Great way to go deeper

The commentaries help you catch what you miss or never knew was there in all the great books of the Catholic Faith. It has barely begun, but I’ve already learned so much! Listening, reading, contemplating, re-listening. Thank you guys! May God Richly bless you all now, and in eternity!
