An in depth conversation with Catholic filmmaker and Christendom College student, John Paul Gutschke. Fr. Mark asks about his latest work and his philosophy of communication through film.
The title for this blog is taken from Acts 1:8, "But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be my witnesses... to the end of the earth." This blog is about the witness of faith through the power of the Holy Spirit in the world today. The above photo is of the friars on the Sea of Galilee recording video reflections.

Intercession for Priests (Guest: Sr. Briege McKenna, OSC)
Sr. Briege McKenna, O.S.C was born in Ireland and
entered the Sisters of St. Clare at the age of fifteen. Following her
final vows and after suffering for more than three years with rheumatoid
arthritis, she was transferred to her community in Tampa, Florida with
the hope that the Florida sunshine would relieve her suffering. At the
age of twenty-four, she was miraculously and instantaneously healed
during the celebration of the Eucharist and some time later received, in
prayer, the gift of healing for which she has become so widely known.
In 1974, again during prayer, she was given a deep spiritual insight
into the mystery of the call to priesthood. Since then, bishops and
priests in many parts of the world have invited her to speak and
minister at their retreats and conferences. Sr. Briege ministered to
priests in collaboration with Fr. Kevin Scallon, CM for over forty-two
years until his death in June 2018. She now continues with this
ministry.
