Episode Transcript
[00:00:24] Speaker A: Hey, everybody. Welcome to the Immaculate Heart of Mary Parish Podcast with Father Greg and JD we are probably Winona's favorite Catholic podcast.
Each week, Father Greg and I connect on a variety of topics related to our faith and our parish in Winona, Ontario. We are here to help spread the good news and further unite our parish community.
This is episode number 39, and we are celebrating the first two Sundays of Advent. St. Francis of Xavier. And I want to ask you about Purple in Adventure. Remember, you can find us on the Spotify, the Apple podcasts, and the YouTubes. So please like or subscribe, and we will find your inbox every time we produce new content.
[00:01:07] Speaker A: Father. So we just had this beautiful Kolamichi concert.
[00:01:12] Speaker A: And we haven't been able to catch up in a couple of weeks. So I just want to figure out, what have you been up to and what's been going on? I mean, that concert was outstanding last Saturday. A great introduction to Advent.
[00:01:24] Speaker A: All right, then.
[00:01:26] Speaker B: No, no, I'm just having fun. I like how you just said I.
[00:01:29] Speaker A: Was just gonna dive right into my question.
[00:01:31] Speaker B: You should dive in. But, yeah, I was just having fun pretending I can't talk. That was all I was really, like.
[00:01:38] Speaker A: It'S been a miracle. The gift of speech has been restored.
[00:01:40] Speaker B: It's been restored. Yeah. I was just seeing how far I could take the intro. Silence.
[00:01:44] Speaker A: Wow.
[00:01:44] Speaker B: Anyways, yeah, it was awesome. Kolamichi was fantastic. Everyone loved it.
People are raving.
[00:01:50] Speaker A: Raving. That's beautiful.
[00:01:52] Speaker B: Okay, go ahead.
[00:01:53] Speaker A: Can I give a quick shout out to the outgoing CWL executive and congratulate the incoming executive? Yeah. Whose new president may or may not be behind the camera today and each week.
[00:02:06] Speaker B: Do you mean Lucia?
[00:02:07] Speaker A: I mean Lucia.
[00:02:08] Speaker B: Whoa.
She's here.
[00:02:10] Speaker A: So, yes, big thank you to the outgoing executive. And congratulations to Lucia.
[00:02:15] Speaker B: Congrats. Thank you, Jesus.
[00:02:17] Speaker A: Which leads into my question. Is it common for inanimate objects to help us increase our faith?
[00:02:23] Speaker B: Depends how you use them, but yes, can be.
[00:02:25] Speaker A: Here's why I ask. A couple of weeks back, her coffee machine was condemned to death.
And despite our efforts, including.
[00:02:37] Speaker A: A wonderful conversation with a technician over the telephone and his heroic efforts, he guided me to perform all of the steps that I had performed myself the day before. Didn't happen.
Well, on the third day, you can probably guess where this is going.
[00:02:54] Speaker B: Then I want you to say.
[00:02:57] Speaker A: Didn'T come back to life.
[00:02:58] Speaker B: What?
[00:02:58] Speaker A: No. But on the third day, Rain and I were going to acquire a new machine.
[00:03:03] Speaker B: Is this a true story, or is this just a really long joke?
Okay, okay.
[00:03:07] Speaker A: Totally happened. Totally happened. Okay.
[00:03:09] Speaker B: I wasn't sure.
[00:03:10] Speaker A: No. We were going to acquire a new machine after our pit meeting.
And that same day, the CWL was having their silent auction.
[00:03:18] Speaker B: And there was a coffee machine.
[00:03:21] Speaker A: Yes. And we were able to acquire a new coffee machine on the third day by the grace of God.
[00:03:25] Speaker B: Wow.
[00:03:26] Speaker A: So God is good. Yeah.
[00:03:28] Speaker B: So.
[00:03:29] Speaker A: Not that my faith had not been restored, but it was another moment in helping further my faith.
[00:03:36] Speaker B: There we go.
The humorous potential implication there is your faith just died without the coffee machine. And then it came back.
[00:03:43] Speaker A: Oh, gosh. On the third day.
[00:03:45] Speaker B: Very time stuff, eh?
[00:03:46] Speaker A: Yeah. Oh, my goodness. So inanimate objects do have the power to help us increase our faith.
