Summary
When we look at the lives of those who have faithfully followed Christ, we are inspired with a new reason for seeking the City that is to come and at the same time we are shown a most safe path by which… we will be able to arrive at perfect union with Christ, that is, perfect holiness. - Lumen Gentium, 50
One of our great gifts as Catholics is the "older brothers and sisters" that God has given us in the saints. There are saints for every personality, vocation, and even job type! In this episode, we interview the creators of the podcast "Saints Alive!" who tell dramatizations of the life stories of the saints. This is a great tool for parents in this digital age when we are all looking for good media to put in front of our children and into their minds. We hope this will be a valuable resource for parents looking to fill their children's minds with good and holy things!

| 0:35.4 | and we're so glad you chose to join us. |
| 0:38.3 | I thought you were going to say so glad to join the neighborhood. You said the neighborhood. |
| 0:41.2 | Let's keep saying neighborhood. Neighborhood? Well, they got to join the neighborhood if they want to be |
| 0:45.1 | in the neighborhood. Yes, that is true. But it is lent. It is lent. Praise God. This is a great time of |
| 0:51.0 | let's see, resetting. That's what one of our pastors used to say. This is a good, like, |
| 0:56.1 | kind of recalibration of where are we in a relationship with the Lord and how are we doing in our |
| 1:00.9 | prayer? And, you know, like for our kids, we're like assessing every week. Yeah. Really, because we |
| 1:06.4 | keep falling down and getting back up again. I know, but that's why we do it. We are the most |
| 1:10.4 | consistent, inconsistent families out there. |
| 1:13.5 | That's right. |
| 1:13.9 | And Lent is a great time to do that reset, to remember, what are we doing here? |
