Catholic author Gary Zimak joins us today as he annually does the week before Lent to talk about his best-selling book, “Give Up Worry for Lent: 40 Days to Finding Peace in Christ.” He talks about the origins of the book in that he was, and is to some extent, an inveterate worrier. In his book, he provides simple action steps to help you kick the worry habit as part of your Lenten renewal.
Afterwards, Gus does his final Reading or Rosary exercise with listeners. That’s where he invites listeners to pledge to either praying a Rosary daily or do some spiritual reading during Lent and provides the tools. For those who choose a Rosary and get on the air with him, he sends them a Holy Land Rosary. For those who choose reading, he offers either a copy of Gary Zimak’s “Give Up Worry for Lent” book or a copy of his own, “A Minute in the Church: Back to the Basics.”
Hello Gus,
I treated myself to a SiriusXM subscription for my birthday on February 16th. On Tuesday I was listening to a 60’s music channel when one of the DJ’s (surprisingly) mentioned that he was going to be doing an interview on the Catholic Channel, 129. I hadn’t realized that the Catholic Channel was part of my subscription, so I briefly checked it out. At the same time I was also contemplating on how I could take my observation of this year’s Lent to a deeper level. On Wednesday morning as I started to leave my car to attend Mass, I tuned my radio to channel 129 with the intention of turning on my radio after Mass just to see what I would encounter. When I got back in my car, I turned on the radio and your show was playing. It was my very first time listening to your show, and I was more than delighted to hear you talk about the Reading or Rosary pledge for Lent. When I arrived home, I tried to call in to your show but, not unexpectedly, I was not able to get through. Nonetheless, I am preparing to pray the Rosary each day of Lent. I am a convert to the Catholic faith, and it’s taken some time and effort for me to overcome my initial reluctance to praying the Rosary.
The time now seems right to go forward.
So, thank you for your encouragement and inspiration!
Robert
