Rome wants the Church’s gold, and a deacon answers with a line that still startles: “These are the treasures of the Church.” We walk through the legacy of St. Lawrence, one of the most beloved Catholic saints, and why his witness is more than a martyr story. It is a direct challenge to our instincts about safety, success, and what we protect most.

We place Lawrence inside the real pressure of 3rd century Rome under Emperor Valerian, when Christian persecution intensified, clergy were targeted, and Church property was seized. As an archdeacon responsible for alms and care for the vulnerable, Lawrence becomes the perfect test case for the gospel’s paradox: the Church’s wealth is not stored in vaults but carried in mercy, community, and the dignity of the poor. Along the way we connect his words to Scripture, including 2 Corinthians 8:9 and Matthew 25:40, and we ask how Catholics today can recognize Christ in the suffering without turning charity into a slogan.

Then we face the hard part of the story: Lawrence’s martyrdom and the tradition of his fearless wit on the gridiron. The point is not admiration from a distance. We want a clearer spiritual lens and a practical examination of conscience: Do we value people over possessions, and do our daily choices look like a treasury of virtues that lasts?

If St. Lawrence’s story moves you, share this with a friend, subscribe for more Catholic faith and saint stories, and leave a review so more listeners can find the show.

He’s captured in the catacombs while celebrating Mass and he doesn’t run. Pope Sixtus II lived at a moment when being Catholic could cost you everything, and his story forces a question we usually avoid: what do we believe the Eucharist is really worth?

We walk through the world of the early Church in third-century Rome, where Christians gather in hidden rooms and whisper the prayers of the liturgy beneath the city streets. Against the backdrop of Emperor Valerian’s persecution and ruthless edicts targeting bishops, priests, and deacons, we trace Sixtus’s path from priest to Bishop of Rome and the kind of leadership that holds when fear is everywhere. For us, the headline is simple: the Church doesn’t survive by luck. It survives by unity, apostolic tradition, and an unshakable belief in the Real Presence of Christ in the Blessed Sacrament.

You’ll also hear how Saint Lawrence and the deacons of Rome embody the same Eucharistic logic through radical charity, naming the poor as the Church’s true treasures. By the end, Sixtus’s martyrdom stops feeling like distant history and starts feeling like a mirror, inviting us to recover reverence for the Mass, steadiness under pressure, and love that costs something.

If this moved you, subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find these stories of the saints and grow closer to Jesus in the Eucharist.

An 11-year-old girl’s last words still confront the way we cling to anger. We sit with the life of St. Maria Goretti and the unsettling beauty of her mercy: she forgives the man who attacks her, and she even prays for his salvation. That single choice forces a real question for Catholic families, parish life, and anyone carrying old wounds: what does it actually mean to forgive your enemies when the wrong was not small?

We walk through Maria’s upbringing in poverty, her quiet devotion to the Eucharist, her love for the rosary, and the “hidden” heroism that prepared her for a moment of unimaginable suffering. Then we connect her witness to the heart of the Gospel. Jesus doesn’t offer forgiveness as a soft sentiment or a self-help slogan. He commands love of enemies, and from the cross he prays, “Father, forgive them.” That kind of Christian forgiveness is not pretending harm never happened. It is surrendering vengeance, refusing to let bitterness rule the soul, and placing justice in God’s hands.

Maria’s story also carries a surprising ripple effect: the conversion of Alessandro Serenelli. We reflect on what repentance can look like over time and why the Church holds up saints not as distant myths, but as living proof that grace can do what we cannot. If you’re searching for healing, purity of heart, or the courage to take one step toward mercy, this conversation offers a clear place to begin. Subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review with the hardest part of forgiveness you’re wrestling with right now.

Distraction is easy. Reverence takes effort. Saint Peter Julian Eymard (also spelled Aymard) proves that the effort is worth it because the reward is not a concept, it’s a Person. We talk through why the Church remembers him as the Apostle of the Eucharist and how his single-minded love for Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament can steady a modern Catholic life that feels noisy, hurried, or uncertain.

We walk through Eymard’s story, from his early attraction to the tabernacle to the trials that refined his vocation, and the moment his mission came into focus: renew the Church by renewing Eucharistic faith. His founding of the Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament in 1856 wasn’t a niche project for a few holy specialists. It was a clear invitation to the whole people of God to return to Eucharistic adoration, frequent Communion, and a parish life organized around the Real Presence of Jesus Christ.

We also unpack the heart of his teaching: the Mass is a living encounter, not a checklist, and adoration is where gratitude, reparation, and transformation take root. Just as important, Eymard’s Eucharistic devotion is inseparable from his Marian devotion, especially his trust in Mary as Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament, the mother who leads us to her Eucharistic Son. If you’ve been longing for a deeper prayer life, a stronger family rhythm, or a more grounded Catholic faith, his witness offers a simple path forward.

Subscribe for more stories of the saints, share this with a friend who loves the Eucharist, and leave a review so more people can find the show. What is one concrete way you want to place the Eucharist at the center this week?

Prayer can feel like one more thing you should be good at, and that pressure quietly pushes a lot of us into silence. We want peace, meaning, and a deeper connection to God, but the modern pace trains our minds to stay scattered. So we turn to Saint Alphonsus Liguori, one of the Church’s great teachers of prayer, because he refuses to let prayer become a privilege for the perfect or the educated. He insists it’s the lifeblood of every Christian and it can start right where you are.

We share who Saint Alphonsus is, why his spiritual writing still lands today, and how his approach cuts through fear. Prayer, for him, is a living conversation with a loving Father and a trusted friend, not a performance with polished words. We talk about mental prayer and why quiet reflection on Christ’s life and love changes the heart over time, especially when paired with the rich Catholic tradition of the Rosary, novenas, and time before the Blessed Sacrament.

Then we get very practical: frequent prayer in daily life, short “ejaculatory prayers” you can whisper in the middle of work or family chaos, and what to do when you’re battling temptation or stuck in spiritual dryness. Saint Alphonsus also points us toward confident trust in divine mercy when we’ve failed, plus a simple daily examination of conscience that begins with gratitude and ends with renewed hope.

If you want a stronger Catholic prayer habit, deeper intimacy with Jesus, and realistic tools for spiritual growth, listen now. Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs encouragement, and leave a review so more people can find the wisdom of the saints.

What if belonging could heal fragmentation? We turn to Mystici Corporis Christi, Pope Pius XII’s 1943 encyclical, to rediscover the Church as a living body where Christ is the head, the Holy Spirit is the soul, and every baptized person shares real dignity and purpose. This is not abstract theology—it’s a map for identity, unity, and hope when the world feels pulled apart.

We unpack how the encyclical reframes the Church from an institution into a communion of life. Christ continues his saving work—teaching, healing, sanctifying—through the members of his Body, and the Spirit powers every movement toward holiness and charity. That vision bridges the divide between spiritual life and everyday life, calling us to bring prayer into work, compassion into conflict, and integrity into public witness. We highlight why no vocation is second-class, how hidden sacrifices strengthen the whole, and where personal gifts meet the needs of the community.

Against the backdrop of World War II and the dehumanizing ideologies it spawned, this teaching affirmed the equal dignity of every person and called the faithful to resist any system that divides or devalues. We connect that courage to today’s challenges: polarization, anxiety, and competing identities. Practical steps emerge—seeing others first as brothers and sisters, suffering with those who suffer, rejoicing with those who rejoice, and letting the Eucharist anchor our unity. The goal is simple and demanding: become living members who allow Christ to live his mercy through us.

If you’re longing for a faith that feels embodied, relational, and mission-driven, this conversation offers a clear path forward. Subscribe, share this episode with a friend who needs hope, and leave a review to help more listeners find the message of Mystici Corporis Christi.

Ursula Giuliani (who will later become Sister Veronica Giuliani) was born on December 27, 1660, in Mercatello, a small village in the Province of the Marches in Italy. Her father was a well-respected member of society. Her mother was a deeply religious woman. She would die before she reached her 40th birthday, leaving Ursula and her four surviving siblings (two having died) to their father’s care. But before she died, her mother would consecrate each of her five children to the precious Five Wounds of Our Lord Jesus. To the Wound in Our Lord’s Side, she entrusted Ursula, who was all of seven years old. Without her understanding the full implication of her mother’s bequest, nevertheless this was the beginning of Ursula's betrothal to Jesus’ Heart, the very Heart Which bled on the Cross.

How does a just king, a loyal Defender of the Faith, turn on all that he vowed to protect, betraying Church and country? Was it the limitless power he had, the power to decide between life and death, that gave birth to him placing himself above his Pope and Church? Was it the example of other Henrys before him? This chapter is about one man's infamy and the powerful men and Martyrs God raised up to defend His Church. But before we speak of King Henry VIII, and the Martyrs who died rather than deny the Church, we want to touch briefly on some of his predecessors.

was a devastating sight, almost as if a giant hand had smashed
it, or the fires of hell had tried to consume it. Part of the Altar
had fallen, blocking the wall where the Tabernacle had been.
The Friars and their helpers lifted the heavy piece of marble.
There was the cubicle, where the Tabernacle had been, but the
Tabernacle had melted from the intense heat. All that was left
were wood splinters and fragments of marble. Tears in their
eyes, they reverently began to lift the fractured parts of the Lord’s
former palace, the Tabernacle. They gently brushed aside the
mound of grey soft ashes that had collected in the opening. They
could not believe their eyes. There was something gleaming!
As they peered deeper into the alcove where the Tabernacle had
been, Father Battista beheld the Holy Eucharist! There Our
Lord was, in the middle of a cave, once again, unharmed as in
Bethlehem. Only now, the swaddling cloth was the corporal,
atop another linen cloth. The corporal was scorched and the
second cloth burned more; but the Host rested intact under a
light pall of ash.

Miracle of the Eucharist of Daroca

Excerpt from Miracles of the Eucharist book 1

Daroca is one of the oldest cities in Spain. It is protected by walls on all sides, as well as over a hundred towers. The towers were used to position soldiers in times of battle.

This city is located about 50 miles from Zaragoza. It was chosen by Our Lord Jesus, not to be the site of a Eucharistic Miracle, but to be the home of a Eucharistic Miracle. Against great odds and much opposition, the Lord chose this place, and would have His way. There was a great battle being waged at the end of 1238, and the beginning of 1239, between the Spanish and their dreaded invaders, the Moors. Valencia had already fallen to the Moslems, but a group of armies from the area of the Aragon had joined forces to take control of this kingdom back from their hated enemies.

They built up this great fever, and smashed the Hosts with a vengeance. It was the scourging of Jesus once more, at the Pillar, the crowning with thorns, the mockery He and His Mother endured at Calvary. The final blow came when one of the heretics threw a Consecrated Host on the floor, and stomped on It with his boots. The bottom of the boot had spikes on the sole, to help grip the road when there was mud on the ground. The spikes punctured the Host in three places, and small drops of Blood emerged from the Consecrated Host.From Miracles of the Eucharist book 2 https://bobandpennylord.store/search?q=bt2

As the Feast of Pentecost was approaching, the sacristan of the Church, Dom Garnier, made a special repository for the Blessed Sacrament, for the time when Our Lord Jesus would be exposed to the Faithful. He did the same thing every year; but this year, he made it just a little more special. He set up a small Altar, in front of the choir rail, by placing a table on the Gospel side of the Church. He covered it with a table cloth on which he placed a Tabernacle. On the Altar, he placed a corporal with a silver Monstrance, whose base was attached to a sacred stone,6 upon it. He attached the small Altar to the choir rail, to provide strength and security. In back of the temporary Altar was a red cloth, which hung for the entire three days. In front of the table, attached to the table cloth was the Papal Bull from Pope Clement VIII, granting the indulgences, and a letter from the local bishop, Msgr. Rye, which authorized the publication of the indulgences. There was also a relic of the finger of St. Agatha.

This article is about Love and hate. What would make a Man give up His Life for those who mock Him, reject Him, betray Him, choose a murderer over Him, strip Him, scourge Him, spit upon Him, nail Him to the Cross? Love, unconditional Love!

What would make a woman take a consecrated Host, the vulnerable God-man and desecrate Him? Hate! But how does someone acquire that much hate and anger against an innocent, vulnerable Lord Who died for her?

On our Journey of Faith to explore more shrines that show us proof of how the Lord shows His love for us through Miracles of the Eucharist, we go to the province of Emiglia Romagna, in the northeastern part of Italy, to Ferrara, a city known for its peace and quiet. There is an ancient section there, called the Borgo Vado near the Po river. They never knew if they would be flooded by a sudden rise in the river, or if their men would be caught in the current, and pulled underwater. The inhabitants have always had strong faith. Here, we found not only the Lord through the Miracle of the Precious Blood, but His Mother, Our Lady of the Precious Blood. We had been given this Miracle of the Eucharist, to research, by Father Giannini1 back in 1981, but it took till 1992 for us to go and discover this remarkable way, our Lord and His Mother chose to touch and reach us. This Miracle took place in 1171; Father Giannini told us of it in 1981, 810 years later. And now, 823 years after the Miracle, we are bringing it to you. Why now? As so many have asked, when we wrote our first book on the Miracles of the Eucharist.2 Stay with us, and let us try to discover the answer, together. It was 1992; we were on pilgrimage, and it was time to investigate the Miracle of Ferrara.

Blessed Angela of Foligno (1248-1309)

Thirteenth Century Mystic - Passionate Lover of Jesus

Hello, family and welcome. We're Bob and Penny Lord and we have a very special Super Saint to share with you today, Blessed Angela Foligno.

Within twenty five years after the world was to lose St. Francis of Assisi, the little, great Poverello, the Lord was to call forth a new light to brighten the world - our penitent Blessed Angela. In Foligno, a city a very short distance from Assisi, a cry would come forth in the night that would one day reach out and touch some of the greatest Saints in the world, and now us. The seed had been planted by the contradictory Poor One, Francis, and the Lord would not allow it to lie dormant in the ground.

Like the Mustard Seed, a great strong tree would grow and having blossomed, bear great fruit. One might agree with such great Saints as Catherine of Siena and Catherine of Genoa in saying that Blessed Angela was one of the blossoms from that tree that would bring a new, delightful fragrance to the world by her love story with Jesus, so like that of St. Francis - her Spiritual Father.

Alexandrina Maria da Costa (1904-1955)

Alexandrina Maria da Costa was born on 30 March 1904 in Balasar, Portugal. She received a solid Christian education from her mother and her sister, Deolinda, and her lively, well-mannered nature made her likeable to everyone.

Her unusual physical strength and stamina also enabled her to do long hours of heavy farm work in the fields, thus helping the family income.

When she was 12, Alexandrina became sick with an infection and nearly died; the consequences of this infection would remain with her as she grew up and would become the "first sign" of what God was asking of her: to suffer as a "victim soul".

Nourished only by the Eucharist

On 27 March 1942, a new phase began for Alexandrina which would continue for 13 years and seven months until her death. She received no nourishment of any kind except the Holy Eucharist, at one point weighing as few as 33 kilos (approximately 73 pounds).

Medical doctors remained baffled by this phenomenon and began to conduct various tests on Alexandrina, acting in a very cold and hostile way towards her. This increased her suffering and humiliation, but she remembered the words that Jesus himself spoke to her one day: "You will very rarely receive consolation... I want that while your heart is filled with suffering, on your lips there is a smile".

“All power has been given to me in Heaven and on earth. Go therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things whatever I have commanded you. And know that I will be with you always, until the end of time”. Matthew 28:19-20

Family, we have a Treasure, of so great a magnitude it has kept our Church alive and strong and protected against millenniums of struggle with the devil who has been trying to destroy us since he tempted Jesus on the Mount of Temptation in Jericho. And how has He been able to keep that promise to us, that promise of being with us, living within our souls, giving us strength to stand up against the powers of hell? He is always with us in the Sacrament of His Body and Blood, the Eucharist. He gave us that gift freely while He was on earth. He was actually preparing us for the time when He would not be with us physically. At Capharnaum He taught us:

“I Myself am the living bread, come down from Heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he shall live forever; the bread I will give is My Flesh, for the life of the world. [1]”

And then on Holy Thursday evening, in the upper room in Jeerusalem, He handed each of the Apostles bread, blessed and broken. “Then taking bread and giving thanks, He broke it and gave it to them, saying: ‘This is My Body to be given for you. Do this as a remembrance of Me.’ He did the same with the cup after eating, saying as He did so: ‘This Cup is the New Covenant in My Blood which will be shed for you. Truly I say to you, I will not drink again of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the Kingdom of God.[2]”

On Easter Sunday, after He had risen from the dead, and appeared to the Apostles in the Upper Room, Our Lord Jesus walked with two disciples who were returning home to Emmaus, thinking that Jesus was dead as was His movement. Jesus walked alongside of them, although they did not recognize Him as being Jesus. He spoke softly but firmly to them. He explained that Jesus had to do what He did to fulfill scripture. He quoted the scripture passages which affirmed what He was saying. When they arrived at Emmaus, He kept going, as if He were continuing on His journey. They pleaded with Him to stay with them. “Stay with us; it is nearly evening – the day is practically spent. So He went in to stay with them. When He had seated Himself with them to eat, He took bread, pronounced the blessing, then broke the bread and began to distribute it to them. With that their eyes were opened and they recognized Him; whereupon He vanished from their sight. They said to one another, ‘Were our hearts not burning inside us as He talked on the road explained the Scriptures to us?”[3] But they recognized Him in the breaking of the bread, the Eucharist.

Our belief in the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist has been the binding force and the cause of great struggle for Christians since the beginning. Down through the centuries, Saints and Holy People have shed their blood to defend the Eucharist. The first who comes to mind, a Saint of the early Church is St. Ignatius of Antioch, who as he was being dragged off to Rome to be sacrificed to wild lions in the Coliseum, wrote letters to St. Polycarp asking him to correct the errors being made with reference to the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. Another famous story is that of the young Roman boy, St. Tarcisius, who volunteered to bring the Bod

Saint Juliana Falconieri

The name Falconieri is famous in church annals. The uncle of St. Juliana, St. Alexis Falconieri, is one of the Seven Founders of the Servite Order. He was very instrumental in the upbringing of St. Juliana, her father having died when she was very young.

