Devotion to the Saints—those who have gone before us into heaven—is a worthy endeavor. We can be encouraged by their example; we can be instructed by their teachings; and we can be supported by their prayers. But there’s a right and a wrong way to practice any devotion.
Today, Fr. Mark-Mary talks about Catholic devotion to the Saints and shows us how to neither become discouraged nor… weird.
Want a whole manual’s worth of practical guidance for the spiritual life? Fr. Mark-Mary’s got you covered. Check out his book Habits for Holiness: Small Steps for Making Big Spiritual Progress.
