I really enjoy Fr. Leo Clifford’s series Reflections. They have them on the Faith page on their website, and every afternoon on TV. I often cry a little watching them, not ashamed to admit. They’re so short, but they pack in so much wisdom. A good reminder during tough times that God loves us to an extent we can’t understand. I first found the show when I became interested in the Church.
 
I believe that’s Deacon Harold Burke Sivers. Here he is on EWTN Live: youtube.com/watch?v=YRhTmOAh4pk
Yup…that’s him on EWTN live. Thanks for the link. I overlooked the fact that he is a Deacon. But I was impressed on his ability as a speaker. I love his comparison of how we are like the child who hears a melody in his mind but can’t play it. We remain frustrated because we don’t know how to express ourselves until we recover our freedom. And we do that by anchoring into God who in turn reveals the truth about who we are. We do this through our relationship with Jesus! Oh, how I yearn for more homilies like that…

thanks again…LukeSr

He’s on EWTN Radio quite a bit.

Tune In to the Holy Spirit,
Turn On to Jesus Christ,
Drop out of the culture of death…

You are very welcome. 🙂 He is indeed a very impressive and powerful speaker. We need more like him.

We are sooo Blessed to have so many wonderful Priest and Deacons as well as the other speakers on EWTN. I am sooo thankful to God for EWTN and Catholic Answers. They are sooo needed especially in our present times of crisis. God Bless them all, Prayers for them all. Memaw

Ditto this! 🙂

Concerning Father Leonard, I kind of root for him because he is from East L. A. , a place I’m very familiar with and enjoy visiting. His homilies are improving everyday. I don’t think it’s the message but the delivery that is a problem. Most people would be a little nervous not only having to deliver the homilies mostly with scarce notes but to millions via television and radio.

Father Wade and Father Mitch are great teachers although I believe Father Wade gets too caught up on lists
Unfortunately, Father Leonard’s delivery is not yet improving. His stammering “and-and-and” distracts me from his message. I find it hard to listen to Father Leonard for this reason. It seems that EWTN should work with him to help him improve his delivery. I would rather see Father Miguel more often.

Fathers Anthony, Joseph, and Mark are wonderful speakers. Their deliveries are very at ease and personal, as if they are speaking to a small group. Father Patrick seems to have developed this same smooth style quickly. His ad lib quip about the loud fire alarm was a good example.

On a different topic, it is impossible to miss Brother Leo’s twitching, which seems to be getting worse. Does anyone know what is wrong? I want to pray for him.

It’s a good thing Jesus wasn’t looking for perfection in St. Peter or he would never have been our first Pope. God Bless, Memaw
 
After over two years, Father Leonard Mary’s delivery of his homilies has not improved one bit. His nervousness and stammering distract from the lesson of his topic. He also stumbles a lot when he has to adlib before he closes Mass. He really is not suited to give Mass on camera. He is much more suited to promote God’s Word off camera, and I hope he is reassigned in such a capcity.

To bad we’re not all perfect. God Bless, Memaw
