FROM THE PASTOR
I never used to be a morning person, and I’m still not! Even though I wake up fairly early most days, it’s not always a gleeful choice on my part. Up until the time I have my morning coffee, I’m basically on auto-pilot and in no condition to take on the world’s problems or fight against the powers of the Evil One and His minions. I often wonder to myself what, then, is so great about the morning? And why, up until recent the 20th century, was Mass only celebrated in the morning under most circumstances?
Even in the first centuries of Christian (Catholic) practice, we have writings that allude to the fact that the Church would gather early on Sunday mornings to celebrate the Breaking of the Bread, a.k.a. the sacred synaxis, as the sun was rising.

********************
The Chosen is an artistic portrayal of the life of Jesus and the Apostles. As “The Passion of the Christ”, the creators of this series attempt to show how things might have been if we had been there … using the art of cinematography. It is worth watching, but with the idea that not all of the words, actions, or ideas presented are known to be true. Consider it like looking at a work of art attempting to portray the parable of The Prodigal Son. As we watch “The Chosen,” we turn to prayer and the Gospels for “the truth” but realize the lives of those portrayed must have been amazing! Here is a video where Bishop Barron and Jonathan Roumie attempt to describe the series and faith and their relationship:
The following videos discuss two of the most popular Podcasts in the country done by Father Michael Schmitz with help from Jeff Cavins:
