"Blessed & Beautiful" is a weekly segment of Morning Light aimed at Catholic women and challenges they face. Today, Taryn Kammaraad tackles the difficult topic of abuse.

Matthew Geske LCPC, Clinical Director with Catholic Charities of Idaho, joins Morning Light to discuss April being Mental Health Awareness Month. Matthew gives tips on how to take action for own mental health or how to begin treatment if you wish. If you have thoughts of suicide, please call 988 - the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline open 24/7 for support.

On this special "Catholic Book Club" segment, Morning Light is excited to talk once again with Eric Meyer. Eric shares his new project - "Deacons (God Willing)" - a short 53-page booklet that describes what a permanent deacon is and what they do. Part Two of the book describes the personal journeys of the other four men who are to be ordained along with Eric on June 6th.
