On today’s episode of God’s Playbook, Fr. Rico answers an important question many Catholics have: What exactly is an indulgence? He breaks down this often-misunderstood teaching of the Church and explains how indulgences help remove the temporal effects of sin after forgiveness has already been received. With clear examples and practical insight, Fr. Rico shows how this gift of God’s mercy invites us to grow in holiness and take sin—and repentance—more seriously.

On today’s episode of God’s Playbook, Fr. Rico reflects on the prophet Jeremiah and the experience of being opposed by the very people he tried to help. Even when others plotted against him, Jeremiah chose to remain faithful and righteous before God. Especially during Lent, this episode reminds us not to be discouraged by betrayal or hardship, but to stay rooted in God’s Word and continue walking the path of holiness.

Today we conclude our series on the Stations of the Cross with the 14th Station; Jesus is laid in the Tomb. We know how the story ends how Jesus rises up again from the dead on Easter Sunday. Some people, however, have it hard handling death. Let's explore the love, and come to have an understanding of this station as we reflect and pray.

As we reflect on the 13th Station, we witness Mary cradling the lifeless body of her son, a moment of deep sorrow yet also profound hope. The image of the Pietà reminds us of the pain of losing a loved one, but also the promise of resurrection through Christ. Just as Mary held Jesus with faith and trust in God’s plan, we too can find strength in our grief, knowing that death is not the end. Join us as we explore how this station calls us to walk with those who mourn, pray for the departed, and place our trust in the hope of eternal life.

Today, we reflect on the most powerful moment in history—Jesus’ death on the Cross. While this station fills us with sorrow, it also brings us great joy, for in His suffering, Jesus accomplishes the ultimate act of love, offering Himself for our redemption. As we gaze upon the crucifix, may we be reminded daily of His unconditional love and the gratitude we owe Him—not just on Good Friday, but every moment of our lives. Join Fr. Rico as we meditate on Christ’s sacrifice and how His words from the Cross call us to forgiveness, love, and the strength to endure our own trials with faith.
