What do we know about Jesus and Mary? For starters, what the evangelists recorded in the gospels. Throughout Church history, mystics have received visions of the life of Jesus and Mary and recorded them as biographies.

  • Length of the book seems intimidating, but podcast makes it accessible

    Thank you so much Fr. Looney for providing this podcast! I cannot imagine reading this book all the way through myself. It would be so easy to get discouraged by its length (and in places, by its complexity or challenges). Having it broken into 15-20 minute segments, along with commentary and reflections, made it something I could look forward to progressing through.

  • I love all of the Mystical City of God. It is my 2nd time to go through all 4 books. I did not have this podcast the first time back in 2019-20. The commentaries are really helpful.

  • I cannot contain my excitement. I have listened to all 4 volumes of the Mystical City of God. For the 1st volume I listened to a free 20 hour audio recording of the book in 7 or 8 days. Before the end of the week, I ordered all 4 paperback books. I read the next 3 books with a highlighter in my hand and have gone back to read several parts over and over again. I told a dear faith friend about the Mystical City of God yesterday. She found your podcast. I cannot wait to listen to the recordings.
