Jumping late on the bandwagon, but because I want to, I finally start a blog.
Taking my queue from a couple of recent Catholic themed blogs I liked, particularly A Journey of Vocation and Dracut Musings.
I’m trying to see what light or insights I can bring while in a spiritually dark feeling diocese. Let’s see what develops.
St. John of the Cross
About Me
St. Athanasius the Great
Church Father, Doctor of the Church, Champion of Orthodoxy
Saint Dominic
St. Catherine of Siena
"By humble and faithful prayer, the soul aquires, with time and perseverance, every virtue."
St. Thomas Aquinas
"In a sacrilege, we find a special type of deformation, namely the violation of a sacred thing by treating it with irreverence." (Summa. II Q. 99, Art. 2)
Pope St. Pius V
"[I]t shall be unlawful henceforth and forever throughout the Christian world to sing or to read Masses according to any formula other than that of this Missal published by Us; ..." --Quo Primum
Pope St. Pius X
"Let the storm rage and the sky darken - not for that shall we be dismayed. If we trust as we should in Mary, we shall recognize in her, the Virgin Most Powerful 'who with virginal foot did crush the head of the serpent.'"
Venerable Pope Pius XII
"Man should tremble, the world should vibrate, all Heaven should be deeply moved when the Son of God appears on the altar in the hands of the priest." --St Francis of Assisi.
Official Prayer for the Canonization of Matt Talbot
Lord, in your servant, Matt Talbot you have given us a wonderful example of triumph over addiction, of devotion to duty, and of lifelong reverence of the Holy Sacrament. May his life of prayer and penance give us courage to take up our crosses and follow in the footsteps of Our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Father, if it be your will that your beloved servant should be glorified by your Church, make known by your heavenly favours the power he enjoys in your sight. We ask this through the same Jesus Christ Our Lord. Amen.