It was obvious to her mother and uncle that Juliana had a vocation from the time she was a very young child. She was not interested in material things, or grooming herself in order to find a husband. Her mother chided her about not taking her sewing spinning wheel lessons seriously. Juliana was not concerned. Finally at age 15, Juliana let it be known to all that she fully intended to give her life over to Our Lord in His service. Her mother Riguardata was not happy at all with this decision, but Juliana was extremely strong willed.

She was trained by her uncle Alexis, and invested into the Servite Order by St. Philip Benizi in the Church of Annunziata in Florence, for which her parents had paid to have built. Juliana founded the order of Servites nuns, and became the first superior. She never asked her ladies to mortify themselves more than Juliana. As a matter of fact, no one was able to keep up with her zeal, or mortification. She hindered her health greatly. Because of this, at the end of her life, her stomach was so weakened that, on her death bed at age 70, she was not able to receive Our Lord Jesus in the Eucharist.

THE MIRACLE

The Saint lay on her death bed. She grieved that she was not able to receive the Lord in the Eucharist. She was very loved by the community, and the priest in attendance at the end of her life. She still had a very strong will. She convinced the priest, Fr. James de Campo Reggio, to bring the Eucharist to her bedside, so that she could at least SEE Her Lord before she died. The priest gave in.

When he brought the Blessed Sacrament into the room, she was obsessed with the desire to touch Him somehow. She pleaded with the priest to allow her to at least kiss the Host. He refused. She waited a little longer. It was very obvious to all that she was nearing death. She begged the priest to put a corporal on her chest, and just lay the Lord gently on her chest, near her heart. The priest, who found it very difficult to deny her anything, gave in. Fr. James arranged the Cloth on her chest, as she had requested. No sooner had the Host been placed there than It disappeared from sight, to the astonishment of the 18 people gathered in the room. Saint Juliana closed her eyes, smiling. She never opened them again. At the touch of Our Lord Jesus on her heart, her life had been fulfilled, and she went to Him.

There was a hush in the room. They had all seen it, but no one could believe their eyes. All of the sisters in the room, and the priest, fell to their knees in reverence to the Miraculous Gift they had been given. They prayed for the safe journey of the soul of their Foundress to her heavenly reward. In due time, her body was prepared for the funeral. Blessed Joan Solderini, who assumed the saint’s responsibility in the community, was the first to notice another miracle. They took St. Juliana’s bedclothes off the body. On her left breast was the outline of the Crucified Christ, encircled by the Host. It was in the same position as the Host which had been placed on her chest, and had disappeared.

Miracle of the Eucharist of Offida

The Lord allows Himself to be drawn back to Lanciano again. This could very well be called THE EUCHARISTIC MIRACLE OF LANCIANO II, because what we call the Miracle of Offida actually happened in Lanciano in the year 1273. Why did Jesus pick Lanciano yet a Second Time? What was the need for Him to manifest Himself again in this town in another Miraculous way? To the inquisitive mind, the scientific mind, there has to be a logical explanation for a phenomena such as this. It has to be broken down into an understandable equation. In my mind, it conjures up enormous excitement. We don't know what the Lord's plan is, what His thinking is.

She was born with a crippled and paralyzed right arm, and a disease commonly called in those days, “Scrofula”, which is a form of tuberculosis which affects the neck. In her case, it also made her neck and cheeks malformed, and not at all pleasant to look at. At times, she suffered from swelling and open, pussy sores. No one knew for sure who her parents were. Laurent Cousin may have been her father, but that was never determined for sure. She might also have been left at the doorstep as a baby, perhaps because of her deformities, or she may have been the child of Laurent’s first wife, who died of the plague when Germaine was an infant.

Pope Pius V was beatified one hundred years to the day after his death, on May 1, 1672, and was subsequently canonized forty years later on May 22, 1712. History has told the story of this strong man, totally committed to his God, his Church, his religious order and his children, the people of God. He has been found to be a powerful soldier of the Counter-Reformation. He did what he did to stem the tide of Protestantism in the only way he knew how. And the Church has honored and rewarded him by raising him to the Communion of Saints. No greater reward can be given to a man of God. We thank You, Lord Jesus, for giving us this great Defender of the Faith at a time when we needed him desperately. Lord, we think You've given us a Pope Saint Pius V today in Pope John Paul II. Please give him strength and health. We need him.

There is a time for Mercy and a time for Justice.
Expelling Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden was an act of God’s Justice.
But even then, as the Angel was blocking the way to the Tree of Life in the Garden of Eden,1 and ushering our first parents out into the cold world, God was showing His Mercy to us through His promise of the Messiah, the Redeemer. God has always lived up to His Word. Throughout Salvation history, we have been beneficiaries of God’s Mercy. And very few times has He let loose His Justice. Sodom and Gomorrah was God’s Justice. Noah and the Ark was God’s Justice, but also mingled with God’s Mercy. The miracle of Moses and the Jews crossing the Red Sea was God’s Mercy, coupled with God’s Justice on the Pharaoh’s charioteers. When finally we are in the last days, with possibly the end of the world at hand, and we are about to face the Last Judgment, at that time the God of Mercy will give way to the God of Justice.

Visions of Saint Catherine of Siena

Glimpses Heaven

In each century, when the Church has been in need, the Lord has raised up powerful men and women to save her. Catherine was one of those powerful women, a light in the darkness of the Fourteenth Century. She had been chosen by her Lord and Savior to be His bride. And then, when He believed she was ready, He commissioned her to save His Church. She had lived for the Church and she died for the Church, one of those "Dry Martyrs" (Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen used this expression to describe those who do not shed their blood for Mother Church, but "who suffer over a period of years pain that far exceeds that of the Wet Martyrs.") we so often speak of in our books.

St. Jean Vianney dedicated a great part of his life, close to eighteen hours a day, to hearing confessions, to head off souls racing toward Hell. When he entered Ars, there were four dance halls in the town, but not enough room or desire for one church. Through his priesthood, swearing turned to praying, people in the fields worked with a rosary in their hands and stopped to pray the Angelus at noon, dance halls emptied, the church filled, conversion came about!

"God said: `Here is the sign of the Covenant I make between Myself and every living creature with you for all generations; I set My bow in the clouds and it shall be a sign of the Covenant between Myself and you and every living creature of every kind."

Our Lord Jesus fulfilled the promise that God the Father made. As he committed to St. Dismas, the good thief, from the Cross, He also pledges to us:

"Indeed, I promise you, this day you will be with Me in Paradise."

We believe that when we die, when we shake off this mortal coil, we go to the next step in our eternal existence, from a physical, bodily life, to a new life, a new beginning.

Saint Gerard Majella was born in the southern part of Italy in Muro, fifty miles south of Naples, in the year 1726. He was the baby of the family, the youngest of five children. On April 6th, his mother Benedetta and father Dominic rejoiced at the birth of this their newest child, but alas the joy was mixed with fear - fear he wouldn’t survive. He was so frail and sickly at birth, they immediately brought the baby to the Cathedral to be baptized. The stigma of being frail and sickly followed him all the days of his life. He had to fight harder to be able to become a member of a Religious community because of his frailty.

Angels in the life of Saint Joan of Arc

St. Joan of Arc (1412 - 1431)

Joan of Arc is a strong contradiction in our Church and our world. She was abandoned by the country she had fought so hard to protect; she was condemned by a corrupt bishop of the Church to which she pledged undying loyalty. After her death, that same country made her into a heroine; that same Church made her into a Saint. She is now, with St. Thérèse of Lisieux, co-patroness of France. She was the Little Flower's heroine during Thérèse's lifetime. Little did Thérèse realize they would someday share the same title as Patron Saint of France.

Angels in the Life of Saint John Bosco

Don Bosco and il Grigio (the gray one)

Making the statement, "The chapter would not be complete without...." becomes a pat phrase, when speaking of Don Bosco. Il Grigio, the gray dog, really had nothing to do with Don Bosco's ministry, but very possibly, he had a lot to do with his ability to perform his ministry. Don Bosco actually devoted the last chapter of his autobiography, Memoirs of the Oratory, to his good friend, Il Grigio. So if it was important enough for the master to talk about him, we can also share about the gray dog.

St. Gemma had a personal relationship with her Guardian Angel. She could see him with her own two eyes, those of her body. They were friends. They talked to each other. They prayed together. He watched over her, as she napped. She wrote, Jesus, true to His Promise that He would never leave us alone, gave her a Guardian Angel who never left her side.

This day, that would change the history of the world, started like any other day. But the people of Israel could feel an electricity in the air that cut through the calm of the day. Mary had grown up with a full knowledge of Holy Scripture. She, like her brothers and sisters of Israel, was awaiting the Messiah. This promise of a Redeemer had been given to the Jewish people before Moses led them out of the desert.

In one of our Lord's appearances to St. Margaret, He said, "You are the third light granted to the Order of My beloved Francis. He was the first, among the Friars Minor; Clare was the second, among the Nuns; you shall be the third, in the Order of Penance."

She was born, in 1247, on a small farm in the Tuscany Region of Italy. Her mother died when she was only seven years old, and she was left with a father who soon remarried. Margaret could count on little love and understanding in her home, as her step-mother was very stern, and her father was completely dominated by this strong woman.

This was an unusual group of Irishmen who chose to die, rather than deny the Faith. Margaret Ball, wife and mother, faithful to Mother Church who was turned in by her own son, the Mayor of Dublin at the time.

Francis Taylor, a previous Mayor of Dublin, who refused to take the Oath of Allegiance to the Crown, and was executed. Bishop Terrence O'Brien was a Dominican who excommunicated those disobeying the mandates of the Church and participated in an unjust truce, for this he died.

St. Oliver Plunket was an archbishop of Armagh in Northern Ireland. An honorable man, he was able to avoid capture for many years because of his family connections.

One of the great Mystics of the 16th Century, St. Frances was a wife, mother, foundress of a community and defender of the Church. A good deal of her life took place during the Great Western Schism. Her family was greatly affected by this difficult time in the Church.

She had a great love for and devotion to the Poor Souls in Purgatory. Our Lord Jesus asked her to go into Purgatory to feel the pain of the poor souls there. She had an Angel who stayed with her all her life. She always worked with the poor in Rome. During the plague, she worked tirelessly to save those whom she could, and bury those who died. After her husband died, she went to to live with the community she had founded. She had many visions.

This will give you an idea of what the people of Belarus and Ukraine went through during world war II. Attacked first by the Nazis and then by the Russians.

A poignant love story of 11 Nuns of the Holy Family of Nazareth, whose only crime was they were Nuns and were willing to die for the Faith.
Visit the place of their brutal massacre by the Nazis. We traveled to Nowogrodek in Belarus, to their grave, their original Church & Shrine.
When they first came and were rejected in Nowogrodek, the Bishop said, "Through you little Flock, Christ will act and radiate until you enter the glory of the Father...."The town will accept you and it will be proud that it possesses you."

Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton really fits the description of a woman for all seasons. She is truly a role model for women of today. Although she was always a very refined lady, she never shrunk from any kind of work which would help her or her family, whether it be her children or her ladies. She was a personification of motherhood all her life. She was a Protestant who converted after the death of her husband. She was a widow, a single mother, raising five children under the most impossible circumstances in a male-oriented world; she became a nun, and founded a religious community; you name it, Elizabeth Seton did it. Perhaps because she was such a beautiful girl, and was raised in New York society of the period, it seemed to many that she was able to just breeze through life doing wonderful things for the people of God, for the Church and for her family, without raising a bead of perspiration. Her life was anything but that.More about Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton

Saint Thomas Becket - Martyr of the Middle Ages (1118-1170)

Thomas Becket was born on the Feast Day of St. Thomas the Apostle, in 1118. He lost both his parents when he was twenty one. He was educated with the Canons regular. At twenty-four, he obtained a position in the home of the Archbishop of Canterbury. He received minor orders; the Archbishop was so fond of him, Thomas obtained many favors. He was ordained deacon, in 1154, and then the Archbishop appointed him Archdeacon of Canterbury. Now, this was an important position, second only to that of a Bishop or Abbot. The Archbishop entrusted his most delicate affairs to him to manage, seldom doing anything without asking his advice. He sent him to Rome on a very important mission. Thomas Becket never gave the Archbishop cause to regret the confidence he placed in him.

Holy Family Mission wishes you a most Blessed Christmas.

Today we celebrate the Birth of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ at Bethlehem in Israel.

Bethlehem was the city of David and also known as the City of Bread.
We did not have a place to stay for the Holy Family so they settled into a Cave in the side of a hill.

Mary gave birth that night to Jesus and laid him in a manger.

A manger is a place for creatures to eat, or a place that holds food.

Jesus is called the Bread of Life and the first lesson he gave us is this:

Remember at the Marriage Feast of Cana, Jesus gave us his first miracle by turning water into wine.

His last Miracle was at the Last Supper where Jesus turned the Bread and Wine into His Body and Blood soul and divinity.

The very first lesson was this.

By lying the the Manger in the City of Bread, He taught us that He is literally the Bread of Live, for us to literally eat, or as the Italians say, "Manga, translated Eat Up!"

Furthermore, I believe that the most important that I can do is to increase my awareness of Jesus in the Eucharist the True Bread of Life.

I have learned that the more you love Jesus the closer He comes to you and the more He reveals His presence to you.

Consequently, the more you love Jesus in the Eucharist and spend time with the Hidden Word made Flesh the more He is alive in your life.

Fear and confusion start to disappear. You will begin to understand more and see more clearly you path.

Holy Family Mission was founded to spread devotion to Jesus in the Eucharist, Mother Mary and the Saints.

Make an intention to spend more time with the Holy Eucharist in 2022.

The Holy Eucharist is a Living Person, the second Person of the Holy Trinity.

We are very excited about our plans for 2022 and we will unfold them starting next month.

Merry Christmas from Holy Family Mission

Bethlehem is the city of David. Joseph was from the lineage of David. He came from Bethlehem. He had many relatives there; but he hadn't visited them in some time. Add to that, everyone else who was born in Bethlehem was returning to be counted in the census. When Joseph and Mary arrived in Bethlehem, it was even worse than he had suspected. The town was jammed with people. He tried the inns first; there was no room. He tried his relatives; most didn't even remember him; and those who did, had no room. It was impossible. Desperate, he went back to the inns, again. He was willing to pay whatever they wanted, even though he was not a rich man. No amount of money would do it. No one had a room for them. Now, after the fact, we all would die to welcome Jesus, Mary and Joseph into our homes, offering them the finest room in our home. But no one knew them, and they were not welcome anywhere.

Joseph found a cave on the outskirts of town, whose only other tenant was an ox. Joseph led Mary inside. He carefully arranged hay for her to lie down on. She was exhausted from the journey, but she was calm and joyful; nothing ruffled her; she was anticipating what she knew was to come at any time. Joseph felt the same way, but he manifested his exhilaration by taking charge, and doing things. He asked Mary to try to sleep. He went over to the opening of the cave to keep guard.

The Holy House of Loreto The House of Nazareth

The history of the translation of the House of Nazareth that Jesus, Mary and Joseph lived in, in Nazareth.

This house was transported in 1290 from Nazareth to Yugoslavia and finally to Loreto, Italy in 1294 by angels!
One of the proofs of the movement of the Holy House to Loreto, Italy is that the mortar between the stones in the House at Loreto has pollen from the time of Jesus only known to be in Nazareth around 2000 years ago!

It is now known as the Holy House of Loreto.

Saint Francis of Assisi said that one day Loreto, Italy would be the holiest place on Earth.

This is the story of a precious child of God, who was born into royalty, yet never used or abused it. It is the story of a great woman, a daughter, a wife, a widow, a benefactress of the poor, a glowing example of a soul endeavoring to love her Lord more purely, yet faithful to her calling as wife and mother. As the story of her life unfolds, you will see, in addition to the titles attributed to her above, we could add these below to the number: Patroness of bakers, beggars, charitable societies, charitable workers, countesses, parents who have lost children to death, the innocent who are falsely accused, homeless people, hospitals, those having problems with in-laws, nursing homes, people in exile, the faithful persecuted for their love of Mother Church, Sisters of Mercy, Tertiaries (Third Order), and on and on. Quite a rich list for one whose life would be snuffed out at the young age of twenty-four!

The Lord gives us a new Cast of Characters leading up to the Eucharistic Miracle which took place in Langenwiese, in an area called Silesia, somewhere between Poland and Czechoslovakia. Again, He uses people from other countries to do His work in an area otherwise completely foreign to the people involved.
Enter a young man called Giantedesco, John the German, or better known, especially by Californians as San Juan Capistrano, John of Capistran. He was called John the German because his father was of Germanic background, and although John was Italian, he looked like a German count. A brilliant man, he got a degree in law in Perugia, near Assisi, and became Governor of Perugia at the age of 26. His priorities were anything but religious, until he was taken prisoner during a local war between the Perugians and the Malatestas. His story inside prison is much like that of St. Francis, although it took place some 200 years later. He began to consider the values of his life, and upon being released from priso, decided to change his life, and embrace the Franciscans.

Saint Charles Borromeo

Hero of the Counter Reformation

God is so good. He made a promise which He has always kept. He has been a faithful God to a very unfaithful people. We are our own worst enemies, but God always bails us out. We're talking in this instance about the great heretical movement spawned by Martin Luther in the early Sixteenth Century, a pure flame from hell which grew and grew until it exploded into epidemic proportions.

We thank you, Lord, for St. Charles Borromeo. Especially in this day and time, when all around us seems so hopeless, thank You for giving us hope. When there seems to be no help, thank You for giving us help through Your servant, St. Charles. St. Charles, pray for us, and for your fellow Bishops and Cardinals.

