Father Broom speaks to his Friday evening Perseverance Group about the resignation of our beloved Holy Father, Pope Benedict XVI. He also presents a brief history of the Papacy over the last 130 years. He shows us how God has raised up holy, talented, extraordinary Popes to meet the challenges of this modern age. Our good God will give us exactly the Pope we need now.

We must pray for Pope Benedict, for the conclave, and for our new Holy Father
who may be named and installed before Easter! Blessed John Paul II, Pray for us and the Church!

Father Broom shares a story from the life of Bishop Fulton Sheen that demonstrates the Power of the Hour of Power. Bishop Sheen accomplished great things and always attributed his success to the Hour of Power he spent every day with our Eucharistic Lord. Father also tells of St. Claude de la Columbiere and his faithfulness in prayer. That faithfulness helped him recognize the hand of God in the visions of St. Margaret Mary Alacoque.

Ash Wednesday 2013. Father Broom prepares us to have the best Lent of our life and shows us how to live Lent as if it were the last Lent of our life.

Three Practices:

Prayer – especially the greatest prayer, the Holy Mass

Fasting – disciplining ourselves for the glory of God and reparation for sins

Almsgiving – Particularly the almsgiving of kindness to others particularly in our family. To practice kindness when we are tired or frustrated or ill is a great gift we can all give.
