Have you ever wanted to go on a pilgrimage? How about a virtual pilgrimage to a Church in the Archdiocese? How about a pilgrimage to your own parish's tabernacle?
In this action packed episode, we discuss with Father Tony Kruze, pastor of Blessed Sacrament Parish in Waterloo what a pilgrimage is and how he started to get involved in making videos for social media.

What's an atrium? What are these little tiny wooden dolls everywhere? Why are there no television screens or tablets??
These questions and many more will be answered by our guests today.  Sarah Burke and Liz Koenigsfeld are trained catechists in a program called "Catechesis of the Good Shepherd" which is a method of learning, interaction, and contemplation inspired by the Montessori system of education.  In guiding small children into the Mystery, we may find ourselves being guided as well...

Dr. David Pitt offers an intriguing course at Loras called “The Eucharist: Banquet of Justice.” Joined by his former student, Isabelle Werner, they discuss the inspiration for the course and the insights gained.  By learning about the Banquet of Justice that is the Eucharist, we can rise above the false dichotomies in our Church culture and accept the invitation to the feast that Jesus is offering each of us, “rich” and “poor” alike.

“A Banqueter's Guide to the All-Night Soup Kitchen of the Kingdom of God” 
by Patrick T. McCormick

“The regular men shuffle through the door seeking their regular hot showers and cozy beds, but a new man arrived and asked for a place to stay.  Paula, the woman in charge at the moment, asked him what possessions he had.  He said he only owned what he was wearing, nothing more.  Other than this moment, the night, our homework, Netflix, and good conversations with my classmates, nothing stood out to me about tonight. Although used to the idea of someone having so little as this man, the concept of minimalism caught up with me and lingered.  Having less material things supposedly makes life more full.  Here was this man in front of me with so little.  I imagine Jesus standing there with empty hands, only a cloak.  In that moment, I remembered how Jesus asks us to take up our crosses and follow him.  I have this vision in my head of Jesus asking me to grasp my personal cross so that I might follow.  I look down, and my hands are full.  Full of my possessions, full of my pride, full of my fear.  I and every other Christian must let these things go so that we can clench our fists tight around the beams of wood we carry with Jesus.”

Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist: Unlocking the Secrets of the Last Supper by Brant Pitre (Doubleday)

Two brother priests tell their story and share their experiences of being involved with the truly miraculous healing ministry of the Holy Spirit.  The healings of Jesus Christ described in the Gospels CAN and DO continue to happen today.  Father Andy Upah and Father Michael McAndrew speak about the Lord’s desire for our complete healing – inside and out – which can then lead to greater evangelization.
