On 15th March 2015 Akash Bashir laid down his life to protect and save the lives of 1,000 Christians. It wasn't a spur of the moment act, it was the fruit and expression of a life full of faith.

Br Thomas Thérèse OP reflects on the Stigmata and those who bear the wounds of Christ. Some of the Saints remind us that every single Christian truly is a stigmatic although we may not necessarily see or feel those wounds of Christ.

Do you ever feel like you need to know lots about the Christian faith before you begin to share it with others? Then you need to know about Blessed Isidore Bakanja! This young man had no eduction and yet he shared the faith with such joy and urgency that it led to the conversion of many.
The 15th August is well known for being the Solemnity of the Assumption of Mary into Heaven and it is also the Feast Day of Blessed Isidore Bakanja. This is testament to the immense love that Bakanja had for his Mother Mary. To mark Bakanja's Feast Day we wanted to shine a light on his incredible life.
Our Saints in the making series - We often think that the Saints were people who lived a long time ago or had lives massively different from ours. However, God raises up Saints in every generation and they come from all sorts of backgrounds.
In the Saints in the making series we look at the heroic lives of recent men and women who are on their way to being recognised as Saints in the Catholic Church. This is Saints in the Making.

Light from Light is back with a short reflection by Br Thomas Thérèse OP on the wonderful Blessed Solanus Casey. Bl Solanus was a Capuchin friar who lived a humble life of service to all who came to him for help. He was, as the Capuchin Master General at the time of his death said, “an extraordinary example of a true Capuchin and a replica of St. Francis.”
Bl Solanus has much to teach us about the Christian life, showing us we can bring the presence of God to others. His feast day is celebrated on the 30th July. Blessed Solanus Casey, pray for us.
