Background of St Faustina St Faustina was born on August 25, 1905, in Glogowiec, Poland of a poor and religious family of peasants, the third of 10 children. She was baptized with the name Helena in the parish church of Swinice Warckie.

So, just like me, you must be wondering," Who is this Carlo Acutis?" Well, ill be honest with you. After knowing about him, he is truly an inspiration to me. Blessed Carlo Acutis- the soon-to-be millennial saint. And what is even more amazing about his person? He is so young and yet has such amazing longing for Jesus in the Eucharist. I personally believe that people should be inspired to believe the truth about Jesus' presence in the Eucharist. And thanks be to God! He gave us someone wearing a pair of jeans and a track jacket, who dedicated his...

History of St Francis of Assisi St Francis of Assisi is the founder of the Franciscan Order, born at Assisi in Umbria, in 1181. In 1182, Pietro Bernardone returned from a trip to France to find out his wife had given birth to a son. Far from being excited or apologetic because he'd been gone, Pietro was furious because she'd had his new son baptized Giovanni after John the Baptist. The last thing Pietro wanted in his son was a man of God -- he wanted a man of business, a cloth merchant like he was, and he especially wanted a son who would...

Biblical Reference of Saint Peter Originally called Simon, a very common Jewish name in the New Testament. He was the son of Jona. His mother is nowhere named in Scripture.

Here he was brought up by the shores of the Sea of Galilee and was trained to the occupation of a fisher. His father had probably died while he was still young, and he and his brother were...

Biblical Reference of John the Baptist The Gospel of Mark introduces John as a fulfillment of a prophecy from the Book of Isaiah (in fact, a conflation of texts from Isaiah, Malachi and Exodus ) about a messenger being sent ahead, and a voice crying out in the wilderness. John is described as wearing clothes of camel's hair, living on locusts and wild honey . John proclaims baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sin, and says another will come after him who will not baptize with water, but with the Holy Spirit. The Gospel of Matthew account begins with the same modified quotation from Isaiah, moving the Malachi and...

Biblical reference of Angel Gabriel Each time Angel Gabriel appears in the Bible, it is in the role of a messenger. However, we should not be under the impression that St Gabriel is just a communicator or a postman. When Gabriel appeared to Daniel, Zechariah, and Mary, all three were stricken with awe. Daniel says, “As he came near the place where I was standing, I was terrified and fell prostrate” (Daniel 8:17). Zechariah “was startled and was gripped with fear” (Luke 1:12). And Mary “was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be”...
