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.

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

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

St. Lutgardis of Aywières - Conquered by Divine Love from Childhood

In the distant year of 1182, a little girl with bright and lively eyes was born into a family in Tongres, a town in Belgium, and she was christened Lutgardis. As her personality developed, she showed a remarkable appetite for the supernatural life and an almost experiential sense of God’s …

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, …

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.

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 …

St. James the Less, Apostle and Bishop of Jerusalem - Mirror of Christ

Orphanhood is one of the most terrible sufferings a man can endure. Something similar to this excruciating hardship undoubtedly assailed the Apostles when Our Lord ascended to Heaven.
