Cared Straight                                 pl 693 cared-straight

Did you know that there are 1100 gangs in LA County with 86,000 gang members? Is anyone doing anything to help correct this problem? Does anybody care?

This interview of Fr. Greg Boyle, SJ, by Fr. Mike will give you much hope. Fr. Greg has been working with gang members for over 24 years! He founded Homeboy & Homegirl Industries which helps the young people learn how to run a business, cook, wait on people. It gives them hope. Fr. Greg says that the most important thing is giving them a community where they are respected.

In the natiion, recidivism is 70%. That number of people are repeat offenders. Only 30% start a new life. But with Fr. Greg's ministry, it is just the opposite. 70% begin again! It is very inspiring to hear this story of one man who has changed the lives of so many previously hopeless young people.

Don't miss Cared Straight on Sunday, February 5 on TBN at 6:30 a.m. EST (3:30 a.m. PT) and again on The Church Channel (TCC) on Tuesday, February 7 at 11:30 a.m. EST (8:30 a.m. PT). Later it will be on our website 24/7 at www.wordnet.tv.

Faces of God                           sp468 faces-of-God

Suppose you were so lost that you
had given up all hope. Then you saw a helicopter coming to your rescue. What a wonderful feeling to be found when you are lost!

In this show, Faces of God, Fr. Mike goes on to explain God’s love for us through the parables. In the parable of the Lost Sheep, Jesus explains that God is searching for us untiringly. Sometimes that makes us uncomfortable. Do we really want God to find us?

Fr. Mike recites portions of the poem Hound of Heaven by Francis Thompson to explore in depth why we might not want God to find us. He then goes on to try to fathom WHY God loves us this much.

Pardon my lenten smile
 
pardon my lenten smileOver 30 years ago, I wrote a book entitled Pardon My Lenten Smile. The book sold well. Through the years several people have told me how they still read the book each Lent. And they inevitably ask, "Why don't you write another Lenten Smile?"

Well, here it is...finally! I haven't gone back to the first book to compare. I've tried to be open to the effect that 30 years of priesthood have had on my study of Scripture, prayer life, preaching, counseling and writing.

I hope the book blesses you. I've written it with great love for Jesus and for you. If your reading helps you to love Jesus more, you'll give me a big Lenten smile!

fifteen faces of god
 
Fifteen Faces of Godmike's book 2

There are times in our lives, and especially in the life of our country, when we are all enduring unusual stress.  This book gives us reason to hope. Michael Manning is a gifted writer and has the gentle ability to reach into the human heart, especially the hurting heart, and bring comfort and healing and hope, a hope that comes from the reality that God is nearby, and that in spite of what some cynics may say, he does enter into our lives and delicately arranges things so we find ourselves on a peaceful, sunny shore, far from the troubled waters where we were sure we would drown. Fr. Joseph F. Girzone

Fifteen Faces of God is an in depth study of the parables of Jesus relating to us the face of his Father.

PRICE: $20.00 S/H incl.

Father Mike's word for today
The Beauty of Death
We do all we can to run away from death. We use our seat belts. We try to look young with pills and operations. We don't want to let go our our youthful beauty. And then Jesus asks us to embrace death. We don't want to let go our our youthful beauty. And then Jesus asks us to embrace death. Sure we should face our impending death, but this is another death he's talking about. The death to ourselves when we turn away from sin. The death we experience when we try to love our enemy. Then we see a beauty in the people who serve others: parents, missionaries, nurses.
