My Kids Discover Father Stan Fortuna

When Fr. Benedict Groeschel died on the eve of the Feast of St.Francis there was a renewed interest in our home about his life and work.  Having watched his EWTN program on various occasions, he was
familiar to our kids as well. One of the many names attached to Fr. Groeschel when we were reading up on him is the Ven. Solanus Casey (of whom I will blog about later), Fr. Andrew Apostoli and the rapping priest Fr. Stan Fortuna.  This very idea of a rapping priest amused the kids so we looked up some of his works.  I personally prefer his more jazzy music (What Joy from the Renewal album).  I have yet to warm up to the rap, sorry Father! Also, I think he sounds better live than on record.

While going through youtube we found this gem of Father's beautiful vocation testimony. I will do no justice in describing this.  Let me just say that my kids were riveted. They have not heard anyone so on fire, so joyful and so funny talk about God and His love in this manner.  And he is a singing, rapping priest to boot! I will say no more because you just have to watch ;-)
