For we are God’s work of art, created in Christ Jesus for good works.
(Eph 2:10)

God’s work of art . . . wow! But that’s who we are. At times Mother Nature may make mistakes, but God never does.
Today is the feast of the North American martyrs: St René Goupil (1642), St Isaac Jogues (1646), St Jean de Lalande (1646), St Antoine Daniel (1648), St Jean de Brébeuf (1649), St Noël Chabanel (1649), St Charles Garnier (1649), and St Gabriel Lalemant (1649). They were French missionaries to the native population of North America. There was a dramatic portrayal of the challenges (and horrors) faced by the missionaries in the Canadian film, Black Robe (1991).
