Who are the five Catholic Saints in your team? - a podcast by The Holy Joes: Joe McKeown & special guest Holy Joes

In this episode, we talk about the Catholic Saints that are currently inspiring us or who we ask to intercede on our behalf. W

One of the greatest treasures we have in the Catholic Church is the rich heritage of the lives of the saints. These men and women of faith led extraordinary lives of holiness during their time on earth as they pursued Jesus in their prayers and lives. 

Most people use the word “saint” to refer to someone who is exceptionally good or “holy.” In the Catholic Church, however, a “saint” has a more specific meaning: someone who has led a life of “heroic virtue.” 

This definition includes the four “cardinal” virtues: prudence, temperance, fortitude and justice; as well as the “theological” virtues: faith, hope and charity. A saint displays these qualities in a consistent and exceptional way.

When someone is proclaimed a saint by the pope – which can happen only after death – public devotion to the saint, called a “cultus,” is authorized for Catholics throughout the world.

In this episode we want you to consider who are the saints that inspire you in your life, or who are the saints that are in your 'posse', your team or your clann. St Joseph, Pray for us
