With Ash Wednesday only two days away, Gus talks about one important component of Lenten penances...spiritual reading. Gus invites listeners to call in with their book recommendations. Below is the full list of listener recommendations.

Also, Gus talks with Maureen Ferguson, senior fellow at the Catholic Association, about the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, which will be voted on tomorrow in the Senate. She also talks about a recent study conducted by a pro-choice doctor that verifies the child in the womb's central nervous system is developed enough at 13 weeks that makes it capable of feeling pain.

And it's Monday so that means Gus engages in a little Tell Me Something Good with listeners.
