  • LIVE From St. Michael's: St. Joseph and Lent

    St. Joseph was literally a man of few words as he is not recorded saying anything in the Holy Scriptures.  However, that doesn't mean he doesn't have anything to tell us about how to live our lives as disciples of Jesus Christ.  Join Adam and Fr. Jacob as they discuss St. Joseph concerning what we have to learn, how to learn from him, and how to apply it to the Lenten season.  This episode was recorded LIVE from St. Michael Parish in Schererville, IN.

About Chosen

From the publisher's feed

We can often expect God to communicate His presence in very grand ways: a burning bush, parting sea, or pillar of cloud. But more times than not, God chooses the simple, quiet, and seemingly ordinary moments of daily life to communicate His love. Chosen, a Region Catholic Production, spends time each week reflecting on the ways God shows us his love and how to best respond.
