Remember The Forgotten Souls in Purgatory

(Image Source: Wikimedia Commons)


The suffering souls in purgatory are powerless to help themselves, and therefore we should from charity help them. For we would be considered exceedingly hard-hearted who, if he could, would not assist his own brother were he in a city prison; and therefore a great deal more hard-hearted are we if we do not help our friends in purgatory; especially since no earthly punishment can be compared to theirs in any way. 

St. Thomas Aquinas, O.P.

Don't Let The Enemies of Truth Win

 

But, Lord, It Is So Difficult

(Image Source- Wikimedia Commons) Jesus warned that sometimes His teachings would bring conflict to those who accepted and lived them (Luke 12: 49-53)…being true to the Gospel means I will have to stand up for what I believe even if it causes division among those with whom I live and work.   Jesus, do not let my distaste for conflict keep me from supporting and living Your profound teachings.   One Bread, One Body

Let Us Adore Him!

Let us adore Jesus in our hearts, who spent 30 years out of 33 in silence; who began His public life by spending 40 days in silence; who often retired alone to spend the night on a mountain in silence.  He, who spoke with authority, now spends His earthly life in silence.  Let us adore Jesus in the Eucharistic silence.  (Blessed Teresa of Calcutta)
