This is my friend Fr. Augustine Measures, OSB, whom I met online over five years ago.
I stole this photo from his Facebook page. Isn’t he just perfectly awesome? I would say handsome, but I don’t want to embarrass him.
A Benedictine monk, Fr. Augustine lives in the U.K. and he has always had a special place in his heart for Catholic families. He calls me at home occasionally, and I am always charmed by this loving priest’s thoughtfulness and spiritual care for moms and their families.
One of the ways Fr. Augustine provides that spiritual care for families is through the daily recordings he makes of the readings and his homilies at Mass. Even at 83 years old, this retired priest is undaunted by technology. He makes digital recordings of his homilies and shares them with an email list daily.
He told me he knows many moms and others aren’t able to get to daily Mass and it makes him happy to provide this service for them. If you would like to receive these recordings daily via email, please .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) and ask to be put on his list. You will be glad you did!

You are very kind. Please pray that I will always preach HIS word not mine. The list is up to about 220 now and still seems to be growing. There must be thousands of moms homeschooling with small kids who would dearly love to get to daily Mass. Send them along and I will do my best to help. Love and prayers to you all from Augustine.
Thank you for this resource. It definitely got easier for me to attend daily mass as my children got older. With two children still left at home, and an uncertain future due to a recent medical diagnosis, I will look forward to making use of this resource.
