Escuchar! Radio OCD online!

The Order of Discalced Carmelites in Rome have announced the following concordance via the Carmelite seminary in Guatamala.  For all the Spanish speakers out there it will certainly be wonderful.  We found, however, the Carmelites are also offering an online OCD radio and a Podcast from the Cafe Carmelitano.  Having listened to the radio for only a short time proved to be delightful.

We thank you from our hearts, Your Holiness!
