Rico invites listeners to take a heartfelt look at the sacraments of vocation — marriage, holy orders, and religious life — and the presence of the Holy Spirit in those sacred moments.

Today, the Church celebrates the Feast Day of St. Martin de Porres, a humble servant of God known for his compassion, healing, and deep love for the poor and forgotten. Born of mixed race and often ridiculed, St. Martin responded not with bitterness but with kindness, humility, and faith. His life reminds us to see every person as a child of God and to serve others with a generous heart. St. Martin de Porres... pray for us.

In today’s episode of God’s Playbook, Fr. Rico reflects on All Souls Day, a time of prayer, remembrance, and hope. While yesterday’s All Saints Day was filled with celebration, today invites us into a quieter moment of love—lifting up all our departed loved ones to God’s mercy. Fr. Rico reminds us that our prayers can help those in purgatory draw closer to heaven, where they too will one day pray for us. It’s a powerful reminder that heaven is our ultimate goal, and through faith and prayer, we remain forever united with those we love.

November 1st is all about joy and gratitude as we honour the countless men and women who lived holy lives, striving to follow God through their words and actions. These saints weren’t perfect, but their perseverance and love for God made them true champions of faith. As we begin this month of remembrance, Fr. Rico reminds us that sainthood isn’t out of reach—it’s our goal, our calling, and the ultimate victory on Team Jesus!

In today’s episode of God’s Playbook, Fr. Rico talks about the true meaning behind All Hallow’s Eve, better known today as Halloween. He explores how this once sacred night of preparation for All Saints Day and All Souls Day has taken on a more secular tone over time—but reminds listeners that there’s nothing wrong with enjoying the fun and festivities, as long as our hearts stay focused on God. So go ahead, dress up, hand out candy, and celebrate safely—just remember to keep the light of faith shining bright this Halloween!

In today’s episode of God’s Playbook, Fr. Rico dives into John 8: 1–11, the story of the woman caught in adultery. As the crowd rushes to condemn her, Jesus responds with mercy and truth—reminding us that none of us are without sin and all are called to conversion. Through this powerful passage, Fr. Rico challenges us to reflect on our own faults, extend compassion to others, and take Jesus’ words to heart: “Go, and sin no more.”

In today’s episode of God’s Playbook, Fr. Rico dives into Psalm 140, a heartfelt prayer for deliverance from evil and protection from those who wish us harm. This powerful psalm reminds us that God is our defender in times of trial—when we feel misunderstood, judged, or under attack. Whether it’s conflict at work, school, or home, we’re invited to let go, trust in God’s justice, and allow His peace to calm our hearts.

In today’s episode of God’s Playbook, Fr. Rico celebrates the Feast Day of Saints Simon and Jude—two apostles who, though lesser known in Scripture, left a lasting legacy of faith and devotion. Saint Simon reminds us of the quiet strength of steadfast discipleship, while Saint Jude, the patron saint of lost causes, offers hope to those facing difficult or uncertain times. Together, they inspire us to live boldly for Christ and trust in His plan, no matter what. Sts. Simon and Jude... Pray for Us. Also, from all of us here at God’s Playbook, we wish you, Fr. Rico, a Blessed and Happy Birthday!
