Story of St. Augustine – For Kids! (35 min.)

Bright, young Augustine thinks his mother's religion is foolishness. Convinced that his superior intellect will guide him, he sneaks away from home and ventures to a new life in the city of Rome. Soon Augustine finds himself in an important position as "The Voice of the Emperor," with the life of luxury he's always wanted. Find out what happens next!

WATCH RESTLESS HEART
Filmed in Europe, this first full-length feature movie on Augustine uses a historic backdrop to tell the true story of one of the Church's most beloved and well-known saints. Its message of sin, conversion, and redemption is as timely today as it was in the fifth century. It is the story of a gifted man who pursues fame and fortune without a moral compass—and the dramatic changes that occur in his soul when challenging events lead him to see the light of truth. Alongside Augustine, the stories of two other great saints, Monica and Ambrose, are also portrayed. PG - Adult Subject Matter & Violence

Pope Francis - Sunday of the Word of God
Stressing how essential it is for Catholics to familiarize themselves with Christ’s written word, Francis highlights “a day devoted to the Bible should not be seen as a yearly event but rather a year-long event.”
The Jesuit Pontiff underscores how we “urgently need to grow in our knowledge and love of the Scriptures and of the risen Lord, who continues to speak his word and to break bread in the community of believers.”

Why family vacations feed our soul!
Great reflection by Tom Hoopes from The Gregorian Institute at Benedictine college.

​Our Workplace Can Help Sanctify Us
by Fr. John Portavella on the Catholic Exchange

From traffic to workplace gossip, we face challenges to our serenity every day. Will you find peace today?

St. Benedict, an ancient saint, has left us an excellent motto as a guide in our journey: Pray and Work! (
Ora et Labora!) This motto is echoed in the teachings of St. Josemaría, a saint of the twentieth century.

Getting Up in the Morning: Our First Spiritual Battle
by Fr. John Portavella on the Catholic Exchange

A new day begins. The alarm clock sounds. It is time to get up quickly from bed. The moment has arrived to offer the first sacrifice to our Lord. The body says, “No, not yet!” but the soul says, “Yes! It is time!” And the most important part, the soul, must conquer.
