Infertility is often borne in silence, but this heartfelt book offers hope, clarity, and companionship for those carrying that cross. Blending personal experience with practical advice and Church teaching, it explores the emotional and spiritual challenges of infertility, adoption, and the moral complexities of reproductive technologies. Through candid storytelling and lessons learned, it provides comfort and guidance not only for couples struggling to conceive but also for those who accompany them—priests, doctors, counselors, and loved ones.

Day 63: Israel's Rebellion (2026)

As Catholics, we&#39;re used to praying prayers that we find on holy cards. It&#39;s a beautiful tradition, but sometimes it can feel like the prayer we are praying is hard to fully make our own. In this episode, Jeff reminds us that we don&#39;t have to be saints to write our own carefully crafted prayers—prayers that help us enter more fully into the different seasons of our life. After listening, you might just want to write your own holy card.<a rel="payment" href="https://ascensionpress.com/products/support-ascension">Support The Jeff Cavins Show (Your Catholic Bible Study Podcast)</a>

Spiritual Weapons against Demonic Enemies

Dr. Taylor Marshall examines how clandestine societies, including Modernists and Marxists, have infiltrated the Catholic Church since the mid-19th century. He argues that these groups aimed to subvert the Church's doctrine, liturgy, and mission by strategically placing their members within seminaries, the priesthood, and the episcopacy, ultimately seeking to influence the election of popes. Marshall contends that many contemporary Church scandals result from this orchestrated plot, rather than cultural changes or the outcomes of the Second Vatican Council. He discusses topics such as the role of Freemasonry, the warnings of Our Lady of La Salette, and the implications of the Third Secret of Fatima, providing a perspective on the challenges facing the Church today.

Infiltration

Episode 69 - A Father And Son Moment There's an intense vulnerability to letting people into your most tender moments. Allowing someone to witness a private, cherished part of life is no small thing, and being a witness to one of these moments is an honor. There's a particular part of Jesus's life for which we get to be these witnesses only a few times: his experience of prayer. In these rare instances, we are privileged to see him as he sees the Father look upon him with love and delight. Teach us to pray. When the disciples saw Jesus pray, that's what they asked him. They were totally captivated by the sight of him rejoicing in the presence of the Father. Scripture invites us to be witnesses to this only a few times, but Jesus constantly experienced the Father looking at him with love and delight. We can, too, if we look to the Father. Let the prayer of Jesus inspire you; let him teach you to pray. The Poco a Poco podcast happens because of generous donors like you.

The Mystery of a Death and the Secret of a Life

This fascinating work on the life and times of Cardinal Merry del Val from renowned historian Roberto de Mattei provides a first-ever, in-depth look at the remarkable life of a Servant of God who served four popes. Even in turbulent times, amid anticlerical violence, war, and personal attacks, Cardinal del Val remained the epitome of humility. Whether drafting papal documents, mediating tense religious and political situations, sending consequential encoded telegrams, or defending the teachings of the Church, he lived a life of asceticism and mysticism and steadfastly preserved the truth. In this sweeping life story, you will see how, through it all, Cardinal del Val remained a model of virtue, leading by example in obedience, fidelity, and devotion.
