Winds of Change Show

The Two Tony’s on Tuesday and Father Anthony arrives from a funeral before the show started and the day seems to be slow (possibly due to the snow that fell in Chicago).  They pick up the conversation on the different political and social opinions, some of which have focused their attacks on the church.  From this, the Two Tony’s reflect once again on what is going on in society and the foundation and unit of the family, which in turn relates to our relationship with God.  Father Anthony also regales us with the Gospel Readings from last Sunday’s mass.

Lauretta Froelich is back on this Monday and she is very excited.  On the show, she has two very important guests lined up.  For the first half of the show, she has on the line: Jacqueline Hayes, founder and commercial realtor of the Chicago Help Initiative.  Jacqueline discusses with Lauretta not only her organization and those that they have assisted and helped with the suppers at Catholic Charities that were held, but also her documentary: I Have A Name, which focuses on the homeless population in Chicago. For the second half of the show, Lauretta has Elizabeth Yore, a attorney, journalist, and child advocate.  She and Lauretta discus the upcoming Vatican Health Care Conference, May 6th-8^th, 2021.  For more information on Lauretta’s guests, visit online at:

Due to technical issues, there is a good amount of static on the program.  We apologize for the inconvenience.

Time once again for the brain wrinkling discussion of Father Thomas Koys loyal listeners.  Today, he continues his examinations into looking at the resurrection and the identity of Catholics in America.  To aid in looking at these topics, Father Koys brings up the works of C.S. Lewis to help understand the resurrection and another prominent member of the church, Cardinal Spellman.    

Due to Father Anthony being away in Rochester, this is a re-air from March 30th.  Also, a second break has been added and edited for time at the end.  Thank you.

Holy Week Continues and Father Anthony is joined by Producer Nick for a bit, since Tony was on his way and stuck in Chicago traffic.  They discuss how many funerals are going on this week and when Tony arrives, the Two Tony’s continue on that subject and from this, it brings up the idea of our own mortality and also brings to mind our relationship with God and His meanings for us.  From this, it brings to mind how God works through the evil, sad, and everything negative and He is always there with us and to help and guide us.  This also shows how much has changed, not just because of the Pandemic, but from other factors in life.    

 

It’s Monday and we have with us Lauretta Froelich in the studio and (for a change of pace) Mary on the phone like guests are.  Today, the ladies discuss the day after Divine Mercy Sunday, as well as Divine Mercy Sunday itself, especially with the Pandemic getting closer to coming to an end.  They also discuss other things, such as Easter since it was last week and also the new strain of Covid-19 that’s hitting areas of the world.  They also discuss some of the things happening with the Parental Notification Law that has been talked about and its effect on many.

TGIF with the Two Tony’s on this Octave of Easter.  Today, they continue their examination of the Octave and how it’s a collective way for all to seek the Lord and Father’s forgiveness of sins and to guide us in our lives.  They also discuss the preparations for the Divine Mercy Sunday with lots to do and expect and to experience the feeling of set free, that is free of our sins and the feeling of being redeemed by God and how Gods love will help us in and with our troubles, problems, and stress.  Father Anthony also shares the Gospel Reading he presented this morning for the Children’s Mass.    

Thursday with the Two Tony’s, as they both rush in with the Spring Shower hitting Chicago today.  First off, they discuss how their Easters were, such as the masses held and what they did to celebrate Easter.  The topic of discussion is the Novena of the Devin Mercy that was expressed to be prayed by Jesus himself and explain the history behind that, as well as the importance of it, especially during this time.  They also point out how it’s necessary for everyone in this years Easter Season and how important it is now, with the world in the state that it’s in and when we seek the Lord’s forgiveness and mercy for our sins.  Since it’s Easter Thursday, the Seventh Day in this, Father Anthony talks about the specifics not only on this day, but the Octave’s other days too.       

Father Koys is here once again loyal listeners and today his focus is on something very important in the Easter Season: the Resurrection, not only of Christ, but of ourselves as well.  From this, Father Koys examines the topics of Heaven and Purgatory and to help on those points, he shares excerpts and quotes from the book: Everything You Wanted To Know About Heaven by Peter Kreeft, as well as continuing to look at his favorite authors works; G.K Chesterton.
