Wondering if there is a problem with the feed? It’s taken me 10 minutes and only half has downloaded. I can’t wait any longer for DB #400!
Father Roderick,
Super Congratulations on your strong commitment and hard work in putting out 400 Daily Breakfast’s!
I can’t believe I have listened to all of them and almost all of the Catholic Insiders from #1.
I know that you have brought them to the world with passion, enjoyment, wonder, work, dedication and fun.
My encouragement & prayers onward to DB #500 and DB #1000 not too long after that!
Peace be with you and God Bless the Daily Breakfast & SQPN,
Michael C
Congratulations on Show #400. I too have listened to all Daily Breakfasts and Catholic Insiders and have enjoyed each episode.
Keep up the fabulous work and God Bless!
I stayed at work much longer than intended to watch the Ustream broadcast live. Lots of fun! Add one more to the list of those who have heard and enjoyed all of the Catholic Insider and Daily Breakfast shows. Thank you so much.
Here’s a challenge to all of my fellow Texans to join me in “ponying up” a little monthly cash for the Dutch dude.
Congrats on 400 DBs!
I was thinking more about praying for things that have already happened and thought that what we could pray for is the “ripples” from those events. I am a big history buff, and one of the reasons why I love history is finding out how things got to be the way they are now. When events happen, there’s the main event, but then there’s the things that people may have learned from it, then they share that with others later, and so on. We could pray that people learn and grow from the past.
I hope that makes sense
Congratulations Fr. Roderick on publishing the 400th Daily Breakfast.
@TJ- Count me in! Another Texan has now “pony’d up a little monthly cash for the Dutch dude” for SQPN (and I am a new listener).
@Fr. Roderick-re:movie “copies” -the current Hairspray movie with John Travolta is actually a remake of one made in 1988 with Ricki Lake as Tracy and Divine in John Travolta’s role. Btw, thanks for all your movie reviews-I really enjoy them!
Especially at this time of year, we give thanks for you and SQPN! Hope you are having a great time in Georgia and have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy 400th, Fr. Roderick! I pray you go on with this work all the days of your life! Thanks for your
wonderful gifts to us all. Wasn’t that a beautiful feedback by Greg about prayers of thanksgiving for the past? That struck a cord of truth in my “being” (not “doing”). (The feedback I gave on that subject was more like a science fiction storyboard…ah well, that’s probably from working so long in animation,HAHA.)
Love and prayers and some funds soon,
Mary in California
I disagree with some of your comments/approach to prayer.
They almost seem to imply a Calvinistic underlying belief - God has an underlying plan and we are welcome to pray for what WE want, but if it’s not in accordance to what GOD wants, we’ll get a ‘no’ or a ‘later’. Sort of as if God has one plan and we have another and they may, or may not, mesh.
Of COURSE God’s desire would be for a faithful, engaging, delightful initiative like SQPN to get the sponsorship it needs to carry on. What: He wants you guys off the air? NOT! So, if you pray, and don’t get the funds, what does that mean? How ’bout simply that on the micro-level things don’t always go the way God wants either (think miscarriages, divorce), but until God is here in fullness, and we are fully present to Him, we all have to live with things not being what God - or we- might wish. Until then, God is as vulnerable as we are to our selfishness and misguided ways of living, so we fund wars overseas but don’t care for the poor. Or we create kabillionaires, but allow people to die of AIDS. God’s own prayers aren’t even being answered.
Back to the matter at hand: if you don’t get the funding, please don’t interpret that as being God’s will. It’s just life on this planet is really hard for us, a lot of the time.
Congratulations on the number 400! It’s an impressive task! I to think I have not missed a single one!
@Nancy - agree with your second part. SPQN goals are very ambitious, to say the least, so I don’t think it’s fair to blame God if you don’t reach them initially. I am sure you will get the means to continues, as this has being happenning so far.
If my calculations are correct, the goal is more than 200000 US dolars this year!
SQPN is important, but, come on! People in the US can donate out of their tax returns, but we from abroad can’t and by the look and feel of recent shows, this is becoming less of an international intiative and more and more an american one….
Don’t take this personally, because I really love the Daily Breakfast and the Catholic Insider despite the fact that you have not produced a new one since August…. Come one - give us one!
Love and peace!
How shall we pray?
Our Father Who are in Heaven
Hallowed be Thy Name
Thy Kingdom come
Thy Will be done
On earth as it is in Heaven…
This is what the Father tells us through the Son.
Seems to me that we really want HIS will and it often DOES NOT coincide or mesh with OUR will. (Like Jesus asking that the cup of suffering pass him by but then He said “Thy will be done” rather than His will here on earth.) It seem we don’t really know God’s will. So I think it all boils down to TRUST. We might NOT get what we want but we trust that God has something better and we defer to His will in all things. SURRENDER, TRUST, those are what we “do” in order to come in closer contact with His will which we DON’T KNOW but which can only be the best ever for us because we DO KNOW He is a perfectly loving God. Just a thought that came to me as I read comments.
Love and prayers,
Mary
