In this episode we look at the Catholic devotion to the Most Precious Blood of Jesus and what it has to do with the Revolution of 1848 and what it has to do with us today.

Lessons from the Shamrock
I had some problem getting the last episode up. First Blogger saved it several times without me realizing it. Then it collapsed before I could delete the extras. My apologies to anyone who was inconvenienced. I knew that the date 06/07/06 was going to be unlucky!
June is the month devoted to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and we will be looking at some of the history of that Catholic devotion, the theology behind it, and how you can increase devotion to the Sacred Heart in your life. We will also look at the backstory of the upcoming movie Nacho Libre and the interesting life of Fray Tormenta [Friar Storm].
