A Tower Touching Heaven

A man was seated with his elbows on his knees and his chin propped on his hand. It was a fairly common pose, generally speaking, but still a little unusual for a bishop… especially one in the Kingdom of Heaven! “Augustine, you look so thoughtful. Tell me, what happened?” “Oh, …

The Crystal Pendant

Long ago, in a small German village, lived a poor farmwoman named Annamarie. The birth of her first daughter gladdened her immensely, but her joy was soon tinged by sadness, for the baby was found to be blind. Afflicted, the good mother fervently implored Our Lady’s intercession, and a stunning …

A Threatening Snowball

The little town of Höhenlagen was surrounded by a world of whiteness: high, snow-covered mountains, which on sunny days reflected the light with dazzling splendour, seeming like an apparition of Angel hosts.

The Forest Fire

A Good Mother… and an Apple!

“Apples! Apples! Beautiful red apples! Of every size, large, medium and small! Sweet and crisp! Beautiful red apples! Apples!” cried Lucas. Poor fellow! He spoke of the beauty of his apples without ever having seen them, for he was blind from birth. Years ago, he had enjoyed the collaboration of …
