Catholic Channel on SiriusIf you haven’t subscribed to Sirius Satellite Radio yet, here’s another reason to consider it.

It’s the Sirius Catholic Channel which you’ll find at channel 159. Here’s what it says about it:

Church Using New Media

post comment Posted by – February 25th, 2007

I subscribe to Our Sunday Visitor which has an interesting article in the latest edition titled, “Cardinals embracing new media to spread Gospel” “Podcasts, satellite radio among the latest venues where Church leaders share their message” You can find it online here although you need to register to see it.

In it the article talks about how the internet is being used by cardinals and bishops as a way to reach people in a very personal way through mechanisms like this one (blogs, podcasts, etc.). This makes perfect sense to me as we’ve seen the way people consume information change so rapidly in recent years. This first iPod was only introduced in 2001!

Of course they mention Cardinal Sean O’Malley, Boston. You can find him online here. And don’t forget his podcast, the CardinalCast.

The article also mentions the fact that the New York diocese is working with Sirius Satellite Radio on a Catholic channel of programming.

Lenten Message

post comment Posted by – February 25th, 2007

It has been an incredibly busy time in my work requiring an immense amount of travel. I’m behind on posting again. However, with Lent just having gotten underway I’m trying to take some time for personal reflection and to slow down a little bit.

If you’re interested in what Pope Benedict has to say about Lent you can find his message posted here.

Excerpt:

Dear Brothers and Sisters!

“They shall look on Him whom they have pierced” (Jn 19:37). This is the biblical theme that this year guides our Lenten reflection. Lent is a favourable time to learn to stay with Mary and John, the beloved disciple, close to Him who on the Cross, consummated for all mankind the sacrifice of His life (cf. Jn 19:25). With a more fervent participation let us direct our gaze, therefore, in this time of penance and prayer, at Christ crucified who, dying on Calvary, revealed fully for us the love of God.
