About this listen

 What if doubt isn’t the enemy of faith, but the doorway to deeper understanding? Saints and Skeptics takes you beyond surface-level answers into thoughtful conversations at the crossroads of Catholicism, history, philosophy, and real-world skepticism. Whether you believe, question, or wrestle with both, this is the podcast that isn’t afraid to tackle what others avoid.Copyright Michael Ryan Spirituality

    To follow along:

    Hail, holy Queen, Mother of mercy, our life, our sweetness and our hope. To you do we cry, poor banished children of Eve. To you do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn, then, O most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this, our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.

    Pray for us, O holy Mother of God.

    That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

    Amen.

    St. Michael the Archangel,
    defend us in battle.
    Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the Devil.
    May God rebuke him, we humbly pray,
    and do thou,
    O Prince of the heavenly hosts,
    by the power of God,
    thrust into hell Satan,
    and all the evil spirits,
    who prowl about the world
    seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

  • [Prayer Series] A Prayer For Peace

    [Prayer Series] A Prayer For Peace
    Jun 19 2025
    Saints & Skeptics Prayer Series - A Prayer For Peace (Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi)

    Recited five times.

    To follow along:

    Lord, make me an instrument of your peace:
    where there is hatred, let me sow love;
    where there is injury, pardon;
    where there is doubt, faith;
    where there is despair, hope;
    where there is darkness, light;
    where there is sadness, joy.
    O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
    to be consoled as to console,
    to be understood as to understand,
    to be loved as to love.
    For it is in giving that we receive,
    it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
    and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