[00:03:52] Speaker B: This is true. That's what I said. Anyways.
That's a joke. I mean, it's true, but it's a joke, too.
[00:03:58] Speaker A: Oh, gosh. Well, that is a Father Greg quality joke and story right there. But after that, you better start us off with a prayer.
[00:04:04] Speaker B: Sure. In the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Lord, we thank you for all things coffee, machines included. We thank you for our faith, our friendships, our parish, this podcast, all our listeners, and most of all, that you love us and are with us always. Help us to be open to your presence, aware that you are here with us right here, right now, looking on us with love and affection.
Guide us in all we do. May Mary, St. Joseph, St. Michael be with us. We pray this in Jesus name name. In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
[00:04:33] Speaker A: Is there a Saint Nespresso?
Did you say a Saint Nespresso?
[00:04:38] Speaker B: Saint Nespresso.
[00:04:39] Speaker A: No, I have to look that one up. I mean, there are so many saints, it's hard to keep.
[00:04:43] Speaker B: Let's put it this way, I've not heard of such a saint.
[00:04:46] Speaker A: Okay. All right, well. And coffee is used by us for the glory of God each week.
[00:04:51] Speaker B: It's a gift from God.
[00:04:52] Speaker A: Yeah, exactly. All right, well, let us reveal the saint of the week. Not Saint Nespresso.
Another saint this week.
[00:04:58] Speaker B: Oh, man. I was gonna say, like, AI is hallucinating again. Saint Nespresso. Okay, so whatever else was in your.
[00:05:04] Speaker A: AI chat, we'll talk a little bit about fact checking too, this week.
[00:05:07] Speaker B: That's a good idea.
[00:05:09] Speaker A: Yeah. Each week we do saints are real, a saint or several, and share some facts about their lives. As we strive to live out our mission as Catholics, we can always look to our saints for inspiration.
So St. Francis Xavier, whose memorial is celebrated tomorrow, based on a recording Day was one of the great missionaries in Catholic history and a co founder of the Society of Jesus, also known as the Jesuits. Beautiful.
Traveling across India, southeastern Asia and Japan, he brought the gospel to regions largely untouched by Christianity and became a model of missionary zeal. He learned local languages, respected cultures, and emphasized adapting the faith to new settings. And his letters revealed deep compassion and courage, inspiring generations of missionaries. He's honored as a patron of the missions and his legacy endures in the vibrant Christian communities he helped establish as the Church's ongoing commitment to global evangelization.
So here, two other things that I learned. His incorrupt, though partially deteriorated body lies in a silver casket in the Basilica of Bomb Jesus in Goa.
And his right arm, the arm, traditionally said to have baptized thousands, is kept at a reliquary in the Church of the Jesu in Rome, where we were.
[00:06:29] Speaker A: A couple of quotes from St Francis give me children until they are seven and anyone may have them afterwards.
So the concept of instilling strong faith in the young and another many, many people hereabouts are not becoming Christians for one reason only. There's nobody to make them Christians.
That was fascinating as we talk about evangelization and RCIA and Bible studies and your ongoing efforts to help us learn the faith more deeply through this method, through homilies and every interaction that you have. So that was a very impactful one with me.
[00:07:10] Speaker B: Awesome.
[00:07:11] Speaker A: And there's a third, although I can't confirm this one. Jesus I trust in you.
[00:07:17] Speaker B: I don't think he said that. He made that up.
I think this is heresy.
[00:07:21] Speaker A: I don't think Chat GPT would lie about such a thing.
[00:07:24] Speaker B: Chat GPT is sketchy, bro. It's useful. But you know what? Little on the sketch side.
[00:07:29] Speaker A: Well, and this week's sketchiness, it gave me some other quotes that he did not say.
[00:07:36] Speaker B: There we go. See? See there.
[00:07:37] Speaker A: How to present did not say.
[00:07:38] Speaker B: Careful with that, Chet.
[00:07:39] Speaker A: So I. Yeah, I know. I.
[00:07:40] Speaker B: Hey, I was trying to mistake Mislead you.
[00:07:42] Speaker A: It is trying to mislead me.
[00:07:43] Speaker B: There's some good stuff about AI. Of course. I like AI sometimes, for sure.
