Catholic Spiritual Practices

Dynamic and authoritative, this video has the power to change how you think--and what you do--about your faith. (Five video presentations published in partnership by Paraclete Video and The Church in the 21st Century Center, Boston College.) There is a story of a young violinist who had an audition at Carnegie Hall. As she hurriedly exits the subway, she is momentarily disoriented. To her relief, she sees an old man with a violin under his arm and thinks that surely he will know. "Sir, can you tell me how to get to Carnegie Hall?" she asks. "Practice, practice, practice," he says, with a grin. It's the same way with the Catholic faith. These videos introduce you to many of these practices, some old, some newer, to enable you to sustain and grow a vibrant Catholic faith.
