These missions are messages for us right now.<\/h2>\n<p>In a nutshell, the Church gives us saints in each century for a specific reason: to help us have tangible examples of holiness from our cultures. As much as we love the saints great and small from history, the saints from our time are\u00a0<em>ours<\/em>.\u00a0<strong>They\u2019re meant for us.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>They walked our streets, saw our headlines, thought about similar futures, lived through the same World Wars. Modern models of holiness.<\/p>\n<p>This is the challenge that our \u2018Modern Saints\u2019 event seeks to answer; what is the \u2018certain aspect of the Gospel\u2019 that the saints lived? If we don\u2019t know, then we won\u2019t understand the \u2018point\u2019 of the saints\u2019 lives.<\/p>\n<h2>Most Catholics like you and me are struggling just to get by.<\/h2>\n<p>We punch in to Mass on Sundays (usually!), donate to Peter\u2019s Pence, and hit \u2018like\u2019 for the parish live stream.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Life in Christ\u2019 doesn\u2019t mean much to us.<\/p>\n<p>So it\u2019s strange when the Pope gets excited to tell us that some of us Catholics made it to Heaven.<\/p>\n<p>Some surprising men and women fought hard against popular influences, demonic temptation, and their own weaknesses, and made it through. They allowed the living, bursting life of God to fill every cell of their being. And when they passed, they entered a deeper, richer, wilder life \u2013 Heaven.<\/p>\n<p>Every single one of us is called to live that same life of holiness, whether in Bangladesh, Boston, or Brisbane.<\/p>\n<p>Every human being is called to plug into Christ\u00a0<em>right now<\/em>. To literally\u00a0<em>go online<\/em>\u00a0with Heaven. That\u2019s the definition of sainthood \u2013 someone who \u2018got it\u2019, and checked in to what \u2018holiness\u2019 means.<\/p>\n<p><strong>But there\u2019s another problem.<\/strong>\u00a0Holiness usually sounds like being weak, flippant, and petty. But the lives of our saints don\u2019t show that. They were powerful. Exciting. Challenging. Troubling. Confusing. Welcoming.<\/p>\n<p>They were truly alive.<\/p>\n<p>We are called to this same kind of exciting, passionate, life. Called to be unlikely, surprising heroes. Each of us has a unique and individual path, with our own skills and interests, and dreams.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Just like the saints, you and I have a mission.<\/strong>\u00a0The very fact that we\u2019re alive and privileged to be baptized into Christ means we were born with a job to do. A job that is\u00a0<em>the only way we will find holiness<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>But if you\u2019re like me, and most of us, we\u00a0<strong>need to find out what that mission is<\/strong>. We need to hear these saints\u2019 stories in a way that\u2019s relatable to who we are today.<\/p>\n<p>And the best people to learn from are the ones who made it to Heaven ahead of us.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;2_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; background_color=&#8221;rgba(90,68,54,0.95)&#8221; use_background_color_gradient=&#8221;on&#8221; background_color_gradient_direction=&#8221;109deg&#8221; background_color_gradient_stops=&#8221;#AF3B49 0%|#C53733 100%&#8221; background_color_gradient_start=&#8221;#AF3B49&#8243; background_color_gradient_end=&#8221;#C53733&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;2em|2em|2em|2em|true|true&#8221; border_radii=&#8221;on|4px|4px|4px|4px&#8221; box_shadow_style=&#8221;preset3&#8243; box_shadow_blur=&#8221;55px&#8221; box_shadow_color=&#8221;rgba(182,31,72,0.38)&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; ul_line_height=&#8221;1.9em&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;27px&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;dark&#8221; header_2_font_size_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; header_2_font_size_phone=&#8221;22px&#8221; header_2_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>Today, our recent saints are examples to us of how we should be.\u00a0<em>Right now<\/em>.<\/h2>\n<p>This is what the conference aims to show us.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What does it mean to be a saint today?<\/li>\n<li>How do the saints of the last 100 years show us sanctity with a smartphone?<\/li>\n<li>With international travel and Instagram trends?<\/li>\n<li>With gang warfare, government pressure, and Twitter?<\/li>\n<li>With broken families and young love and social media?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe saints surprise us, they confound us, because by their lives they urge us to abandon a dull and dreary mediocrity.\u201d Pope Francis<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_row disabled_on=&#8221;off|off|off&#8221; module_id=&#8221;workbook&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||0px|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;61px&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; max_width=&#8221;644px&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; header_2_font_size_tablet=&#8221;46px&#8221; header_2_font_size_phone=&#8221;40px&#8221; header_2_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>Event Workbook<\/h2>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/smartcatholics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/workbook-splash.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Download the Workbook&#8221; url=&#8221;https:\/\/smartcatholics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Modern-Saints-Workbook_compressed.pdf&#8221; url_new_window=&#8221;on&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; max_width=&#8221;931px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;https:\/\/smartcatholics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Modern-Saints-Workbook_compressed.pdf&#8221; url_new_window=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text=&#8221;Download Workbook&#8221; button_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row disabled_on=&#8221;off|off|off&#8221; module_id=&#8221;schedule&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||0px|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;61px&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; max_width=&#8221;644px&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; header_2_font_size_tablet=&#8221;46px&#8221; header_2_font_size_phone=&#8221;40px&#8221; header_2_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>Schedule of Events<\/h2>\n<p>Your $10 access pass lets you watch all these videos during the conference.