[00:07:46] Speaker A: It has some very positive aspects, like finding a calculus solution when you really need one, but not necessarily for biblical quotes.
[00:07:54] Speaker B: It's a little iffy.
[00:07:55] Speaker A: Need a little bit of a deeper dive than just scratching the surface that time.
[00:07:59] Speaker B: I think it's better at biblical quotes than it is at saint quotes, because biblical quotes is like more likely to be like. But saint quotes is like there's more room for hallucination.
But Anyways, okay, joking aside, what else is on our podcast now?
[00:08:14] Speaker A: Well, I think I would like to ask you a question.
[00:08:16] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:08:17] Speaker A: Yeah.
Each week we respond to a question submitted by a listener or a question that we make up ourselves. This is our regular appeal. Please send us in some questions.
[00:08:26] Speaker B: We love questions. The harder the questions, the better. Like, I want you to stump us. Could we, like, call this, like, stump the priest or something? Oh, yeah, make it really, really, really.
[00:08:33] Speaker A: Hard, because it's like, stump the priest.
[00:08:35] Speaker B: Come on. It's like, you could try to stop me, but you don't. Why are you not submitting those questions? Okay, I'll be a little playful.
[00:08:41] Speaker A: I feel the challenge is out there.
[00:08:43] Speaker B: The challenge is out there.
[00:08:43] Speaker A: The gauntlet has been dropped.
[00:08:45] Speaker B: Boom, here we come. I want the challenge.
[00:08:47] Speaker A: Okay, so this is gonna be like, an easy fly ball for you.
You're wearing purple through masses, and I always thought purple was penitential.
[00:08:54] Speaker B: It's true.
[00:08:55] Speaker A: And Advent was more celebratory. So what gives?
It feels like there's a tension there.
[00:08:59] Speaker B: Okay. Interesting. Yeah. Purple is indeed a color that has the connotation of conversion, repentance from sin, and, more broadly speaking, sorrow, which is part of why purple can be worn.
[00:09:11] Speaker A: For funerals and why purple rain is.
[00:09:14] Speaker B: Such a sad song that I'm not going to comment on another chatgpt hallucination. No, I'm just joking.
Anyway, purple in Advent.
Before the Second Vatican Council's reforms of the Sacred Liturgy, Advent was formally considered a penitential season, like a sort of lesser Lent. But rather than preparing for Easter, it's preparing for Christmas. Right. That's a very big simplification, but just conceptually, it helped there. After Vatican II's reforms, the documents no longer call Advent a penitential season, although it was.
But still, it kind of carries that spirit of penance in some sense, because we are aware that we're preparing the way for the Lord by means of our own growth in holiness, which will always imply some level of turning from sin, some repentance, some conversion. And so purple is still very appropriate for Advent because we're turning from sin in order to prepare for Christ. And there is a joy. There's a real great joy about the excitement for Christ is coming. Right.
And we're excited, and we kind of channel that excitement into conversion.
[00:10:25] Speaker B: Beautiful.
[00:10:26] Speaker A: Yeah. I'm feeling this year, over different years, that.
[00:10:34] Speaker A: I guess, greater need to prepare in a bit more of a solemn way for Christmas than I have thought in the past.
And just through.
[00:10:44] Speaker A: Your homilies and Preparing us and through the various apps that are coaching us through admin as well. So it's been an interesting shift in my mindset over advance. So it's really cool, really cool to explore and to learn in that way.
[00:11:00] Speaker B: Can I make a side note about Advent?
[00:11:02] Speaker A: Side note about Advent?
[00:11:03] Speaker B: I have a priest friend of mine. I won't name his name right now, but he once said to me, like, why can't Christmas parties be in Christmas and Advent parties be in Advent? And I'm like, huh, that makes actually some good sense because a lot of times secular Christmas parties are already starting now. Right? The Christmas hasn't actually surgically come exactly. Like, the Christmas music is everywhere. And hey, I'm not saying that's evil or sinful per se, but it's kind of like we're acting as though Christmas has already come in some sense. Like, secular society doesn't really do Advent so much. It's just like Christmas season is preparing and then Christmas Day happens, and then it's Boxing Day and it's over. Whereas for us, we're preparing and then Christmas comes and then we have the Christmas season, and that's like at least 12 days more. Traditionally goes to February 2nd. So it's just a little bit of thing to be aware of, like, as we live our Advent. Live your Advent now. So it's not the same thing as the Christmas season.
