We are at war. This has become clear in various subtle or not-so-subtle ways. For example, as a nation, we are battling for our lives via out-of-control health crises. We are also battling for personal integrity, and this battle for the perfection of human temperance comes into focus during Holy Week.

In this episode, EvangeliNation returns to the airwaves in 2023 with a look at the theology of Blessed James Alberione, holy priest and founder of the Pauline Family of religious and secular institutes of consecrated life. 

Alberione's theological thought forms the foundation of the whole life of a Pauline, and indeed, I would say of every Christian. Join me today as we begin to drink in the deep reflections of this insightful man's intellectual, spiritual, and moral life through a reading of his collection of notes called Abundantes divitiae gratiae suae, "the abundant riches of His grace."
