The Catholic Morning Show - 02/13/2026

Today on The Catholic Morning Show, we bring you powerful insight, encouragement, and inspiration to live your faith boldly in everyday life. Fr. Ben Valentine offers a compelling reflection on the Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time, unpacking the upcoming Gospel with clarity and pastoral depth. He challenges us to examine where we place our trust and how authentic discipleship transforms the way we live. Deacon Matt Halbach shares how faith is thriving on campus at Mercy College of Health Sciences, where he serves as VP of Mission & Campus Culture. He discusses his role in shaping Catholic identity, fostering spiritual growth, and walking with students who are seeking a deeper relationship with Christ. John Wood, author of the 7 Deadly Dragons book series, reveals the heart behind his storytelling. He explains how his books help children confront spiritual battles through courage, virtue, and imagination — equipping young readers to recognize truth and grow in character. This episode is packed with Scripture reflection, Catholic education, and faith-filled creativity for families.
