Catholic Saints

Join Dr. Jean-Paul Juge and Dr. Jessica Ewell for the third in a monthly series of new episodes within the Catholic Saints podcast that focuses on "Praying with the Saints." Saint Irenaeus invites us to pray not just with our souls, but with our bodies as well. He affirms the goodness of God's creation and refutes the Gnostic belief that the body is evil and only the spirit can be saved. If you would like to learn more about the life and legacy of Saint Irenaeus, you can find that episode here in the Augustine Institute's podcast channel. 

Dr. Jean-Paul Juge is a teaching fellow in the Augustine Institute Graduate School of Theology. Learn more at Augustine.edu.

During the Nestorian Controversy of the fifth century, heroic saints like Cyril of Alexandria defended the truth of Christ’s divinity. In this episode, Dr. Carl Vennerstrom and Mary McGeehan discuss the Nestorian heresy and how St. Cyril’s humble, courageous spirit aided the Church during a time of discord.

Discussion question: St. Cyril of Alexandria was a defender of the truth in a time of great debate, much like the times we are living in today. By reflecting on St. Cyril’s life, how can you embody his humility and courage in controversy? Ask the Lord to show you the places in your life where you can stand up for truth.
