PODCAzT 47: Augustine on how to pray; how to treat newcomers at the older Mass

Today St. Augustine (+430) talks to us about how to prayer, especially in light of the Our Father.  We take an excerpt from his letter 130 to an elderly Roman widow, Proba, who was refugee in North Africa after Alaric the Goth sacked Rome in 411. 

Also, I make some remarks about how to treat newcomers at celebrations of the older form of Mass.  Since Summorum Pontificum is now in force, people who haven’t been to the older Mass will be getting first impressions.  Let’s make sure they are good impressions.

I also have some voicemail from a listener who phoned in.  This message is about the older form of Mass at a couple Catholic colleges in the USA.  Very positive!
