For the wisdom of the flesh brings death, but that of the spirit brings life and peace, since the wisdom of the flesh is the enemy of God; it is not subject to God's law, nor can it be.
And since the wisdom of the flesh is unable to bear the yoke of God's law, it cannot look upon it either, for its eyes are clouded with the smoke of pride.
~ St. Peter Damian
#Discipline
The preacher must be a son of knowledge and learning.
He must first know what, to whom, and when to preach;
and then he must know in himself how to live in accordance with what he preaches.
~ St. Anthony of Padua,
Sermon for the 3rd Sunday after Pentecost
“No man can find salvation except in the Catholic Church. Outside the Catholic Church one can have everything except salvation. One can have honor, one can have the sacraments, one can sing alleluia, one can answer amen, one can have faith in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost, and preach it too, but never can one find salvation except in the Catholic Church.”
Saint Augustine
Ora Pro Nobis
The name "Gethsemane" derives from Hebrew words meaning "place of pressing oil".
Because we are to follow and imitate Christ, it is the crushing and pressing of temptations and trials that brings us day by day closer to His new creation - by His grace
I don't know who might be reading this, but this is a reminder.
Never forget that there is Someone who is always praying for you...... Never forget it...
St. John Francis Regis (1640)
He entered the Jesuits on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. He labored for the conversion of the Huguenots, assisted the needy, and withdrew from vice wayward women and girls. He established confraternities in honor of the Blessed Sacrament.
Prayer of St. Anthony to Our Lady 1
.
We beg thee, our Lady and our hope, thou, who art the Star of the Sea, illumine thy children, engulfed in the turbulent sea of sin; guide us to the safe harbor of forgiveness, so we may successfully complete the journey of our life with thy protection. With His help whom thou didst carry in thy womb, and nourish at thy holy breasts. To Him be honor and glory throughout all ages. Amen.
Quando meditiamo sulla Passione di Gesù Cristo, conosciamo veramente noi stessi: Gesù dice a ognuno di noi “Sei voluto. Sei amato. Vale la pena lottare per te”. Nulla può sconfiggere l’amore di Gesù per noi.

Heart of Jesus, from whose fullness we have all received:
miserere nobis.
Jesus, gentle and humble of heart:
Touch our hearts and make them like your own.

And a great sign appeared in heaven: A woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.
Revelation 12:1
Monday:
In your charity, pray for the Holy Souls in Purgatory. The Church Suffering is counting on your succor.
Eternal Father,
I offer Thee the most precious blood of Thy Divine Son, Jesus, in union with the Masses said throughout the world today, for all the Holy Souls in purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the Universal Church, those in my own home and within my family.
Amen.

Our divine Mother, send the Holy Angels and Archangels as to defend us and to keep the cruel enemy far from us, O Holy Angels and Archangels, defend us, protect us!
"Let us draw near then to His Heart, a deep Heart, a hidden Heart, a Heart thinking of all, a Heart knowing all, a Heart loving, even on fire with love. Let us enter into that secret place, hidden from all eternity, but now revealed though the open side." (St. Bernardine of S.)
