  • 124 - DW | Holy Saints - Perpetua & Felicity

    A document from the early Church called “The Passion of Saints Perpetua and Felicity” was so popular in the North African church that St. Augustine complained that it was more widely read than the Gospels. Perpetua was a prosperous  young woman, married and the mother of a newborn son, who lived in Carthage in the late second century. Despite threats of persecution and death, Perpetua, Felicity (a slave and expectant mother), and their companions, Revocatus, Secundulus, Saturninus, Saturus, and Rusticus, refused to renounce their Christian faith. As a result, they were arrested and sent to prison to await trial.

  • 123 - DW | Holy Saints - Seven Founders of the Order of Servites

    In 1240, seven prominent noblemen of Florence mutually decided to withdraw from the city to a solitary place for prayer and direct service to God. The Blessed Mother appeared to each of them individually and urged them to begin a more perfect life. Disregarding birth and wealth, in sackcloth under shabby and well-worn clothing they withdrew to a small building in the country. It was September 8th, selected so that they might begin to live a more holy life on the very day when the Mother of God began to live her holy life.

  • 121 - DW | Old Testament - 03 - Seekers of the Promised Land

    In the last episode we focused on Genesis Chapters 1-11 and ended with the genealogy of Abraham, the first Patriarch. With his introduction, we go from the mythological to the historical age and arrive on a timeline around 2,000 B.C. Before beginning a very detailed biography of Abraham, we'll first provide an overview of the historical background for this period and focus on how these people lived.
