When I used to visit my mom (mostly in the evenings) we would watch either sports of the Game Show Network, and often a podcast that covered the news of the day. During the day my mom watched plenty of EWTN for its prayer offerings and interesting religious shows. I now find myself wishing that we had gotten on her computer to watch some of the MANY offerings that come from the St Augustine Institute on FORMED.org. It has many offerings from movies for adults and children to topical showings that seek to help anyone to grow in and with the Lord. Before I remind you how to open the website and many possibilities that are good and wholesome for all of us, let me indicate what the Augustine Institute currently offers. There are two movies about St Padre Pio that show how God is working in wonderful and even miraculous ways through special faith-filled people who lived in that time. There is a new series put out by the leaders of the Nationsl Eucharistic Revival titled "Jesus and the Eucharist" which will be offered for group reflection here during the upcoming Lenten Season, and will bless us in our efforts to grow in appreciation of the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist and the blessins that flow from it. There is a much shorter sesries entitled "God Is With Us, Presence" that talks about the Euchrist and its effects that is only 30 minutes per episode. Perhaps when November, the month of All Saints and All Souls Day arrives, you might want to watch a series of videos titled "Eternal Rest, The ARt of Dying Well," that helps us ponder something that will affect all of our lives as we face the reality of departure from this world. With the feasts of the ARchangels (September 29) and Guardian Angels (October 2) happening, you might start watching a four video series (from 18-25 minutes long each) titled "Angels and Saints" and ponder the theology and devotion connected with angels (and saitns). I am impressed by the timeliness of the offering found on FORMED that coincide witht he Church seasons and feasts on the liturgical calendar. Unlike most of the video media, you leave its offering informed, instructed, encouraged, hope-filled and/or entertained all in the name of our faith in Jesus Christ. Please give it a try! Go to www.FORMED.org and follow the prompts. If you have any questions, call me (501-209-2502) as I am eager gor everyone to benefit from what is offered.
