Pope Saint Gregory the Great was the Pope of the Catholic Church between 590 and 604 AD. An Anglican historian stated: “It is impossible to conceive what would have been the confusion, the lawlessness, the chaotic state of the Middle Ages without the medieval papacy; and of the medieval papacy, the real father is Gregory the Great.”

St. Marie of the Incarnation, originally known as Marie Guyart, was born in Tours, France on October 28, 1599. Daughter of a baker, she was raised in a family of craftsmen and tradesmen. Although she desired to enter religious life, she entered an arranged marriage, against her wishes, with Claude Martin, a silk manufacturer, at age seventeen, and was soon the mother of one son. Widowed only after two years of marriage, she moved back with her family, and refused to discuss re-marriage. She began work as an embroiderer.

St. Catherine of Siena was one of the greatest Saints of the tumultuous era. While the black death reached its devastation, mercenary armies roamed the countryside, waging protracted warfare on behalf of their client cities. Avoiding the chaos and dangers of Rome, the papacy had decamped to a palace in Avignon, France, leaving administration of the church in the hands of corrupt and high-handed legates. This was the world into which Catherine was born. Like other great mystics, she enjoyed an intimate relationship with Christ. This was certified by a dazzling array of miraculous signs, which even in her lifetime made her something of a celebrity. What was distinctive about the holiness of Catherine was the way she mediated through her own heart the burning love of Christ and the needs of her time.

Saint Louis Mary de Montfort's life is inseparable from his efforts to promote genuine devotion to Mary, the mother of Jesus and mother of the church. Totus tuus (completely yours) was Louis's personal motto. Born in the Breton village of Montfort, close to Rennes (France), as an adult Louis identified himself by the place of his baptism instead of his family name, Grignion. Educated by Jesuits, he was considered intelligent, studious, deeply religious, artistic and somewhat shy by most of his teachers.

Saint John Mark, later known simply as Mark, was a Jew by birth. He was the son of that Mary who was proprietress of the Cenacle or "upper room" which served as the meeting place for the first Christians in Jerusalem (Acts 12:12). He was still a youth at the time of the Savior's death. In his description of the young man who was present when Jesus was seized and who fled from the rabble leaving behind his "linen cloth," the second Evangelist might possibly have stamped the mark of his own identity.

Indifferent toward religion as a young man, St. Anselm became one of the church's greatest theologians and leaders. He received the title “Father of Scholasticism” for his attempt to analyze and illumine the truths of faith to the aid of reason.
