“If I may speak figuratively, drive out the roaring beasts from your domain; do not cease from protecting yourself daily by receiving the Flesh and Blood of the Lord. Let your secret foe see your lips reddened with the Blood of Christ. He will shudder, cower back, and flee to his dark, dank retreat.”
St Peter Damian
Reformer, Cardinal
Doctor of the Church
Italy ~ 1007-1072
MOTTO: “Do not prefer anything to the love of Christ.”
FEAST DAY - February 21
“Christ cannot be accused of forgetfulness: Christ does not enjoin things contrary to His commands. He is the Bread that came down from heaven, which is daily brought to the table of the Church, as a heavenly food, which is broken for the forgiveness of sins, which feeds and nourishes unto life everlasting them that eat the same.” ~ St Peter Damian
St Peter Damian, ora pro nobis!
