The Church has always taught that in order to grow in the spiritual life, we need a good spiritual director. Saint Francis de Sales (1567-1622), Bishop and Doctor of the Church (feast day: Jan. 24), is best known for his writings and compassionate approach to spiritual direction and guidance. Father Chris Alar, MIC reveals what this holy man can teach us today. Then hear the story of Michael Ortner, a successful businessman who built an innovative model for Catholic education.

Many people, even Catholics, have embraced the myth that Galileo Galilei, the astronomer who discovered the sun is the center of the solar system, was thrown in a dungeon and tortured until he recanted because it conflicted with Catholic teaching.

Then hear the story of Paul Zucarelli, whose near-death experience is a remarkable example of how divine grace can transform a life and bring an entire family back to the heart of the Church.
