Saint John Bosco became the bearer of God's love to these young boys. With John's gift of friendship, joy, love of life...he dedicated his life to service and reached out to these children to provide for them both their material and spiritual needs. May we continue to walk with others in the spirit of St. John Bosco and fulfill every human longing for love, joy and meaning.

In her solitude, Barbara encountered God. Her mind, heart and soul were opened by the grace of God to feel His presence and because of this she was convinced of the existence of God and was able to endure the terrible torture.

Saul shifted directions when his sight returned after a few days. Who wouldn't? He began to preach the life and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth. The change in him was so radical he preached the gospel even inside synagogues! Clearly, these were Jewish holy territories, definitely off-limits to evangelizing Christians. Paul's gumption incurred the hatred of his fellow Jews who drove him out of the city. Isn't it ironic that it was this Jew who had brutally killed early Christians thereby quashing newly-formed groups of budding Christians?

I found a little booklet by them in the Adoration Chapel at Holy Redeemer yesterday. The booklet had some special prayers I'd never seen before, including, The Litany of the Lost. It's really beautiful. It covers many things that resonated strongly and deeply for me.

Beautiful Website, with an associated blog. The shrine and chapel are in Ellicott City, Maryland. Doesn't Mom have some kind of association with Ellicott City?
