    Absolutely love this Podcast and Message. Fr. Mike has brought me back to the Church and has strengthened my Faith. I have one small ask … could you go back to the way it was without the Episode # at the beginning of each week’s episode? I am sometimes a few weeks back and listen on devices with smaller screens making it hard to locate the Week to align with where I am in my readings, since this portion of the title takes up the space.

    Thank you Father Mike for your enthusiasm and your faith. I enjoy listening to you and you always find a way to make me laugh! Your DJ Khaled reference was so subtle, I hope I am not the only one who caught that! Keep it up!
