About Ora - the podcast of Madonna House Publications
ORA (pray) as you listen to the joys and struggles of living the Gospel of Jesus Christ in day-to-day life.
Recorded articles have been selected from Restoration, the newspaper of the Madonna House Apostolate, the Catholic community founded in 1947 by Servant of God Catherine Doherty. The print edition of Restoration has been in continuous publication for over 75 years with ecclesiastical approval from the diocese of Pembroke.
The articles are drawn from the day-to-day life of our Madonna House Christian community. We don’t preach at you. We simply share with you our joys and struggles in trying to live the Gospel of Jesus Christ without compromise in today’s world.

By Catherine Doherty, excerpted from the book, "Soul of my Soul"
Restoration is the newspaper of Madonna House. Its goal, in Catherine Doherty’s (founder) words, is to “foster the love of God, love for his Church, and the realization that man, if he continues to live without God in this mad and tragic world, will perish.”
We strive to achieve this goal with a colorful, down-to-earth array of reflections on the Gospel challenges of today, stories, Church teachings, spiritual reflections, personal witness and community news. Restoration is drawn from the day-to-day life of our Christian community. We don’t preach at you. We simply share with you our joys and struggles in trying to live the Gospel of Jesus Christ without compromise in today’s world.
The book "Soul of My Soul" is available here:
