How Was St. Joseph Chosen to Be Mary's Husband?
The Gospel of Matthew introduces Joseph simply as "the husband of Mary." But have you ever wondered how he became her husband in the first place? Scripture doesn't tell us how Joseph was chosen.

In this episode, Cyndi shares Ágreda's account of the selection of Joseph and uncovers a surprising connection to the Old Testament that makes one detail of the

What Can Humans Do That Angels Cannot?
We tend to think about everything angels can do that we cannot. But what if the Catholic understanding of suffering reveals something extraordinary that human beings can do that even angels cannot?

Why Did Mary Magdalene Think Jesus Was the Gardener?
Why does St. John tell us that Mary Magdalene mistook the risen Jesus for the gardener? In this episode, Cyndi looks at Mary's encounter with Christ outside the empty tomb and a fascinating reflection from St. Gregory the Great. Mary may have been mistaken about who was standing before her—but she may not have been entirely mistaken about what He was doing. This small detail in John's Gospel reveals something beautiful about the way Christ works within the human heart. Even when our prayers se
