We had a retreat this weekend in San Diego and I was introduced to this song…
Hallelujah, you have won the victory (lift up your voice and say now)
Hallelujah, you have won it all for me
Death could not hold you down
You are the risen king
Seated in majesty (yeah)
You are the risen king
By his stripes we are healed
By his nail pierced hands, we’re free
By his blood we’re washed clean
Now we have the victory
And The power of sin is broken
Jesus overcame it all, yeah, yes he did
(He has won) He has won our freedom (yes he has)
Jesus has won it all (it all, oh)
Hallelujah (won the victory) you have won the victory (so glad that we’re alive, sing)

Allusions to the Deuterocanon
I just received an email from Catholic Apologist, John Martignoni, which included a list of allusions to the Deuterocanon (or “Apocrypha” if you’re Protestant). He wasn’t quite sure where he got it from, but I think it’s worth being better known:

TOT: Catching Foxes on “Goodness”
April 4th, 2018: Catching Foxes @ Mission San Diego
About the speaker: Luke and Gomer started a podcast to fulfill their obligation as American men in their thirties that work in ministry. Their show, Catching Foxes, oscillates between a conversation about the intersection of faith and culture and interviews with guests that deserve better. Catching Foxes has almost five million downloads. It doesn’t make sense to Luke or Gomer either.
When he’s not woodworking or watching YouTube videos on woodworking, Gomer lives in Houston, TX with his wife Shannon and four kids. When he’s not lamenting the USMNT failure of Oct. 10, 2017, Luke lives in Cincinnati, OH with his wife Erin. To learn more about Catching Foxes, Google it like an adult, or visit CatchingFoxes.fm or follow them on Twitter.

TEA: Worship in the Early Church
A couple of weeks ago I gave a talk to a Young Adult group in the Diocese about Worship in the Early Church. I’ve given this talk before (and the audio quality is better there), but here’s the latest incarnation of it:
