THE RETURN

Yes, I know how remiss I have been with this blog. Am in the midst of many changes, including moving soon to take over the Passionist TV ministry and be the Director of The Sunday Mass. More on that later.
You may know that I am also involved in a weekly segment with Chris Cuomo of ABC on GOOD MORNING AMERICA NOW. Each week we will discuss issues of faith. The segment is called FOCUS ON FAITH and will air every Friday morning in the 9-10 a.m. third hour of Good Morning America. For more information, visit the website, www.abcnewsnow.com Also, weekly links to the shows will be posted on my website at www.EdwardLBeck.com Please send in your comments to ABC Television after viewing the shows. They read them all and will help to guide our future conversations.

FAITH MATTERS NOW 04/11/2008

As you may have noticed, ALL TOGETHER NOW has now become FAITH MATTERS NOW. ABC decided to rename to show to have it reflect more the kind of stories and interviews we hope to do. It will still air on the ABC NOW network, first on Fridays at 5:30 p.m. and then at various times throughout the weekend and following week. Links to view the show are available at abcnews.com You need to put FATHER BECK into the search box and links to many or all of the shows should come up. ALSO, there are links from my website at EdwardLBeck.com Simply click on bottom page, FR. EDWARD'S ABC SHOW, and you should be directed to pages with all of the links. Some of the blog links have not been working, which is why I'd recommend these two avenues instead, until we can figure out the glitch. This weeks show features a conversation with a woman rabbi from Los Angeles about her new book, WE PLAN, GOD LAUGHS, as well as a conversation with Bill Blakemore of ABC, who covered the Papacy of John Paul II for 27 years. Bill and I talk about this and the upcoming visit of Pope Benedict. The http url links below need to be copied and pasted into your address bar to work. Blessings+ Fr. Edward

THE GLENN BECK SHOW

This week the Vatican released THE NEW SEVEN DEADLY SINS, and it received a lot of press. I was a guest on The Glenn Beck Show on CNN to discuss them. It proved to be a somewhat light-hearted banter that got some good response. In our age of modern technology, it has now been posted on YOUTUBE.COM:

DONNA McKECHNIE, STAR in the original A CHORUS LINE

The January 18th show of ALL TOGETHER NOW is an interview with Donna McKechnie, the original Cassie in the Broadway musical A CHORUS LINE. Some years later Donna contracted Rheumatoid Arthritis and was told she would never dance again, and that eventually she would not be able to walk either. She talks about how she made a complete recovery through a very atypical treatment-- and a lot of faith.

Two interesting guests, an author who tracked down killers released from Death Row and a mother whose daughter was murdered, and what she now feels about her daughter's killer who is on Death Row:
