Saint of the Day

St. Peter Armengol (1238-1304)
A thief and brigand, Peter had a conversion when his band tried to hijack his father's entourage. He offered himself as ransom for 18 captured Christian children and endured so much torture on their behalf that he is considered a martyr.

Reflections from the Saints

Nothing seems tiresome or painful when you are working for a Master who pays well; who rewards even a cup of cold water given for love of Him.

Life in Christ: Catechism #2229

As those first responsible for the education of their children, parents have the right to choose a school for them which corresponds to their own convictions. This right is fundamental. As far as possible parents have the duty of choosing schools that will best help them in their task as Christian educators. Public authorities have the duty of guaranteeing this parental right and of ensuring the concrete conditions for its exercise.
