Guadalupe Radio interview from Monday, November 23
Laura DeMaria
Today is the first day of Advent. O come, o come, Emmanuel!
On Monday this week, I had a grand ol’ time speaking with Mike and Joe on Washington, DC’s Guadalupe Radio/WMET show, “Catholicism on the Beltway.” I talked about my faith journey back to the church, thoughts on keeping Advent, and more.

Select November 23 in the player, and my part begins at 30:12.
This was recorded in person, which added to the fun. Guadalupe is also housed within the EWTN studios, so I also got to check out Raymond Arroyo’s set and even met Ed Condon, co-host of one of my favorite podcasts, CNA Editor’s Desk, who happened to be at work that day. So, a super fun day, and I hope to be back soon.
Speaking of Guadalupe - I would like to remind you that the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe is on Saturday, December 12. That means her novena starts on December 4, which is this Friday. Just letting you know! You can find various version of her novena online.
Today started the Immaculate Conception novena, by the way. Whatever your intentions, I feel any prayer directed toward Mary always does well to include a prayer for peace in our world, and especially our country.
Lastly, I have another 20-minute spot on Morning Air at 7 am eastern tomorrow (Monday) morning. Theme: saints who waited, building on the Advent discussion from a few weeks ago. It seem waiting (as we do at Advent) is part of the Christian life, and there are many saints who modeled waiting well. You can tune in and listen online using the player here.
Be well and may your Advent season be full of light!
