This short informational video could be used with a high school or junior high audience as a thorough reminder of how we appropriately approach and receive the Blessed Sacrament during Holy Communion.

Ubi Caritas

Ubi Caritas, Durufle
In honor of the Feast of St. Gregory the Great, here is a bit a Gregorian chant. The Latin words of the refrain translate as "where charity and love prevail, God is there." This song is traditionally an antiphon for the washing of the feet at the Mass of the Lord's Supper on Holy Thursday, the beginning of the Easter Triduum.

The King's Good Servant...

from A Man for All Seasons
St. Thomas More obeyed the voice of his conscience up to his death. Though he upset many people, even those whom he loved, by his fidelity to the truth, he knew that he could not lie to himself and would one day have to stand before the throne of God and answer the ultimate judge. Thus, he died, "the king's good servant, but God's first."
