Inner Life on Relevant Radio: Some of you have asked if I would provide the dates and times when I’m on the radio. Once a month I work with Chuck Neff on a wonderful program called “The Inner Life.” It’s a call-in show that offers spiritual direction and is a beautiful experience of the Holy Spirit. The show is every day from 11:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. and it replays each evening from 9:00-10:00 p.m. I’ll be on the show (barring a funeral, in which case another priest takes my place) on September 7th, October 5th, November 21st, December 14th , and January 19th . Relevant Radio is at 93.9 FM or you can download their app. Please pray for the remarkable work being done by Relevant Radio! Father Samuel Martin
