Sinners and Saints
7 Episodes
Oscar Wilde, the renowned and sinful Irish playwright, penned “Every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future.” To that end, Wilde’s profound deathbed conversion to the Roman Catholic faith surely helped him ultimately traverse the “narrow path” to the Kingdom of Heaven. In view of the sinful lives lived by numerous saints, we must take heart that if those sinners can become saints, we can become saints too. In fact, we must become saints, and we must help each other to do so. The “Sinners and Saints Show” seeks to provide inspiring witness to God’s loving and merciful existence and persistence in our broken lives. Our show hopes to serve as a humble Simon of Cyrene on your Way of the Cross.
