Guest: Fr. Jim Kubicki, National Director of the Apostleship of Prayer
Buffalo Road Round Up: Miranda Taiber
Featured Saint of the Day: Feast of the Guardian Angels

Today Deacon Rick and Jenny launched what will become monthly interviews with Fr. Jim Kubicki, the National Director of the Apostleship of Prayer. Fr. Jim Kubicki will help our listeners join themselves to the monthly intentions of Pope Benedict the XVI. This month the intentions are:

General:

That the Synod of Bishops may help bishops and theologians as well as catechists and pastoral workers engaged in the service of the Word of God transmit with courage the truth of the faith in communion with the entire Church.

Mission:

That in this month dedicated to the missions, through the promotional activities of the Pontifical Missionary Works and other organisms, the Christian may feel the need to participate in the Church’s universal mission with prayer, sacrifice and concrete help.

Fr. Jim also spoke about the power of the Word of God. He gave the statistic that the average Christian spends more time in one evening watching television than they do the rest of the week reading the Bible. Fr. Jim encouraged listeners to begin their day by saying the Morning Offering and to end their day by looking back upon the day and asking themselves, "What did I offer God today?"

Tune into KWKY to hear Fr. Jim Kubicki at the beginning of every month as well as for his daily reflections on the saints.
