Cannonball - Explosive Talk On The Saints

Have you ever been at mass and heard a long list of Saints during the Eucharistic prayer? Many of them are familiar, like Mary, Joseph, and the Apostles… some of them might not be, like Linus, Cletus, Clement, Sixtus, Cornelius, Cyprian, Laurence, Chrysogonus, John and Paul, Cosmas and Damian… and then after the consecration, there is another long list… who are all these people? And why do they get special mention in the Eucharistic Prayer? In this episode, I explore the Saints of Eucharistic Prayer I, aka the Roman Canon.

On January 31st, 2024, the feast of St. John Bosco, I had the opportunity to present a talk to Our Lady of Loreto Catholic Church in Foxfield CO in the Archdiocese of Denver: "Eucharistic Inspiration: Miracles and Saints". Here is a portion of the evening on Eucharistic Saints. For content on Eucharistic Miracles, see Episode 8 of the Cannonball Podcast.  That was a great night. We laughed, we learned, there was juggling, audience participation, a random volunteer who happens to play for the CO Rockies… all of the hits. Best of all, plenty of Eucharistic Inspiration. I would love to bring this presentation to a church or conference near you. Visit cannonballpodcast.com or patreon.com/bradfarmer to contact me for booking information.

Have people actually lifted off the ground in prayer? Is this a real thing or artistic embellishment? Brad Farmer ponders the historical reality and how it applies to real life.
