Part 01

Monsignor Ignacio Barreiro discusses the development and fiery preaching career of the great seventeenth century Capuchin friar, Marco D'Aviano. 

Part 02

In this second lecture on Marco d'Aviano, Monsignor Ignacio Barreiro speaks of the Capuchin's work in inspiring Austria to resist the Moslems at the time of the great Ottoman siege of Vienna in 1683. Besides being a man who gave "soul" to the defense against external enemies, Fr. Marco also worked mightily to bring peace among all Christian rulers.
