Episode 43: St. Ambrose of Milan

by

In this episode of A Few Moments with God, we continue our May series, exploring saints who deepened devotion to the Virgin Mary throughout Church history. Today, we dive into the life of St. Ambrose of Milan—a bishop who never sought power but became one of Christianity’s most influential defenders of the faith.

From his unexpected election to his firm stand against heresy, Ambrose’s courage shaped both the Church and political landscape of his time. Join me as we uncover his journey—from reluctant leader to theological powerhouse—and reflect on how his example can inspire us in our own lives.
