I've covered numerous stigmatists in my few years hosting this podcast: St. Francis, Padre Pio, Gemma Galgani... however, none are as unique as the Stigmata of Irving Houle.

Irving was a grandfather and former plant manager out of Michigan. A totally normal guy, until ... he received the wounds of Christ in the stigmata.

Unlike other stigmatists, Irving was called to a healing ministry, which may have cemented his future canonization.

We continue our video series on Catholic Mysticism, as we discuss how did the mystics pray? If Christ was God, why did he pray?

How does the church define prayer? And how does the church insist we pray?

Learn this and more in our breakdown of Catholic Mysticism!

For over two decades, a story has circulated claiming that a rosary prevented a murder from Ted Bundy. However, what is the historical evidence of this claim? Did it really happen?

Also, what are the spiritual fruits of this story? Or are there more spiritual harm?

Did you know that St. Bernard of Clairvaux is one of the reasons we celebrate Christmas as a time of celebration, rather than penance? He also gives us a beautiful reflection on Advent called the Three Advents of Christ.

I also hope you check out my two other episodes on St. Bernard from earlier in 2024.
