    There was once a pious woman who had been generous to the Holy Souls in purgatory. When she was dying, she was burdened by a deathbed depression where she thought that there was no hope for her soul. Simultaneously there was a concentrated effort by the powers of Hell to drive the her to lose faith and to think that Our Lord would never have mercy on her. This was done in a bid to reduce her to the mortal sin of despair, so the demons could claim her soul. Suddenly, the pious woman saw the souls of thousands of supporters who assured her that she could attain the Heavenly Prize. She asked them who they were. "We are the souls which you have delivered from Purgatory, we, in our turn come to help you, and very soon we shall conduct you to Paradise." The pious woman's heart was gladdened, and soon afterwards she died in enviable happiness. I would like to help you to also have compassion for the Poor Souls in Purgatory by telling you two of my favorite documented stories about them. The first is about a pious servant woman and the second is about a Polish prince who was an avowed atheist.

  • Our Lady Saved France from a Demonic Wolf

    Our Lady Saved France from a Demonic Wolf

    In the heart of 18th century France, a terrifying creature known as the Beast of Gevaudan emerged from the shadows, leaving a trail of terror and bloodshed in its wake. This enigmatic beast, an enormous wolf-like creature with a taste for human flesh, struck fear into the hearts of the people of the Gévaudan region. This was at a time when demonic activity was reaching a fever pitch in France culminating in the satanic beheadings of the French Revolution. Witches and hexes were becoming rampant. It seemed as if the wolf had a devil-like quality, for it seemed to focus on human game rather than the livestock close by. This wolf was only defeated through one man’s devotion and trust in the Mother of God, which shows us that we have to confide in Our Lady against all odds. You can find this account in the book, “Beast” by Gustavo Sanchez Romero and S.R. Schwalb.

  • Why the Devil Persecuted St. John Vianney

    Why the Devil Persecuted St. John Vianney

    Soon after the Cure d'Ars had opened his house of refuge for the poor orphans of the district, the strangest noises began to disturb his rest at night, and to trouble the quiet of his presbytery.
    Always at midnight, three violent knocks against the door of the presbytery generally warned the Cure d'Ars of the presence of his enemy; these knocks were followed by others more or less heavy, according as his sleep was more or less profound. After having diverted himself by making a frightful uproar on the staircase, the demon entered the room, seized the curtains of the bed, shook them so furiously that the poor inmate never could understand why they were not torn to atoms. Sometimes the malignant spirit knocked like some one who was demanding admittance, and the next moment, without the door being opened, he was in the room, moving about the chairs, deranging the furniture, rummaging everywhere, calling the Cure with a mocking voice, 'Vianney, Vianney!' and adding to his name the most outrageous qualifications and menaces. 'Eater of truffles, we shall have you, we shall have you! We hold you, we hold you!'

    Beware of Catholic Influencers: The Story of Pelagius

    There were plenty of celebrity Catholics in the past whom everyone regarded as saints, but then were discovered to be just the opposite. Which brings me to the story of Pelagius, which I found in "The Catechist,” a compilation of true stories from Catholic literature, by Canon G.E. Howe.

  • Death by Tomahawk: The Martyrdom of St. René Goupil

    I decided to join St. Louis de Montfort Academy for their 20-mile pilgrimage to the North American Martyrs Shrine.

    The word “martyr” comes from a Greek word meaning “witness.” By definition, a martyr is somebody who suffers death for the Catholic Faith as a witness to Christ.

    A group of saints that fit this category so well is the North American martyrs, who gave witness to the Faith by the shedding of their blood for the conversion of the Native Americans.

    Eight French Jesuits traveled to the New World -- what is now Canada and New York -- to convert the natives. After enduring years of suffering and hardship, they paid the ultimate price by willingly shedding their blood for Christ.

    There were six priests: Frs. Isaac Jogues, Jean de Brebeuf, Noel Chabanel, Charles Garnier, Gabriel Lalemant, and Antoine Daniel, along with two lay helpers: Rene Goupil and Jean de Lalande.

    It was an honor to rejoin my alma mater for this pilgrimage. It was an extremely blessed day.

    Our story begins in the Spring of 1917. Half a mile to the south of Fatima, along a road so narrow that a team of oxen can scarcely pass, lies the village of Aljustrel where three young shepherds lived: Lucia dos Santos, and her cousins Francisco and Jacinta Marto. They were 10, 9, and 7 years old respectively at the time of the apparitions.

    And before you bring it up... yes. There's a possibility that it could just be a legend. There's not an abundance of historical evidence, but you know what... I don't care. It's a darn good story. If people can be inspired by fiction, then why can't I admire this incredible account be it legend or not.
