St. Cecilia Offered Her Life as a Sacrifice to God
St. Cecilia’s story is a breathtaking tale of heroism and romance that models the life of a young woman lost in love for Christ.

Through the intercession of Pope St. Leo, we pray that the Church stands firm in God’s truth and knows the protection of lasting peace.
‘St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross says to us all: Do not accept anything as the truth if it lacks love,’ said Pope St. John Paul II. ‘And do not accept anything as love that lacks truth.’
On this great feast day, we join the Christians throughout history as we thank God for granting us the protection of his Mother,
‘How consoling it is to know,’ said Padre Pio, ‘that we are always under the protection of a heavenly spirit, who never abandons us!’
To which saint can we, the occasionally irascible, turn?
Paul VI did not shy away from the suffering that would follow from reiterating the Church’s ancient teaching on contraception.
In 2016, Pope Francis named Father Rother a martyr of the faith, the first martyr from the United States, and in 2017 he became the first beatified U.S.-born priest.
Teaching and defending the faith was a holy mission for the saintly pope who guided the Church from 1903 to 1914.
Elizabeth’s life is a gentle rebuke to our fractious age of outrage
