Have you read anything about the life of St. Kateri Tekakwitha? If not, I would encourage you to do so in preparation for her feast day tomorrow (July 14). Although she died in 1680, there are aspects of her life that speak directly to us in the modern age.
The ORDO says that she "led a life of great austerity and love in spite of ridicule and abuse." It is my impression that Christians of today are being called to that same austerity and love in the midst of ridicule and abuse. In many circumstances it seems that modern culture is not very hospitable toward Christian beliefs and principles. Some think that American political correctness grows more hostile toward Christianity with each passing day.
The "Lily of the Mohawks" demonstrates the ability to bloom where one is planted. May each of us produce abundant fruit regardless of the circumstances surrounding our daily lives!
