The Feast of Corpus Christi Novena with Fr. Conlin
“But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, so that you may not appear to others to be fasting, except to your Father who is hidden. And your Father who sees what is hidden will repay you.”
– Matthew 6:17-18
Many Catholics long to deepen their love for the Eucharist but often feel disconnected from the rhythm of fasting, feasting, and true spiritual preparation that the Church has always offered. What if preparing for Corpus Christi could completely transform the way you experience Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament? In this powerful replay episode, Beth Bubik sits down with Fr. Richard Conlin to discuss Eucharistic devotion, spiritual fasting, and the beauty of living according to the liturgical rhythms of the Catholic Church. If you’ve ever struggled to connect fasting with joy, or if you desire a deeper hunger for Christ Himself, this conversation will speak directly to your heart.
Recorded while Fr. Rich was studying at the Angelicum in Rome, this conversation explores the spiritual richness behind his book 9 Days to Corpus Christi, a novena and Eucharistic preparation unlike any other. Beth and Fr. Rich discuss the Eat Fast Feast cycle, the importance of Sundays and feast days, and how fasting was never meant to be miserable or disconnected from celebration. Together, they reflect on the wisdom of Jay Richards, the prophetic writings of Caryll Houselander, the beauty of sacramental living, and the playful ways Jesus continually draws souls closer to Himself. Through stories, humor, theology, and practical spiritual wisdom, this episode reveals how fasting can become a pathway to deeper Eucharistic intimacy rather than mere self-denial.
In this episode, Beth and Fr. Richard Conlin discuss Corpus Christi, Eucharistic devotion, Catholic fasting, spiritual feasting, liturgical living, and Fr. Rich’s powerful book 9 Days to Corpus Christi. They also share personal stories about prayer, games, saints, Road Runner cartoons, and the joy of seeking Jesus through the Sacraments. If you are longing to rekindle your love for the Eucharist and enter more deeply into the Feast of Corpus Christi, this replay will inspire and encourage you to begin that journey today.
