S4 E13 Saints Who Get It: Saint Gemma Galgani with Allison Gingras

Shownotes

We’ve spoken about saints frequently here on the podcast and most recently had a conversation with Belinda Terro Mooney about how powerful the saints are especially on their feast days. From Saint Blaise who is known for curing throats to Carlo Acutis, also known as the digital saint, we’ve learned there’s a saint for just about everything. But how do we even find out about these saints? Is it through our own personal struggles and a quick Google search? Or do these saints somehow find us just when they know we need them the most?
