Quote for the Day

[Shin]

One of the most moving phrases for me is this:

"What is there, O man, that I could have done for thee which I have not done?"

The Twelfth Prayer of St. Bridget

O Jesus! Mirror of Truth, symbol of unity, bond of charity, remember the multitude of wounds with which Thou wast afflicted from head to foot, torn and reddened by the spilling of Thy adorable Blood. O great and universal pain, which Thou didst suffer in Thy virginal flesh for love of us! Sweetest Jesus! What is there that Thou couldst have done for us which Thou has not done!

May the fruit of Thy suffering be renewed in my soul by the faithful remembrance of Thy Passion, and may Thy love increase in my heart each day, until I see Thee in eternity: Thou Who art the treasure of every real good and every joy, which I beg Thee to grant me, O Sweetest Jesus, in heaven. Amen.

The 15 Prayers of St. Bridget are wonderful prayers, one cannot say enough good of them!

That is how much Our God loves us Shin! 

“O man, created in such great dignity, why dost thou lose thyself in things so vile? If thou shouldst consider well, thou wouldst easily see that all worldly things which thou desirest are as nothing when compared to those spiritual goods which God gives thee even in this life, which is so full of ignorance."
Life and Doctrine of Saint Catherine of Genoa

[Shin]

 

'This is a life which neither a pagan nor an unbelieving Jew may have and possess -- nor, for that matter, any Christian who is a slave to his vices and sins. It is a life prepared only for those who both believe and live without blemish.'

St. Niceta of Remesiana

[Shin]

'Keep beating your breast and crying out: "From my secret sins cleanse me, O Lord, and from those of others spare thy servant." Once a man longs to be cleansed of his hidden sins, he loses all joy in being soiled by such things.'

St. Niceta of Remesiana

[George]

'Keep beating your breast and crying out: "From my secret sins cleanse me, O Lord, and from those of others spare thy servant." Once a man longs to be cleansed of his hidden sins, he loses all joy in being soiled by such things.'

"Watch me, O Lord, this day; for, abandoned to myself, I shall surely betray Thee.
St. Phillip Neri

[odhiambo]

Be Like Children

Little children follow and obey their father. They love their mother. They know nothing of covetousness, ill-will, bad temper, arrogance and lying. This state of mind opens the road to heaven. To imitate our Lord’s own humility, we must return to the simplicity of God’s little ones.

St. Hillary of Poirtiers

[odhiambo]

" If today you hear His voice, harden not your hearts."
