Fr. Jerome Cudden, O.P. preaches on the last of the Solas of Reformation Theology, Soli Deo Gloria to the Glory of God Alone.

He takes us through the scriptures that honor the lives of prophets and saints and how their examples of virtue are really an example of God's power at changing our human lives for His glory. Listen and learn at the conclusion how we can bring the understanding of these five solas together to do the work in reuniting Christ's Church.
