Can AI replace human evangelization?

Friends, I have a very interesting discussion coming up this Tuesday at 7:10 am eastern on Relevant Radio’s Morning Air program: can AI replace human evangelization? Whether it’s through the creation of the written or spoken work, visual or graphic arts, or even just explaining the Catechism, the time approaches when Catholics are going to wonder and test out how AI can help them spread the good news.

A few things we’ll be discussing:

• Will using AI bring out our virtues, or vices? Will it make us lazy perfectionists?

• Can the Holy Spirit work through AI-generated religious content?

• How can you tell if what you’ve created is accurate, or especially that it doesn’t accidentally contain something evil?

• Is using AI totally safe, or is it like summoning something through a Ouija board?!

• Will using AI separate us from the fruits of traditional evangelization, like relationships made with those served, and humility gained in humbling or tough situations?

• And much more!

You can find your radio station here, via the Relevant Radio app (I do recommend, because then you get access to all their shows whenever you feel like it), or listen online via the streaming service here.

Listen to me on Relevant Radio: make your home a domestic church

I enjoyed speaking with John Morales earlier this week about my family’s experience having the enthronement of the Sacred Heart performed in our home by the Legion of Mary. We also talked about the call to make one’s home the domestic church. You can listen to the conversation here, which starts at minute 9:05.

The enthronement declares Jesus king of the household, and brings a reminder of the eucharist in (even for the purposes of adoration!). Our homes should be peaceful, holy places, an antidote to the chaos out there in the secular world. And from there, peace can radiate out. We talked about all that.

I am convinced that it is our duty simply to create peace within our own sphere. To go beyond and individually try to implement world peace is just too much. You can, however, govern your own relationships, and more importantly, your own self. Deal with the problems right in front of you, rather than focus entirely what some politician in Washington is doing. For example, can you name your representative in the state house of delegates or representatives? That’s someone you’re more likely to influence.

I was recently reminded that St. Irenaeus wrote, “The glory of God is man fully alive.” Reflect on that!

Next radio talk: enthroning your house to the Sacred Heart

Friends, join me this Tuesday, July 11 at 7:10 am eastern on Relevant Radio’s Morning Air program, where I will be talking with John Morales and company about my experience of having my home enthroned with the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. That is a fancy way of saying we invited the Legion of Mary and a priest of our parish to our home to officially bless an image of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and Immaculate Heart of Mary and then place them in a prominent place, in our case, over the fireplace mantle. What is really cool is that this setup can now take the place of a holy hour in front of the Eucharist. Wouldn’t that be something! Pretty powerful stuff.

There’s plenty online about it, and Cardinal Burke wrote a book about it. Here’s an article that sums it up nicely: How Enthronement Will Change Your Family Forever

““The whole meaning of the devotion is to extend the grace of the Eucharist into the Christian home and from the Christian home to the whole world.”
