Saint Victor Maurus A.D. 303?
St. Victor Maurus was born in third century Mauretania and is believed to have been a soldier in the Praetorian Guard. Victor was a Christian from his youth and lived most of his life in quiet praise of God. Around the year 303, Victor, who was advanced in age, was arrested for being a Christian and handed over to the torturer. Victor received many hideous, painful tortures, including having hot lead poured on him, but did not renounce the Faith. Victor’s Faith proved unshakable and was ordered to be beheaded. After his death, Victor’s body was taken away by the faithful and buried outside of the city of Milan. Many miracles were reported to happen at his grave and a church was later built up around it. St. Gregory of Tours wrote about the many miracles that occurred at the shrine of St. Victor. In the year 1576, the relics of Victor were translated to a new church inside the city of Milan which is dedicated to him.

Quote for the Day:
Sometimes people ask me this question: "If God does not wish
us toask for material things, but for Himself, the Giver of all
good, why does the Bible never say: Do not pray for this or that,
pray simply for the Holy Spirit? Why has this never been been clearly
expressed? 'I reply, Because He knew that people would never
begin to pray if they could not ask for earthly things like riches
and health and honours; He says to Himself: If they ask for such
things the desire for something better will awaken in them, and
finally they will only care about the higher things.

Quote from the book, "101 Inspirational Stories of the Power of Prayer"

I took a little footage of Pi (my parrot) this morning and was going to share that with you.... but when I tried to upload it to the computer said it wasn't in the right format. Don't know what that is about. Always something.

It's definitely Spring and Pi is on the move. Every time I looked around she was out of her "enclosure" and chewing on my shoestrings. Very cute, but I'm always afraid I'm going to step on her or something... so then I bring her up to the desk and she decides I need a few papers shredded and gets busy. The problem is she doesn't care what the paper is, important, unimportant... all the same to Pi... lets get nibbling!

Slowly, bit by bit I am trying to reply to all the wonderful folks who replied to the Publicity Squad - if you haven't heard from me yet... stay tuned.. may take a week yet but we will get there!

Also, THANK YOU to those who sent a few words of endorsement for the books. I will get to you too! Hopefully this side of the moon phase.... but who knows... life keeps getting in the way of plans.

Blessings Of Peace And All Good,
Sister Patricia

P.S. Today I did my program for, "Faith, Hope and Action" on the fly. It was an hour to the time the program was to air and I hadn't done it or even rounded up a person to interview...SO... Sr. Colleen got roped in for the job. It was fun... off the cuff but fun. I will share it with you tomorrow for anyone who wants to listen a bit to what Poor Clare life is like - from another opinion besides myself!
