St Therese Coudurc had a vision in which the word “Goodness” was stamped in gold letters on every creature.

...And then came a mighty Chariot driven by Four White Horses unto the White House, and with a mighty Trumpet blast summoned forth the Lost Soul that dwelt therein, and from West unto East, there arose a cry of rejoicing, as
the World was Cleansed and thought no more of him!
....And then came a Plague, a great and powerful Plague, and the World was never to be the same again! But America rose from this death and destruction, always remembering its many lost souls, and the lost souls all over the World, and became greater than ever before!

Feast of St James, the apostle who urged in his Epistle that Christians must be “doers and not simply hearers of the word.” He was concerned about the intrusion of class differences in the community of faith and the tendency of some Christians to dismiss the value of works.

“Has not God chosen those who are poor in the world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which he has promised to those who love him? But you have dishonored the poor man. Is it not the rich who oppress you, is it not they who drag you into court?”

Thank you for sharing this wonderful story. I remember books I read at 13 that also changed my life.

I asked Sr. Wendy if she had ever been to Lourdes: "I don't want to travel. My love for Bernadette has nothing to do with Lourdes. Although spiritually Lourdes was the greatest event of her life, in spiritual terms a transforming encounter, in worldly terms it was a disaster...

"If only Bernadette could have been alone with Our Lady! But the immense public attention marked her out as different and forces her out of her natural habitat, an uneducated peasant from the very lowest level of society, into the genteel surroundings of a middle-class convent..

Hard to believe to believe that 20 years ago, when this picture appeared, it provoked outrage on FOX News, which claimed that by wearing a tan suit I was showing disrespect for my office at @OrbisBooks. A more innocent age.
