Eucharistic thoughts and prayers from three
'family members' on their FEAST DAY today...
St Louis de Montfort used to remain after Holy Mass for thanksgiving
at least a half hour, and he would not permit any need or assignment
to serve as a reason for omitting it. He said,
"I would not give up this hour of thanksgiving
even for an hour of Paradise."
St Louis de Montfort
France ~ 1673-1716

Founder ~ Sisters of Divine Wisdom

'She (Mother Mary) is an echo of God, speaking and repeating only God.
If you say "Mary" she says 'God'." ~ St Louis de Montfort
St Louis de Montfort, ora pro nobis!
"Our body is a cenacle,
a monstrance:
through its crystal the world should see God."
St Gianna Beretta Molla

“The life of Mamma was an act and a perennial action of faith and charity; it was a non-stop search for the will of God for every decision and for every work, with prayer and meditation, Holy Mass and the Eucharist,” explained St. Gianna’s husband to their children after her death.
When called upon to justify his conversion,
one of Chanel's catechumens had said of him,
"He loves us. He does what he teaches.
He forgives his enemies. His teaching is good."

it is faith that makes martyrs" (Bl John Cardinal Newman,
Discourses to Mixed Congregations).
St Peter Chanel, ora pro nobis!
