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.

St. Zechariah - A Devotee of Our Lady

Among Catholics today, interest in learning about the lives of the Saints has grown significantly. However, those who investigate the biography of the members of the nascent Catholic Church – not those of the first centuries, but of the first years and decades, those who lived with Jesus – are …

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

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

Venerable Pio Bruno Lanteri - Cunning as a Serpent…

St. Odile of Alsace - Blind to Herself, an Eagle for God

The souls who beheld the Saints of the High Middle Ages, whose supernatural sights were far more penetrating than ours, lived immersed in faith.
