Pope John Paul II: Rise, Let Us Be On Our Way

A couple of weekends ago I had the pleasure to read Pope John Paul II's Rise, Let Us Be On Our Way. My wonderful sister gave me this book for Christmas. It was just a pleasure to share this intimate moment with this great man and saint. It doesn't appear that he co-wrote this book with anyone, you can truly feel his presence. As you read this book, you feel like he is sitting right there with you reminiscing about his years as Bishop of Krakow. Although His Holiness wrote this book to instruct his bishops, there is plenty of inspiration for all of us.

Who would you rather trust with a question, one or two experts or hundreds of bloggers posting comments on your site? After reading James Surowiecki's The Wisdom of Crowds, you would probably choose hundreds of bloggers. This doesn't make much sense, but the research and anecdotes are remarkable. The implications for the way we work, how we make decisions at a parish, and how we use the power of the blogosphere are amazing.

Magnificent Magnificat!

I'm so excited! I just received my first issue of the Magnificat spiritual guide for the month of October. I've been looking in the mailbox every day for weeks. It looks awesome! I can't wait for October 1st so that I can use it to guide me through my daily prayer practice.
