THE PICTURE: Is probably the closest image of her that exists. It was painted in 1576 when she was 61. Teresa did not like it; said it made her “look like an old hag.” One of the truly great Catholic mystics, and one of the first women – the other is Catherine of Siena – … Read more
It’s five minute to read & the reviewer liked the book. Review: A brief life of John Henry Newman
St. Anthony’s, of course a powerhouse team from Long Island. But not this past Saturday playing Stepinac on Stepinac home turf… Some really good video. Stepinac 42, St. Anthony’s 7
