February Saint of the Month
St. Rose Philippine Duchesne, R.S.C.J. Missionary to Native Americans
St. Rose Philippine Duchesne was a passionate young woman with a heart for missionary work. She joined the Visitation nuns at the age of 19, but a few years later, convents were shut down during the French Revolution, and Rose was forced to return to life as a lay woman for many years. Ten years later, she was finally able to rejoin a convent, this time as a member of the Society of the Sacred Heart. In 1818, she was sent to the Louisiana Territory as a missionary, facing illness, hardship and hunger to bring Catholicism to the Native Americans. She opened the first free school for girls west of the Mississippi river, as well as the first Catholic school for Native Americans. She was known among the Pottawatomie Indians as the "Woman Who Prays Always.

Pope Benedict XVI on God the Almighty Father
In last Wednesday's catechesis, Pope Benedict focused on the words of the Creed: "I believe in God, the Father Almighty" and in particular on God as Father. Despite the crisis of fatherhood in many societies, the Scriptures show us clearly what it means to call God 'Father.'" You can read the full test of his general audience at http://www.zenit.org/article-36436?l=english.
Pope Benedict XVI's February Prayer Intentions
That migrant families, especially the mothers, may be supported and accompanied in their difficulties.
