“Fr James Martin is an apostate and heretic. To listen to his voice is to hear the voice of the enemy of God. Pray for him so that he may be turned to truth and his soul may be saved. Listener beware, your eternal soul is at risk by listening. He’ll awaits if James does not repent and become right...”Read full review »

“This would be a five star review but we notice there hasn’t been a new reflection in three years. The intro and the advertisement at the end have changed—some new reflections would be nice to hear as well.”

“Fr Martin’s Examen starts my day. I reflect on where God presented in my day. My family, fellow men and women, and nature top my list. I feel God-focused instead of self-focused as a result of using this podcast. I am grateful for Fr Matin and American Catholic Media.
God Bless,
Dave F.”

“I am having a problem with receiving the entire meditation this week. Yesterday, the podcast would not go beyond minute 8. Today it quit right after the daily reflection. I hope that this can be corrected. It’s a wonderful way to end, or occasionally start, my day.”
