Quote for the Day

[Shin]

Let us then cast ourselves at the feet of this good Mother, embracing them let us not depart until she blesses us, and accepts us for her children.
St. Bernard of Clairvaux

This reminds me of a picture I once saw of Our Lady with all of her children kept safe under her mantle.

May the virgin Mary mild bless us with her Holy Child.

[MidnightSun12]

"Saint Francis de Sales sets us a very good example of faith in this respect: once when he was quite exhausted from the visits of the day and remembered, towards midnight, that he had left a few decades of his Rosary unsaid, he would not go to bed until he had finished them on his knees, not-withstanding all the efforts of his secretary who saw he was tired and begged him to let the rest of his prayers go until the next day."
-St. Louis Marie de Montfort

This quote makes me think how very important keeping up a habit of devotion is, I know breaking off a habit even briefly seems to open the door to breaking it off more and more and losing it.

Only after the last judgement will Mary get any rest; from now until then, she is much to busy with her children.
St. John Vianney

Proud is many a man who looks down on his neighbor because the wool of his gown is finer! Yet as fine as it is, a poor sheep wore it upon her back before it came upon his back, and all the while she wore it, she was after all still only a sheep. And why should he now think himself better than she was, simply by having her wool....wool that, even though it is now his, is still not so truly his, as it was truly hers.
St. Thomas More

'In a state of grace the soul is like a well of limpid water, from which flow only streams of clearest crystal. Its works are pleasing both to God and man, rising from the River of Life, beside which it is rooted like a tree.'

St. Teresa of Jesus

[George]

Prayer that is pure and directed to God by a faithful heart arises like incense from a holy altar. No fragrance is more pleasing to the Lord.
Let it rise from all who believe.
St. Augustine

[Shin]

Yes they are beautiful and thought provoking. Every now and then I go searching and come across a little nugget and can't wait to share it here. I always wonder though mmm has somebody already posted it here, then I figure it's so sublime why not post it again.

If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow men.
St. Francis of Assisi