[00:11:55] Speaker A: Oh, I love that.
That's great.
Okay, and so we're going to ban the 12 days of Christmas until.
[00:12:02] Speaker B: Don't sing it yet. No, I'm just joking. I mean, that's not. Yeah, you get the point. The spirit about it.
[00:12:07] Speaker A: Is there a Catholic or Christian tie in to the twelve days of Christmas gifts? And.
[00:12:14] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, you probably know that the song the 12 Days of Christmas was actually written as a way of teaching the Catholic faith for Christians who are being persecuted.
[00:12:22] Speaker A: I was not aware of that.
[00:12:24] Speaker B: Yeah, look that up.
[00:12:25] Speaker A: All right, all right, subject for.
[00:12:26] Speaker B: So each of the items and the things are actually symbolic of things in our faith. Okay. Yeah.
[00:12:34] Speaker A: All right, then I feel a challenge question coming up. Okay, we're going to. Going to put a bookmark in that one for. For a coming. A coming conversation.
[00:12:45] Speaker A: All right, let's see. Resource of the week. Oh, gosh. So the new missiles have landed.
[00:12:51] Speaker B: Hold on, hold on, hold on.
[00:12:53] Speaker A: This one.
[00:12:53] Speaker B: Whoa. It's a missile.
[00:12:55] Speaker A: It is a missile.
[00:12:58] Speaker B: Duck Sunday missile for young Catholics.
[00:13:01] Speaker A: Yeah.
And it was just a couple of episodes ago that I Featured and. Ooh, 3D. 3D missile.
[00:13:09] Speaker B: It became 3D when it got close.
[00:13:11] Speaker A: Just the beauty of the prayers that are contained within the missile and what a valuable resource it is, not just at Mass, but in leading up to Mass as well. And then the new missiles drop in the pews this week and oh, my goodness, we've acquired children's missiles. Whoa, whoa.
[00:13:28] Speaker B: For young Catholics. Young Catholics.
[00:13:29] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:13:30] Speaker B: Young Catholic misses Children. Bro. Children's. I don't know if children can read all this stuff.
[00:13:34] Speaker A: Stuff.
[00:13:36] Speaker A: Golly gee whiz.
So young Catholic missiles. Young in spirit and young in age.
[00:13:42] Speaker B: Exactly. Because the way I see it, anyone.
[00:13:45] Speaker A: That I've talked to about these, they.
I want to buy these.
[00:13:48] Speaker B: It's like, why do we have the other ones? We get these ones.
[00:13:50] Speaker A: Exactly.
[00:13:51] Speaker B: Young Catholics know where it's at.
[00:13:52] Speaker A: Young Catholics are going to know more of where it's at than we are because of the key words and the explanations.
[00:13:57] Speaker B: Catch them up.
[00:13:58] Speaker A: And there's a little bit of.
[00:13:59] Speaker B: There's like a little commentary.
[00:14:00] Speaker A: This commentary.
[00:14:01] Speaker B: Like a mini anomaly.
[00:14:02] Speaker A: It's like that's.
[00:14:03] Speaker B: And pictures. Pictures of the gospel or whatever.
[00:14:06] Speaker A: Yeah. So these are outstanding. And they're available at a parish office near you.
[00:14:12] Speaker B: That's right. We're going to sell them for $10 each.
[00:14:13] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:14:14] Speaker B: But we've also put 100 in the pews already.
[00:14:16] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:14:18] Speaker B: And this was a bit of an experiment. I got an email from the Chancery office about this and I prayed about it and I felt God saying, yeah, get some. And I got the number I felt called to get, but I had not really seen them much until they actually arrived. And I was like, you. I was like, whoa, man, these things are the bomb. Like, these things blow the other ones in the water. I mean, I get why these ones are slightly more expensive.
We're not really making any money per se. When we sell them for 10 bucks, they're a little more expensive, but at the same time, for a relatively small increase in cost, you can have something that helps you grow in your faith more. Get more pictures.
[00:14:51] Speaker A: Can you put a price on increasing someone's fee?
