Heart to Heart

On Ash Wednesday, we hear the words, “Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return.” These words are not meant to discourage us, but to wake us up. In this episode of Heart to Heart, we reflect on what Ash Wednesday truly means, why we receive ashes, and how we can enter Lent with purpose instead of pressure. This is not about being perfect for forty days. It is about returning to the heart of God.

Ordinary Time can feel quiet, routine, or even boring compared to seasons like Lent and Advent. But most of our faith journey happens right here, in the ordinary moments of daily life.
In this episode of Heart to Heart, we reflect on how God meets us in the middle of our routines, our responsibilities, and our everyday choices. As we prepare our hearts for Lent, this episode reminds us that holiness is often built slowly and quietly, one faithful step at a time.

A new year brings new beginnings and new callings. In this special episode of Heart to Heart, we sit down with deacon candidates and their wives to talk about faith, family, and saying yes to God together. Through honest conversation, we explore how God works through change, uncertainty, and trust. This episode invites listeners to reflect on their own callings and where God may be leading them in the year ahead.

With recent episodes featuring incredible guests, this week we’re taking a step back to reflect on the simple, yet powerful, foundation of our faith. Fr. Matthew De Leon leads a heartfelt conversation on getting back to the core of Lent—prayer, reflection, and intimacy with God. This episode is about slowing down and having a true heart-to-heart with Him.

Lent is a time to step back, reflect, and renew our hearts as we prepare for Easter. In this special episode, Fr. John Markey, O.P. joins Fr. Matthew De Leon to share insights from his Lenten mission—a night of spiritual reflection designed to help us embrace this season with renewed purpose.
