Thought for the day:

"Give me grace to amend my life, and to have an eye to mine end, without grudge of death, which to them that die in thee,
good Lord, is the gate of a wealthy life."
St. Thomas More

THREE THINGS

"Three things are necessary for the salvation of man; to know what he ought to believe; to know what he ought to desire; and to know what he ought to do."
St. Thomas Aquinas

Rights of Man?

"The people have heard quite enough about what are called the 'rights of man'. Let them hear about the rights of God for once". Pope Leo XIII Tamesti future, Encyclical

Eternity

All souls owe their eternity to Jesus Christ. Unfortunately, many have turned their back to him.

Ponder

I have been reading a book entitled, "The Quiet Light", by Louis de Wohl. It's about Saint Thomas Aquinas written as if by an observer. Very interesting, so far. Thanks, Kris. It is about how he came from royalty, and how his family wanted him to be royalty, not just a beggar monk. So far, so good.

Anyway, in it was a quote from St. Augustine which I think is something to ponder:

"Understanding is the reward of faith. Therefore, seek not to understand that thou mayest believe, but believe that thou mayest understand".


Lord, that I may see.
