Drew Mariani (0:18)

Well, good afternoon and welcome. It's good to be here with you today. Let's pray, pray, pray. We'll pray for one another, and I always love hearing from you. If God's working in your life and you've got answered prayers, I'd love to hear that too. Feel free to share those answered prayers. By the way, you can email me, and please do this. You know, I know we pray every day. We not only pray during the chaplet here, but I pray for you every afternoon during Mass. I pray for you when I spend time with the Lord personally, when I pray my rosary. So you're always in my prayers. And I love when somebody writes back, says, Drew, you're not going to believe this. You know, I called in and got this answered prayer. We hear a lot of them. But make sure you're right. Not everybody calls in to tell me that.

The email to do that is drew at relevantradio.com, d-r-e-w at relevantradio.com, mark it answered prayer. Some people call praise reports and just send it in.

You know, I'll never disclose your name. I keep everything private, but it does really inspire me. We have a book of answered prayers here of people who have written in just miracle after miracle, some profound, some mind-boggling, and others very ordinary and small, but God hears every prayer from the large to the small. And I know we're going to pray together for you right now. Maybe you're seeking that miracle in your life.

If you don't get through on the phone lines, and I'm looking at my call screen right now, it is pretty full, seeing every line filled. So Nick is on our social media, and a great way to get your intention heard and planted within our spiritual family here for some of that additional prayer, because I know quite often we hear these intentions and carry them with us. Nick's on social media. Send him a post on our X platform, and the best way to follow us is at Drew Mariani Show. At Drew Mariani Show. That's the show handle. You can follow me on my personal Twitter, at Drew Mariani, and we are streaming on Facebook, Relevant Radio Plus, and of course you can pray with us on the app as well. Lots of ways to connect, right? Lots of ways to connect. Brooke, great to have you with us today. Good afternoon.

Brooke (2:17)

Hi, Drew.

Drew Mariani (2:18)

Good to be with you.

Brooke (2:19)

Good afternoon.

Drew Mariani (2:19)

I just got a text or an email. I donate to Relevant as I know your family does too, so you get these emails as well. And I just saw a notification that people can tune in to the beatification that you and I covered. And I would encourage people to do that. I thought the coverage was a lot of fun. It was really well done. And if you've not witnessed the beatification and you want to just spend some time, maybe listen to it in your car. Somebody said to me that they were driving, I think from Chicago to Green Bay, and they were listening to it the whole way up. So you can stream it and listen and even watch if you want. But it was fun to do that with you.

Brooke (2:55)

It was. You know what? Because of that, it's fresh in my mind, too, that Fulton Sheen was born on May 8th. And in fact, don't you have a daughter that was born on May 8th?

Drew Mariani (3:04)

My mother was born May 8th.

Brooke (3:05)

Your mother. And so today I saw that three years ago, Pope Leo was made a cardinal by Pope Francis, and he became pope on May 8th. And I did not put it together until I just saw that today, that Pope Leo was elected, the first American pope, of course, American-born pope born in Illinois, just like Fulton Sheen, and elected on the day of Fulton Sheen's birthday. So pretty amazing. And I want to pray for Pope Leo today, too, on this anniversary day of his becoming a cardinal. All right.

Drew Mariani (3:36)

We'll lift him up. And anything you want personally? They're all well in the family.

Brooke (3:41)

Yes, please. I saw a lot of intentions coming in on the YouTube live stream for World Peace, for World Leaders, that story today from the flight Dubai to Israel flight, that incident so scary. So just want to pray again for our country and for the world. And there was also a story as I'm covering the news today, really devastating actor Chad Lowe.
