  <description>This Lent, Archbishop Lucas encourages us to "disconnect and reconnect"—disconnect from the perpetual outrage machine created by our current media and political climate, and reconnect to the Prince of Peace through His Body, the Church.
"Disconnect" doesn't mean to bury our heads in the sand, but rather sifting more vigorously what media we consume and why, and what time we make for silence, for prayer, for others. "Reconnect" is an invitation to move closer (literally!) to those things that really give us life.
A production of the Archdiocese of Omaha
Hosts: Most Rev. George J. Lucas &amp;amp; David Hazen

  <itunes:subtitle>As Catholics, we not only have the right to bring the light of the Gospel into the public square, but an obligation to do so. The Nebraska Catholic Conference represents the Church in matters of public policy pertaining to four key areas of concern: human life and dignity, education, marriage and family life, and social and human development. </itunes:subtitle>

  <description>"Because Jesus has sent us into the world to bring the light of the Gospel and to let it shine everywhere, the three bishops of Nebraska feel a responsibility to not only participate in the internal affairs of the church, but also to share the truth with our neighbors across this state," says Archbishop Lucas. "One of the ways in which we do that very effectively is through the work of the Nebraska Catholic Conference."
