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.

Some thoughts for this Saturday



Some thoughts to think about. they pretty much pertain to the Gospel for tomorrow, when Jesus heals the deaf/dumb person.




We all have someone in our family who has left the Faith. They might still call themselves Catholic, but their hearts are not in it, and hence, they do not practice the Faith, or have rejected it. It's just not that important to them. My new saying is this: 'Our eternity depends on Jesus Christ, and we have turned our backs to Him.' Following are some thoughts from one who had left the Faith to pursue the pleasures of the world, only to not be satisfied with them and returning to the Ark of Salvation.

“Late have I loved you, O Beauty ever ancient, ever new, late have I loved you! You were within me, but I was outside, and it was there that I searched for you. In my unloveliness I plunged into the lovely things which you created. You were with me, but I was not with you. Created things kept me from you; yet if they had not been in you they would have not been at all. You called, you shouted, and you broke through my deafness. You flashed, you shone, and you dispelled my blindness. You breathed your fragrance on me; I drew in breath and now I pant for you. I have tasted you, now I hunger and thirst for more. You touched me, and I burned for your peace.”

St. Augustine from his Confessions

His conversion is the result of many prayers from his mother, Monica. 30 years of them, in fact.

Go to Mary, and ask St. Monica's prayers also.
