On today’s Catholic Morning Show, we reflect on the transforming power of encountering the Risen Christ, dive into the timeless spirituality of St. Thérèse, and explore a dynamic pro-life mission in action.

First, Father Chris Rising joins us for a Gospel reflection on the Road to Emmaus, unpacking how the disciples’ encounter with Jesus in the breaking of the bread mirrors the Mass and challenges us to recognize Christ more deeply.

Then, Jason Gale from TAN Books introduces a new work on the spirituality of St. Thérèse of Lisieux, highlighting six practical keys to living her “Little Way” in everyday life.

Finally, Chris Massaro, president of Biking for Babies, shares how young adults are being transformed through mission-driven cycling pilgrimages that promote the dignity of life and support pregnancy centers across the country.

It’s a powerful episode centered on recognition, transformation, and living out the Gospel in daily life.

Credits: Produced, Edited, and Mixed by Ayden Pugh, Alexia Baker, and Brady Grimm.
