France has given us so many saints. We call France the “Eldest Daughter of the Church” because of her deep Catholic roots. Some have said she’s an aging grandma in hospice – but you wouldn’t have thought that when Pope Leo visited last month! So, on the feast of St. Martin of Tours, a great French saint, let’s pray for our Eldest Daughter. @thegnewsroom

November is the month of the Faithful Departed, when we pray for those whom we loved, as well as the poor souls in purgatory. Thanks be to God that the mercy of Jesus is so powerful that it can even extend after death! @thegnewsroom

I hear a lot of people reminisce about traditions they think have gone away. Those traditions don't have to be things of the past! You love them, you appreciate them? Do them! @thegnewsroom

The other day a wonderful woman gave me a spiritual bouquet. Have you ever heard that term? It’s when somebody promises you prayers! It’s one of the most beautiful, powerful, and touching gifts that I could get. @thegnewsroom

Are you familiar with the term “influencer?” I hear it all the time. I finally asked what it means, and they told me that they’re people that move us in society. I tell you this: the real “influencers” are the saints! We don’t need to go to social media. We’ve got Jesus, we’ve got His Mother, and we’ve got the saints in Heaven! @thegnewsroom
