Listen "The Life of Saint Albert the Great"
Episode Synopsis
Journey into the mind and soul of Saint Albert the Great (Albertus Magnus) — the towering Dominican scholar who bridged faith and reason, science and mysticism, and teacher and saint.Born to a noble German family around 1200, Albert’s insatiable curiosity led him from the classrooms of Padua to the universities of Paris, where he mastered every science known to man — physics, botany, astronomy, theology, and philosophy. But beneath his brilliance burned a deeper flame: the love of God.You’ll hear vivid scenes of his youth and vocation — his mystical vision of the Virgin Mary, his humble entry into the Dominican Order, his mentorship of Saint Thomas Aquinas, and his authorship of the spiritual masterpiece On Union with God. Through detailed storytelling and devotion, you’ll see how Albert united the soul of a mystic with the mind of a scientist — proving that to study creation is to adore its Creator.
