WHAT DOES HAPPINESS REALLY MEAN? Happiness is not a life without problems. It is the peace you find in the middle of them. A famous Turkish poet once asked his painter friend to create a picture of **“happiness.”** The painter painted a poor family sleeping peacefully together on an old, creaking bed. One leg of the bed was broken and supported by two bricks. Their small, worn-out house had a leaking roof. Even their dog was curled up beside them, sleeping peacefully. Yet, there was something beautiful in that scene—they were together, safe, and at peace. The painting became unforgettable because it captured a truth we often forget: **Happiness is not having everything perfect. Happiness is appreciating what you have, accepting what you cannot change, and finding peace despite life's difficulties.** Not every problem needs to be solved today. Not every situation is within your control. And not every difficult chapter will last forever. So, when life feels heavy, pause and look at what …More

"Answer to the first question. The Judge answered: ”Friend, your questioning does not come from love; however I answer you for the love of others. You ask why animals suffer infirmities. This is because there exists a disorder in them as in the rest of creation. I am the maker of every nature and have given to each its own temperament and order in which each one moves and lives. However, after man, for whose sake all things were made, set himself against his lover, that is, against me his God, then disorder entered all the rest of creation, and all the things that should have been afraid of man began to set themselves against him and oppose him."

St. Joseph, having received payment for some of his work, purchased, according to the wishes of his spouse, two pieces of cloth, one white, i and the other nearer violet than gray—the best that could be found. Our lovely Lady made of them swaddling clothes for her most holy child. She made little shirts of the linen that she had spun during the early period of her marriage, with the intention of offering it at, the temple. Happily her intention was changed; nevertheless she made an offering of what was left. The blessed Virgin had woven this linen on her knees, with tears of an inexpressible devotion. St. Joseph also …More
"If the smallest portion of grace that a creature, whoever he may be, receives, by means of a virtue that he has practised, is worth more than all the universe, who can estimate its greatness in her who surpassed the merits of the highest Seraphim? Our holy Lady saw the humanity united to the Divinity in the person of the Word, saw all the interior acts of the most holy soul of her divine Son, and the prayers that He offered for her, for St. Joseph, for all the human race, and especially for the predestinate."

He that dwelleth in the aid of the most High, shall abide under the protection of the God of Jacob. 2 He shall say to the Lord: Thou art my protector, and my refuge: my God, in him will I trust. 3 For he hath delivered me from the snare of the hunters: and from the sharp word. 4 He will overshadow thee with his shoulders: and under his wings thou shalt trust. 5 His truth shall compass thee with a shield: thou shalt not be afraid of the terror of the night. 6 Of the arrow that flieth in the day, of the business that walketh about in the dark: of invasion, or of the noonday devil. 7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand: but it shall not come nigh thee. 8 But thou shalt consider with thy eyes: and shalt see the reward of the wicked. 9 Because thou, O Lord, art my hope: thou …More

Joan of Arc Arrives on Horseback Before Pope Leo — France’s Saints Come Alive at Youth Vigil| SGNews One of the most visually striking moments of Pope Leo XIV’s youth vigil at the Stade de France came when St. Joan of Arc appeared on horseback, alongside St. Louis IX and figures representing France’s extraordinary Christian heritage. Before around 80,000 young Catholics, history seemed to come alive. The dramatic performance recalled the saints, missionaries and witnesses whose lives helped shape the Catholic identity of France across the centuries. Joan of Arc’s appearance was especially powerful. The young French saint is traditionally remembered on horseback, carrying the courage of a warrior while remaining deeply convinced that her mission belonged first to God. And Pope Leo himself spoke about her during his message to the young people. Reflecting on the Christian call to “fight the good fight of faith,” the Pope said that this language resonates strongly in France: The land of St …More
