TGIF and once again everyone is “flying” in for the show today, with Christina and Father Anthony being the only ones on the show, at least at the start, saying Tony is on his way. The latest Gerri update is given by Christina and says that she is having her procedure that they have talked about today, so all of us at Winds of Change and listeners offer their thoughts and prayers for her and a speedy recovery. Also, Producer Nick is happy today celebrating his 6 months with his girlfriend too. On a different note, Father Anthony talks about a project he’s working on, aiming at the “young guys in the neighborhood” he says, offering prayer to those who need to reconnect with God or come back to God, continuing his discussion from yesterday on Atheism. And as the title says for the show, today is the Feast of the Sacred Heart, so Father Anthony shares some history behind that, as well as it in the modern era now. This brings up a reminder that God is our companion and guide for us in our lives and a call to have the Lord come to us in a specific way. Father Anthony shares some Father Son stories that are similar in tone to the Feast of the Sacred Heart, as well as through this, reminds us that God is with us and we are affected by the world and the Spiritual Battle we face, including addictions and other things we are drawn to, resulting in “a sickness,” but that God knows what we are facing and up against, but is with, helps, and guides us in our times like this, which relates to how some may turn to being Atheists after being in periods of doubt, but being the Sacred Heart proves God has a Heart and loves, cares, guides, and helps us. Tony joins us after the first break and talks about how his wife was away but is back now and he missed her while she was away, which reignites the discussion a bit from yesterday on vacations. Father Anthony also shares a story around Max again too, leading to talk about relationships, even after Tony talks about his wife. With the hour going by quick again, Father Anthony shares some final thoughts with Tony and Christina on the Sacred Heart and how we need God.
Today, everyone is happy to be here, Father Anthony pointing out that Tony has “cleaned up” and that is clean shaven and looks different Father Anthony says LOL. However, on a more serious note, Gerri who accidentally drove her car into here garage and in the process has injured herself in terms of fracturing her spine and everyone offers their thoughts and prayers to her for a full and speedy recovery. With Christina describing what kind of procedure she’ll be going through. Another thing everyone seems to be struggling with Father Anthony points out is this summer’s seasonal allergies and continuing in the health area, Father Anthony talks about a recent video and article he read regarding a trampoline. After talking about all that, after the first break, summer being the time for many to take vacations, Father Anthony asks, not only Tony and Christina, but everyone the question on what people like to do on vacation. Father Anthony shares a bit on what he’s done, including his Annual trips to Rome and how he’s prayed, as well as talking about our established relationship with God. Tony and Christina share their ideas of vacation too. On a different note, Father Anthony takes the discussion on a more serious area, with the subject of Atheism , due to talking about our Faith and relationship with God and how important He and religion are, turning to it and Him in our dark times and doubtful times, allowing Father Anthony to mention some articles he read. With this in mind, it leads to a very insightful discussion on Atheism vs the belief in God.
Father Koys is with Tony and Producer Nick occasionally today and Father Koys is very happy to be here again. However, due to computer and technical problems and updates that occurred by themselves on the air, we apologize for any problems with that, but were worked on during the show. Again, we apologize. Despite that, Father Koys talks more on freedom, religion, religious freedom again as the main focus and picks up the discussion from last week on one of his heroes, Larry Schweikart, author of the book A Patriots History of America and Father Koys, along with Tony feel that they can debater him on his turf, providing some of the audio from one of his recent discussions. Tony and Producer Nick at times voice their views on religious tolerance to help with this debate. Another area Father Koys goes into is religious history in Europe, related to what Schweikart is talking about. Also, due to the computer problems and updates, Father Koys uses that in the show in terms of religious tolerance, meaning and speaking of “updates and glitches that need to be fixed.” This also looks at historical areas of the past involving religion and Catholic Battles, including the Roman Empire, Muslims, and Protestants
It’s Tuesday and today Father Anthony is with Christina and Tony and today is the official First Day of Summer, even though it feels like it’s been here for quite a while now. The feeling is very good today with everyone and still wishing Gerri a good recovery going through some personal things and surgery too, but we all wish her our thoughts and prayers to her. With Corpus Christi going on last week, everyone talks about how that celebration went over the weekend, as well as Father’s Day and Producer Nick’s birthday and what Father Anthony was and is working on. With the recent procession going on this past weekend too, Father Anthony reminds us that Life itself is a procession, that we keep on going and going through things, both good and bad, but guides us and accompanies us with things. Father Anthony also offers thoughts and prayers for all who are sick this week, including those on St. Stanislaus Kostka’s staff, including the Soup Kitchen. The Eucharist is the main focus Father Anthony talks about with Tony and Christina, as well as all, reminding us that it is a mystery revolving around this. Father Anthony continues to point out with this in mind, that many are suffering, not just those friends and staff in the hospital this week, but also the violence going on in Chicago and how we are all connected in a way and with God, affected by many things, with Christina and Tony offering their opinions on this and their feelings on things going on.
Due to scheudling complcataions, Mary will not be able to make it to the show live for next week Monday June 19th, so this is a rebroadcast from last Monday June 12th. Thank you and this will officailly air on Monday June 19th.
