Special Introductory Episode - Meet The Creator Of "Missionary To Mars"

Unlike the audio-drama format making up all the following episodes, we begin with something different, for us at least.Thanks to the realm of technology we feature an interview of the Missionary to Mars series creator by the fictional Spiritual Director of the story, Father Ambrose Pierce.And while we normally do not do talking heads on purpose, it seems appropriate to take a step back and answer some fundamental questions about the project itself. Why do an audio drama?Why is it set on Mars?How can listeners participate themselves in prayerful exercises as story characters go through the paces themselves?If the following important statement loses your interest, it does so intentionally so get ready:THIS IS NOT A SCIENCE FICTION STORY DRAMA. IT IS HOWEVER A MODERN PARABLE MEANT TO REVEAL THE KINGDOM OF GOD TO A MODERN AUDIENCE.Certainly, some statements or answers may need clarification and we welcome episode feedback. This is the start of a brand new enterprise and it is felt better to actually get product to air than to tinker with constant editing and improvements.We thank you for your grace, your patience and encouraging participation.P.S. A quick note--Some may wonder why the broadcast story and targeted audience is Roman Catholic. Does that mean no one else should listen or can benefit from what you hear?Everyone can either learn or confirm what they already know, to grow in a greater appreciation of what it means to deepen a current existence's meaning through the interactive form of prayer with our Creator.Be you atheist or any other religion, God desires communion with all of His children. That said, there are close to two billion Roman Catholics on the planet this year and despite solid affirmation by the Vatican, Catechism and the writings of the Desert Fathers or Saints, this kind of prayer formation seems lacking in volume despite strong evidence that parishes desire it.Thank you and God richly bless you.Graham
