Word on Fire on TV

Did anyone see Father Barron’s program on WGN this morning? It was on at 8:30am central time. Beautifully done and very inspiring I thought. Apparently it will be a weekly event, so if you haven’t seen it, check it out next week. Tape it if you have to. It’s worthy it.

Also, on EWTN, Scott Hahn and Mike Aquilina are starting a repeat of the series “Swear to God” about covenant relationships throughout the Old and New Testaments.

Tom Nash and Fr. Menezes on EWTN are continuing their series on the “Biblical Story of the Mass”.

A press release, issued before the inaugural broadcast describes the show:

“Now is the time to reach out to Catholics and others who are searching for meaning in their lives or who have left the Church because they are disillusioned,” says Father Barron, a prominent theologian, author, and Archdiocesan priest of Chicago since 1986. “In each episode, our mission will be to encourage believers and bring the transformative power of the Gospel to the culture.”

This is a groundbreaking broadcast. Fr. Barron will become the first priest since Archbishop Fulton Sheen in the 1960s to have a regular, national program on a commercial television network.

“The faith of the Church is our strength,” says Barron. “Our program will strive to show viewers the richness of the Catholic faith and how it is a treasure to be shared now and with future generations. The faith imbues our life with meaning and imparts to all a renewed sense of purpose.”