It’s Monday with Mary FioRitio and today she is very, very excited to have on with her today, Pastor Caeser LaFlore Pastor from The Spirit of Liberty Church of God, founder and President of PowerLight Ministries in Chicago, as well as being in charge of many Pro-Life Organizations, the minority outreach director for the Illinois Federation for Right to Life. Leading into the discussion Mary and Pastor LaFlore are going to talk aobut, brings to mind the tragic shootings and deaths that occurred this past weekend, leading to talking about violence, which abortion in a way is. Pastor LaFlore shares with all about his Faith, as well as his feelings on the work he does with women and people, in particular the African-American community with Pro-Life. Pastor LaFlore shares his feelings on how he got involved in dealing with abortion and Pro-Life and as he says, “its impact in the black community” with him sharing some very personal stories surrounding his involvement with this particular issue. After the first break, Pastor LaFlore talks about some of the people he has met during his time with dealing with abortion and Pro-Life, but also during recent workshops he’s been at in talking about Pro-Life, leading to talking about racism here. He also goes into talking about how many children in the African-American community come from a single parent home and talks about how times are different and perhaps why the violence has risen as well, due to the “destruction of the black family” Pastor LaFlore says being an expert on family. With Mary asking more questions on this, Pastor LaFlore also points out how not only on family itself, but due to the Father’s not being around, how the children suffer and perhaps lead to the rise of violence in people, in Chicago as mentioned, with Pastor LaFlore talking about his own family, being from a family of eight and how his family was. This also raises some points on how the music in this particular group can be very violent and vulgar which can or could be related to some of this too. Mary too relates with people she has helped too. This also brings to mind many issues surrounding the African-American Community in terms of marriages and employment. On a final note, Mary asks Pastor LaFlore on what can be done or can be done this summer at least to try to stop the violence.

TGIF everyone, but everyone offers and sends their thoughts and prayers for Gerri who is absent today and going through some things. One another note, Father Anthony talks about being delayed from his trip to Rochester to get his recent treatments and being delayed due to the storms Chicago went through this week. He talks about the flight itself and going through the long wait times for it, as well as those around him. He shares how many, many flights were canceled due to the storms, making it frustrating for people and relates to the frustration Father Anthony has mentioned before. After the first break, Father Anthony points out many good things coming up, including Producer Nick’s Birthday over the weekend and Father’s Day on Sunday too. Father Anthony also points out this week is Corpus Christi and much is going on with that, with Father Anthony providing a story of Moses on this. Along with Christina and Tony, Father Anthony brings up the recent tragic shootings as well with several United States Representatives who were shot at this week, some in critical condition, bringing to mind “the crazy world we live in” Father Anthony says, bringing to mind how we have lost some things along the way, as well as bring to mind some opinions about President Trump, both good and bad, leading to a “sickness in society” everyone says on the show today and a difference in the times too. With all this in mind, Father Anthony shares with all a prayer from the Knights Of Adoration to help provide healing and comfort with all this craziness.
Due to the recent storms that passed through Chicago yesterday and last night, Father Anthony's flight back got canceled until this afternoon and couldn't make it in for the show. Once again, this is a reair from June 1st, 2017 and May 11th 2017. Thank you.
TGIAF again on this Thursday and Father Anthony is with us along with Tony and Christina today and once again in the Spiritual Battle. In particular, Father Anthony and Tony talk about some impressive sights seen the Processions going on, which will be going on this weekend too. With the Saint Stanislaus Kostka School Open House going on today, Father Anthony brings to mind the changes in society. This also continues the discussion from Tuesday with how things have changed and as everyone talked about, turned the world we live in upside down, as well as continuing who we are and what we are in terms of the service to the Church and to God, as well as taking us out of and bringing us back to our comfort zones and deepening our Faith in God. After the first break, because Producer Nick checked in on everyone and made sure everything and everyone is okay, Father Anthony goes on how everyone is tired and a nonstop day and week, but have to keep going. Father Anthony also continues on being interviewed by many due to the Jubilee year, as well as filming going on around, including when he went to Rome recently too, as well as bringing up other things going on around everyone.
It’s Wednesday and as always, Father Koys is here with us again on the show and is very excited to be here. Picking up this discussion from last week and before, Father Koys talks about one of his heroes, Denis Prager, who has had many discussions in the media surrounding many issues, some that Winds of Change has talked about. One of the main focuses on here with Denis Prager in mind, is the distinctions between Catholic Christians and Protestant Christians, with Father Koys expressing that in this day and age, we need to work together. Another of Father Koys heroes he talks about mainly today and tries to analyze what he recently talked about at Prager Univeristy, is Larry Schweikart, who discusses religious tolerance here on the show, provided with a few audio clips of his most recent discussions on this, as well as being a history fan as Father Koys is, many historical parts are brought up from and in America, with religious tolerance and patriotism. But the audio clips from Larry Schweikart bring to mind the questions and answers that possibly are brought up on religious tolerance. This discussion raises some key points that you, our listeners, may agree or disagree with since many have their own opinions on things and these topics. This also raises different views regarding political views too.
On this Tuesday, Dave Carollo is back with us being in Chicago to speak at St. John Cantius tonight regarding the June 13th, 2017 Fatmia Celebration. Joining him today is Craig Johnson from St. John Cantius and Barb Ernstern who has been on before. The main focus of the show today is Dave and Craig discussing the June 13th, Fatima Celebration. Dave also talks about the many other celebrations going on for the Blue Army and coming up this summer and soon too. The discussion turns to talking to Craig about some of the things going on for St. John Cantius, not just tonight, but also coming up, as well as the significance of things such as the Fatima Celebration, with Craig explaining and answering many questions regarding things surrounding this, including the Apparition and Our Lady. After the heated discussion regarding all this, Barb is finally brought on talk add her opinions on this.
