I am popping in to say if you haven't checked out my podcast @heartoftheark from @NwkArchdiocese @EvangiRCAN , it is the best way to find out what is on my mind these days.

Anyone who knows me, knows that talking and singing come easy to me. Writing and playing the piano come with much more difficulty. I want to give you all the gift of hope this holiday. https://t.co/PBotD4OSTf

Antiphons Vs. Hymns • A “Both/And” Church @ccwatershed

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

➡ Bishop Carl A. Kemme, recently called for parishes to sing the prescribed antiphons at Mass. I suggest a "both/and" approach.

Fr. John Gordon and I share insight into the great gift of God's Love in the Eucharist and its representation in the devotion to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus. They close with the Litany of the #SacredHeart and the Prayer of Reparation to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus.

“Making birth free relies on reprioritizing what’s important. If we don’t invest in programs to facilitate the birth of new generations, what’s the point of it all?

“Healthcare must be focused on investing in the future. If we fail, there won’t be an America left to fight for.”

Having a bishop of the church (who runs his own podcast) tell you that he loves your podcast and was listening to you on the way to confirmation, and was looking forward to the drive home.
Priceless. @heartoftheark goes deep on Fatima this week.

[Jennifer Behnke @aphoenixsings]

I went two weeks ago and was going to go for first Friday… but I sort of feel like a touch up would be good before donning white gloves.

[Jennifer Behnke @aphoenixsings]

You guys, on Tuesday I am going to get to carry one of the 13 pilgrim statues of Our Lady of Fatima. Please pray that I can get a priest to hear my confession before then.

[Jennifer Behnke @aphoenixsings]

@PillarCatholic I wonder if you guys know about the @NWFproTX shelter in Jaurez, Mexico named after Stella Maris. It would be wonderful to get more coverage as a secular group that keeps getting heavenly help from Our Lady.

Asking for prayers again for Marsha- 30 weeks pregnant and undergoing chemo for aggressive breast cancer. Please help her Lord, and allow her doctors to discern the best course for her and baby. Also- for her husband and toddler.

@SimchaFisher Next week. My pastor asked if we could schedule a quick meeting as a Triduum wrap up for notes for next year and his comment was “but not until next week!”

the best cook, the best man-at-arms. And when priests devalue their staff and ministers for their professional and God-given talents, they do so at the peril of their whole ship’s health and well being.

[Jennifer Behnke @aphoenixsings]

This is very TLDR- but is am working on my term paper.

It has been a very long time since I can remember being in a church where ushers had to ush. Literally to move families in to the middle of a pew to cram more people in.

[Jennifer Behnke @aphoenixsings]

We are all pilgrims on a journey, we are all in the same boat and we all must remember our function. The priest is not the captain. Jesus Christ is the Captain of our ship. The priest may be the navigator, but he is not the best wheelman, the best radio operator,
