Meet our Foundress, Venerable Mother Luisita

Meet our Foundress, Venerable Mother Luisita

Sometimes the brokenness is outside of us. Perhaps it is brokenness in a marriage as in the case of Rita of Cascia, who became a saint; or the brokenness in a government, as in the life of our own Foundress, Mother Luisita, who is now a Venerable of our Church, soon to be a Saint.

The Many Voices

The Many Voices

Even when there isn’t any perceptible sound around you, you can hear it. Sometimes it’s clear, sometimes it’s not. It can sound like background chatter in a dull and steady sort of way, or it can stream out in strong spurts and the cacophony of sound can overpower you. Sometimes it is very quiet. You can sense it more than you can actually hear it.
