Listen "How to Be Holy--Even If You Aren't a Monk"
Episode Synopsis
Genevieve O'Connor, M.T.S., M.F.A meets with Maggie Riggins, Executive Director of Evangelization and Formation for the Diocese of Allentown, to talk about how holiness is possible in any state in life. While some people worry that their lifestyle doesn't permit holiness (parents don't have time to spend 6 hours in prayer like a monk might!), Catholic Tradition reveals that EVERYONE is called to holiness. Riggins offers insight into how this holiness is possible by introducing "Salesian Spirituality." She explains that St. Francis de Sales, through his friendship and correspondence with St. Jane de Chantal, insisted that holiness is possible for all walks of life. Riggins describes a few of St. Francis' key suggestions for how to make our daily lives holy, including the "Direction of Intention," the "Salesian Preparation of the Day", and the "Little Virtues."
