What did Generation X-ers (like CAle) do in the pre-smartphone age? Have we got a story for you.  Plus: The short, funny passionate, and powerful life of St. Aloysius Gonzaga, and how he speaks to our generation.

Have you been told to be "true to yourself" in a graduation commencement speech? Is that true? Should you really be who you are? Or is there something more that you have been created for?

Exclusive: L.A. Archbishop Jose Gomez’ homily and Litany to the Sacred Heart of Jesus in reparation for the Dodgers’ sacrilege; Cale’s conversation with Cardinal Thomas Collins on this Feast, and more!

Why has St. Anthony been credited as the saint that helps you find lost items? What else can he help you find other than just "stuff?" What was his name before he took the name "St. Anthony?" How did he get involved as a Franciscan? Cale answers these questions and has Producer Jim share a miracle story involving St. Anthony.   

The essence of many grad speeches is: “Be true to yourself.” Why that’s either really good — or really bad — advice. Plus: the crazy (and crazy successful) attempt to make universities more like monasteries!

Raiders of the Lost Ark was released 42 years ago (!!) today. How Harrison Ford played the long game, and how you can do the same in the spiritual life. God has a theo-drama and wants you to play a major part.
