The efforts of Eucharistic ministers and those who visit and minister to the homebound mostly go unseen, but they are incredibly important. 

I realized that these volunteers are unsung heroes when I was recovering from my first c-section and couldn’t get out of bed yet. A Eucharistic minister brought Holy Communion to my hospital bedside, and my parish priest visited to bring the Eucharist on my first day back at home. 

Their efforts brought me peace and happiness during a rough recovery. I’ll never forget how much it meant to me to receive the Eucharist while I couldn’t get out of the house (or hospital) to get to Mass.

I thought back to this experience recently when I found out that a number of priests record their daily or weekly Mass homilies on podcasts for public listening. These online homilies would have been so helpful to listen to while I was homebound recovering from surgery.

If you or someone you love is homebound, ill, or recovering from surgery, you might like to know about them too. And of course, you don’t have to be homebound to listen and benefit. 

These homily podcasts are great listening for anyone needing some spiritual encouragement and insight, whether in or out of the home!
