The Holy Hour becomes…
The Holy Hour becomes like an oxygen tank to revive the breath of the Holy Spirit in the midst of the foul and fetid atmosphere of the world.
–Blessed Fulton Sheen (1895-1979)
Mary is our mother…
The title of Mary as our mother is not merely symbolic. Mary is our mother in the most real and lofty sense, a sense which surpasses that of earthly maternity. She begot our life of grace for us because she offered up her entire being, body and soul, as the Mother of God. That is why an intimate bond exists between Mary & ourselves. She loves us, she knows us, she exerts herself to bring each one of us into the closest possible relationship with the Lord – that which we are above all supposed to be.
–Saint Teresa Benedicta of the Cross (1891-1942)
In need of divine life…
‘And the Word became flesh‘. That truth became a reality in the manger at Bethlehem. But it was to be fulfilled in yet another form: ‘Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood, has eternal life.’ The Savior, who knows that we are human beings and will remain human beings who have to struggle daily with weaknesses, comes to our assistance in a truly divine manner. Just as the human body is in need of daily bread, so also does the divine life in us require constant nourishment.
–Saint Teresa Benedicta of the Cross (1891-1942)
Detachment is…
Detachment is designated as a night through which the soul must pass. It is this in a threefold sense: in regard to the point of departure, the path, and the goal.
–Saint Teresa Benedicta of the Cross (1891-1942)
The door of His heart open…
The Lord our King will hold the door of His heart open for anyone who wants to enter for an audience at any time.
–Saint Pio (1887-1968)
Place your heart gently…
Place your heart gently in Our Lord’s wounds. Have great confidence in His mercy for He will never abandon you.
–Saint Pio (1887-1968)
