Today we look at Catholic Vocations, especially the call to Consecrated Virginity. We also look at a couple of vocation related websites designed to help us better discern God's will in our lives.

A Video Visit to the Icon Corner - The Ascension

Join me in a special meditation upon the Icon of the Ascension as we see how it reflects the union of Heaven and Earth, the reason for the presence of Mary and St. Paul in the Icon, and inspires us on our journey of faith. Click on the Icon on the website at catholicunderthehood.com for a larger image.

The background music is "O ye apostles from all parts" by the Kiev Seminary Choir from Magnatunes.

Every Mother's Way

Oops!

I noticed after the first couple of downloads of episode #43 went out that I had the wrong tags for the file - the size of the file is also too short, the file should be almost one hour long. The corrected version is okay, but those who downloaded it before 11PM on Sunday night may want to download it again. The audio is entirely the same.

#43 - Podcasting in Exam Week

It's the middle of exam grading time, but that doesn't keep me from podcasting away! In this episode, we talk about why May is the Month of Mary, about a hero of the faith and hear another vocation story. We also hear something on Catholic:Under The Hood that has never been heard before!
