Seek not to understand that you may believe, but believe that you may understand. ~St. Augustine

What a gift to be tired from work you once prayed for

[BARITUS Catholic Illustration @BaritusCatholic]

One of the tricks of the devil is to tell you that your pain requires a compassion at the level of compromising of virtue.

No it doesn't.

All humans face pain, don't be so presumptuous. The degrees are different, but we only know what we know, and that is the story we find ourselves in.

Our Lord tells us that pain is a path to glory.

Become a warrior right now! Turn in to the pain. Face it. Confront it. Conquer it. Stop letting weak-kneed people tell you why you should be aggrieved. DIE TO YOURSELF. This is key. Put yourself on the Cross. And He will lift you up. It will hurt, it will burn, but you will resurrect in glory.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

We live as if life were never enough. We rush to produce, to prove ourselves, to keep up. But the Gospel teaches us that knowing how to stop is an act of trust that we must learn to perform. Life does not always depend on what we do, but also in knowing how to let go of what we have been able to do. #GeneralAudience

[Cardinal Burke @cardinalrlburke]

Christ alone satisfies man’s deepest hunger and thirst, the hunger and thirst for truth and love. Christ alone feeds man with the Heavenly Bread of His very Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity, healing hearts wounded by sin and inflaming them with divine truth and love.

[Sr. Miriam James @onegroovynun]

Come, Holy Spirit, come!
Heal our wounds,
our strength renew;
On our dryness pour your dew;
Wash the stains of guilt away:
Bend the stubborn heart and will;
Melt the frozen, warm the chill;
Guide the steps that go astray.

Saint Norbert, Bishop, pray for us!

St. Norbert, pray for us!

[Danny Mitchell @dannymitcheII]

Happy Feast of St. Norbert! Today is a joyful reminder of the holy life our founder lived. His love for the truth, his devotion to the Blessed Sacrament, and his zeal continue to inspire me every day. Sancti Norberti, ora pro nobis! 🕊️

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Faith is above all a response to a gaze of love. The greatest mistake we can make as Christians is, in the words of Saint Augustine, “to presume that the grace of Christ consists in His example and not in the gift of His person.”

[Bishop Robert Barron @BishopBarron]

“Today our Lord Jesus Christ ascended into heaven; let our hearts ascend with him.” —St. Augustine

Today would have been the 105th birthday of St. John Paul II.

St. John Paul II, pray for us!🙏

[Sachin Jose @Sachinettiyil]

Pope John Paul II was shot on this day, May 13, in 1981, in St. Peter’s Square. In a powerful witness to the Gospel, he later forgave his would-be assassin, Mehmet Ali Ağca, even visiting him in prison to offer mercy and reconciliation.

[Alex at Hallow @alexathallow]

We pull up to Mass today and it’s packed. I ask my wife why? Is it a big feast day or something?

No, she says, it’s because of Mother’s Day.

Of course.

Mom’s all around the country woke up today and their families asked what they wanted to do…and they answered go to Church.

And I was just immediately brought to tears.

How much we’ve failed as men over the last 50 years.

How many mom’s, despite the weakness of us men, have been the spiritual bedrocks of their families. How souls have been saved by the prayers of their mother. You have carried our Church through these past decades. How indebted we all are to you.

Happy Mother’s Day.

Mary our Mother - thank you.

[Cardinal R. Sarah @Card_R_Sarah]

Regina Cæli, laetare, alleluia,
quia quem meruisti portare, alleluia.
Resurrexit, sicut dixit, alleluia.
Ora pro nobis Deum, alleluia.
