St. Gregory VII - The Pope Who Overcame the World

A unique scene was unfolding in the fortress of Canossa, in the north of the Italian Peninsula. Three days had passed since a miserable man dressed in penitential sackcloth, barefoot in the snow and fasting from morning until night, loudly pleaded on his knees to enter the innermost part of …

St. Peter of Verona - “Tower of Integrity and Fortitude, Paladin of the Faith”

It was the 13th century and the noble Lady was ill; pestilential worms were proliferating inside her and threatening to take over her entire body. But she could not die. Who would come to her rescue? Like a remedy drawn from the poison itself, God would bring forth from the …

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 …

St. Pius V - Ardent Defender of the Truth

The pale moonlight illuminated the rooftops of the Eternal City, which silently slept. A peculiar procession of men and women of the most varied ages and conditions was advancing through the dark streets: priests, monks and nuns, nobles and peasants. They were hurrying to cover the last stretch of the …

Blessed Michael Rua - The Victory of Don Bosco

The continuation and perpetuity of a Religious Order depends to a great extent on the actions of its members and their fidelity towards the person chosen by the Holy Spirit to establish a new charism in the Church. Accordingly, throughout the history of foundations, God does not fail to raise …

Blessed Eugénie Joubert - Friend of the Heart of Jesus

To manifest His love for us, the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity became incarnate, lavishing the infinite treasures of His Sacred Heart upon mankind. And, not stopping at this, He has raised up chosen souls over the course of history, of whom He makes the living receptacles of this …

St. John Baptist de La Salle - The Jordan of Grace

Man’s life is like the field grasses that fourish in the morning but wither away in the evening; its memory passes like a garment that is changed (cf. Ps 90:6; 102:26). But there are those who leave an indelible wake behind them, marking the centuries: the Saints. And among this …

St. Rose of Viterbo - Mercy and Intransigence Flowing from Ardent Love

“Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes …

Blessed Humbeline of Jully - To Love Is to Serve… Always Smiling!

In the long-ago 12th century, in Burgundy, France, there lived a noble family made up of Tescelin, lord of Fontaines, his wife, the pious Aléthe, and their seven children: Guy, Gerard, Bernard – who would become the great abbot of Clairvaux –, Humbeline, André, Barthélémy and Nivard. In the castle …