It is so exciting to be able to look through the pages of history, and see how the Lord has given us unbelievably powerful Lovers of the Eucharist in the brothers and sisters who have gone before us. St. Teresa of Avila, or as she is more accurately known, Teresa la Grande, was called “Loca de la Eucaristía”, which translates to “Crazy over the Eucharist”. St. Thérèse the Little Flower, called her First Holy Communion, “...that first sweet kiss of Jesus.” In our time, Mother Teresa of Calcutta attributes the growth in her vocations to the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. Three brilliant Teresa’s, three different periods in history, one bold attitude towards Jesus in the Eucharist.

The people we’re going to share with you in this chapter are all considered profound people in the church. We love and respect them for their holiness, their spirituality, their infused knowledge, their obedience, their faithfulness to Mother Church and their love for Our Lord and his Mother. They all speak of the Eucharist as if It were the very essence of their existence or as the Angel said to Elijah, “food for the journey”. Why then, do we doubt, ask questions, look for proof? Why can’t we accept the strength of Jesus in the Eucharist, if not because of His words, because of His Words in action by those who followed?

Saint Martin de Porres was born of John de Porres, a Spanish nobleman and Knight of the Order of Alcantara, and a black free woman, Anna Velazquez.

Martin’s father was not very happy to find his child was black. He did not want to be connected with the child in any way.

As a matter of fact, on the baptismal record there was no mention of the father at all. The Baptismal certificates read only "Martin, son of an unknown father." But some years later, he officially acknowledged Martin as being his son. We’re not sure if John ever married Anna Velazquez.

If he did, he didn’t treat her very well. He spent most of his time in other countries, leaving Anna and the children, Martin and his sister Joan to fend for themselves.

Though Martin was not from a poor background, you would not have known it by the way he and his family lived. They were always at least borderline poverty, and sometimes full-blown poverty.

But none of this had any detrimental effect on Martin. If anything, it gave him an understanding and empathy for his poor brothers and sisters.

From his earliest days, he focused completely on his Lord present in the tabernacle of all the churches of Lima and in helping out the poor. His mother became furious with him in the early days.

She would send Martin shopping for food, entrusting to him the meager pennies the family had, just enough to get some bread and a few necessities to see them through their meals.

Martin inevitably took the money and gave it to the poor.

Miracle of the Eucharist of Zaragoza 1427 - The Eucharist became a Baby

Zaragoza has been a city especially blessed by Our Lord Jesus through His Mother Mary and St. James, the Apostle, from the earliest days of Our Church.

Miraculous events of the most unique circumstances have been attributed to Zaragoza. St. James, a close relative of Our Lady, and very loved by her, had left Jerusalem for Spain very soon after the Ascension of Our Lord into heaven. St. James and his disciples worked diligently to bring the faith to the people of Spain. He is the patron saint of Spain, and his major shrine, SANTIAGO DE CAMPOSTELLO, has been a major Pilgrimage place throughout the centuries, second only to Jerusalem and Rome.

The Miracle of the Eucharist of Turin when God used a Donkey to convey a message.

The History of our Church has been one of turmoil.

God uses many means to get the job done, people, situations, and very often, miracles. At Turin God Created a Miracle of the Eucharist and used a donkey.

When the Piedmontese troops crossed into the country of Exilles, and the troops from Anjou approached, all the peasants, indeed, everyone living in that area, left their homes and evacuated the area. After the battle, the troops from Anjou retreated from the countryside. The Piedmontese soldiers began looting the homes and churches in the villages. One particular soldier entered the local church in Exilles, and forced open the tabernacle door, to steal the monstrance. He grabbed it, knowing, but not caring that he had also taken the Consecrated Host contained inside, the Body of Christ.

The monstrance was used for Benedictions. The soldier threw the monstrance into his sack, and loaded it onto his donkey. The animal was uncomfortable with the sack on his back, probably because the Lord made it that way. The sack kept falling off the animalís back. The soldier wanted to get rid of his stolen goods anyway, so he sold the entire sack to the first merchant he came across, at what we would call a highly discounted price. That merchant in turn sold the sack to another merchant, who sold it to another merchant. By the time the last merchant bought the sack, he was headed for Turin. He entered the city with a mule carrying the sack.

"Our walk with our most precious Pope John Paul II began in June of 1979. We had come back to our Church four years before and once we tasted of the vine (our 2000 years of unbroken heritage), we couldn’t stay away from all that was Catholic and Church. We took every opportunity to return to the roots of our Faith - the Holy Eucharist, Mother Mary, the Saints, the Angels, and the Martyrs, making Journeys of Faith to Europe, the Holy Land,Mexico, and Canada."

Saint Paul of the Cross was born Paul Francis Danei, on the 3rd of January, 1694, the second of sixteen children.
One of his brothers, John Baptist would be very instrumental in the work Our Lord had chosen for St. Paul. His parents, although of nobility, were neither affluent nor privileged. Even though the town hall at Castellazzo had once been the family palace, St. Paul's father, a cloth merchant, was always in serious debt.
Because of the financial situation, St. Paul had to discontinue his education at a boarding school.
At one point, things became so dire, St. Paul pawned all his belongings, to help his father avoid disgrace.
This was a great sacrifice for someone in Paul's position, but it prepared him for giving up far greater things in the future, and for receiving great gifts in return.

Victories of the Rosary - Including the Battle of Lepanto October 7 1571

“All we can do now, is pray!” When all else fails, when there is nothing left to do, we pray. A last ditch effort; we’ve tried everything else; it’s out of our control; now all that is left is to pray. Instead, we should begin by praying, recognizing that the most powerful tool we have is Prayer.

Saint Paul said: “Put on the armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the Principalities and the Powers, against the world rulers of the present darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness on high.”

Now, we are in the best of times; we are in the worst of times. Our battle is not with humans, as St. Paul tells us. It is truly a battle, possibly the final battle for our souls and those precious souls of our families.

Saint Faustina and Divine Mercy God’s Messenger of Divine Mercy

Bob and Penny Lord trace the life of Saint Faustina and the Origin of Divine Mercy Devotion.

There is a time for Mercy and a time for Justice. Expelling Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden was an act of God’s Justice. But even then, as the Angel was blocking the way to the Tree of Life in the Garden of Eden,1 and ushering our first parents out into the cold world, God was showing His Mercy to us through His promise of the Messiah, the Redeemer. God has always lived up to His Word. Throughout Salvation history, we have been beneficiaries of God’s Mercy. And very few times has He let loose His Justice. Sodom and Gomorrah was God’s Justice. Noah and the Ark was God’s Justice, but also mingled with God’s Mercy. The miracle of Moses and the Jews crossing the Red Sea was God’s Mercy, coupled with God’s Justice on the Pharaoh’s charioteers. When finally we are in the last days, with possibly the end of the world at hand, and we are about to face the Last Judgment, at that time the God of Mercy will give way to the God of Justice.

The Life of Saint Thérèse of Lisieux

“If God grants my desires, my Heaven will be spent on earth until the end of time. Yes, I will spend my Heaven doing good on earth....
I will return! I will come down!”

Saint Thérèse of Lisieux is one of the most powerful Saints of the Twentieth Century. We have never prayed for the intercession of another Saint who lived so close to our time. She died in 1897 at the age of twenty four, and was canonized in 1925. When she died, she was virtually unknown, even in her own Community.

Within two years of her death, the power of her intercession began to be felt all over Europe. Prayers and novenas were made to her for favors, which were answered in abundance, usually preceded by the reception of a flower. She called herself the Little Flower of Jesus, a name which has remained with her until today. The swiftness of time in which devotion to this Saint grew, would be called in secular terms, a phenomena. We call it a Miracle.

On March 15, 1907, Pope St. Pius X, in a private conversation, called her “The greatest Saint of modern times”. More about Saint Therese of Lisieux

Saint Michael the Archangel Defend us in the Battle

An example of clusters of holy places would be the area around Loreto, Italy, where the Holy House of Nazareth is located. Down the Adriatic coast, a short distance from Loreto, is a town called Macerata, site of a Miracle of the Eucharist, as well as a very special Shrine to our Lady.In our first book, This is My Body, This Is My Blood, Miracles of the Eucharist, we talked about Holy Clusters. We asked you to consider the concept of God as a Pilot flying high above the earth. From His vantage point, He can see great distances, and occurrences that are about to happen, and have already happened. Aboard His plane, we can see the pattern, He has created. We see clusters of holy places and events that seem to have no connection, other than that they were all instituted by Our Lord, and they are located geographically close to each other. The chronological sequence may be centuries apart. But time is a limitation put on man, not on God.

We weren’t sure what we wanted to tell you about first. Should we begin with stories from its magnificent tradition, which are filled with accounts of major battles won through the intercession of Our Lady of Czestochowa, and of the generals who dedicated their troops and their battles to Our Lady, who wore the breastplate of Our Lady as they went into battle, and then came back after their victories to thank Our Lady, and give Her complete credit for their conquest?

Or would you like to know about Lech Walesa, who had been the head of Solidarity, and became the first president of Poland after the fall of communism? He was originally in charge of the workers’ union. For organizing the workers against communism, he was imprisoned by the communists. When he was released, he lost his job and took on odd jobs, continuing to fight against communism. He became the leader of solidarity and was again imprisoned in 1981. In 1982, he was released and in 1983, he won the Nobel Peace Prize, which he presented to Our Lady at the Shrine. A very pious man, we had the privilege of attending a private Mass with him in the presidential palace.

Or should we begin with the miraculous tradition by which this painting found its way from a little home in Jerusalem to Czestochowa, Poland, 1300 years later? Where do you start? I guess the beginning would be best.

Tradition tells us that St. Luke painted the original image of Our Lady of Czestochowa on a table top in St. Joseph’s workshop in Nazareth. We truly believe that St. Luke sat at the feet of Mary and listened to Her tell about the Miraculous Conception and Birth of Our Tradition is the handing down orally of stories, beliefs, customs, etc., from generation to generation. In Theology, Christian tradition is the unwritten teachings regarded as handed down from Jesus and the Apostles. Webster’s New World Dictionary - 1984

Lord Jesus. St. Luke is the only one of the four Gospel writers who describes in detail the events from the Annunciation of the Angel Gabriel to Our Lady, through the Visitation, the Birth of Jesus, the Presentation in the Temple, and the Finding of Our Lord Jesus in the Temple. Where would he have gotten this information if not sitting at Her feet, listening in awe to this, the most beautiful Woman the world has ever known?

And why not, while he was listening to Her, could he not have painted a picture of Her, or drawn a sketch which later could become a statue of Her (Our Lady of Loreto)? There are many writings which justify this theory. From the early days, writers such as Sixtus of Siena and Nicefar (a Roman writer) both wrote that St. Luke painted the image of Our Lady.

Miracles in the Life of Saint Rose of Lima
Even the name she was given came directly from Heaven. Originally she was named Isabel after her maternal grandmother. But a miraculous occurrence took place while the child was an infant, before her Baptism. She was in her stroller with the Indian servant Mariana. All of a sudden the maid began to cry out to Rose’s mother and the children assembled in the room. She saw the child’s face turn into a beautiful rose! The children ran over to the stroller. They saw something different. They cried out that they saw a rose above her head, suspended in mid-air. Her mother, Oliva, took this as a sign from Heaven that the child was to be named Rose. We believe it was a sign from Heaven also, even though it caused a lifetime of bad feelings between Oliva and her mother, Isabel, for reasons which are pretty obvious. This was just the beginning of the mystical experiences attributed to St. Rose of Lima.

Pope Saint Pius X

“Born poor and humble of heart,

“Undaunted champion of the Catholic Faith,

“Zealous to restore all things in Christ,

“Crowned a holy life with a holy death”[1]

Who was Pope Saint Pius X?

This is the story of a Pope who refused to stay buried in the annals of history. The boy who became Pope always worked with the image of Mother Church and her founder Jesus Christ before him, leading the way, as if on a path, beckoning him to follow. He never ceased being the boy who worked and struggled endlessly to keep alive the true teachings of the Church!

How long we have waited to know more about Pope Pius X! It is awesome and a little more than exciting to discover how many Popes have succeeded St. Peter, to whom Our Lord gave the keys of His Church, making him our first Pope. I cannot help feeling my heart swell as our research brings us to the road our Pope Pius X trod, along with those who preceded him and those who faithfully followed after him. When we attempt to explain that our Church has had an uninterrupted history dating back to when Jesus walked the earth, commissioning the Apostles to carry on and spread the Good News that He is with us till the end of the world, we need only turn to the unbroken, unending succession of our Popes.

Allow us to bring you the story and life of Pope Pius X, the 257th Pope to fill St. Peter’s Chair as Pontiff of the Roman Catholic Church, serving at a crucial and disturbing time from 1903-1914. Pope Pius X was the first Pope, since the Counter-Reformation Pope Pius V (1566-72) to be canonized. As his story commences, we pray you will see why Mother Church chose to so honor him. We must say, we are greatly humbled to have the great privilege to write the story of so special a Pope, who did so much to bring about reforms, which are still enriching our Church till today.

The Assumption of the Blessed Mother into Heaven

Browse our Rosary Collection

Perhaps the greatest Fiat Our Lady had to make, was saying Yes to staying on earth after her Son Jesus had left her physically to prepare her place in Heaven. We must remember that she was with Him throughout His life, from the day He was born, through His early years, then His public ministry, to the day He was crucified. She had to have grieved terribly when He was taken from her.

We believe that when Our Lord Jesus rose from the dead, the first person He came to was His dear Mother Mary, even before appearing to the women at the tomb. If that is so, He may have given her the reason, at that time, why she had to stay on this earth. The only thing that makes sense would be for her to remain as a support system for the Apostles and disciples during these early days of the Church. Every time they looked at her, they would see Jesus. She was the living representative of Our Lord here on earth. They could draw strength from her.

But what a price He was asking her to pay. He had to know that her only desire was to be with Him. To stay on the earth while He left her was breaking a lifelong bond. Did Our Lord go to Mary and ask His most precious Mother to sacrifice precious time with Him, time when she could be with Him in Paradise, in order to nourish and protect the early Church? Was He entreating her to deprive herself of the Beatific Vision, for however long it would take for the Apostles to feel secure without her? If so, one thing we know; she said Yes again; because that always was, and still is, what Mary does; she says yes. But it had to be a very hard yes.

Saint Clare of Assisi was the first female member of the Franciscan community.

She fought against the whole Franciscan community, including popes, to maintain the original Rule of St. Francis.

After his death, she spent the rest of her life caring for her ladies.

She would not even die before her rule for the Poor Clares was approved by the Pope.

Clare is a role model for all women in headship, not exclusively of the Church, but especially of the Church.

She may very well have been placed on this earth to be a prototype for Superiors of Religious Communities, male and female, for centuries to come.

Saint Clare could easily be the standard bearer for anyone who would lead a community of people, whether it be a Religious Community, as Superior, or a country, as President, Dictator, or King.

And her philosophy was not new, or complicated.

It was simple. "Love one another as I have loved you."

Arming a young man with the double-edge sword of which St. Paul spoke, St. Dominic intoned these words, as he vested him in the habit of the Friars Preachers. This would be Dominic’s will and testimony, the legacy he would leave, to all the young and courageous who would pick up his torch and lead the way to Jesus.

The birth of a Saint

Our story takes us to Spain, a Christian part of Spain recently freed from more than four hundred years of cruel domination. The small, sleepy village of Caleruega, resting unnoticed between the lofty cities of Burgos and Segovia, will bring the world a treasury of Saints. If we travel back in time, we can see turrets and ramparts majestically dominating the horizon, proudly announcing the nobility who dwell within. Today, all that is left of the grandeur of yesterday, is the tower of the Guzmán palace, where a Saint and two Blesseds lived and loved. Our story is about the Saint - Dominic. In 1170, he was born into the nobility of this world; he and his family predestined to be part of that nobility; but instead that nobility would produce souls who would spend their life journeying toward eternal life with the nobility in Heaven.

A convert from Judaism, who died not only for her Jewish brothers and sisters, but for her executioners, saying if she did not pray for them who would. Her conversion came about through the writings of St. Teresa of Avila.“Jesus remember me when You come into Your Kingdom.” We were staying in the Convent of the Sisters of the Holy Family of Nazareth, in Krakow, Poland. The good sisters wanted the little pre-school children to sing and perform skits for us.They were so proud of their little charges.

The children went from love songs to Jesus and Mary in Polish, to the only song they knew in English: “Jesus remember me when You come into Your Kingdom.” Little did the sisters know why we were crying. As we scanned their precious innocent faces, all we could see were the precious innocent faces of children who, fifty years before, had gone to their horrible deaths in the Nazi death camps of Adolf Hitler. For you see, just two days before, we had walked the Way of the Cross through Auschwitz.

Our guide at the Concentration Camp said that no one leaves Auschwitz unchanged. She warned us that we would never forget Auschwitz! And she was right! For many years, we had avoided the ugly graphic truth of man’s inhumanity to his fellow man. In the Holy Land, we avoided the Monument to the Holocaust. Whenever we visited Germany, we said our Rosary and the prayers for the dead as we passed quickly by Dachau. But stop and go inside? No way! I remember one time, when our daughter wanted to go inside Dachau, I said “I’m so sorry, but I can’t!”

The Fourth Luminous MysteryThe Transfiguration“Lord, it is good for us to be here!”

One of our most favorite places in the world is Mt. Tabor in the Holy Land. Every time we would go there with our Pilgrimage groups, we felt as St. Peter when he told the Lord “Lord, it is good for us to be here. Let us build three tents, one for You, one for Moses and one for Elias.” We really believe he was telling the Lord he didn’t want to leave this place. It was so special, so spiritual. He felt he could touch Heaven from the top of Mt. Tabor.

Saint Peter Julian Eymard

Family, if there was ever a Saint who had complete focus in what the Lord was calling him to do, it was St. Peter Julian Eymard. He is called, among other things, “Champion of the Blessed Sacrament”. He had such an unbelievable singleness of purpose, in his great devotion to the Blessed Sacrament, and desire that Eucharist Adoration should be practiced worldwide, that he would Found an Order devoted solely to adoration of the Blessed Sacrament and the spread of that devotion. That Religious Order is called “Priests of the Blessed Sacrament.”

