I grew up listening to Regina Martyrun Production stories, and St. Philomena was my absolute favorite. Back when cassettes were a thing, I wore out my copy of Daughter of Light and had to get a new one. All of the stories had such an impact on my spiritual formation - I grew up firmly knowing that the saints were my siblings in Christ who wanted nothing but Heaven for me. I am so pleased that I'll be able to share these stories with my own children! My other favorites were Ondessonk and St. Thecla and the Lions, but honestly all of them were really good.
Great story for young and old. Our family loves to listen to saint stories and St. Isaac Jogues was a great one! Full of action and adventure and the real story of the saint. Very worthwhile!
We all loved it!! We purchased "The Day the Angels Fell" for Michaelmas. We all listened to it while eating are devil's food cake cupcake snack! Each and every child and adult, ages 6-48, loved it. It kept us all engrossed. We will definitely buy another saint story! Highly recommend!!
This story of St. Monica and St. Augustine interested all of us at table. It was the perfect length to listen during two lunches. The acting is beautifully narrated while the characters tell the story of St. Monica of Hippo, originally of Tagaste, even using quotes from her son's book, The Confessions of St. Augustine. The first half of the story covers Monica's life, praying and sacrificing for the conversion of her husband and, long years later, her son St. Augustine of Hippo. Hers was a devoted life hoping and praying for their baptism in the Catholic faith. The recording uses several St. Augustine quotes that show that from a pious childhood he entered school still un-baptized and it would be many years of bad association before he eventually desired baptism. There are several St. Augustine quotations about his pursuits like, "I sought with pride what only humility could make me find." "Fool that I was I left the nest. Imagining myself able to fly, I fell to the ground." Monica's prayers carry her through the sorrows of having a brilliant but wayward son filled with Manichean errors, where reason ruled and man was not responsible for sin. One thing I especially appreciate is that the actress speaking as St. Monica really does seem to hope for her son's salvation. She plays a most convincing part. These two saints are an encouraging model for parents and grandparents to persevere in prayer. Real people who persevered to become real saints. Enjoy!
Wonderful! My family enjoyed this story so much and learning about Our Lady and Juan Diego and how they were real people too and Our Lady is so kind and understanding to poor Juan Diego who so honest and pure hearted like a child. It was so enjoyable to listen to and learn about. The kiddos really enjoyed it and followed along great and the length was perfect for them!
You will listen to it over and over! We love the story of St. Magnus. All my kids both girls and boys, ages 9,7, and 4 love the story. It is exciting and intriguing. This was our first purchase and we cannot wait to purchase more stories. They are great for in the car or during quiet time. Well done! I would highly recommend this story!
Great Story of a Great Saint! My kids liked this inspiring story of St. Gerard's life.
Brilliant! I have been buying stories from here for the last few years and they never disappoint me..we all enjoy them and listen to them over and over again! I only wish new stories would be added...
Good history and story! My four children and I listened to this during lunch and it was one of the quietest meals I've enjoyed in a long time! :) It was great to learn some very interesting history about ancient Rome and the Christians that lived in it all interwoven into a great saint story!
Captivating! We have downloaded 4 stories (so far!) and the whole family has been so captivated by them all. The stories of the Saints are beautiful and inspiring on their own ,but with the addition of all the fantastic sounds and music , we travel through time to join them. Very exciting way to learn the Saints .We can't wait to experience them all!
The Gospel brought to life! I listened to this story during Lent, which is a great time to study and contemplate the public life of Our Lord, culminating in His Passion (although ANY time is a good time to consider the Gospels and the lessons that they teach). I really liked that this story was told in the first person. It reminded me that the people spoken of in the Gospels were REAL PEOPLE just like us, with families and lives and human concerns. It brought this particular story to life for me and helped me to think of the other accounts in the Gospel in a more vivid, real-to-life way. Great for kids and adults alike during lunch, in the car, right before bedtime, while folding laundry, or anytime you have 20-30 minutes to spare between activities and duties.
What a beautiful and inspiring tale! I purchased this on a whim when the kids were sick. They LOVED it. We listened to the first half one day and the next they were begging for more. What an inspirational tale to lift the little hearts of our children! I'll be ordering more!
Loved it! This was our second purchase from Regina Martyrum and we loved it! The children liked how St. Patrick used the power of prayer to defeat the enemies. I liked that I learned some things about St. Patrick, too!
Beautiful Heroism A beautiful story about a young girl's courage to be a good Catholic woman and having to run for her life to do so! Our kids were inspired as were my husband and I after listening to it! Thank you Regina Martyrum.
A Catholic Child's Dream! We have five young children and they absolutely love these stories. They want to listen to them again and again. They do a wonderful job of fostering devotion to the saints. As a parent, I was overjoyed to see them playing with their toys and re-enacting stories of the saints they had heard. Thank you! and please keep making even more lives of the saints available in these entertaining and inspiring productions.
We have been purchasing stories for the last few years and we all, big and small, greatly enjoy them! :-) I only wished there were new titles being released.
Inspiration and Moving! My kids and my husband and I loved listening to this wonderful story about St. Catherine Laboure! We never knew how the miraculous medal came about and how important it really is and how Our Lady appeared to St. Catherine and they talked for HOURS like old friends. This story is so amazing and wonderful and engaging and inspiring I felt like I got to know so much more about Our Lady!
My six children and I all listened to this during lunch and it was one of the quietest meals I've enjoyed in a long time! :) It was a nice way to spend the Saint's day and to learn some very interesting history about ancient Rome and the Christians that lived in it. Characters, dates, geography....it's all there!!
Our family loved this story! The kids keep asking to listen to it and others that RMP has released. This one is especially great for the younger kids as it is short and easy for them to understand. Well done!
It Is Worth Every Minute! This story, like many of the others is full of information. Being one of the older stories I do not think that I could be more satisfied.
