skip to main skip to sidebar Sunday, March 05, 2006 Saint Paul the Apostle We just read a book called Saint Paul the Apostle by Mary Fabyan Windeatt. He made a lot of friends, enemies, and converts in Greece, Turkey, and Italy. Recently we watched a movie called Visions of Greece . It shows some of the places he went to, like: Kavala (Neapolis), Philippi, Thessaloniki, Athens, Corinth and Crete. When Saint Paul was traveling, he sometimes wrote letters to cities he had been to because they were having problems. The letters helped teach them the truth and encouraged them. You can read these letters today in the New Testament and hear them at Mass on Sundays. They are named for the people who they were written to, for example, The First Letter from St. Paul to the Corinthians was written to the people of Corinth. Here are some more examples: From Greece: The Second Letter to the Corinthians - Corinth (still a major city in Greece) The Letter to the Philippians - Philippi (just ruins today) Letters to the Thessalonians - Thessalonica (now called Thessaloniki, and still a major city) Other Countries: Letter to the Romans (in Italy of course!)

She led the soldiers to fight the English and got them out of France. She was brave and always tried to do what God wanted. The enemy captured her and they killed her. Saint Bernadette was a girl who lived in the 1800s in Lourdes , France. She saw Mary in a grotto, but a lot of people didn't believe her. One of the times at the grotto, a lot of people came with her. Mary talked to her and told her to wash in the spring. The problem was there wasn't a spring nearby. Bernadette asked Mary what she meant. Mary told her to dig in the dirt and the people thought Bernadette was weird because they saw her digging in the dirt, but they couldn't see Mary. Water started coming from the ground where Bernadette was digging. That was amazing. Sick people started to wash in it and some of them got better! Today there's a church there and the spring is there too. Sick people still go there and some of them get better. Saint Therese of Lisieux Saint John Vianney became a priest after the French Revolution. He became the parish priest at Ars and started a school there. The devil got really angry because he was converting people. He made a lot of noise at night and tried to scare him, but every night that the devil would bother him, the next day a great conversion would take place. He was a very holy priest.
