Relevant radio is listener-supported radio. Talk radio for Catholic life. Welcome to our fall

pledge drive. Join the family. One hour to go in today, the second day of pledge drive. So let's bow our heads

in prayer and ask our Blessed Mother to pray with us and for us that we can achieve our need of

$1 million, $3 million by the end of this week.

Let us pray in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Remember, almost gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known, that anyone who fled to thy

protection, implored thy help, or sought thine intercession, was left in aided.

Inspired by this confidence, I fly into thee, O Virgin of Vourgents, my mother.

To thee do I come before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful.

O mother of the word incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy, hear and answer me, amen.

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

Well, I mentioned a moment ago, Rubin and Temecula had made a $1,200 gift this during Pledge

Drive, and I want to just mention Rubin that I know Temecula very well.

In fact, my mom and dad used to live just north of Temecula in an area that's now known as

Menifee. Back in those days, this would have been the late 1970s when they moved out there.

And it was horse country. There was really nothing out there. And Temecula was a little bitty town.

It didn't have much by way of anything there, kind of an old west type town, at least they had an old

part of it that was that way. And this is long before you really began to see all of the

congestion and traffic and just all the, all the things that have gone into that area.

It's so different now than it was then. But when I saw your donation, Rubin, I thought about

what Temecula was like, you know, 45 years ago.

And I don't know if you go back that far, but it brought back some really good memories.
