Like many podcasters I use the popular Podpress plugin to manage my podcast files and create the podcast and Itunes ready RSS feeds for the Catholic new Media Roundup.  However, last summer the WordPress  2.6 update broke podpress and the maintainer has yet to provide an update.  Like many podcasters, I have been relying on unofficial patches to keep things running.  But today, it broke.  I have switched to another podcasting plugin called the Blubrry Powerpress plugin.  It seems to be working. Unfortunately, it changed the address of my podcast feed that is sent to the Itunes store, so I took advantage of the change to switch my feed in the Itunes store to my feed to my feedburner feed at  http://feeds.feedburner.com/CatholicNewMediaRoundup.  Unfortunately, if you are subscribed through the Itunes store, it may take several days (weeks) for it to update there.  For uninterrupted enjoyment of the Catholic New Media Advent Calendar, check your feedreader or podcatcher and make sure you are subscribed to

Sorry for the inconvenience.  Now on to more great Advent reflections.

The Orsborn Family are: Dave, Karol, Katy, Ellie, and Abbie. Together they produce the delightful Celebrating Saints Podcast. I love how the whole Orsborn family shares their love of the saints and shows other families how they can have fun learning about their faith together. Today they share how St. Francis erected the first nativity scene. Today, December 14, is Katie’s birthday. Take some time to send her some birthday wishes at 206-202-3515 or celebratingsaints (at) gmail (dot) com .

Happy Birthday Katie 

Third Sunday of Advent

This week we celebrate the Third
Sunday of Advent, known as
Gaudete Sunday which means
“Rejoice!” The reason we light a
pink candle the third week of
Advent is to remind us that the
joy of Christ’s birth is soon upon
us. We spend the season of
Advent “preparing” our hearts
and taking time to reflect on our
relationship with God.

Third Sunday of Advent
LIVING GOD’S WORD

This week’s act of service, there are three options
available:
1. Each family member takes the time during the week
to do one unexpected act of kindness for a stranger. For
example, help them carry heavy groceries down the
street or open a door for another person.
2. Each family member shares the gift of themselves to
the parish community by helping out with the cleaning,
decorating, or another task the parish needs completed.
3. As a family, share a discussion on ways you can bring
joy the world and choose one of those ways by living it
out in your community.

Thanks again Father Michel for your reflections on the season of advent.