Modern models of holiness.<\/p><blockquote><p>Each saint is a mission, planned by the Father to reflect and embody, at a specific moment in history, a certain aspect of the Gospel. <a href=\"http:\/\/w2.vatican.va\/content\/francesco\/en\/apost_exhortations\/documents\/papa-francesco_esortazione-ap_20180319_gaudete-et-exsultate.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pope Francis<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote><p>This is the challenge that our 'Modern Saints' event seeks to answer; what is the 'certain aspect of the Gospel' that the saints lived? If we don't know, then we won't understand the 'point' of the saints' lives.<\/p><p>Keep reading below for more details. But here\u2019s where I need your help.<\/p><p>Before I finalize all my speakers and schedule out all the dates, I want to be sure I\u2019ve covered everything.<\/p><p>This is where you come in.<\/p><h2>Please take just a minute to answer me this short question: what are your top questions about the saints today, and being Catholic today, that we absolutely NEED to answer in this event?<\/h2><p>Drop your questions in the comments right here.<\/p><hr \/><div id=\"fd-form-5f3af85d04be4300267c1430\">\u00a0<\/div><p><script>\r\n  window.fd('form', {\r\n    formId: '5f3af85d04be4300267c1430',\r\n    containerEl: '#fd-form-5f3af85d04be4300267c1430'\r\n  });\r\n<\/script><\/p><hr \/><h2>About the Event<\/h2><p>Most Catholics like you and me are struggling just to get by. We punch in to Mass on Sundays (usually!), donate to Peter's Pence, and hit 'like' for the parish live stream.<\/p><p>'Life in Christ' doesn't mean much to us.<\/p><p>So it's strange when the Pope gets excited to tell us that some of us Catholics made it to Heaven.<\/p><p>Some surprising men and women fought hard against popular influences, demonic temptation, and their own weaknesses, and made it through. They allowed the living, bursting life of God to fill every cell of their being. And when they passed, they entered a deeper, richer, wilder life - Heaven.<\/p><p>Every single one of us is called to live that same life of holiness, whether in Bangladesh, Boston, or Brisbane.<\/p><p>Every human being is called to plug into Christ <em>right now<\/em>. To literally <em>go online<\/em> with Heaven. That's the definition of sainthood - someone who 'got it', and checked in to what 'holiness' means.<\/p><p><strong>But there's another problem.<\/strong> Holiness usually sounds like being weak, flippant, and petty. But the lives of our saints don't show that. They were powerful. Exciting. Challenging. Troubling. Confusing. Welcoming.<\/p><p>They were truly alive.<\/p><p>We are called to this same kind of exciting, passionate, life. Called to be unlikely, surprising heroes. Each of us has a unique and individual path, with our own skills and interests, and dreams.<\/p><h2>Today, our recent saints are examples to us of how we should be. <em>Right now<\/em>.<\/h2><p>This is what the conference aims to show us.<\/p><ul><li>What does it mean to be a saint today?<\/li><li>How do the saints of the last 100 years show us sanctity with a smartphone?<\/li><li>With international travel and Instagram trends?<\/li><li>With gang warfare, government pressure, and Twitter?<\/li><li>With broken families and young love and social media?<\/li><\/ul><blockquote><p>\u201cThe saints surprise us, they confound us, because by their lives they urge us to abandon a dull and dreary mediocrity.\u201d Pope Francis<\/p><\/blockquote><p><strong>Just like the saints,\u00a0 you and I have a mission.<\/strong> The very fact that we're alive and privileged to be baptized into Christ means we were born with a job to do. A job that is <em>the only way we will find holiness<\/em>.<\/p><p>But if you're like me, and most of us, we <strong>need to find out what that mission is<\/strong>. We need to hear these saints' stories in a way that's relatable to who we are today.<\/p><p>And the best people to learn from are the ones who made it to Heaven ahead of us.<\/p><p>What do you think?
