Snippet from the Show:
The beautiful thing about our Catholic faith is that when you conform yourself to a celebrity...you lose yourself. But what Christ wants in conforming to him, instead of losing yourself, you actually gain yourself back, and become who you truly are called to be.

- Sherry Weddell and the Catherine of Siena Institute
- Divine Renovation a book by Fr. Mallon and Ron Huntley
- SEEK 2019

5 Practical Tips
