Heroic Virtues
These are the very virtues that make an ordinary person a Saint.

Persecution and Suffering
No doubt persecution and suffering are an integral part of Christian life. But Christ, himself, suffers with us when we go through these testing times. He does not leave us alone (Mt 25:40). He has a reason for every suffering that is from his will. Many Saints suffered: St Therese had a nervous disorder for… Continue reading

Even his Saints have brought about many miracles through his holy name. The most prominent of these could be from the shadow… Continue reading
About Me
I’m a preacher and share a very close bond with Mother Mary. Being a Freelance Writer and having a Content Writing experience of over ten years, writing has become a part of my life.

I reside with my immediate family in Bangalore and hope to share wisdom as such with everyone.
