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.

DISRESPECT


Disrespect
I am repeating a post from the past (Sept. 2010), which I feel is still relevant today. And, I am unanimous in this.


I am amazed how far we have come in regard to freely disrespecting others and being able to get away with it. The political ads are so nasty, I don't want to vote for any of them. My choices won't win anyway. The dems always complaining about how they've been smeared, when it is usually them that fire the first volley. A political analyst said that the ads don't have to be true, they just need to put that little bit of doubt in the minds of the voters. It is truly sickening.

One being that won't be mocked and criticized so freely is God. He will take it seriously, today and the day when we croak. What really sickens me is when people come to church, and they're not dressed appropriately, women not being humble enough to cover their heads, or just disrespect for The Presence in the Holy Eucharist. People taking Communion in their grubby little hands. Particles falling onto the floor, which we will either step on or which will be swept up into a dirt-devil. Mother Teresa said when she was alive that "Communion in the hand is the worst sacrilege in the 20th century." I agree. I would bet everything that I have(which isn't much) that the 'other' prayer that the angel gave the children at Fatima pertains to these times, in reparation for the disrespect that God gets at the masses of this day. We all remember the first prayer, "O my God, forgive us our sins and save us from the fires of hell. Lead all souls to heaven, especially those who are most in need of Thy mercy." But, does anyone remember to say the 'other' which the angel gave to the children? A lot of people don't. I'm going to add it, and say that it should be said every day at least 3 times, in honor of the Blessed Trinity. Here it is:

O Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, I adore Thee profoundly. I offer Thee the Most Precious Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus Christ, present in all the tabernacles of the world, in reparation for the outrages, sacrileges, and indifference by which He Himself is offended. Through the infinite merits of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg the conversion of poor sinners.


This prayer has to be for our times, seeing the disrespect that our Lord receives each and every day of the year. This even happens by 'enlightened catholics', who don't even know the Faith as it comes from Jesus and the Apostles.


May God have mercy on our poor souls.
