Today, we’re diving into Psalm 55—an incredibly raw and honest prayer that speaks to the pain of betrayal, fear, and heartbreak. Father Rico unpacks how this Psalm hits home for anyone who's ever been hurt by someone they trusted, especially by a close friend. But amidst the sorrow, the Psalm reminds us that we can bring every hurt to God, who listens, heals, and never turns His back on us. Join us as we reflect on what it means to trust in God, even when others let us down.

Happy feast day, friends! Today on God’s Playbook, we’re celebrating the Nativity of St. John the Baptist — one of only three birthdays the Church marks in the liturgical year! We’ll reflect on why this day is so meaningful, especially for our French-Canadian listeners who know it as la fête de Saint-Jean-Baptiste. From the miracle of his birth to his powerful mission of preparing the way for Jesus, John teaches us the beauty of humility, faithfulness, and pointing others to Christ. Join Fr. Rico as we explore how John’s life reminds us that God's plan always includes us — and always calls us to holiness.
