The feast day of St. Rita of Cascia is May 22. Hers was a late vocation, a mother and widow who became an Augustinian nun. Father Chris Alar, MIC, shares her remarkable story and reveals why St. Rita is the patroness of abused wives, heartbroken children, and impossible causes. Then meet Nicole LeBlanc, a mother who faced an unthinkable challenge during her pregnancy, one that tested her commitment to life and trust in God's plan.

One of the most important parts of growth in the spiritual life is to be able to discern God's will and, likewise, discern what is not of God. Father Thaddaeus Lancton, MIC, explains the discernment of spirits using the time-tested technique of Ignatian Spirituality. Then meet Fr. Richard Shuaibu who shares his courageous story of discerning God's will when making a life-changing decision.

Fr. Chris Alar explains how some saint's bodies are incorrupt and some are not and why we have relics as well as how scientific explanations do not conflict with the faith.
