When life knocks you on your knees, you're in the perfect position to pray.

When life knocks you on your knees, you're in the perfect position to pray.

That's a good one George and it is so true 
In fact that is when many people turn to God.

'We read in the holy Canticles, that at the Assumption of the Virgin, the angels three times asked her name: "Who is she that goeth up by the desert as a pillar of smoke?" "Who is she that cometh forth as the morning rising?" And in another: "Who is this that cometh up from the desert, flowing with delights?" Richard of St. Laurence inquires why the angels so often asked the name of this queen, and answers: The sound of the name of Mary was so sweet to the angels, and they repeated the question that they might hear it repeated also.'

St. Alphonsus Maria de Liguori

[odhiambo]

"We never give more honour to Jesus than when we honour his Mother, and we honour her simply and solely to honour him all the more perfectly. We go to her only as a way leading to the goal we seek - Jesus, her Son."

Saint Louis Marie de Montfort

“Behold, your mother!”
Jesus!

[Shin]

'Love Mary! She is loveable, faithful, constant. She will never let herself be outdone in love, but will ever remain supreme. If you are in danger, she will hasten to free you. If you are troubled, she will console you. If you are sick, she will bring you relief. If you are in need, she will help you. She does not look to see what kind of person you have been. She simply comes to a heart that wants to love her. She comes quickly and opens her merciful heart to you, embraces you and consoles and serves you. She will even be at hand to accompany you on the trip to eternity.'

St. Gabriel Possenti of the Sorrowful Mother

[George]

"Let us run to her, and, as her little children, cast ourselves into her arms with a perfect confidence."
St. Francis de Sales

[Shin]

Thank you for that to think on George!


'Saint Ignatius does not insist that we be indifferent, but that we try to become indifferent. My heart is made for God and He is jealous. I want to be entirely His. I will become a saint if I am humble, docile and generous.'

St. Bernadette Soubirous

The tears of those repenting are the wine of angels.
