Saint of the Day

St. Nicholas Pieck (1534-1572)
Nicholas sought the conversion of Calvinists. He evangelized throughout Belgium and Holland, and was appointed the superior of a monastery. When the Calvinists captured him, he was tortured. Failing to make him deny the Catholic faith, they killed him.

Reflections from the Saints

We must always serve God with cheerfulness.

Life in Christ: Catechism #2331

"God is love and in himself he lives a mystery of personal loving communion. Creating the human race in his own image.... God inscribed in the humanity of man and woman the vocation, and thus the capacity and responsibility, of love and communion." "God created man in his own image... male and female he created them"; He blessed them and said, "Be fruitful and multiply"; "When God created man, he made him in the likeness of God. Male and female he created them, and he blessed them and named them Man when they were created."
