So today I got to have a lovely chat with one of the manliest men out there, the star of The Long Ride Home, Mr. Bear Woznick. Bear invited me onto his radio show for a chat about all things Catholic, during which we discussed Judo, St. Edmund Campion, Byzantine Christianity and Atheism.
Please brace yourself for the manliest of conversations…
Since we’re in a season of penance…what does “Anchorite” mean?
The place God calls you to is the place where your deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet.

Here is Jim Caviezel, star of Paul, the Apostle of Christ, speaking to FOCUS, the Fellowship of Catholic University Students. Who else is going to see this movie this weekend? It’s a good way to start Holy Week…
Something a little more low-key this week. This is Chris Rice’s rendition of the hymn “Great is thy faithfulness”…
Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father
There is no shadow of turning with Thee
Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not
As Thou hast been, Thou forever will be
Great is Thy faithfulness
Great is Thy faithfulness
Morning by morning new mercies I see
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me
Summer and winter and springtime and harvest
Sun, moon and stars in their courses above
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love
Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside
Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father
I can’t wait until Lent is over…
