Saint of the Day

St. John Boste (16th century)
After studying at Oxford, John travelled to France to became a priest. He then returned to northern England where he became the object of a massive manhunt. Betrayed, arrested, and taken to London, he was crippled on the rack and was later hanged, drawn, and quartered.

Reflections from the Saints

The faith of those who live their faith is a serene faith. What you long for will be given you; what you love will be yours for ever.

Life in Christ: Catechism #2347

The virtue of chastity blossoms in friendship. It shows the disciple how to follow and imitate him who has chosen us as his friends, who has given himself totally to us and allows us to participate in his divine estate. Chastity is a promise of immortality. Chastity is expressed notably in friendship with one's neighbor. Whether it develops between persons of the same or opposite sex, friendship represents a great good for all. It leads to spiritual communion.
