&quot;So faith, hope and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.&quot;  -1 Corinthians 13:13 Little beyond legend is known of the patron of the greatest theological virtues: love. Saint Valentine has a secular &quot;Hallmark&quot; holiday in his honor, but in today&apos;s inspirational episode, his life as a Roman of heroic devotion is given depth and meaning. It is no stretch to claim that family as it was ordained by God is threatened at every turn in our modern culture. Listen to hear how Saint Valentine challenged a great threat to the love and strength of the family so very long ago. This Valentine&apos;s Day, embark with us into the history of the catacombs, squirm under the accusations of an evil emperor, and witness the painful beauty of sacrificial love!Saints Alive is brought to you by the #1 Catholic Prayer App, Hallow!

Saint Valentine

&quot;Nothing is far from God&quot; Have you ever heard the quote &quot;You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our heart is restless until it rests in you.&quot;? Or what about &quot;To fall in love with God is the greatest romance; to seek Him, the greatest adventure and to find Him, the greatest human achievement&quot;? These beautiful quotes are from the incredible Saint, Augustine of Hippo. And before he was a saint, Augustine was nothing short of a ruffian and rebel. It was only by the grace of God that he went on to become saint and doctor of the church! And we will tell his story...but! Not yet. First, we have to start with the story of the one that prayed Augustine into the arms of God, the woman who wept and fought for his holiness: Augustine&apos;s mother, Saint Monica.Saints Alive is brought to you by the #1 Catholic Prayer App, Hallow!

Astronaut Tim Peake is co-presenting 13 Minutes Presents: Artemis II and has the latest news. The mission had been set to begin in early March, but a helium leak was discovered.

The mission is set to see astronauts flying around the Moon for the first time in more than 50 years. Tim spent 186 days at the International Space Station, so what’s it like to be an astronaut waiting for lift off? What final preparations are made? And what determines the launch date? 13 Minutes Presents: Artemis II will take off two days before the launch. Tim will be joined by space scientist Maggie Aderin-Pocock and US space journalist Kristin Fisher to bring you a space story in real time. Every day of the mission, the team will have the latest news, key details about the rocket and the crew, and they’ll hear from the people who’re making it all happen.

Written in the author&rsquo;s early forties in the last years of the fourth century A.D. and during his first years as a bishop, they reflect on his life and on the activity of remembering and interpreting a life. Books I&ndash;IV are concerned with infancy and learning to talk, schooldays, sexual desire and adolescent rebellion, intense friendships, and intellectual exploration. Augustine evolves and analyses his past with all the resources of the reading, which shaped his Virgil and Cicero, Neoplatonism, and the Bible. This volume, which aims to be usable by students who are new to Augustine, alerts readers to the verbal echoes and allusions of Augustine&rsquo;s brilliant and varied Latin and explains his theological and philosophical questioning of what God is and what it is to be human. The edition is intended for use by students and scholars of Latin literature, theology, and Church history.</div>

The extraordinary story of the ‘Eagle’ spacecraft, which landed astronauts on the Moon. Built by Long Island engineers, it was a spacecraft like no other - one designed to land on another world. The result was the spidery lunar module, a spacecraft that was “difficult to fly and easy to crash”. Astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin spent hundreds of hours in the simulator to prepare for every possible manoeuvre required for the daring, final thirteen-minute descent to the lunar surface.Hosted by Kevin Fong.Starring:

Miracle Hunters: Our Lady of Knock

<div class="object-description__text">'The Memphis Belle: A Story of a Flying Fortress' is a 1944 documentary film which ostensibly provides an account of the final mission of the crew of the Memphis Belle, a Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress. In May 1943 the Memphis Belle became the first US Army Air Forces heavy bomber to complete 25 missions over Europe and return to the United States. The dramatic 16 mm color film of actual battles was made by three cinematographers, including First Lieutenant Harold J Tannenbaum. Tannenbaum, a veteran of the First World War, was killed in action during the filming when the bomber he was in was shot down over France on April 16, 1943. The film was directed by Major William Wyler, narrated by Eugene Kern, and had scenes at Bassingbourn, photographed by Hollywood cinematographer Captain William H Clothier. It was made under the auspices of the First Motion Picture Unit, part of the United States Army Air Forces. The film actually depicted penultimate mission of the crew on 15 May 1943, and was made as a morale-building inspiration for the Home Front by showing the everyday courage of the men who manned these bombers.</div>

13 Minutes to the Moon: 10. ‘For all mankind’

We are so glad you are back to hear the second chapter of the tale of Saint Nicholas! This episode, we unpack the beloved story of how the Bishop of Myra sacrificed his own fortune to save three young girls from the blight of poverty. We couldn&apos;t help but set this scene in a Christmas-y light and hope you enjoy reveling in songs of glad tidings and snowy, joyful expectation of the Christ Child with us!*Important Note to Parents* We did our best to be mindful of different families&apos; teachings and traditions at Christmastime. Our presentation of Saint Nicholas is true to his legacy of virtue and holiness and he remains a distinct figure from any in today&apos;s secular representations. That being said, one character in our version of this story, named &apos;Kris Kringle,&apos; does allude to the idea of a modern &apos;Santa Claus&apos; but is never called so by name. By avoiding any explicit reference, we hope this telling can appeal to families over a range of practices this season. Above all, our aim was to encourage children to model the very real Saints of our Church and conform their lives to Christ; we hope that this message over any other shines brightest in this production!Saints Alive is brought to you by the #1 Catholic Prayer App, Hallow!

Saint Catherine Labouré

In the mid 17th century, a brave Augustinian priest went back to his homeland in Japan to bring the hope and truth of Christ to his people. Blessed Thomas &quot;Kintsuba&quot; Jihyoe is remembered today for his remarkable heroism, persevering to the very end and ultimately giving his life for the truth. In 2019, Pope Francis visited Japan and said, &quot;Let us find powerful inspiration in the story of the early missionaries and Japanese martyrs. May we never forget their heroic sacrifice! May it not remain as a glorious relic of the past, to be kept and honored in a museum, but rather, a living memory, an inspiration for the works of the apostolate and a spur to renewed evangelization in this land&quot; With that in mind, come listen to the incredible story of Blessed Thomas Jihyoe today andlet his story inspire you on your own journey to sainthood!

“God is calling you to serve him in and from the ordinary….
