Love Unlimited - Cornelius & the Business of a Universal Church
Some view the Catholic Church as multi-national corporation. If so, its DBA should be love unlimited. In contrast to ever natural love, the love that should categorize the life of the church is charity, agape, God's love which is, like God, universal, infinite, without limits or boundaries. This is illustrated by the story of the centurion Cornelius, a reading for the 6th Sunday of Easter B.

Why the Trinity Matters
The Trinity is the central dogma of the Catholic faith and is equally important to Orthodox and most Protestant Christians. Yet it is a mystery, something that we as limited human beings can never understand. So does that mean we can just believe it but basically forget about it and focus on more practical things, like morality?
Not at all, says Marcellino D'Ambrosio (Dr. Italy) on this episode of the SonRise Morning show. If we fail to make progress in understanding the Trinity, we will never understand ourselves or understand what love is all about. In this age in which marriages and families are falling apart, we need more than ever to understanding Trinity since this mystery of loving unity is the key to recovering unity, love and stability in our families.

When The Church Was Young
Were this fascinating book read by a “few more people,” Protestantism would be decimated. What an appreciation D’Ambrosio gave me for the first several centuries of the Church’s history!
For those raising families in today’s society, you MUST listen to this!
Dr Italy is a terrific storyteller and presents some very profound truths in such practical and easy-to-understand concepts. I really enjoyed learning while listening to his words! I hope to take what I have l learned from his teachings and apply them in every aspect of my life!
