Well, thank you everybody for joining us here. Again, now we are live at the National Shrine of the Divine Mercy. I'm Father Chris. It's a joy to have you with us. It's great to be back. It's a beautiful day here. And I am super excited because, you know, there's so much to talk about in our Catholic faith and only getting to do it once a week,

if even that, because I travel a lot now, is a joy. And so I'm here to be able to talk to you about,

now on the title law, I'm going to have to add a word, but it says, Father Chris's top five.

And you're going to probably see top five, what? I got to add the word saints. Father Chris's top five, and you're going to probably say top five, what? I got to add the word saints.

Father Chris's top five saints.

Who we are talking about today is going to be a story that I was just telling the group here

that's at the shrine earlier, that I found two nights ago a letter written by this person

that absolutely encapsulates the Catholic faith

and how you should live your life of virtue better than any letter I have ever read.

And it was a letter written on his deathbed to his son.

And so, now before we begin this talk, and first of all, who are we talking about?

We're talking about St. Louis, talking about St. Louis.

And ashamed, 90% of the people that live in that town, I was real close to moving there, don't even know who he is.

And so we're going to talk so much about this. And so let us begin with

the prayer in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Heavenly Father,

we ask you send the Holy Spirit down upon us to open our minds and hearts to learn about your faith

and ask for the intercession of your saints,

especially today, a Saturday of our Blessed Mother Mary, and for St. Louis.

We ask for his intercession.

We ask this through Christ, our Lord.

Amen.

Name of the Father, into the Son, into the Holy Spirit.
