Double blessing...


"Those in the Catholic Church, whom some rebuke for praying to 
Saints and going on pilgrimages, do not seek any Saint as their savior.  
Instead, they seek saints as those whom their Savior loves, and 
whose intercession and prayer for the seeker He will be content to hear.  
For His Own sake, He would have those He loves honored.  
And when they are thus honored for His sake, then the honor 
that is given them for His sake overflows especially to Himself."  
 St Thomas More.


"What does it matter where we go?

Wherever we go, 
won't we be serving God there?
And wherever we go, won't we have our Lord
in the Blessed Sacrament with us?
Isn't that enough to make us happy?
