Got this in the ol' e-mail box:

Hi.

Love your website--incredibly great resources! Just not enough hours in the day for all those wonderful speakers.

Here's a site you may want to check out: www.wordnet.tv. It's run by some Society of the Divine Word priests in San Bernardino, CA, headed by Fr. Michael Manning.

Here's a link to their audio podcast page

I came across them quite by accident; one day I was surfing The Church Channel (a side channel of the Trinity Broadcast Network, of all things), and saw...a Catholic Mass! I couldn't believe it. A half-hour Mass, on an evangelist network? Still, there it was, from Wordnet Productions.

The Mass is also online.

Then I found out they also do a weekly interview show, The Power of Love.

Check 'em out!

Thanks, and keep up the good work!
Scott R.

Thanks, Scott.

You heart the man -- check 'em out!

Just wanted to give a shout out to a good friend of mine who has (finally) decided to start blogging. Would you kind folks please drive some traffic that way?


Tell your wives, sisters and girlfriends.

Oh, and please leave her a comment. You can tell her I sent ya'.

Thanks, and God Bless!

Fr. Z reports:

On Monday evening, 1 March 2010, Archbishop Charles Chaput of Denver gave a speech at Houston Baptist University called “The Vocation of Christians in American Public Life”.

The lecture was presented in coordination with the Pope John Paul II Forum for the Church in the Modern World at the University of St. Thomas.

He criticized President John F. Kennedy’s historic campaign speech on his faith impacting his possible presidency as “sincere, compelling, articulate – and wrong.”

I think this was a very important address. As such, I decided to make a PODCAzT by reading the text of the Archbishop’s speech (yes, it is available also on Youtube) with by comments before and after. I received the link to the Youtube page while I was making this, but decided to post anyway. And my rendering of the talk section is a bit short that the original. Check the page of the Archdiocese of Denver.

From Fr. Z:

Here is a reading of the Via Crucis, the Way of the Cross, composed by Joseph Card. Ratzinger, now Pope Benedict XVI, for the 2005 Good Friday observance at the Colosseum in Rome.

Also, for your Lenten spiritual warfare, here are two versions the popular Via Crucis by St. Alphonsus Liguori. One version is plain, just my voice. The other is the same voice recording, but with the Gregorian chant Sequence Stabat Mater interlaced between the stations.
