“The Saints” creator, executive producer and director Matt Leshem, and project collaborator Father James Martin, spoke with The Good Newsroom about the docuseries produced by legendary filmmaker Martin Scorsese, who also hosts and narrates the series which explores the lives and legacies of eight courageous saints in each episode.

With each episode focusing on a single saint, including Joan of Arc, John the Baptist, Sebastian, Maximilian Kolbe, Francis of Assisi, Thomas Becket, Mary Magdalene and Moses the Black, Scorsese traces more than 2,000 years of history, focusing on these extraordinary figures and their extreme acts of kindness, altruism and sacrifice.

"Concédeme conocer mejor qué es lo que me mueve, para rechazar aquello que me aleja de Cristo, y así más amarlo y servirlo", dice el papa de oración.

"Grant me a deeper understanding of what moves me, so that I may reject what draws me away from Christ, and love him and serve him more fully," the Pope's prayer said.
