I'm fascinated by the Saints from our time, of whom we actually have photographs.

Sometimes, when I'm taking a long drive on my own, I ask St. Pio of Pietrelcina to join me in the passenger seat. One of the few Saints who actually have ridden in a car, I assume. As we must assume St. Oscar Romero also has.

Never any shortage of Catholic Martyrs, is there?

Did I ever tell you about the Sisters of Perpetual Adoration in Sioux Falls? One day, an insane man broke into the chapel and tried to get his hands on the Blessed Sacrament, and the Sisters guarded the Eucharist with their own bodies, and I can only imagine what could have happened if the monster had been armed.
