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.

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 …

St. Genevieve - Shield and Glory of Christian Civilization

It was the year 423, a troubled time, sown with wars and invasions, when a dying civilization was emitting its last gasps.1 The Roman Empire, once almost indestructible, threatened to collapse under the furore of the barbarian invasions. Between treaties and military manoeuvres, it had achieved another period of peace; …

St. Adelaide - Empress by Grace… and Audacity!
