10 Minutes a Day

Ten Minutes a Day is a daily podcast reading the social encyclicals of the Catholic Church. Many people want to work their way through these important documents but struggle to find the time. This podcast offers a simple solution: ten minutes a day of uninterrupted audio recording straight from the texts themselves. The project began with Dilexi Te but since Pope Leo XIV is trying to carry on the tradition of Pope Leo XIII, we go back and start at the beginning to the tradition starting with Rerum Novarum, the show moves through the Church’s social teaching one document at a time. These encyclicals—from popes such as Pope Leo XIII, Pope Pius XI, Pope John XXIII, Pope John Paul II, Pope Benedict XVI, and Pope Francis—form the heart of what is known as Catholic social teaching, a tradition that seeks to guide society toward what many have called a civilization of love. Just ten minutes a day.
