“From the depths of my heart, I wish all of you a blessed Easter. To quote Saint Augustine, "The resurrection of the Lord is our hope".

Audio Archives
After months of programming, testing and preparing files, the new HMWN Radio Maria archives are now available. We've redesigned our audio archive system and added many more talks previously aired on HMWN Radio Maria.
One of the most exciting features we now offer is a 'Search by keyword' function. For example, if you are looking for a talk on a subject such as the Catholic teaching on abortion, you would simple type 'abortion' in the search box, hit the go button and all related talks would be displayed.
If you enjoy what you are listening to and would like forward a direct link of the talk to someone you know, simply click the 'forward this link to a friend' arrow. Enter your friends information and they will receive an email with a link to the specific talk.
The 'Search by Category' option will help you to narrow down your search if the 'keyword' option is not what you are looking for. Search by program name or Program Host is available as well.
With over 500 talks and growing we are proud to bring you the new HMWN Radio Maria Audio Archive system.

The Rosary in our Schools Program continues to enjoy great success in many of our Catholic schools. Check out the latest edition of the newsletter to read what students are saying...
The following is a sample of what you will find in the newsletter. It is written by Julian, a student at St. John the Evangelist grade school.

The Rosary is very important to me, because I’m communicating with God, and Mary, and Jesus. The experience of praying the whole Rosary on Radio Maria, was very touching for me. It was also spiritual. I wasn’t the only one that was touched by this. All the people who were old and sick, who were listening also probably felt touched by this, and it probably brought their spirits up. "

Taxpayers are on the hook for $700 billion from the Troubled Asset Relief Program to back up bad mortgages and uncertain assets. The total government cost could easily add up to trillions of dollars.
If the average person goes to a bank and gets a mortgage on a house, and then finds for whatever reason that he cannot make the payments, the bank, in most cases, will quickly repossess the property.
