Hey everybody. Welcome to you were born for this podcast with Father John Ricardo, Mary Gilfoyle. We are missionaries at Acts 29, and this is the podcast where we talk about anything and everything having to do with transformation in the church. Mary, how are you? I'm doing great, Father John. We're competing with the tree trmers today. You never know what's going to be around the office, do you? And I just wanted to let everybody know you're a year older than you were the last time we had.

Than you were on the last podcast. Yeah, thanks so much. I firmly believe that every momentous

occasion like a birthday should be celebrated, not just

for a day, but for an entire octave. Yeah, we're still very much in the throes of the octave,

and I'm milking it for everything I can. So ongoing birthday blessings to you, Father John. Grateful. Thank

you very much. Hey, we've got an interesting little topic this week as we prepare for the celebration

of Corpus Christi.

What's our title?

I do.

I love it.

It's very provocative.

Our topic today is worldly minds with Catholic patches.

Worldly minds with Catholic patches.

Yeah, we're stealing that from a friend of ours because we steal everything.

We're going to give them credit, though, in just a few minutes.

No, we're actually not. But anyway, we're going to break it open, and hopefully this will be a helpful way for us to enter into this great celebration that we're going to have this coming weekend.

And this three-year initiative of the bishops, and we're going to talk a little bit about that.

So why don't we pray, shall we?

Sounds great.

In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen. Father, we thank you for these days,

this time that we're living in, especially as we draw near to the great feast, to the body, blood,

soul, and divinity of Jesus given to us every day if we desire hidden under the appearance of bread
