Constant Procession PODCASTS

343- Lent and Abstaining

If abstaining or fasting is wearing on you from time to time; think about what Jesus went when through when the people turned on him.

Also- reflect on the Madonna’s annunciation meeting with the Archangel Gabriel… did what he told her and indeed the things that happened to her come into her mind during her Son’s Lifetime and His Passion?

And Pray for the People of Ukraine. There are links below on ways to support them.

Bill Norberg is 100 years old and a WWII US Navy Veteran who served the entire war on the bridge of the USS Enterprise.

Bill is still unflappable and this week’s podcast goes where few of my podcasts have gone before because it does not include an appariton of the Virgin Mary or a Saint’s story. But it is an amazing event I wish to pass along to you.

Also in this installment is an update for my new novel, “The Very Fine Light.”

330- This Week in Church Histories + Updates for “The Very Fine Light”

This podcast covers events from this week in history including the apparition of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City as well as an update on my new book “The Very Fine Light.”

Can you feel the gradual shift towards Christmas by the activities of people around you?

This week also reminds me of December 7, 1941, when paradise was attacked in Hawaii at Pearl Harbor. Can you imagine how that day of Infamy thrust the USA into war with Japan and also Germany during WW2? 

Fortunately for humanity this second week in December also includes December 8th- the “Conception of the Virgin Mary” and December 9-12 also celebrates when St Juan Diego met an apparition of the Virgin Mary in 1531.

Ultimately throughout history, Christ’s Birthday season always continues.

Also, Pray for the People of Ukraine. There are links below on ways to support them.
