Catechism Meditation
Posted on March 21, 2025
Faith is an entirely free gift that God makes to man. We can lose this priceless gift, as St. Paul indicated to St. Timothy: “Wage the good warfare, holding faith and a good conscience. By rejecting conscience, certain persons have made shipwreck of their faith.” To live, grow and persevere in the faith until the end we must nourish it with the word of God; we must beg the Lord to increase our faith; it must be “working through charity,” abounding in hope, and rooted in the faith of the Church. ―No. 162
Saint of the Month
Saint Katherine Drexel, Virgin (U.S.A.) 1858-1955
Saint Katharine Drexel is the second American-born saint to be canonized by the Catholic Church. Born into extreme wealth, Katharine Drexel grew up a child of privilege and no one could have guessed she would one day be a nun much less a saint.
