The story of Saint Anne and Saint Joachim

Grandparents of the MessiahSt Anne and St Joachim are the parents of the Virgin Mary, and therefore the maternal grandparents of Jesus Christ. Although they are not mentioned in the canonical Gospels, their story is transmitted to us by the apocryphal Gospels, in particular the Protevangel of James. These ancient texts, although not recognised as inspired, have nourished Christian tradition and devotion since the first centuries.Joachim and Anne lived in Jerusalem, or perhaps in Galilee, according to some traditions. They were pious, generous to the poor, faithful to Jewish Law, but their couple suffered a great sorrow: they had no children. In the Jewish culture of the time, this was seen as a disgrace, a sign of divine disgrace. They bore this burden in prayer and hope. Read more...

The story of Saint James

A fisherman called by ChristSaint James the Greater was the son of Zebedee and the brother of John the Evangelist. He was one of the first disciples called by Jesus, when he was a fisherman on Lake Tiberias. Jesus chose him, along with his brother John, to form part of the very intimate circle of apostles. He witnessed key moments in Christ's life: the Transfiguration on Mount Tabor, the resurrection of Jairus' daughter, and the agony in the Garden of Olives.Named with John the "sons of thunder" (Boanergès), James was distinguished by his fiery temperament, his ardent zeal and his unshakeable loyalty. Jesus channels this energy into making him a fiery witness, ready to give his life for the Gospel. Read more...

The story of Saint Charbel Makhlouf

A childhood in Lebanon, between poverty and faithYoussef Antoun Makhlouf was born on 8 May 1828 in the remote village of Bekaa-Kafra, in northern Lebanon. His father died when he was still a child, and his mother brought up her five children alone. From an early age, Youssef showed great piety. Fascinated by the example of two of his uncles, Maronite monks, he decided at the age of 23 to enter the Notre-Dame de Mayfouq monastery. There he received the religious habit and took the name Charbel, in homage to a 2nd century martyr. This change of name marked the beginning of a life devoted entirely to God. Charbel was born in the monastery of Notre-Dame de Mayfouq, in Paris. Read more...

The story of Saint Victor

A Christian soldier facing the EmpireSaint Victor was a Roman army officer living in the early 4th century. A staunch Christian at a time of persecution, he refused to renounce his faith despite threats from the Emperor Maximian. Living in Marseille, he distinguished himself by his firmness and courage in the face of the pagan authorities. His faith was not simply an inner conviction: it was embodied in a public life faithful to the Gospel.Denounced for his refusal to sacrifice to idols, Victor was arrested. He is promised riches and honours if he denies Christ, but he replies with peaceful strength: "I am a Christian, and I will worship only the living God." These words sealed his fate. And so began a long road of suffering. Read more...
