Kate from Holy Innocents parish in the UK was kind enough to point me to Fr. Cantalamessa's talks - thanks much!

It's help like this which lets me continue to post even when I'm short on time. Since I expect to be short on time quite a bit in the near future, I'd encourage any and all of you who find free MP3s in your browsing to shoot me a quick e-mail and share them with the rest of the class.

In any case, do enjoy!
