saints

We've had several saints this week that I have overlooked.

St. Teresa of Avila (1515-1582) Spain - Doctor of the Church
St. Margaret Mary (1647 - 1690) France - vision of the Sacred Heart, first Friday devotion
St. Ignatius of Antioch (35 - 110) Palestine and Rome - early church martyr whose writings show belief in the Eucharist, incarnation, and authority of the Church

To learn more about these saints go to the Catholic Encyclopedia at Newadvent.org
