Turn to any page of St. Faustina’s Diary, and you’ll find spiritual gems, like this one: Thursday. Although I was very tired today, I nevertheless resolved to make a Holy Hour. I could not pray, nor could I remain kneeling, but I remained in prayer for a whole hour and united myself in spirit with those souls who are already worshiping God in the perfect way. [Then Jesus said to me,] Your prayer is extremely pleasing to Me (Diary, 691).

The Basilica of Our Lady of Victory has quite the historical and spiritual connection to the revelation of the Miraculous Medal given to St. Catherine Laboure. Father Joe Roesch, MIC, shares with us this special connection just outside the Basilica of  Our Lady of Victory in Paris.

The Fatima children asked Our Lady about Heavenly matters. Father Joe takes it a step forward and discusses how and why we should remember the dead.
