RLR Interview with Emily Chaffins: St. Charbel’s Miracles Continue

from Respect Life Radio Hosted by respectliferadio

On this week’s episode of Respect Life Radio, Deacon Geoff welcomes weekly guest Emily Chaffins, a fiction writer and journalist whose work combines a passion for storytelling with a Catholic perspective on faith and everyday life. Emily’s writing has been recognized with multiple Catholic Media Awards and she recently earned First Place for Graduate Fiction from the Florida International University Student Literary Awards. Her journalism has appeared in publications including EWTN News and the National Catholic Register. Deacon Geoff and Emily discuss her recent Catholic Exchange article, “St. Charbel’s Miracles Continue,” which explores the life and powerful intercession of St. Charbel Makhlouf, the Lebanese Maronite monk and hermit canonized in 1977. Emily shares several remarkable accounts of healing attributed to St. Charbel’s intercession, including the restoration of a woman’s sight, a cancer survivor’s testimony and a woman whose long-standing surgical wound unexpectedly healed. The conversation offers an opportunity to reflect on the power of prayer, the witness of the saints and how St. Charbel continues to point people toward Christ in times of suffering and uncertainty.
