Today, we celebrate the memorial of St. Blaise, patron of throats. It is said from being a healer of bodily ailments, Saint Blaise was to become an expert on souls, then he retired for a time to a cavern where he remained in prayer. See if your priest is giving the traditional throat blessing in your parish today!

Today we celebrate Consecrated Life! "In our world, where it often seems that the signs of God's presence have been lost from sight, a convincing prophetic witness on the part of consecrated persons is increasingly necessary". (VC, 85). Click here to watch the documentary.
