What does true spiritual success look like in the eyes of God when worldly efforts seem to fail at every turn? On The Son Rise Morning Show, host Matt Swaim welcomes back Benedictine monk, author, and teacher Fr. Augustine Wetta, O.S.B., for a conversation on saints who experienced apparent failure. Focusing on St. Rose Philippine Duchesne (foundress of the Academy of the Sacred Heart in the U.S. and namesake of Villa Duchesne in St. Louis), Fr. Wetta shares her remarkable story of perseverance: from surviving the French Revolution and struggling to learn English to enduring failed convent foundations and unruly classrooms. He explores her interior locution where God revealed she was "destined to please Him by failure," culminating in her mission to the Potawatomi Native Americans at age 72—who remembered her for generations as Quah-kah-ka-num-ad, "The Woman Who Prays Always."
