Humility vs Vainglory: the Sacred Heart & The Wisdom of St. Claude La Colombière

Most Catholics know the devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Far fewer know the quiet 17th-century Jesuit Saint who helped who helped to popularize it. In this episode, translator Brandon Otto walks us through the life of St. Claude La Colombière, the French Jesuit and confessor to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque who helped spread devotion to the Sacred Heart.  Brandon shares the saint's own words so we might grow in humility, mercy, and perseverance. We get into St. Claude's interior struggle with vainglory, a true practical lesson for anyone trying to stay engaged with the world without being owned by it. In an age that runs on fame, image, and more stuff, his case for detachment and quiet, hands-on charity is powerful. We also discuss two miracle stories. First a story about Blessed Solanus Casey and second a healing miracle Matt's mother received through the intercession of St. Joseph.   St. Claude's advice can help you live in the world without losing your soul!  Brandon Otto is the translator of Not of the World by St. Claude LaColombière    Notes Email List  Support Veritas Other Veritas Shows The Tangent (Podbean) (Apple) (Spotify)  Let Me Be Frank with Bishop Frank Caggiano (Podbean) (Apple) (Spotify) The Frontline With Joe & Joe (Podbean) (Apple) (Spotify) White Collars (Podbean) (Apple) (Spotify)  Restless Catholic Young Adults: (Podbean) (Apple) (Spotify)   Daily Gospel Reflections (Podbean) (Apple) (Spotify)
