The Mass


"If we really understood the Mass, we would die of joy." ~ Saint Jean Vianney~
"There is nothing so great as the Eucharist. If God had something more precious, He would have given it to us." ~ Saint Jean Vianney~
"It would be easier for the world to survive without the sun than to do without Holy Mass. " ~St. Pio of Pietrelcina (Padre Pio), stigmatic priest~

Morning Prayer


I will raise myself up from this bed of sleep to adore my God and to labour for the salvation of my soul. Oh, may I rise on the last day to life everlasting!

Taken from a Manuel of Catholic Devotions Imprimatur May 3 1900, Archbiship Michael Augustine

Never Give Up

"Don’t let your weakness, faults, and sins deter you. Repent and get up again and again. You honor the Lord by such fidelity, and there is no limit to His patience and His forgiveness. May God bless you and lead you day by day. May the Christ of the Gospels capture your heart and your mind in such a way that you will never be the same.” - Sister Ann Shields

Dependence on God

"The disciples came to Jesus and said, " Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?", And He called a child to Himself and set him before them, And said truly I say to you, unless you are converted, And become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven. And whoever receives one such child in My name, receives Me."

A little child completely trusts His Father to care for him. A little child is completely dependant on his father for all his needs.
Are we willing to admit that we need God? Can we trust Him like a little child?

Choose life!
