Preview of a Preview: November Series on the Son Rise Morning Show

As we end our series on the Son Rise Morning Show with Anna Mitchell or Matt Swaim and I discussing St. Thomas More's Treatise to Receive the Blessed Body of Our Lord this morning (although it will probably be rebroadcast on Thursday, November 3 during the first EWTN hour), I wanted to post a link to these prayers of St Thomas More.

They include prayers from his Treatise upon the Passion, among them this one for Devotion to the Eucharist:

Our most dear Savior Christ, who after finishing the old Paschal sacrifice instituted the new sacrament of Your own Blessed Body and Blood for a memorial of Your bitter Passion: give us such true faith therein and such fervent devotion thereto that our souls may take fruitful spiritual food thereby.

Amen!

On this All Hallows Eve, as we prepare to celebrate All Saints and All Souls, I also want to announce that we'll begin a new series next Monday, November 7, with highlights every Monday morning in November from Saint John Henry Newman's poem about the Four Last Things (Death, Judgment, Heaven and Hell), The Dream of Gerontius.

It seems like an appropriate series to air during the month of Prayers for the Faithful Departed, the Holy Souls in Purgatory! If you've followed my blog at all you know, dear reader, that I've commented often on this mini-epic poem: epic in scope if not in length, that is!

Please look for the first preview post in this series on Friday, November 4th!
