We continue our exploration of the Beatitudes in this second installment of our three part series. Fr Cochran is back to offer his sage wisdom and understanding for us to contemplate. Join Nicholas as we further examine this most important and vital section of scripture.

Matthew 5, also known as the Beatitudes, is one of the most popular sections of the Bible. The words are simple yet powerful, mysterious, and compelling. But how many of us really know the depth of their meaning? There's quite a bit to unpack when it comes to these verses. Fr Cochran joins Nicholas in the studio to begin our deep dive into the Beatitudes.

From helping the poorest and most desperate of humanity all the way to the hallowed halls of Congress, Father Pat Conroy has lived a remarkable life. His breadth of experience has given him precious wisdom to share. Join Nicholas as we trace Fr Conroy's journey and discover the lessons that dwell there.

The Trinity is one of the most fundamental of Christian concepts. It is also one of the hardest to describe, as it is one of our deepest mysteries. It seems the more one tries to define it rationally, the concept moves farther away. It defies logic, but the attempt of understanding remains essential and eternal. Fr Victor joins Nicholas as we attempt to unravel this most sacred of mysteries.

In the beginning, God created the world in all its glory and bounty. He then created the creatures that would populate it. Finally, He raise up man from the earth and charged us with a sacred duty: to be stewards of the Garden. Though we may no longer dwell in Eden, our appointed task remains to be caretakers of Creation. Fr Guyol joins Nicholas as we discover the true meaning of Christian Stewardship.

Whether exemplars of a virtuous life or those martyred in the name of their faith, the saints hold a place of special importance in the religious life of a practicing Catholic. We look to them for inspiration and courage. We read and consider the wisdom of their words. We see what they do in life and are filled with awe. But who are they, and how did they come to be known as paragons of holiness? Fr Cochran joins us to consider our own lives when we look at the models given to us by the saints.

The concept of "Sin", as it appears in popular mythology, is a largely misunderstood one. There is this image of the self-hating Catholic who dwells on their failings constantly. However, this doesn't match up with the actual theology concerning sin and its place in our understanding of ourselves. Rather than a point of shame, it is an invitation to be redeemed through grace and to take a good look at ourselves through the eyes of the Divine. Fr Hightower sits down with Nicholas to delve into the sensitive topic of the nature of sin.

Prayer is a fundamental part of most religious practices with Catholicism being no exception. Our faith is deeply rooted in a relationship with a deeply personal God to whom we pray frequently for issues such as praise, gratitude, sorrow, or need. We have nigh countless prayers, with many asking the intercession of various saints and angels. Why do we pray so frequently and with such diversity? What is the benefit of consistent prayer to our soul and mind? Father Chris Weekly joins Nicholas for this episode as we explore the special aspect of our faith in the form of Catholic Prayer.
