In honor of the Marian feasts this month, we asked author Maureen Mullins to share a little about about the writing of her book: Litany of Loreto.    

The Stations of the Cross is a Christian devotion that commemorates the events of Good Friday, from Jesus being condemned to death to the moment He is laid in the tomb. A prayerful meditation of these 14 stations is traditionally practiced in the Lenten season, as well as Fridays during the rest of the year. 

As we celebrated the 2nd World Day of Grandparents and Elders on Sunday, July 24th, we thought we'd take advantage and share a portion of Chapter Seven on Family from Stephen Gabriel's newest book: Hope for Your Grandchildren.

As we prepare to celebrate the feast of St. Josemaria on June 26th, we're sharing some of our favorite St. Josemaria Escriva quotes about holiness in ordinary life - taken from his writings. 

This excerpt is pulled from St. Josemaria's book of homilies, On the Feast of Corpus Christi. This is the first couple points, but you can find the full homily in the book Christ is Passing By. 

For this blog post, sandwiched between the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity and the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ, we're sharing an excerpt from St. Josemaria's homily, The Eucharist: mystery of faith and love, which can be found in Christ is Passing By.  

In preparation for the feast of St. Josemaria Escriva on June 26th, we're sharing a variety of resources to help you get to know this modern saint who believed that everyone - no matter their profession or state in life - could be a saint!
