New Year with the Fathers (St. Pope Leo the Great, Sermons 25 and 35) | Ep. 55
Episode 55
CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOM
In this episode, we close out 2025 and enter 2026 with Christmas and Epiphany sermons from St. Pope Leo the Great, delivered on Christmas Day 444, and January 6, 445 respectively. May these reflections from a Saint, Church Father, Doctor of the Church, and Pope challenge and edify you as we enter what seems likely to be a turbulent year.
