Dead Friend Saints

This is week, we are revisiting an episode which was recorded in 2021 with the Most Reverend Bernard A. Hebda who is the Archbishop of Saint Paul and Minneapolis. This episode was recorded in the year of Saint Joseph and focuses on what an incredible father, man, and role-model Saint Joseph is. I want to thank the Archbishop again for giving me the honor of this interview and for his faithful leadership over the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis. Please enjoy this re-released episode and Saint Joseph, pray for us!

I was delighted to record this episode with the wonderful Father Andrie in appreciation for our mutual friend, Saint Thérèse of Lisieux! Father Andrie is the pastor at the parish of Saint Thérèse of Deephaven, MN. He expresses invaluable wisdom into Thérèse's little way and explains who she is as only a true friend can. In this episode, we talk about how she glorified God with her life and how she shows us how to reach heaven through her "Little Way".
