Most High, glorious God,
Enlighten the darkness of my heart, And give me right faith,

Lord, that I may carry out
Your holy and true command. Amen.

Prayer for the Intercession of St. Carlo Acutis

St. Carlo Acutis, You knew the power of technology and used it to proclaim the truth of Jesus Christ. 

You also knew the dangers of technology and were intentional in your efforts to guard your heart against them. 

You used the gifts you had in this world to bless others through radical charity, through seeing Christ in the face of those ignored by society, through the witness of friendship, and through your natural aptitudes with technology. 

In our world so broken by abuses of technology and which so often ignores or attacks human dignity, please intercede for us to God the Father so we may see the human dignity of everyone we encounter and ask for guidance from the Lord whenever we may be tempted to violate that dignity in our online interactions. 

St. Carlo Acutis, pray that we may treat our ever-evolving connections with developing technology as an opportunity to see the grace of God at work, even in the complexities of our modern world. Amen.

Son Rise Morning Show 2026.10.12

Why does Jesus' parable of the wedding feast in Matthew 22 take a dramatic turn after the unwashed masses are welcomed into the hall? On The Son Rise Morning Show, host Matt Swaim welcomes back Fr. Jonathan Duncan from the Diocese of Charleston and the Bone Church Revival podcast to break down the Gospel reading for the 28th Sunday in Ordinary Time.

Fr. Duncan warns against taking the "lectionary option" that cuts off the parable's ending, explaining the vital theological lesson of the guest without a wedding garment. Drawing on ancient custom where hosts provided proper attire, Fr. Duncan connects the garment to the baptismal robe of grace and putting on Christ. He highlights that while God's merciful invitation is extended to everyone, entering the kingdom requires transformation, holiness, and leaving our old sins behind. Stream now to listen!
