Saint of the Day

King St. Oswald of Northumbria (605-642)
While exiled, Oswald converted. He reconquered his country from the Britons, erecting on the battlefield a wooden cross that proved to be miraculous. He built up a great kingdom, and with the aid of St. Aidan introduced Christianity, founding many churches and monasteries. He died in battle against a pagan king.

Reflections from the Saints

We should consider those moments spent before the Blessed Sacrament as the happiest of our lives.

Life in Christ: Catechism #2359

Homosexual persons are called to chastity. By the virtues of self-mastery that teach them inner freedom, at times by the support of disinterested friendship, by prayer and sacramental grace, they can and should gradually and resolutely approach Christian perfection.
