Marian Consecration Starting Today

I'm starting Fr. Gaitley's 33 Days to Morning Glory preparation for Marian Consecration starting today. This will be the second time I'm doing the prep, so it will be a renewal of my Marian Consecration, and a renewal of my Baptism vows (although those were originally pronounced for me by my parents). I invite you [...]

Daily Virtue Quote – Pope St. John Paul II

"In fact, Christ realized and showed the freedom that finds its fullness in love, the freedom thanks to which we 'serve one another'; in other words: the freedom that becomes the source of new 'works' and of 'life' according to the Spirit.  The antithesis and in some way the negation of this freedom takes place [...]

Daily Eucharist Quote – St. Thomas Aquinas

"The Evangelists did not intend to hand down the forms of the sacraments, which in the primitive Church had to be kept concealed, as Dionysius observes at the close of his book on the ecclesiastical hierarchy; their object was to write the story of Christ. Nevertheless nearly all these words can be culled from various [...]

Daily Eucharist Quote – St. Peter Julian Eymard

"Lastly, you come to Adoration to glorify God by your praise, your homage, and to encircle His Eucharistic Throne like the angels and saints, chanting at the foot of His throne of glory. But tell me, do you think you can glorify God with impure lips? You should by your love erect for Him in [...]

Daily Virtue Quote – Thomas a’ Kempis

"If you do not know how to meditate on heavenly things, direct your thoughts to Christ’s passion and willingly behold His sacred wounds.  If you turn devoutly to the wounds and precious stigmata of Christ, you will find great comfort in suffering, you will mind but little the scorn of men, and you will easily [...]

Daily Eucharist Quote – Catechism of the Catholic Church

"Because it is the memorial of Christ's Passover, the Eucharist is also a sacrifice. the sacrificial character of the Eucharist is manifested in the very words of institution: 'This is my body which is given for you' and 'This cup which is poured out for you is the New Covenant in my blood.' In the [...]

You must become convinced of it, enthusiastic over it, for to do anything well, to arrive at the possession [...]
