Steve – How I came back to the Catholic Faith. I fell away but came back after searching a lot of other different religions. Aida - I left the church 10 years ago for a non-denominational Church. I realized something was missing. I then heard Relevant Radio! Jason - 7 years ago I had an interior miracle when I entered the Church. A Our Lady of Fatima statue was on tour and I was able to help usher her into our Church. During the Mass, I saw the room fill with smoke, but no one else saw it. Now I will notice the room fill with smoke and the priest will glow. Richard - I came back into the Catholic Church through my wife who told me I needed to be a Catholic to marry her.

Special Guest Host Ken Hensley – Drew Mariani and Father Rocky share the breaking news from Bishop David Ricken of the Diocese of Green Bay from The Shrine of Our Lady of Champion  Tom - During adoration while I was discerning holy orders, I noticed the sun light went through a stainless window of the sacred heart and reflected on the Eucharist. Jesus used natural means to show me His real presence. Tracy - I never really understood the real presence of Jesus until I had an experience with the monstrance, where I touched it and felt a panic and heard a strange sound, but then I thought, this is Jesus, do not be afraid. Fern - Doubting Thomas is a good example of Jesus doing Miracles. I think it was that Jesus heard Thomas ask to see the mark which made Thomas believe because only God can hear everything.
