Apple Podcasts5A man after God’s own heart
United States4 months ago - Just found this in 2025
I wish I would have found this sooner because now I’m 5 years behind but I’m looking forward to catching up. Thanks to Rosary in a year I came to be familiar with Father Mark-Mary and led me to this podcast.
Apple Podcasts5b5koboUnited States6 months ago - Amazing!!
This is a wonderful spiritual podcast. I am so grateful to have found it. I was away from the faith for a significant time period, but today I returned to confession for the first time in nearly a year! It is no exaggeration that this podcast helped me find my home in the church again!
Apple Podcasts5Jrd1863United States6 months ago - Humble inspirational priests
I found this podcast after looking for one that is run by Franciscan priests. The reason I did this was because I had just attended my close friend’s brother’s wake (Emil) and he was a HUGE fan of the Franciscan friars in the Bronx. My friend’s brother was such a humble and thoughtful person that I knew I had to find out more about their causes. After listening to their podcasts, I know that they are very much like him. He was a man of God, humble, funny and inspirational. Highly recommend!
