By Daniel Burke, EWTN News - St. Albert the Great was considered the “wonder and the miracle of his age” by his contemporaries. He was an assiduous Dominican whose accomplishments and gifts to the Church would be difficult to exaggerate... Born around 1206 and joining the Order of Preachers in 1223, Albert quickly became a master of almost every academic subject.

White, The Catholic Thing - “Communio lived in conversatio,” Bishop Daniel Flores, bishop of Brownsville, Texas, continues, “is already an expression of the Mission of the Church since we are called to be an anticipatory sign of the tribes, nations and tongues gathered around the heavenly throne of the Lamb who was slain.”...
