Saint John the Baptist (c. 6 B.C.E. to c. 28-36 C.E.) Saint Joseph, Husband of Mary (c. 30 B.C.E. to c. 18-19 C.E.)

Among other reformist actions, Saint Paul VI, a moderate, progressive pope, turned his attention to dialogue with the modern world, especially in its social and political aspects. He was a highly intelligent, refined, and sensitive man, exemplary, imbued with the Holy Spirit, deeply compassionate.
Roman Catholic clergy tread the fine line separating their objectionable interference in politics from their necessary intervention driven by moral imperatives. Saint Oscar Romero rightly discerned the difference, paying the price of martyrdom for calling the powerful to account for their grave violations of the moral law.
Her life and writings uniquely contributed to mystical theology, showing the way for all the faithful to contemplative union with God in this life. She is honored by the Roman Catholic Church as the Doctor of the Soul.
She practiced extreme ascetism, received the most rarefied mystical graces, and attained the topmost heights of God’s mountain. Her Dialogue with God the Father marvelously enlightens the denizens of the lowlands about the deepest mysteries of Christian life and faith.
