It's the Feast of the Guardian Angels and Gus keeps up a Seize the Day tradition. He invites listeners to call in and share any guardian angel stories they have. Throughout the centuries, many saints have urged the faithful to pray for the intercession of our guardian angels and we hear from many listeners who believe they were saved from harmful or bad situations thanks to their guardian angels. He also reads the Catholic Church’s teaching on angels from Catechism of the Catholic Church and reflects on it.
Also, Dr. Matthew Bunson of EWTN News calls in to talk about some news of Catholic interest, including last night’s Vice-Presidential debate between candidates Sen. J.D. Vance and Gov. Tim Walz. The subject of abortion came up and Gus and Dr. Bunson discuss the back and forth, including J.D. Vance challenging Gov. Tim Walz’s state abortion laws, which allows for abortion after birth. Also, the latest installment of the Synod on Synodality opens today and they discuss Pope Francis’ vision for that. They also talk about the escalation in the war between Israel and Hamas and Hezbollah. Yesterday, Iran launched approximately 200 missiles into Israel in what had been deemed an unsuccessful attack. Lastly, in China, churches are being forced to remove crosses and hang up portraits of President Xi Jinping in their place, so Gus and Dr. Bunson chat about the ongoing communist interference in day-to-day faith life and China’s relationship with the Vatican.
