Boy, thanks for joining me. Let's pray. All right, let's pray, let's pray, let's pray. Let's unite our hearts, let's unite our prayers, let's unite our voice together. This is one of the biggest prayer communities I have ever been part of. We do it on a daily basis. Relevant Radio is the third largest radio network in the country, whether that's secular or religious.
By reach, the amount of people that we reach, I really should qualify that.
But there's a power when two or more are gathered. I just think of how many people right now are reaching out to God, or crying out with one voice. And I pray for you every day. I pray. I hear these intentions. I continue to pray for you after the chaplet, in my masses and in my time with the Lord. And I know you probably do the same thing for these intentions, that you hear the pretty heavy things. So there's a beauty in that. And it's not just the United States. We have people praying with us in Australia. We have them in South Africa and throughout Europe and in Asia, all over the planet. So it's great to pray with you. Let's tap into this power source that I like to call The Chaplet. And of course, we'll take your calls on the air. I'll try to take as many as I can. Nick's on our social media. He's my producer right here. And of course, he'll keep his eye on Facebook, YouTube.
Of course, we're broadcasting on Relevant Radio+. But the best way to get your intention to him, I think, is going through X. Just sending him a post, at Drew Mariani Show, at Drew Mariani Show. Follow me at Drew Mariani as well. It's my personal Twitter, but it's always good to stay in touch with you there. And he'll keep his eyes on that and give you voice. I get the opportunity to pray with Helen today, one of my wonderful colleagues here. Helen, great to have you back. Good afternoon.

**Helen** (1:59)
Mr. Mariani, it's so nice to hear your voice.

**SPEAKER_4** (2:02)
I love it.

**Helen** (2:03)
We've been keeping you in mind over here.

**Drew Mariani** (2:05)
Thank you very much.

**Helen** (2:06)
What a bummer about your ear leg again.

**SPEAKER_4** (2:09)
Yeah, I'll be back.

**Drew Mariani** (2:10)
I think I'm gonna be back in a day or two. I mean, I was doing great until I went away last week and something happened. I think I overdid it and it set me back.

**Helen** (2:16)
More shenanigans, huh, Drew?

**SPEAKER_4** (2:18)
Five weeks.

**SPEAKER_6** (2:20)
My wife, I think, is tired of me being incapacitated.

**Drew Mariani** (2:24)
So it's funny. But it's been a cross for me.
And I know God's gonna make it meritorious and I'm okay with it. I am okay with it.

**SPEAKER_6** (2:32)
I'm just tired of it.

**Drew Mariani** (2:33)
I would like to be back to my normal self. Summer's upon us and we're gonna enjoy the weather, right? We still can. So you take for granted everything, whether it's an injury to your ankle or it's the arm or your hand, your vision, whatever it might be, until it's impacted and you realize, oh my gosh, I didn't realize how much I depended on it.
So it's good.

**Helen** (2:52)
Or if you're sick, right? You forget what it feels like to be normal. You're like, my throat is hurting so badly.

**Drew Mariani** (2:58)
So true.

**Helen** (2:59)
Yeah.

**Drew Mariani** (3:00)
You just wanna be back to normal. Helen, anything you wanna pray for? What's going on with you?

**Helen** (3:04)
So Drew, I've got three different prayer intentions. First off, I would like to pray for the repose of the soul of Rory, our coworker who was laid to rest this morning, or coworker's brother, excuse me, our coworker's brother who was laid to rest this morning.

**Drew Mariani** (3:20)
Pray for Mike.

**Helen** (3:21)
Yeah, pray for Mike and all of his family and all those who mourn.
I would also like to pray for another colleague of mine who is under the weather, Mary Beth. And then personal intention. We've been praying for my aunt, kinda as she's gone through the mammogram process.
Last week, she was getting a biopsy. This week, last night, the biopsy results came back. All three biopsies are cancerous. So they're treatable. They're coming up with that treatment plan. I'm not too, too sure yet at what stage it's at. But my aunt so far is doing well. She's taking it all in. She's offering it up. So I'd just like to pray that that continues and that God's will be done.
