In today's episode of Let's Talk About This, Father looks at the world of reading, and the world that doesn't read. Do we lose more than we realize when we turn away from the written word and towards other mediums? Why has reading become a sign of status? Father finishes with Weekend Readiness to prepare you for the upcoming Sunday Mass.
