The World Will DROWN You: St. Catherine on Prayer, Providence, & Reform | Sr. Mary Madeline Todd, OP

Sr. Mary Madeline Todd unpacks the astonishing life and teachings of St. Catherine of Siena, showing how her radical love for Christ led her to confront popes, serve the sick & suffering, and call the Church to true reform—not through negative criticism, but through holiness. At the heart of her message is the powerful image from her Dialogue: the world as a raging river pulling souls toward destruction, and Christ Himself as the only bridge to safety. This uplifting conversation will remind you that real reform begins within—and that only by surrendering to Christ can we cross from death to life.
