Saint Catherine Labouré: The Secret of Everyday Holiness

By Sister Marie-Claire Camara, D.C. Dear friends, Today I would like to invite you to walk in the footsteps of one of the most extraordinary—and yet one of the most humble—Sisters of our Company: Saint Catherine Labouré. We often know her simply as the messenger of the Miraculous Medal. Yet, as I immersed myself in her story, I wanted to share with you another aspect of who she was. To look closely at her life is to discover how God opens a path to holiness in the most ordinary circumstances of our daily lives. God simply asks us to live in the practice of holy love, and our Sister Catherine is a perfect illustration of this.

Saint Francis Regis Clet: The Everyday Martyr Who Gave His Life for China

Dear friends and members of the Vincentian Family, Today I would like to invite you to contemplate a life that can only be fully understood in the light of the Gospel. Throughout the history of our spirituality, there are radiant figures in whom faith ceases to be an abstract idea and becomes a concrete way of living and self-giving. One of these is Saint Francis Regis Clet, a priest of the Congregation of the Mission, a tireless evangelizer in China, and a martyr of charity.
