Catholic Saints

Dr. Elizabeth Klein and Taylor Kemp discuss the unique life of St. Simeon the Stylite, famously known for standing on top of a pole for thirty years attempting to pray without ceasing. St. Simeon’s extremeness, like many Old Testament prophets, startles Christians to ponder how they are radically giving up their lives to God. His feast day is January 5.

Dr. Carl Vennerstrom and Mary McGeehan discuss the life and impact of St. Rose of Lima. Born in Lima in the late 16th century, Rose is known for her zealous faith, strong fasting, self-imposed penances, and her desire to remain unmarried to be Christ’s spouse. St. Rose experienced much tension between her vocation and her family life as her devotion to God sometimes conflicted with her obedience to her parents.

Join Dr. John Sehorn and Dr. Elizabeth Klein to learn about Saint Bernard de Clairvaux. Cousins, brothers, and even his own father joined him in the monastery where he lived a life of prayer and austerity. This monastic reformer and mystic have much to teach us about how to love God and, perhaps surprisingly, how to love ourselves.
