Happy Fourth of July!

Today we are grateful to release a new complete Catholic audiobook:

World’s First Love
by Bishop Fulton J. Sheen

As our country celebrates Independence Day, we give thanks to God for the many graces He has poured upon America — including the witness, preaching, and teaching of Venerable Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen, who will be beatified this September in St. Louis.

This beautiful work is a profound reflection on the Blessed Virgin Mary, her place in God’s eternal plan, and her maternal love for the world.

May this audiobook help many souls draw closer to Our Lord through His Blessed Mother.

May God bless America.
