This year, in the course of interviewing various people for Sangreal, I first became aware of the prophetic dreams of St. John Bosco, a 19th century Italian saint who was famous for working with homeless youth and founding the Salesian Society religious order. One of his dreams that seems especially relevant today, in our time of great confusion and chaos, is the dream of the two pillars, from May of 1862. This dream has been brought up in several of the interviews I did for Sangreal, and so I thought it would be fitting to read the complete dream so you can hear it for yourselves.

Fr. Dwight Longenecker was brought up in an Evangelical home in Pennsylvania. After graduating from the fundamentalist Bob Jones University with a degree in Speech and English, he went to study theology at Oxford University. Eventually Fr. Longenecker was ordained as an Anglican priest and served as a curate, a school chaplain in Cambridge and a country parson on the Isle of Wight.

Realizing that the Anglican Church and he were on divergent paths, in 1995 Fr. Longenecker and his family were received into the Catholic Church. For ten years they continued to live in England where he worked as a freelance writer and charity worker. Then in 2006 the door opened for him to return to the USA and be ordained as a Catholic priest.

For this episode of Sangreal, Fr. Robert Morey of St. Anthony Catholic Church in Florence, South Carolina was kind enough to speak on what he feels people to need to hear about the Eucharist these days, a personal encounter story he’s had with the Eucharist, and what has been the most surprising thing he’s learned on his Eucharistic journey.
