Welcome to the website for the voice of Catholicism on the airwaves in southeastern North Carolina. You're at the right place if you want to learn about or listen to truly Catholic shows like Catholic Answers Live, the Drew Mariani Show, and many, many more including our own Carolina Catholic show.
Carolina Catholic speaks with Catholic oncologist and author, Dr. Robert Collins
For our first show in June, I chat with Dr. Robert Collins, an oncologist, who recounts his journey to the Catholic faith in his book, You Visited Me: Grace and Healing in the Modern Medical Center. Beginning his medical career as a self-centered, agnostic physician treating those with blood cancers like leukemia, he reveals how his faith unfolded as he increasingly saw God's movement in the lives of his patients and ultimately in his own life; eventually, he came to a deep understanding of medicine as a call to participate in the love of God. His book shares many of his experiences of God's grace and healing in a modern medical center.
This show will air on Wilmington Catholic Radio's station, 93.1 FM, on Saturdays at 11 am and Sundays at 6 pm on the first two weekends of June. You can listen on-line live by clicking on the Listen Now tab. Or, listen 24/7 by going to the Carolina Catholic tab and clicking on the show page.
May's Teaching Moment
Our Church honors the Blessed Mother during the month of May in many special ways. One way to honor Mary during May is to learn something new about her. For example, we can learn about the Holy House of Loreto, Italy where it is said that the Blessed Mother was born there, lived there, and it’s where the Annunciation took place. Devout tradition holds that the Holy House was miraculously carried by angels from Nazareth to Loreto in 1294. Or maybe it was brought to Italy after the Crusades. The three walls of the Holy House fit perfectly with the perimeter of the Grotto in Nazareth. Its stones are typical of the Palestinian buildings at the time of Christ. A fourth wall was added in 1922 where we can see the sacred image of the Virgin of Loreto. A site of miracles and conversion, this is where Mary gave her fiat to God. In the words of Pope Benedict XVI, “Loreto, after Nazareth, is the ideal place to pray while meditating on the mystery of the Incarnation of the Son of God.” Our Lady of Loreto, pray for us.
