A great homiletic resource! Thanks St. Paul Center for Biblical Studies! I use it everyday!

This is by far the best daily mass reflection! Thank you for all the explanations and teachings on the daily Gospel reading. It really helps me have better understanding of both Old & New Testaments and strengths my faith. It is such a blessing that St. Paul Center can provide us this Podcast daily. Thank you to all the theologians and professors at St. Paul center for your great work 🙏🏼

We always enjoyed hearing a woman’s voice here. I know priests who enjoyed Joan’s explanation. What did you do with her?

One of the best explanation of Holy Scriptures, if you follow daily Mass and Holy Communion, how Jesus still instructs us with amazing Educated Teachers of Sacred Scriptures 🙏🏻🙏🏻🕊️♥️

This podcast is the best commentary out there on the daily readings. Thank you for all of the work you put into this and getting it to us!

Keep up the great work. You are being great evangelists, helping us all dive deeper into the scriptures.

Finally, a Catholic theologian, other than Scott Hahn, who isn’t scared silly of the difficult passages of the Old Testament. The majority of Catholic priests religiously avoid preaching anything about the Old Testament or the Psalms because those readings don’t fit neatly into the trite “just be nice to everyone” sermon. Today’s episode really could be said to be a reading of the Old Testament based on the revelations of the New Testament. Well done.

Listening to these reflections each day has enriched my understanding of scripture. There is a lot of clarity provided, which I feel is difficult to find in our culture. I also appreciate the fact that historical, biblical roots are discussed. My spirit rejoices! Thanks be to God!

Thank you to Fr. Harold for the most inspiring and enlightening episode I have heard in the years since subscribing! What an amazing feat of tying today’s literature and entertainment with our faith.

This podcast has enriched my understanding of scripture and my love for the Lord grows as words are defined, and the old and new testaments connections are explained. Each presenter’s unique and personal approach adds depth and varied insight to the daily readings

This podcast really helps me delve into the daily readings and grow in biblical understanding and spiritual wisdom. The St Paul Center’s productions are top notch quality and provide enriching content consistently. I have incorporated it into my morning prayer each day. Thank you to all who make this possible. To God be the glory.

This podcast has helped me go deeper into the daily readings! I am grateful for these teachings!

I listen weekly to Joan Watson.

Love listening every week, especially to Dr. Owens!!!

Always wonderful, helpful, insightful…please continue. Sometimes Tuesday does not appear/show up.

Thank you so much for stating that Matthew wrote the Gospel of Matthew! I think all of you are wonderful and I trust you all! God bless you all

These are great reflections. Orthodox, insightful and scholarly exegesis, and spiritually enriching.

I feel as if I’ve grown so much in my faith from listening to the wonderful speakers from the Saint Paul center who share their knowledge and faith with all of us. But I also learned biblical history and culture, things I never knew that make the Scriptures come alive and make more sense. So I thank you and will be praying for you all. Please keep up the wonderful work you are doing.

This podcast is getting me through my day. Thank you for constantly teaching and preaching God’s word and His love for all.

I have been reading the daily mass readings for a while. This show adds so much to my understanding. The speakers give such beautiful spirit-filled wisdom. Thank you!!

Simple, real and beautiful.

Love this podcast

There are no Tuesday episodes. I miss them.

These reviews/explanations of the daily readings are OUTSTANDING. I particularly appreciate Dr John Bergsma. Special thanks to Dr Hahn and his St Paul Center.

I love the details shared. I learn so much about the scriptures and much of “the rest of the story “

So much to rave about. The knowledge of the presenters is amazing and I learn so much every day. The breakdown of the scriptures with references to the Greek and Hebrew roots is wonderful. My one critique would relate to when the episodes are released for listening, especially the Tuesday reflections. It is Tuesday the 4th as I write this review and the reflection is not yet available (10 am Central Time). If you could fix that one thing, I would give you 5 stars!

This podcast is beautiful! It helps me to open my Bible everyday. Going deep is what I long for. It helps me with my struggles and suffering. Thank you!!!

Saint Jerome insisted that ignorance of scripture is ignorance of Christ. As someone who attended the Episcopal Church as a child and then converted to Catholicism in the 70s as a 21 year old, St. Jerome’s words were an accurate description of me. Several years ago I began reading scripture daily, and then I began attending daily mass regularly. However even using a study Bible, I still had “holes” in my understanding of scripture especially the Old Testament books and the Psalms. That is until I found the St. Paul Center with Dr. Hahn, Dr. Bergsma, and company. I am forever grateful to this group who has guided me and continues to guide me on my spiritual journey through the various forms of programming and books they have authored.

The main thing I would share about this podcast is that it is one of the deeper looks at the daily Mass readings. I have listened to other insights on the daily readings but none have been this deep in theology and the Catholic faith.

I love Letter’s from Home, so much so that I wonder if there is something wrong with my App. At first it was as daily that I got content. But every now and then it is missing. I got no contents for today, Tuesday November 30, Feast of Saint Andrew. I had no content last Thursday, or last Monday. And some missing the week before. I thought this was a daily podcast, but I am not getting it daily anymore. Can anyone explain this. Other then tgat, content I get is 5 Star content.

May God bless you and all who listen, our families, and all you do even more!

I listen everyday and am edified and challenged! What a great lineup of scholars!

This has been tremendously helpful. Can they be provided earlier like the day before? It would be amazing. Thank you for what you do.

Thank you once again for these helpful reflections.

It’s so nice to have a podcast that helps you dive into the daily readings or deeply in office reflections to pray about. One piece of, I hope, constructive criticism is that the intros are just too long for a daily podcast like this.

A true desire to be in union with The Lord/ABBA Father

My day is not complete until I listen to “Letters from Home!” I get so much out of these reflections. Thank you St. Paul Center!

Everyday I get to hear a biblical scholar comment on the daily scriptures. I’m always left with something to ponder and it stays with me the whole day. Thank you.

Given the exigencies of daily Mass for busy people our priests generally limit their homilies to five minutes. These reflections expand the appreciation of the Mass readings for those of us who are less busy and prepared to receive more. Thanks to the St Paul Center for this apostolate.

Letters From Home podcast is wonderfully done. It is like having a mini bible study right after you read the daily scripture readings. The presenters are scholarly but absolutely personally relatable. Thank you St Paul Center.

Deep scholarship combined with true adherence to the Catholic faith.

This is a great, daily way to deepen your understanding of the Gospel.

Great material! Thank you for your work. Just a heads up, the audio cuts for moments in the last three days.

I love listening to these reflections before going to daily Mass. I’ve learned so much.

Thank you for all your wonderful reflections!

🙏🏼🕊🙏🏼

I’m beyond happy to have found this podcast on the daily mass reflections. It’s wonderful and I’m thankful to Dr. Bergsma and all involved at the St. Paul Center for doing starting this as it is so very much needed so we can all understand what scripture is teaching us at Mass. Thank you. God bless you for all that you are doing.

I love this podcast. Always something that touches the heart and reaches deeper into my soul. Expands my knowledge of scripture and always theologically solid. Very grateful!

I love getting more historical and theological context for the daily readings! I don’t know if this podcast changed recently; I want to say it used to be that episodes just came out for the Sunday readings... but I hope they keep it up daily! They are all good, but my favorites are when Dr. Bergsma does the episode!

Love having this resource every day!
