Glory Story (1:15)

Listener Question (3:43)

I really struggle with comparing my life to other people. I even get upset about other people’s situations and place in life. Seeing other people happy can make me angry. How can I be more grateful?

Saint Story: St. Stephen (16:58)

St. Stephen was the first martyr in Christianity. He was also one of the first deacons. Prior to becoming Christian, St. Stephen was a Hellinist or Greek-speaking Jew. One of the great witnesses of St. Stephen was the forgiveness he showed to those who stoned him to death.

Now, Fr. Josh is the Vocations Director of the Diocese of Baton Rouge in Louisiana. He is a presenter in four of Ascension’s programs: Altaration, YOU: Life, Love, and the Theology of the Body, The 99, and Connected: Catholic Social Teaching for This Generation, as well as the author of Broken and Blessed: An Invitation to My Generation, Pocket Guide to Adoration, and co-author of Pocket Guide to Reconciliation.
