This is a recording of a talk I gave during the first session of an Advent Retreat in Daily Living, which I am currently offering at the University of St. Thomas School of Law.  During this talk I introduce the retreat, explaining how a retreat in daily living operates, and talk about the prophets of Advent, focusing on Isaiah.

This podcast, titled Mary, Mother of God, is the third in a planned series of six podcasts drawn from an 8-day guided retreat I gave in June 2007, on the theme of Embracing Mary. It uses Luke's account of the Visitation as an entre into a consideration of what calling Mary the Mother of God says about Jesusa and about Mary. (The podcast runs for 17:58.)

This is a recording of a short talk I gave on Catherine of Siena at the final gathering of participants in the Fall Retreat in Daily Living I just finished presenting at the University of St. Thomas School of Law on the theme of Praying With the Mystics.  The podcast runs for 16:15.

This podcast is the third in the series, Reclaiming Who I Am, drawn from a retreat I gave at St. Ignatius Retreat House from Feb. 28-March 2, 2008.

This is a recording of the introductory talk I gave on John of the Cross today at the gathering of participants in the Fall Retreat in Daily Living I'm currently giving at the University of St. Thomas School of Law on the theme of Praying With the Mystics.  The podcast runs for 12:40.

This is a recording of the talk I gave on Julian of Norwich at the weekly meeting of our Fall Retreat in Daily Living earlier today.  (The recording runs for 19 minutes.) 

This was my first effort at using a new digital recorder as I was making a presentation and I probably had the microphone too close, so the sound is a little tinny.  At some point, I'll replace this with a newly recorded version of the talk.

This podcast, titled Mary, First Disciple , is the second in a planned series of six podcasts drawn from an 8-day guided retreat I gave in June 2007, on the theme of Embracing Mary. It considers Mary’s actions at the wedding feast as Cana as an entry into a consideration of Mary as a model of discipleship. (The podcast runs for 14:01.)

Martha's Faith is based on a post-communion reflection I gave at St. Ignatius Retreat House in Manhasset, New York, on July 29, 2008, the feast of St. Martha.  The podcast length is 7:45.

This is the second podcast in the series, Reclaming Who I Am.  As its title suggests, it explores myths about ourselves that women are particularly susceptible to.

This podcast is the first in a series drawn from a retreat I gave at St. Ignatius Retreat House in February 2008 titled: Reclaiming Who I Am.  It addresses the myths we live with that inhibit our ability to see ourselves as God sees us and thus to be fully open to his love.

Mary’s Yes is the first in a planned series of six podcasts (at least I think there will be six) drawn from an 8-day guided retreat I gave in June 2007, on the theme of Embracing Mary. This podcast runs for 16:57. 

(The voice in the introduction is that of my daughter, who did the technical work required for the recording and editing of this podcast.)
