		<itunes:summary>(This is a special project and currently my personal experiment to help Catholics and those of others denominations who follow the Catholic lectionary prepare for Sunday services.  It's currently an experiment and I need your feedback, comments and questions.  Please read on and listen to the recording to help make this project a success.)

A spiritual practice I have found helpful is reading the Sunday readings before I show up at church.  It helps me make Sunday more than just showing up and leaving an hour or so a week.  It makes it a part of my week culimating when I do go to church.  In case I get distracted, I'm already up on it.  It's something I know.

In order to do this prep, I've looked around for podcasts I could download to my IPOD and listen during my daily comute.  However, I haven't been able to find something that covers the Sunday church reading just the way I thought they should be covered.  (I'd love to hear of any you have found you do like.) 

My idea of  a good one is one that is substantial and relevant to working and non-working professionals.  I wanted it to be practical and not highly intellectual or theological going over the heads of the average Joe (or Jane) in the pew.  My main focus is for it to help me prepare and reflect.

This is pilot or test recording.  I'm saying that upfront.  I haven't fancied it up with any before and after music.  I haven't made this available on iTunes or the other podcast directories.  What I have done is get together with my good friend Mickey Itchon, two microphones and my recording equipment.  We grabbed the readings for Sunday July 27th off the US Conference of Catholic Bishops website. (Click here for the readings we used.  It's the 13th Sunday of Ordinary Time.)  Then I uploaded it to my blog.

We followed this format. 

	We read the first reading out loud.  
	Mickey sings the responsorial psalm. 
	We read the second reading and gospel. 
	We do a 15-20 minute back and forth/banter on the scriptures. 

As I said earlier, I would really like feedback.  I need to hear from as many people as possible:

	Do you like our style, approach, format?
	Did it work on your equipment?  Any tips you can give us to help others get access to this?
	Would this help you prepare for your Sunday worship experience?
	Is the sound quality decent on our PC, IPOD, mp3 player, etc?
	Did you like us singing the responsorial psalm?
	Would you have prefered a video podcast instead?
	What additions would you make that would make this more valuable to you?
	Is this something you would download weekly to your IPOD/MP3 player and use weekly?  Why? Why not?

I appreciate your comments using the feature below.  I'm hoping to use your input to make this better before I make too many decisions on how I'll proceed with this project.

You can listen to it hear in the player







To download it to your machine so you can play in on your IPOD or MP3 player, right click on the "Download" link above and click "Save Target As..."  Let me know how this works on your machine so I can provide better instructions.</itunes:summary>

		<description><![CDATA[If you read my Love Dare article from a year back you&#8217;ll see how I dedicated 40 days last Spring to improving my marriage.  It&#8217;s not that it was on the rocks and in bad need of repair.  I just wanted to take a good thing and make it better.
In my Novena article I talk about a 9 day practice I followed to help get me re-focused and balanced.  There are times when I get way out of whack and I need something like this to bring ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I read this book the first time in 2001 and it changed me. Based upon the writings of Catholic monk Thomas Merton, it helped me see that we live in God’s presence all the time so prayer is not so much a reaching out to God (because He is already here), but a melting away of a mist (frequently made up of our highly driven minds) preventing us from becoming moment-by-moment aware of God’s awesome presence.
In the book, the author states, “Prayer without words is not so much expressing our ...]]></description>
