Saint of the Day

St. Patrick (390-464)
Patrick was kidnapped from Scotland as a teen and taken to Ireland as a slave. He eventually escaped to the continent, where he studied for the priesthood. After becoming a bishop, Pope Saint Celestine sent him back to Ireland, where he effectively converted the entire country in 33 years.

Reflections from the Saints

If I am worthy, I am ready to give up my life, without hesitation and most willingly, for Christ's name.

Life in Christ: Catechism #2176

The celebration of Sunday observes the moral commandment inscribed by nature in the human heart to render to God an outward, visible, public, and regular worship "as a sign of his universal beneficence to all." Sunday worship fulfills the moral command of the Old Covenant, taking up its rhythm and spirit in the weekly celebration of the Creator and Redeemer of his people.
