AMDG: A Jesuit Podcast
How to Give Thanks in a Tough Time with Fr. Michael Rossmann, SJ

Many of us won't be traveling or seeing loved ones for Thanksgiving this year. So host Mike Jordan Laskey called up his old college roommate to connect from afar: Fr. Michael Rossmann, SJ. They discussed finding spiritual nourishment during the pandemic and how the Eucharist, which means "thanksgiving," can help heal divisions even when we can’t all get to Mass.
Fr. Rossmann is a vocation promoter for the Midwest Jesuits. He joined the Jesuits in 2007, just after graduating from the University of Notre Dame. Fr. Rossmann taught in Tanzania for two years and has graduate degrees from Loyola University Chicago and Boston College. He is passionate about evangelization and has been active in the use of new media, starting the "One-Minute Homily" and previously serving as the editor-in-chief of The Jesuit Post. He continues to post a one-minute video on social media each week. His goal in life is to get people to spell his last name with two n’s.
