In this episode:

“Blessed are They”: St Frances Xavier Cabrini

“Among Women” Guest: Melanie Rigney

One part a meditation on the Beatitudes and one part a reflection on the lives of the saints, Melanie Rigney’s new book, Blessed Are You: Finding Inspiration from Our Sisters in Faith, is the basis for our conversation today on how to live the beatitudes. In other words, it’s how to live like Jesus. Also in this episode, a profile on the life of St Frances Xavier Cabrini, and encouragement to tune into the Jubilee Year of Mercy coming Dec 8th.
