My favorite YouTube video dedicated to St. Michael the Archangel. Happy Feast of St. Michael!

Today is the feast of one of my patron Saints – Saint Michael the Archangel. I have to believe that a guardian angel, if not Saint Michael himself, protected me from something horrible when I was about 8 years old. When I was about 8-9, I used to live in a building located about two [...]

My mom was divorced when I was about 9, and I saw my father once a year after that, so I never had a true father figure. That means I never knew someone who exemplified fatherhood. I wish I had known St Joseph. Saint Joseph is the hope for all these fatherless boys that exist [...]

Long Form “O Glorious Prince of the heavenly host, St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in the battle and in the terrible warfare that we are waging against the principalities and powers, against the rulers of this world of darkness, against the evil spirits. Come to the aid of man, whom Almighty God created immortal, [...]

I want to wish you all a Happy Valentine’s day. We live in the world, but we are not of the world. Nevertheless, some chocolate wouldn’t hurt. Be nice to your spouses, love interests and parents and children. But even as we celebrate our secular holiday, let’s not forget there actually was a Saint Valentine. [...]

Prayer to St. Raphael for Healing Glorious Archangel St. Raphael, great prince of the heavenly court, you are illustrious for your gifts of wisdom and grace.

I happened to be watching EWTN today and I stumbled upon Saints Alive, a show where different Saints from different historical periods are interviewed. Jean Vianney [...]

Today is the feast of St. John Bosco, the founder of the Salasian order. As a new Catholic, I heard of him, but never read about him in any detail. This past Saturday, EWTN aired “Don Bosco” Part I, which they are airing again this Wednesday. See EWTN  for show times. So I learned a [...]

Francis de Sales – what an awesome Saint. Francis de Sales is mostly known for his devotional book Introduction to a Devout Life.  That book should be in every Catholic’s library. Well as much as that book has blessed countless Christians, do you know that some of the men of his day dismissed the book [...]

St Clement of Rome achieved glorious martyrdom around 100 AD. On this his feast day, I thought it would be nice to include the seventh chapter of St Clement’s first letter to the Corinthians: CHAPTER 7 7:1 These things we enjoin you, beloved, not only by way of admonition to you, but as putting ourselves [...]
