On A&E: God or the Girl


Finally, a reality show based on reality. This Easter Sunday on the A&E network carried on cable and satellite, a five-part reality series premieres entitled "God or the Girl". This program has 4 young Catholic men as they contemplate one of the most serious choices in their lives...the choice between the priesthood and marriage. This is not, according to reviews in The Boston Herald, Milwaukee Journal, and New York Daily News, the typical reality show, nor is it disrespectful as one might assume from a title like "God or the Girl". It actually affirms the Catholic Church and honors vocations to the priesthood and the witness of faithful young Catholics. The series has received a positive review from the USCCB.
The full series schedule is as follows:
PART I - EASTER SUNDAY APRIL 16, @ 9PM EASTERN/8C MOST IMPORTANT
PART 2 - EASTER SUNDAY APRIL 16, @ 10PM/9C
PART 3 - EASTER MONDAY, APRIL 17, @ 9PM/8C
PART 4 - MONDAY, APRIL 17, @ 10PM/9C
FINALE (PART 5) - SUNDAY, APRIL 23, @ 10PM/9C

The Magnificent Prayers of Saint Bridget of Sweden




This is a very moving and emotive prayer book on the Passion of Jesus. It opens with a short biographical sketch of this wonderful Saint of The Church.

The book then opens with her prayers to Jesus as He suffered for the Salvation of all. It is truly and deeply moving as she walks us through the sufferings endured by our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.

The pictures selected for this prayer book are also deeply moving and wont leave any soul untouched by its vivid portrayal of what our Lord endured with His sufferings for love of us.

Peace of Christ to ALL
