Miles

Mary Lou

Helen

Father Chris Walsh joins Patrick to discuss Friendship with the Saints
(3:20) what do we mean when we call people saints?
Why do we venerate Saints?
(12:46) how do you respond to the objection that prayer to the Saints is idolatry?
Annie - St. Therese of Lisieux...I identified with her.  We just kept bumping with each other.  I ended up resenting her, but we became best friends.  Mystical life living.  Kept growing in fever and identity.

(19:14) Break 1
(21:16) Miles - What hope there is and how do we go about adopting as canonical saints those who are recognized as saints. Those who are Eastern Orthodox Saints so we are in greater union with those churches?
(26:52) Mary Lou - St Peregrine and St. Therese.  Little old lady gave me a holy card that was touched to relics.  She said be careful what you pray for. Prayed for something and within 24 hours, the prayer intention came true! Gave the card to someone else and they said the next day they received a red rose.
Alberta- What I was a teen...I prayed a Novena to St. Therese.  My prayer was to show me the right partner in life.  When the time came to dating, there was a guy I liked.  I asked for help from St. Therese, and asked she give me a white rose as a sign.  I received one on the 9th day of the novena.

(37:19) Break 2
Why do we celebrate All Saints Day?
Barbara - St. Anthony.  My uncle always liked him.  He always finds what you're looking for.
(44:55) Helen - St. Jude.  He's done so much for me.  At the beginning of my conversion, my mother-in-law gave me his prayer card when finishing college.  Had 2 job offers after that.
How can we get to know the saints better if we are just getting?
