14 July • St. Kateri Tekakwitha
As we celebrate the memorial of St. Kateri Tekakwitha, the first native American saint, we remember how she left her family in order to become a Christian and to follow Christ more closely. May we share her zeal for the faith and avail ourselves of Jesus' promise that those who lose their lives for his sake will find it.
