The zeal of Thy house hath eaten me up. My most beloved Lord, how good you are! Blood of Christ shed for me! It is mine, do not deny it to me because it is mine! O priests, strive to offer Mass everyday, inebriate yourselves with this blood. O Paradise, O Paradise, Blessed are those who live in your house, O Lord - Saint Francis Caracciolo

Saint Giles Mary of Saint Joseph is living proof of Saint Mother Teresa’s famous quote: “Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love.”
For Jesus I am prepared to suffer still more said Saint Maximilian Kolbe. The deaths of Berard and his companions sparked a missionary vocation in Anthony of Padua and others. There have been many, many Franciscans who have responded to Francis’ challenge. Proclaiming the gospel can be fatal, but that has not stopped the Franciscan men and women who even today risk their lives in many countries throughout the world. (Franciscan Media)
