About this sermon
It's no secret we live in a screen-saturated world. Studies show Americans spend an average of 4 hours and 30 minutes every day on their phones. With so much attachment to our devices we can forget to look up, see the wonder of the world and connect with God. Fr. Christopher Seith with the Archdiocese of Washington and author of the book "Rekindling Wonder... Touching Heaven in a Screen Saturated World," joins to talk about his own experience and growing up without a cell phone. The stats on cell phone use are really quite shocking. Fr. Seith discusses what he thinks this says about us and the kind of prison we are in. Fr. Seith went on a digital fast while he was a seminarian. He shares how that experience was and whether this is something he would recommend as a best Lenten practice. He speaks about "rekindling wonder" and describes what happens when we lose our sense of wonder. Fr. Seith fills us in on what the remedy is here, along with putting down our cell phones.
