Podcasting the Kingdom is an
audio evangelization series. Its objective is to
make Christians and those interested in Christianity
aware of the mission placed before us by Jesus
Christ – to bring His voice of salvation to the
world: "I am the way, the truth and the
life" (Jn 14:6). Each program in series speaks
of Jesus Christ and the work of the Church, His
sacrament. By baptism and by conviction, we are
called to make disciples of all nations.

Why does CIS offer Catholic Information?
Since its inception in 1948, CIS has been spreading the good
news about Jesus and His Church by offering Catholic
information to anyone interested. Back then, the main goal
was to dispel the ignorance that frequently fuelled
anti-Catholic sentiment. Today, CIS continues to pursue its
mission of evangelization by making it easy to get
trustworthy information about the Catholic Church. |
 O Mary, Mother of the Unborn, protect the gift
of human life which your Devine Son has allowed to be given. Give strength
and joy to all parents as they wait the birth of the precious child they
have conceived. Give courage to those who are fearful, calm those who are
anxious, and guide us all with your motherly care, to treasure and
protect the miraculous gift of human life. We ask this through your son,
Jesus Christ or Lord. Amen.
Mary, Mother of the Unborn, Pray
for Us.

advocated only by persons who themselves have been born." (President Ronald
