10:39Canonization to Sainthood in August, 2025, Pier Giorgio Frassati represents a different kind of saint from the usual. He was not a priest or member of a religious order. He was a young layman whose prominent desire was to help the poor and needy in his hometown of Turin, Italy. He loved sports, loved to do pranks on his friends, was very creative both in education and his love for Latin and Dante, opera, theater and art museums. He desired to always be close to his group of friends especially in a spiritual relationship. Thanks for listening. MartinT…
A beautiful meditation from Richard Rohr, a Franciscan priest with the Center of Action and Contemplation that he founded in Albuquerque, NM. He is an author of many books and a speaker at many, many events in his lifetime. His description in this narrative is that God includes the imperfections of the human race and acknowledges them. God is perfect but, we are definitely not. Hope you enjoy. Thanks for listening. MartinT…
A short summary of what is a major transition in the interest of the Bible. Sales of the Bible are increasing-dramatically up 23% from 2023 to 2024. Overall book sales have only increased by 1% in the similar period. Interestingly, there is a 13% increase in Google searches(amazing that they would report this) in inquiries of Bible -related topics. There may be many factors for this, but experts seem to conclude in America, people are looking for time tested long range values as opposed to the contemporary view of constantly changing values. I hope you find this as interesting as I did. Could be a game changer for the future Thanks for listening. MartinT…
A book about the United States involvement in the nation's food programs and how they have ,perhaps, not chosen the best alternatives. There is such a reliance on foods such as carbonated sodas and high fructose corn syrup products that are totally regarded as unhealthy for the population. Thanks for listening. MartinT…
A story about Saint Martin of Tours. An unlikely saint whose early life was as a soldier in the Roman military. Even at a very young age, he gave away a good chuck of his salary to the needy in what ever area he was deployed. He is noted for a number of miracles that were performed in his life but the most striking example of his generosity was to share his cloak by cutting it in half with a freezing beggar. He had a vision of Christ that evening wearing the other portion of his cloak. Thanks for listening. MartinT…
A very interesting account of how these two brothers were almost fashioned by the way their parents treated them. One was favored-and one was not. It all worked out that the lesser in many ways became the greater of the two but after a long period of subservience. Thanks for listening. MartinT

5:09A member of the Congregation of Holy Cross, Brother Andre Bessette was a Doorkeeper, Sacristan and in lowly positions in his order. Yet, he had an intense devotion to St. Joseph, the stepfather of Jesus. People flocked to him for advise and help and his concerns were with the poor and sick always. Doctors criticized him, his superiors were skeptical but Andre gave full credit to Saint Joseph. In this episode, I refer to a Bishop as referring Andre as "I am sending you a Saint". Actually, it was his Pastor, a Father Andre. Also, I refer to the order as Congregation of the Holy Cross-it is actually just Congregation of Holy Cross. Brother Andre led an Interesting life!! Thanks for listening. MartinT…
Edward Bern's-a name not immediately recognized had a major impact on marketing and advertising in the 20th century. Whether it be product placement, now so common in movies or tv shows, pop-up mobs with a message, suggestive advertising, planned obsolesce or other categories, Bern's was a key to making this all a reality in today's culture. His clients were major firms such as Procter & Gamble(Ivory Soap), General Motors, Lucky Strike Cigarettes, Beech Nut Packing Company and Betty Crocker. Thanks for listening. MartinT…

A wide range of early discussions of food in the First Chapters of the Bible-Genesis and Exodus and then followed by Food Norms that were gathered from the Encyclopedia of the Bible and Bible Gateway sites.

4:26A short discussion about going about living in a way that is expanding beyond our usual paths. In essence, to move into realms that are less familiar, perhaps less comfortable and not always with people who are "just like us". Richard Rohr uses the example of Jesus leaving his comfortable surroundings in Nazareth where He was with his kindred Jewish neighbors and moving on to the territory of Galilee where there were more Gentiles located. We, too, should not always be just close to our familiar friends and locations. Thanks for listening. MartinT…
A short discussion on how Bishop Sheen became such a strong communicator both in radio and in television during the 20th century. He had a religious program on television that, defied the odds in its immense popularity. He was delivering audiences that, to some degree, challenged the likes of the star comedian, Milton Berle and others. His radio show lasted over 20+years but, he was a natural for tv with his sharp features and strong, clear, inspiring voice. He is up for Canonization as a Saint in the Catholic Church. Thanks for listening. MartinT…

11:39This recounts the early years of Peter Maurin, his development as a spiritual individual and, later, his profound impact on Dorothy Day and how they together started the Catholic Worker newspaper and hospitality houses. An unusual but rather profound person who never strived to be someone other than a spiritual but poor gentleman. Thanks for listening. MartinT…

7:18Some thoughts on unusual items for the home or traveling. The Cybertruck is a very advanced, almost space-aged looking vehicle that has just been introduced by Tesla. The Pocket Hose is a unique hose that differs from all others in that it has the appearance of a snake when water first goes into it, moving constantly and it works! Also a Pasta Cutter that takes all of the work out of forming fettuccine pasta noodles. Fun Products to view or use. Thanks for listening. MartinT…