[00:14:54] Speaker B: I cannot.
[00:14:54] Speaker A: There we go.
So that is our 1 resource of the week. And the other one is this much touted website.
[00:15:02] Speaker B: Oh, the much touted website that has landed flaunted. Much touted, Much celebrated.
[00:15:09] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:15:10] Speaker B: Much spoken of.
[00:15:11] Speaker A: So it's out there. Add a nice little peruse of it. Some great.
[00:15:16] Speaker A: Rebranding of the existing content. Some great new Easter eggs in there as well. So some fantastic viewing.
[00:15:23] Speaker B: Is it like Ihmchurch Ca you're talking about?
[00:15:27] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. Not the new chatgpt it's the same as always.
[00:15:32] Speaker B: More hallucinations.
[00:15:35] Speaker B: Oh, wow.
[00:15:36] Speaker A: So Resource of the week, our new website.
[00:15:38] Speaker B: Some of the things I really love about it are on the main page. It's got links to our Instagram, Facebook X, our Spotify, with our parish podcast, our YouTube, our TikTok. I love that. It's got the events right there. It's got our Mass times. It's got like an up to date feed of our social media posts. And that's just the main page. And then I love the parish groups thing. Like when you look at how many groups there are, like how many groups there are.
[00:16:02] Speaker A: I know. They almost didn't fit on one page.
[00:16:04] Speaker B: Exactly. You're like, that's why father is so tired all the time, like keeping those things going on. Anyways, I'm excited about it because I think.
[00:16:12] Speaker B: Ihmchurch Ca.
[00:16:14] Speaker A: Ihmchurch go there today.
[00:16:16] Speaker B: Oh, you're gonna make a jingle. Ihmchurch Ca.
[00:16:22] Speaker A: Oh my goodness.
[00:16:23] Speaker B: That could be our new outro.
Sounds so cheesy. Yeah, okay. But if we sing it'll sound really good.
[00:16:29] Speaker A: We'll try that today.
[00:16:30] Speaker B: ChatGPT. We'll get to generate something else for us for that.
[00:16:36] Speaker A: Holy cow.
All right, so those two great new resources, Imhmchurch Ca and the Sunday Missile for Young.
[00:16:44] Speaker B: Is it IMH church?
[00:16:45] Speaker A: No, I started going down a different pathway, but I think I got all.
[00:16:49] Speaker B: The letters in the correct order. I think. Who knows where bro go there.
[00:16:52] Speaker A: Good golly gwiss. All right. Oh, I got another very interesting website for a church that I found. But that's an off camera conversation.
[00:17:01] Speaker B: Okay, okay.
[00:17:03] Speaker A: Upcoming events in the calendar. Liturgically, we have started the season of Advent and let's catch up a little bit. What's so cool about the first couple of weeks of Advent?
[00:17:13] Speaker B: What's so cool specifically cool besides Advent parties? Advent parties are peak w. They're mega win. They're so cool.
[00:17:25] Speaker B: Well, I think as I mentioned in last Sunday's homily and we'll continue to reflect on just like the excitement of preparing ourselves but not only for Christmas but also for Jesus second coming.
What might help you is to imagine Jesus second coming was going to happen at Christmas.
Just imagine you knew somehow that Jesus was actually coming back at Christmas. And I think that would help you also to tap into a key part of the aspect spirituality, sorry, the Advent spirituality of preparing for the second coming. We're preparing for Christmas. We're preparing for the second coming. I'd say the best way to prepare for Christmas is going to be accomplished if you try to prepare for the second Coming. Imagine Jesus coming back with all his angels and the saints are going to come on the clouds and it's December 25th and you know that.
How would that change the way you live? Maybe that's what the Lord wants you to do for Advent. Right. And then that's also going to get you the third coming of Christ is daily coming because it's going to make you live very intentionally, day by day, aware that Christ is with you already. Okay.
[00:18:25] Speaker A: And though we don't know the day or hour, get ready though it's coming on Christmas Day. That's really cool. Great way of thinking about it.
[00:18:32] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:18:32] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:18:34] Speaker A: Father, there's so much happening in our community. Our parishioners can check out the bulletin and this new website. Ihmchurch Cat.
