Catholic Saints & Feasts of the Liturgical Year

If a list were made of the greatest human beings who have ever lived, the Catholic saints would be at the top. Though historians often attempt to judge greatness from a subjective perspective, there must be objective criteria by which human greatness is judged. The only Being capable of establishing that criteria is God. The criteria that God has established are the virtues, as identified by Jesus and revealed by Him through the holy Gospels. The goal of this podcast is to present each saint found on the Catholic liturgical calendar in such a way so as to identify the Godly virtues that place each one on that list. The Church has already confirmed the saints’ greatness and their heroic virtues. Importantly, God chose the men and women found in these pages, not only for greatness in their lifetimes, but also as models of holiness in ours. These men and women are gifts to you, given by God through the Church. Each podecast reflection comes from the four-volume series Saints and Feasts of the Liturgical Year . These reflections can be read at our website for free: mycatholic.life . They are also available for purchase in eBook and paperback.

  Catholic Saints & Feasts of the Liturgical Year

  October 1: Saint Thérèse of the Child Jesus, Virgin and Doctor—Memorial

  Sep 30, 202611 min

  Read entire reflection online >>> October 1: Saint Thérèse of the Child Jesus, Virgin and Doctor—Memorial 1873–1897 Patron Saint of foreign missions and missionaries, AIDS patients, air crews, florists, flower growers, and sick people Invoked against illness, tuberculosis, and loss of parents Canonized by Pope Pius XI on May 17, 1925 Liturgical Color: White Quote : How sweet was the first embrace of Jesus! It was indeed an embrace of love. I felt that I was loved, and I said: “I love Thee, and I give myself to Thee for ever.” Jesus asked nothing of me, and claimed no sacrifice; for a long time He and little Thérèse had known and understood one another. That day our meeting was more than simple recognition, it was perfect union. We were no longer two. Thérèse had disappeared like a drop of water lost in the immensity of the ocean; Jesus alone remained—He was the Master, the King! …And then my joy became so intense, so deep, that it could not be restrained; tears of happiness welled up and overflowed…all the joy of Heaven had come down into one heart, and that this heart, exiled, weak, and mortal as it was, could not contain it without tears. ~Saint Thérèse reflects on her First Holy Communion Prayer : Saint Thérèse, as a child you fell in love with God while living within the school of love that was your family. Your love grew so intense that God took you to Himself at a young age, to be with Him forever. Please pray for me, that I will discover the same intensity of love that you did, so that I will also share in the glory in which you now share. Saint Thérèse of the Child Jesus and the Holy Face, pray for me. Jesus, I trust in You. Source: Free RSS feed from mycatholic.life — Copyright © 2026 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.

  Read entire reflection online >>> September 30: Saint Jerome, Priest and Doctor—Memorial c. 340s–420 Patron Saint of archeologists, archivists, Bible scholars, librarians, libraries, schoolchildren, students, and translators Pre-Congregation canonization Declared a Doctor of the Church by Pope Benedict XIV in 1724 Liturgical Color: White Quote : I interpret as I should, following the command of Christ: “Search the Scriptures,” and “Seek and you shall find.” For if, as Paul says, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God, and if the man who does not know Scripture does not know the power and wisdom of God, then ignorance of Scriptures is ignorance of Christ. ~Saint Jerome, Commentary on Isaiah Prayer : Saint Jerome, God gave you a unique calling and used you to provide the Church with a foundational understanding of the Scriptures. Your dedication to prayer, asceticism, and study clearly shows your love for God and His Church. Please pray for me, that I will come to the same depth of love for the Scriptures as you did so that I will also come to the same love of God that you had. Saint Jerome, pray for me.

  September 29: Saints Michael, Gabriel and Raphael, Archangels—Feast

  Sep 28, 202612 min

  Read entire reflection online >>> September 29: Saints Michael, Gabriel and Raphael, Archangels—Feast Patron Saints of soldiers, police, paramedics, and the sick and dying (Michael); messengers, postal workers, broadcasters, and expectant mothers (Gabriel); travelers, the blind, medical workers, and matchmakers (Raphael) Quote : The existence of the spiritual, non-corporeal beings that Sacred Scripture usually calls “angels” is a truth of faith. The witness of Scripture is as clear as the unanimity of Tradition. Who are they? St. Augustine says: “‘Angel’ is the name of their office, not of their nature. If you seek the name of their nature, it is ‘spirit;’ if you seek the name of their office, it is ‘angel:’ from what they are, ‘spirit,’ from what they do, ‘angel’” (St. Augustine, En. in Ps. 103 , 1 , 15 : PL 37, 1348). With their whole beings the angels are servants and messengers of God. Because they “always behold the face of my Father who is in heaven” they are the “mighty ones who do his word, hearkening to the voice of his word” ( Mt 18:10 ; Ps 103:20 ). As purely spiritual creatures angels have intelligence and will: they are personal and immortal creatures, surpassing in perfection all visible creatures, as the splendour of their glory bears witness. ~Catechism of the Catholic Church #328–330 Prayer : Glorious Archangels Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael, I entrust myself to your angelic mediation. Please set into motion God’s plan for my life, protect me from the evil one, deliver to me God’s holy word, and heal me of my sin. I thank you for the glorious duties you fulfill in the divine mission and rely upon you in my life. Saints Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael, pray for me and mediate God’s grace to me. Jesus, I trust in You. Source: Free RSS feed from mycatholic.life — Copyright © 2026 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved. This content is provided solely for personal, non-commercial use.

Had I many thousands of lives I would offer them all for him. Never shall I apostatize. You may kill me if that is what you want. To die for God—such is my will. ~Last words of Saint Lawrence Ruiz Prayer : Saint Larwence Ruiz and Companions, you endured cruel and ongoing tortures to force you to renounce your faith, but you stayed firm to the end. Please pray for me, that I will never allow persecution or any other form of suffering to deter me from offering my life sacrificially to Christ, for His glory and the salvation of souls, beginning with my own.

  September 28: Saint Wenceslaus, Martyr—Optional Memorial

  Sep 27, 202610 min

  Read entire reflection online >>> September 28: Saint Wenceslaus, Martyr—Optional Memorial c. 907–929 Patron Saint of brewers, Czech Republic, Bohemia, and Slovakia Pre-Congregation canonization Liturgical Color: Red Quote : Good King Wenceslas looked out, on the Feast of Stephen, When the snow lay round about, deep and crisp and even. Brightly shone the moon that night, though the frost was cruel, When a poor man came in sight, gath’ring winter fuel. … In his master’s steps he trod, where the snow lay dinted; Heat was in the very sod which the Saint had printed. Therefore, Christian men, be sure, wealth or rank possessing, Ye who now will bless the poor, shall yourselves find blessing. ~From the Christmas hymn, Good King Wenceslaus Prayer : Saint Wenceslaus, you listened to the voice of God, learned the faith through the instrumentality of your grandmother, and chose the Gospel as the central mission of your governance. Please pray for me, that I will always choose Christ above anything this world has to offer and make the proclamation of the Gospel my central mission in life. Saint Wenceslaus, pray for me.
