    Spiritual Father of a Generation


    St. Philip Neri came from humble, unremarkable beginnings. And yet his preaching inspired countless others to follow God. Contributor Sefanit Stefanos tells us about his littleness, and how God used that littleness to inspire great things

  • S4 Ep 7: St. John Bosco

    Glorifying God in Loving Service

     

    Many times, we misunderstand the virtue of humility. As she tells us about St. John Bosco, who rooted his catechesis on first loving those he taught, Krista Hanrahan frames humility as total dependence on God in all things.

She coaches Catholic women on various topics, including faith, personal health and wellness, marriage, motherhood, and home management.

  • S4 Ep 6: St. Ephraim the Syrian

    Humble Hymn Writer

     

    St. Ephraim the Syrian used his gifts to the best of his ability, writing hymns to defend the faith against heresies of the day, ministering to the poor, and speaking with simple humility. Today's guest podcaster, Sissel Anderson, teaches us how this saint exemplifies the humility of the Little Way.


    Sissel Anderson is a 25-year-old convert in North Texas. Just a year and a half after coming home to the Catholic Church, she dove headfirst into Catholic media by interning at the local Catholic Radio station during college, operated by the Guadalupe Radio Network. Six years later, she is now the North Texas Assistant at the network and produces and hosts local programs, including one for young people (or the young at heart!) for which she has a desire to reach out to more.


    A collector of hobbies and volunteer positions, she is never without something to do, whether it be helping lead her parish's young adult group to mastering the perfect Old Fashion. While she has ideas and dreams for the future, she enjoys taking each day at a time to see where God is calling her at that moment.

  • S4 Ep 4: St. Teresa of the Andes

    A Model For Suffering and Love

     

    St. Teresa de los Andes, or Teresa of the Andes, is a saint who knew many sufferings during the course of her short life, offering everything for love of her Divine Spouse. Contributor Citlalin “Tati” Ossio dives deeper into the life of this remarkable saint who spent herself in love.

    The Only Female Saint to Be Named ‘The Great’


    St. Gertrude placed the Lord into all that she did, just like St. Therese of Lisieux. The mundane tasks of life turned sweet when she invited Him into them.
