In this episode, the dogs discuss the movie Devotion (1:00 ) and what it takes to become a saint (6:10 ). They pull from the Office of Readings (7:29 ), Bishop Barron (10:14 ), and Cardinal George (27:30 ), all while making too many baseball references. Mike closes the episode with a reference to the North American Martyrs (35:35 ) and his modest rebellion against becoming a semi-pro therapist (30:30 ).

Quotes:

“God desires for us to be saints. It’s not enough for us to behave properly; He wants a transformation of the heart.” (Mike, 7:50 )

“The desire on our hearts is that someone will crash land for us or that I will crash land for someone else… it calls to a deeper part of our humanity.” (Mike, 8:45 )

 “What makes a saint is not moral virtue, but union with God.” (Connor, 11:25 )

 “You become who you are and who you are meant to be in the measure that you receive your being from Him.” (Connor, 12:15 )

“You’ve been set free as children of God.” (Connor, 12:40 )

“He can be anywhere He wants to be and He wants to be with us.” (Connor quoting Cardinal George, 27:50 )

“God’s desire for us is to be with us.” (Connor, 28:35 )
