Join two Marian priests, Fr. Timothy Childers, MIC, and Fr. Thaddaeus Lancton, MIC, as they talk about “Keeping it Marian,” showing how we can best imitate Our Lady and her virtues amid the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, meditating on the Word of God and pondering it in our hearts.

Produced from the grounds of the National Shrine of The Divine Mercy, Sparks of Mercy is a conversation about books, words, and God's Word given to us through the Bible, Catholic Tradition, and the created order.

Each week, Very Rev. Chris Alar, MIC, director of the Association of Marian Helpers, examines in-depth an essential element of faith and morals that Catholics are called to proclaim, live, and celebrate.

The Lord’s “Secretary of Divine Mercy,” St. Faustina, wrote what has become a modern-day spiritual classic — a blueprint for living a sacramental life in union with Jesus Christ. For anyone who may think the Diary is too thick and formidable, Most Rev. Joe Roesch, MIC, has the solution. Join him for a few minutes each day as he reads from the Diary and offers commentary.

Can authentic Catholics be “feminists”? Pope St. John Paul repeatedly called for a new, truly Catholic feminism that would challenge the way the secular world approaches the rights and dignity of women in our time. This "Authentic Catholic Feminism" is rooted in Scripture, Catholic Tradition, and the lives of the Saints. Like the most popular forms of secular feminism, Authentic Catholic Feminism, upholds the equal value of women, but it proclaims that women also have distinctive gifts that ...

Join Most Rev. Joe Roesch, MI, as he reads from the journal of Blessed George Matulaitis-Matulewicz (1871-1927), the “Renovator” of the Congregation of Marian Fathers. As both a bishop and archbishop, Blessed George was recognized for his work as an apostle of unity during tumultuous times in his native Lithuania. Throughout his life, he launched important initiatives that mobilized the laity for the greater good of the Church. And without Blessed George, there would be no Marian Congregatio ...

Join Fr. Joe Roesch, MIC, as he reads "The Mystical Temple of God" by St. Stanislaus of Jesus and Mary Papczyński (1631-1701), priest and founder of the Congregation of Marian Fathers of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Saint Stanislaus left no doubt as to what purpose and to whom this work, which he had written and published in Krakow, Poland, in 1675, was to serve. The information provided on the title page makes it clear: “This work is beneficial for people of all wal ...

Jesus said, "Whoever wishes to come after Me, must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Me" (Matthew 16:24). This is what Christians have been trying to do for centuries: to become like Christ. The old expression was "imitating Christ"; now we say, "following Christ," walking in His footsteps, to become like Him. Join Fr. Joe Roesch, MIC, as he reads the spiritual classic, "The Imitation of Christ," from beginning to end. It was written in the 1400s, yet sounds like it was written yes ...

Join Fr. Thaddaeus Lancton, MIC, as he walks us through ninety different groups of Holy Souls in Purgatory in need of our intercessory prayers and sacrifices. Since their founding by St. Stanislaus Papczynski in 1670, the Marian Fathers have had a charism of praying and offering suffrages for the faithful departed. By dividing the souls into ninety groups, based on their distinct sins or vices, we methodically intercede and so help set the captives free from Purgatory. If you are interested ...

Join the Most Rev. Joe Roesch, MIC, superior general of the Marian Fathers of the Immaculate Conception, for his new podcast, “Venerable Casimir and Our Lady.” A Venerable Servant of God, Fr.

A holy and creative priest who attracted many vocations, Ven. Casimir translated a practical guide to the Rule of the Ten Evangelical ...
