"The Dumb Ox" was a perfect nickname for young Thomas Aquinas-although it was none too kind. Thomas was big, slow to speak-a quiet and solemn youth. Even Father Albert was inclined to think him rather dull. No one knew about Thomas' amazing memory, or that he knew most of the Bible by heart, or that no subject was difficult for him. One day Thomas decided to amuse himself by writing a paper on …

He agreed to go, but …
"So you've decided to give in to the Devil" said the priest. John started back in dismay. "Oh no, Father!" "But you just told me you were giving up your studies for the priesthood," responded Father Bailey. What was poor John Vianney to do? Having begun his schooling much older than the other boys, he had found it impossible to keep up with them, and a couple of days ago he had been sent home …
Rick Medina Everyone needs a friend. An Advocate. A mentor. According to Rick Medina, he was not seeking a spiritual patron. It was St. Philomena's persistence - her playful charm and support - that brilliantly won him over. Here's the fascinating story of how an early Roman martyr befriended a twenty-first-century American, and how their relationship led him to a deeper …

"This is no time for jokes!" answered the woman scornfully. "Quick! Where is there another doctor's shop?" "There isn't time," said Martin …

"It's almost upon us!" yelled a frantic voice aboard the Saint Joseph, as the iceberg neared the ship. The huge mountain of gray-green ice looked like a floating castle-which would shatter the poor little wooden ship in a moment or two.
