Without It Our Faith Will Die

The Mass is the center and kernel of Catholic worship; without it our faith would die, as it does in those who willfully miss their obligation of attendance at Mass. Those who have so often tried to stamp out the Church have understood this well, for they have always advocated abolishing the Mass. Yet with the Mass we have 'the power of God and the wisdom of God' which nothing can restrain. For the Holy Eucharist is not only a sacrament, it is also a sacrifice, the renewal of the Sacrifice of Mount Calvary, whereby the infinite fruits of that sacrifice are applied to our souls.

Father Desmond Murray, 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)
