Fr. John Hogan; Communion of Saints, Introducing Fr. Willie Doyle
When your prayer is to God, that he introduces you to his friends, it is amazing the parade of life long introductions he will make. For me this began with St. Ignatius being an example of Gods of what God had in store. St. Ignatius’s life was transformed by his introduction to the saints, and so would mine. I am so proud to be a Catholic because of our connection to the holy men and woman. In fact it is such an important part of our faith that we profess it as part of the mass. “I believe in the communion of saints”
This episode is about how the saints play such an important part in our spirituality, and it is an introduction to who I hope will be the next saint given to the world from Ireland, Fr. Willie Doyle SJ. With Catholicism on the decline not just worldwide but especially in Ireland Devotion to Father Willie may be the answer to the loss of joy that secularism has left us. Joining me Along The Way to discuss the saints and Fr. Willie Doyle is the postulator of his cause is Fr. John Hogan a priest of the Diocese of Meath in Ireland and one of the host’s of EWTN’s Forgotten Heritage.
