Episode # 1770 - Social Media And Saint Stanislaus Kostka

Due to Father Anthony being away this week, this is a re-air from August 22nd.  Thank you.

Father Anthony and Tony are back with us again today, the Two Tony's as we call them when that happens, LOL.  But both are very excited to be here and for one thing, Father Anthony is very excited on the show today to talk about something very important.  He brings up his memories of when he was first diagnosed with cancer and when he first started going through the treatments for it and his recovery, he received all kinds of prayers, masses, letters, messages, and other ways of people sending their thoughts and prayers to him and for him, making him feel like "a Superstar" he says.  As a sign of gratitude for all of that, he points out that starting September 1st, he's going to start having special masses every first Saturday of the month called: A Eucharistic Mass of Healing, which inspired by all the healing cards, letters, and prayers Father Anthony received.  This also allows that Winds of Change has joined the social media circle too, with a Facebook Page solely for the show and up and running, allowing how everyone can and has sent/typed in their thoughts and prayers on certain matters, as well as offering prayers in general, and even confessions, problems, situations that they find hard to deal with, and all other things that Father Anthony has helped out with when people come to St. Stanislaus Kostka for confessions or to pray or talk about.  This allows to talk about the use of social media sites in general and their affect and impact on people and the world.  Related to this subject, after the first break, is talking about the Feast Day of the Queenship, since that is today and talk of Mary and the Jubilee Year St. Stans is still in .  With all this, Father Anthony points out how during our times of struggle and hardship, God is there for us and being the Feast Day of the Queenship, Father Anthony says "you can't separate the Mother from the Son," very inspirational for all of us.
