(speaker) waited to see if her audience would quiet down. When they didn't she shushed them gently before continuing. "Frances was in a little trouble with her father. When the food her family had began to run out her father was not happy. But when he went to show the family the empty food store house, God filled it with food and wine." Several of the children listening gaped silently. "From then on her husband and father-in-law believed in God and her efforts to help the poor. Frances sold her jewelry and gave the money to the poor."

On a small peninsula, 70 miles southwest of New Orleans, there is a single stretch of road that leads into a fascinating place called Isle de Jean Charles. This is a place where living off the land is a way of life that is quickly becoming impossible to accomplish. The wetlands that used to provide nourishment for the plants and wildlife have now been replaced with the water from the Gulf and neither the freshwater marshes nor the vegetation were able to sustain this intrusion. Where there used to be a forest full of animals for trapping and hunting, there is salty water rippled only by poisoned carcasses of massive oak trees that still stand. The people living on the island are desperate and the Army Corps of Engineers has the power to help. The residents of Isle de Jean Charles deserve to see their children and grandchildren grow up on the land that they call home, but at what cost?

I am choosing St. Anastasia because she made it through tough times with her faith always in God. St. Anastasia was not canonized, she has been declared a saint by the early Christian community based on her life of heroic virtue and her martyrdom. St. Anastasia spent her time caring for the prisoners. She would feed them and care for them if they were ill. The prisoners she cared for were not there for any violent crimes, but were locked up for being Christian. A virtue that I identitfy with St. Anastasia is charity because I help people that are in need and out of the kindness of my heart. St. Anastasia was so self-less about helping other people, even if it meant risking her life. Her father was a pagan and her mother was secretly a

March 25th, 1347 Saint Catherine was born in Italy. St Catherine is the patron of firefighters, illness, miscarriages, nurses and sick people.

The saint I chose for my project is Saint Cecilia. I chose this Saint because she is the Saint of Music and at my school I play an instrument. No one knows exactly when Saint Cecilia was born but people believe she died around 117 A.D (After Death). Saint Cecilia's body was discovered incorrupt in 1599, she is known for being the first incorrupt saint. She was Married to a man named Valerian, but she still wanted to stay a virgin. Valerian was not a Catholic.

To me, Saint Quiteria has proven she is more than worthy of being called a saint. Saint Quiteria was born during the second century, and was a part of a nonuplet, or nine children born at the same time. Quiteria’s mother and father were both high figures a part of the Roman Empire. Her mother feared she would be compared to an animal, because of the amount of daughters she had at once, she ordered a maiden from town to drown her nine baby daughters. The maiden taking mercy on the children, decided to raise them with the other peasant women. The nine children were raised in a close-community and raised in the Catholic faith. A few years later, the daughters were arrested for refusing to believe in a Roman god, and they were all taken to the governor – who was their father¬ - who recognized them through their familiar features.

St Brigid of Kildare was born in 452 AD. She was a catholic nun who became one of the patron saints of Ireland. She dedicated her whole life to following Jesus’s message; which was to love god, and love others. She shared this as her own message, through the love and support she gave to others in the community. Like Jesus she wanted to help the less fortunate and give to those that were in need, offering them hope and faith. She chose to seek out justice among her community and society, working around the lives of many. She was inspired by Jesus spirituality, nature and love, that she wanted to demonstration her appreciation and strength to those who were struggling. For example, she used her middle-class lifestyle to contribute to feeding the poor and nursing those who were injured or sick. Her childhood was filled with donating her mothers and father’s possessions to anyone who asked (Online, n.d.).

Joan of Arc was born in Domremy, France in 1412. She was born into a very poor family during the medieval age of France. Raised as a peasant girl, she was never taught to read or write, but had a passion for the Roman Catholic Church and its teachings. In this paper, I show how Joan embodied bravery, leadership and courage throughout her life. Also how she helped France believe they could win and how she changed the lives of many people around her.

An hour after the girl was declared dead, workers came in to remove her body but stopped when they noticed that the cloth covering her was shaking. Suddenly, the girl threw off the fabric and exclaimed that Jesus Christ healed her and gave back her

“Her days were filled with unremitting toil for the natives, who saw and felt her Christian spirit and love” (Hosier 269). She had great faith that he would provide, even when she wasn’t sure about the next meal and said things like, “God will provide, we need only pray” (Hosier 269).

Fathers, Martyrs, and Our Religion is Better: A New Critical Outlook on The Life of Saint Cecilia

Raising a child that isn’t yours is not so uncommon as you think. Although it may be seen as a burden at first, the caregivers often receive a mutual emotional and parental connection. Today more children are being raised by one of their biological parents as well as a non biological parent. Whether it be their step parent, neighbor or even people who are unaware that the child they are raising is not even their own. These relationships are dynamic and often start out with mistrust and dislike, but often lead to beautiful relationships in the end. This is one of the global issues in both “St. Vincent” directed by Theodore Melifi, and ‘Beata Ignorancia” directed by Massimiliano Bruno.

Although the exact dates aren’t official, a girl named Cecilia was born sometime in the 2nd or 3d century A.D in Rome.

However, Cecilia vowed her virginity to God, and wore sackcloth, fasted and prayed often in hopes of keeping her promise to Him.
