Happy feast of the Holy Name of Mary! On today’s show, Matt Swaim and Anna Mitchell discuss the significance of this feast and its connection to Mary’s birthday, which we celebrated last week. Guests include Dr. Holly Ordway to discuss her new spiritual biography of Tolkien, Kris McGregor with more thoughts from the Office of Readings, and all the news, weather, sports and everything else you need to start your day a better way.

A Prayer to Our Lady, Health of the Sick
Our Lady, Health of the Sick,
I look to you for the comfort of a mother’s love,
I pray to you on behalf of those who are suffering
and for my own healing needs.
Mary, your love strengthens me
and brings me peace.
Our Lady, Health of the Sick,
embrace all who are emotionally and physically ill that they may return to
good health under your tender care. And please intercede for my very
special needs. (mention your needs here).
Mary, your love strengthens me and brings me peace.
Our Lady, Health of the Sick, pray for us. Amen.
