Summary

This week we will be exploring the saints who are celebrating feast days, and the great impact they made on the Church. Each of these stories reminds us of the power of the Holy Spirit, which enables us to proclaim the truth, face death with love and remain faithful to the teachings of Jesus Christ. Here is a preview of who we will be discussing:

Monday is the feast day of St. Jose Maria Escriva. Learn about Opus Dei and how we can make our ordinary work holy!
Tuesday is the feast day of St. Cyril of Alexandria, a Doctor of the Church who taught clearly about the nature of Christ and Mary as the Theotokos.
Wednesday is the feast day of Irenaeus of Lyon. Through Irenaeus we have a special view of how the Faith passes from one person the next.
Thursday is the feast day of Sts Peter and Paul who, tradition tells us, where martyred in Rome on the same day (June 29th, 67).
Finally, on Friday we celebrate the First Martyrs of Rome, those brave people who died willing for Jesus after Nero burned down Rome in the year 64.

0:29.4	Hey there, Spouse. Today is Wednesday, June 28, 2003. Today is also the feast day of a saint from the 100th, an important saint named Ironaeus of Leon. Before we talk about his incredible story and the deep impact that he's
0:39.7	had on the church, however, please join me in praying the come Holy Spirit prayer that we too
0:46.5	may be filled with the Holy Spirit and become saints. In the name of the Father and of the Son
0:52.9	and of the Holy Spirit, amen. Come Holy Spirit, fill the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit amen come Holy Spirit fill the hearts
0:57.8	of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love send forth your spirit and they shall be
1:04.8	created and you shall renew the face of the earth oh God who by the light of the Holy Spirit did instruct the hearts of the earth. O God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit, did instruct the hearts of the faithful,

1:25.3	So like I said, today is the feast day of Ironaeus of Leone. So yesterday, we went back to the

1:48.5	spread and how it continues to spread today. So Ironaeus of Leone, he was actually born in what is modern
1:56.7	day Turkey, a place called Smyrna. And so at the time when he lived there and grew up, there was a man
2:02.9	named Polycarp, who was the bishop, a very holy man. In fact, he is sort of remembered as one of the
2:09.8	first real martyrs for the faith. Even his body and his clothing was collected after he died
2:16.6	and venerated.
2:17.8	Some of the first earliest relics that we have in the church are from St. Polycarp.
2:23.9	An incredibly holy man who wrote beautifully about the faith and inspired the people under his care to just give themselves fully to Jesus.
