TASTE AND SEE

A few years ago, I had an opportunity to take in a lot of movies.  Many good-hearted friends recommended their favorites to me.  That’s when I discovered how divergent movie preferences are!  What is a favorite for one person, can cause someone else to walk out of the movie.  Someone can have their heart warmed by a show and the same show can be boring to another.    

That being said, I want to recommend a TV series to you.  We have been waiting, not so patiently, for the start of the Second Season of The Chosen, and it is finally here!  It is fabulous and just as wonderful as its first season.  I highly recommend it to you.

To get started, plan on enjoying the first two episodes in one sitting so you can get to know the characters.  After that, you will pretty much know most of the regulars.    

We have watched several episodes of Season Two this summer.  Show after show, it does not disappoint.

If you are like me, the Gospel stories are well known to you.  However, as I have watched The Chosen, my appreciation for the mercy of Jesus, the depth of love Mary had for her son, the fiery personality of Simon Peter (my personal favorite actor played by Shahar Isaac), the humor of Philip, and all the miracle stores have met me in a deeper place than I have experienced.   This mini-series about a small band of people has lifted my spirit to seek in a new way for the One who knows me and calls me by name.  

I have many movies, TV series/shows, and books that I would encourage you to relish however The Chosen is in a class of its own! How about giving it a try?

And for a short time, the first four episodes of Season One are free if you sign up for The Chosen App.  How wonderful is that!

Finally, two articles from Bishop Barron’s Word on Fire Blog about the show.  The first article relates to Season One and the second article speaks about Season Two.

Thanks for reading (and watching).
