Busted Halo Show w/Fr. Dave Dwyer

Father Dave welcomes licensed marriage and family therapist Tommy Tighe to discuss how Saint Dymphna can inspire those in the midst of depression. Tommy is the author of "I'm Depressed — Now What? Saint Dymphna's Guide to Building Your Depression Playbook."

A listener named Linda asks Father Dave about praying the Rosary. She asks, "When [praying] the Rosary, and we get to the Mysteries — are we just reading the Mysteries, or do we concentrate on the visual of the Mystery while saying the Hail Mary? Help!"

As we continue to commemorate 250 years of the United States of America, Father Dave welcomes author and journalist María Ruiz Scaperlanda to discuss Blessed Stanley Rother, an American on the path to sainthood. María is the promoter of his cause for canonization, author of his biography, and a contributor featured in the upcoming movie "American Martyr: The Stanley Rother Story" coming to theaters later this month.

A listener named Hannah asks Father Dave about saints who have received the stigmata, or wounds of Christ. "When saints have received the stigmata, they have it in the palms of their hands – Take Saint Francis and Saint Padre Pio, for example," Hannah says. "If Jesus was crucified with nails in his wrists, why wouldn't the saints' wounds be in their wrists?" She notes that the answer isn't a "dealbreaker" for her faith, but was curious after gazing upon the crucifix.

Two listeners ask Father Dave questions about discerning the priesthood. First Devin says, "I feel like God might be calling me to priesthood, but I'm really not sure where to start. There are so many different options for which type of priest I could be. Any advice?" Another listener named Randy asks Father Dave about his religious order, the Paulist Fathers. Randy asks, "What led you to be a Paulist? Were there other orders that caught your eye when choosing how to serve the Church?"
