Joy for the recognized saint today! I wish she was on my birthday, the 11th. First saint of the US. I visited her shrine and school in Maryland. Wonderful history and works she did. Today’s first reading says that the one who sins belongs to the devil! What a frightening thought. Other bible translations say…
