Raising Saints
Isaac Jogues, First American Martyr
Do you know what Isaac Jogues loved more than his fingers? Jesus, and Jesus’ people whom he was sent to serve. The very people who ate his fingers. Do you know what Isaac Jogues loved more than his own life? Jesus, and Jesus’ people whom he was sent to serve. The very people who put a tomahawk to his head.
Let Nothing Disturb You
St. Teresa of Avila’s beautiful prayer and advice is so simple but so very difficult in my everyday life.
The Martyrs and the Macabre
Absolutely anywhere and in any era we have endeavored to present Jesus to the world, we have been killed for it. It is the stuff of historical record and the seedbed of the Church.
Rebuild My Church
If you have ever seen a San Damiano cross you will notice something unique regarding the image of Christ displayed. Unlike many crucifixes, Jesus is not a corpse but rather represented as resurrected.
Angel of God, My Guardian Dear
