Part 2 of 'Martin Scorsese Presents: The Saints' returns on Fox Nation for Easter season
Part 2 of the hit series will premiere with an episode focusing on the story of Saint Francis of Assisi, a beloved Catholic saint who is remembered for his humility, service to the poor and love of animals.
Viewers will learn about the remarkable story of how Francis went from being a wealthy man to leaving behind his possessions to serve God after a life-changing experience witnessing the horrors of war.
"Francis puts aside his old life of frivolity and searches for new meaning," a preview of the episode says. "He finds it in a command from Jesus himself – to 'rebuild my church.' Francis spends the rest of his life following that command, in the process starting a brotherhood, preaching on how to live like Christ, and even ending face-to-face with the Saracen leader Sultan Al-Kamil at the height of the Fifth Crusade."

"The Saints" culminates during Holy Week, telling the story of Mary Magdalene who suffered "great spiritual affliction" until she met Jesus, who healed her.
"After Jesus cures her of seven demons, Mary becomes one of his closest followers," a preview of the episode explains. "She travels with Jesus and supports him, witnessing the growth of his ministry, his miracles, and eventually his crucifixion. But her most important role is as the witness to Jesus's resurrection – where she is tasked with spreading the word to the world of Jesus's resurrection, overcoming doubters to become an important herald of early Christianity."

Justin Bieber says he doesn't deserve to be forgiven in emotional Instagram post
Justin Bieber is crediting his faith to getting through each day. On Tuesday, the "Daisies" singer, 31, took to Instagram to share his gratitude for Jesus and explain why he doesn't feel that he deserves "forgiveness and love." "grateful for a new day," he captioned the post. "grateful for Jesus. he meets me every morning with forgiveness and love that I truly don't deserve." "so grateful that he gives this love so freely, so graciously," he continued. "Wouldn't be able to get thru the day without his love," he added. "It meets me at my lowest." Fans were quick to offer their support. "You deserve all the love and grace you receive, more than you know. Keep your head up," one user commented. "You are deserving of his love. Sending you love, strength and prayers! You got this! There's a reason we're here!" another wrote. In recent months, the pop star has expressed his vulnerability through multiple posts on Instagram. In April, Bieber wrote, "I'm just an average flawed guy. I've done things that have hurt others. I continue to do and say things that hurt others unintentionally. Yet I woke up this morning with another opportunity to grow and not be so selfish today." He went on to write, "LOVE DRAWS US IN. LOVE DOESN'T CONDEMN. LOVE BELIEVES THE BEST. LOVE HOPES ALL THINGS AND ENDURES ALL THINGS. IT DOESN'T KEEP RECORD OF WRONG. LOVE HELPS U TO FORGIVE AND LOVE EVEN YOUR ENEMIES." Bieber made another post shortly after that, telling his followers that "Sometimes I think I'm gonna get exposed if I tell people how selfish I am. Like if I admitted that, maybe people wouldn't like me or trust me." The "Baby" singer explained that he felt that if he was honest about feeling selfish, then he would be "disqualified from the dreams I had of being included," but said that the more honest he is about things, the more freedom he has. In another post, Bieber wrote that he "can't control" how he feels when he wakes up each morning, and that in the past "I would find myself even subconsciously blaming god for the bad feeling I woke up with rather than communicate with him and ask him to help me have a change of perspective." In May, Bieber, who recently released his long-awaited seventh studio album, "Swag," made a public apology to his wife, Hailey Bieber, about her Vogue cover. He took to Instagram to share images from Hailey's photo shoot with Vogue. In his caption, he explained that he'd once told her she'd never land the cover of the legendary fashion magazine. "Yo this reminds me when Hailey and I got into a huge fight," he wrote. "I told hails that she would never be on the cover of vogue, Yikes I know, so mean." He continued, "For some reason because I felt so disrespected I thought I gotta get even... I think as we mature we realize that we're not helping anything by getting even. we're honestly just prolonging what we really want which is intimacy and connection." Bieber, who later deleted his caption, finished his post by dedicating a message directly to his wife, and wrote, "So baby u already know but forgive me for saying u wouldn't get a vogue cover cuz clearly i was sadly mistaken."

Madonna Urges Pope Leo To Help The Children Of Gaza 'Before It's Too Late'
Madonna has urged the head of the Catholic church, Pope Leo, to travel to Gaza to help children there affected by the ongoing war. In an Instagram post shared on Monday, the Grammy winner urged her fellow Midwestener: 'Most Holy Father. Please go to Gaza and bring your light to the children before it's too late. As a mother, I cannot bear to watch their suffering. 'The children of the world belong to everyone. You are the only one of us who cannot be denied entry.' She continued: 'We need the humanitarian gates to be fully opened to save these innocent children. There is no more time. Please say you will go.' The Like A Prayer singer signed off her message: 'Love, Madonna.' In the accompanying caption, Madonna explained that she was posting her message on her eldest son Rocco's birthday, because 'I feel the best gift I can give to him as a mother is to ask everyone to do what they can to help save the innocent children caught in the crossfire in Gaza'. 'Politics cannot affect change,' she wrote. 'Only consciousness can. Therefore I am reaching out to a man of God.' Madonna added: 'I am not pointing fingers, placing blame or taking sides. Everyone is suffering. Including the mothers of the hostages. I pray that they are released as well. 'I am merely trying to do what I can to keep these children from dying of starvation.' Pope Leo was appointed in May, and is the first American-born person to hold the title. Last week, he said during mass: 'In communion with Christ, our peace and hope for the world, we are closer than ever to young people who suffer the most serious evils which are caused by other human beings. We are with the young people of Gaza.' His predecessor, Pope Francis, had been in daily contact with the only Catholic church in Gaza prior to his death earlier this year, per ABC News.
