By Steven Tucker, Crisis Magazine - While older Christian leaders act as if they're still in the 70's, young Christians around the world are taking up the sign of the Cross... Suddenly, crosses are everywhere on the streets of Great Britain. And the automatic main response of the Christian church in that country is to complain...

By Walker Larson, Catholic Exchange - In addition to her much-beloved Story of a Soul, St. Therese of Lisieux wrote many poems during her earthly sojourn. She wrote them for herself, to express the longings of her heart, but due to her worldwide fame following her death, we are blessed to have the chance to read these meditations of her soul...

Many of the poems were composed to be sung to hymn tunes that were familiar to late nineteenth-century French worshippers.”
