Catholic Spotlight

In this interview, Vinny Flynn talks about 7 Secrets of the Eucharist. He talks about his reasons for writing the book and the influence of the Divine Mercy teachings on his writing.  He shares some truths about the eucharist and expounds on the teachings of John Paul II.

I wrote the book to teach and inspire, and to help foster a Eucharistic revival, which I feel Pope John Paul II was calling for. So I’m very anxious to get the book into the hands of people who are in a position to teach and impact others: Priests, bishops, deacons; CCD/RCIA teachers; Youth/Young Adult ministers; Prison Chaplains; seminarians; Catholic school faculty; and anyone involved in Lifeteen.

Vinny is a musician and author with many appearances on EWTN.  You can find more info on Vinny and his work at www.mercysong.com.
