The Year of St. Francis: How This Saint Continues to Make an Impact 800 years later

We live in a time of constant noise. Constant consumption. Constant comparison. Most people are overwhelmed by information, pressured to perform, and stretched thin by busyness. Even spiritually, it can be easy to approach faith as just another thing to manage or optimize. And yet Saint Francis offers us something strikingly different. Today we’re chatting with Father Michael Heine, the minister provincial of the Franciscan Friars Conventual of Our Lady of Angels in Maryland, to talk about how the spirit of St. Francis continues to shape the Church, challenge modern believers in deeply practical ways and why he continues to resonate with people who are searching for something deeper during this year of Saint Francis. SCRIPTURE: Luke 9:23 SAINT SPOTLIGHT: St. Clare of Assisi

Today we're diving into this beautiful tension - and harmony - with Monsignor Frank Karwacki, pastor at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church and former science teacher. SCRIPTURE: John 10:10 SAINT SPOTLIGHT: St. Albert the Great

SCRIPTURE: Luke 1:38-45 SAINT SPOTLIGHT: St. Louis de Montfort

Reconciliation as a Radical Act
