The Son Rise Morning Show Needs Your Support!
Every day, the Son Rise Morning Show helps a national audience start its day a better way. However, as you might imagine, providing this service is not cheap.
If you're someone who has gotten "hooked" on the Son Rise Morning Show, and want to make sure that it continues to be there when you tune in every weekday morning, we encourage you to support our efforts by making a donation to offset the costs of providing a national, professional, entirely Catholic morning program.
We've made it easy: you can simply click here to make a monthly or one-time pledge to help us to continue to join you at the beginning of every weekday.
What do you know today that you didn't know before you started listening to the Son Rise Morning Show? Our goal is to be the most informative, engaging Catholic resource available today. Whether it's promoting the culture of life when other media sources ignore it, or connecting you with great Catholic authors or speakers, there's no way we can do it without your financial support. Plus, the energy bill doesn't get waived for us just because we're a nonprofit!
Please do your part, however small, to help us continue to provide this valuable resource to our national Catholic community by donating today to help the Son Rise Morning Show continue to help listeners across America start their day a better way.

"So They Really Are Christians"
I toured a Greek Orthodox church the other day. Built in 1972, it has a spare, modern design. Yet it is still eminently Greek Orthodox, from the glittering murals overhead to the iconostasis (the screen separating the main church from the sanctuary).
The guides were well-versed in theology, and the walk-through was as much an introduction to Greek Orthodoxy as it was to the building. The patter was obviously perfected over many years -- including explanations of what liturgy is for the Protestants and "unchurched," and details about the sacraments for the Catholics. There were even a couple of "head 'em off at the pass" moments designed to discourage people from staying after the tour to try to convert the tour guides to different brands of Christianity.
But still, I was a little surprised when the tour ended and one of the people sitting next to me turned to the other and said, "So they really are Christians."
What a strange world we live in , when zealous Christians of any stripe sincerely do not recognize the oldest Church in the world for what it is. As a Catholic, of course, I'm used to certain "Christians" thinking I'm not a Christian at all. But somehow it never occurred to me that anyone could think of the Greek Orthodox as, well, anything but the "original" Christians.
Pope John Paul II referred to the Eastern Orthodox as the Church's "other lung," a vital missing organ that the Church will miss until we are finally reconciled.
I don't claim to know how to fix something that has been broken for nearly a thousand years, but I do know that it's broken. I have every confidence that someday the Church will be, once again, one. When we reconcile with the "other lung," it will be because theological and practical details will be at last overcome.
But when we reconcile with the tens of thousands (yes, there are that many) of groups that have split off, first from the Church, and then from each other, it will be in part because those lost Christians will be able to look at the Orthodox and say, without surprise, "They really are Christians."

Rita Heikenfeld's Double Pea Salad

Double Pea Salad
I could eat almost all of this myself! Adapted from a recipe sent in by a reader. Go to taste on the dressing, adding more of any ingredient if you like.
Salad:
1/2 pound(s) snap peas, strings removed or use snow peas (you won’t have to string them)
1 package (10-ounce) frozen peas or equivalent fresh peas
Dressing:
1/2 cup minced red onion
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Palmful of fresh dill leaves, chopped
1 tablespoon(s) sugar or substitute
Salt and pepper to taste
Steam peas until crisp tender. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking. Drain again and dry. Mix dressing ingredients and pour over peas, tossing to coat. Eat right away or refrigerate a few hours. As they sit in the dressing, peas will turn lighter green.
