Pope Saint Celestine I, Heresy Fighter
By Debra Booton McCoy
After the tumultus start of Pope Boniface's papacy, the attack of the Visigoths on the city of Rome and the difficulties of having a number of short papacies back to back, it was time for a man of dignity (and longevity) take over the reign. This pope chose to uphold the rights of the Church and the dignity of the office.

St. Lucy's Day
By Sue Hallett
Our lives are not perfect. In fact, they often contain heartache and sorrow. And, of course, our individual problems pale in comparison to the suffering of the world itself. It’s hard to figure out how an individual can make much difference in resolving war and political conflict.
