This is a great article about the North American Martyrs, and the priests of today.

"If all Priests were like Father Jogues, I would confess your God to be the one and true God Whom I would adore with every atom of my being, and the Roman Church as His only Church..." These words were spoken by an atheist after he had read the following.

From the tome Lives of Saints with Excerpts from Their Writings, Selected and Illustrated, edited by Rev. Father Joseph Vann, O.F.M. (New York: John J. Crawley & Co., Inc., 1954), here is a brief hagiography of one of the greatest heroes of American history: St. Isaac Jogues, Martyr.

From the tome Lives of Saints with Excerpts from Their Writings, Selected and Illustrated, edited by Rev. Father Joseph Vann, O.F.M. (New York: John J. Crawley & Co., Inc., 1954), here is a Letter written by St. Isaac Jogues, sent before he ventured forth to win his glorious crown of martyrdom.

May Our Lord and His Blessed Mother deign to pour forth into the hearts of all clerics throughout the Catholic world the Apostolic zeal and selfless magnanimity of this great Martyr!
