Today we learn about St. Ambrose, one of the greatest bishops and teachers in the history of the Church. He guided the people of Milan with courage, helped convert St. Augustine, defended the divinity of Christ, and became one of the four great Doctors of the Western Church. His wisdom, his strength, and his deep love for God shaped Christianity for centuries.
In this episode, Saul shares 7 cool facts about St. Ambrose. You will learn how he was chosen as bishop before he was even baptized, how he gave away his wealth to care for the poor, and how he became a spiritual father to St. Augustine. You will also hear about his boldness in correcting emperors, his defense of the faith during the Arian crisis, the miracle of bees that marked his childhood, and his lasting contributions to Christian worship and sacred music.
