The Great Teachers
Pope Benedict XVI
Discover the greatest teachers of the Faith as Pope Benedict XVI highlights their essential role during a time of scandal and strife in the Church. Focusing specifically on the 13th-century founding of the Franciscans by St.Francis of Assisi and the Dominicans by St.Dominic Guzmán, the pope said personal holiness led the two saints to preach - and to help actualise - a return to Gospel poverty, a deeper unity with the Church, and a new movement of evangelisation, including within the European universities that were blossoming at the time.
"The Franciscans and Dominicans followed in the footsteps of their founders and demonstrated that it was possible to live evangelical poverty, to live the Gospel itself, without seperating themselves from the Church," he said.
Their example continues to be relevant today as we struggle with a culture that "focuses more on having than on being," and look to emulate those holy people who chose to live very simply.

St.Damien of Molokai
Margaret & Matthew Bunson
The riveting account of how a humble Congregation of the Sacred Hearts priest found vocation in caring for lepers that led him to his canonization in October 2009. Hawaii normally brings idyllic scenes of blue skies and white beaches to mind. But Hell invaded Paradise when the incurable disease leprosy was discovered there. An 1865 law segregated lepers by forcibly exiling individuals - even children - to the island of Molokai. It was onto these forlorn shores that Father Damien stepped in spring 1873. In an age in which an increasing number of people suffer their own personal account of illness, handicap, or emotional distress, the shining example of Father Damien shows the true power of one person and how, when anchored in God's love, one person can impact on the world - even among the horrors of decay and slow death.

The Virtues
Pope Benedict XVI
Pope Benedict XVI has frequently spoken about the pursuit of virtue. In these selections from his homilies and addresses, the Holy Father draws on the lives of saints, the Catechism, and common experiences to bring us into a deeper understanding of the virtues and how to cultivate them in our own lives so that we can grow closer to the Lord. Allow Pope Benedict XVI to instruct you on nurturing all the basic Christian virtues: Faith, Hope, and Charity, called the Theological Virtues and Prudence, Fortitude, Justice, and Temperance- the Cardinal Virtues.
"...The truly great thing in Christianity, which does not dispense one from small, daily things but must not be concealed by them either, is this ability to come into contact with God." -Pope Benedict XVI
