This story begins with a people, a loyal people who gave up all for Mother Church. Originally from France, the eldest daughter of the Church, till today they hold on to that heritage which made them great.

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,...

We follow Mother Mary on a journey again to a far-off place, high up in the mountains, where no one would consider going.

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...

The Shrine of Our Lady of Allotting became very popular towards the end of the Fifteenth century, actually 1489, as a result of a major miracle.

The first the biographers hear of him is when he moved with his brother and a tutor to Vienna, to be close to his studies at the Jesuit College. Here they were, Jekyl and Hyde, from the same family. It had to be a contradiction for...

And so we go to John 6:51, to where Jesus gave them what we call the Eucharistic Doctrine. “I Myself, am the living bread, come down from Heaven. If anyone eats of this Bread, he will live forever. And the bread that I will give is My flesh, for the life of the world.” The Jews then disputed among...

One of the most powerful Sacramentals is the Brown Scapular. On July 16, 1251, Our Lady appeared to St. Simon Stock, accompanied by her Heavenly Army of Angels and made the following promise:"Whoever dies wearing this Scapular shall not suffer eternal fire."Now, it was not our Lady's intention that...

Saint Padre Pio had an overwhelming devotion to the Child Jesus. Throughout his life, we see photos of the Saintly Franciscan and images of the Child Jesus.

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.
