2/5/24 - Canon Ross Bourgeois, ICKSP

Canon Ross Bourgeois, ICKSP serves as Parochial Vicar at Most Precious Blood of Jesus Parish in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Canon Bourgeois was ordained in 2019.     In Today's Show: If you had to give a regular Catholic layman a concrete spiritual daily routine that would give them the greatest chance of living a life for God, staying away from mortal sin and ultimately dying in friendship with God, while also taking into account their busy schedule, what would you prescribe them? Also, which sacramentals would you prescribe them? Is it immoral to use artificial intelligence to create media such as films and other forms of art? My parish has an LED candle for the sanctuary candle. I was horrified when I first noticed this. Do you have any thoughts on this? Guidance on the carnivore diet during Lent How did you decide to pursue a vocation with the ICKSP? Where and how did you first discover the order? How do I know if my prayer routine is adequate? I have an Evangelical friend who converted some fallen-away Catholics. Is it better that they are somewhat closer to Jesus by becoming Evangelical rather than wallowing in sin, or should they remain Catholic but non-practicing? What are the benefits of praying for the Poor Souls in a graveyard? Does that have any effect? As someone who is looking at becoming a Catholic, can I receive the ashes on Ash Wednesday? What is the meaning of Matthew 5:22-24? How do we get more young people to Mass?   Visit the show page at thestationofthecross.com/askapriest to listen live, check out the weekly lineup, listen to podcasts of past episodes, watch live video, find show resources, sign up for our mailing list of upcoming shows, and submit your question for Father!