But we’re getting ahead of ourselves here. The life of this slave of Mary and servant of Jesus is fascinating. We have to track his life here in the area of the world where he spent most of it, the French Alps. He began his life in 1811, in the small village of La Mure, in between Gap and Laus, and the great shrine of Our Lady of Laus, which played an important part in his life, and was just recently approved by Mother Church in May 2008, as the longest apparition Our Lady has made.

Saint Ignatius of Loyola audiobook

Subtitle:

Founder of the Jesuits

Description:

Saint Ignatius of Loyola discovered a dark cave, virtually unknown because it was so overgrown with brush.

There, he would spend hours, sometimes all through the night, praying without interruption, except for the occasional sounds of God's four-legged and winged creatures calling out to one another.

The cave at Manresa was a battlefield, a lonely battlefield, with Ignatius battling one temptation, winning that battle only to be put to the test with another temptation and another battle.

Among other struggles, Saint Ignatius of Loyola imagined himself guilty of all types of sins, mistaking venial sin for mortal sin, battling alleged scruples and scrupulosity to the point of near desperation.

He did not know where to turn; it seemed to him that God had deserted him.

Then, he remembered hearing that God would come to his aid, if he fasted until his petition was granted.

Saint Ignatius of Loyola fasted from Sunday to the following Sunday.

St. Brigid or St. Bridget of Sweden is one of the most powerful women, who have graced Mother Church with their love and faithfulness. A little brusque at times, or as a dear Bishop once called Penny - a little forthright; she was considered a Prophet to Pope Gregory, as was St. Catherine of Siena. But whereas the Pope himself called her a Prophet, he did not have the fond affection toward her that he had for St. Catherine, who was strong like St. Brigid but gentle.

Now Rome of his day had become nothing but a barbaric cesspool, filled with pagan tribes, who had invaded her shores, spreading heresy and immoral behavior the likes of which was leading to a widespread depraved and decadent culture infecting all, but especially the intelligentsia, as usual the students.

As goes the world, sadly, often follows the Church. Poor Mother Church was reeling from the attacks within and without - with schisms threatening to tear down all that the Early Church Fathers had built. Immoral and amoral behavior soon became the accepted norm of the day with Christians accepting and adopting the culture of the hordes of heathens who had stormed their land. With permissiveness, war and rampant widespread plundering are sure to follow. There was not a ruler or king who was not either a pagan, or an atheist, or a heretic

Miracles in the Life of Saint Anthony of Padua

In Imitation of Christ, we read, "Every time I have been among men, I have returned less a man." St. Anthony did not return a lesser man, when he left the company of men; on the contrary, he said, he became a better man through all those, he loved. It is true, if you place your faith in man, it can break you. If instead, you place the Face of Jesus upon the face of man, seeing Jesus, like St. Thomas Aquinas, you will say, "I am doing it all for You, Lord." Then loving the Jesus you see in him, like St. Anthony, you will become a better man, transformed by that love.

Mary’s appearance to 5 children in Beauraing, Belgium, in November and December of 1932 has always fascinated us. There are so many aspects of the visit from Our Heavenly Lady that we don’t quite understand. But we know there was a need for Mary to come to our aid in this place at this time. Nothing is by coincidence with her. Every time she comes to us in an apparition, she has to upset the balance of nature, break through the dimension separating Heaven and earth, just to make contact with us. Then she has to condition the minds of the seers and us, the people for whom she comes to earth, to accept the supernatural, that which cannot be explained.

The Middle Ages was such a period in our Church History. The Lord allowed our Church to plunge itself into the depths, to wallow in corruption and heresies. Many of the clergy and laity fell away from the Church. There was tremendous confusion as to what to believe. (Does this sound similar to the Church of Today?) The heresies were being expounded by strong figures within the church. Jesus painted these people and events as turbulence, or dark tones on the canvas. But He balanced the dark with the light and radiance of St. Francis of Assisi, St. Dominic, St. Anthony of Padua, and for our purposes in this episode of the Eucharistic Miracle of Bolsena, ST. THOMAS AQUINAS, DEFENDER OF THE EUCHARIST.

Saint Boniface, Apostle of Germany

Saint Boniface the Apostle of Germany, may not be well known in the United States, however he brought Catholicism to Germany. He is greatly admired in Germany and other European countries. He is venerated not only by the Catholic Church, but by the Lutherans, as well as the Anglicans and the Eastern Orthodox.

We’ve said this before, but when there is a crisis in God’s Church, he raises up a powerful Saint to do the task. In this instance, He chose a young man filled with the Spirit, from what is today known as Great Britain. He sent him to what is today Germany to evangelize and convert the Old Saxons, the people of Germany who were Catholic but had lost their way. And that was just the beginning. Before his life was over, he had evangelized all of Germany, and had become Primate of Germany. If that wasn’t enough, when that was done, he went over to France to convert and bring back to the Faith those who had left. But we’re getting ahead of ourselves. Let’s start at the beginning.

Boniface was born in Crediton in Devonshire, England in 675-680 and baptized Winfrid. His was a noble family. He was given an early training in our Faith. He felt a calling to the religious life at 5 years old. His spirituality attracted the attention of various religious men, who suggested he study under the brothers and priests. At 7 years old, he went to a monastery where he excelled in learning scripture, Latin and lecturing. At 14 years old, he graduated to the next level, a Benedictine Abbey.

The Visitation

"My Soul magnifies the Lord

and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior"

Reflecting on the Second Joyful Mystery of the Rosary, the little virgin from Nazareth begins to grow overwhelmingly in our eyes. We see the obedience of Mary! At the Annunciation, recognizing the Angel as a messenger of God, she had said yes to bearing the Son of God. When the Angel Gabriel told her that her cousin Elizabeth was with child, she trusted in his word knowing he was from God. Because she, like the other people of Israel, had been preparing for the Messiah, and had studied the Word, she knew the Lord would have wanted her to go and serve her cousin; and so she obeyed, once more. As we walk through the rose petals that make up the Rosary, we will encounter the many times Mary obeyed. As we learn more about Jesus, we realize that His Life was our path to Heaven. As you walk with Mary, you will discover she knows the way.

The Mexican Martyrs of the 20th Century

Go after the Bishops, Priests, Religious and the Church

Two years earlier in February, 1927, the president of Mexico, Plutarco Elias Calles issued an order for all Priests throughout Mexico to leave their parishes and report to Mexico City. As this would place them under the supervision of the State, robbing them of their allegiance to Rome and the Pope, they refused. They stood on their Constitutional rights which insured clear separation of Church and State. All the Priests, Bishops and Religious were in communion, rejecting the State's authority over the Church. They knew the outcome. They chose to become fugitives rather than deny the Faith. As the early Church Martyrs before them, they would not swear allegiance to Caesar (the head of state); for to do so would be to declare him God. They became hunted, and when caught, arrested, mercilessly tortured, and very often executed. And while this was going on, the United States was giving credit to Mexico in the sums of tens of millions!

The Life of Saint Bernardine of Siena

No one was excused from his preaching. He called for reform from the common man as well as from people in high places, in one instance, boldly calling to task the Duke of Milan. He brought about change! His message was so powerfully accepted, the people lit bon fires and cast their sins and worldly temptations upon them, as a firm resolve to live better, more holy lives. One of the scourges of the time was usury - the practice of exacting exorbitant interests, often resulting in the inability of the lender to pay, losing his home and all his worldly goods. To respond to this evil, Bernardine founded a society of beneficial loan societies called “Monti di Pieta.”

Although he preached relentlessly on reform, Bernardine spoke with the gentle, compassionate Heart of Jesus and that of his father Francis. Peace was his primary focus, and toward that aim, he journeyed to the far corners of Italy reconciling warring factions like the Guelphs and Ghibellines. The Guelphs were members of a political party that supported the authority of the Pope against the aristocratic party of the Ghibellines. The Ghibellines, in contrast to the Guelphs, supported the German emperors in Italy, who, hell bent on stealing all the Papal lands from the Papacy, challenged the authority of the Pope. Where all modes of diplomacy and compromise failed, Bernardine with his preaching of Peace and Love succeeded, bringing about reconciliation among the two warring factions.

Bernardine carries the symbol of Jesus

As Bernardine traveled, so did the Holy Name of Jesus. Everywhere he went, he persuaded the dignitaries of the different cities to take down the emblems of the warring factions from their buildings - their churches and palaces - and instead place on them the Holy Name of Jesus. And till today, you can see the initials IHS - the Holy Name of Jesus on all the buildings in Siena and Florence, just to mention a few.

This symbol became his vanguard, as he paved the way for devotion to the Holy Name of Jesus. His preaching on the Holy Name of Jesus was so potent and caught on so quickly, he was asked to speak in city after city. When he spoke, he held a plaque with the emblem of the Holy Name of Jesus on it, in front of him; and with the passion of He, Whom it represented, Bernardine moved the hearts of everyone in the audience to desire the emblem. Soon the emblem was clamored for, to place not only on the outside of buildings, churches and etc., but on homes.

to the Immaculate Virgin Mother of God and through the paternal lovewith which you embraced the Child Jesus, we humbly beg you graciously to regard the inheritance
which Jesus Christ has purchased by his Blood,and with your power and strength to aid us in our necessities.
O most watchful guardian of the Holy Family, defend the chosen children of Jesus Christ; O most loving father, ward off from us every contagion of error and corrupting influence; O our most mighty protector, be kind to us and from heaven assist us in our struggle with the power of darkness.
As once you rescued the Child Jesus from deadly peril, so now protect God’s Holy Church from the snares of the enemy and from all adversity; shield, too, each one of us by your constant protection, so that, supported by your example and your aid,we may be able to live piously, to die in holiness,
and to obtain eternal happiness in heaven.
Amen.

The Mystical Marriage of Saint Catherine of Siena to our Lord Jesus

As Jesus was speaking, His mother entered the room. With her were Saint John the Apostle, St. Paul, Saint Dominic, and King David.

We can see David dancing as he joyously accompanied them with his harp. Catherine’s walk, as with the other Saints we have studied, male and female, was to Jesus through His mother. Mother Mary took Catherine by the arm and gently placed the young virgin’s hand into the Hand of her Son, our Lord Jesus, asking Him humbly, and ceremoniously, to take Saint Catherine of Siena to Himself, in the Holiest of Matrimony. Jesus, the Most Handsome Bridegroom, smiling with only His Blinding Smile, took Catherine’s hand and placed on her finger, a gold ring with the purest pearls surrounding a brilliant diamond, which danced and glittered like the Star in the East must have the night He was born.

“There. I marry you to Me in faith, to Me, your Creator and Savior. Keep this faith unspotted until you come to Me in Heaven and celebrate the marriage that has no end. From this time forward, daughter, act firmly and decisively in everything that in My Providence I shall ask you to do. Armed as you are with the strength of faith, you will overcome all your enemies and be happy.”

Having spoken, Jesus, with His Mother and the heavenly witnesses, left Catherine. With her ring as proof she had really been married to Her One True Love (although she was the only one who could see it), Catherine was strengthened to withstand all the persecution that lay ahead. She shamefully admitted that even she was not able to see the ring, when she had offended her Lord and needed to go to confession. I wonder how many gifts we cannot see, because believing the evil one and his lie that there is no sin, we are in a state of sin and no longer have that gift of peace and joy, that comes from Reconciliation with the Lord.

Saint Catherine of Siena did as most newlyweds do, except the faraway place, she chose for their honeymoon, was not one of a romantic spot on some deserted island, but it was an island, quiet, with no one or nothing to distract her from learning from her Spouse. She listened and asked questions, her whole mind and heart intent on what wisdom the Master was imparting to her, His Bride. She achieved her greatest moment of unity with Jesus after she received Him in the Eucharist. At that moment, when Jesus was physically Present to Catherine, she felt her soul soaring up to Heaven, experiencing all the exquisite wonders there, with the Lord as her Guide and Host.

But as we mortals know, honeymoons come to an end. In Marriage Encounter, we learn first there is the courtship, then the honeymoon, then the disillusionment, then the living out of the Sacrament of Matrimony. Catherine’s honeymoon, not unlike ours, had to come to an end, so their new life could begin.

One afternoon, Jesus spoke to Catherine of the future, how He wanted her to live out the two most special commandments He had given us, to love God and to love neighbor. The second was the hard one. She had been so happy loving Him. There was one fear she had, which had always held her back from any human relationships; that was loving humans at the expense of being wholly faithful to her Lord. As we know, we can trust in God, but humans are only too willing to show us we cannot trust in them. This was probably another major stumbling block she envisioned, as He gently laid out His Plan, His Work for her. She thought of the possible rejection. She protested that she did not know how to love her neighbor. She had kept that love for her Lord safely tucked away, just for Him, from the first time He had appeared to her when she was six years old. She had forgotten her great capacity to love her

Prophecy of Last Days by Saint Louis de Montfort

The reason we call Saint Louis Marie de Montfort a prophet of the last days, even though he lived between the last half of the Seventeenth Century and the first part of the Eighteenth century is because of what we read in his prophecies which deal with these last days:

“....towards the end of the world, ....Almighty God and His holy Mother are to raise up saints who will surpass in holiness most other saints as much as the cedars of Lebanon tower above little shrubs.”

“These great souls filled with grace and zeal will be chosen to oppose the enemies of God who are raging on all sides. They will be exceptionally devoted to the Blessed Virgin. Illumined by her light, strengthened by her spirit, supported by her arms, sheltered under her protection, they will fight with one hand and build with the other.

With one hand they will give battle, overthrowing and crushing heretics and their heresies, schismatics and their schisms, idolaters and their idolatries, sinners and their wickedness. With the other hand they will build the temple of the true Solomon and the mystical city of God, namely, the Blessed Virgin... “
“They will be like thunderclouds flying through the air at the slightest breath of the Holy Spirit. Attached to nothing, surprised at nothing, they will shower down the rain of God’s word and of eternal life. They will thunder against sin; they will storm against the world; they will strike down the devil and his followers and for life and for death, they will pierce through and through with the two-edged sword of God’s word all those against whom they are sent by Almighty God.”

“They will be true apostles of the latter times to whom the Lord of Hosts will give eloquence and strength to work wonders and carry off glorious spoils from His enemies. They will sleep without gold or silver and, more important still, without concern in the midst of other priests, ecclesiastics and clerics. Yet they will have the silver wings of the dove enabling them to go wherever the Holy Spirit calls them, filled as they are, with the resolve to seek the glory of God and the salvation of souls. Wherever they preach, they will leave behind them nothing but the gold of love, which is the fulfillment of the whole law.”

“They will have the two-edged sword of the Word of God in their mouths and the bloodstained standard of the Cross on their shoulders. They will carry the Crucifix in their right hand and the rosary in their left, and the holy names of Jesus and Mary on their heart.

“Mary scarcely appeared in the first coming of Christ...

But in the second coming of Jesus Christ, Mary must be known and openly revealed by the Holy Spirit so that Jesus may be known, loved and served through her.”

Listen to Catholic Saints Audiobooks

We are convinced there is a great necessity to impress upon the people of God that we are not hopeless; we are not helpless. We have been given an overwhelming amount of strength by Our Lord Jesus to sustain us on the journey, especially during the rough times, which we seem to be in all the time. We have a lot going for us. Jesus continues to keep His promise, "I will be with you always, until the end of the world."

We want to focus on the strength we have been given through our family, our Communion of Catholic Saints. We want to share with you their Journeys to Sainthood. We needed a great deal of help to bring them to you. We would like to acknowledge and thank those strong men and women who know how important this book is, and have dedicated vast amounts of time and effort, to bring you and us these strong intercessors, our brothers and sisters, the Catholic Saints.

Did you know Journeys of Faith has hundreds of Catholic Saints audiobooks that you can listen to from your computer or phone?

Think about this for a moment. We are living in extremely challenging and dangerous times! We find it getting harder and harder to find the truth about what is happening. Powerful forces are stacked against us. So what do we do?

We suggest we take a lesson from the Catholic Saints and listen to some of the Catholic Saints Audiobooks.

Why are we suggesting the Catholic Audiobooks on the Saints. Because so many of them found the road to peace was through studying the Lives of the Catholic Saints.

For example, Saint Francis of Assisi was bedridden and the only book he could find was a book on the Lives of the Saints and reading that book started him on his Journey to Sainthood.

Saint Ignatius of Loyola was also in a hospital from a wound in his leg and started to read about the Lives of the Saints and as a result he decided to become a Soldier for Christ and eventually founded the Jesuit order, the Society of Jesus.

There are many more Saints that attribute their conversion to studying the lives of the Catholic Saints.

Journeys of Faith has available at very low cost, hundreds of Catholic Saints Audiobooks for you to choose, download and listen to on any device.

We are in serious times, but not in impossible times. God is still in charge; He is always in charge; and we hold on to what His Mother Mary said in Pontmain, France, when she appeared in 1871, "But pray my children. God will soon answer your prayers. My Son allows Himself to be touched." Is not Our Lady saying, Our Lord is listening; He loves us and will keep us out of harm's way, if only we pray?
Saint Augustine tells us that the sin of Adam was Pride and Humanism, the desire to be independent of God and His Grace and dependent on no one but himself.
Unlike the Angels, who were given one chance--to choose Heaven or hell, their choice irreversible, man is given options; he can elect to either follow man's first father Adam or Our Lord and Redeemer Jesus Christ; through one, the gates of Heaven were closed to man; and by the Sacrifice of the Other they were opened! Likewise, when we choose, are we not making a choice between God and the devil, between the pursuit of Heaven or hell?

Jesus said, "The Son of Man must suffer greatly and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests and the scribes, and be killed, and on the third day be raised." (Luke 9:22)

It was Sunday, the third day, but everyone had forgotten what He said about the third day, or didn't understand it.

