Relevant Radio provides a community of worldwide believers to learn, grow, and be inspired in their faith.
Do you know what the first Christmas ... First, I listen because every time I turn on the radio, I am uplifted and inspired. It starts with a personal relationship with Christ. Sackcloth and ashes in a remote monastery with perpetual prayer and penance would seem to be more appropriate! Two of the major components of our beautiful Sacrament of Reconciliation are penance AND reparation.
But Father Rocky wouldn’t be Father Rocky had he not received many, many years of preparation and formation as simply a man with a life steeped in prayer and the sacraments.
And this daily sacramental life eventually led Father Rocky to ordination into the priesthood by St. John Paul II himself in 1992 and subsequently to continue advanced formation at our partner institution in Rome, the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross, where he completed a doctorate in Canon Law.
This formation, one not only rigorously academic but steeped in daily prayer and the sacraments, is the soil that Fr.
Rocky or any leader needs to remain deeply rooted regardless of where God calls them.
This likely also has something to do with how he ongoingly handles sizeable organizational challenges with the simple motto, “If it were easy, it wouldn’t be evangelization,” and it might also have something to do why he is often found quoting another great modern-day Saint, Josemaria Escrivá.

Fr.
I see nothing that gives evidence to this in the life of Cardinal Law, nor does he have to return to the scene of his crime and see everyday the people who he has wounded and whose lives he has destroyed. Then sacrifice. Furthermore, spring is the most rapid growth period for most trees’ rooting systems, when the soil is no longer frozen and the leaves are not yet budding, allowing the lion’s share of the tree’s energy to be directed towards deepening and widening said root system.
This is interesting because it mirrors how God works in people.

Hi, this is Fr. Rocky with another Advent Inspiration.
He is known for many great reasons but probably most notably for his role as CEO and Executive Director of Relevant Radio, the now massive, evangelistic Catholic radio ministry.
Such a simple mission conceptually: to reach out and evangelize people that are stuck every single day in their cars in traffic. Well, that very same day, she found Relevant Radio®!
After people find Relevant Radio, they stick around for lots of reasons.
Obviously, to faithfully serve as the CEO, his daily life in many respects mirrors that of any successful business executive with frequent travel across the country, public speaking, fundraising, and relationship building, all to serve this highly effective apostolate, “to bring Christ to the world through the media.”
But Father Rocky didn’t just wake up one day and answer God’s call to be an effective leader.
I don’t know about you, but I love good news! César knows without a doubt that God is good, he loves us, and wants what’s best for us. Hi, this is Fr. Rocky with another Advent Inspiration.
