Yearning For God

22 August 2022

It is part of our human nature to desire God, and it is part of God’s nature to desire us. We can never stop yearning for God until we are possessed by God in the fullness of love.

    Saint Julian of Norwich (1342–1416)

Preaching of the Church

21 August 2022

The preaching of the Church truly continues without change and is everywhere the same. It has the testimony of the Prophets and Apostles and all their disciples.

        Saint Irenaeus of Lyons

Coram Deo

19 August 2022

Be patient in tribulation, watchful in prayer, strenuous in labors, modest in speech, grave in manners, and grateful for benefits, because for all these things God has prepared for you an eternal kingdom.

        Saint Francis of Assisi

Confidence In God

17 August 2022

My confidence is placed in God who does not need our help for accomplishing his designs. Our single endeavor should be to give ourselves to the work and to be faithful to him, and not to spoil his work by our shortcomings.

      Saint Isaac Jogues (1607-1646)

The Rosary

16 August 2022

The Rosary is my favorite prayer. A marvelous prayer! Marvelous in its simplicity and its depth. In the prayer we repeat many times the words that the Virgin Mary heard from the Archangel, and from her kinswoman Elizabeth.

    Saint John Paul (1920-2005)

On Prayer

14 August 2022

When prayer becomes too self-centered, even if it is centered upon noble and holy desires, if the focus of our prayer is I, me, or my, we are going to be in difficulty.

        Armand M. Nigro, S.J.

Turning Away From Impurity

13 August 2022

Be extremely prompt in turning away from all that leads and lures to impurity, for this evil… by small beginnings, progresses to great mischief. It is always easier to avoid than to cure this.

        Saint Francis de Sales
