Here are a few of the links mentioned in the show:

I read a book a number of years ago that really stuck me by it's simplicity and depth. The Privilege to Be Catholic by Fr. Oscar Lukefahr, C.M.

On the menu today... a mega seafood blowout with Big D, a long-overdue date night with my honey, our Lebanese New Year's celebration (complete with grape leaves and hummus!), and the Epiphany (with a heads-up towards Mardi Gras!).

We are in the Year of the Priest. And I want to share some great news with you about one priest in particular... and his new Family.

Just this past week Fr. Michael Harrington, a diocesan priest of the Archdiocese of Boston, professed the vows of Poverty, Chastity, Obedience, and Fidelity to the Pope according to the statutes of the Institute of Jesus the Priest, a branch of the Pauline Family founded by Blessed James Alberione.

Archbishop Gregory M. Aymond, Archbishop of New Orleans, conferred the Sacrament of Confirmation on 78 young people in our parish Monday night. I had the pleasure, with the assistance of a number of adult leaders, of preparing these young men and women to receive the sacrament.

And I have to tell you that this was the most reverent, holy, and prayerful Confirmation liturgy I have ever attended. I was absolutely delighted to witness it.

Here is an audioboo of my thoughts concerning the liturgy... and a new TV show that has me hooked: FlashForward...

Besides the celebration of the Eucharist, what is the holiest meal you have ever had?

This Sunday's episode, episode 42, will cover "holy meals," and I want to hear from YOU!
