Right Now with Ralph Martin

Ralph's new book, The Coming Judgment: Are We Ready? Is climbing the Catholic Best Seller Lists on Amazon. Hear from Ralph what the book is about and why he wrote it.

Ralph expresses his great dismay and concern regarding the omission of portions of the daily Mass readings. He believes these sections, although occasionally seen as potentially upsetting, are vital for the salvation of souls.

In the Gospels, Jesus refers to the unforgivable sin of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. Ralph brings important clarity to the reality of such a sin and how to avoid it.

Ralph discusses the recurring themes we see in a number of psalms that graphically depict utter desolation and darkness. He then illumines these passages by looking at Jesus’ descent into pain, abandonment and darkness, in order to redeem us, recalling what firm hope that gives us as a great source of strength in the midst of our own very dark nights.

Every now and then a prophecy is shared that deserves wider attention. Patti Mansfield, long-time friend of Renewal Ministries and leader in the Charismatic Renewal, recently received such a word. This week, Ralph is taking the opportunity to share it with you and offer some comments on this word from the Lord, along with an overview of what the New Testament tells us about the gift of prophecy.

Ralph clearly unpacks the fundamental message of scripture concerning the two ways. Everyone is currently on one way or another and Ralph invites us to make a change if we're on the wrong path.

We recently celebrated the feast of Corpus Christi, celebrating the profound gift of Jesus in the Eucharist. As we continue to reflect on this extraordinary grace, Ralph shares how a “chance encounter” on an airplane led to a very significant conversation centered around a prayer from the liturgy of the Eucharist.

Ralph reflects on his long relationship with Cardinal Schönborn, including some concerns he has had in recent years and a very fascinating article the Cardinal wrote featuring his pondering of the final judgment.

Today we celebrate the Annunciation, the unfathomable grace of Jesus coming in the flesh. And yet when we look at the scriptures, we see something strange happened when people encountered Jesus during his earthly ministry. The One who came to heal us, love us, and give us eternal life is hated and rejected. In this video, Ralph explores what the scriptures tell us about why this is the case. May it not be so with us!

This week, Ralph looks at the "big picture" of the pro-life movement and the central decision at the root of choosing life, choosing for ETERNAL life.

John 3:16 is a very well-known verse that offers a short summary of the Gospel. This week, Ralph comments on this famous verse and the verses surrounding it to expand our understanding of its meaning beyond just what is popularly considered, and of course, it is all about salvation!

In this short video Ralph shares how impacted he was by the simple but encouraging word conveyed by a Christian hymn. He thinks you will be encouraged too!
