Saint Ambrose Lot of 4 Christianity Spiritual Audiobooks in 4 MP3 Audio CDs Saint Ambrose(c. 340 - 397) Aurelius Ambrosius, better known in English as Saint Ambrose (c. 340 – 4 April 397), was an archbishop of Milan who became one of the most influential ecclesiastical figures of the 4th century. He was one of the four original doctors of the Church. He is patron saint of Milan. Concerning Virgins Read by Euthymius Running Time:2:29:09 in 1 MP3 Audio CD Concerning Virgins (De Virginibus) is a series of letters, compiled into three “books,” St. Ambrose wrote to his sister, Manellia, These, perhaps Ambrose's earliest writings, were written in 377 CE. Written in a rather light-handed non-technical style they appear as ethical guides to women who are contemplating entering nunneries. More importantly, they set the tone for Ambrose's later writing on ethics. Concerning Virgins was referred to by other patristic writers including St. Jerome, St Augustine and Cassian, and are now included in the extra-biblical cannon of the early church fathers. On the Death of Satyrus and On the Belief in the Resurrection Read by InTheDesert Running Time:02:48:59 in 1 MP3 Audio CD Two related addresses occasioned by the unexpected death of Ambrose's brother Satyrus: On the Death of a Brother (De excessu fratris Satyri) and On the Belief in the Resurrection. On the Duties of the Clergy Read by Euthymius Running Time:8:42:55 in 1 MP3 Audio CD Composed about A.D. 391., this treatise of St. Ambrose may as well be called "Concerning Christian Virtues" as it practically offers to the reader a whole bouquet of Christian virtues. St. Ambrose, esteeming very highly the dignity of the ministerial office, was most desirous that the clergy of his diocese should live worthily of their high vocation, and be good and profitable examples to the people. The language of the book is eloquent, the style noble, the thought abundant in both imagery and rhetoric, and the philosophical and moral contents - pithy, fragrant and heart-commanding. On Virginity (De Virginitate) Read by Geremia Running Time:01:52:11 in 1 MP3 Audio CD One favorite topic of his was the excellence of virginity, and so successful was he in persuading maidens to adopt the religious profession that many a mother refused to permit her daughters to listen to his words. The saint was forced to refute the charge that he was depopulating the empire, by quaintly appealing to the young men as to whether any of them experienced any difficulty in finding wives. He contends, and the experience of ages sustains his contention (De Virg., vii) that the population increases in direct proportion to the esteem in which virginity is held.
