Heart to Heart is a faith-filled podcast from Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Uvalde, where we dive into meaningful conversations about Catholic life, spiritual growth, and community. Join Fr. Matthew De Leon and guests as we explore the heart of our faith—through prayer, reflection, and real-world discussions that bring us closer to Christ and one another.
On Ash Wednesday, we hear the words, “Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return.” These words are not meant to discourage us, but to wake us up. In this episode of Heart to Heart, we reflect on what Ash Wednesday truly means, why we receive ashes, and how we can enter Lent with purpose instead of pressure. This is not about being perfect for forty days. It is about returning to the heart of God.

Ep 8: Faith in the Ordinary
Ordinary Time can feel quiet, routine, or even boring compared to seasons like Lent and Advent. But most of our faith journey happens right here, in the ordinary moments of daily life.
In this episode of Heart to Heart, we reflect on how God meets us in the middle of our routines, our responsibilities, and our everyday choices. As we prepare our hearts for Lent, this episode reminds us that holiness is often built slowly and quietly, one faithful step at a time.
