He Does Whatever St. Joseph Asks

"I never remember having entrusted anything to him [St. Joseph], which he has failed to do. I'm amazed by the great favors God has given me through this blessed Saint, the dangers from which he has freed me, both of body and soul. It seems that our Lord gives grace to the other Saints to give help in some particular need, but I know from experience that this glorious Saint helps in every necessity. And our Lord wants to make us understand that just as he was subject to him on earth – being his guardian Joseph had the name of father and could command him – so in heaven he does whatever Joseph asks."

St. Teresa of Avila

Don't Starve To Death

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. )

Don't Pray? Think Again!

(Image source: Wikimedia Commons ) In whatever state a soul may be, it ought to pray. A soul which is pure and beautiful must pray, or else it will lose its beauty; a soul which is striving after this purity must pray, or else it will never attain it; a soul which is newly converted must pray, or else it will fall again; a sinful soul, plunged in sins, must pray so that it might rise again. There is no soul which is not bound to pray, for every single grace comes to the soul through prayer. St. Maria Faustina Kowalska
