Restless Catholic Young Adults

As we are halfway through Lent, the temptation is to grow slack. Pray less; indulge a bit more; cut corners. We may make heroic resolutions for holiness, but find ourselves trapped in mediocrity! How do we know if we are being lukewarm in our spiritual lives, and if so, how do we get out of that rut? Tune in to hear Fr. Joseph, Diane, and Lauren discuss tips to overcome mediocrity in our quest for Heaven!

During Lent, we often choose to do difficult things - give up a beloved food, deny ourselves a pleasure, pray when it is challenging. Adversity - both the difficult things we choose, and that which God sends us - makes us who we are, if we are willing to learn the lessons that challenges want to teach us. There is no holiness without adversity; no growth without challenges; no Resurrection without the Cross. Tune in to hear Fr. Joseph, Joe, and Paul discuss how adversity has helped them to become the men they are today!

Everyone struggles with difficult people - perhaps a family member who rubs us the wrong way, or a coworker who is unpleasant to be around. How do we, as Catholics, love these challenging people? Fr. Joseph, Paul, and Lauren discuss tips and ways to overcome our natural dislike of certain people, so that we might love with true Christian charity, as God loves us all!

The news can seem kinda depressing. War, terror, the collapse of Western civilization...all in a day's headlines. How tuned-in should Christians be to current events? Where should they get their news sources? How can we keep joy and hope when the news around us seems depressing? And why is the "Good News" of the Gospel not as fascinating as today's headlines? Tune in for all the Restless (discussion about) news!

In the midst of a bleak and cold winter, one might question why we'd choose to live in the Northeast! As young adults who live transitory lives, should we "bloom where we're planted" or should we keep seeking to find the best location for us - where we live, where we work, etc. What are the positives and negatives in being so mobile, and how does it impact our spiritual lives? Tune in to hear the Restless crew talk about the blessings of living in New England, but also its challenges!

In our desire for evangelization, we often hear the phrase, "Meeting them where they're at." But where is that? What are the hopes and desires, the anxieties and grace-filled opportunities, of modern men and women? Tune in to hear Fr. Joseph and Diane discuss where they have seen grace working in modern men and women, and to hear "where they're at" so we can lead them to Christ!

We are surrounded by myriads of angels at all times! Pure spirits with vastly greater intellect, they accompany us on the way to Heaven, where they already praise God for eternity. Hear Fr. Joseph and Diane discuss our Catholic teaching on angels, and the times they have encountered angels in their own lives!

We often don't think about the most momentous occasion of our life - the day we were adopted as sons and daughters of God. What have been the effects of Baptism and Confirmation in our life? How can we make more out of these great gifts we have received? Tune in to hear the Restless crew discuss these two great Sacraments of Initiation!

With the impending election season and March for Life coming up, it's a great time to talk about how best to build a Culture of Life! Fr. Joseph is joined by Sr. Ann and Sr. Catherine Joy from the Sisters of Life to discuss how, in a post-Roe world, Catholics can continue to protect and affirm life in all its stages.

We celebrate a great Feast this weekend - the Epiphany of Our Lord. How much do you think you know about this great feast? And what does it have to say to our lives? Tune in to hear Fr. Joseph, Diane, and Lauren discuss this amazing Feast!
