...Conduct yourselves with reverence during the time of
your sojourning,
realizing that you were ransomed from your futile conduct,
handed on by your ancestors, not with perishable things like silver or gold
but with the precious blood of Christ... I Peter 1:17-19

"Receive the Body and Blood of Christ
very frequently.
The sight of a Christian's lips red
with the Blood of Christ terrifies the enemy.
He immediately recognizes the sign of his own
ruin.
He cannot stand the instrument of divine victory
by which he was taken captive and cast down."

A day in
HISTORY: Today,
May 8, is the Birthday Anniversary of St John Vianney - and also the Anniversary
of my First Holy Communion - oh-so-many
years ago. Earlier in that week I had contracted the measles, so was home
convalescing, but I remember the day vividly!
When our
parish priest brought the Blessed Sacrament into our home a sweet, holy hush
blanketed the living room. The relatives
that had gathered to celebrate my private First Holy Communion, reverently bowed
very low. I listened, I watched and I pondered all - fittingly dressed in my
white dress and veil. My polka-dotted face held beaming grin and my heart
nearly burst! ~ Janette
Oh, happy, holy day!
Translation holy
card: "The
things of earth seem of little account
when
one possesses the highest good."
14th December is my First Holy Communion Date!
