HOW TO RAISE SAINTS?
In this episode, I talk to Bridget Costello about the Common Qualities of Pious Families that Produced Saints :
-What role does a family play in shaping saints.
-What are the seven qualities that families can develop to produce saints?
-How important is family prayer?
-Why the Rosary is such a powerful tool?
-How faith and love can be caught and not taught!
I enjoyed talking to Bridget where she explains about raising saints. She has imparted so many practical tips and advice that makes for a great listen. I loved when she said, “Any beautiful piece of sculpture has to go through fire.”
Her advice about setting a good example is so necessary in a world where our role models are limited. She talks about holiness being caught and not taught. This is a must listen for parents with children and those contemplating marriage. She has some real zingers in there the best of which is “Marriage is sacrifice. Its messy but its sacrifice.”
Bridget credits her own mother for giving them the devotion of the Rosary. Her mother has raised a saint in the making.
Please also pray for Bridget who is getting her degree in Theology! You can find Bridget on Facebook. Or you check out her website.
