Just Love is about more than just loving others. It's about feeding the hungry and sheltering the homeless. It's about advocating for a just and compassionate society in which everyone -- young and old, citizen and newcomer, Catholic and non-Catholic -- can live and thrive in peace and safety. JustLove is about the work Catholic Charities do nationwide to rebuild after disasters, to touch almost every human need, and to provide help and create hope where they're needed. It's about doing rather than JustLiving.

Pastoral Reflections is an uplifting and inspiring, 30-minute ecumenical program intended to deepen and enrich one’s understanding of their spiritual and human journey. The program feature’s PRI’s creative director, Father Don Fischer, as he reflects on each Sunday’s Scripture readings and how the prevailing message each Sunday is rooted in the recognition that as believers, we are called to accept our imperfect human condition and its perfect complement - the indwelling presence of a loving God. Father Don has always looked for the story within the story, going beyond the subtle teachings of Christ telling us what to do or what to believe, to the messages that heal and transform us as Christians.
