At 6:50 am this morning on the Son Rise Morning Show, I’ll be talking with Brian Patrick about Oprah and the influence of popular culture. You can get a sneak preview of my thoughts on Oprah at the Washington Post this week.
Anima Christi
Soul of Christ, sanctify me
Body of Christ, save me
Blood of Christ, inebriate me
Water from the side of Christ, wash me
Passion of Christ, strengthen me
O good Jesus, hear me
Within Thy wounds hide me
Suffer me not to be separated from Thee
From the malicious enemy defend me
In the hour of my death call me
And bid me come unto Thee
That I may praise Thee with Thy saints
and with Thy angels
Forever and ever
Amen
You can read my latest column at the newly-redesigned Crisis Magazine today:
I am going just a leetle nuts today with getting all in order for our weekend trip to the National Shrine of Divine Mercy for the Mercy Sunday celebration.
For those who will be at the shrine, I will be giving a talk about “Forgiveness in the Family” at 10:55 am. For anyone who might be interested in watching my live interview on EWTN, that will air a little before 12:30 pm EDT, and you can watch live online.
Wish me luck!
So I’m messing around with Facebook. If you were a “friend” on my old profile, you’ve been upgraded (free of charge!) to a “like” on my new page. If you weren’t a friend, and you would like to like me … please do! You can see my page and click the “like” button here.
I decided to make the change because I am tired of having to approve requests from people I don’t even know just for them to have access to the stuff I post on Facebook. I love that people are interested, and the links and comments I post on Facebook are certainly intended for public consumption, but I was growing weary of the messiness of having work/family/friends/strangers all tangled up in one account.
So the way it works now … if you want to “follow” me on Facebook, you can and it’s super-easy. Just click the like button on this page and we’re all set. I don’t get access to your personal information and you don’t get bogged down in relationships and connections with a bunch of my other “friends” who aren’t really my friends and we can all rest easy.
Did you follow all of that? God bless you. And I’ll see you on Facebook!
