Venerable Therese of St. Augustine - A Carmelite from a Fairy-tale

What most defines the noble is the excellence of their person. By their birth, they are called to guide others and to represent God Himself. Such excellence, however, is imbued with even greater glory when united with the magnanimity of renunciation – so necessary to human existence, especially after being …

St. Catherine of Alexandria - A Wise and Warlike Virgin

“I preferred [wisdom] to sceptres and thrones, and I accounted wealth as nothing in comparison with her. Neither did I liken to her any priceless gem, because all gold is but a little sand in her sight, and silver will be accounted as clay before her. I loved her more …

St. Matthew, Apostle and Evangelist - Confiscated by the Lord

St. Matthew, Apostle and Evangelist - Confiscated by the Lord

It is proper to a foundation to support the building without being considered or even seen; although indispensable, it remains hidden. The foundations of the Church are the twelve Apostles (cf. Rv 21:14), whose exceptional virtue has moved the devotion of Catholics of all times. However, if the magnitude of …

Venerable Pio Bruno Lanteri - Cunning as a Serpent…

The absence of creativity is one of the most characteristic features of the devil’s work. In fact, if you analyse history with a keen eye, you can see how, over the centuries, the onslaughts of the power of darkness against good have been countless, but always similar in their substance …

St. Joachim and St. Anne, Parents of Our Lady - By Their Fruit You Shall Know Them

St. Joachim and St. Anne, Parents of Our Lady - By Their Fruit You Shall Know Them

The Old Testament can well be considered a sublime preparation for the Incarnation of the Word. When we place Our Lord Jesus Christ at the centre of human events, we truly understand history, because this is how God conceives it: in an architectonic and hierarchical manner, with His Only-begotten Son …

“Look, Margaret!” From a barred window in the Tower of London, Sir Thomas More called to his daughter to witness the scene: five priests – John Haile, a secular clergyman, Richard Reynolds, a Brigittine monk and renowned theologian, and three Carthusian priors, John Houghton, Robert Lawrence and Augustine Webster, clad …

St. Hermann Joseph - A Second Joseph

St. Hermann Joseph - A Second Joseph

How would the elevated and respectful relationship between St. Joseph and Our Lady have been? How often did the Holy Patriarch see the Queen of the Universe inclining herself before him to serve him, and accept her services! As if that were not enough, his immaculate Spouse took counsel with …

St. Stephen Harding - The Story of a Rebel Monk

St. Stephen Harding - The Story of a Rebel Monk

The story of a rebellious monk, and a saint? In fact, not just one, but three. These monks led an escape from the monastery, bringing many with them. Where did they go? To take refuge in a swamp and start all over again… “What madness!” you might think. Yes, dear …
