Saints in a Year Day 6: St. Leonard of Noblac

Today’s episode explores the powerful life and miracles of St. Leonard of Noblac, a humble hermit whose holiness brought freedom, healing, and hope to countless people. Known for liberating prisoners, aiding women in labor, and interceding for the suffering, St. Leonard is one of the most miraculous early saints in the Church.

In this episode, we walk through 7 cool facts about his life from his baptism alongside King Clovis to the chains that miraculously broke at his prayers, to the monastery he founded that became a major pilgrimage site for centuries. His whole life points to the truth that Christ came to set captives free, both physically and spiritually.

Leonard’s story challenges us to look at what binds us fear, sin, anxiety, and addiction and to ask Christ for the freedom only He can give.

🙏 Closing Prayer

St. Leonard of Noblac, patron of prisoners and protector of the suffering,
pray for all of us who feel trapped or bound in our lives.
Help us seek the freedom Christ offers and give us the courage to help others find that same freedom.
Pray for us.
