The idea of becoming a saint can often feel distant, overwhelming, and even cliché. Many Catholics long to live virtuous lives, but struggle to see how virtue and holiness can be practically achievable in today’s world. As Catholics, we may know the ideals, but how do we bridge the gap between theory and real-life transformation? “Becoming a Saint: Wisdom from Aquinas to Grow in Virtue” with Dr. Andrew Whitmore offers a refreshing, actionable approach to this age-old pursuit by providing simple, practical strategies drawn from the timeless wisdom of St. Thomas Aquinas. In this course, Dr. Whitmore guides you through the process of cultivating saintly virtue—not as an impossible or lofty goal, but as a path you can start walking today.
