The God Minute is a short, daily Christian prayer that includes peaceful music, scripture and a reflection to bless your day with the Lord. It's only 10 minutes. Take a few God Minutes each morning and see how your day rises in abundance. A Catholic devotional by the Congregation of the Mission - the Vincentians.
The God Minute podcast is truly a gem in the realm of spiritual podcasts. From the moment you press play, you are transported into a world of peace, reflection, and inspiration. The hosts, Father Ron and Father Michael, have created a space where listeners can start their day off right with a 10-minute dose of prayer, scripture, music, and thoughtful reflections. It is evident that a lot of love and care goes into each episode.
One of the best aspects of The God Minute podcast is its ability to touch on various topics that resonate deeply with listeners. Whether it's discussing personal struggles and how to find solace in God or sharing stories of faith and resilience, there is always something relatable for everyone. The hosts have a talent for weaving together scripture readings, insightful reflections, and beautiful music to create a truly immersive experience. Additionally, the episodes often feature guest speakers who bring unique perspectives and add diversity to the content.
The worst aspect of this podcast is that each episode is only 10 minutes long. While this can be seen as a positive for those who prefer shorter podcasts, it can sometimes leave listeners wishing for more. The brevity of each episode means that certain topics may not be explored as deeply as one might hope. However, this could also be seen as an advantage for those who are looking for quick but meaningful moments of reflection in their busy lives.
In conclusion, The God Minute podcast is a must-listen for anyone seeking daily spiritual nourishment and guidance. Its concise format makes it easily accessible for people with busy schedules, while still providing powerful messages that resonate long after the episode ends. Whether you're looking for inspiration or simply want to deepen your connection with God on a daily basis, this podcast will not disappoint. Give it a listen and let The God Minute become part of your spiritual journey.

CLICK HERE FOR VIDEO to this reflectionOur Gospel is LUKE 12: 35-40Be dressed ready for service and keep your lamps burning, like servants waiting for their master to return from a wedding banquet, so that when he comes and knocks they can immediately open the door for him. It will be good for those servants whose master finds them watching when he comes. Truly I tell you, he will dress himself to serve, will have them recline at the table and will come and wait on them. It will be good for those servants whose master finds them ready, even if he comes in the middle of the night or toward daybreak. But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into. You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.”
