In this gripping, cinematic episode, journey into the astonishing life of Saint Leonard of Port Maurice — the frail Capuchin friar who should have died in his twenties, but instead rose from his deathbed to shake Italy to its core.

His voice cracked, his lungs bled, and yet sinners collapsed in tears at his words. Criminals converted on the spot. Enemies reconciled after decades of hatred. And in a moment that stunned all of Rome, he transformed the ancient Colosseum into the world’s most powerful Stations of the Cross.This episode takes you deep into the drama: mystical visions, spiritual warfare, miracles of conversion, midnight battles with despair, and the relentless love that drove him to preach until his body completely gave out. Discover how one dying friar, armed with nothing but a crucifix and unshakable faith, reignited the soul of an entire nation.If you want a story filled with emotion, suspense, miracles, and the intense beauty of a life consumed by God, this is an episode you cannot skip.
