Quote for the Day

[Shin]

'Be ever ready and disposed to receive Me, because henceforth I will make My abode in thee so as to hold familiar converse with thee.'

The Lord, to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque

[odhiambo]

“October 11. This evening, as I was writing about this great mercy of God and its great advantage to souls, Satan rushed into my room with great anger and fury. He seized the screen and began to break and crush it. I was a little frightened at first, but immediately made the sign of the cross with my little crucifix, and the beast fell quiet and disappeared at once. ..”

The power of the Sign of the Cross my friends; the Power of the Sign of the Cross!
Let us "sign" ourselves are often as possible.

[Shin]

"Believe me, Brethren, Satan dreads the watchings of holy men, and their prayers, and fasts, and voluntary poverty, and works of mercy, and humility, and, above all, their ardent love for Christ our Lord, at the mere sign of whose most holy Cross, he is disabled, and put to flight."

St. Anthony the Great

As a vessel that has no anchor is tossed about by the wind, so our mind, when not anchored to faith, is continually agitated by the wind of human opinions and doctrines.
St. Gregory the Great

[Brigid]

The prayers of the Blessed Virgin, being the prayers of His Mother, have in them something of a command.

'Certainly reverent prayers together with giving thanks ought to be said when we rise from sleep, when we go forth, when we prepare to receive food, after receiving it, and at the hour of incense, when at last we are going to rest.'

St. Ambrose

[Brigid]

It is a great thing in any saint to have grace sufficient for the salvation of many souls; but to have (as Mary had) enough to suffice for the salvation of everybody in the world, is the greatest of all.


St. Thomas Aquinas, OP

[George]

'Certainly reverent prayers together with giving thanks ought to be said when we rise from sleep, when we go forth, when we prepare to receive food, after receiving it, and at the hour of incense, when at last we are going to rest.'

St. Ambrose

I like this one from 'The Book of Hours'

Night Prayer
Our help is in the name of the Lord,
the maker of heaven and earth.
In peace I will lie down and sleep,
for You alone make me lie down in safety.

[Shin]

I like it a good deal too. It is very peaceful.

[George]
