The Prince of the Apostles. The First Pope. The Rock upon which Jesus would build His church. Saint Peter is mentioned a whopping 187 times in the New Testament. From the moment he first encountered Jesus the Nazarene while fishing on the Sea of Galilee, until the moment he was crucified upside down, Peter was a faithful follower of the Lord; but that's not to say he was without fault. So many of the most powerful moments and lessons from the Bible involve Peter. He was a bold, brash, and stubborn disciple who we have much to be thankful for, and to learn from. Join Michael Gormley as we approach the exciting conclusion to our relic reveal, with #26, our second-to-last relic, coming from a man who can help us mightily on our journey towards sanctity.

With how much we know about Saint Francis of Assisi, it can be hard to grasp an accurate picture of the great saint. We know more about him than any other medieval saint, but all of the awe-inspiring stories of him – founding the Franciscan Order, preaching to the birds, receiving the stigmata, and becoming one of the most venerated religious figures in Christianity – all flow from one source: living the gospel life demonstrated through the utter and complete charity of Jesus. The fingerprints of Saint Francis are all over this project - his influence helped form other saints whose relics will be in the Our Lady of the Angels Chapel, which of course takes its name from the famous chapel he rebuilt in Assisi. In that chapel, the once flamboyant party boy was on the path to seeking sanctity, and he heard the voice of the Lord clearly - "Francis, go and repair My house, which you see is falling down." What happens next can help us on our path towards sanctity, so join us on this pilgrimage: take 20 minutes this Lent to take a break, be with the Lord, and learn more about this inspiring saint.

The twelve apostles are some of the most well-known figures in Christianity, but only one woman is known as "the Apostle to the Apostles." Saint Mary Magdalene, the first person Jesus appeared to after His resurrection, is named in the Bible more than any other woman - including Mary, the mother of Jesus. After having seven demons cast out of her by Jesus, she became a dedicated follower, even remaining with him upon Golgotha. Time, and the popularity of the name Mary in the Biblical times, have created a confusing reputation for this great saint, so join Michael Gormley as he dives into the live of Mary Magdalene, and how we can follow her example in our path towards holiness.

Saint Vincent de Paul had plans for a relatively ordinary life - become a priest, attain a well-paying position within the church, and retire early back at his home village in the south of France. What he didn't plan for, was to be captured at sea by pirates, sold into slavery, escape a few years later, found a religious order and charity organization, and become known as “The Apostle of Charity” from his dedication to caring for the poor. There are invaluable, life-changing lessons to be learned from this inspiring saint, so join Michael Gormley as he dives into the life of Saint Vincent de Paul.
