"Then the king will say to those at his right hand, ‘Come, you that are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me.’"
- Matthew 25:34-36
"St. Timothy Catholic Church held a Ministry Fair and All Saints Festival November 1-2, 2025, in Lady Lake, Florida. The event highlighted Women of Grace, Young Women of Grace, and the Benedicta Institute for Women programs, as well as their “Tea with the Women Saints.” Pictured are facilitators and participants of Women of Grace and Young Women of Grace dressed up as St. Bernadette Soubirous, St. Mother Teresa of Calcutta, St. Joan of Arc, St. Therese Lisieux, St. Kateri Tekakwitha, and Edith Stein (St. Theresa Benedicata of the Cross). Enthralled with the women saints, one Young Women of Grace participant began researching the life of St. Lucy, Patron Saint of the eyes. Rosario plans to share this young saint’s story at our 'Tea with the Women Saints' in 2026.
I recently viewed the 1928 movie 'The Passion of St. Joan of Arc' as one of our assignments for the Benedicta Institute for Women course ‘Towards a Catholic Understanding of Women.' This movie, coupled with Young Woman of Grace Aurora’s impassioned love for St. Joan of Arc, turned my heart toward this young woman saint. Aurora spent hours learning about this young saint and enthusiastically shared St. Joan’s story with the festival participants. Inspired by both experiences, I keep St. Joan in my heart at daily Mass. When looking at the crucifix above the altar, I see Joan’s face looking up to Jesus on the cross. I pray to St. Joan to intercede for me that our Lord and Savior grace me with a fraction of the faith, trust, and love she has for Jesus."

"As the visions during the night continued, I saw coming with the clouds of heaven One like a son of man. When he reached the Ancient of Days and was presented before him, He received dominion, splendor, and kingship; all nations, peoples and tongues will serve him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that shall not pass away, his kingship, one that shall not be destroyed."

“Why do you pass judgment on your brother? Or you, why do you despise your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of God; for it is written, 'As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall give praise to God.' So each of us shall give account of himself to God."
-Romans 14: 10-11
