Catholic Stories

Raised to be holy. Born into something far more dangerous. Seventeen year old, Evienne Ellery spent her life preparing for heaven. Sent away to a secluded boarding school in the Swiss Alps by distant, unfeeling adoptive parents, she was raised by nuns and priests to be obedient, submissive and small. Behind stone chapels and cold classrooms, Evienne learned early that love was conditional, punishment was holy, and suffering was something to be endured quietly Her future was simple: be good, be faithful, and one day do her duty-marry a man who would secure her family's interests. Her life was planned. Controlled. Perfect. Until it wasn't. When everything she knows collapses, Evienne is torn from the only world she has ever known and sent to live with her biological family-six brothers who are loud, vulgar, violent, and unapologetically criminal. They don't pray. They don't obey. And they certainly don't believe in God the way she was taught. They believe in blood. With them, she learns the truth of who she really is: The lost princess of one of the most powerful mafia families in the world. Her brothers have been searching for her for years, and now that they've found her, they refuse to lose her again. In their world of power, crime, and betrayals, Evienne learns that love doesn't always look gentle-and protection often comes with a body count. But as old family feuds resurface, enemies close in, and the past she was hidden from begins to reach for her, Evienne is forced to confront an impossible question: What happens when the people you love will never be welcome in heaven-and you're no longer sure you want to go without them?

The church was empty. But he wasn't. Some sins feel like home. Some loves feel like prayer. One word from her broke him. One touch from him damned her. In the sacristy, between rosaries and lust, they built a heaven the world calls sin. He calls it blasphemy. She calls it love. This is the story of a priest who forgot how to pray, and the woman who taught him how to burn. In her name. Lord, forgive me not.

"You will believe if you trust enough." My friend said to me before walking towards the grand gate of the Church. I just watched at the pew while he walked ever so confidently from the entrance to the Altar. He said he'll be my guide, and I'll trust him to it. -signed, Felix.

[Volume V Late June 2026 - In progress] Welcome to Volume V, it is not necessary to read any of the previous volumes or letters since each letter is a stand alone work. Feel free to start reading from the latest day, or pick your favorite Princess from the chapter names and start there. The content within are not written sequentially. Thank you! No one wants to feel lonely, and sometimes all you need is someone to talk to. Sadly sometimes people don't have anyone, so I am writing these letters for those that need someone. This way you at least have a friend thinking about you and talking to you. Sometimes we take for granted our ability to lead a normal life. However for some, like the young royals of the world, they don't have the luxury of leading a normal life. Perhaps it's difficult for them to make friends? Perhaps they don't have anyone to talk to? Who knows? We are a family, and family takes care of each other. And although these letters are addressed to them, they are equally for everyone. These letters are as much for you as they are for them. Thanks everyone, enjoy! Saint Anthony Guide

We are deep in a dark wood. I warm you with my blood. Stranger Things Au/Steve Harrington Cover By: viendettas

When the Veil, a God-made barrier to protect Earth from the threat of the supernatural, was broken after the deaths of thousands during the Second World War, Heaven responded with the creation of a regiment of Protectorates: the Enochian Guards. The Protectorates, drawn from one thousand humans across the world, were trained and genetically-modified to bear angelic essence within them, allowing them to do feats no mortal beings could. No longer human, these hybrids were capable of interfacing with Heaven's technology. One of them was the Praetorian Battle Gear, a nigh-invincible suit of armor which both protects the user and acts as an extension of their bodies. Enter Blackshot, a Protectorate temporarily assigned in Athens. As part of an alliance between humanity and Heaven when the supernatural threats intensified, he was there to keep darkness at bay. However, a near-death sent him to the footsteps of a cathedral. The Son appeared and gave him a Holy Wound: a stigmata of His pierced heart as an invitation to suffer in union with Him. He accepted, carrying the Wound with faith that he won't be abandoned by the Son while a new powerful evil rise in the horizon. Uncovering a cult in Athens as well as a three-way alliance which threatened both the normalcy and stability of the city, Blackshot must navigate his way across the Greek city to root out evil along with the Agency, his human allies, assisting him in every twist and turn while preventing the resurrection of an ancient evil.

Ang pag-ibig, sabi nila, ay hindi namimili. Hindi ng lugar, hindi ng kasarian, at lalong hindi ng relihiyon. Ngunit ang mundong ginagalawan nila, Sa isang pagkakataong hindi nila inaasahan, nagtagpo ang dalawang pusong hindi dapat nagkakilala, dalawang taong magkaiba ng paniniwala, pinalaki ng magkaibang mundo, at itinadhanang manatili sa kani-kanilang hangganan. Ngunit sa kabila ng lahat, may kung anong tahimik na puwersang naglapit sa kanila-isang koneksyong hindi maipaliwanag, isang damdaming unti-unting naging totoo. Hindi ito iyong uri ng pag-ibig na malaya. Hindi ito iyong pag-ibig na madaling ipaglaban. Dahil sa bawat titig, may kasamang takot. Sa bawat paglapit, may kaakibat na panganib. At sa bawat pagpili sa isa't isa, may kapalit na posibilidad na mawala ang lahat-pamilya, paniniwala, at ang mundong kinalakihan nila. Paano mo pipiliin ang taong mahal mo kung ang kapalit nito ay ang mga taong unang nagturo sa'yo kung paano magmahal? Paano mo hahawakan ang isang pag-ibig na mula pa lang sa simula ay hindi na pinapayagan? Sa pagitan ng tama at dapat, puso at paninindigan, ng pag-ibig at obligasyon doon sila sinusubok. Dahil minsan, hindi sapat ang mahal niyo ang isa't isa. Minsan, kahit siya na ang tamang tao... kung mali ang panahon, kung mali ang pagkakataon, mas kinakailangan mong matutong bumitaw. Dahil hindi lahat ng pag-ibig ay itinadhana para magtagal. Ang iba, itinadhana lang para maramdaman o masubukan at nauuwi... Sa masakit. Its called. "You were the right person... just not at the right time."

Essays in Catholic spirituality, theology and devotion.

The Catholic Mass is more than a weekly tradition for millions of devotees. It's a refuge where one comes to find peace, clarity, and genuine strength within one's devotion. With the Mass comes the unification of the Word of God, prayer, examination of conscience, and the Eucharist-each infinitely strong in rejuvenating one's heart and spirit. As one may find within "The Inspiring Journey of Pastor Thom O'Leary: Three Decades of Faith", the message and motivation behind devotion have the power to shape a life, despite moments of tribulation and triumph. The Mass isn't only figurative. It's an experienced reality by which one becomes elevated, comforted, and reminded that one is not alone.

Harriette Hampton's life in Gay, Georgia is okay. She has a relationship with her mother in need of mending, she still goes to church and Catholic school despite her true religious beliefs, and as far as she's concerned nothing is getting better anytime soon. But when she sees a mysterious girl in the back of her church and lets her take over her thoughts Harriette's life turns from okay, to downright terrible.

Nick has a compelling life story; growing up illegitimate, forsaken by his dysfunctional step-father and hapless mother, he spent a tough youth in foster homes; eventually attending Maryville Academy, Illinois as a boarder in 1955. The route that Nick takes through life mirrors America's unique social history from civil rights, war and social upheaval to the individualism of the new century. It explores the struggles of a man's conflict with his own identity, race, sexuality and place in society. Moving, at times hilarious and engaging, you're fascinated by how Nick survives, but your relationship with him is uneasy. There's an underlying atavism in Nick; unsettling, disturbing and questioning the reader's own sense of morality.
