Episode 332: Bl. Stanley Rother, Satanists on the Highway, A Mormon in Nauvoo, & a Slovakian Marian Apparition
Hey Everybody! It's Fr. Edward
In this episode of Hey Everybody, It’s Fr. Edward, I take you along on my recent pilgrimage to the Blessed Stanley Rother Shrine in Oklahoma City. I share how I first came to know his story, my regret in missing his martyrdom site while studying in Guatemala, and what this modern-day priest-martyr teaches us. Along the way, I recount an unsettling moment when I followed a car boldly advertising satanism—and reflect on the emptiness such a path offers. I also tell of a fascinating encounter with a Mormon missionary at the grave of Joseph Smith in Nauvoo, Illinois, and offer a quick look at the little-known Marian apparition of Mount Zvir in Slovakia. Finally, I wrap things up with a fun reflection on how the story of Superman mirrors the mission of Christ. You won’t want to miss this spiritual road trip of reflections, encounters, and unexpected grace.