Dawn was approaching. Most of the citizens of Jerusalem were sleeping, tired from the celebration of Passover, which had taken place the day before. Many of them had celebrated hard. They wanted to get the image of Jesus and the events of Friday out of their minds. Some had succeeded in forgetting the entire incident, by now. After all, it had happened two days ago. It was like yesterday's newspaper. Much had taken place in their everyday lives, since then. Besides, there were always plenty of self-styled prophets coming down the pike. There would be others.

But there were those who had not forgotten, those who wanted to go to the tomb to give the Master a proper burial. When Jesus was taken down from the Cross, it was too late to prepare His Body for burial, as sundown was quickly approaching. It was Friday, the beginning of the Jewish Sabbath. According to the Law, they would have to wait until after the Sabbath (sundown Saturday). Joseph of Arimathea stepped forward and offered the tomb, he had bought for himself. They placed the Lord's Body in the tomb. But it was a hurried affair.

Now the Sabbath was over. Three women headed for the tomb. They were Mary Magdalene, Mary, mother of James and John, and Salome. They brought perfumed oils to anoint the Body; they would now properly give honor to their Lord Jesus. They wondered about the huge stone which had been placed in front of the tomb. How would they move it? It was too heavy for the three of them. Maybe the soldiers would still be there. Would they help? That was a toss-up. But they would have faith; God would get the stone removed. All they needed was to trust.

Jesus Dies on the Cross

"If you're the Son of God, come down from that Cross. Come down and we'll believe.' Sure they will believe; they'll believe anything, just no Cross. No mortification, no self-denial." The shrill, piercing cry of the aging Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen ricocheted off the walls of the Church of St. Agnes, in New York City, on Good Friday, April 8, 1977. He continued, "Many sayI'll believe anything! I'll believe He's divine! I will believe in His Church; I will believe in His pontiff, only no Cross! no sacrifice!'"

Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen said "George Bernard Shaw said of the Cross; `It's that that bars the way.' Sure it bars the way. It bars the way to hell!" Could Archbishop Sheen see what was coming upon him, and us, full steam? Could he see the suffering, our Lord Jesus would have to undergo at the hands of those who claimed to love Him? In his last years, when he gave his most powerful retreats to priests, did the Lord give him an insight into the real Agony Jesus suffered in the Garden, the real Agony He suffered on the Cross: the Agony of the great Apostasy, which would take hold so strongly in our Church towards the end of the Twentieth Century? Is that why he cried out so painfully for his Lord, Who is tortured so terribly, by those who love Him?

The walk to Calvary would have been devastating for anyone, but for Jesus, Who had received mortal wounds twice that day, from the crown of thorns, and again from the scourging He received from the Roman guards, it had to be pure agony! By all that's right, He should have been mercifully dead before arriving at the top of this hill.

Our Savior was stripped of His tunic. He was thrown to the ground. Nails - blunt, huge nails more like flat-head spikes were pounded into His Hands and Feet. The pain was unbearable, but Jesus said yes with His silence. [We were present at a Passion Play and the actor who played our Lord cried out in agony, as the soldiers pounded each nail into His Precious Body.] Did You cry out, Jesus as they pierced Your Hands with nails - Hands that had healed, Hands that had reached out to love us, Hands that had welcomed sinners, Hands that had multiplied 5 loaves and 2 fish into enough food to feed close to 15,000 people on the Mount of Beatitudes? Now they were nailing those Hands to a Cross! No more would You heal us, love us, feed us. Wrong! Even as You were bleeding from the excruciating Wounds inflicted on Your Precious Hands, You were setting into motion the ongoing use of Your Hands through the anointed hands of Your Priests and Your faithful followers. Oh Lord, "I adore the Wounds on Your Sacred Head with sorrow deep and true. May every thought I have today be an act of love for You."

"I adore the Wounds on Your Sacred Hands with sorrow deep and true. May every work of my hands today be an act of love for You.

"I adore the Wounds on Your Sacred Feet with sorrow deep and true. May every step I take today be an act of love for You.

"I adore the Wounds on Your Sacred Heart with sorrow deep and true. May every beat of my heart today be an act of love for You." (Bob and Penny's beloved friend and former Pastor, Msgr. Thomas O'Connell, St. Jude's, Westlake Village, California, recites this prayer at every Mass during the Communion meditation.)

Act of Consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus

Lord Jesus Christ, I consecrate myself today and without reserve to Your Divine Heart.
I consecrate to You my body with all its senses, my soul with all its faculties, my entire being.
I consecrate to You all my thoughts, words and deeds, all my sufferings and labors, all my hopes, consolations and joys.
In particular, I consecrate to You this poor heart of mine so that it may love only You and may be consumed as a victim in the fire of Your love.
I place my trust in You without reserve and I hope for the remission of my sings through Your infinite mercy.
I place within Your hands all my cares and anxieties.
I promise to love You and to honor You until the last moment of my life, and to spread, as much as I can, devotion to Your Most Sacred Heart.
Do with me what You will, my Jesus.
I deserve no other reward except Your greater glory and Your holy love.
Take this offering of myself and give me a place within Your Divine Heart forever.
Amen

Institution of the Eucharist Meditation
The Fifth Luminous Mystery

The Institution of the Eucharist

In John 6:51, while Jesus was teaching the Jews at the synagogue in Capharnaum, He gave us the first Eucharistic Doctrine. He called Himself “The Bread of Life”.

“I Myself am the Living Bread come down from heaven. If anyone eats this bread, he shall live forever; the bread I will give is My Flesh, for the life of the world.’

At this the Jews quarreled among themselves, saying, ‘How can he give us his flesh to eat?’ Thereupon Jesus said to them:

‘Let Me solemnly assure you, if you do not eat the Flesh of the Son of Man and drink His Blood, you have no life in you.’”

After saying this, He lost most of His followers. They couldn’t live with this statement. Jesus, God-Man, had to have known what would happen. In His humanness, He knew what He should do. But He knew what He had to do. It would have been so much easier for Him to call them all back, and say “Wait a minute. I wasn’t serious. I was just testing you.” But He was serious. He couldn’t compromise the truth. He knew the tremendous task He had to accomplish, and the short time available to get it done. If this controversial statement were not true, as so many would have us believe, why did He risk all that He had accomplished? Why was He not willing to back down from it? Even after they questioned Him on it, saying, “This sort of talk is hard to endure. How can anyone take it seriously?”, His comment was “Does it shake your faith?”

Jesus was so firm on this point that He was even willing to lose the Apostles. This was the moment of decision for them. He asked the twelve apostles, “Will you leave Me also?” Peter said, “Where are we to go ? You have the words of everlasting life?”

From Capharnaum to the Cenacle, the cycle is completed. On Holy Thursday evening, in the Upper Room at the Last Supper, we were given the gift, the everlasting gift of the Flesh and Blood of Jesus. We can go to any of the Synoptic Gospel writers. We will quote from St. Luke. In Luke 22:19, we read:

“Then taking bread and giving thanks, He broke it and gave it to them, saying: ‘This is My Body to be given for you. Do this as a remembrance of Me.’ He did the same with the cup after eating, saying as He did so: ‘This cup is the New Covenant in My Blood, which will be shed for you.” It was after this that Judas left the room to complete his plan for betrayal.

This Eucharistic Doctrine was repeated innumerable times by the three Synoptic Gospel writers, as well as St. John, and St. Paul. It was stressed more than any teaching in Christ’s ministry.

From the early days of the Apostles, after the Resurrection of Our Lord, they were faithful to the Lord’s Command. It is written:

“They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teachings and fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers...Day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they partook of food with glad and generous hearts.”

This was an unusual group of Irishmen who chose to die, rather than deny the Faith. Margaret Ball, wife and mother, faithful to Mother Church who was turned in by her own son, the Mayor of Dublin at the time.

Francis Taylor, a previous Mayor of Dublin, who refused to take the Oath of Allegiance to the Crown, and was executed. Bishop Terrence O'Brien was a Dominican who excommunicated those disobeying the mandates of the Church and participated in an unjust truce, for this he died.

St. Oliver Plunket was an archbishop of Armagh in Northern Ireland. An honorable man, he was able to avoid capture for many years because of his family connections.

"Prepare the way of the Lord; make straight His paths." (Matt 3:3) He cried out! He didn't speak, as if it was a passing thought like: "Oh by the way, did you know the Lord is coming?" He cried out! He cried! There was urgency! There was passion! He was risking his life to proclaim the Lord's coming. When he came out to the desert, and began to tell everyone to repent, he was on the way to his death. Why did he do it? He had no choice. Only God can give that kind of courage; and John the Baptist had known the Lord from the time he was inside his mother's womb. "When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the baby leapt in her womb." (Luke 1:41)

Did John know what kind of road they would prepare for the Lord? Did he ever, for one moment, consider it could be the Road to Calvary? God, the Father in Heaven did not reveal the whole plan to John. If He had, would John have been able to lay the groundwork for our Lord's first coming? He told everyone who would listen, to repent. Did those who were present, that joyful day, hear with their heads and act through their hearts? Did John's words find a place in their lives? When Jesus was baptized by John in the River Jordan and the Father's words descended from Heaven: "This is My beloved Son. My favor rests on Him." (Matt 3:17) was a thorn planted in their hearts? Then, why did they, three years later, place a Crown of thorns on His Head?

Our Lord received word that John had been beheaded, John, His messenger and dear cousin, the one who recognized Him, while He was still in His Mother's womb. He was dead! What did Jesus do? He went away to pray. Did He grieve? Had He seen the good that John could have continued doing and was now silenced? Or did He know in His Heart of hearts that John had lived for one purpose and that was to proclaim His coming, to pave the way for Him, the Redeemer, to save the world? John's words, "He must increase while I must decrease." (John 1:30) were they coming to pass? Did Jesus grieve for the loss to the world of this great prophet? Did the Father come to Him and prepare Him for His total mission?

When did Jesus begin His way of the Cross? Was it at Cana, the night His Mother turned to Him and said "They have no wine?" Was it when He performed His first miracle, changing the water into wine? Was Jesus trying to tell His Mother that if He does that, the world will begin to know Who He is, His walk will begin, and life as they have known it, will be no more? Was that really what He was saying when He answered His Mother: "Woman why turn to Me? My hour has not come yet?" (John 2:4) Was Jesus trying to buy one more night of normality before starting His Ministry and His long journey to the Cross? Did Mother Mary understand that she was asking Him to begin the journey that could only end up at Calvary? Could she have still said "Do whatever He tells you?" And now, she still is saying the same thing, really, at every apparition, basically "Do whatever He tells you."

Eight days have passed since that very special moment when the world stood still and Our Savior was born. We see Joseph and Mary bringing the Infant Jesus to the Temple in Jerusalem, in keeping with the Mosaic laws. They were following the tradition of their people, in obedience to the tenets of their Faith: "Every first-born male must be consecrated to the Lord." (Luke 2:23-24) They knew this Child was the Son of God and above the ordinances that man must follow; but never, for one moment, did they think this precluded them from obeying the law of their ancestors. Therefore, they made the journey from Bethlehem to Jerusalem. They weren't prepared for what was to happen to them there.

The Apostle to the Gentiles

In the history of our Church, no man stands out more clearly as a zealot and role model, than does Saint Paul the Apostle. The Church as we know it today, the Church of the Gentiles, would not exist were it not for the unceasing pursuit of Paul to bring the Gospel to the four corners of the earth. He took to heart, Jesus' command, "Go into the whole world, and proclaim the good news to all creation."

Paul has always impressed us by his singleness of purpose, his unflinching courage, his relentless drive, and his ability to stir men's hearts, whether by his public speaking, or by his writings. Luke has chronicled the experiences of Paul in the Acts of the Apostles. They read like tales of high adventure. Paul's letters have inspired the greatest minds of our Church, including, but not limited to St. Augustine, St. Thomas Aquinas, St. Francis of Assisi, St. Anthony, St. John of the Cross, and St. Teresa of Avila. Read about any of the great Saints; you'll find the teachings of Paul. Of all the Apostles, for us, he is the most touchable, the most approachable, the most identifiable. From this, you can gather that we are great fans of St. Paul.

Visions of Saint John Bosco

"Saint John Bosco, better known as Don Bosco, is one of the great apostles of the Nineteenth Century. His ministry was to the children of Turin, in Northern Italy, victims of the Industrial Revolution in that country at that time. Don Bosco was God's gift to the Church of that century. The magnetism of Don Bosco reached out and touched souls all over the world. He was one of the most multi-faceted diamonds, the Lord has ever given us. In addition to being a pied-piper to the young, attracting them, embracing them, protecting them, guiding them, he founded a Religious Order, was an author, a super church-builder, as well as a visionary and prophet."

While there are so many cuts in the diamond we call St. John Bosco, so many aspects of the life and ministry of St. John Bosco that we could write about, we want to limit ourselves in this book to his visions and dreams, his prophecies of Heaven, Hell and Purgatory. Most of these were connected with his ministry to the children of his oratory; but we can all take lessons from these messages he received from the Lord. We're going to paraphrase the dream, because there is just so much to cover, but we do recommend you read more about him.

Hello to all my family and friends! I want to share with you all my favorite TRUE story about St. Michael, as a reminder during these dark times to pray to the Holy Angels. When we feel surrounded by darkness, overwhelmed or anxious and in need of protection, we should always call upon them; they are powerful companions given to us by God. You know that scripture says, “Our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers, against the rulers of the world of this darkness, against the spirits of wickedness in the high places.” So, when we feel evil oppress us, we can ask the Holy Angels for their help and protection.

This story is the account of Saint Michael’s protection of a young U.S. Marine in the Korean War, who prayed to him every morning. He wrote this letter to his mother as he recovered in a hospital. Navy Chaplain Father Walter Muldy received a copy of this letter and speaking to the soldier, his mother, and the leader of his unit, confirmed the truth of this story.

St. Elizabeth Ann Seton

“He is more within us than we are ourselves.”

St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, or as we knew her when we were children, Mother Seton, is the first American-born Saint we have written about. She was born in New York City, just as we were. When I was a child, I attended a Catholic parochial school, St. Athanasius in the Bronx, taught by those beautiful Sisters of Charity. They wore funny little bonnets which covered their heads, like the pictures you see of Mother Seton, not the type we typically identified with Nuns, especially after having seen Ingrid Bergman in “The Bells of St. Mary.” These good Sisters of Charity would read to us from the Lives of the Saints two or three times a week as I recall. These were exciting stories of holy people who had lived good lives, set an example for the world, and went to Heaven. Usually, there were Miracles attached to their lives, or apparitions of Our Lord Jesus and His Mother Mary.

The lIfe of Saint Thomas Becket
Thomas Becket was born on the Feast Day of St. Thomas the Apostle, in 1118. He lost both his parents when he was twenty one. He was educated with the Canons regular. At twenty-four, he obtained a position in the home of the Archbishop of Canterbury. He received minor orders; the Archbishop was so fond of him, Thomas obtained many favors. He was ordained deacon, in 1154, and then the Archbishop appointed him Archdeacon of Canterbury. Now, this was an important position, second only to that of a Bishop or Abbot. The Archbishop entrusted his most delicate affairs to him to manage, seldom doing anything without asking his advice. He sent him to Rome on a very important mission. Thomas Becket never gave the Archbishop cause to regret the confidence he placed in him.

In the early morning hours of December 9, 1531, the frost was still on the ground. All living things, such as flowers and grass, and leaves on the trees, had died for the winter, waiting for the warmth of Spring to breathe life back into them. Juan Diego was a simple Indian. He had been converted just recently to the Catholic Faith. He and his wife were baptized in the Church of Santiago, built out of the rubble of the destruction of the Aztec temple of Huitzilpochtli. Juan had risen from bed before dawn on this Saturday morning to attend Mass in honor of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception. After Mass, he was to take lessons at the Indian school, run by the Franciscans, for those newly converted to the faith.

As he passed Tepeyac hill, a blanket of warmth and peace overtook him. He could hear the sound of sweet angelic voices singing above him, coming from the top of the hill. He had never heard anything like it before. He listened intently. They stopped. Then their voices echoed from a great distance. They began again. He was overcome by the angelic melody. After a short while there was silence again. Then one single voice rang out to him like a bell.

“Little Juan, Juan Dieguito”.

This should have been unusual to Juan, because the voice was so young and sweet that it had to come from someone much younger than his 57 years, and yet she spoke to him as if he were her child. That didn’t concern him, however. He darted up the hill as quickly as his legs could carry him. The sight he beheld filled his heart with such joy, he thought it would burst. But the dazzling beauty of what he saw before him made him freeze on the spot. He couldn’t catch his breath.

There before him was the most beautiful lady he had ever seen. She was young; she was regal. She did not look of this world. He had never imagined anything that even closely resembled the vision before his eyes. He had no idea of who she might be, but he didn’t care. He wanted to be swallowed up by the elegance of the lady. Everything around her sparkled like the finest diamonds. Gold reflected from her garments. She wore the most exquisite gown he had ever seen. Even the rocks and bushes glistened from the reflection of her. She spoke to him.

WHAT IS IT ALL ABOUT? WHAT HAPPENED IN LOURDES?

Why did Mary come? What was so important at this time in history, in this country? It’s easy in retrospect to understand the need for divine intervention in 1858. The Church had gone through one of its worst periods possible in Europe. It had not quite recovered from the French Revolution. New governments, new revolutions attacked the Church and the people. In 1848, the Archbishop of Paris was murdered when yet another revolution took place in France. It then spread itself to Rome. The Pope’s Prime Minister was murdered. The Papal Palace was attacked. Many were wounded or killed. It became violent to the point of driving Pope Pius IX out of the Vatican State. Belief and trust in the promise of Jesus waned badly. It seemed as if the Church was tolling its death knell. Louis Napoleon brought his French troops to the aid of the Church temporarily, and the Pope was able to return to Rome. But the calm was shortlived. The war clouds loomed over the horizon again. Satan poised his troops in preparation for the final destruction of the Church.

