You are not alone on this pilgrimage of faith These stories of faith and courage will find their way into your heart each morning. They may even influence the way that you treat others. They have the power to slowly transform your life over the course of the next year. The Catholic Heart is about the living love, trust in God, and heroism of everyday Christians. Father Richard's stories of faith will take you from Nazi Germany to the American Heartland to the Jordan River; from Pearl Harbor to the beaches at Normandy; from ancient Israel to the apparitions of the Blessed Virgin in Bosnia-Herzegovina. You will encounter some extraordinary guides in Catholics including America's Elizabeth Ann Seton, Maximilian Kolbe, and Edith Stein. You will hear a child's words of trust in God, the last words of a martyred priest, the favorite prayer of Pope John Paul II, and the startling words of Mother Teresa to the U.S. Congress. As Father Richard chronicles these stories of the Catholic faith, you will find your own faith rekindled.
