In this episode of En Route Books and Media, Rich May talks about his book Addressing Loss of Belief in the Real Presence: What we can do as a parish and as an individual to better restore belief in and evangelize Christ’s Eucharistic Presence.  The greatest crisis in the Church today is the desacralization of our Lord in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass … contributing to loss in belief in the Real Presence. Drawing from the fruits of the USCCB three-year revival as a starting point, and recent survey data, Rich digs deeper evaluating our posture for reception of Communion, catechesis, decorum, modesty of dress, liturgical music and some simple improvements our parishes can implement. It is not enough to believe, we must act like we believe, because actions speak louder than words!

In this episode of Ephiphany, Lynda Rozell shares with Vanessa Denha Garmo on her Ave Maria Radio program Epiphany the good news of the pre-publication of her book Return to Me: Visits to the Tabernacle. (May 13, 2024) Return to Me: Visits to the Tabernacle discusses tabernacle images with reflections on their symbolism, encouraging devotion to Jesus in the tabernacle and drawing readers to adoration at the tabernacle outside of a formal holy hour. Organized under the themes of Nourishment, Sacrifice, Jesus, Spirit, Church, and Mission, this book helps readers deepen their devotion to Jesus in His Real Presence. In addition to reflections from Scripture and tradition, the book includes photographs of tabernacles visited by the author to help guide the reader’s prayer and meditation.  In so doing, they show the reader how to use visual images as a starting point for prayer, teaching readers how to enter more fully into their personal conversations with Christ by prayerfully “reading” their own tabernacle and those they encounter in their busy lives.   Return to Me: Visits to the Tabernacle by Lynda Rozell | En Route Books and Media

Modern science tells us that our “physical” universe began in a highly ordered, but unstable, non-physical state where even the laws of physics were not fully formed. It’s almost like something spiritual became broken. Evidence for design is apparent in evolution and has baffled scientists for decades. Yet, it is a world full of evil, suffering and death. On the other hand, Scripture tells us that God created everything, and it was good. But when Lucifer and other angels fell, all hell broke loose! Literally. Can we reconcile these two accounts of creation in a way that provides deeper insights into the mysteries of both the scientific and the biblical accounts of creation? The Fallen Angel Model addresses that question by speculating on whether our evolving universe, filled with physical and moral evils, is somehow linked to the fall of the angels.
