Quote for the Day

[Shin]

Principium sapientiae, posside sapientiam; et in omni possessione tua acquire prudentiam.

The beginning of wisdom, possess wisdom, and in all thy possession purchase prudence:

[Shin]

'A prudent man is one who sees as it were from afar, for his sight is keen, and he foresees the event of uncertainties.'

St. Isidore of Seville

[Shin]

'When faith grows weak, all virtues are weakened. When faith is lost, all virtues are lost.'

St. Alphonsus Maria de Liguori

[Therese]

"Men will surrender to the spirit of the age. They will say that if they had lived in our day, faith would be simple and easy. But in their day, they will say, things are complex; the Church must be brought up to date and made meaningful to the day's problems."

--Saint Anthony (ca. 251-356)

[Therese]

John XXIII and Paul VI with the Vatican II Counsel surrendered to the spirit of the age ... so did their modernist church.  Sigh!

[Therese]

•“For all the gods of the Gentiles are devils: but the Lord made the heavens.” (Ps 95:5)
•“Adore not any strange god. The Lord his name is Jealous, he is a jealous God.” (Ex 34:14)
•“Turn ye not to idols, nor make to yourselves molten gods. I am the Lord your God.” (Lev 19:4)
•“I will destroy your high places, and break your idols. You shall fall among the ruins of your idols, and my soul shall abhor you.” (Lev 26:30)
•“Thou shalt not have strange gods in my sight.” (Deut 5:7)
•“Overthrow their altars, and break down their statues, burn their groves with fire, and break their idols in pieces: destroy their names out of those places.” (Deut 12:3)

The Assisi Prayer Meetings of the modernists Church is an abomination.  The teaching of the modernist Church of false ecumenism and religious liberty goes against the First Commandment and is leading gullible souls into hell.  I fear for those in the modernist Church whose ignorance is not invincible.  People with a Catholic sense know that false ecumenism and religious liberty is gravely wrong and that the modernist Church is eclipsing the Catholic Church and ruining souls with its Modernism.  How can you be saved if you die in a false religion and are not invincibly ignorant?  You can't.  Live and die in the true Church of Jesus Christ, the Roman Catholic Church--and not in a false religion that promotes humanistic Freemasonic Modernism (e.g. false ecumenism and religious liberty).  God bless you all.  

[James - a humble servant]

We are not innocent before God if we punish that which we should pardon, or pardon that which we should punish.                                   

~ St. Bernard

[Therese]

"Persecutions serve to bring forth saints."

--Saint Augustine (354-430)

[Therese]

Man receives the forgiveness of sins before Baptism in so far as he has Baptism of desire, explicitly or implicitly.

--St. Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologica



The following does a good job of explaining the above:

Q. If a person lived a decent, noble and moral life as judged by Catholic Faith beliefs and standards, yet was not a Christian or a Catholic and may, for the sake of discussion, be a non-believer, would this person be denied Heaven? A. To gain eternal salvation, it is not always required that a person be incorporated in fact as a member of the Church, but it is required that he belong to it at least in desire and longing [in voto]. It is not always necessary that this desire be explicit as it is with catechumens. When a man is invincibly ignorant, God also accepts an implicit desire, so called because it is contained in the good disposition of soul by which a man wants his will to be conformed to God's will.

- Letter of the Holy Office to the Archbishop of Boston, August 8, 1949

[Therese]

"Even if there were only one person left who held the right Catholic Faith, there would be the Catholic Church."

--Ven. Anne Catherine Emmerick (1774-1824)

[Therese]

"Not to oppose error is to approve it; and not to defend truth is to suppress it; and indeed to neglect to confound evil men, when we can do it, is no less a sin than to encourage them."

--Pope St. Felix III




What cowards people today are, many of whom call themselves "Catholic."  How many of them go along with error and sin in doing so?  Not to oppose error is to approve it and not to defend truth is to suppress it; and to neglect to confound evil men, when we can do it, is no less sin than to encourage them, says the holy Pope Felix III.

[Therese]

“But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, they shall have their portion in the pool burning with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.” (Apoc 21:8 )

'Great graces are often attached to what seems trifling.'

St. Margaret Mary Alacoque

I am curious as to what folks think these seemingly trifling things might be!

[Therese]

'Great graces are often attached to what seems trifling.'

St. Margaret Mary Alacoque

I am curious as to what folks think these seemingly trifling things might be!

Picking up a piece of thread from the floor for the love of God when nobody else does it.  It is trifling, yet not really; for there are great graces attached to doing this little thing/act for the love of God.  There are great graces attached to doing little things with great love of God.

"The best perfection is to do ordinary things in a perfect manner. Constant fidelity in little things is a great and heroic virtue."

--Saint Bonaventure (1221-1274)

[Therese]

"Wrong is wrong even if everybody is doing it, and right is right even if nobody is doing it."

- Saint Augustine (354-430)

I added a relevant quote to my last post, post 1933.
