Living Catholic Saints alive and working in Fort Wayne, Indiana

Not all prophecy is in the Bible.  This book, quoted below, outsold the Holy Bible for six years.  The J.K. Rowling of his day, Richard Bach had made tens of millions of dollars on his first book, Jonathan Livingston Seagull.

As he says in the introduction, he did not wish to write again - as writing is and was a painful, difficult and frustrating craft.  Art is never finished, merely abandoned.

If you wish to be in the presence of God's holy grace, the promises of Jesus at the Ascension fulfilled in daily life, visit Saint Henry's, in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

Paul and Father Dan are my teachers, and to a limited extent, my friends.  You see, I grew up here - and am typing this in my Father's house, now long dead - my father's house, 200 yards from the church front door.

My parents walked to church Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday - plus Sundays in the car, for nearly 70 years.  Saints run in my family - seven on my Mother's side, including the Blessed Mother Guerin of Indiana, my great X5 aunt.

I know the signs - and if you need a burning bush, come on over.  Miracles abound around here like baby rabbits.

Illusions, Chapter one, By Richard Bach, 1977


1. There was a Master come unto the Earth, 
raised in the Holy Land of Indiana, and raised
in the mystical hills East of Fort Wayne.

2.  The Master learned his trade and grew in the 
public schools of Indiana, and as he grew in his
trade as a mechanic of buildings and automobiles.

But the Master as he grew remembered other 
lands and other schools, from other lives that
he had lived.  He remembered these, and
remembering, became wise and strong,
so that others saw his strength and came to him
for counsel.
4. He believed that He had power to help himself and all
mankind, and as he believed, so it was for him, so that 
others saw his power and came to him to be healed of their
troubles and their many diseases.

5. The Master believed that it is well for any man to think
of himself as a Son or Daughter of God, and as he believed,
so it was, and the shops and garages and church became
crowded and jammed with those who sought his learning and
his touch, and the streets outside with those who longed only
that the shadow of his passing might fall upon them, 

And Change Their Lives.
