Dead Friend Saints

Here is an episode about Saint Veronica.  Even though we know almost NOTHING for sure about this lady, she is one of our greatest examples of how to be close to the suffering heart of Jesus when it would have been so much easier (and safer) to walk away. Here's to this legend  who held down that 6th station of the cross for us.

I was honored and elated to have Elie and Andy on this week's episode of Dead Friend! In this absolute DELIGHT of a collaboration, Andy, Elie and I talk about the conversional power in a compelling character-arch... even those found in a children's cartoon! We parallel the life and conversion of Saint Augustine with the story line of the early 2000's masterpiece, The Emperor's New Groove. Guys, It was so fun to record with them!

Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque. What a babe. Because of her faithfulness to the Lord, we benefit from a better understanding of His Sacred Heart! Amazing.

Today's episode features one of the Church's absolute POWERHOUSES of the priestly life. Saint John Vianney demonstrates for us the power in relying on the Lord in every need and in perseverance in a life of holiness. I am so thankful to my wise and hilarious friend Max for being a guest on this podcast and for speaking about one of his patrons.

Please pray for Max and all other seminarians!

Venerable Samuel Mazzuchelli and his dedication to spreading the Gospel is one of the most inspiring things I've heard about in a long time. Big thanks to Wil Kratt for being on this episode to teach us all about this amazing man!

Please pray for Wil and all other seminarians preparing for the priesthood.

Saint Agatha is one of the Church's OG virgin martyrs. She suffered horrific torture with such joy and is now usually depicted in all of her glory holding her amputated breasts on a platter like "NO BIG DEAL".  Sheesh.

I am so inspired and moved by the Pierre Toussaint's story. This guy really understood what it meant to be kind and generous without counting the cost in a time where he was not viewed as an equal. He was born into slavery but preached freedom throughout his whole life.
Venerable Pierre Toussaint, Pray for us!

Very wonderful and wintery vibe on this guy. I desperately want to see Venerable Bishop Baraga become a saint in my lifetime so lets get those intercessory prayers go'n!

A shout out to my own dear Archbishop, Archbishop Hebda for suggesting this Dead Friend and for his own faithful leadership of his flock.

Today's episode covers King David and features my good buddy John-Joe. I am so thankful for his willingness to join us all the way from Scotland, and I thoroughly enjoyed reflecting on the story of one of the most iconic men in the old testament!

Saint Vitalis was seriously such kind and consoling dude. Can't wait to meet him in heaven. Thanks for being on the pod, Stephen!
