Dear Friend,
A major omission on my part. Paul Harrigan and his group provided incredibly beautiful and moving music and song before this event {Jim Caviezel and the Passion of the Christ} and after it for about one half hour each time. Paul is a young songster, song writer and guitarist from Los Angeles. You can 'Google' him and you will find a brief bio and his latest CD. You can also go to his website, Paulharrigan.com.
One song in particular, "Fill Me Up" is an invocation to the Holy Spirit and means a lot to me and many others who have heard it. Paul wrote it, plays the music for it and sings it with subtle passion and obvious faith.
Paul sometimes sings at the monthly Prayer and Pasta for young Catholics that takes place at Family Theater in Hollywood on Sunset Blvd. We are inviting him to be there on September 21, the third Wednesday of the month.
If you know of Catholics in Hollywood who want to come together for Prayer and to share a meal with others in the entertainment industry please refer them to Hollywoodprays.com. Family Theater's address is 7201 Sunset Blvd, Hollywood, CA 90046. The Prayer and Pasta evening begins at 7 PM, really 7:30.
Also, I heard someone calling me from the bleachers at World Youth Day on Friday afternoon. What a joy to discover it was Caitlinn Scanlon all the way from Saint Christine's Parish in Marshfield, MA.
Her parents and family are good friends from Stonehill College days. God bless them all. I hope you got home safely, Caitlinn.
God bless,
FR. Willy
While Blessed John Paul II was pope as he was going through illness and difficult days, a Capuchin Friar stood below his window in Saint Peter's Square, raised his fist and cried out "Coraggio." Just what the Pope needed to hear. The Pope made him preacher to the Papal Household. We all need that "Corragio" from God and others from time to time. I hope this blog gives a lift and helps inspire all who read it, at least from time to time.
