Highlights from this episode of American Catholic Radio include:
Saint of the Day
St. Nicholas is a real-life saint who, over the centuries, was transformed into a secular icon of Christmas. We offer the true story of Santa Claus.
Living Faith
National Public Radio's Heather King tells her personal story, which took her from alcoholism to Catholicism. Her most recent book, Redeemed: A Spiritual Misfit Stumbles Toward God, Marginal Sanity, and the Peace That Passes All Understanding, is the story of her ongoing conversion to Catholicism. Heather believes that faith and the arts have a vital role to play in reviving today's world.
Ask a Franciscan
Father Hilarion Kistner, O.F.M., responds to questions: Who wrote the books of the Old Testament? Didn't God know beforehand that Adam and Eve would sin? What is meant by blasphemy against the Holy Spirit?
Minute Meditation
This program’s Minute Meditation is from “Heaven,” written and read by Ursuline Sister Bridget Haase from her book Well Said: Children's Words of Wisdom, published by St. Anthony Messenger Press.
Portrait of Paul
Ephesus
In observance of the Year of St. Paul, we bring you another “Portrait of Paul” from Father Norman Langenbrunner. Paul's third missionary journey included a three-year stay in Ephesus. Even today, in western Turkey, you can visit the well-preserved site of this ancient port city. Perhaps the stones still remember the footprints of Paul, and his ministry there.

Exploring Our Faith
Amy Heyd, author of Saints at the Dinner Table (recently published by St. Anthony Messenger Press), offers both recipes and lives of the saints to inspire. A graduate of the University of Dayton, Amy has been a finalist in many cooking contests, including the Pillsbury Bake-Off, which in turn published her award-winning recipe in 100 Pillsbury Bake-Off Finalist Recipes. She spoke with producer John Feister about seasonal cooking.
