“The Liturgy is a school of the presence of God; and teaches us to stay in the presence of our God as He was manifested to us in the Incarnation! Call it rather a school of the presence of Jesus, and of love!“

Marty - if you mean downloading the mp3 from the button on the player, I am having the same problem right now, strangely. I think the problem must be with Libsyn, the hosting company whose player is embedded in our page. I am getting in touch with their support. In the meantime, you can play it using the player here on the page, subscribe to the podcast in a podcast app, or find this episode on our YouTube channel. I will write another comment here when/if I find a solution to the download issue

I have been downloading your talks for years. Now my computer tells me that this file cannot be downloaded securely. I do not have this problem on other sites. Has something changed on your side?
