Look Up! Look Up With the Eyes of Your Mind, Heart and Soul!

en t


“When the Host is held on high and a chalice lifted…look up! Look up and see what Mary saw.  See a naked man squirming as He bleeds against a blackened sky; see a battered human body, writhing on a tree, prisoned there by savage spikes that have torn through Sacred hands and feet; see thorn-tortured head tossing from side to side as anguished torso labors, lifts and strains; see the eyes of God roll towards heaven beseeching, as broken lips blurt out that soul piercing cry: “My God, My God, Why has Thou forsaken Me?” What is this?  This is the Mass.  This is Crucifixion.  This is what Mary saw at the elevation of Christianity’s first Mass.  This is what you should see at the Elevation of every Mass!” 

(From  The Way to God by Father M. Raymond, O.C.S.O.)

Jesus to St. Catherine of Siena on Divine Providence

(Image Source: Wikimedia Commons ) Nothing has ever happened and nothing happens save by the plan of My Divine Providence. In all things that I permit, in all things that I give you, in tribulations and in consolations, temporal or spiritual, I do nothing save for your good, so that you may be sanctified in Me and that My Truth be fulfilled in you. (From The Dialogue ) PAUSE AND PONDER:   Am I unwilling to believe God when He says nothing happens in my life that is not part of His Divine will for me? Do I refuse to see God’s hands in the struggles and trials of my daily life? Am I afraid to trust Him? (Excerpted from Pondering Tidbits of Truth, Volume VI)

Numbing of Consciences

In fact, the numbing of consciences, their indifference to good and evil, their deviations, are a great threat for man.  Indirectly, they are also a great threat for society, because in the last analysis the level of morality of society depends on the human conscience.  St. John Paul II (Pope)

What A Priceless and Undeserved Gift!

(Image Source: Wikimedia Commons ) The effects of Holy Communion are: spiritual nourishment of the soul (an increase in sanctifying grace, of the virtues and gifts of the Holy Spirit); intimate union of the soul with Christ and with His mystical body through grace and charity; a diminishing or mitigating of sensual passions; a glorious resurrection of the body; the remission of venial sins; the remission in some part or in great part of the temporal punishment due to sin; and spiritual sweetness and delights.  Father Winfrid Herbst, S.D.S
