The Humanity of the Saints

Sofia and Giuliana have a conversation about becoming fully human, through the lens of the lives of the saints. What does a fulfilled humanity look like? What does it mean that the saints were fully human? And how can their prayers and example help us become more truly ourselves? // Our weekly challenge is to get to know a new saint - whether it’s your confirmation saint, a saint who shares your name or birthday, or Servant of God Luigi Giussani ;) And our media recommendation is the film The Lives of Others. // We’d love to hear from you!
