Why bother with adoration, Father James Borek is next.

Hello and welcome to Focus the Catholic Answers Podcast for living, understanding, and

defending your Catholic faith on Psychella at your host.

And right in the heart of Baltimore is America's oldest cathedral.

Oh well, we'll explain, there's some technicalities about that.

But let's say America's oldest cathedral, the cathedral of the assumption of the Blessed

Virgin Mary.

And it's got a new pastor, he's been there for a few years and his mission is to revitalize

that parish, to make it a living parish, not just a shrine, but a living parish right

there in the heart of Baltimore.

At the heart of what Father James Borek is doing as the rector of the cathedral is a program

of increased adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, to build the spiritual life of the parish

and also to do good, to bring good, to unleash the goodness of that relationship with Jesus

in individuals' lives and in a cosmic sense even.

the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary?
