Podcast Episode #9: Blessed John Paul II

  /   Thursday, May 05, 2011   /   Comments(0)

I just posted my latest podcast episode.

Download it here.

This podcast is primarily a tribute to now Blessed John Paul II and what his work meant for me.  The more I think about it, the more things I think about that I could have said.  Oh well, this isn’t meant to be comprehensive, and my episodes are brief.

Podcast Episode #8: Almsgiving

  /   Wednesday, April 20, 2011   /   Comments(0)

My latest podcast, and the last in my Lenten series, is now posted.

Get it here.

This one is pretty brief.  I didn’t have nearly as much to say on almsgiving.  I did throw in some thoughts on how easy it would have been for Jesus to come down from the cross at the beginning.

Enjoy!

My seventh podcast episode, and my second episode about Lent, is now posted.

Get it here.

In this episode, I cram a lot of various thoughts on prayer together.  I’m hoping to get in at least one, hopefully two, more episodes before Lent is over.

Podcast Episode #6: Lent and Giving Up the iPad 2

  /   Tuesday, March 08, 2011   /   Comments(0)

The newest episode of the podcast is available:

Get it here.

Sure, the iPad is a great device, but it’s Lent.  Besides, we haven’t had our iPads a year yet.  I’ve only had mine since Christmas.  It has some great features, and I’d recommend it to anyone who doesn’t already have an iPad.  However, I start this podcast talking about why I don’t want one.  Of course, in a couple of years, I’m sure I’ll want to upgrade.

Along those same lines, I begin talking about misunderstandings around giving up something for Lent.  There is an article on my web page that I reference in case you’d like to read it.

Podcast Episode #5: Spiritual vs Natural Influence

  /   Monday, January 31, 2011   /   Comments(0)

Episode 5 is now posted.

Download it here.

I got an new iPad for Christmas thanks to my wife and parents.  I have been having a lot of fun with it, and I thought I’d weigh in on the Android vs. iPhone (and also the Microsoft vs. Apple) debate.  I’m a switcher to Macintosh myself and have been since 2006.

I’ve heard a lot about The Rite.  I have not seen it and don’t know if I will, but it did give me inspiration for my little “side note” about demonic influence.

Podcast Episode #4: The Pope’s Comments

  /   Sunday, December 19, 2010   /   Comments(0)

The next episode of the podcast is available.  Download it here.

After goofing off a bit, I go into the remarks of the Holy Father on condom use.  By the way, the book, Light of the World, is an excellent book.  I’ve been reading it off and on for the past few weeks.  We often see the Holy Father in the news, but we don’t get to hear his own perspective on the events in a format like this.

See the book at Ignatius Press.

I really this that this has been an especially bad year for irresponsible media reporting on the Church and the Holy Father.  It seems that they have been especially bad about distorting the words of Pope Benedict, and this isn’t the first time they’ve done it.  I’ve given a couple of other examples of how his words have been misused.

Podcast Episode #2: Monasteries and Missalettes

  /   Thursday, October 28, 2010   /   Comments(0)

The next episode of the podcast is available:  Download it here

In this episode . . .

Last weekend, my wife and I made a day-long pilgrimage to a couple of monasteries:

St. Bernard’s Abbey

Our Lady of the Angels Monastery

Also, with Advent approaching, take note of a certain disclaimer in your missalettes and hymnals, if your parish uses the annual editions.  The companies are trying to tell you it’s illegal and immoral to use them next year.  Check out this article on the same subject from last year.
