[Pope Benedict XVI @P_BenedictXVI]

Kneeling before the Eucharist is a profession of freedom: those who bow to Jesus cannot and must not prostrate themselves before any earthly authority, however powerful. We Christians kneel only before the Blessed Sacrament because we know that the one true God is present in it.

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

Let us #PrayTogether for Pope Emeritus Benedict who is supporting the Church in silence. Let us ask the Lord to console him and to sustain him in this witness of love for the Church, until the end.

[Pope Benedict XVI @P_BenedictXVI]

If discouragement overwhelms you, think of the faith of Joseph; if anxiety has its grip on you, think of the hope of Joseph; if exasperation or hatred seizes you, think of the love of Joseph, who was the first man to set eyes on the human face of God.

“The real conversion of our hearts, which means opening ourselves to God’s transformative action, is the ‘driving force’ of every reform and is expressed in a real evangelizing effort.” - Pp. Benedict XVI

[Deacon Richard Braun @rickmafer]

@TysonMurphy25 “St. Joseph, we offer you our hearts. Unite them to yours and to that of Jesus and Mary, asking them to grant that this union be inviolable and eternal. Amen.” St John Eudes

[Joseph Murphy @TysonMurphy25]

“Our wish, our object, our chief preoccupation must be to form Jesus in ourselves, to make his spirit, his devotion, his affections, his desires and his disposition live and reign there.” - St. John Eudes

@caseyofm You can say that again.

[Ratzinger Quotes @RatzingerQuotes]

Christians have always known that in abandoning themselves to the will of the Father, they lose nothing, but instead discover their deepest identity and interior freedom. Those who bind themselves in an obedience grounded in God and inspired by the search for God, become free.

“Lead kindly light amid the encircling gloom, lead Thou me on! The night is dark and I am far from home, Lead Thou me on! Keep Thou my feet; I do not ask to see, The distant scene, one step enough for me.” -St. John Henry Newman

"Human hesitation must not be allowed to hold against oneself, what God's compassion wishes to forgive."
-St. Augustine

[Joseph Murphy @TysonMurphy25]

“Whether something is proposed for belief, for hope or for action, the love of our Lord must always be made accessible, so that anyone can see that all the works of perfect Christian virtue spring from love and have no other objective them to arrive at love.” Cf. Roman Catechism

[Joseph Murphy @TysonMurphy25]

“We see that at the beginning of the New Testament, as at the beginning of the Old, there is a married couple. But whereas Adam and Eve were the source of evil which was unleashed on the world, Joseph and Mary arc the summit from which holiness spreads all over the earth.”Paul VI

[Joseph Murphy @TysonMurphy25]

“Christ’s strength created you; Christ’s weakness recreated you. Christ’s strength brought it about that what was not should be; Christ’s weakness brought it about that what was should not perish. In His strength He formed us; in His weakness He sought us out.” - St. Augustine

[Walter Ciszek SJ @WalterCiszekSj]

We said Mass in drafty storage shacks, or huddled in mud and slush in the corner of a building site foundation of an underground. The intensity of devotion of both priests and prisoners made up for everything.
