Rightly devoted... (EASTER SATURDAY)

"You've got to pray to Our Lady.  
When you lose devotion to Our Lady 
you're out there with the wolves." - Mother Angelica

"Do you, then, be also careful always to join
to your daily visit to the most Blessed Sacrament
visit to the most holy Virgin Mary in some church,
or at least before a devout image in your own house.  

If you do this with tender affection and confidence,
you may hope to receive great things from this most gracious Lady,
who, as St Andrew of Crete says, always bestows great gifts
on those who offer her even the least act of homage."

St Alphonsus Ligouri

Paradox of Love... (EASTER FRIDAY)

"We know that God makes all things work together
for the good of those who love him, who have been called
according to his decree." - Romans 8:28


"By beautiful paradox of Divine love,
God makes His Cross the very means of our salvation and our life.
We have slain Him; we have nailed Him there and crucified Him;
but the Love in His eternal heart could not be extinguished.

He willed to give us the very life we slew;
to give us the very Food we destroyed;
to nourish us with the very Bread we buried,
and the very Blood we poured forth.

He made our very crime into a happy fault;
He turned Crucifixion into a Redemption;
a Consecration into a Communion;
death into Life Everlasting."

Archbishop Fulton J Sheen
