Writings About Saints
Faithful Protection of St Michael the Archangel
We can say that a feast day like today is one much needed in this contemporary world, a day on which the liturgy expounds Catholic doctrine concerning the angels, an exposition which will be continue and be completed in the near future with the celebration of the feast of the guardian angels.
Blessed Gertrude of Altenburg
God sometimes asks the prophets to do something that looks absurd in the eyes of men to teach a lesson about listening to and discerning God’s will.
St. Matthew
A calling from our Lord was very serious business. So much so that, for James and John, His call left father Zebedee stranded at sea and for today’s saint, with just two words, our Lord left the local customs post with one less employee.
St. Andrew Kim Tai-gon and Companions
God’s providence reaches down and governs the most ordinary details of the life of His people. Cyrus, the pagan king of Persia, became the unlikely instrument whereby God would end the Babylonian Captivity, for instance. Even the civil rulers and all the vicissitudes of history are the tools of God’s almighty hand.
St. Stephen of Hungary
St. Stephen of Hungary was not the first king of that land. He was, however, the one who established it as a Christian nation. Born in 975 and baptized in 985, he inherited the throne of Hungary in 997.

Requiem for Sr Mary Helen Diosana, O.P. (1955-2021)
“…we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen; for the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.”
Requiem for Sr Mary Benedict Montehermoso, O.P. (1954-2021)
Even as we had prayed and hoped that we would not lose another Sister, yet the Lord’s providence has brought us to where we are today. This is truly a mysterious, hidden wisdom. His is a providence that continually amazes and challenges us.
