Sunday: Windy and warm in Miami. I am here for a mission at St. Richard's church in Palmetto Bay (South Miami.) Nice flight in on Friday, but the traffic was outrageous! I preached the Saturday vigil Mass. Met many people! I have five Masses this weekend (4 today) then Mon-Wed. 8 am Mass and 7 pm services. I was here 29 years ago, my first year of priesthood, for a mission. Lots has happened since then!
My programs on TBN and Daystar have a new studio! I hope you liked the new look. Thanks for your support. God is on your side! Have a blessed Sunday...

On Dec. 26th I decided to cut all sugar out of my diet. It's been hard, but so far, I've lost 7 pounds. I feel great. Any resolutions you have?
Saturday morning I drove (1/2 hour) to St. Laurence Church and gave a prayer breakfast talk about Surrendering to God who loves us. The talk was for the staff of 150! who minister there. I met so many great people who are making a difference. The talk went super and they bought a lot of my books.
My new book: Your Best Lent Ever! is here and looks great. Will be an amazing read for all who want it. We are presently sending out a letter about the book. In a few weeks (By the end of Jan.) I will post the book on the Website for purchase. I want the letters to go out first.
I finished writing my 8 scripts for my filming Feb. 8/9 here in Houston. I wrote one about Romans 8: I call it "More than a Conqueror." Another: The Holy Spirit our Peace. (#7 of 8) Lastly, #8 about emotional sufferings people go through: esp. depression. This series that I am just wrote will be filmed Feb 8/9 and will be broadcast after Easter. I call it: The Pearl of Great Price. Another, new series "Born to Win!" will be debuting Sunday, Jan. 19th with a newer studio. You will love the look!
I will be resuming my writing on my book about addictions/recovery this week. Title: There is a Solution. See my 4 episode series on addictions/recovery (Series 590 There is a Solution)
I will be flying to Miami for a mission on Friday the 17th. I'll be in Palmetto Bay South of Miami at St. Richard's/Our Lady of the Rosary. First parish mission of the decade! I discovered I preached a mission in December of 1991! (My first year as a priest) So, this is a return trip 29 years later...
It's official! The executives at EWTN have approved my new series "The Hour of the Crucified" for air. Debut Advent 2020.! (Every first Friday of the month.) I will be airing a Lenten mission and other series before these programs will air!
This is the Limpias crucifix in our retreat center chapels. What is different about these crucifixes are that Jesus' side has not been pierced. His eyes are still open because he is still alive and suffering. His sufferings are caught in time and eternity so that we can lay our burdens and guilt down at the foot of his cross. On Fridays especially we remember Jesus' sufferings for us. May his Passion be always in our hearts!
Sundays at 1 pm ET and 10 am PT. Also: TBN 7 am ET.
My precious "Pen Pals" write those who are incarcerated to encourage and inspire them. It is Jesus who is our inspiration: "I was in prison and you visited me" (Mt. 25:37). If you would like to participate in this wonderful writing ministry: Email Nancy Firmin at: nancy@frcedric.org
