The Way of Divine Love...

"Our mission as Christians is to conform ourselves 
evermore to Jesus as the model of our lives."  - Pope Francis

“The Blessed Sacrament is the invention of love. 

It is life and fortitude for souls, a remedy for every fault,

and a viaticum for the last passage from time and eternity. 

In it sinners recover life for their souls;

tepid souls, true warmth;

 fervent souls, tranquility and satisfaction of every longing…

saintly souls, wings to fly towards perfection…

pure souls, sweet honey and rarest sustenance."

The Way of Divine Love, Words of Our Lord to Sr Josefa Menendez

Oh, day of Love Divine, all loves excelling!

to receive a priest's First Blessing!

"The work of the priest is eternal. ... There are many commendable things

many people can do - and do do... but the work of the priest is to keep people

out of hell ... and get them into heaven ... that is an eternal work. "
