Today we answer the question, why do we dip our hands in Holy Water. Every time we dip our hands in holy water at church, we are reminded of our baptism—the moment we were cleansed of original sin and welcomed into a new life in Christ. This sacred tradition isn’t just a routine gesture; it’s a renewal of our baptismal promises and a call to holiness. Holy water is also a powerful sign of God’s protection, shielding us from evil—much like kryptonite weakens Superman, holy water weakens the devil. By making the sign of the cross with holy water, we recommit ourselves to living as God’s children, seeking His grace and strength in our daily lives. Join Fr. Rico as we unpack the deep meaning behind this simple yet profound act of faith.

Today’s episode dives into Psalm 67, an uplifting and positive psalm that inspires gratitude and hope. Part of the Prayer of the Breastplate of St. Patrick draws from this psalm’s beautiful words: “May God be gracious to us and bless us; may He shine His face upon us.” It’s a reminder of God’s blessings in our lives and a call to seek His continued grace. We also reflect on the unity of humanity as one family of God, seen every time we gather in church. Join Fr. Rico as we explore this powerful psalm and its message of divine blessing and togetherness.

Rico as he unpacks this powerful psalm, helping us reflect on the beauty of being in God’s presence and the praise it inspires.

In today’s episode, we delve into the significance of statues in the Church, focusing on two iconic pieces: the crucifix, the most recognized statue in the world, and the Pieta, a masterpiece of devotion and sorrow. Statues are not objects of idol worship but serve as visual tools to inspire prayer and reflection on the lives of Jesus, Mary, and the saints. Why are these sacred images present in our churches, and why are they important to our faith? Join Fr. Rico as we explore their purpose and meaning in today’s episode.
