Well, good afternoon and welcome, it's good to be with you today. I'm grateful for our opportunity to pray together. I see our lines are already full, so I'll go to the phones in just a quick second. We'll be praying again today with Nick Centovich, who is on our board. He'll take your intentions too.

If you want to get him in, he's on our ex-account. I'll send him a post at Drew Mariani Show, at Drew Mariani Show. You can follow me at Drew Mariani as well. And of course, Brooke Taylor joins me this afternoon too, and it's always good to pray with her. Brooke, good afternoon. Thanks for taking time to join us.

Brooke Taylor (0:43)

Good to pray with you too. Hi, Drew, happy to be here.

Drew Mariani (0:45)

Thank you. Anything you want to pray for or share?

Brooke Taylor (0:47)

You know what, I do. On Wednesday, we received a call from Sylvia, and she called the chaplet. She had a tumor removed from her sinuses, and she's been waiting. I think the test initially came back as inconclusive, so waiting to find out if it's cancerous. So I just want to keep praying for her and for all those who are feeling fear or anxiety because of a diagnosis or test results, their health.

And I want to pray for students who are taking midterms at college, for those who have depression, and for the souls in purgatory.

Drew Mariani (1:19)

Beautiful prayers. I want to share a quick answer prayer that came in. I tend to prefer emails, but this person took the time to write. And I want to thank Michael for this. And it just says, hey, we were pilgrims on the purple bus. Every bus that we travel with, they kind of get a color, so you know what bus you're on.

On your recent pilgrimage to Fatima Lourdes and to Marion Sides, first we want to thank you for hosting such a beautiful trip. And second, with a praise and thanksgiving to our Lord, we want you to know that Ruth, who was the recipient of a miracle in answer to prayers on this pilgrimage, Ruth had been suffering from chronic migraines over 50 years.

She had exhausted all medical means to relieve the condition, and she had long ago committed to offering up her constant pain just in reparations. However, after our first day at Fatima, she hasn't experienced a single migraine. She has gone now weeks free, and it has been years since the last time that she was headache free for that long of a stretch. We are making a pilgrimage of thanksgiving to Our Lady of Champion. This year is an answer to our prayers. May God bless you and all of Relevant Radio. And I love it. I mean, the impossible happens. So often you're stuck with chronic, and debilitating disease. We had a caller yesterday on the air, a woman who's been in chronic pain. Doctors don't know how to treat it. There's no cure.

There's always the divine physician. And we're faithful, and I love how meritorious this couple, this person was by offering it to the Lord. Lord, let her carry the cross for a while, and then lifted it. Mother Teresa of Calcutta, of course, had this 40-year stretch of the dark night of the soul where she didn't feel the Lord, experience the Lord in that deep intimacy that so many others did. But in the end, the Lord lifted that from her and filled her heart. So whether you're going through spiritual dryness, whether you're suffering from chronic pain, whether you're praying for that marriage right now, maybe it's some other animal you're dealing with, you seem to always struggle financially, or there's a health problem, persist, all right, keep praying, keep walking. Thank the Lord for the cross that you have. Make it meritorious. And I guarantee you the Lord will use it in a really, really powerful way. So let's pray for you today and whatever your intentions are. Nick, it's good to have you with us too. Anything you want to lift up before we start?

Nick Centovich (3:38)

Drew, we were just talking about, with Dr. Trisankos about IVF and those who are struggling to conceive. So all those who want a child or want a baby but are struggling right now.

Drew Mariani (3:48)

That's a great intention. We'll lift them up and just as we may all be moral with the gift of our reproduction.

And we'll pray for you now. If you're on hold, I'll try to get a few extra calls in if I can today. And if you don't get through, as I said, Nick is on social media, at Drew Mariani Show. And of course, you can stream us on Facebook, YouTube, and relevant radio plus. We begin in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
