Well-placed trust...

"You must do your duty and make chaos all night.

Show your Christian joy the Lord gave you to be in the

community who follows Jesus." - Pope Francis upon his arrival

in Krakow at World Youth Day July 27

 

 

"Trust all things

to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament

and to Mary, Help of Christians,

and you will see what Miracles are."

 

St John Bosco

 

 

"That is what we too, in the Church, are constantly called to do:

to listen, to get involved and be neighbors,

sharing in people's joys and struggles,

so that the Gospel can spread

ever more consistently and fruitfully:

radiating goodness through the transparency of our lives." 

- Pope Francis - WYD, Krakow, holy Mass 7/30/16

Live differently...

"One who has hope, lives differently." - Pope Benedict XVI

 

 

"If the poison of pride is swelling in you, turn to the Eucharist; 

and that Bread, Which is God humbling and disguising Himself,

will teach you humility.

 

If the fever of selfish greed rages in you, feed on this Bread;

and you will learn generosity.

 

If the cold wind of coveting withers you, hasten to the Bread

of Angels; and charity will come to blossom in your heart.

 

If you feel the itch of intemperance, nourish yourself with

the Flesh and Blood of Christ, Who practiced heroic self-control

during His earthly life; and you will become temperate.

 

If you are lazy and sluggish about spiritual things,

strengthen yourself with this heavenly Food; and you will grow fervent.

 

Lastly, if you feel scorched by the fever of impurity,

go to the banquet of the Angels; and the

spotless Flesh of Christ will make you pure and chaste. 

 

St Cyril of Alexandria

Remedy and consolation for souls

 It is written in the prophets,

'And they shall all be taught by God.' - John 6:45

"Oh Jesus! Sweetness of hearts, delight of the spirit, by the bitterness of the vinegar and gall which Thou didst taste on the Cross of Love for us, grant us the grace to receive worthily Thy Precious Body and Blood during our life and at the hour of our death, that they may serve as a remedy and consolation for our souls.  Amen.”
