Catharsis
"each according to the dictates of his
own conscience"
This
is very much a niche market post; a story that JMcD sent me. EWTN
has
replaced RFD-TV as my escape television channel. When I have
trouble
sleeping I'll often turn it on. What I did not know is that
Mother
Angelica founded EWTN in Birmingham in 1981 as the world’s first
Catholic cable outlet, and hosted several of its programs. If you
need
help saying the rosary, or want to watch Bishop Sheen, this is the
spot.

Recently
I went back to this haunt for the same reason ... looking for some
comfort. Throughout my 2-3 years of
absence, I would occasionally
be haunted by this "chant," by what looked like a family*.
I forgot
the tune, but the faces stuck in my mind. After rummaging through
EWTN's archives, I found it - HERE (skip the opening
three minutes). Look at the faces. They remind me of a living
Norman Rockwell painting (rollover). I
watch it daily Yes, it is a religious "chantling," of
sorts, but then so too was George Harrison's "My Sweet Lord," (Hindu), and I
fancied that.
* It is the Vinny
Flynn family. I fancy the one in red (he said avuncularly)
