Introducing "Preach: The Catholic Homilies Podcast"
Monday, June 19, 2023 • Duration 29:40
We have an exciting new podcast from America Media to share with you. It’s called “Preach: The Catholic Homilies Podcast.”
On each episode listeners will first hear an inspiring homily, especially delivered for the podcast, and then take a privileged peek into the heart and mind of the preacher in a conversation with the host, Jesuit priest and America’s associate editor, Ricardo da Silva, S.J.
Whether you’re a preacher looking for inspiration or a Catholic in the pews, who believes like Pope Francis, that Catholic homilies could use some work, I hope you’ll check out the Preach podcast!
To give you a taste of the show, we’re sharing this week’s episode of Preach, featuring America’s editor in chief, Sam Sawyer, S.J.

Imagine S4.E8. - Paul's dramatic encounter with Jesus changed him–and the world
Season 4 · Episode 8
Sunday, May 1, 2022 • Duration 25:32
The conversion of Paul–from persecutor of Christians to missionary disciple–is one of the most dramatic in the Christian tradition. In this episode of Imagine, we’ll reflect on the story as told in the Acts of the Apostles. In the years following Jesus' death and resurrection, Saul of Tarsus was actively working to persecute the early church. He asked for permission from the High Priest to go to Damascus to arrest and persecute the Christians there. While on the journey, a bright light shone around him and he heard the voice of Jesus. This experience left him blind until a disciple of Jesus found him in Damascus, restored his sight, and baptized him. Known thenceforth as "Paul", his story reminds us that no matter our past, Jesus calls us to join him in spreading the Good News of God’s love and mercy.

Imagine is proud to share the latest podcast in the America Media family: Hark! The stories behind our favorite Christmas carols.
Subscribe to the entire Hark! podcast series online, on apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.
O Come, All Ye Faithful is a rousing, controversial and some might even say, miraculous Christmas carol! And it’s believed to have a subversive Jacobite rallying call hidden in the text. To peal back the layers of history in this song, Host Maggi Van Dorn is joined by Rev. Andrew Cameron-Mowat S.J., a Jesuit priest at St. Ignatius, Stamford Hill (London), and an accomplished organist and music director. We also hear from Dr. Kim Harris, Assistant Professor of African-American Thought and Practice at Loyola Marymount University, along with a former Choir of King’s College organ scholar, Parker Ramsey.
Special thanks to the Choir of King’s College, Cambridge and the Ignatian Schola
for allowing us to play parts of their recordings of Adeste Fideles/O Come, All Ye Faithful.
