Welcome, everybody. This is a U.S. great sports podcast. I'm Doug Barry, along with my very good friend, Father Richard Heilman. And tonight we've got Xavier A. R.R.L. is back with us again. And especially during Holy Week, this is a fantastic time to have him. And we're going to be talking about

the confusion and chaos going on in the world and in the church. What does this have to do with us now?

And what can we do in these times? Of course, we want to bring prayer into the beginning of this.

So, Father, we turn that to you.

In the name of the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit, amen.

St. Michael, the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our name of the Father of the Son and the Holy Spirit, amen. St. Michael, the archangel,

defend us in battle. Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God

rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly hosts, by the power of God,

cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world, seek in the root of souls. Amen.

In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Wonderful. Thank you very much, Father. And, of course, we always want to start off thanking everybody out there who supports the U.S. Grace First podcast.

If anybody's interested, click the link in the description below. So please join the team. Let's get that, let's get that message out as far and wide as we possibly can. You know, Father, it is Holy Week, and I know we wanted to start off. You wanted to give a little encouragement for everybody to kind of put things in perspective as this is being released on Wednesday of Holy Week. Yeah. So you can see in our title, I mean, there's confusion and chaos out there.

I mean, a lot of people are really feeling what's going on. Why? Because evil seems to be advancing so fast during this time.

And if you look at Holy Week, and we're actually recording on Monday of Holy Week, which would have been the feast of the Annunciation, but it was moved because the church does that.

If it's on Holy Week, they move it off so they can be celebrated on its own.

So it's moved off of Holy Week and the octave of Easter to April 8th.

And we just find it interesting.

I don't know what God's doing, but that happens to be when we're going to have a solar eclipse during that time.

As we're recording right now, I was just reading earlier today, we're in the midst of a geomagnetic storm from heaven.
