and theologians say about souls appearing to the living
• The official Church investigation that validated this supernatural event
• How Masses, prayers, and sacrifices help the Holy Souls in Purgatory
• Why Purgatory is a place of hope, not despair

But true friendship with Jesus is proven through sacrifice, just as He showed His love for us on the cross.

I sat down with Fr. Cristino Bouvette, a Canadian Catholic priest with Indigenous heritage and asked him a number of questions surrounding this report - and the consequence of it.

Welcome back! Janelle is back, and today we’re diving into an important lesson from our family’s morning prayer time—addressing the vice of gluttony and its opposing virtue, moderation. As Catholic parents, we strive to teach our kids these spiritual truths using great resources like The Virtues for Catholic Youth from Catholic Sprouts.

We explore how gluttony isn't just about overeating but being controlled by food, which is a growing issue in our culture. From processed foods to the "bliss point," we uncover how modern society has twisted our relationship with eating. But there's hope! We discuss practical ways to mortify our senses and teach moderation, even in small, everyday actions.

Pope Francis says, “All religions are paths to God” at an inter faith gather in Singapore upon Sept 14. In this video Fr Stefano Penna explaining the Catholic position on other religions and we also discus what is problematic with the Pope’s statement.

Relevant quotes:

On Sept 13, in Singapore, Pope Francis to an assembly of youth:

“One of the things that has impressed me most about the young people here is your capacity for interfaith dialogue. This is very important because if you start arguing, “My religion is more important than yours...,” or “Mine is the true one, yours is not true....,” where does this lead? Somebody answer. [A young person answers, “Destruction”.] That is correct. “ All religions are paths to God. I will use an analogy, they are like different languages that express the divine. But God is for everyone, and therefore, we are all God’s children. “But my God is more important than yours!”. Is this true? There is only one God, and religions are like languages, paths to reach God. Some Sikh, some Muslim, some Hindu, some Christian.”

Welcome back to the podcast! In this episode, we delve into a vital conversation about Catholic parenting and what it means to raise a truly rich Catholic family. A recent question from my daughter—"Dad, do people who have no faith have a harder life?"—prompted us to deeply reflect on the wisdom of St. John Chrysostom and its relevance to our roles as Catholic parents.

Watch video podcast 

Throughout this episode, we share personal family experiences that have influenced our approach to Catholic parenting. We discuss the significant decision to scale back on career commitments to prioritize family, the importance of building a strong Catholic community, and how spiritual growth has become central in our lives.

We also address the challenges Catholic parents face today, particularly the struggle to balance career demands with the need for solid faith formation for their children. Whether you’re contemplating a move to a more faith-centered community or seeking ways to create one in your current environment, the takeaway is clear: the salvation of our children is more important than any career or worldly success.

Join us as we explore how to raise Catholic families rooted in wisdom, guided by the teachings of St. John Chrysostom. Let’s journey together toward nurturing spiritually rich lives for our children.

Key Takeaways:

• The importance of detachment from worldly riches.
• How Catholic parenting focuses on guiding children toward God’s will.
• The critical role of community in supporting Catholic families.
• Timeless wisdom from St. John Chrysostom on raising children in the faith.

In this video, we explore the profound wisdom of St. Alphonsus Liguori and St. John of Avila, who teach us that the essence of perfection lies in embracing the will of God in all things, whether prosperous or adverse. While it’s easy to align ourselves with God’s will during good times, true faith is tested when we face hardships and challenges. As St. John of Avila so beautifully put it, “One ‘Blessed Be God’ in times of adversity is worth more than a thousand acts of gratitude in times of prosperity.”

Your FAQs about the Blessed Virgin Mary answered. We have done many videos regarding devotion to our Holy Mother, and over the years. Today’ Fr Cristino answers some of the most common questions we have received:

Watch Video podcast

Dogma of the Immaculate Conception
"We declare, pronounce and define that the doctrine which asserts that the Blessed Virgin Mary, from the first moment of her conception, by a singular grace and privilege of almighty God, and in view of the merits of Jesus Christ, Saviour of the human race, was preserved free from every stain of original sin is a doctrine revealed by God and, for this reason, must be firmly and constantly believed by all the faithful”

Dogma of the Assumption of Mary
“by the authority of our Lord Jesus Christ, of the Blessed Apostles Peter and Paul, and by our own authority, we pronounce, declare, and define it to be a divinely revealed dogma: that the Immaculate Mother of God, the ever Virgin Mary, having completed the course of her earthly life, was assumed body and soul into heavenly glory.

The Holy Face Devotion is a forgotten Catholic practice within the Church. Sr. Mary of St. Peter played a key role in establishing this devotion as an archconfraternity for the entire world.

Pray Chaplet of the Holy Face of Jesus

What video podcast here

What is the history of the devotion to the Holy Face of Jesus? When Jesus was born, our Blessed Mother and St. Joseph were the first to adore the Holy Face of Jesus. Veronica, during the passion of Jesus, broke through the mob and wiped Jesus' face. Tradition holds that Veronica's veil reveals to us, through a miraculous image, the face of Jesus. The veil is kept in St. Peter’s Basilica. We also have the Shroud of Turin as an object of devotion, revealing to us the Holy Face of Jesus.

Jesus said to Sr. Marie of St. Peter: "I seek more Veronicas to console and adore my Divine Face, which has but few worshippers. He made me understand anew that all those who devoted themselves to this work of Reparation would perform the same office as Veronica." [Our Lord to Sr. Marie St. Peter on October 27th, 1845]

Sister Marie de saint-pierre wrote: Man is invited to repair the outrages made to His God and in a loving return He promises to restore His image in our souls! Let us, therefore, wipe the august Face of the Saviour, soiled with the spill of blasphemers, and He will wipe our soul, soiled with the spittle of sin.

But for now, praise be to God for His gentle, but relentless guiding of my heart toward Truth.

What constitutes mockery of God’s Divine Mercy? It's expecting profound blessings from God while refusing to amend or abandon sinful behavior. Consider the woman caught in adultery whom Jesus saved from a death sentence. Despite her imminent peril, Jesus didn't endorse her sin but instead urged her to "sin no more" after her rescue. God's grace doesn't condone our sin but beckons us away from it.
