Saints & Feasts of the Liturgical Year

About Saints & Feasts of the Liturgical Year

If a list were made of the greatest human beings who have ever lived, the Catholic saints would be at the top. Though historians often attempt to judge greatness from a subjective perspective, there must be objective criteria by which human greatness is judged. The only Being capable of establishing that criteria is God. The criteria that God has established are the virtues, as identified by Jesus and revealed by Him through the holy Gospels. The goal of this podcast is to present each saint found on the Catholic liturgical calendar in such a way so as to identify the Godly virtues that place each one on that list. The Church has already confirmed the saints’ greatness and their heroic virtues. Importantly, God chose the men and women found in these pages, not only for greatness in their lifetimes, but also as models of holiness in ours. These men and women are gifts to you, given by God through the Church. Each podecast reflection comes from the four-volume series Saints and Feasts of the Liturgical Year. These reflections can be read at our website for free: mycatholic.life (https://mycatholic.life/saints/saints-of-the-liturgical-year/). They are also available for purchase in eBook and paperback.

Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church

Published 24 May 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] To understand the Blessed Virgin Mary's role as Mother of the Church, we need to begin with Scripture. As Jesus hung on the cross, John's Gospel records that the mother of Jesus and two other women stood before him, alongside John, the disciple whom Jesus loved. From the cross, Jesus entrusted his mother to John's care. When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple there whom he loved, he said to his mother, Woman, behold your son. Then he said to the disciple, Behold your mother. And from that hour the disciple took her into his home. From John 19, verses 26-27 In 1895, in his encyclical on the rosary, Pope Leo XIII wrote about that gospel passage. […]
