Folks, I stumbled upon this great website called Maria Lectrix, specializing in collecting “public domain audiobook podcast – for people with catholic tastes.” I think this is great. I love the title, I love the graphic of Our Lady reading, and I love the concept, particularly since I am on the road so much and have lots of time to listen to audiobooks.
As you know, yesterday was St. Augustine’s Day and my fellow blogger listed the following audio Augustinian files for our education, formation, and inspiration. To quote the blogger:
- The City of God, a book about practically everything. Read at a brisk but quite comprehensible pace by a single reader, and totally unabridged. Very interesting, whether you like Roman mythology and folklore, politics, or theology. If Charlemagne thought it was fascinating, you’ll like it too! From our friends at Librivox.
- The Enchiridion, a treatise on Christian piety, faith, hope, and love. Also from Librivox.
- The Confessions, St. Augustine’s autobiography. Coming soon from Librivox.org, already available in part.
- From me, of course, Of the Catechizing of the Unlearned and On Christian Doctrine. Oh, and the contemporary Life of Augustine by personal friend St. Possidius.
- “The Petition of St. Augustine”, a really nice five-minute choral setting by Dr. Erik Reid Jones of something St. Augustine wrote about singing and perseverence in the Christian life. The MP3 link on the page covers the whole piece. The group singing is the choir the composer directs: The Master Singers of Virginia.
- “St. Augustine’s Pears” by that old Christian Rock band, Petra. Not bad.
- “I Dreamed I Saw St. Augustine” by Bob Dylan.
- Mike Aquilina on St. Augustine, on the Catholic Men’s Podcast.
- Fr. Z discusses St. Augustine’s sermon to newly baptized Christians.
- Fr. Kubicki on St. Augustine, at archive.org.
I hope that you enjoy your files and make Maria Lectrix a part of your regular Catholic blog surf!
