The Two Tony’s on Thursday and they have lots to discuss today. For one thing, Father Anthony shares more on the stress and distress that we all deal with and face, including some of the things that have caused stress and distress in the world recently. The Two Tony’s share how even though we do suffer, we also have the gratitude that God will still help us in our time(s) of need, bringing to mind again sacrifice and adoration. Another thing Father Anthony brings up is how he has talked to some people who have heard about the reported list of priests in Illinois that were/are deeply affected by the sexual abuse scandals, including those who are connected to them and the priests themselves. This in turn brings back how God will help in these disturbing times.
Father Koys is back this week and ready to wrinkle your brain again as he usually does and he’s letting the Holy Spirit guide us on the choice of topics today. With that in mind, Father Koys looks at chapters in World History and how it relates to today, things going on, and how our Church is today. His two major focuses on the show are: looking more at the Archbishop of Canterbury Thomas Cranmer (which he talked about last week) and the other is looking at a form of unconditional love, in terms of our relationship with God. First, by looking more at Thomas Cranmer, Father Koys examines him further by looking at a time in his life around 1532, during the reign of King Henry VIII. The second topic Father Koys discusses, unconditional love which he talked about at his sermon last weekend and applying it to Catholic and Non-Catholic areas, by bringing up Dennis Prager talking about it.
The Two Tony’s are here doing the show on this beautiful day in Chicago, for the sun is shining and not too cold, but comfortable. Father Anthony talks about the beauty around us in Chicago, not only with the weather, but the Chicago Skyline and other aspects. This allows him and Tony discuss the Feast Day of St Joseph and share some of the history behind him, being the Virgin Mary’s husband and the legal and Foster Father of Christ. From St Joseph caring for Christ, this allows the Two Tony’s to discuss how the world around us is full of sin and bad things, but there is still hope and goodness, as well as those who do good and good deeds, similar to how Saint Joseph took care of Christ. One other thing is Father Anthony asks all to think of one word that can lead to renewal with things around us and one aspect of the answer is sacrifice.

Due to Father Anthony still being away, but will arrive back in Chicago later on this afternoon and he will be on the show next week, this is a reair from February 15th, another very popular show. Thank you.
TGIF everyone and Father Anthony is so, so happy on the show today, not only is he joined by Cristina and Tony, but today they are joined by Mrs. Alexandra Fajardo and three students, Noah, Dyana, and Ivan from Saint Stanislaus Kostka School. The children and their teacher discuss the many positive factors and experiences about being students there and how good it feels to be a teaching providing a positive atmosphere and environment for the kids, in a way to “sell the school” as everyone puts it on the show or promote it. Mrs. Fajardo also explains how she got involved with the school, expressing many wonderful things that have helped not only her and her family, but the students as well and the community. The three students share what they like and enjoy at the school as well. Because the kids still have school, after the second break, Cristina and Tony join the conversation on education and school.
Due to Father Anthony being away and recovering in Rochester, but he will be back next week, this is a reair from February 28th and another one of our most popular shows. Thank you.
Distress and stress is the main focus of the show today with Father Anthony talking about all the upcoming things, meetings, and projects for the church, not only St. Stans, but also the church as a whole and in the world with people consumed by the feeling of working all the time. Father Anthony, Cristina, and Tony try to help in establishing the importance of how when dealing with stress, we need to sometimes take a day off or take time to relax and slow down, realizing things will get done and finished, to “re-energize” ourselves when many are consumed with the feeling of working continuously. Father Anthony, Cristina, and Tony share examples of how they’ve “re-energized” themselves and Father Anthony uses Paul’s Letter to the Romans as another example to put things in perspective.
Father Koys is back with us and due to it being Lent this month, he expresses more on what everyone needs to do or what everyone needs to try harder to do in order to save ourselves and renew our love with God. The main focus of the show today, besides Lent, is Father Koys looking at an Archbishop who helped in the toppling of Catholicism in the 1500s and with King Henry the 8th: The Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Cranmer. To help examine this man further, Father Koys shares historical written works on Thomas Cranmer, and his relationship with Thomas Cromwell.
Due to Father Anthony being away in Rochester again this week, and he is doing very well and alright, this is a rebroadcast of another one of our most popular shows from February 26th. Thank you.
The gang’s all here on this Tuesday and everyone is, as always excited to be on the air. Father Anthony starts off how he is excited and good about finishing this week’s letter he always writes. One question he asks Tony and Cristina, as well as all of you, “How do you assess the times we are in?” Both Cristina and Tony share some interesting answers of how things are the way they are today. One thing brought up mostly, is faith and how faith in people have either changed or stayed strong among some. This also brings up frustration with the signs of the times, bringing up the recent scandals that the church has been faced with. More questions raised along with this discussion include if the world is leading toward Armageddon and/or collapse due to things people have done, including some of the recent stories in the news. This again raises the Spiritual Battle Father Anthony has talked about numerous times, using The Lord Of The Rings trilogy to help with explaining this.

TGIF everyone, however this weekend, Father Anthony reminds all of us again that we need to “spring ahead” in terms of time and change our clocks. Friday Feeling is in the air and everyone is very happy Friday is here. Father Anthony, Cristina, and Tony discuss things going on in the educational system, as well as within the church in terms of how certain things are changing, looking at the gender perspective for one thing. This brings to mind how in life, there is disorder and a need for getting back to God if He is lost to some. Father Anthony also points out how in Life, we go through ups and downs in our lives and get hurt, as well as enjoy, but reminds us that God will heal us, which allows Father Anthony to ask the question “ Are we healing society?” and other questions. With all these questions within this discussion, it raises more on the importance of Lent.
