Psalms is the most popular book in the world.
 

 
Remembering Who We Are and the Story We Belong To - Archbishop Charles J. Chaput, O.F.M. Cap. - 2016 Bishops' Symposium 

As I sat down to write my talk last week, a friend emailed me a copy of a manuscript illustration from the thirteenth century.
 

 
What Will You Do When the Persecution Comes? - Anthony Esolen - Crisis Magazine
