The Catholic Morning Show – 06/12/2026

On this Friday edition of The Catholic Morning Show, Deacon Randy Kiel returns for a bonus segment unpacking the Sunday Gospel from Matthew 9–10, exploring the Greek origins of Christ's compassion and the calling of the Twelve Apostles. Fr. Nick Smith of St. Patrick's Parish in Perry joins to discuss his daily Gospel reflection podcast, his journey from parochial vicar to pastor, and his vision for deepening Eucharistic devotion in his community. Beth Bubik, author and CEO of the Catholic Fasting Coach Company, closes the show with a practical and spiritually grounded approach to permanent weight loss through Catholic fasting, rooted in the Church's liturgical calendar.
