St. Agnes of Montepulciano - Abbess, Mystic and Wonderworker

In paging through the biographies of the Saints, we are amazed at the different ways in which the Holy Spirit acts to bring souls to a complete and definitive union with God. While some, like St. Paul, are shaken by a resounding fall and called to a radical conversion only …

St. Columban - “To this day the earth shines from his radiance”

Almost unknown to the European continent until the end of the fourth century, Ireland was profoundly Christianized after the evangelization began there by St. Patrick. The extraordinary flourishing of religious life in these lands earned it the nickname Isle of the Saints. From the beginning of the sixth century, countless …

St. Hedwig - Destined for Combat and Victory

The meaning of the name Hedwig indicates a woman destined for “combat and victory.” A duchess of fine features and delicate bearing, she lived up to this signification, for she took up the struggle of resignation in the face of God’s designs and bravely faced the sufferings that devastated her …

Seven Holy Founders of the Servites - A Robust and Lush Tree

The task of telling the story of a founder is akin to the work of a botanist trying to describe the origin of a centuries-old tree. He can easily observe the flavour of the fruit, the splendour of the leaves, the strength of the branches, but… how can he penetrate …

St. Luke the Evangelist - A Marian and Crystalline Soul, Fruit of Admiration

When biographical accounts of a saint are not plentiful, turning to his works and their fruits is a sure-fire way to make great discoveries about his person. In the case of St. Luke, the piety of the faithful would like to know who his parents were, how he spent his …

St. Otto of Bamberg - From Lucifer’s Chancellor to Christ’s Ambassador

Never in history has there been a more skilful lawyer than Our Lord Jesus Christ. Among the utterances of the Divine Master, some seem to have been specially crafted with an artist’s chisel or weighed with a pharmacist’s scale, such is the precision of the message they convey and the …

Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich – Spouse of Christ Crucified

With what devotion we should attend Holy Mass! In this sublime Sacrament, the Sacrifice of Calvary is renewed and Jesus makes Himself present every day in the Sacred Species, wherever in the world a priest pronounces the words: “This is my Body,” “This is the chalice of my Blood.” Thus, …

Another Elijah

St. Elisha, who is he? The father and master of the prophets of Mount Carmel. The preacher who multiplied the loaves. The man whom bears obeyed, and who ruled over the kings of his time. The seer for whom the future held no mystery. The most miraculous of the prophets. …

St. John Ogilvie - Martyr of the Faith, of the Papacy and of Priestly Celibacy

In 1580, Scotland found itself at a crossroads: its Catholic history, personified in the controversial figure of a queen imprisoned for her faith, Mary Stuart, confronted a turbulent present, agitated by the waves of John Knox’s political and religious revolution. What would the future hold? This dilemma was well symbolized …

Venerable María Teresa González-Quevedo y Cadarso – Teresita, Living Tabernacle of Mary

In the firmament of the Holy Church, certain stars seem to shine exclusively for God. There are, of course, vocations that have become known for the feats witnessed by all; others, however, go almost unnoticed in the pages of history, because their mission consisted of glorifying the Creator in the …
