Forgotten Truths To Set Faith Afire!

 

"Through the Holy Eucharist you will fall in love with God. The more you love God,   the more you receive God,   the deeper your love becomes. The more your heart opens, you and Trinity are one. Love demands love in return and love begets love… we ask what must we do? I prefer to say what must we be? We must be lovers who love God back. We cannot help it... When you love, you want to serve…" (From Communion is a Flame Bursting Within by Catherine Doherty)

 

 

 

 

Find out how much God has given you and from it take what you need; the remainder which you do not require is needed by others. St. Augustine  

(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.

(Image source: Wikimedia Commons ) What does love look like? It has the hands to help others. It has the feet to hasten to the poor and needy. It has eyes to see misery and want. It has the ears to hear the sighs and sorrows of men.   That is what love looks like.  St. Augustine
