Journeying With The Saints
Journeying with the Saints is a podcast that picks a Saint for a year to walk with through their writings. Each week, there will be a short reading and then a reflection. This podcast helps to move through the writings of the Saints and understand how their wisdom applies to our lives today. Each Saint has a unique insight into living out the Catholic Faith well and a deep understanding of how to draw closer to Christ. This podcast offers a great opportunity to learn from them.
