SUNDAY, NOV. 26

EWTN Bookmark

EWTN, 9:30 a.m.

Host Doug Keck and R. Thomas Richard discuss Richard’s book, The Interior Liturgy of the Our Father. Richard says, “The Our Father is probably the most poorly prayed of prayers, while in truth it is the most profound and beautiful of prayers. If someone offered you a map of the most direct route to the place you wanted to go, would you be interested? The simple and familiar prayer, the Our Father, shows us that route.”

A Charlie Brown Christmas

ABC, 8 p.m.

Lucy in the “Peanuts” comic strip once thought Christmas was about “the joy of getting.” In this beloved 1965 animated special, though, Lucy, Charlie Brown and their pals discover that Christmas is about the birth of Jesus, as Linus reads St. Luke 2:8-14. A bonus add-on this year: “Charlie Brown’s Christmas Tales.”
