EWTN, Global Catholic Television Network
The Daily Catholic Mass podcast has been an incredible resource for individuals like me who are unable to attend Mass in person on a regular basis. The convenience of being able to stream the Mass when I have missed it allows me to stay connected and not miss out on any important elements of the service, even when I am away from home. I am grateful for this podcast and appreciate the effort put into ensuring that people can access the Mass whenever they need it.
One of the best aspects of The Daily Catholic Mass podcast is the inclusion of Father Leonard as a homilist. His ability to clearly convey God's message to his people, especially Catholics, is truly remarkable. Whenever Father Leonard gives a homily, I can feel the impact of his words and understand what God is asking of me in my own life. It would be wonderful if he could give more homilies as his insights are valuable for spiritual growth. Additionally, I must commend EWTN for their dedication to providing useful online features that aid in holiness and faith formation.
However, one issue I have encountered with The Daily Catholic Mass podcast is the lack of recent postings. The last posted Mass was on October 18th, leaving listeners wondering if there has been a termination or interruption in the podcast's availability. It would be beneficial for EWTN to update their listeners on any changes or delays in posting new episodes, as many rely on this podcast as their primary source of virtual attendance at Mass.
Furthermore, there seems to have been a recent addition of a Spanish interpreter during the Mass recordings. While this may be helpful for some listeners, particularly those who are hard of hearing or prefer translations, it can create difficulties for older individuals who have trouble distinguishing between two speakers at once. It would be ideal if there were options available for different language preferences or separate recordings with each language clearly audible.
In conclusion, despite some issues with recent postings and multiple speakers during recordings, The Daily Catholic Mass podcast remains a true blessing for those who utilize it. The ability to access the Mass at any time and the impactful homilies of Father Leonard make this podcast an invaluable resource for spiritual growth and connection to Holy Mother Church. I want to express my gratitude to the priests and lay staff who work tirelessly to present these podcasts, as their efforts are truly appreciated by listeners like myself.
