I will start with the Divine Mercy Chaplet, then provide a quick reflection on the Sunday readings, and then answer audience questions in the comment section of the video.
Since many of us have the same questions, you’re sure to learn a thing or two from watching the replay.

Fr. George Elliott is a priest who had a vision, a vision which became a reality, a reality which became Catholic Bytes and today is now Catholic-Link. As such, he is our Founding Father, quite literally. His favorite topics of conversation are: the early Church, evangelization and which cartoon character captures your personality the best.
Though from North East Texas, and a priest for the Diocese of Tyler, Fr. Elliott has traveled the globe, obtaining a few degrees and mastering many languages on the way. He earned a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy with a minor in Classical Languages from St. Charles Borromeo Seminary, an STB from the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross in Rome, and a License in Patristic Theology and Sciences from the Patristic Institute Augustinianum.
So, basically, he does all the things, not to mention making sure the Catholic-Link team is growing professionally and spiritually every single day.
