Mary of Egypt: The Journey from a Life of Sin to Redemption to Sainthood
By Larry Peterson
In his "Essay on Man", Alexander Pope penned three words that became immortalized; "Hope springs eternal". Nowhere do these words fit better than into the Catholic Church. For the Church of Christ is the home of forgiveness, mercy and, of course, redemption. Meet, Mary of Egypt.

A Mother's Prayers are answered giving us Two Great Saints and a new Marian Feast Day

What History would Always be in a Fallen World, Part III: the Way of the Saint for the Peoples of God
What History would Always be in a Fallen World, Part III: the Way of the Saint for the Peoples of God
By Scott Pauline
In the first essays on the Greater Ages in Abstraction, we saw that God must have an Old Testament to prepare for the Incarnation in any fallen world, and that such OT consists of two preliminary, preeminent phases of sin and chastisement for all of humanity, then the formation of Prefiguring Covenant, God espousing Himself to a little “underdog” amongst the many to be His special “People”,

What History would Always be in a Fallen World, Part II: the Preeminent Ages
What History would Always be in a Fallen World, Part II: the Preeminent Ages
By Scott Pauline
From the Part I of the Greater Ages in Abstraction, we saw that God can in no wise send the Incarnation immediately into a fallen world but must first have, at the least, a Covenant of pictures, types, that foreshadow the things that really matter. Now, we will ask, can God even commence the Prefiguring Covenant immediately after the presumed fall of the creatures?

What History would Always be in a Fallen World, Part I: the Prefiguring Covenant
By Scott Pauline
In the Introduction to the Abstract Fallen World, we saw that the material creation proves the most complex and wonderful, in that, if it falls, an Incarnation introduces the possibility of God loving the creatures to a greater degree than if the world had never fallen, namely that God might suffer for His creatures and forgive them.

By Scott Pauline
To recap from the introduction to the Greater Ages in Abstraction, we reiterate more precisely, the theory to this entire book is that there is a spiritual blueprint for the ages of salvation history if God is to redeem man to his fullest potential before the end of history.

Our Lady of Good Remedy---Her Intercession saved Countless Christian Slaves
By Larry Peterson
Those gospel passages from Matthew's gospel give us Jesus' teachings on what is commonly known as the Corporal Works of Mercy. Who could have ever thought at the time of Christ that 1200 years later these simple directives from our Lord would not only lead to the founding of two religious orders, the Trinitarians and the Mercedarians, but also to a special devotion to the Blessed Mother where she
