Catholic Media Promotion, Pt. 1

Prudence returns! We hope! Oy. Sorry for my very long hiatus from blogging... there's no excuse really. And I hope that I'll continue to ride the wave of blogging with this 2nd Annual Catholic Media Promotion Day...

Tomorrow is the beginning of a two-day event to for Catholic Media Promotion. Tomorrow, Catholic Media Users around the globe are falling silent in order to contemplate their purpose as media scholars. Despite the fact that I've appeared to have fallen silent for quite some time, I hope to use Catholic Media Promotion Day to spring back into action with my blogging! Because I miss it. I hope (if any of you are left) that you miss me a little bit too!

So, that said, with "Catholic Media Promotion Day - Part 1: #SilenceandWord Campaign" I will (try) to do the same as my other brothers and sisters in Christ, spending the time I would normally be using social media contemplating what God is calling me to do as a Catholic Media scholar, especially as I continue to work on my dissertation on the same topic. Thursday, we'll again take up our media of choice, explaining the fruits of this silent contemplation




B16!! He's my fave...
"Silent contemplation immerses us in the source of that Love who directs us towards our neighbors so that we may feel their suffering and offer them the light of Christ, his message of life and his saving gift of the fullness of love." - Pope Benedict XVI
