Open wide the door...

 "The Lord is knocking at the door of our hearts.

Have we put a sign on the door saying:

'Do not disturb'?"- Pope Francis

 

"Do not be afraid of Christ!

He takes nothing away and 
He gives you everything.

When we give ourselves to Him,

we receive a hundred-fold in return.

Yes, open, open wide the doors to Christ -

and you will find true life." 

Pope Benedict XVI

Consider daily Communion in 2020 -
open wide the door to this true life!

The Food of Angels here...

"He is the Bread sown in the virgin, leavened in the Flesh,
molded in His Passion, baked in the furnace of the Sepulchre,
placed in the Churches, and set upon the Altars, 
which daily supplies Heavenly Food to the faithful." - St Peter Chrysologus

O beata infantia
Chant for the Christmas season

O blessed Infancy, 

by which the life of our race

has been restored!

O very dear and delightful cries,

by which we have escaped 

eternal lamentation!
O blessed swaddling clothes,

with which the defilement of our sins

has been wiped away!

O splendid manger, 

in which lay not just the hay of animals,

but in which was found the Food of Angels!