In 1854, in the midst of this, and in the face of massive opposition, one of Mary’s staunchest supporters, Pope Pius IX proclaimed to the world what had been believed down through the centuries, but had never been made a Dogma of the Church. THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION was declared fact, and all Catholics were required to believe this. There had been a popular heresy spreading throughout Europe at this time, Pantheism, which claimed that man was equal with God. By this proclamation, Our Lord Jesus through the Pope declared that with the exception of Jesus, only Mary was conceived without Original Sin. The rest of the human race are heirs of Adam and Eve, and all that goes with it.

This proclamation caused more problems than it meant to solve. Rumbling went on inside the Church, and outside in Protestant circles. It was outrageous, they said, to give this singular honor to a woman. Shades of Lucifer! He, the once favored angel of God, made this same statement when told that a woman would be Queen of Heaven and Earth, of all the Angels and the Saints. His pride couldn’t take this. He and his band of angels revolted against God and Heaven. The cry of Mica-el, (Who is Like God?) reverberated the Heavens. With Michael the Archangel at the helm, the loyal angels of God cast Lucifer and his pack down into the black hole of hell. Lucifer has hated the name of Mary since that time. Under the influence of Satan, the enemies of the Church claimed Mary was from Adam as we all are; that she came into the world with the same stain of sin that everyone else was born with. “It was one thing for the peasants, the uninformed, to believe in this superstition”, they ranted. “How could the Church make this farce into dogma?”

Our Lady of Patience, my Mary, who has never given up on us in 2,000 years, waited. One year went by. The situation was bad. Two years went by. Not much change took place in the attitudes of her children towards the new Dogma of the Immaculate Conception. The third year passed. But still she waited. And then she did the predictable. She found a remote town of no great importance, and within that speck on the earth, she chose a simple child of the poorest family in the region, and led her to a garbage dump. From that vantage point she was to send out a message to the world for all time, loud and clear, confirmation of Pope Pius’ IX dogma, in the statement she made in the 16th Apparition on the Feast of the Annunciation,

QUE SOY ERA IMMACULADA COUNCEPCIOU

I AM THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION

She even spoke the words in a local patois, or dialect, rather than the language of the country, to a child who had no idea

“All we can do now, is pray!”When all else fails, when there is nothing left to do, we pray. A last ditch effort; we’ve tried everything else; it’s out of our control; now all that is left is to pray. Instead, we should begin by praying, recognizing that the most powerful tool we have is Prayer.

Saint Paul said: “Put on the armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the Principalities and the Powers, against the world rulers of the present darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness on high.”

Now, we are in the best of times; we are in the worst of times. Our battle is not with humans, as St. Paul tells us. It is truly a battle, possibly the final battle for our souls and those precious souls of our families.

It is popularly believed Arius was born in Libya, in 270 A.D. He is credited with having started one of the most deadly heretical sects to attack the Early Church that of Arianism. It has continued assaulting the Church until today, under many titles.

Our first encounter with Arius is somewhere between 300-311 A.D., when he joined up with a group of heretics called Meletians. Evidently, he did not find what he was searching for; he left them.

He then managed to get himself ordained a deacon of the Catholic Church by Peter of Alexandria who was Bishop at the time. Evidently his loyalties were still with the Meletians, because when they were censured, he bitterly criticized the Church, and came out against her. He was excommunicated by the same Bishop who had ordained him deacon, Bishop Peter of Alexandria!

This is the story of a precious child of God, who was born into royalty, yet never used or abused it. It is the story of a great woman, a daughter, a wife, a widow, a benefactress of the poor, a glowing example of a soul endeavoring to love her Lord more purely, yet faithful to her calling as wife and mother. As the story of her life unfolds, you will see, in addition to the titles attributed to her above, we could add these below to the number: Patroness of bakers, beggars, charitable societies, charitable workers, countesses, parents who have lost children to death, the innocent who are falsely accused, homeless people, hospitals, those having problems with in-laws, nursing homes, people in exile, the faithful persecuted for their love of Mother Church, Sisters of Mercy, Tertiaries (Third Order), and on and on. Quite a rich list for one whose life would be snuffed out at the young age of twenty-four!

Bob and Penny wrote about Catholic Saints in the Church of yesterday and today, and shared them in a way that can be understood by all.

They wrote about these Saints in their simple and engaging style, which has placed them among the most popular Catholic writers of the day.
These Catholic Saints suffered rejection by their peers, discrimination because of sex, and how they rose above all of it to
become movers and shakers of the world.

There is a common thread, which gave them the strength to go on when others would have backed down - their devotion to the Holy Eucharist and Mother Mary and an unbending commitment to their vows,

most especially that of obedience.

and acceptance of their Crosses and suffering!

Mother Angelica wrote this about Saints and Suffering.

"If there is any subject that needs to be addressed in this day and age, it's suffering! That is precisely why this particular book is so necessary. Many of us shirk from suffering and run from the Cross. In the face of suffering, how many of us can muster up the courage and faith to proclaim with Saint Andrew, the Apostle, "O Good Cross, made beautiful by the Body of the Lord: long have I desired you, ardently have I loved you, unceasingly have I sought you out; and now you are ready for my eager soul. Receive me from among men and restore me to my Master - so that by means of you He may receive me, who by means of You dying redeemed me"?

To the obstinate and irreligious, suffering is a cruel mystery. But to those sincerely striving for union with God, suffering is a coveted treasure. To prove this point, we can look to the Prophets, the Apostles, and the Saints. The Prophets considered suffering to be a call from God to repentance, while Apostles saw it as "a happy privilege" to imitate their Master. The Saints ardently desired a share in the Passion of Christ and thought of His Cross as a rare and beautiful diamond. But above all, to discover the true value of suffering, we look to Mary, the Queen of All Saints. It was her silent "fiat" at the Foot of the Cross that revealed the hidden grandeur of every cross.

If we desire holiness, we-like all the holy ones who have gone before us-must follow in the blood-stained Footprints of Our Savior. To do this, we must accept our crosses with love. Let us not be afraid to boldly proclaim: "Jesus, I accept all of the sufferings in my life with the same love that You accepted the pain in Your Life. I do not understand Your Plan, but I trust Your Love and my love reaches out to You with the hope of being lost in Your embrace!"

Stretched out upon the Cross, Jesus' arms are opened wide to receive us-"And when I am lifted up from the earth, I shall draw all men to Myself" (John 12:32). At that moment, a moment of "great weakness", the act of Redemption was wrought. At that moment of humiliation and infamy, all men of faith obtained the strength to endure the sufferings that the Father permitted in their lives.

Jesus continually tells us that the cross is a vital part of our lives: "If anyone wants to be a follower of Mine, let him renounce himself and take up his cross every day and follow Me"

The prolife candidate will win!

How can I say that! Because God Wills it.

Here is some information for all of us to consider.
1. If you are surprised that we are in this mess here in America, then you have not been following the events of the last 300 years, all leading to our present situation.
A lot of our present Godlessness started with the Enlightenment of the late 18th century which started the path of Atheism.
2. The Blessed Mother has been warning us about the dangers and errors coming our way for centuries.
In La Salette France 1846, she warned us about secularism and lack of Faith among the faithful.
In Fatima Portugal 1917, she warned us about wars and Socialism and other errors.
In Akita Japan 1973, she warned us again about sickness and destruction if we not return to God.
I have included some links below for more information about these Approved Apparitions of our Lady.

Here is what we need to remember!
Pray and Sacrifice. Turn back to God. Most important keep in mind the words of Our Lady of Fatima - "In the end My Immaculate Heart will Triumph!"

We are living the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. This triumph will most likely not be a single event but many events over time.

I believe we have experienced some already. For example the election of 2000 was decided by the US Supreme Court on December 12 Feast Day of Our Lady of Guadalupe the Patron of the Americas!

The present battle is most connected to Right to Life and Life begins at Conception. For this very reason please implore our Lady of the Immaculate Conception Feast Day December to intercede for America and settle this election mess. Yes of course we should ask for a big miracle to reveal the truth and uncover the deception and fraud.

I encourage you to:

Pray the Rosary
Pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet
Pray the Abandonment Prayer
Pray these every day until you die, and do not stop when things get better.

God will work miracles is Prayer is the key!

Saint Martin de Porres was born of John de Porres, a Spanish nobleman and Knight of the Order of Alcantara, and a black free woman, Anna Velazquez.

Martin’s father was not very happy to find his child was black. He did not want to be connected with the child in any way.

As a matter of fact, on the baptismal record there was no mention of the father at all. The Baptismal certificates read only "Martin, son of an unknown father." But some years later, he officially acknowledged Martin as being his son. We’re not sure if John ever married Anna Velazquez.

If he did, he didn’t treat her very well. He spent most of his time in other countries, leaving Anna and the children, Martin and his sister Joan to fend for themselves.

Though Martin was not from a poor background, you would not have known it by the way he and his family lived. They were always at least borderline poverty, and sometimes full-blown poverty.

But none of this had any detrimental effect on Martin. If anything, it gave him an understanding and empathy for his poor brothers and sisters.

From his earliest days, he focused completely on his Lord present in the tabernacle of all the churches of Lima and in helping out the poor. His mother became furious with him in the early days.

She would send Martin shopping for food, entrusting to him the meager pennies the family had, just enough to get some bread and a few necessities to see them through their meals.

Martin inevitably took the money and gave it to the poor.

Our Lady Who Cried

"Bob and I have traveled all over the world, everywhere from the Shrines of the Holy Land to the Shrines of Europe, Mexico and Canada. But although we had pilgrimaged to Italy many times, we had never visited the land of my ancestors. I think, in all of us, there is an unquenchable thirst to visit the land of our ancestors. For me, that is Sicily. My father was born there and came to this country at age three, and my maternal grandparents' roots were also in Sicily. One year, we decided to pack up our daughter and grandson and find Sicily!"

Saint Paul of the Cross was born Paul Francis Danei, on the 3rd of January, 1694, the second of sixteen children. One of his brothers, John Baptist would be very instrumental in the work Our Lord had chosen for St. Paul. His parents, although of nobility, were neither affluent nor privileged. Even though the town hall at Castellazzo had once been the family palace, St. Paul's father, a cloth merchant, was always in serious debt. Because of the financial situation, St. Paul had to discontinue his education at a boarding school. At one point, things became so dire, St. Paul pawned all his belongings, to help his father avoid disgrace. This was a great sacrifice for someone in Paul's position, but it prepared him for giving up far greater things in the future, and for receiving great gifts in return.

When we wrote on the life of St. Teresa in our book "Saints and other Powerful Women in the Church," little did we think that we would some day, be using her visions of Heaven, Hell and Purgatory to affirm these important truths of our Catholic Faith. As we have said so many times, the lives of the Saints are not about old bones, long gone and forgotten, but alive in the lives they led, in their living examples of holiness and virtue for us to follow, in the path they have paved by the teachings they have left behind, as alive in a smaller degree as the Word of God found in Holy Scripture. As we delved into the many books on Heaven, Hell and Purgatory and combed Holy Scripture trying to discern what the Lord wanted in this book, we felt a haunting urgency to forge on despite many obstacles placed in our way, the kind of attacks mentioned by St. Teresa in her book, "Vida," (life) often good things or good people with good intentions. But as we discover, day after day in our walk with the Lord and His Mother, when the Lord wants something done,

Victories of the Rosary

“All we can do now, is pray!” When all else fails, when there is nothing left to do, we pray. A last ditch effort; we’ve tried everything else; it’s out of our control; now all that is left is to pray. Instead, we should begin by praying, recognizing that the most powerful tool we have is Prayer.

Saint Paul said: “Put on the armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the Principalities and the Powers, against the world rulers of the present darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness on high.”

Now, we are in the best of times; we are in the worst of times. Our battle is not with humans, as St. Paul tells us. It is truly a battle, possibly the final battle for our souls and those precious souls of our families.

God’s Messenger of Divine Mercy

Bob and Penny Lord trace the life of Saint Faustina and the Origin of Divine Mercy Devotion.

There is a time for Mercy and a time for Justice. Expelling Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden was an act of God’s Justice. But even then, as the Angel was blocking the way to the Tree of Life in the Garden of Eden,1 and ushering our first parents out into the cold world, God was showing His Mercy to us through His promise of the Messiah, the Redeemer. God has always lived up to His Word. Throughout Salvation history, we have been beneficiaries of God’s Mercy. And very few times has He let loose His Justice. Sodom and Gomorrah was God’s Justice. Noah and the Ark was God’s Justice, but also mingled with God’s Mercy. The miracle of Moses and the Jews crossing the Red Sea was God’s Mercy, coupled with God’s Justice on the Pharaoh’s charioteers. When finally we are in the last days, with possibly the end of the world at hand, and we are about to face the Last Judgment, at that time the God of Mercy will give way to the God of Justice.

Presently there are two schools of thought about what might be happening.

Position 1. It will continue to get worse and and worse until finally Jesus comes and puts an end to the ungodliness.

Position 2. It will continue to get worse for a time than God will intervene and things will get better. They will be a renewal and people will serve God again.

Nobody including me is a fortune teller, however there are some signs and evidence leading to position 2 versus position 1.

Saint Robert Bellarmine

Feast day - September 17

Cardinal, Doctor of the Church,

Father of the Counter-Reformation

Saint Robert Bellarmine, brilliant follower of St. Ignatius of Loyola, has been credited with being one of the most outspoken critics of the heresies of Martin Luther and John Calvin. He focused the Church of his time on the true teachings of the Catholic Faith, which were contradicted by the Protestant Reformation. He is one of the powerful men in this book which the Lord sent to construct a suit of Spiritual Armor to defend His Church in this crucial time of crisis. He was so brilliant that the Pope would not, could not allow him to retire to a small Jesuit novitiate of Sant’Andrea towards the end of his life. He was too needed. The Holy See was not ready yet for him to back off from his defense of the Church. He was put in our midst in our great hour of need, and he fought valiantly to defend and protect the people of God.

Our Saint was born in the beautiful countryside of Verdu in Catalonia, Spain in or around 1581. There's not much known about his childhood, other than he was born of a distinguished old family of Catalonia. However, his family instilled in him the love of Jesus and the love of his fellow man. Otherwise, how could he possibly have dedicated his life to helping the poorest of the poor, the lowest of the low. From an early age, it was well known that he was destined to live his life for the Church. So when he was old enough, he was enrolled in the University of Barcelona.

Augustine, Saint, Sinner & Son
“Our heart is restless until it rests in You.”Saint Augustine and Saint Monica Gift Collections

When we speak of Saints, not meaning to be disrespectful, we sometimes say, they were sinners who became Saints. If there is one, the world knows most for that distinction, it would have to be Saint Augustine. But he is so much more.

We talk of touchability and we think of this Saint. If we’re not careful, we ignore his strength, and become comfortable in his weakness. We speak of conversion, and he comes right to the forefront of our minds. It’s so reassuring; St. Augustine had 30 years to reform his life. We like that idea; convert me, Lord, but can You wait ‘till tomorrow!

But as we travel deeper into his life, we discover not only the son Augustine, we encounter the Saint of Prayer, that relentless petitioner, his mother Monica. He led her to her sanctification, as she led him to his. This is a story of a priest and his mother. It’s a story of love, powerful, unconditional, untiring love. It’s not too popular a story, in our present age, because: number one, it’s true; number two, it’s about hope; number three it’s about faithfulness; number four, it’s about conversion; number five, it’s about love and a mother’s love, at that. This all adds up to that very unpopular message of the Gospel. But I think, it’s time for the Gospel. It’s time for Miracles. It’s time for sinners to turn into Saints. It’s time for you and me.

“Our heart is restless until it rests in you.” This, probably the most quoted statement of St. Augustine’s Confessions, speaks clearly of man’s struggle on earth and his search for God. We are told, by Jesus, the road is narrow; yet, not listening, we insist on taking that wide road which is so broad, we do not notice when we veer off.

God wastes nothing. As He is creating us, He is already formulating a plan, His Dream for us. Everything He places in us, every precious ingredient, including that most precious of all, free will, is a preparation for our complete life with Him in Heaven. Those of us who are parents remember our joy, as we planned, before our babies were born, the hopes and the dreams we had of what they would be like; what course they would take; what kind of life they would lead. We hold our breath until they are born, praying. When we see these little ones, for the first time, we just know they have to be the most perfect (outside of Jesus and Mary), ever born.

We hear the words, “He delighted in His creation. He was well pleased. It was good.” Do we ever think how He, our God, feels, when we throw the gift of ourselves, He so carefully fashioned, back to Him, discarding His creation for the plastic substitute the world offers? Thank God, He has generously given us a Heavenly Mother, and an earthly mother like St. Monica, who beg Him for mercy for us, for just a little more time.

When we wrote of Mother Mary and her many faces, we called it a love story, a story of a Mother of unconditional love, who, over the centuries, has been intermediary between us and Her Son, and Her Son and us. Parents, as you read this chapter, bring your children, as St. Monica did before you, to the foot of the Altar. Children, read this chapter as your very own. You may find yourself within the pages of this Saint, sinner, and son, Augustine.

Somenone has said that if Christians really understood the power we have available to us through prayer, we might be speechless. Did you know that during World War II there was an advisor to Churchill who organized a group of people who dropped what they were doing every day at the prescribed hour for one minute to collectively pray for the safety of England, its people and peace!

There is now a group of people organizing the same thing here in America, We are Journeys of Faith are part of this movement. If you would like to participate:

Every evening at 8PM Central time, stop what you are doing and spend one minute praying for the safety of the United States of America, our troops, our citizens, our leaders, and for a return to a Godly Nation.

If you have a smart phone - set an alarm to pray one minute starting at 8PM Central time.

Please pass this along to your prayerful family and friends.

Our Prayers are the most important asset we have.

“Born poor and humble of heart,

“Undaunted champion of the Catholic Faith,

“Zealous to restore all things in Christ,

“Crowned a holy life with a holy death”[1]

Who was Pope Saint Pius X?

This is the story of a Pope who refused to stay buried in the annals of history. The boy who became Pope always worked with the image of Mother Church and her founder Jesus Christ before him, leading the way, as if on a path, beckoning him to follow. He never ceased being the boy who worked and struggled endlessly to keep alive the true teachings of the Church!