[00:18:42] Speaker B: Amazing.
[00:18:42] Speaker A: I know. I got the letters in the.
[00:18:47] Speaker A: This weekend is especially busy. You did a full on commercial for everything that's happening this weekend. And I think every parish group has something happening this weekend.
[00:18:55] Speaker B: Yeah, I know. I'm sorry about the. The announcements. I know it can be a little long, but I promise they're worth it.
[00:19:00] Speaker A: Oh, they are 100% worth it. There's everything going on this weekend from the Santa Claus parade where the Knights of Columbus. And there's the St. Vincent de Paul collection and the gently used clothing and linens.
[00:19:14] Speaker B: That's right.
[00:19:14] Speaker A: Collection as well. Plus the.
[00:19:18] Speaker A: Holy relics.
[00:19:19] Speaker B: Personally. Holy Land Sebastian will come with items, handmade items from the Holy Land for sale.
[00:19:25] Speaker A: CWL luncheon.

[00:19:36] Speaker A: Oh yes, indeed.
[00:19:36] Speaker B: We have many more exciting things. And I have a new person who wants to join rcia. We might get up. I'm hoping we can get up to 20 people in our RCA program. If that's God's will. We just want his will. Anyways, lots of other exciting, exciting things. Wow.
[00:19:50] Speaker A: What a busy and happening and amazing place.
All under your guidance and leadership. It's wonderful.
[00:19:55] Speaker B: Thank you, Jesus.
[00:19:58] Speaker A: Father, there's so many people doing all this great work to support you.
Because none of these events happen in isolation. Correct.
[00:20:05] Speaker B: That'd be really hard for me.
[00:20:07] Speaker A: Who would you like to recognize in the parish this week?
[00:20:10] Speaker B: Well, I want to recognize this guy. I think his name is dj.
Dj. I mean jd.
[00:20:19] Speaker B: I don't know what that is, but. Sorry, you mean like, are you making a DJ beat?
[00:20:23] Speaker A: I should maybe move my hands.
[00:20:24] Speaker B: Sound more like a chimpanzee.
[00:20:26] Speaker A: Actually, it did.
[00:20:28] Speaker B: That was amazing. So here's a shout out for jd, but also you're like, that's. You're like, that's boring. Come on. No, it's not that stuff. Boring. But I saw in your notes that you wanted to give a shout out to Kolamici, the musicians that came this past.
This past Saturday night, and it was great. So shout out to Kolamichi.
[00:20:49] Speaker A: They were awesome.
[00:20:50] Speaker B: We'll have them back for sure. Beautiful.
[00:20:51] Speaker A: Yeah, that's excellent.
[00:20:53] Speaker B: You could be in Kolamichi the way you sing that jingle.
[00:20:56] Speaker A: Well, if I can be restricted to that length of singing something, then it might be okay.
[00:21:00] Speaker B: I see a lot of.
[00:21:01] Speaker A: Throw out a few. Throw a few extra notes in there and then it goes off the rails. I might start doing more chimpanzee noise. Look at it.
Oh, my goodness. All right, well, that is about all the time we have for today. Thank you for your insights today, Father. Shall we close with a prayer?
[00:21:16] Speaker B: Yeah. But before I do, I just want to say to all our listeners and viewers, I hope that you have fun with all this because as you can see, like, JD and I are just having a lot of fun and it's part of the. The whole thing. Eh? So thanks. Thanks for having fun with us. You know, it's obviously you want to be holy, want to follow Jesus, but like, thanks for having fun with us because that's fun. And so send us questions. Try to challenge me. Now we'll say a prayer in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Lord, we thank you so much for your love and mercy. We just entrust this podcast, our parish, all our families and friends, all our listeners, of course, to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, the imperial Immaculate Heart of Mary, the heart of St. Joseph, the protection of St. Michael. We ask, Lord, that you may guide us by your Holy Spirit, especially in this Advent season, but always help us to prepare our hearts for the coming of Christ, who always is knocking on the door of our hearts and desiring to come more into our lives.
May you guide us and bless us all. We pray this in Jesus name. In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
[00:22:13] Speaker A: Thank you for that, Father. And thank you for continually providing moments of grace over the airwaves for all of our listeners. Your presence is always a real Audio Lulia.
