Saint Friends

Hey, friends! Today we are finding out how a good person - a future Saint - can still make a pretty big mistake for a long time and still turn out good in the end. Our Saint Friend today is that person and he was caught up in one of the biggest arguments in Church history that didn't result in a few hundred new denominations being formed. So let's jump into Church politics with our new friend: Saint Vincent Ferrer.

Hey, friends! Today we are learning all out a woman who was hesitant to live a holy life because she was already living a comfortable life.

Hey, friends! Today's episode focuses on one of the most inspiring examples of a Saint imaginable.

She's definitely one of my all-time favorite Saints so let's learn how the Lord desires us to be alongside our new friend: Saint Josephine Bakhita.
