Companions of Jesus
Starting 7 Mar 2022
It is at the Incarnation that the companionship of Wisdom for humanity appears most strikingly. Jesus Christ – Wisdom Incarnate – no longer calls us servants but friends, for he has made known to us all he has received from the Father (cf. John 15:15). Jesus longs to share all he has with us and to be our consolation in our cares and sorrows (cf. LEW 59).
Come discover the true and holy joy of Wisdom’s friendship everywhere, in everything and in the everyday as Companions of Jesus.

Also on audiobook is Nostra Aetate, the ever relevant Vatican II document on our relationship with other religions. Both available on Audible, and wherever great books are heard! Soon also on Spotify and Apple Music.
