The Didache - Teaching of the Twelve Apostles | Catholic Culture Audiobooks
"Do not abandon the commandments of the Lord, but keep what you have received, without adding or subtracting."
The Didache is one of the most important sources from the age of the Apostolic Fathers; so instrumental, in fact, that some of the early Fathers considered it to be a part of the New Testament.
Effectively the oldest extant written catechism, it provides both moral and liturgical instruction, including the oldest recorded Eucharistic prayers.
In a time characterized by ambiguity and evasiveness, the simplicity with which the Didache puts forward its teaching is itself an instruction.

Love this, very important to see how the earliest Christians lived out their faith. So much of the modern church has lost sight of this.
I absolutely love this! I've listened to it twice now and have made a vow to listen to it every day, in hopes of learning it, almost, word for word. Thank you, my Lord and my God, for directing me to this. Thank you so much for bringing this to me by posting it

Wow! Praise God! So glad it made an impact!
Oh come Lord Jesus...
Daily listen is a great idea - I've listened to 2 other recordings - great teaching for people who want to grow closer to God
Wonderful! Now I am off to the so called Second letter of St Clement. I am looking to purchase a hard copy of the Anti-Nicene fathers. Are there any translations that you guys would recommend?

There aren't a lot of single editions of all the ante-Nicene Fathers. There are a few editions of all the Apostolic Fathers - Catholic University of America Press has one for instance. I have a nicer looking edition from a Protestant publisher which includes the Greek. In general, you can look at the show notes for our Way of the Fathers episodes about a given Father for links to editions of his writings.

@@CatholicCulturePod Thanks!
I've been listening to this everyday, as I said I would. Can anyone shed some light on this one line for me?? The part in which he speaks of the end times......"1st, confusion in Heaven." What does that mean?? What are they indicating is to happen in 'Heaven'...happen with those of God?? what does that 'sign' supposedly look like.

Maybe it refers to the skies/cosmos, rather than to Paradise.

Worst Mormon here, hearing this, might put some orthodox ethos up in the current mix, just for Fr Peter Heers has wisdom I as well relish. 🙏🏻
Sounds like the Apostolic Church was... (Gulp) Completely Catholic from start to finish.
