Catechism Meditation
Posted on February 19, 2025
The Christian begins his day, his prayers, and his activities with the Sign of the Cross: “in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.” the baptized person dedicates the day to the glory of God and calls on the Savior’s grace which lets him act in the Spirit as a child of the Father. The sign of the cross strengthens us in temptations and difficulties. ―No. 2157
Saint of the Month
Saint Blaise, Bishop and Martyr
Saint Blaise was a 4th-century Christian bishop and martyr. He is known as the patron saint of throat ailments. The feast of this popular medieval saint is celebrated in many ways around the world. Blaise always cared about the physical and spiritual well-being of others. Even as he faced terrible suffering, he offered to God the prayers and concerns of the people who came to him.
