This episode celebrates the communion of saints—this amazing aspect of the Body of Christ both on heaven and earth. And we recall the beauty of November's month of the holy souls. My guest is Melanie Rigney who brings many stories of the saints in her book Radical Saints: 21 Women for the 21st Century. Also from the book, we delve into the life of St. Dulce of the Poor from Brazil.
