Susan Bailey, is a Catholic musician, blogger and online magazine publisher, and podcaster.   Her current projects are the Sung Rosary Project and the How Can I Keep From Singing podcast about how she can respond with faith and hope to times of personal adversity .   Last year, she shared an Advent themed song, ‘Wait for Me’ on December 10 and  ‘The Promised Son’ on December 30.

Last week, Susan gave a reflection interspersed with song at her parish entitled, ‘How Advent Saved My Christmas’.  Through the miracle magic of modern portable recording equipment and the information superhighway, we are able to hear that talk today.  It’s about 47 minutes, so grab a cup of coffee, put your feet up and enjoy.

We REALLY wanted to be at the Catholic New Media Celebration in San Antonio this weekend but it was just not possible for us to go this year. Instead We participated by watching the ustream, and participating on plurk and twitter. I interviewed a number of people both at the CNMC and those who could not make it. More detailed show notes will follow later.

Susan Bailey, is a  musician, blogger and online magazine publisher, and podcaster.   Her newest project is the Sung Rosary Project.   Today she sends her song:

The Promised Son ©Susan Bailey

A cold, dark night, a glistening star

Shining bright from afar

Upon the man whose wife would soon

Bear a child from her womb

In poverty, in a manger stall

No one came to help at all

The cold, dark night felt colder still

From hearts so hard, and lack of good will

And here was born the promised Son

Jesus Christ, the Holy One

The pain was great, her labor long

She wondered how she could be strong

Yet in her heart she felt no fear

For the child would soon appear

Onto the straw which made his bed

His mother laid His precious head

The fragile babe was heard to cry

She held Him closely to her side

7And here was born the promised Son

Jesus Christ, the Holy One

Glory to our God

For His Son has come down

Made the least of all

That the poor and just be found

The shepherds came there to adore

The tiny baby which she had bore

And three great kings did humbly kneel

Their wonder, they could not conceal

This tender child, the promised Son

Jesus Christ, the Holy One

Join us tomorrow for more reflections produced by great Catholic New Media personalities as we journey through the 12 Days of Christmas.

While taking things off the wall Greg peeled a paint chip. At the urging of the Ustream audience, he put the paint chip up on Ebay with the proceeds to go to Rosary Army. Bids were up to $50 before ebay cancelled the auction about 3 hours later. Fortunately Greg managed to get the auction re-instated as a charity auction for Rosary Army.

Also speaking of Saints, I got some feedback from Terry Jones at http://saints.sqpn.com.

20 Questions with Greg Keuter from the Divine Mercy Podcast and Promo.

Podcasts: Our Catholic Life Podcast.

Father Pope

The Mazucci family (James, Jody, Catherine, Emily and Andrew produce the wonderful  Our Catholic Life Podcast. Their podcast follows one of my favorite formats for many family podcasts: The parents discuss a bit of their daily life, the children have a segment where they talk about what’s happening in their world. Then they discuss a specific Catholic Topic.

On one of their recent episodes James talked about listening to the homilies of one of his favorite Podcasting priests, Father Pope. They played one of Father Pope‘s homilies and it was amazing. I’ve added him to my podcatcher as well.

Music:
Andrew Mazucci: Salve Regina

Their newest podcast focused on the Assumption of Mary and mentioned that James’ Mazucci’s birthday is Aug 15, the Feast of the Assumption of Mary.  (Happy Birthday James). My birthday falls on the Feast of St. Margaret of Scotland. Our home parish is St. Margarets so we usually have a parish dinner or social on my birthday.

Question of the Week: What saint’s day or celebration lands on your birthday?
