C&SI - Summer Reflection Series 2026 - "ACCORD: Strengthening marriages and supporting couples" and "Unpacking Magnifica Humanitas" - 12 July 2026 (S06E34)

During the summer months here on C&SI we try to share with listeners reflections and talks which we have come across over the year from various workshops and novenas which we think deserve a wider audience and to provide some thoughtful listening for our listeners. On this weeks podcast we have two such reflections and talks to share from TheWay.ie which is an online platform set up by the Irish Catholic Bishops’ Conference to help people to discover, live and pass on the Catholic faith.

The first segment is an interview with Tony Shanahan and Suzanne Cantwell from ACCORD who discuss the decline in Catholic marriages and the range of services ACCORD provides to support couples.In the second segment Natalie Doherty discusses Pope Leo XIV's first encyclical Magnifica Humanitas: On Safeguarding the Human Person in the Age of Artificial Intelligence (just to note C&SI will be doing a full programme on the new encyclical in the near future).

We have our regular run through the up coming liturgical odds and ends for the coming week including the saints of the week in part one.

And in part three we share this weeks gospel from Matthew which is the parable of the sower.
