Welcome to the Luxurious Corner Booth of The FRENCH Catholic Cafe! Yes, we’re back in Lourdes, France once again on pilgrimage with the Order of Malta…and we’ve brought our studio with us so we can bring more great shows your way. In this first of twelve episodes, we welcome Margaret Melady, a Dame of Malta and President of the Federal Association of the Order of Malta, who discusses her personal relationship with Pope St. John Paul II and her book, The Rhetoric of Pope John Paul II.
Vocation For Life
Sister Mary Karen of the Sisters Of Life, an order of sisters devoted to protecting and defending the dignity of all human beings, especially the most vulnerable, joins Deacon Jeff and Tom in the Luxurious Corner Booth to tell the wonderful story of her discovery of God’s calling her to the consecrated life.
From Banker To Deacon
Is God calling you? He most assuredly is. In fact, He’s calling all of us…it’s just that sometimes we’re just too busy to hear Him. Join us in the Luxurious Corner Booth as we welcome Deacon Michael Stankiewicz, a Permanent Deacon from the Diocese of Wilmington in Delaware, as he speaks of God calling him to make the remarkable journey from a life of big banking to a life of diaconal service.
Men Of St Joseph
In many ways, St. Joseph is a wonderful model of true manhood. It is for this reason that a group of men who were seeking to become the best Christian men that they could be called their gathering the “Men of St. Joseph.” Join Deacon Jeff and Tom as they welcome Dr. Kevin Ryan, Executive Director of the Men of St. Joseph, to the Luxurious Corner Booth to discuss the meaning and purpose of this now-worldwide organization and also his own conversion story.
Come Holy Spirit
How much do we really know about living a Sprit-filled life? Let’s start by checking with Sacred Scripture! There are many wonderful insights into life’s blessings when filled with the third Divine Person of the Blessed Trinity found in the Bible. Join Deacon Jeff, Tom and Doug as they discuss just seven of the many “promises” that we can expect to receive when we invoke and welcome the Holy Spirit into our lives.
Porn
Pornography is typically underrated in it’s devastating effect on the human family. It is usually laughed off as “something all boys do.” Unfortunately, the statistics are alarming and there is a great need to awaken the awareness of fathers, sons and brothers as well as mothers, daughters and sisters to the destructive potential…and indeed, reality…of porn. Join Deacon Jeff and Tom as they welcome Tiffany Leeper, president and founder of Girls Against Porn & Human Trafficking, to the show.
Resurrection
Alleluia! Come and celebrate Easter with us in the Luxurious Corner Booth of The Catholic Cafe. Join Deacon Jeff and Tom as they discuss the concept of the Resurrection and also lead us into a discussion of our own bodily resurrection on Judgment Day!
The Devil Is Real
Have you ever been asked if the Devil is real? Have you ever wondered this yourself? Is there really some evil dude with a pitchfork trying to get you to sin? Join Deacon Jeff and Tom as they welcome back Peter Herbeck, Vice President and Director of Missions for Renewal Ministries to discuss the devil, sin and the remedy…Jesus Christ!
Living The Trinity
Are you a Trinitarian? Do you “live the Trinity?” Many people have a good relationship to one of the divine Persons of the Most Holy Trinity, but sometimes we find it hard to live life in a relationship with all Three. Join us in the Luxurious Corner Booth as Deacon Jeff, Tom and Doug speak of inviting fully into our lives the Triune God…Father Son and Holy Spirit.
The Number 40
Have you ever wondered why so many important events in the Bible lasted 40 days and nights or 40 years? That number 40 is actually significant and can tell us a lot about what the event is leading to. Join Deacon Jeff in the Luxurious Corner Booth as he, Tom and Doug discuss the number 40 and it’s biblical significance.
