Virtues of the Saints

When we think of the Saints, we often picture their heroic deeds or miraculous lives or miracles performed, but what truly made them holy were the virtues they practiced every single day. Father Donald Calloway, MIC, explores this fact more deeply in his new children’s book for Marian Press, Virtues of the Saints: Fifteen Heavenly Habits for Children, co-authored with Patrick O’Hearn. Then learn about “Catholic Men for Jesus Christ,” a brotherhood of men striving to live out their faith in an authentic way.

Watch Fr. Chris Alar, MIC, and the Marian Fathers and Brothers from the National Shrine of The Divine Mercy on our weekly show, "Living Divine Mercy," airing on EWTN every Thursday at 10 pm ET, with an encore presentation on Mondays at 9:00 am ET.  Through teaching segments, Bible and St. Faustina Diary excerpts, as well as real-life examples of people who are living Divine Mercy in their lives, you will learn why Jesus said Divine Mercy is mankind's last hope of salvation!
