Fr. Dan Riley, ofm, records audio reflections or podcasts to share his thoughts with you.
We invite you to enter this journey as you have the time. Listen to reflections while on a run or driving. While sitting peacefully in your home. Share with others. Listen with a group.
Fr. Dan has recorded these podcasts from the Mountain to the shores of California; from the Finger Lakes to New Mexico; from Las Vegas to Florida.
Our podcasts have evolved since 2011 through the use of music with Cyprian Consiglio and John Michael Talbot, sound quality and themes. We expect this ministry to continue to mature and ripen in the coming years.
We invite you to be persistent with your prayer life as possible and we hope these reflections help you on your journey!
The date noted is when the podcast was recorded.
