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. A naturalistic and distracted gaze could consider it as just another monument of piety, among the countless forgotten ones that exist throughout Europe. The reality, however, is different. It is a precious …

St. Crispin of Viterbo - He Lived Happily and Died Content

“Rejoice in the Lord, O you righteous” (Ps 32:1); “Happy are those whose way is blameless, who walk in the law of the Lord!” (Ps 119:1). These and many other teachings of the Psalms can be cited to show how virtue and true joy always go hand in hand. The …

St. Damien de Veuster - Father and Servant to the Lepers

Throughout history, the scourge of leprosy has been one of the most expressive symbols of misery, desolation and abandonment. To this day, few misfortunes have equalled the disgrace provoked by this disease, which medical records of every time and place register with drastic descriptions which even the most vivid imaginations …

St. Mary Euphrasia Pelletier - Isthmus Leading to Divine Mercy

The island of Noirmoutier emerges like the prow of a ship from the waters of the Atlantic Ocean, not far from the mouth of the Loire River. The island is separated from the continent by a narrow sea channel. In 1770 it was found that it could be reached by …

St. Remigius of Rheims - Patriarch of a New Era

On March 16, 455, Emperor Valentinian III succumbed to the blows of two soldiers from the Imperial Guard, on the Field of Mars. With his death, the Theodosian dynasty perished, the last line to reign over Rome, hastening the end of a declining Empire. For a further twenty years the …

St. Claude de La Colombière - Faithful Servant and Perfect Friend of the Sacred Heart

In the year 1675, a new superior was assigned to the Jesuit house in Paray-le-Monial. Being also designated as the extraordinary confessor of the nearby Visitation nuns, he went to pay a visit to the superior, Mother de Saumaise, placing himself at the disposal of the convent. The superior presented …

St. Robert Bellarmine, SJ - A Jesuit Cardinal

In his will, he had requested a simple funeral—befitting a member of the Company of Jesus—but Pope Gregory XV wished to add pomp and splendour to the burial rites of the Cardinal who had done so much good for the Church of Christ. He was clothed in the red vestments …

St. Aloysius Gonzaga - “The God Who Calls Me Is Love”

“How are you doing, Brother Aloysius?” Father Provincial asked, as he entered the sick man’s room. “I’m on the way, Father.” “On the way to where?” “To Heaven... If my sins do not prevent me, I hope, by God’s mercy, to go there.” This was the state of spirit of …

St. Odile of Alsace - Blind to Herself, an Eagle for God

The souls who beheld the Saints of the High Middle Ages, whose supernatural sights were far more penetrating than ours, lived immersed in faith. The spiritual and the earthly were intermingled harmoniously in their hearts, giving rise to stories of marvellous events, but whose concrete details could at times be …

Sr. Marcela Beorlegui - 30, November 2020

Blessed Raphael Arnáiz Barón - The Heroism of Total Anonymity

His great feat in life was accepting the apparent ruin of his aspirations, conforming himself entirely to the divine will. He was nothing in the eyes of men, but he was a great saint in the eyes of God, who judges the heart and not appearances. A person’s fulfillment is …
