There are neat shows coming up this week:
Into Great Silence
Wed. Dec. 28 at 1 PM ET & Sat. Dec. 31 at 8 PM ET
Step into the riveting silence of Philip Groning’s stunning documentary on the spirituality of Carthusian monks. Filmed without narration and very little dialogue at the Monastery of the Grand Chartreuse in France, Mr. Groning captures the brimming vitality of monastic life and the overpowering sound of God. I saw this at a movie theater here in Albuquerque. It was packed, but there was not one sound until the film ended. One person said:” It is going to be painful to go back outside.” What a powerful film this is!
The King In Our Midst
Thu. Dec. 29 at 3 AM & 6:30 PM ET
Eucharistic Adoration is becoming more common in the Archdiocese of Atlanta, Georgia, and other dioceses throughout the United States. Join Charles Molineaux as he explores the power of our Eucharistic King.
This is not a practice in the Eastern Churches. In the Eastern Churches, the Sacrament is venerated with many incensings, but It is always covered with veils. The tabernacle is behind the iconostas screen or behind closed curtains. It emphasizes the great mystery which is Christ living among us under the form of the consecrated Bread.
But I have always found it profoundly moving that Jesus Himself allows Himself to be exposed, with only a thin piece of glass covering the Host in which He resides, completely vulnerable and so asking us to be vulnerable. Some of the finest men I know are regular adorers of the Blessed Sacrament. I have seen changes in the parishes here which offer it.

The Chimes
