You all know that I’m a Saint-a-holic. I’m addicted to the saints because they make me feel as safe as vodka used to. Especially my patron saint, Therese of Lisieux. From a very early age, I have had a strong devotion to her. It’s “one of my favorite things” as I sang on Wednesday. For that reason, I wanted to tell you about Fr. Jim Martin’s newest project, which I think is pretty cool. In a new DVD published by Loyola Productions, he introduces you to some of his favorite saints, combining insightful commentary along with dramatic photos and historical artwork that bring their stories to life.
