This September episode reflects on two Marian titles celebrated this month, Our Lady, Undoer of Knots and Madonna, Divine Shepherdess. We draw on scripture, saints' writings, and the Catechism to explore Mary's role as intercessor.

It also introduces this month's Holy Youth of the Month, Servant of God Anna Zelikova, and answers listener questions about why lay Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion distribute Communion and how priests find ways to celebrate Mass under persecution. The episode closes with family discussion questions and a look at this month's submitted youth artwork.

Through thoughtful questions and shared reflection, this episode invites youth into deeper engagement with their faith—both personally and as part of a growing community.
