For St. Patrick’s Day a beautiful song sung by Angelina, “The Deer’s Cry,” an arrangement of St. Patrick’s Breastplate.

You can find two talks on St. Michael in the Free Catholic Mp3 Directory. Michael of the Morning is a recording of a letter from a United States Marine.   He fought in the Korean War and tells of an apparition of St. Michael and how the Archangel saved his life.  Another interesting talk is St. Michael and the Angels. St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle!  

I have added two talks on St. Joseph.   The Holiness of Saint Joseph, much of this talk was taken from the book The Life and Glories of Saint Joseph.  Also St. Joseph, the Man Chosen by God.   St. Joseph, pray for us!

Here is a short Pro-Life Valentine’s message by Dr. John Willke, MD.

Chaplet Of St. Colette

Blessed be the hour
in which our Lord Jesus Christ,
God and Man was born.
Blessed be the Holy Spirit
by whom he was conceived.
Blessed be the glorious Virgin Mary
of whom the Incarnate Word was born.
May the Lord hear our prayers
through the intercession
of the glorious Virgin Mary
and in memory
of that most sacred hour
in which the Incarnate Word was born,
that all our desires may be accomplished
for your glory and our salvation.
O good Jesus!
O Jesus our Redeemer,
do not abandon us as our sins deserve,
but hear our humble prayer
and grant what we ask
through the intercession
of the most blessed Virgin Mary
and for the glory of your Holy Name.
Amen.

As God pleases,
As God wills. (repeat ten times)

Let us praise the Father in his mercy
and the Son by his passion
and the Holy Spirit
the fountain of peace and sweetness and love.
Amen, amen without recall!

(You may choose to precede the Chaplet with a reading from scripture or I may take one of the Lord’s self revealing proclamations)

I am the Way.
I am the Truth.
I am the Life.
I am the Resurrection.
I am the Good Shepherd.
I am the Gate of the Sheepfold.
I am the Light of the world.
I am the Alpha and the Omega.
I am the First and the last.
I Live.

There are a lot of Catholic podcasts lately on Mother Teresa. Teresa Tomeo’s Catholic Connection as mentioned in my previous post, has in the second hour of 8/24/2007 , guest Ralph Martin who talks about Mother Teresa, who passed away ten years ago this September 5th. Ralph and Teresa discuss how it is possible a person like Mother Teresa could feel such an absence of God in her life. In the first hour of Catholic Connection’s 8/28/2007 episode Teresa talks about the new book coming out on Mother Teresa, which includes her struggle with the dark night of the soul. They play an interview with William Donahue of the Catholic League conducted on CNN Headline News.

Meditations From Carmel is a very short weekly inspirational podcast featuring the writings of the Carmelite Saints broadcasting now for just over a year. Most of the meditations range in length between 1.5 to 5 minutes. Each podcast includes a photograph and text of each meditation which can be downloaded and printed.

The podcast is produced by members in the Order of Carmelite Discalced Secular (OCDS), a Secular Community in St. Louis, MO. The community hopes to bring the message of contemplative and mystical prayer to a wider Christian audience. They are in search of Catholic Broadcasters who may want to use the meditations in their daily programming as prayerful interludes between their shows. Their first volume of works which they have been posting each week contain the works of Saints Teresa of Avila and Therese of Lisieux. You will also find inspirational messages by another Saint of Carmel, Teresa of the Andes. At the beginning of this year they started airing Volume II of the meditations which feature St. John of the Cross, Blessed Elizabeth of the Trinity and Brother Lawrence of the Resurrection. Also, Volume III will introduce Pere Jacques Bunel. Here is an article on the podcast from the St. Louis Review Newspaper. To subscribe to this podcast click on their podcast link or you can listen online. They also have an archive of Mp3s.

The SaintCast, a Catholic podcast of all things Saint-like by Dr. Paul Camarata. Episode #61 includes an interview with Jeff Miller of the Catholic blog “The Curt Jester.” Other topics include four new saints, a St. Jeopardy quiz, and a database for Saint movies.
