In this inspiring episode of "RED-C Roundup," host Darren Sinkule shares his miraculous story of survival and faith. Eleven years ago, on May 13th, Darren nearly died but experienced a profound miracle through the intercession of the Blessed Mother, receiving a new heart after praying the Rosary. This powerful testimony sets the stage for a deep dive into Marian devotions and the significance of the month of May in the Catholic Church.

Darren is joined by Sister Jeanne Thomas and Sister Mary Guadalupe of the contemplative Sisters of Mary Morning Star. Together, they explore the rich traditions of Marian feasts, focusing on Our Lady of Fatima and the Feast of the Visitation. The sisters discuss the importance of the Rosary, the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and the transformative power of total surrender to God's will.

The episode features a reading from the Gospel of Luke about the Visitation, where Mary visits her cousin Elizabeth. Deacon Robin reads the passage, and the sisters provide profound reflections on Mary's humility, her immediate response to God's call, and her role as a model of faith and devotion. They highlight how the contemplative life, rooted in prayer and adoration, is accessible to all Catholics, not just those in religious orders.

Listeners will gain insights into the daily life of the Sisters of Mary Morning Star, their commitment to prayer, study, and manual work, and their ongoing project to build a new chapel, workshops, and a guest house to better serve their mission. https://www.marymorningstartexas.org/

Join us for an episode filled with faith, hope, and inspiration as we delve into the heart of Catholic devotion and the example set by the Blessed Mother.
