Pope Leo XIII

Happy Easter to you from Living Echoes! I pray you had a spiritually productive Lent and a good Holy Week. My family and I spent Holy Saturday and Easter Sunday at St. Michael's Roman Catholic Church with Bishop Gabriel Tetherow, SVC. The Church was beautiful, the traditional liturgies were absolutely captivating, and we are extremely grateful to His Excellency and his congregation for being so accommodating of us and our last minute plans to travel to his Church for Easter.

Today, I wanted to bring to you sections 13-17 of "Chief Duties of Christian Citizens" by Pope Leo XIII. The encyclical audios are finished and can be listened to on the Living Echoes Podcast Channel here: https://audio.com/living-echoes/collections/chief-duties-of-christian-citizens-pope-leo-xiii
