Catholic Saints

Join Dr. John Sehorn and Dr. Elizabeth Klein to learn about Saint Bernard de Clairvaux. Cousins, brothers, and even his own father joined him in the monastery where he lived a life of prayer and austerity. This monastic reformer and mystic have much to teach us about how to love God and, perhaps surprisingly, how to love ourselves.

Saint Maximilian Kolbe's life mirrors that of Christ, as he chose to suffer and die so that another might live, even while enduring constant affliction in the Auschwitz concentration camp. Those who witnessed Saint Maximilian's heroic act recalled how he transformed a prison camp into a cathedral through his unceasing praise of God. Hear Taylor Kemp and special guest Anthony D'Ambrosio discuss Saint Maximilian Kolbe and his witness of living a meaningful life by embracing the cross of Christian life.

In an age when religious life was closed to women who were considered older, to those with limited means, and to those with less than good health, there was a need for an order that would welcome such overlooked souls. Widowed at the age of 29, Saint Jane Frances de Chantal founded the Order of the Visitation along with her friend and spiritual director, Saint Francis de Sales. Celebrated today on August 12 in the United States, her feast day was originally on August 21, but whichever day you choose to listen, join Dr. Christopher Blum and Dr. Elizabeth Klein to learn about the life and legacy of this mother of six and brilliant administrator.
