Seeing Like The Saints
We live in a world hungry for hope — and the Saints show us where to find it.
Seeing Like the Saints is a 12-part video series filmed in Sicily, where Anne and Kevin share reflections on the lives of Saints and everyday heroes of faith. Each story is a glimpse into how God transforms weakness into strength, pain into purpose, and the ordinary into something holy.
Through humor, history, and heartfelt prayer, these episodes invite you to rediscover the beauty of the Catholic faith and the friendship of the Saints. Whether you’re learning about St. Anthony, St. Zita, or modern witnesses like Blessed Franz Jägerstätter, you’ll find encouragement to stand firm, stay joyful, and live your calling right where you are.
“Don’t camp out on the mountaintop. Bring the light down to the valley.”
Join us — and learn to see like the saints.
A Journey Begins in Sicily
What if holiness isn’t about striving for perfection… but learning to see like the saints see? To notice beauty in the ordinary. To find God in the mess and the mystery. This series begins in Sicily — but it’s really about the journey inside each of us. Let’s ask the Holy Spirit to open our eyes to love that never stops reaching for us. MORE TO COME!

When God Feels Hidden — Finding Him in Ordinary Life

Everyday Sainthood: Holiness in the Hidden Life
Not all saints wore crowns or performed miracles. Some changed diapers, washed dishes, and prayed quietly for their families. That’s holiness too — doing small things with great love. Wherever you are today, your ordinary moments can become sacred.

Never Too Late: The Redemption of St. Andreas Wouters
In this episode of Seeing Like the Saints, we share the powerful story of St. Andreas Wouters, a 16th-century Dutch priest whose life was marked by serious failure—but whose final moments revealed heroic faith.
Tortured and threatened with death, he refused to deny the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist, declaring:
“A fornicator I was, but a heretic never.”
His witness reminds us that it’s never too late to begin again—and that God is never finished with us. Join us as we pray for loved ones who have wandered from the faith and ask the Lord for renewal, courage, and deep conversion.

The Saints Lead Us Forward (Not Back)
In this episode of Seeing Like the Saints, we reflect on Kevin's final day in Sicily and the powerful story of the Transfiguration (Mark 9)—when the disciples experience Jesus’ glory on the mountaintop, only to come back down into the challenges of everyday life. Jesus reminds them that true spiritual strength is cultivated through prayer and fasting, and that we must keep moving forward instead of living in past moments of grace. The saints inspire us not to stay in nostalgia, but to become lights where we are, making Jesus easy to see to the people right in front of us.
