By Larry Peterson
During the time of the Crusades, it happened that one day three of the Knights of St. John were caught in an ambush and captured by the Saracens. The three prisoners were brothers and happened to be from the highly regarded family of Eppes in northern France. They were all loyal and true to the faith, a trait that would be immediately tested.

The Chaplet of St. Joseph
By Frank J. Maduri
My devotion to St. Joseph has been a part of my faith journey for as long as I can remember. I have always felt a special closeness to this great and influential saint within the Catholic tradition. In prior work for this site I have shared that St. Joseph was my Confirmation Saint, and that anything I have asked for when I pray for his intercession, it comes to fruition.

70th Anniversary of Exorcism Performed by St. Michael the Archangel
70th Anniversary of Exorcism Performed by St. Michael the Archangel
By Norman Fulkerson
This year marks the seventieth anniversary of the only documented exorcism in the United States of America.1 This is important because one of the biggest lies of the devil is to convince mankind that he does not exist. This perhaps explains the stunned reaction of audiences to the dramatized version of this exorcism in the 1973 movie The Exorcist.

The Man Hating Spirit
The Man Hating Spirit
By Susan Skinner
The man-hating spirit is everywhere now (so is the woman hating, but that’s for another article). It’s a palpable, tangible presence. I know because it has attacked me before.
