St. Francis of Assisi, in hearing God say "rebuild my Church," began rebuilding himself in holiness... the people are the Church! The people are called to be rebuilt. St. Francis gave up worldly greatness to be great in the eyes of the Lord. He gave his whole self to God.

In this episode we discuss how the pursuit of holiness begins with our conversion; the loving, humble, response we make to God who has demonstrated his great love for us on the Cross. We also discuss how we live out this call to holiness in the face of many obstacles that work against us. Regardless of any circumstances, growth in holiness and perfection is a pursuit aimed towards heaven but a pursuit that will never end this side of heaven.
