discovered by accident and what a treasure I have found. the readings are taken directly from the Church father's, a different one each week although some appear more than once, Origen for example. Each is just the right length about 20 minutes or so and are a beautiful aid for prayer and contemplation. keep up the great work father! and thank you.