The day Bernard was born, his mother raised him up to Heaven and consecrated him to God. Although she was gentle and loving, she was also firm and resolute. She was attentive to all her children, giving of herself completely, but with this her third born son, she knew in her heart she had been given a special gift from God and she wanted to nurture him and prepare him for his role on earth. The results: Bernard grew up obedient, brave, hardworking and surprisingly unspoiled, not unlike his other siblings.

He was one of seven children: Guy, Gerard, Humbeline and Nivard (who were all declared Blessed), Andrew and Bartholomew. All were intelligent and had the finest education. But whereas his brothers engaged in arts of knighthood, possibly preparing for military careers or knighthood, Bernard entered Châtillon on the Seine pursuing a career as a secular canon. Even then he showed the spirit of a future contemplative, choosing to be alone. He excelled, rising above all the dreams and aspirations his parents had for him. He was an outstanding student! His parents moved into one of their homes near the school their children were attending, so they could be close to them.

Sister Moon to Brother Sun

Saint Clare of Assisi was the first female member of the Franciscan community.

She fought against the whole Franciscan community, including popes, to maintain the original Rule of St. Francis.

After his death, she spent the rest of her life caring for her ladies.

She would not even die before her rule for the Poor Clares was approved by the Pope.

Clare is a role model for all women in headship, not exclusively of the Church, but especially of the Church.

She may very well have been placed on this earth to be a prototype for Superiors of Religious Communities, male and female, for centuries to come.

Saint Clare could easily be the standard bearer for anyone who would lead a community of people, whether it be a Religious Community, as Superior, or a country, as President, Dictator, or King.

And her philosophy was not new, or complicated.

It was simple. "Love one another as I have loved you."

Founder of the Jesuits

Saint Ignatius of Loyola discovered a dark cave, virtually unknown because it was so overgrown with brush.

There, he would spend hours, sometimes all through the night, praying without interruption, except for the occasional sounds of God's four-legged and winged creatures calling out to one another.

The cave at Manresa was a battlefield, a lonely battlefield, with Ignatius battling one temptation, winning that battle only to be put to the test with another temptation and another battle.

Among other struggles, Saint Ignatius of Loyola imagined himself guilty of all types of sins, mistaking venial sin for mortal sin, battling alleged scruples and scrupulosity to the point of near desperation.

He did not know where to turn; it seemed to him that God had deserted him.

Then, he remembered hearing that God would come to his aid, if he fasted until his petition was granted.

Saint Ignatius of Loyola fasted from Sunday to the following Sunday.

St. Brigid or St. Bridget of Sweden is one of the most powerful women, who have graced Mother Church with their love and faithfulness. A little brusque at times, or as a dear Bishop once called Penny - a little forthright; she was considered a Prophet to Pope Gregory, as was St. Catherine of Siena. But whereas the Pope himself called her a Prophet, he did not have the fond affection toward her that he had for St. Catherine, who was strong like St. Brigid but gentle.

When did we stop singing this love song to our country?
It was so subtle; did it just sort of disappear with many of the other patriotic traditions that our country stood for? How many of us still remember this song, reminding us of the price paid by our fathers--the hopes and dreams of our ancestors, as they struggled in filthy disease-ridden holds of ships bringing them to a new land of promise and freedom for all? Writing about Mother Cabrini and the reason she came to our country, we became aware of the struggle, the crosses our families bore to give us a land of promise. Our grandparents never shared their pains. They were just happy to be Americans

March 25 was the Feast of the Annunciation. On this particular year, 1945, it fell on Palm Sunday. This is such an important season in our Church. But in those times, during the final days of the war, thoughts were not focused on Palm Sunday, or the Feast of the Annunciation, or even Easter, for that matter. Ida Peerdeman, the woman to whom Our Lady chose to come, called it a "hunger winter." Priests would visit private homes, rather than take a chance on Nazi retaliation for trying to perform religious ceremonies, like Masses, especially not in public places, like churches. On that day, Fr. Frehe, who had been Ida's spiritual director for many years, chose to visit Ida and her family, as he had done many times in the past.
The sisters and the Priest sat in the drawing-room, speaking of many things. We would imagine the condition of the war was the major topic of discussion. It seemed that their prayers were being answered; the enemy was being trounced by the foreign allies. Whatever it was, the visionary stated that they were in "deep conversation."
At a given point, Ida was distracted by a bright light emanating from a room, right outside the drawing room. She felt herself moving towards the light. Now remember, She had been involved in this conversation with her sisters and the Priest, and all of a sudden, she's just up and away, walking in the direction of the light, which only she can see. Where the wall of the room had been, a scene appeared before her. It was a sea of light, and what she described as "infinite depth." Ida described what happened next:
"And out of the depth I suddenly saw a figure coming forward, a living figure, a female form. I saw Her standing to my left above me, dressed in a long, white garment and wearing a sash, very feminine. She was standing with Her arms lowered and the palms of Her hands turned outwards, towards me. As I looked, something strange came over me. I thought, `It must be the Blessed virgin; it can't be otherwise.'"

My favorite Image of Blessed Mother as a child. Every Tuesday night we had devotions to Our Lady of Perpetual Help
According to tradition, Our Lady of Perpetual Help is considered the oldest Icon in the Church. It is believed that the first Icon of the Virgin of the Passion (or Our Lady of Perpetual Help) was in fact painted by St. Luke. And who better than he to paint this sorrowful image of Mother and Son; for St. Luke, of all the Gospel writers, wrote most personally of the Lord in His infancy up to His death on the Cross. So much so, with details that only the Mother of Jesus could know, the likelihood is that Our Lady, Herself, must have shared them with him.
It is further believed that St. Luke painted the Icon of Our Blessed Mother and Her Son Jesus, while She was still in Jerusalem. When he showed the finished painting to Her, it is said, She blessed him and the Icon, saying, Her grace would accompany the Icon. And so it has, with countless miracles accompanying the Icon wherever it has been venerated, asking the intercession of Our Lady of Perpetual Help. There were so many miracles, so many petitions answered, in the year 1207, Pope Innocent III declared that the Virgin Mary's soul had to have entered the Icon, as She was so radiantly beautiful and the Icon had been such a powerful instrument in bringing about so many miracles through Our Lady's intervention.The Icon begins its travels.

Saint. Thomas Aquinas is so outstanding. The Lord has given him the ability to take very complex matters, such as the differences between animal, human and Angel, and break them down into logical, extremely understandable terms. He was particularly enraptured by Angels, as are we. He made a study of them. I have to believe he got a lot of help in his research from the Angels themselves, in the form of Angelic inspiration, or possibly by a direct line.
We pray they will be as kind to us, as we try to explain their culture, and their role in Salvation History in general, and in our lives, more specifically. Strangely enough, it's easier to salute their power and accomplishments, than it is to actually explain them. However, we have an urgency to try. We want you to feel as strongly about them, as close to them as we do, and as in love with them as we are, so you can take advantage of the dominance the Lord has given them on our behalf. They're just waiting for you to ask them to use their strength for you. Sometimes, they don't even wait for you to ask. You know, when something wonderfully impossible has happened to you, it's usually the work of your Angels. If ever there was a time when we needed the Angels, it's now.

Saint Bernardine of Siena

Bob and Penny Lord

“Apostle of Italy” - Friar Minor - Missionary - Reformer

Our love story with St. Bernardine or San Bernardino, as we have known and loved him, began a long time ago - about the time we got to know St. Catherine of Siena and the Miracle of the Eucharist of Siena. For, you see, right adjacent to the Basilica of St. Francis is the Oratory of St. Bernardine. Each time, we would go to visit the Miracle of the Eucharist of Siena, we would see the sign of the Oratory; but along with it, the dreaded sign - the Oratory was being restored! Finally, one day, the door was open! and so we went in and took pictures. You could see the restoration had not been completed, if even started. That was over twenty years ago. But God has patience with us, and here we are twenty-three books later writing about our dear St. Bernardine.

“All we can do now, is pray!” When all else fails, when there is nothing left to do, we pray. A last ditch effort; we’ve tried everything else; it’s out of our control; now all that is left is to pray. Instead, we should begin by praying, recognizing that the most powerful tool we have is Prayer.

Saint Paul said: “Put on the armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the Principalities and the Powers, against the world rulers of the present darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness on high.”

Now, we are in the best of times; we are in the worst of times. Our battle is not with humans, as St. Paul tells us. It is truly a battle, possibly the final battle for our souls and those precious souls of our families. What is the armor of God? What better armor can you wear than that of the Virgin Mary? Who did you run to when you were a child? Wasn’t it to Mama? We need our Mama. I remember when I was a child, and I would have a nightmare. Who did I run to? My mother! And what did she say? “Did you pray before you fell asleep?” Each time, I had forgotten to pray. Then, when she sent me back to my bed with, “Now say your prayers and you won’t have any more bad dreams.” I really didn’t have too much confidence that it would work. Although her reassuring words turned out to be prophecy, I never believed. But, it always worked!

Our Lady of Akita - Mother Mary speaks to a Nun in Akita Japan 1973
When Sister Agnes recounted the conversation with Our Lady in her journal, she made sure to point out that the voice of the Mother of God was so beautiful, it sounded like Angels singing from Heaven. Our Lady spoke to her:

"`My daughter, My novice, you have obeyed Me well in abandoning all to follow Me. Is the infirmity of your ears painful? Your deafness will be healed, be sure. Be patient. It is the last trial. Does the wound in your hand cause you to suffer? Pray in reparation for the sins of men. Each person in this community is My irreplaceable daughter. Do you say well the prayer of the Handmaids of the Eucharist? Then let us pray it together.'" When Sister Agnes began to pray, the Angel reappeared. The three prayed together. When Sister prayed,

"Most Sacred Heart of Jesus,

present in the Holy Eucharist,"

Our Lady stopped her and asked her to insert the word Truly. The Angel also included the word Truly Present in the Eucharist.

From that time on, the prayer of the Handmaids of the Eucharist included the term "Truly Present in the Eucharist."Access all of our media online at one location Our Lady of Akita full text

Words from Heaven to us - Our Lady of Fatima Apparitions
The children saw what they thought was a flash of lightning streak across the sky. They were sure it meant that rain was coming. But it was followed by complete silence. No wind, not even a breeze broke the calm and quiet of the moment. They were confused. There were no clouds in the sky. But it must have been lightning. They had better get the flock to safety. Another burst of light flew by them. They couldn’t move.
Then, gently, quietly, what seemed like a bubble of light rested on top of the holmoak tree in front of them, and Mary was there. The most powerful message Mary had ever given the world was beginning. Years later, Lucia described the scene,
“It was a lady, clothed in white, brighter than the sun, radiating a light more clear and intense than a crystal cup filled with sparkling water, lit by burning sunlight.”Access all of our media online at one location https://www.patreon.com/bobandpennylordFatima media

The Conversion of a Cultist that later Built a Basilica in Pompeii
Seldom in history do we find a Shrine and a village that owes its existence to one man and his dream. As unique as this is, rarer still is a Sanctuary village with the ancient heritage of pre-Christ Pompeii. As this book is about Our Lady and the miracles that came about through her intercession, you will see how She played an integral part in guiding one man to build Her Shrine, a Sanctuary where the needy could come, with their cares and worries and She would answer them. But before we go into the wonders of Our Lady of Pompeii, we must delve into the heart and soul of one man, a knight who loved His Lady and wanted to do Her honor.

Where you find the extraordinary, you will find the Holy Spirit guiding the way. And so it was with Blessed Bartolo Longo, who was in the Hands of the Spirit in his personal life, as well as the founder of one of the most famous and visited Sanctuaries in the history of the Church, especially by Italians and pilgrims from all over the world.

Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal and the Conversion of an Atheist
The Conversion of Ratisbonne
The most famous as well as dramatic account of a Miracle attributed to Our Lady’s intercession through the Miraculous Medal is that of Alphonse Ratisbonne. He was an Austrian Jew, very well off in material possessions, a man of the world. He harbored a great hatred for Catholics, and all things pertaining to the Catholic Church. This was due in part to the conversion of his older brother, George, to Catholicism. To make matters worse, he also became a priest. Alphonse never forgave his older brother, but blamed the Church for bewitching the man.17

In retrospect, it becomes so obvious that the bizarre incidents leading up to the dramatic instance of Ratisbonne’s conversion could not possibly have been coincidence.

What Happens when we Turn Away From God!

Our Lady of La Salette

LA SALETTE, 1846: OUR LADY WHO WEP

The visit of my Mary to earth on September 19, 1846 is usually referred to as OUR LADY OF TEARS or OUR LADY WHO WEPT. We sometimes believe that the only reason she is not weeping all the time is because she has the Beatific Vision of her Magnificent Son to comfort her. There’s an expression, “You can’t get hurt if you don’t stick your chin out”. She always sticks her chin out. She is always being hurt. If we study the history of the world, in particular the 16th through the 19th centuries, we become alarmingly aware that we’ve hurt Mary very deeply. However, very seldom do we ever hear her complain about the outrages committed against her. During her apparition to St. Catherine Laboure, she cried because of the chastisement that would come to France, and to the Religious Orders.

The irony of her visit to the two simple French children high above the tree line in La Salette, France, is that, again, the tears she shed were not for herself; she cried for us, her children. What an example she is, the suffering servant. What a heart she has. No wonder there is such devotion to her Immaculate Heart. It is so big; there’s enough room in her heart for the whole world.

One of the most rewarding events in the history of the Catholic Church was the Battle of Lepanto, which took place in 1571, forty years after Our Lady had appeared to Juan Diego on Tepeyac Hill (what is now the famous shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City). We, the people of God, have always been blessed and rewarded for the trust we have had in Our Lord Jesus and His Mother Mary. Whenever we have prayed the Rosary, They have granted us the power to overcome the enemy.
At about this time, without having any definite information on the progress of the battle, Saint Pope Pius V turned to the entire Christian world and asked them to begin a Rosary Crusade! And the result? Out of the 170 enemy galleys (ships) only 40 escaped! 130 were either sunk or captured. The Christian forces lost 15 galleys and they were able to free 13, 000 Christian slaves.

Visions of the Children of Fatima

The precious children of Fatima, Lucia, Jacinta and Francisco, have captured our hearts, as the brave trio who fought against all secular odds to keep a promise to Our Lady. She asked them to come to her on the 13th of each month for six months, in the year 1917; and against overwhelming odds, they said Yes!

Our Lady gave them important messages during that period of time, many of which they couldn't begin to understand. Some of the profound things she said to them were for them alone; others were for the world. But the drama of the Miracle of the Sun on October 13, 1917, witnessed by more than 70,000 people in the Cova da Iria, and as far off as the Azores mountains, overshadowed for a time many of the messages she gave these little people.

Over the years, we have had an opportunity to go through all the occurrences of that six month period which would change the world forever. Everything was important to them, but some things burned an impression on their hearts and minds, more than others. One of these events was a vision, rather than a message from our Lady.

Listen to the description of the world at the time of Saint Philip Neri and compare to our present times!
Apostle of RomeIn the time of Saint Philip Neri, the Church was at a low point. Renaissance had taken its toll on the spirituality of most religious in Rome. The Medicis controlled the College of Cardinals. Choice candidates became princes of the land, rather than of the Church. The writings had become extremely secular and pagan. Morals and morale were at an all-time low. Severe abuses were occurring, as a result of giving into the worldliness of Renaissance, and all it stood for. Everybody knew all about these abuses, but nobody did anything about them. [Is this not happening today?]

Saint Faustina & Divine Mercy

God’s Messenger of Divine Mercy

There is a time for Mercy and a time for Justice. Expelling Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden was an act of God’s Justice. But even then, as the Angel was blocking the way to the Tree of Life in the Garden of Eden,1 and ushering our first parents out into the cold world, God was showing His Mercy to us through His promise of the Messiah, the Redeemer. God has always lived up to His Word. Throughout Salvation history, we have been beneficiaries of God’s Mercy. And very few times has He let loose His Justice. Sodom and Gomorrah was God’s Justice. Noah and the Ark was God’s Justice, but also mingled with God’s Mercy. The miracle of Moses and the Jews crossing the Red Sea was God’s Mercy, coupled with God’s Justice on the Pharaoh’s charioteers. When finally we are in the last days, with possibly the end of the world at hand, and we are about to face the Last Judgment, at that time the God of Mercy will give way to the God of Justice.

Jesus Christ is Risen and Is Calling Us Back!
"He is Risen!"

I have been reflecting this Lent on what Our Lord may be saying to me and has been saying for a long time.

If any of you know me you know that sometimes I talk too much and at other times I say a few words.

Today I want to say a few words.
"Turn back to God with all your heart, soul and mind!"

In 1985 I could see a great opportunity and I got down on my knees and begged God to guide me to a place where I could be a small part of the Great Renewal that if upon us!

Saint Agnes of Montepulciano (Visions of Heaven, Hell and Purgatory)

God is so powerful! He is involved with His children! The Lord works in mysterious ways, when He wants to make His presence known to His people. The fact that He is always working in our lives is affirmed by all the Miracles He gives us. He’s also not beyond giving us a Miracle of the Cross to get our attention, to let us know beyond the shadow of a doubt that it was truly He who died on the Cross for us, and that it is He who continues to suffer for the sins of the world.

Following the unconditional love the Lord shows us through Miracles of the Cross is such a special and awesome gift. It bears witness to how strongly the Lord works with our welfare in Mind, in everything He does. Because of our conditional love, it’s hard for us to believe that God unreservedly loves us. We know we don’t deserve it. But as He proves to us in these Miracles, He loves us because He loves us. One time Penny asked the Lord how He could love her when she was ever going forward three steps and falling back two. The thought she was given was, “I love you because I love you. Now just accept that and let’s get on with it.”

