{"title":"📚 Ven. Matt Talbot","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"30\" data-end=\"569\"\u003eVenerable Matt Talbot was an Irish layman whose life is a powerful witness to repentance, discipline, and Eucharistic devotion. After struggling with severe alcoholism in his youth, he made a firm resolution at age 28 to give up drink and dedicate his life to God. Living quietly in Dublin as a laborer, he embraced daily Mass, frequent confession, fasting, prayer, and acts of hidden charity. His transformation from addiction to deep holiness has made him a model of hope for those battling substance abuse and seeking spiritual renewal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"571\" data-end=\"822\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"571\" data-end=\"581\"\u003eLived:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 2, 1856 – June 7, 1925 | \u003cstrong data-start=\"611\" data-end=\"625\"\u003eFeast Day:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 7 (liturgical observance varies) | \u003cstrong data-start=\"666\" data-end=\"689\"\u003eDeclared Venerable:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 3, 1975, by Pope St. Paul VI\u003cbr data-start=\"726\" data-end=\"729\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"729\" data-end=\"743\"\u003ePatronage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Those struggling with alcoholism, addiction recovery, and sobriety movements\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"matttalbot-venerable-holycard","title":"Venerable Matt Talbot Holy Card","description":"\u003cp\u003eDetails\u003cbr\u003eSaint Matt Talbot laminated Holy Card.\u003cbr\u003eArtwork by Fratelli Bonella.\u003cbr\u003ePrayer to Venerable Matt Talbot Patron for help overcoming alcoholism on the back.\u003cbr\u003eCard size: 2.5\" x 4.5\" (64mm x 114mm) 2-1\/2\" x 4-1\/2\".\u003cbr\u003eMade in Italy\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hirten","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45092428841204,"sku":"E24862","price":0.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0698\/2080\/9460\/files\/4c3133ff23723296b7cc2ce8428907a4024cb9e1.jpg?v=1714254342"},{"product_id":"venerable-matt-talbot-holy-card-patron-of-those-who-suffer-from-alcoholism","title":"Venerable Matt Talbot Holy Card Patron Of Those Who Suffer From Alcoholism","description":null,"brand":"Lumen Mundi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45092513120500,"sku":"HCH80MTE","price":1.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0698\/2080\/9460\/files\/attachment--17.jpg?v=1714256703"}],"url":"https:\/\/stanthonyshop.com\/collections\/ven-matt-talbot.oembed","provider":"St. Anthony's Catholic Gift Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
