• Videosharing To Proclaim
    Posted by Fr. Stephen, MSC Dec11
    Videos have a universal appeal. Like music, they can be understood without specialist knowledge. They are fun. They are popular. So popular that Youtube, the most-visited videosharing site on the planet, now streams an average of over one billion videos a day. Videos shared in Youtube and other videosharing sites usually last less than 10 minutes and they are called video clips or simply clips. Video clips are available in many categories classified according to their content. The most popula... more »
  • Priests Who Tweet
    Posted by Fr. Stephen, MSC Dec10
    Following priests on Twitter can be a stimulating experience. While their main goal is to spread God's Word, they also tweet about their everyday experiences, their opinion on issues that affect all of us, and about other things that engage and excite their attention and curiosity. There are those who tweet their prayers. Others talk about the liturgy. There are also those who provide the latest updates from their Church and from their mission areas.

But did you know that the story of this legendary bearer of gifts to children is patterned after the life a Christian Bishop? The name of the Bishop is Nicholas. He was born in the third century in a place that is known today as Turkey.

  • Using Dolls to Promote Vocations to the Priesthood and Religious Life
    Posted by Fr. Stephen, MSC Dec8
    I have worked as a Vocations Director for over a year and I have seen some truly creative ways of promoting vocations to the priesthood and religious life. But never have I thought that someone would actually use dolls as vocations promotion tools. I think using huggable dolls to foster vocations among the young is actually cool. And this is not an entirely novel idea. Dolls have been around since the dawn of civilization and they've been used for various purposes. Ancient cultures used d... more »

May He teach us to listen t... more »

  • Bokeh Photos of Candles
    Posted by Fr. Stephen, MSC Dec2
    Often, when I think of Advent and Christmas I think of candles. Candles symbolize the light of God coming into the world through the birth of Jesus, His only begotten Son. In John 8:12, Jesus says, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life". There are so many references to Jesus as "light" in the Bible, that representations of light such as candles have naturally become one of the most important and popular symbols of Christian... more »
  • Where to Find Linux Screencasts/Video Tutorials
    Posted by Fr. Stephen, MSC Dec1
    The importance of video in learning Linux cannot be overemphasized. For most people, the best way to learn is to watch someone do it first. One great advantage of video tutorials is that learners can work at their own pace. They can watch the recording, pause it, go to a particular time code, stop it and watch it as many times as they need. The video tutorials and screencasts offered in the following sites cover a wide range of Linux systems and applications. Most of the free tutorials are d... more »