The Lord proved His love for us, His children, through a Miracle of the Cross in a little town in northern Spain at the beginning of the Twentieth Century. It happened during Lent, the end of March, 1919. Two Capuchin priests were giving a Lenten retreat at their local church in the little village of Limpias, located in the area of Coruña. The Lord was blessing the congregation abundantly. You could feel the Power of His Presence in the church. You could tell that all was going well. The homilies were well accepted; the people were responding. The lines were long for the Sacrament of Reconciliation.

The account we will share with you is one of the most unusual Miracles of the Cross we have researched. In order to explain the Miracle of the Hill of Crosses, we must give you a little background on the Lithuanian people. They are a marvelous people, stronger and more faithful to the Church than most ethnic groups we have ever met. If the term, “Holy Stubbornness” ever applied to any group of people, the Lithuanians would be at the top of the list.

When Our Lord wants a message to get out to His Church, he raises up a powerful Saint to do the task. Such a Saint was Gertrude the Great! She was the one to plant the seed which would bloom through the hands of another powerful Saint and visionary, St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, four centuries later, and subsequently through Saint Faustina Kowalska in the 20th Century, through the Mission of Divine Mercy. Our Lord's mandate to St. Gertrude was to herald devotion to His Most Sacred Heart.

She came to us in the Thirteenth Century, a time of rampant heresy and glorious victory. The Lord promised that His Church, although besieged by persecution, would triumph in the end; in the Thirteenth Century, with His Infinite Humility, He raised up great Saints to bring this about. St. Gertrude received the title "the Great" partially because of the extraordinary gifts she received from the Lord, but we believe more for her total dedication to her Spouse Jesus.

We believe the Eucharist has been the underlying thread which has kept the Catholic Church going since the days of Our Lord Jesus. This is what has held us together through the most difficult periods in our history. We were told by a Church historian that the newly formed Church would not have survived two hundred years if it had not been for Our Lord Jesus in the Eucharist.

The Eucharist - Source and Summit

We know the Catholic Catechism calls the Eucharist the “Source and Summit of Ecclesial Life.” All other Sacraments and indeed all ecclesiastical ministries and works of the apostolate, are bound up with the Eucharist and are oriented toward It. For in the Blessed Eucharist is contained the whole spiritual good of the Church, namely Christ Himself,

Jesus Dies on the Cross

"If you're the Son of God, come down from that Cross. Come down and we'll believe.' Sure they will believe; they'll believe anything, just no Cross. No mortification, no self-denial." The shrill, piercing cry of the aging Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen ricocheted off the walls of the Church of St. Agnes, in New York City, on Good Friday, April 8, 1977. He continued, "Many sayI'll believe anything! I'll believe He's divine! I will believe in His Church; I will believe in His pontiff, only no Cross! no sacrifice!'"
Zealously love our Lord Jesus, and our brothers and sisters. Go to Him. He's waiting for you. Then see what graces will be bestowed upon your family, the Church, our country, the world by our Lord Who will not be surpassed in generosity.

We are in the days of great Saints and deadly sinners. Live your life with your eyes on Jesus and He will lead you to Sainthood and Home! Cast your lot with the enemy of God with his false, fleeting promises and he will not only betray you on earth, he will drag you down with him to the bowels of hell. Saints like St. Aloysius made a choice in life, while very young. He chose the crown awaiting him in Heaven rather than the temporary crown on earth which will tarnish. Look in the mirror! What do you see? Is that the one you want to stand before Our precious Lord, Who loved you so much, when asked,”How much do you love me?” opened His Arms wide on the Cross and said, “This much.” We love you!

You can be a Saint!

Jesus Carries His Cross

The Long Road to Calvary

John cried out, a lone voice in the desert:

"Prepare the way of the Lord; make straight His paths." (Matt 3:3) He cried out! He didn't speak, as if it was a passing thought like: "Oh by the way, did you know the Lord is coming?" He cried out! He cried! There was urgency! There was passion! He was risking his life to proclaim the Lord's coming. When he came out to the desert, and began to tell everyone to repent, he was on the way to his death. Why did he do it? He had no choice. Only God can give that kind of courage; and John the Baptist had known the Lord from the time he was inside his mother's womb. "When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the baby leapt in her womb." (Luke 1:41)

The Crowning with Thorns
Pilate, unable to move their hearts of stone, ordered our most precious Lord to be taken away. "The soldiers led Him away to the Praetorium. Then they stripped Him and dressed Him up in purple." (Mark 15:16-17) They twisted some thorns into a crown and pressed it down, piercing His Head. Further mocking Him, they placed a reed in His Hand, to represent a scepter. They contemptuously knelt before Him, hailing Him King of the Jews. When that sport ceased to entertain them, they took the reed from His Hand and struck Him, with it, over and over again on His Head. They spit at Him.

Saint Rosalia decided at a critical period in her life to become a hermit and live a life of prayer. The world as she knew it, held no attraction to her. She wanted to devote her life to Our Lord Jesus.

She gathered a few possessions--a wooden crucifix, a silver Greek cross, another of terracotta, a string of one large and 12 small prayer beads, and retired to a cave in Quisquina, amidst rocks and boulders, the better to be assured of peace and solitude with her Savior. There in the warmth of her love for our Beloved Lord, she made the decision to live the solitary life of a hermit. She abandoned the world in order to follow Jesus to the absence of all others.

St. Roch Pamphlet

Today I want to discuss Saint Joseph and in particular the book that has just been published about Consecration to Saint Joseph. Certainly we are in much much need of the intercession of Saint Joseph at this time.

In the midst of crisis, confusion, and a world at war with the Church, it's time to come home again to our spiritual father, St. Joseph. In this richly researched and lovingly presented program of consecration to St. Joseph, Fr. Donald Calloway, MIC, brings to life the wonders, the power, and the ceaseless love of St. Joseph, Universal Patron of the Church and the Terror of Demons.

"Devotion to Saint Joseph is one of the choicest graces that God can give to a soul., for it is tantamount to revealing the entire treasury of Our Lord's graces. When God wishes to raise a soul to greater heights, He unites it to Saint Joseph by giving it a strong love for the good Saint." Saint Peter Julian Eymard

He comes to us and shares with us, so that we can better relate to Him. We all say we want to get to know Jesus better, to take a closer walk with Him. But do we mean His walk to the Pillar, to be scourged? Or is it the Jesus Who drew crowds with His preaching, teaching and healing, we wish to encounter, the popular Jesus?

It is said that at a given point in time, he converted hundreds of thousands. Now how could one person do that all by himself? He had to have help from the Angels. The Angels were very active in his ministry. As a matter of fact, he wheeled and dealed with the Angels.

The Second Sorrowful Mystery of the Rosary

Our Lord Jesus loves us so much, He made detailed preparations for our well-being, right up to the end of His life. He wanted to have a last supper with His disciples. He had instructions for them. He wanted to be sure they understood their role in Salvation History, and how they were to conduct themselves. He wanted to leave them and His Church ammunition for the days ahead.

We have a great opportunity to take some of the pressure off Jesus' Head in the Garden of Gethsemane. Let's give up sinning! If each of us commits one less sin, or gives up sinning altogether, at least some of that pain will be alleviated. If we give up sins, His suffering will be less. And we'll really feel pretty good about ourselves. Try it! Do it!

Saint Frances of Rome had an Angel as her companion for over 27 years to guide and protect her.
Her community, the Oblates of Mary are still in existence and still wear the clothes of the noble ladies of Saint Frances' time.

In 1608, Frances was recognized by the Church and raised officially to the Communion of Saints. The church where she is buried was renamed Santa Francesca Romana.

Neither one of the two Angels who were her companions for the last twenty-seven years of her life was her Guardian Angel. As St. Thomas Aquinas said, when someone is chosen to lead or to direct others in the way of holiness, he or she is given additional Angels of a higher Choir. And so, it was with Saint Frances.

Lanciano is a small, medieval town , nestled in from the coast of the Adriatic Sea in Italy, halfway between San Giovanni Rotondo and Loreto. Everything about Lanciano smacks of the Eucharistic Miracle. Even the name of the town was changed from Anxanum (in ancient times), to Lanciano, meaning “THE LANCE”. Tradition has it that the centurion, named Longinus, who thrust the Lance into the side of Jesus, striking Him in the Tip of His Heart from which He shed blood and water, (in the Gospel account of the Crucifixion (Mk 15:29)) was from this town. After seeing the events which followed the piercing of Jesus’ heart, the darkening of the sun, and the earthquake, he believed thatChrist was the Savior. A more physical sign, however, was that Longinus had had poor eyesight, and after having touched his eyes with the water and blood from the side of Jesus, his eyesight was restored. What a perfect parallel the actions of the Centurion were to the Eucharistic Miracle. He touched the Heart of Jesus, was healed, and converted. He gave up the Army, went to Cappadocia, and was martyred for the faith. He is known now as Saint Longinus. His feast day is celebrated on March 15.
It was in the year 700 that the Miracle of the Eucharist occurred.

Saint Martin de Porres and the Miracle of the Mice

Martin was born in 1579, in Lima, Peru. It was only 83 years after Columbus placed a small Spanish flag on the island of San Salvador, claiming it and the entire new world for the Catholic Queen, Isabella, as it was she who had financed this expedition in thanksgiving to God for deliverance of Spain from the Moors. In 1535, the city of Lima was founded, and in 1551, the Dominicans Saint Martin de Porres began a university there.

When you look at a prayer card, or the canonization painting of St. Martin, you see him wielding the broom, as we said before. Then you see the dog. But to his right, on the floor, there is a dish, with a cat and a mouse and a dove all eating from it at the same time. The mouse is a very important symbol of the ministry of St. Martin de Porres. It began with a problem.-St. Martin's wardrobe room.

WHAT IS IT ALL ABOUT? WHAT HAPPENED IN LOURDES?

Why did Mary come? What was so important at this time in history, in this country? It’s easy in retrospect to understand the need for divine intervention in 1858.
In 1854, in the midst of this, and in the face of massive opposition, one of Mary’s staunchest supporters, Pope Pius IX proclaimed to the world what had been believed down through the centuries, but had never been made a Dogma of the Church. THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION was declared fact.
Mother Mary found a remote town of no great importance, and within that speck on the earth, she chose a simple child of the poorest family in the region, and led her to a garbage dump. From that vantage point she was to send out a message to the world for all time, loud and clear, confirmation of Pope Pius’ IX dogma, in the statement she made in the 16th Apparition on the Feast of the Annunciation,

Saint John Bosco was gifted with many dreams, visions and prophecies, during his lifetime. Actually, it’s very difﬁcult to distinguish between them. We believe, his dreams were prophetic visions. There is a great deal of accuracy attached to Don Bosco’s visions, both for his time and for the Church of today. Penny and I always open our talks by focusing on one vision of Don Bosco’s in particular. We’ll talk about it later in the chapter. He actually became very famous, while he was still living, for the dreams, visions and prophecies he was given. In 1858, Pope Pius IX1ordered Don Bosco to write down all his dreams “word for word”, for the posterity of the community. Don Bosco experienced his ﬁrst dream at age nine. He wrote it down in his autobiography. It impressed him so much, he never forgot it. Years later, he could recount the dream exactly as it had happened. In his own words,

Saints and Other Powerful Men in the Church Part III

Saint Anthony of Padus uses the History of the Greeks from the Apocryphal Gospel to recount the story of the origin of the Cross of Jesus. In his Opus for the Feast of The Discovery of the Cross St. Anthony tells the story of the tree from which the Cross came. This sermon became so popular that two hundred years later, the story was still being passed on; and subsequently inspired the well-known artist Piero della Francesca in the year 1435 to paint the story in breathtaking scenes.

The future St. Francis de Sales was born in a chateau on the shores of Lake Geneva on August 21, 1567. His family was part of the House of Savoie, a family of Nobles in Europe at the time. He was baptised the next day in the Parish church of Thorens, and given the name Francis Bonaventure.
The Beatification of St. Francis de Sales in 1662 was the first solemn beatification to take place in St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome. In 1665 he was canonized; his feast was fixed for January 29th, the anniversary of the bringing of his body to the Visitation in Annecy, He was declared a Doctor of the Church in 1877 and Pope Pius XI named him the Patron Saint of Journalists.
In his wonderful treatise on the love of God he wrote, “The measure of love is to love without measure.”

Paul and his cohorts were traveling at breakneck speed to get to Damascus. A brilliant flash of light streaked across the sky. Saul was thrown to the ground. He tried to see what had happened, but the strong beam blinded him. He heard a voice; his head turned quickly in the direction of the sound. He could make out a figure, but it was hazy. "Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?" Who could this be, he wondered. "Who are you, sir?" The voice responded, "I am Jesus, the one you are persecuting." Jesus? How could this be Jesus? He was dead! Then Saul could see more clearly through the haze. The figure of a man became visible to him. It was Jesus! Saul could actually make out the figure of Jesus. The voice continued, "Get up and go into the city, where you will be told what to do." The figure of Jesus faded slowly, and then all went black. Saul could see nothing. He got up, groped around, completely blind, though his eyes were wide open.

Later on, when St. Thomas was in Salerno, finishing the third part of his Summa, which deals with the Passion and the Resurrection, he was kneeling before the Altar in ecstasy. He could feel the overpowering presence of the Lord in the room. He looked up at the Crucifix. It began to glow brightly. Jesus came alive and spoke to Thomas. There is a very special conversation St. Thomas Aquinas had with the Lord, which we have used as a motto for our ministry. He was told ìYou have written well of Me, Thomas. What would you desire as a reward?î Thomas broke into tears, as he replied, ìNothing, Lord. Iím doing it all for you.î At this point, St. Thomas Aquinas went into ecstasy, and levitated. His entire body floated into the air and hovered over the chapel. All the brothers in the convent came into the chapel where he was praying, and beheld him suspended in the air.
Toward the end of his life, he ceased working on the Summa Theologiae, one of the most famous treatises on the existence of God ever written. When the brother who was working with him asked why, he replied "The end of my labors has come. All that I have written appears to be as much as straw after the things that have been revealed to me." He had been celebrating the Mass; and went into ecstasy. St. Thomas never divulged what the Lord had revealed to him, but it was enough for this great man to cease working on a treatise he had spent five years developing.

One of the most important events in the last 500 years is known as the Vision of Pope Leo XIII.

There are many accounts that Pope Leo XIII had a vision in which he heard God and Satan conversing. The gist of the conversation was that Satan told God he could destroy the church, at which the Lord told him to go ahead. Satan replied that he needed more time and more power.

The Lord asked how much time and how much power. Satan answered that he needed 100 years and greater power over the people of the earth.

According to one account, God gave Satan the time and the power. This took place on October 13, 1884.

Saint Brother Andre

Miracle Worker of Montreal

Healer, Religious, Doorkeeper, Dreamer of DreamsPupils and parents alike soon discovered in this unaffected, humble doorkeeper, a man of deep faith, someone they could turn to. In a world where no one cared whether most people lived or died, Brother André sat with them, listened to them, held their hands and cried with them. With his openness and friendly, loving disposition, he touched many, and they opened up to him, sharing illnesses of mind, body and spirit. He always consoled them by saying, “I’ll pray for you.” Which he did, and miracles started to happen!
The lame came; they had heard of how the crippled were cured, and they wanted to walk. The sick came; they knew of the infirmed miraculously healed, and they wanted to be cured. The disabled came; they wanted to be whole again, to function as their brothers and sisters. He welcomed them into the small cell he occupied next to the parlor. As he had little use for his cot, because he spent most of the night on his knees praying, Brother André would sometimes have an ill person rest in his room. He spoke to them all; he told them to pray; he then anointed them with some oil from a lamp which burned in front of a statue of St. Joseph.

We could go on and on about the miraculous events credited to Brother André and still not be able to account for all of them.

If you ever visit Montreal you will certainly want to visit the Magnificent Oratory of Saint Joseph on Mont Royal and pray at the tomb of Saint Brother Andre.

Elizabeth Ann Seton really fits the description of a woman for all seasons.
She is truly a role model for women of today. Although she was always a very refined lady, she never shrunk from any kind of work which would help her or her family, whether it be her children or her ladies. She was a personification of motherhood all her life. She was a Protestant who converted after the death of her husband. She was a widow, a single mother, raising five children under the most impossible circumstances in a male-oriented world; she became a nun, and founded a religious community; you name it, Elizabeth Seton did it. Perhaps because she was such a beautiful girl, and was raised in New York society of the period, it seemed to many that she was able to just breeze through life doing wonderful things for the people of God, for the Church and for her family, without raising a bead of perspiration. Her life was anything but that.
Under the direction of Archbishop Carroll and Mother Seton, the Catholic Parochial school system soared and blossomed, bringing quality education to all Catholics in the country.

Is it going to be continued crises during 2020 or Hope?

I am going to choose hope so let me spend a few minutes to lay the foundation for my argument.
There is a battle between the Culture of Death and the Culture of Life.
The Evil in the World seems to be gaining ground but remember that God often works in quiet and silence.

Signs of Hope.

On New Years Eves this year for 2020 65000 young people went to Mercedes Benz stadium in Atlanta Georgia and prayed. Did you hear about that.

This is a renewal among the laity for personal holiness – did you hear about that.

Scientists are debunking the lies of the past and providing scientific evidence that confirms what is in the Book of Genesis - did you hear about that.

There are many signs of hope all around us.

To change the world simply work to be the best person that you can be.

We are created to become Saints, Super Saints.

God created each of us with a unique purpose and path to Eternity with Him in Heaven.

God's will is that we become Saints. Now think about it. If God wills us to become Saints and He tells us that we should ask and we shall receive, then He will answer that prayer request.

Our first suggestion for 2020 is that we ask to become a Saint.Saint Pope John Paul II recommended we study the life of Saint Louis de Montfort and his path to Jesus through Mary..

Abandonment to God's Will

On your Journey to Sainthood perhaps the best tool we can present is Abandonment of Divine Providence.

So many of the Super Saints have used this tool. Saints like Francis of Assisi, Teresa of Avila, John Vianney, Saint Louis Marie de Montfort...

Today we want to consider Saint Therese of Lisieux and how Jesus taught her Abandonment to His Will.
