Episode Synopsis

In this episode, journey into the life of Saint Charles Borromeo—the tireless reformer who became a living icon of the Counter-Reformation. Born into nobility but clothed in humility, Charles rose to immense power in the Church, only to give it all away in relentless service to the poor, the sick, and the forgotten. Discover how this fearless Archbishop of Milan reformed seminaries, confronted corruption, and walked barefoot through plague-ridden streets to bring the sacraments to his people. From the marble halls of the Vatican to the snow-covered villages of the Alps, witness a man consumed by the fire of Christ’s love—a man who burned out in the service of souls. His story is not one of grand miracles, but of heroic consistency and saintly resolve.This is the unforgettable life of a shepherd who would not flee when the wolves came.
