TORONTO, NOV. 26, 2008 (Zenit.org).- ZENIT readers who met Father Thomas Rosica during the synod on the Word of God will now have the chance to reflect with him on Scripture as he launches a weekly column.
Father Rosica, chief executive officer of the Salt and Light television network, will launch today in ZENIT the first installment of "Words Made Flesh," a new weekly commentary on the Sunday liturgy, which will appear on Wednesdays and special feast days.
Father Rosica, a priest of the Congregation of St. Basil, was ordained in 1986. A dual citizen of the United States and Canada, he pursued graduate studies in theology and sacred Scripture at Regis College in the University of Toronto, the Pontifical Biblical Institute in Rome and the Ecole Biblique et Archéologique Française de Jérusalem.
From 1994-2000, he served as executive director and pastor of the Newman Center Catholic Mission at the University of Toronto. He has lectured on sacred Scripture at universities in Canada since 1990.
From 2000-2003, Father Rosica served as the national director and CEO of World Youth Day 2002 in Toronto. Since 2003, he has been the CEO of the Toronto-based Salt and Light Catholic Media Foundation and Television Network.
In August 2006, he was elected to the General Council of his religious congregation. He served as the English-language press attaché for the 2008 world Synod of Bishops.
