Elizabeth Tomlin and Professor Catherine Cavadini share a conversation about a new family book, Saints: A Family Story, that she co-authored with her Father Professor John Cavadini of the University of Notre Dame. In this episode we talk about ways that Katie's family has integrated the saints and the Catholic faith into their family - through a habit of prayer, storytelling, and reading. The book arose from John sending “coupons” to his grandchildren during the pandemic, on which they could request a story of saint. John began writing saint stories to his grandchildren, and together, John and Katie compiled this collection of saint stories to share more broadly. Saints is gorgeously illustrated by Tess Cassady in a way that brings each of these saints to life and invites reader to imagine these  holy people are our family members – because they are.  You can can find a PDF of some of the illustrations is on Paraclete Press's website DG-9781640607545.pdf Link to Saints: A Family Story Author and Illustrator Bios Dr. Catherine Cavadini Katie is Associate Teaching Professor at the University of Notre Dame where she directs the Masters of Arts Program in Theology.

This Lent we're reading reflections from Wild Hope: Stories for Lent from the Vanishing, by Gayle Boss. We'll end with an interview with Gayle Boss in the last week of Lent.  The reflections from Wild Hope are grouped into five different weeks, with four creatures in each week, through the season of Lent and four more during Holy Week. Week five is "the Hunted" and the story is about the hawksbill turtle. Wild Hope: Stories for Lent from the Vanishing by Gayle Boss, illustrated by David G.

Meister Eckhart's Book of Darkness and Light with Mark S. Burrows & Jon M. Sweeney This book of Meister Eckhart meditations is for people seeking the “wayless way.” It is not for those looking for a simple path. Many people in our time still go looking for a straight path toward a defined goal, without detours, led by a guide who tells them what to do and what not to do. They would be uncomfortable with Meister Eckhart—a Christian mystic from the century of Rumi and Francis of Assisi—who said to “take leave of God for the sake of God.” These fresh, stunning renderings of his writings in poetic form bring life to one of the great spiritual voices of any age. They reveal what it means to love God and find meaning in darkness. In a culture that craved light—and what culture does not?— Eckhart dared to imagine that the darkness is what matters most. Jon M. Sweeney is an independent scholar, critic, and writer. Several of his books have become History Book Club, BOMC, Crossings Book Club, and QPB selections. He served as an editor at Jewish Lights and Paraclete Press and is currently the editorial director at Franciscan Media. Mark S. Burrows is a poet, translator, and professor of religion and literature at the Protestant University of Applied Sciences in Bochum, Germany. His poetry has appeared in Poetry, The Cortland Review, Southern Quarterly, Weavings, and a number of other periodicals. ********************************************* For more information about BITEradio products and services visit: http://www.biteradio.me/index.html

William Willimon: The Gospel For The Person Who Has Everything - Episode 397 In his book, the Gospel for the Person who has everything, Bishop William Willimon brings the Gospel of Jesus Christ to life for the person who has everything – happy, fulfilled human beings, who don't feel the same level of need expressed by the downcast, the outcast, the brokenhearted, and the miserable. Willimon says that the church's message to the wretched and sad must not exclude the strong and the joyous. Paraclete Press has just released a brand new edition of the Gospel For The Person Who Has Everything, and Bishop Willimon stopped by for a visit so we can talk about it. Buy The Book: https://paracletepress.com/products/the-gospel-for-the-person-who-has-everything Bishop Willimon's Blog: https://willwillimon.com/blog/ ----more----Listen to Rick Lee James MusicOne of the best ways to support independent artists during Covid-19 is to stream our music on platforms like Spotify, Apple Music and Pandora.
