everything is the direct effect of our Father's love...

Everything is a grace because everything is God's gift."

From the bottom of my heart I recommend
frequent confession and Communion,
but both of these sacraments should
be received with the proper dispositions
so that progress in virtue
can be made each time."
Saint Juan Bosco

“St. Augustine says, that to prevent the sheep from seeking
assistance by her cries, the wolf seizes her by the neck,
and thus securely carries her away and devours her. The Devil acts
in a similar manner with the sheep of Jesus Christ.
After having induced them to yield to sin, he seizes them
by the throat, that they may not confess their guilt;
and thus he securely brings them to Hell." - St Alphonsus Ligouri

Prepare for a time of Confession now -
before Gaudete Sunday -
that you may truly REJOICE!
The soul that is in bondage to the flesh is incapable
of conceiving things divine, and hence the surest way
to enlighten the mind is to purify the heart." - Abbe Fouard
