There are times when looking back helps to fuel our future. Looking back at the life of evangelist Maria Woodworth-Etter, you will be emboldened by the truth that nothing is impossible to the believer who surrenders to God. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Maria Woodworth-Etter, the grandmother of the Pentecostal movement, astounded many Americans as she traveled across the country holding revivals. At these meetings, the worst sinners in the town were saved, the most diseased were healed, and her biggest critics were proven wrong.

Through vivid storytelling, this historical account reveals the disturbing influences and grim motives that possessed Alessandro Serenelli, St. Maria Goretti’s murderer. Yet it is much more than a chilling tale; this true narrative is a testament of transformation and redemption — God’s mercy shining forth through the most seemingly hopeless of situations. Just as great literature and spiritual writing have the power to transform the soul and spur it on to heroic deeds, the force of immoral prose can corrupt and even drive the soul to unspeakable deeds.

This work was temporarily condemned during the Spanish Inquisition.

Margherita Maria Alacoque (1647-1690) è stata una monaca e mistica francese canonizzata nel 1920. La notorietà di Margherita Maria Alacoque è dovuta al fatto che le rivelazioni che ella racconta di aver ricevuto porteranno allo sviluppo del culto e all'istituzione della solennità liturgica del Sacro Cuore di Gesù. All'apertura della sua tomba, nel luglio 1830, il suo corpo fu trovato incorrotto, e tale è rimasto sotto l'altare della cappella della Visitazione di Paray-le-Monial.

Stanley arrived in Guatemala in 1968, and immediately identified with his parishioners' simple, farming lifestyle. He learned their languages, prepared them for the Sacraments, and cared for their needs. Fr. Stanley had found his heart's calling.

But he could not abandon his people, so he went back, and made the ultimate sacrifice for his faith.

Just as Blessed Anna Maria Taigi was being born in Italy, another child was coming into the world, Napoleon Bonaparte.
