Here is ADVENTCAzT 10, for Tuesday in the 2nd Week of Advent.

Today we hear part of a radio broadcast made my Joseph Ratzinger in 1980.  He is speaking on St. Nicholas Day, which is past, but "light" is the point, not St. Nick.  Also, we hear a poem of Gerard Manley Hopkins, The Candle Inside.  You'll hear the connection.

This podcast vexed me at every turn.  There was one pointless interruption after another, some noise banging or idiot spam phone call.  I suddenly had microphone problems, which explains the differing sound in beginning and end.  The editing software fought me.  Etc. It is as is someone didn't want it made.  Since it has a poem of Hopkins it was either the Devil or a Jesuit.  Therefore I hope it has double my desired impact.
