- Quote from Catherine of Siena: "When you are who you
are called to be you will set the world ablaze."
- Statement from Bishop Bruskewitz on the single life:
"Single people, who have chosen to remain unmarried for
the sake of the kingdom (Matthew 19:12), are available for
many apostolates. These single people can be lay
missionaries, dedicated to helping the sick, all with a
greater intensity than would otherwise be possible."

The Kitchen Madonna:
Patroness of The
Catholic View for Women
Mary was not only Jesus' Mother, but also a housewife.
Her utensils are earthly and heavenly symbols. The key
represents the safety in the house and also the way
into heaven. The kettle symbolizes nourishment for
body and soul. The broom represents cleanliness in the
home and in thoughts and deeds.
