Only A Fool Would Never Ponder Death!

Oh my soul, you must one day part with this body, but when shall that day be?  Shall it be in the winter, or in the summer?  In the city, or in the country?  By day, or by night? Shall it be suddenly, or on notice given you?  Shall you have leisure to make your Confession?  Shall you have the assistance of your spiritual father?  Alas, of all this, you know nothing at all!  Only certain it is that you must die.  In fact, as it almost always happens, much sooner than you imagine. 

St. Frances de Sales

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)
