The Daily Challenge of Christian Life

from Ave Maria in the Afternoon Segments · host Dr. Marcus Peter

Today’s Office of the Readings includes an excerpt from Thomas à Kempis’ Imitation of Christ.

The Christian life depends on waking up every day and seeking the grace of God to sustain us in fidelity. Marcus has more. This is a public episode.
