Cardinal Newman Audio Library 4+

The professionally read homilies of Blessed Cardinal Newman serve a critical role in anchoring people to an interior life of prayer and patience. These are daily food for the soul. Only complaint is that in Volume 1, sermons 12-14 do not load. I’ve listened to all of the sermons at least once and most 2-3 times. While written as an Anglican, the late Catholic theologian and fellow convert), Fr. Louis Bouyer, C.O, stated that Newman’s views developed fully as a Catholic, “were in their nascent state in Parochial and Plain Sermons”. This is well worth the small price for over 72 hours of audio in the full version. Amazing value and deeply enriching for all Christians and especially for Catholics.

I am so happy to have these sermons available. I have listened to about 4 of them so far, and they were all narrated quite well. Three of the four sermons were by the same individual - a man with a slight English accent, very refined and speaking at the just the right modulation and tone for my taste. A quiet, thoughtful-sounding speaker and very appropriate for these sermons. I am not inclined to pay for very many apps, but this resource was just too good to pass by. It was extremely helpful to have the ability to sample several of the sermons before purchasing the entire library.

Due to work and family commitments, I haven't often found time to read my collection of Newman's sermons, but with this app, I can find time to listen to at least one sermon a day. My only complaint is that the app won't allow one to listen to a sermon without a wi-fi connection, even after paying for to full version.
