Ponderings of the Heart

In honor of our Blessed Lady, one of the best things we can do is ponder the events of our lives in our hearts to see how God is working, even in the most subtle of ways. This podcast is intended to share with you my pondering in union with Our Lady through weekly homilies, group reflections, and maybe even some bonuses along the way. Know of my prayers for you, and please pray for me!
