In this month's episode of “Ready, Willing, & Able,” titled “Mary, Walking with You and Your Family,” podcast host Genevieve Anatalio invites Father Matthew Kuna, Chaplain of St. Christopher Catholic Newman Center, Kutztown University and Berks Catholic High School, Reading, to dive into topics surrounding the Blessed Mother.
Father Kuna reminds listeners of Mary’s role in the universal Church, as well as her particular significance to the Diocese of Allentown in this 65th anniversary year. Anatalio asks about Mary’s role in the domestic church – the family – and they discuss how the Blessed Mother walks with families through joys, sorrows, and everything in between.
The episode also offers some practical ideas for families and schools to foster greater devotion to the Blessed Mother, and both Anatalio and Father Kuna agree that incorporating the Rosary into a regular prayer routine can have powerful effects on families and individuals.
Last, Anatalio and Father Kuna talk about how Mary is the perfect intercessor for those discerning the big questions in life, sharing her impact on their own vocation stories.
With beautiful reflections and lighthearted anecdotes, the episode gives parents a lens for reflecting on and praying to the Blessed Mother.
