“And though I suffer darknesses
in this mortal life,
that is not so hard a thing;
for even if I have no light
I have the life of heaven.”

The Father spoke one Word, which was his Son,
and this Word he speaks always in eternal silence,
and in silence must it be heard by the soul.

A Song of #praise to #ChristTheKing
Your royal scepter is a scepter of equity;
you love righteousness and hate wickedness.
Therefore God, your God, has anointed you
with the oil of gladness above your fellows

God told St. Catherine of Siena in a mystical vision:
"I created your soul with a capacity for loving--so much so that you cannot live without love. Indeed, love is your food." #EucharistAdoration
“Man is the creature with a mystery in his heart that is bigger than himself.”

Nicky Verna of @HopesGarden1 just wrote a beautiful reflection called "At the Feet of Christ," so I wanted to share it with any of my friends on #CatholicTwitter who may be interested.

I will thank you, #Lord , among the peoples, among the nations I will praise you, for your love reaches to the heavens and your truth to the skies.
O #God , arise above the heavens;
may your glory shine on earth!
#Psalm 108

In moments when fever, agony, and pain make it hard to pray, the suggestion of prayer that comes from merely holding the rosary - or better still, from caressing the Crucifix at the end of it - is tremendous!
How gently and lovingly you wake in my heart,
where in secret you dwell alone;
and in your sweet breathing, filled with good and glory, how tenderly you swell my heart with love.
St. John of the Cross
In Mary Immaculate we contemplate the reflection of the Beauty that saves the world: the beauty of God resplendent on the Face of Christ.
— Benedict XVI
“I can have no other spouse, but Jesus Christ. I have considered myself content to live in poverty and misery for his love.”
- Saint Kateri Tekakwitha

"In solidarity we cry out with those who suffer. In consolation we feel deeply with those in pain. And finally, we offer comfort by pointing beyond our shared human pains to glimpses of strength and hope."
(Henri Nouwen)
