Forming one’s conscience is critically important and a vital part of our Catholic faith. You have the obligation to inform your conscience but, as St. Thomas Aquinas said, you are also obligated to follow your conscience even when it is in error. Father Thaddaeus Lancton, MIC, explains the hows and whys and notes the importance of education and good judgment. Then, in honor of the feast day of St. Padre Pio on Sept. 23, hear from Vera Marie Calandra, director of the National Center for Padre Pio in Barto, Pennsylvania, who experienced healing as a baby from Padre Pio himself.

Chris Alar, MIC, and the Marian Fathers and Brothers from the National Shrine of The Divine Mercy on our weekly show, "Living Divine Mercy," airing on EWTN every Wednesday at 6:30 pm ET, with an encore presentation on Mondays at 9:00 am ET.  Through teaching segments, Bible and St. Faustina Diary excerpts, as well as real-life examples of people who are living Divine Mercy in their lives, you will learn why Jesus said Divine Mercy is mankind's last hope of salvation!
