So we CAN be holy.. but is there people we can look to for an example? Look no further than the communion of saints, or as we discover, it is the 'saint next door'. They reflect on the recent beatification of the 'millienial saint' Blessed Carlo Acutis and realise that saints maybe are wearing tennis shoes and playing video games, just like anyone else!

We start an exciting 3 episode series with a new sister in Christ as a special guest! We share our thoughts on some of the myths we have about holiness and reflect on how all of us are called to holiness. We munch on the wisdom of Gaudete Et Exultate and realise that the answer to "Can I be Holy?" is a resounding YES!

We celebrate CCC's anniversary today as we look back at the holy men and women that we draw strength from. Blessed All Saints Day to you from all of us at CCC. Nicole and Greg catch up on what the series means to them and how our personal encounters with saints paves the way for a uniquely personal call to holiness as we transition into a new series (with many surprises and a new guest!) Stay tuned as the new series drops next week and #makeholinessgreatagain!

We round off our series on Everyday Holiness with St Thomas Aquinas! Lester reminds us of the wisdom of this saint and how truly God is well and truly present in our midst.

Ever felt far from the idea of holiness? Clarence reminds us of the story and legacy of St Augustine, one of the doctors of the church whose conversion story reminds us that "every saint has a past and every sinner has a future".

It has been just one week since the Feast Day of St Therese of Lisieux and we still bask in her wisdom of littleness! Greg invites us to ponder on the little flower of Jesus and how the little way she espouses is one that surely leads us to heaven.

"Be who you were meant to be and you will set the world on fire!" - Nicole reflects on the gutzy St Catherine and her gifts to the Church. You may recall that she convinced the Pope to return to Rome (no small feat for a woman at that time!) and gifted us with much wisdom through her writings. Let us pray to St Catherine for similar zeal to proclaim His message to all we meet and to serve Him selflessly.

We begin an exciting series on our favourite saints and explore what it means to live an everyday holiness. Chris reflects on the wisdom of St Ignatius and how we can like the Suscipe, surrender our very lives to Him.

What does it mean to take a year off to travel the world? Nicole catches up with Katie as she shares the adventure she went on and how reconnecting with God's creation allowed her to refocus her relationship with Him.

What do succulents have to do with the spiritual life? Steph and Nicole catch up over old times in this week's episode and explore how much we can learn from growing plants about our own spiritual growth.
