World-renowned biblical scholar Rev Professor Francis Moloney SDB AM will be headlining the brand-new podcast Audio Divina, recently launched on Ash Wednesday to mark the beginning of Lent.

New episodes will be released each Wednesday of the week, featuring a Lectio-Divina styled reflection on the coming Sunday’s Gospel, as provided by Fr Moloney.

Audio Divina is being produced by the Salesians of Don Bosco media centre in Australia.

Fr Moloney said he planned to use the audio platform to help bring the sacred texts alive through a medium that could be easily accessible to all ages in the modern world.

“The aim for the podcast is to follow each Evangelist’s account of the story of

Jesus, week by week, so that we can develop within us the thirst that marks all sincere Christians to walk the way Jesus walked,” Fr Moloney added.

The Audio Divina podcast will eventually cover every Sunday reading over years A, B and C of the liturgical calendar, offering a beneficial resource to those who are studying or simply hunger for the gift that comes from listening and understanding the Word of God.

The podcast will be available on iTunes, Facebook and from the Salesian website.
