In this second episode with Kimberlee (see her on Mornings with Radio Maria for episode 1), we hear how the prompting of the Holy Spirit inspired her to organise a young adult event in St. Finbar’s Parish, Trinidad. What began as a simple act of obedience sparked a powerful revival among young people. Kimberlee also shares how the Holy Spirit continues to guide her in her vocation in the medical field, especially with her patient interactions. Together with Fr.

Artistic Director Stella Powell-Jones brings Little Brother: A Refugee’s Odyssey to life on Today’s Culture Tuesday.Adapted by celebrated playwright Timberlake Wertenbaker, Little Brother is a powerful retelling of the true story of Ibrahima Balde from Guinea, who risks everything to find his runaway younger brother on the dangerous migrant routes toward Europe. Based on the award-winning memoir by Ibrahima Balde and Amets Arzallus Antia, the play explores the harrowing realities faced by refugees — a crisis that Pope Francis has repeatedly highlighted as a human, not political, tragedy. Through Ibrahima’s journey and his heartfelt closing poem, audiences are invited to witness the plight of migrants with compassion and urgency, bearing witness to both the suffering and the hope found along the way.
