An interesting piece on the history of the first Christian nation by @k_yoder, former Save Armenia delegate. 👏🇦🇲

[Katie Yoder @k_yoder]

Did YOU know?

300 years after Christ, the first nation in the world adopted Christianity as its religion.

This country's conversion happened because of one man in particular: St. Gregory the Illuminator.

@Samantha_Kamman, a previous Save Armenia delegate, has written a powerful piece on a meeting we had with a former Armenian captive held in Baku. Please take the time to read. 🙏

Watch this, please. What a remarkable, courageous, and kind person. His admiration for the unarmed teacher who took on the shooter shines through. Please pray for him. He's carrying a lot -- there is such a cost to taking a life, even when it's necessary.

When I met 3-year-old Sophie during my recent trip to Armenia, I felt called to share her story.

Her life is a miracle — in more ways than one.

Thanks to @OSVNews for allowing me to write about her in my new monthly pro-life column ⬇️

“Let nothing disturb you, let nothing frighten you. All things are passing away: God never changes. Patience obtains all things. Whoever has God lacks nothing; God alone suffices.”- St. Teresa of Avila

[The Catholic Gaijin @timothyjphelan]

This young Catholic couple, 27 and 28 in this photograph, are now both officially being considered for sainthood. The Church calls them Servants of God.

Takashi and Midori Nagai are being recognized for the Christian witness of their marriage, family life, suffering, faith, and service, especially in wartime and atomic-bombed Nagasaki.

But one detail in their chronology surprised me.

Their first son appears to have been conceived before their Catholic wedding. I’ve found no indication that little Makoto (it means Truth in Japanese) was premature.

Whatever the explanation, the chronology caught my attention because we can easily turn candidates for sainthood into spotless figures.

Holiness is about what repentance, forgiveness, and grace can make of an entire human life.

Servants of God Takashi and Midori Nagai, pray for us.

“The room of prayer is within you, the room where you hide your thoughts, where you keep your affections. This room is always with you, wherever you are, and it is always a secret room, where only God can see you.” -St. Ambrose

Brothers and sisters:

Have no anxiety at all, but in everything,
by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving,
make your requests known to God.

Then the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4:6

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

There exists a martyrdom of those who offer their lives in a single moment, and the more hidden martyrdom of those who give their lives day after day. This is exactly what all Christians are called to do: to give our lives with love, every day.

Angel of God, my guardian dear,
to whom God’s love commits me here,
ever this day be at my side,
to light and guard, to rule and guide.
Amen. 💛

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

[Fr. Aquinas Guilbeau, OP @FrAquinasOP]

“I saw and realized that love sets off the bounds of all vocations, that love is everything, that this same love embraces every time and every place. In one word, that love is everlasting.” -St. Therese of Lisieux

Happy feast day of St. Thérèse, dear friends! 🌹

She's often pictured handing us a rose — but, sometimes, I think of her even more when I spy a little wildflower.

"I understood that if all flowers wanted to be roses, nature would lose her springtime beauty."
