Fr. Andy reads from Luke 9:28b-36, the Gospel reading for Sunday, March 16, 2025.

Who was St. Maria Goretti? Today on Saints in Focus, listen to Br. Jeff, MIC, as he explains the story of St. Maria Goretti and the great courage she had to remain pure and give her life as a martyr for Christ. One of the most incredible stories of all the saints!

In Part 2 of 2, what did the Holy Family (Jesus, Mary and Joseph) talk about and do but was not recorded in the Bible? How do we know this? Answer: from tradition and from the mystics such as Bl. Anne Catherine Emmerich, Ven. Mary of Agreda, St. Bridget of Sweden and St. Elizabeth of Schonau. Join Fr. Chris as he summarizes what these mystics have said about what happened within the Holy Family during their time in Egypt, during their hidden life in Nazareth, during the death of St. Joseph, and during the public ministry of Jesus. Interesting stories are given (such as what the first words of Jesus were when he spoke) and what they did at home.
