“Holiness is not the luxury of the few, but a simple duty for you and me.” — St. Mother Teresa of Calcutta
In today’s culture humility is often mistaken for weakness or lack of dignity. In the Church’s tradition, however, it is the foundation of holiness—a clear-eyed grasp of the truth about God, ourselves, and our neighbour. St. Teresa of Calcutta left us a List of Humility—fifteen simple yet demanding practices for daily sanctification. They are not abstract slogans but a practical examination of conscience and a plan for shaping the heart—in the family, at work, and in parish life.
From career challenges to family crises, from thanksgiving to spiritual renewal—there truly is a novena for that. Discover the meaning, roots, and practice of this powerful prayer that draws us to the Heart of Jesus.
Long day, heavy eyelids… and sleep won’t come. You’re not alone. The Church gives us four trusted friends for the night: St. Joseph, St. Blaise, St. Dymphna, and St. Michael the Archangel.
And How Can You Take Part?
On a hot July morning in 1981, the quiet town of Santiago Atitlán in Guatemala awoke to tragedy. Their beloved “Padre Apla’s”—Father Stanley Rother—had been murdered in his rectory, a victim of violence that had become all too common during the country’s brutal civil war. Yet, for the people gathered around the church that day, Stanley’s death was not just another casualty; it was the crowning act of a life poured out in love.
