By Bishop Joseph E. Strickland, Catholic East Texas - We are blessed with numerous models of holiness in the rich history of our Catholic Faith, and I certainly encourage all of us to treasure those favorite saints who inspire us. As wonderful as the communion of saints is, as we consider the call to holiness and how it directs the lives of every man and every woman, I believe it is important to turn to the greatest models. Jesus Christ, the God-Man, and the Immaculate Virgin Mary, the sinless woman.
