Then and now

Mexico and it's Catholic history are in the spotlight today.

According to American Catholic, today's Saint is the Servant of God Joseph Perez, a Mexican martyr whose cause for Sainthood is being considered in Rome.  Joseph's story is a reminder for modern-day Catholics that the blood of martyrs is the seed of the Church.  In the third century A.D., Tertullian spoke these words; they are just as true today as they ever have been.

Evidence of others who have planted the seed of martyrdom in Mexico is also in the spotlight with the newly-released film entitled For Greater Glory.  It opened in Mexico in March of this year, and in the United States just last week.  Watch for it; it's a story that needs to be told.
