As Christians, we seek to live the way of the Lord Jesus, but that’s easier said than done. Sanctify Them in Truth by Fr. Jeffrey Kirby, STD is an approachable, easy-to-listen guide on eight of our most pressing social issues.

What do you really know about Vatican City? The Vatican, comprising the Apostolic Palace, St. Peter’s Basilica, and various other buildings, serves as the headquarters of the Catholic Church.

In the history of the Church, there are few saints who wrote with such angelic purity and devotion on the subject of angels as Saint Aloysius Gonzaga. Much has been written on this Jesuit novice who died at the young age of 23 while caring for plague victims, but little has been available on his actual writings—that is, until now. For the first time in English, Meditations on the Holy Angels, Saint Aloysius Gonzaga’s longest and most significant work is offered to listeners.

Lenaburg desperately wanted to be part of a girl tribe in middle school. She wanted to belong, to have friends—to be seen. So the unathletic, gangly sixth-grader tried out for the cheerleading squad. She didn’t have fancy clothes like the other girls, and she noticed that everyone else had “a chest”. So Lenaburg stuffed a pair of her brother’s sweat socks into her bra. You can probably guess the rest: One sock fell out when she started a tumbling routine.

This audiobook is the first volume of a series of straight-talking inspirational sermons by George DeFrehn. Book One explores the four Gospels. George has no canonical authority and carries no hidden agenda. These sermons are simply one person’s search for the truth of life, utilizing the word of God—the Bible. These thought-provoking sermons are one lay person’s version of the words and parables used by the itinerant preacher from Galilee, hopefully in an unvarnished version. George writes for all people, denominations, faiths, believers, and nonbelievers alike.

At times we may find ourselves in this desert, feeling lonely, without purpose, seeking love, not knowing what to do, or where do go. It may feel like you were lost out at sea, and it will take a million years to walk on shore. Once you step foot on shore, not only does it feel good to be stepping on land, but you look at the experience, the journey you were on, with a purpose, with a new meaning of life, with a journey fulfilled with something greater: knowing that God never abandoned you and has walked with you the entire journey.

Por momentos podemos encontrarnos en este desierto, sintiéndonos solos, sin propósito, buscando amor, sin saber qué hacer, o a dónde ir.

A sabiendas de que Dios nunca te ha abandonado y ha caminado contigo durante todo el viaje.
