Blessed Maria Concepción Cabrera de Armida - The Cross and Love Embrace
The extravagant Queen Christina of Sweden liked to apply the following maxim to herself: “There are people for whom everything is permitted and nothing goes wrong.”1 Analysing the axiom as a rule of conduct, common sense would certainly correct the queen’s presumption… But viewed in the horizons of Faith, it …

St. Francis de Sales - To Love God Without Measure
When the twenty-six-year-old priest set off for the province of Chablais – a region now divided between France and Switzerland – perhaps not even the most optimistic of men could have foreseen what would result from his activity.

St. Leonard of Port Maurice - “To die with sword in hand against hell”
The sacred edifice was packed to hear that great preacher. Clothed in the brown tunic of the sons of St. Francis, few knew that hidden underneath it was a cilice that he wore day and night. His facial features denoted austerity, but his eyes and the tone he gave to …

Blessed Camillus Costanzo - The Angel of the Rising Sun
The wood crackled and gradually the flames rose. For a moment, everything seemed to indicate that the supreme sacrifice was over and the victim had been consumed on the infamous scaffold. But it was enough for the flames to die down briefly to contemplate the contrast between the dense smoke …

Blessed Suzanne-Agathe Deloye - “Happy are those whose way is blameless”
Seven kilometres from the town of Orange, in the south of France, is the small Chapel of Gabet.
