Isaac Jogues
- 1607-1646 -
"His eight years in America included six years during
which he lived with, and converted many Hurons. Certainly
none of these or their ancestors would say it had been for
naught. As for Pere Jogues himself, his desire was to be a
martyr for Indian souls. Knowing this, his confreres, upon
hearing of his death, celebrated a Mass of thanksgiving
instead of the usual Requiem."
The Escape of St. Jogues - by Francis Talbot - "Father Isaac Jogues (1607-1646) was captured by the Mohawks on August 3, 1642 and taken to the Indian village of Ossernenon (now Auriesville, N.Y.). Here he remained in slavery, constantly threatened with death and suffering from innumerable tortures, for thirteen months, until the Dutch at Fort Orange (Albany) were able to effect his escape. After a short stay in Europe, he resumed his missionary activities, and was martyred by the Mohawks at the place of his captivity in 1646. Along with other Jesuit martyrs, Father Jogues was canonized in 1930."

"[H]e asked me for my heart which I prayed him to take; which he did, and placed it in his own adorable heart wherein he showed it to me like a tiny atom being consumed in that blazing furnace; and he drew it forth again like a burning flame in the form of a heart, and set it once more in the place whence he had taken it . . ."

Rose-Virginie Pelletier
- founded
her faith on Jesus Christ as on a rock - Pope John Paul
II July 9, 1996, To Reverend Mother Liliane Tauvette Superior
General of the Congregation of Our Lady of Charity of the
Good Shepherd. "The Lord makes use of a fraternal
community, enlivened by great goodness and great charity, to
set right what has been damaged, to treat the injured and to
show that even the lost sheep has a share in the banquet when
the person is disposed to respond to love. Every person is
called to holiness by way of conversion and spiritual
progress. We have a remarkable example of it in the Gospel.
Mary Magdalen, the sinner who showed such love for Jesus, was
also the first to meet Christ on Easter morning and was to
announce his Resurrection to the Apostles."

* Padre Pio Foundation of
America
- Padre Pio, a humble Capuchin priest from San
Giovanni Rotondo, Italy, was blessed by God in many wonderful
and mysterious ways. The most dramatic was the stigmata.
Padre Pio bore the wounds of Christ for fifty years! Among
his other gifts were perfume, bilocation, prophecy,
conversion, reading of souls, and miraculous cures. People
are still being cured through his intercession in ways that
cannot be explained by medicine or science. More important,
if less spectacular, are the spiritual healings that take
place in all parts of the world! Padre Pio is a powerful
intercessor!!
"The most beautiful credo is that which comes from your lips in darkness, in sacrifice, in pain, in supreme effort of an unbending will for good. It is this which like a stroke of lightning, penetrates the darkness of the soul; it is this which in a flash of the tempest lifts you and leads you to God." (The Voice of Padre Pio)

The Seventh Mansion (Excerpt)
-
by St. Teresa of Avila. "A king is living in His palace:
many wars are waged in his kingdom and many other distressing
things happen there, but he remains where he is despite them
all. So it is here: although in the other Mansions there are
many disturbances and poisonous creatures, and the noise of
all this can be heard, nobody enters this Mansion and forces
the soul to leave it; and, although the things which the soul
hears cause it some distress, they are not of a kind to
disturb it or to take away its peace, for the passions are
already vanquished, and thus are afraid to enter there
because to do so would only exhaust them further."
