8 Ways Catholic Radio Can Help You in Everyday Life

The purpose of Catholic radio is to proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ to the world through the Truth of the Catholic Church.

 

Whether you are a new believer needing evangelization, or raised Catholic and in need of the “new evangelization”, Catholic radio is for you.

 

 

1. Programs on Catholic Radio Teach What Catholics Believe and Why

 

What sets the Catholic Church apart from others is the understanding that both Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition are equally important. They comprise the deposit of faith and are interpreted by the Magisterium.

 

These terms may be foreign to you. Your understanding of them may be limited. But as you listen more, clarity will increase, and you may find yourself explaining these foundational concepts to others.

 

 

 

2. Catholic Radio is a Companion During Lonely Times

 

We all go through periods when we are isolated, or no one is around to spend time with us.

 

Catholic radio with its variety of programs can be a comfort and companion when there is a desire to pray, learn, or be inspired. It’s a reminder that God is with us, and we are never alone.

 

 

 

3. You Will Find Hope in Times of Grief on Catholic Radio

 

Whatever loss you may experience, Catholic radio can be a balm for your soul. Grief can result from a rupture in a relationship, the conclusion of a job or experience, after a traumatic experience, or the death of a loved one.

 

Jesus was misunderstood by people in His time. He witnessed and was the victim of persecution (and execution). Family and friends of Jesus died. Jesus understands sadness and grief.

 

However, Jesus was born and died for us. He desires that we know and come to live Him. Catholic radio is a reminder of the hope we have in Jesus.

 

 

4. Catholic Radio Will Introduce You to New Spiritual Mentors

 

With our variety of programs, you will learn about and form new relationships in the communion of saints. These include:

 

• Mary, our Blessed Mother
• The 12 Apostles
• Popes
• Saints
• Martyrs
• Doctors of the Church
• The Angels, including your Guardian Angel

 

Praying with the daily Mass and hearing about the saint or feast of the day is only the beginning. Program hosts, in teaching doctrine, will quote Church Doctors and popes. Others will include stories or testimonies of God’s help through His angels and His saints. All these can inspire you on your spiritual journey.

 

 

5. Listening to Catholic Radio Will Inspire Devotion to Jesus

 

There are many ways to know Our Lord better. Praying along with the rosary and Divine Mercy chaplet is an opportunity to meditate on the life of Jesus, and on His Love and Mercy for you.

 

You’ll hear program hosts teach about the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. You’ll also be reminded of the power of His Healing presence in the sacrament of Confession. Through Catholic radio you will hear Jesus calling you to frequent the Mass and sacraments.

 

 

6. You Will Be Shepherded to Remain Strong in Your Faith on Catholic Radio

 

With distractions and busyness in everyday life, it is easy to get sidetracked. There are also many concerning things happening locally and in the world.

 

Don’t be discouraged! Catholic radio is rooted in the liturgical year and will beckon to you when you get off track or need to refocus on the sovereignty of God.

 

 

7. Catholic Radio Hosts Will Teach You To Recognize “Godwinks”

 

Has someone called when you were low? Have you read a Scripture verse and it seemed it was meant just for you? Sometimes we think of these instances as merely coincidental.

 

However, God uses many means to reach out to us. Perhaps you have never experienced such a thing or wondered if you were imagining something.

 

When you learn more about Christ and His Church, His angels and the saints, you will see things through a spiritual lens and be amazed at what God is doing to bless you personally.

 

 

8. You Can Be a Light to Others When You Listen to Catholic Radio

 

Sometimes we don’t know what to say or do when we are in the presence of someone who is struggling. It may not be our talent to engage in an in-depth discussion about why the Catholic Church has the fullness of Truth.

 

However, we become like the things we read, the people we associate with, and the things we listen to.

 

As you listen to Catholic radio, you’ll understand the faith better. Next, the words will come from the Holy Spirit when needed. Finally, others will see a visible peace when they are in your presence.

 

You will be the Light of Christ for others and can share the gift of Catholic radio to help them in their everyday lives.
