    Very informative

    The program was just what I wanted – a thorough introduction to the great spiritual mystics of the Catholic faith. I thought Fr. Ciorra’s delivery was great in that it felt like we were sitting together and he was explaining the material to me. I really enjoyed listening to this program.
